Supernova Spoilers
Pregnant Nova Continuation
Nova was nervous. Adrian's family knew, and so did Leroy. Evie knew. Most of their close family members did. But Adrian and Nova decided to wait to tell Ruby, Oscar, and Danna.
Nova and Adrian had asked Kennedy and Oliver when they told their friends and they said that they broke the news shortly before Kennedy would start showing. The only reason Kennedy and Oliver knew was so Nova and Adrian could go to them for advice.
To Adrian and Nova's dismay, while she was only about 21 weeks, and most women start to show at 22 to 24 weeks, Nova was already starting to show.
Her and Adrian decided to be surprised, so only the doctor knows what's going on, but Nova figured that maybe her baby was just big. That's a thing, right?
So they knew it was now or never.
Nova was wearing baggy clothes, to make it less obvious. She noticed that Kennedy was doing that in her early stages.
They walked into the restaurant and immediately saw Danna, Ruby, and Oscar.
Unfortunately, Danna's girlfriend, Olivia, couldn't make it.
Olivia was a wedding planner, and Danna actually met her because Nova and Adrian hired her to plan their wedding. But Olivia had a cake tasting to go to.
Nova and Adrian sat down. Nova was across from Ruby, and Adrian was across from Oscar.
Poor Danna was the fifth wheel.
But she was used to it by now.
They made small talk, and Ruby started talking about Sterling's latest dating adventure. He's not doing very well with women, apparently.
Then, after the dinner, but before desert, Nova and Adrian broke the news.
"We have something to tell you guys," Adrian said.
"You're getting divorced?!" Oscar asked.
"What? No! We've only been married for a year." Nova said.
"Well, Kim Kardashian's first marriage was shorter than that even."
"Oscar, that was like, one hundred years ago." Ruby pointed out.
"I know a lot about pre-Battle of Gatlon celebrities." Oscar stated.
"No. Actually. Adrian and I are..." Nova took a deep breath. "We're expecting a baby."
"Oh. how awkward," Ruby said.
She and Oscar looked at each other. "We don't want to steal your thunder, but we're having a baby, too." She said.
"That's not stealing our thunder! That's great news! Oscar and I can panic together!"
"And we can navigate pregnancy together!" Nova said, her nervousness being replaced with excitement.
"I'm pregnant, too!" Danna exclaimed
The whole table stopped and stared.
"Really? I thought you liked girls?" Adrian said.
'Is there something you need to tell Olivia?" Oscar asked.
"No, I'm not pregnant. I just didn't want to be left out," Danna replied.
"Wait a minute, you only got married a month and half ago, not long after quarantine was lifted, and it takes some time to find out if you're pregnant." Nova said. "I didn't take a test until my symptoms showed up, which took two months."
"So that means..." Adrian started.
"You probably conceived the baby out of wedlock," Nova finished.
"Maybe," Ruby replied.
"Yes," Oscar said at the same time.
"It's nothing to be ashamed of," Nova said.
"No, but you know how old-fashioned my grandma is. She'd freak out," Ruby said, even though people have been having babies out of wedlock since, well, forever. It was no longer a big deal in Gatlon and hasn't been for a hundred years. Some people, though, still treated it as a taboo. Ruby's grandmother was one of them.
"She's gonna find out eventually," Nova said.
"We're hoping that she won't figure it out like you did. She's not very good at math."
"Well, congratulations, either way," Nova said.
"Right back at you!" Ruby exclaimed.
"I can babysit for you guys whenever you need. It will be practice for when I decide to have kids," Danna said.
"I already talked to Kennedy and Oliver. I'll be babysitting their kid, too. Maybe I should just give up being a renegade and open my own daycare. Maybe make up a fun Monarch themed name. What about Monarch's Monkeys?"
"Monkeys?" Adrian asked.
"That name is a bit misleading. They might think it's a zoo. Or a monkey daycare." Ruby said.
"The heck is a monkey daycare? That's not a thing." Danna replied.
Nova knew a thing or two about the black market.
"You'd be surprised," She said.
Adrian looked at her like he wanted to ask a question.
He decided against it.
"Ok, no monkeys. And no daycare. Being a renegade is too fun." Danna said. "But I will watch your kids."
Nova felt the air around her get colder, and looked around.
She spotted Frostbitch.
"Frostbitch," Nova muttered.
"Where?" Ruby asked, looking around. She spotted the woman.
Genissa Clark never returned to the renegades after the second battle.
