Chapter Three
"I don't know if there's much point in looking for Hank," Don said, as he and Ted walked back to their rooms, "Question's probably killed him already."
"Not like it was Hank's fault," Ted said, chuckling. "Well, I've got to find Boost."
"How do you think he'll react," Don asked.
"Thrilled, I just hope he doesn't pick me up and spin me around," Ted said, rubbing his belly, "I think I need to barf."
"Morning sickness already?" Don asked.
"Not even morning," Ted groaned, "I'm not even two weeks pregnant and I'm already sick."
"I told you not to eat those oysters for breakfast," Don said. Ted nodded.
"I guess the baby doesn't like oysters," Ted said, as he turned into a hallway. Don turned down another, "I'll see you later kid."
"Bye," Don said, as he disappeared from view. Ted grinned at Fire and Ice as they walked past him.
"Hey Ted," they both said, he grinned even harder when Fire gave him a slap to the butt.
"Fire!"
"What?"
"So what was the verdict?" Booster Gold asked, as Ted sat down on a couch.
"Definitely up the duff," Ted said, "and it's definitely yours."
There was a moment of silence before Booster began to hoot and woot.
"Oh yeah! Who got ya up the duff? I did! That's Who! Who's the Bomb? I am! That's Who! OHHHHH! YEAHHH!" Booster hollered. "I need to go get some cigars! You want one?"
"I'm pregnant, you jackass," Ted snapped.
"Oh, oh yeah!" Booster sniggered, "then I'll get some beer instead!"
"I can't drink either," Ted growled.
"Yeah, well I can," Booster said, pulling out a cigar from his pocket.
"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!" Ted hollered causing Booster to drop the cigar in fright. "If you want to smoke, you leave the room. It isn't healthy for the baby!"
"Um, maybe I should just Google for pregnancy information," Booster said, thoughtfully.
"Good idea," Ted said, "I could use a coffee though."
"I don't think caffeine is any better then smokes or beer," Booster said.
"Yeah, you're probably right," Ted sighed, distraught at the thought of being cappuccino-less. "For once."
"About time you returned," Hank said, when Don finally returned, "So who's the dad?"
"You're alive! Did Question come and find you?"
"Yes," Hank said, "I'll tell you what happened later now tell me about the dad?"
"It's Green Arrow," Don said, "I'm not sure how to tell him though."
"Send him a greeting card," Hank shrugged, "Hi; you're invited to my labor, because you're the dad. Love Donny."
"Uh, okay then," Don said, exasperated at his brother's idea of help. "Well, what happened with Question?"
"He threatened to kill me," Hank said, "he hit me a few times and then I stopped him."
"Tell me you didn't hit him," Don said, bluntly.
"He is carrying a mini-me, why the fuck would I hit him?" Hank said, with a huff. "Sure, I was really tempted but I finally calmed him down by pretending I was you."
"I'm sorry?" Don asked, he could not have heard that correctly. "What?"
"I did that talking to people thing," Hank said, Don's mouth dropped, "It stopped him from hitting me, but now I have to make sure I'm around during the pregnancy and that I help with raising the bub. I also have to tell Huntress about this..."
"You what?"
"I know," Hank said, bluntly "Lucky aren't I."
"How do you think I feel?" Don said, sarcastically. "I might have to tell Black Canary…"
"Scary thought," Hank flinched, the brothers weren't too sure about the blonde vixen. "So when are ya gonna tell Arrow?"
"Today," Don said. "I just hope he knows that we're pregnant, and that he believes me."
"Every one knows you're pregnant," Hank said, "Supergirl and Stargirl found out, if they know, all of China probably knows too."
"Great, I wonder what Batman thinks of this…" Dove wondered. "He is going to kill some one in the next nine months."
"Way to go, Bats," Wally grinned as he zoomed up to the caped crusader. Batman jumped visibly as he wasn't expecting to barge into the office in the library. "Whatchu doing?"
"What do you want Wally," Batman snapped as he closed another draw in the room.
"What are you looking for?" Wally asked as he joined in the snooping, he opened a closet and found it empty of anything. Strange. "Isn't this Martha's office?"
"Yes," Batman said, slamming another draw shut furiously. Wally stepped back. "What do you want?"
"Nothing, I'm bored," Wally shrugged.
"Well, then go and find Dick and annoy him," Bruce growled. Wally smirked slightly.
"I don't believe you're gonna be a mummy," Wally laughed, Batman winced, "Can you imagine the great big Bat, a mummy?"
"Wally," Bruce said, slowly, "I am going to give you to the count of one to get out and leave."
"One, two, three, four, five," Wally began to count cheekily.
"FLASH!" Batman barked, causing Wally to giggle until he saw Bruce lunge at him. Wally screamed and bolted out the door. "Goddamn stupid, moronic, idiotic jackass!"
"I love you too!" He heard Wally yell. Bruce walked out the office and slammed the door behind him. He marched off frustrated towards his headquarters. He felt a gust of wind and Flash was standing beside him again.
