[A/N: So I logged on, on Sunday and guess what? My inbox had a lot of angry and threatening complaints. I guess I forgot to mention, that I won't be updating on the weekends… Opppps! Mail Time - ]
MVictoria994: Thank you! I love drama builds, too
Chalant Lover: I'm so SORRY for making you uncomfortable. Yeah, I PM-ed you and we got to know each other. Of course I forgot to PM you back, so that's why we stopped kind of talking. I apologize again, I'm so sorry Trezha (and yes I know how to say it) but, thanks for the support! :D
firecrackerxx: Oh okay, well you just confused me but I get what you mean now
SpitfireChick: OF COURSE! Back when everyone was hung over on SuperMartian, I was like "Spitfire is really growing on me, and Chalant is also pretty cute…"
silvergirl550: I love when they try to protect each other ;)
Zatanna's POV:
His eyebrows shoot up. "What?" he asks, his voice high-pitched.
"You heard me."
"A-Are you sure?" he asks with a gulp.
"Yeah," I say, biting my lip. "The doctor said that I'm most likely two to three months already."
He sits silently on my bed for a minute, wiping his hands on his pants. I guess they're sweaty. "Three months already?" I nod.
He takes a deep breath. "How can we find out for sure?"
"I need an ultrasound."
"Okay," he pauses, he hasn't looked at me since I told him.
"I already have an appointment for Saturday. So I didn't have to worry about school."
"Alright. I'll be there. You, you want me there, right?" he asks, staring straight ahead. He looks like he might be in shock.
"Of course." A lull in the conversation happens. I fiddle with my pillow and Dick keeps staring silently. "Are you okay, Dick?"
"Yeah…" he says, standing up finally looking at me. "Yeah, I just wasn't expecting this." I nod. I wasn't either. He runs his hand down the back of his head and neck. "And you're sure that this is it? You don't have a problem with eating?"
I shake my head. "No. The doctor said everything was fine," I lie.
"Are you sure?" he asks again.
"Yes, Dick," I say exasperated.
"Okay. Do you want me to stay?" he asks and I shake my head. I just really want to be alone right now, and I tell him this.
He kisses my head. "Alright," he says as he leaves.
Megan's PO V:
Less than an hour after Zatanna left, I get a text from Dick. 'I think we need to have an intervention for Zee. You were right.'
I quickly text him back. 'Come to my house. We'll plan it with everyone. Did Zee tell you?'
'She didn't admit to the eating disorder, but she's pregnant. I can't let her keep doing this to herself.'
'It's not your fault.' I didn't get a text back to that one.
Yes, everyone was at my house. That is, everyone except Conner. So just Wally and Artemis…
"Guys," I call. They were sitting intertwined on the couch, talking about something. They turn and look at me.
"Dick just texted me. Zee told him about the baby."
They nod, almost simultaneously. It's a little weird. "But Dick believes me now. I don't know what she did that convinced him, but he's on his way here. He wants to have an intervention."
"It's good that he got his head out of his ass," Artemis says. Wally smiles and shakes his head.
"It's good that we're doing something," Then he pauses, "when are we going to have this intervention?"
"I don't know," I shrug. "That's why Dick's coming over."
"To plan it?" Wally asks and I nod.
Artemis' POV:
We all expected Dick at the door but instead Barbara was there. "I just got a text from Dick, saying Zatanna's pregnant? What the hell, is with that?" She yells.
"Uh, the fact it's true?" Wally offers. Babs rolled her eyes and replied. "Whatever, I'm just concerned for Dick. She is going to ruin him, with that baby…"
"There's nothing wrong with being a teen mother, Barbie." I say firmly.
"If you say so. Jeez, you'd think that you were pregnant with the way you're acting."
I chuckle nervously and Barbara's eyes widen. "Oh, no…" She says, walking towards me. "Arty…You too?"
I laugh nervously again and she looks at me with disgust. "Oh, my god. What was in the water you were drinking?"
"Cute, Barbara. Really." I sneer.
Finally she turns back to me. She looks disappointed. "Artemis how could you? You have your whole future ahead of you!"
"I know that! It was an accident!"
"You didn't use protection?"
"BARBIE!" I yell, my face tingled pink.
"And you just broke up with Cameron, didn't you?" My face scrunches up and Wally stands to go to my side. "Did you talk to him about this? What are you going to do? Arty, you ruined both of your lives!"
I throw my hands in the hair and run into the kitchen, Wally close on my heels. "You don't have to do this, Artemis," he says. "You don't have to show her."
"Show her what?" Megan asks, with Barbara following close behind. I start cleaning my face. The make-up slowly fades away, and I'm reminded of what he did. What he did to me.
"I don't care if I ruined Cam's life!" I yell, turning around. "Cause he ruined mine when he did this!" I cry out, pointing to the bruises on my once beautiful, pure, and flawless face. Each one an ugly remain of the heartless and cold: Cameron Mahkent.