Instead, she had the half-baked idea to start her own organization, called "The Vigilantes". Nova was pretty sure it was a cult. Gargoyle and Aftershock, who both got their original powers back, too, were the second-in-command there. She had about fifty members. The members were mindless sheep who decided the Renegades weren't good enough or thought the Renegades had too much power.
But they must be stupid. Anyone who follows Genissa Clark must have major problems.
Genissa sat at a table by herself. Nova thought that was weird, until she noticed Magnitude, or Alice, in her civilian form, nearby, having dinner with her latest girlfriend.
Alice and Genissa had history. Back when they were both young teenagers, Alice and Genissa dated. Both were openly lesbian, and since at that time, many of the other gay renegades weren't out or were still exploring their sexualities, Alice and Genissa found some kind of chemistry between each other.
Nova loved Alice. Alice was badass, cool, and had a really cool power. But she seriously questioned Alice's choice to ever start a relationship with Genissa.
Anyway, the relationship didn't end well. Alice finally realized that Genissa was cold-hearted and crazy, and promptly broke up with her.
But Genissa didn't see it that way. She believed Alice still belonged with her and was very possessive and jealous. She didn't like the fact that she couldn't have Alice, and if she couldn't have Alice, no one could.
"Oh no," Adrian muttered. "She's going to ruin Alice's date."
Genissa was looking at the pair, waiting for a good time to intervene.
"I'm gonna do something stupid," Oscar announced.
Oscar winked at Adrian, and both men stood up.
"You think it's ok to steal my thunder?" Adrian yelled.
"Oh, great skies," Nova muttered. Adrian and Oscar were going to create a scene to distract everyone so Genissa couldn't ruin the date.
"Nova announces she's pregnant, and so you had to! Just to spite me! I bet Ruby isn't even pregnant!"
"How dare you!" Oscar yelled, glancing to the side, where Alice and her girlfriend were staring at the two.
The whole restaurant was watching.
Nova hung her head in shame, Ruby was calmly continuing to eat, and Danna was trying not to laugh.
"Ruby is pregnant! And in a month, when she starts to show, I'll be able to prove it!"
"Sirs," A waitress said. 'Can I ask..."
"But you didn't have to steal my spotlight like that!" Adrian yelled.
Just to reiterate, Adrian wasn't mad, and neither was Oscar. This was all for Alice.
Ruby got up when she noticed that Genissa was quietly laughing.
"You always have the spotlight, Mr. Golden Boy! You're a team leader, for crying out loud! And your power sucks!"
Nova watched Ruby, who was walking towards Alice's table.
Alice didn't notice, she was too invested in the fight.
*A Couple Minutes Before, Ruby's POV*
Genissa was a bitch. Ruby wasn't about t watch her ruin an innocent girl's date with Alice.
Ruby texted Oscar. I have a plan. You and Adrian need to provide a distraction.
He looked at his phone and him and Adrian, who had a strong bromance, managed to have a conversation with just their eyes.
"I have a plan," Oscar announced.
Adrian and Oscar stood up and started to scream at each other.
Ruby wanted to finish er fries, so she ate her remaining fries, and when she decided that everyone was invested enough in Oscar and Adrian's "fight", she got up.
She noticed Nova watching her.
She made her way to Alice's table. Alice didn't notice, but Alice's date did. She stopped at their table.
Alice was now looking at Ruby.
She knelt down and whispered something to the woman.
Alice looked at Genissa, shock and anger on her face.
Alice's date rolled her eyes, almost like they have had this happen before.
And they probably had. After the second battle, Genissa kind of... snapped.
Ruby came back to the table.
"Bro, I am so sorry," Oscar said immediately.
"Me too, bro." Adrian said.
"I didn't mean it. I'm sure Ruby is super pregnant."
"I didn't mean it, either. Your power doesn't suck."
The two men hugged each other.
Alice and her date got up to leave. As Alice passed Genissa's table, she threw her drink on Genissa and walked out.
"I would like one outing where something super weird doesn't happen. Is that too much to ask?" Danna asked.
"With us? Yes," Nova answered.
"Well, we're both pregnant. Great. I'm tired. Let's go home," Ruby said.
"Good idea. Watching that exhausted me," Nova said.
The gang walked out of the establishment, confused customers watching as they walked out the door.
I'm gonna be completely honest with you, I didn't really know where to go with this, which is why I added that part with Genissa.
I just wanted to get this chapter out to you guys, and I wanted it to be more than the title suggests.
I know it was completely random and I basically got the idea to include Genissa (I just really wanted an excuse to call her Frostbitch), and I ran with it.
So I apologize if it sucks.