"Now what?" Bruce growled.
"I just thought you may want to know," Flash grinned, "everyone's betting on you and who your daddy is."
"There is no daddy," Batman growled.
"I bet that it was Superman," Flash said, "So when are you going to tell us who it is, mummy?"
"It isn't Superman," Batman snapped. Flash groaned. "And don't call me mummy."
"There goes fifty bucks. GL?"
"No…" Batman sighed, wondering on how he'd get ride of the pesky speedster.
"Good, at least Shayera doesn't get anything either. Hawkman?"
"No,"
"That crosses out Ralph. Green Arrow?"
"No."
"Fire and Ice lost too. Plastic Man? Elongated man? Creeper? The Joker?"
"No, no, no, and God no! Who voted the Joker?"
"Creeper, who else? Hmm, Hawk? Booster Gold? Dove? Blue Beetle? J'onn?"
"No," Bruce said, rolling his eyes as he reached his room, and opened the door.
"Come on, mummy spill the beans," Flash said. Bruce entered his room and stopped to glare at the other man. "Who is it?"
"It's you, daddy," Bruce said, slamming the door in the face of a shell-shocked Flash. He walked over to his computer grinning evilly, before he swore and realized he just told the man. "GODDAMNIT!"
"So what do you think about the name Nathan?" Booster asked.
"Boring," Ted said, "Besides, I've already chosen the name."
"What then?" Booster asked as he munched on an apple.
"Katherine for a girl and for a boy Nebuchadnezzar," Ted smiled. Booster fell silent for a second.
"I'm not calling my kid Katherine," he said, finally. "And what the hell is Nebubucanana?"
"Nebuchadnezzar," Ted said, "It was the name of the ship in the Matrix."
"You're going to name your kid after a ship?" Booster asked, "Most people name their boats after their kids."
"Well, they're both better then Nathan," Ted said, sharply.
"Hey why don't we go on one of those Google sites and find a name or two or three," Booster said, pulling Ted up onto his lap. Their current situation gave Booster more reason to touch his best friend and hold him near. "Come on, the computer is still on. I was reading some crap about pregnancy. I think you might grow tits, because it said that women's boobs grow. Of course I wouldn't mind, you know."
"Michael, shut up," Ted muttered when Booster surprised him with squeeze to his rump. "Booster!"
"What?" Booster said, pulling Ted in tighter, arms wrapped around the shorter man's waist. Ted reddened in embarrassment. Booster typed up 'baby names' in the Google search engine. "We should write a list."
"Good idea," Ted said, trying to scramble out of Booster's arms to reach for a pen and paper.
"Hey, let's name the baby Legolas if it's a boy and Galadriel if it's a girl," Booster said writing both names down.
"Fleur," Ted said,
"Is that one R or two?"
"One, oh Gabriel I love that name," Ted grinned, "It's the name of our angel."
"Then we should put that name on top of the list," Michael grinned. "I'm an arch angel too."
"I'm a teddy bear," Beetle sniggered.
"You're my Teddy bear," Booster smiled, Beetle smiled back looking into Booster's deep blue eyes. He blinked a few times and blushed again, when he suddenly found Booster leaning in with his eyes closed. Ted closed his own light eyes and found him self desperate to feel Booster's soft lips on-
"Excuse me Booster!" a robotic voice sounded, the two men jumped startled to find Skeets zooming above them. Ted glared at the robot. "Welcome back Mr Beetle! I'm glad you're feeling well. And congratulations on the pregnancy!"
"Thanks Skeets," Beetle muttered, as Booster groaned impatiently.
"Skeets, the Flash was looking for you," Booster said.
"Was he?"
"Yes, now go find him," Booster snapped. Skeets nodded before zooming out of the room. "Damn robot, now where was I?"
"Right about here," Ted said, before leaning in to kiss Booster passionately on his moist lips. Booster groaned as Ted bit his lip gently.
"So are ya preggers?" Vigilante asked, watching Shining Knight as he stood beside Winged Victory rubbing the horse's white mane. Shining Knight only could nod. "And who's the pa?"
The man looked uncomfortable as he continued to stroke his horse, which nuzzled him back, braying softly into his neck. The winged horse could tell Shining Knight was upset.
"Oh God! Please tell me its not-"
"I'm sorry! I didn't wish to hurt you," Sir Justin cried, wrapping his arm around his belly, "but you have to believe me. I never wanted this to happen! If you want nothing to do with me and the baby, I'll understand…"
"What the hell are ya talking about?" Vigilante asked, staring at the other man like he was mad.
"I know you don't like homosexuality," Sir Justin whispered, "so I'll understand if you don't want anything to do with me."
"Okay, Justin, ya lost me back at not wantin' anythin' to do with the baby and you," Vigilante said.
"You just said you do not wish to be the father," Sir Justin said, in a broken voice.
"I didn't say that," Vigilante said, with a raised brow. The cowboy was confused, to say the least. "I was going to say I hope it wasn't the horse."
Winged Victory snorted angrily as Sir Justin paled. "Pregnant by a horse?"
"Scary thought huh," Vigilante said, walking up to the Knight. "So I'm the pa?"
"Yes," Sir Justin said, "I'll understand if you don't want anything to do with me anymore."
"Why won't I want anythin' to do with you anymore?" Vigilante asked.
"Because I'm a homosexual," Sir Justin muttered. Vigilante raised a brow from behind his mask and then laughed.
"Just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you're a homosexual," Vigilante said patting the other man on the shoulder. "I really should not have bought that bloody movie and let you watch it!"
"Which one?"
"Brokeback Mountain," Vigilante said, he looked at Sir Justin and rubbed his shoulder. "It was false advertisement! Wasn't about cowboys at all! Justin, look there aint nothin' wrong with being a homosexual."
"That's what Brad said," Sir Justin said, as he rested his head on Vigilante's shoulder. The other man held him, comforting him.
After several minutes of knocking Don was about ready to give up waiting for Green Arrow to open the door. He turned around to leave and bumped into the man.
"Oh sorry," Don said, awkwardly after yelping loudly like a teenaged girl.
"Its okay kid," Arrow smiled, thumping Don hard across the shoulder, almost knocking him over. "Congratulations. I heard the news, Supergirl told me. So what's up?"
"I need to talk to you," Don muttered, Arrow nodded as he opened his door.
"Come on in, kid," Ollie smiled. Don bobbed his head and slowly walked in and was followed in by the Green Arrow. "So what's wrong?"
"It's about the baby," Don said, quickly decided to just spit it out. Arrow began to close the door, "It's okay, don't close it, I'm gonna leave now. I just needed to tell you that well, it's yours."
The door stopped moving as Arrow looked at Don as though he was mad. "Umm, how the hell did I get you pregnant?"
"I haven't got a clue," Don said, softly. The two men stood quietly for a split second when suddenly the door swung fully open revealing a furious looking Black Canary.
"He's pregnant with your child," Canary asked, growling at Green Arrow. Don swallowed, as she began to scream as loud as she could get without breaking glass. "You slept with him! You cheated on me?"
"I didn't sleep with him," Arrow said calmly. Don couldn't understand how the man remained so composed. He felt ready to wet himself and run screaming, the blonde woman terrified him.
"Oh my God! How else would he have gotten pregnant?" Black Canary growled, glaring at Don as she spoke.
"I don't know!" Arrow snapped, temper finally showing.
"I don't believe you, first you sleep with some one else who nothing other then a teenage delinquent, and then you have the audacity to lie to me!"
"I didn't sleep with him! Why would I sleep with him? He is a kid!" Arrow screeched. Don bit his lip, wondering if he should involve himself. He slowly made his way to the door. He wasn't about to get involved in an argument that included the Black Canary.
"Where the hell do you think your going?" Canary snarled, grabbing Don by the arm. Don's other hand quickly covered his stomach Canary pushed him back into the room. She raised her hand to slap him but before the hand connected with him, Arrow stepped between them and pushed her away from him hard.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Arrow roared harshly, his paternal instincts coming to play. "Stay the hell away from him! And if you can't trust me, or even believe me then there is no point to this fucking relationship."
Canary glared at him, her blue eyes narrowing, before slapping Arrow across the face; hard enough to make his head snapped to the side. She left the room slamming the door behind him. Arrow rubbed his cheek and swore as he turned to face the smaller man. Immediately his skin reddened, the handprint of his ex marring his face.
"I'm so sorry," Don whispered. "I'm such an idiot, I shouldn't have told you. None of this would have happened if I thought before I came here. It's my entire fault."
"No it's not," Arrow said, placing his hand on Don's shoulder. Somehow he wasn't surprised that the younger man was blaming himself. "It's her own fault, if she wants to believe that I cheated on her then fine. But I am not gonna stand around and watch while she hurts you. You've been through enough in the past few days, you don't need her hassling you. Besides, I'm glad you told me about the baby. If you need anything I'll be here. You wont be alone. None of you guys are alone in this, alright."
"Thanks," Don said, softly. "I need to go. I told Hank I'd only be a few minutes."
"I'll walk you back," Arrow said, leading Don out of his room. "Oh and when you go to any appointments with the docs, I would like to be there if its alright with you. Especially the ultrasounds… I'll be there for my child so you don't need to be worried about doing this alone."
"Thanks," Don said, still sounding troubled.
"So are you a week pregnant or…"
"I think since I woke up," Don said.
"What do you want? A girl or a boy?" Arrow asked.
"I don't care, as long as the baby is healthy," Don shrugged.
"Well, I'm gonna call the babe Heshe until the day he comes," Arrow said.
"Heshe?" Don asked, blankly.
"He or she," Arrow explained.
"Uh, okay then…"
Arrow sniggered as the pair continued to walk. Occasionally their hands would bump into one another, but neither man did anything but blush.
