"I'm okay, really." Robin insisted as Superboy carried him to the infirmary.
"You fainted." The clone stated simply.
"Yeah, but I feel better now! So put me down!" Robin yelled.
"No."
"What's this?" Asked Black Canary, who met them in the Mountain's large medical bay.
"He was in the garage with me, and he fainted." Super boy said, depositing his young teammate on a bed.
"It's no big deal." Robin complained.
"It certainly is a big deal. Has anything like this happened before? You didn't hurt yourself when you fainted, did you?" Dinah demanded.
"No, I caught him before he fell."
"Good." Black Canary told them. "That's good. Can you feel the baby moving?" She asked, slipping her hands under Robin's shirt to feel his stomach.
"Not really." Robin admitted. "But he's not very active most of the time anyway."
"Either way, we'll do an ultrasound just to be safe." Black Canary told him. "What have you eaten today?" She asked. Robin merely blushed in response. "We talked about this." Dinah sighed.
"I know, but the morning sickness never really quit and…I don't really have an appetite." Robin defended himself.
"I know sweetie, but you can't skip eating. You need more food, not less." She told him. Having a hunch that his fainting was due to his blood sugar, she dug in a cabinet for a testing strip.
"It sucks though." He whined. "I hate throwing up."
Dinah sighed and tried to remind herself he was only fourteen. Five months pregnant and only fourteen. She checked his blood sugar which was predictably low and sent Superboy to get some juice and crackers for the dark haired boy.
"I'm sorry Dinah." Robin whispered. He was laying back on a partially reclined hospital bed, looking fragile and tiny. A little broken bird, a little Robin with damaged wings.
"It's going to be okay." Dinah promised.
"So, wait. I can't keep up. How much longer until you pop?" Artemis asked, waving a hand in Kaldur's direction. The heavily pregnant teen sat down on the couch a little awkwardly before replying.
"I am due in…three weeks?" He said, looking over at Roy for confirmation.
"Three." Roy agreed.
"Which means you're due in five." Artemis said, looking over at Wally who was seated next to her with a bowl of popcorn in his lap. "What about you?" She looked at Robin who was curled up in a recliner.
"Um…let me think. I'm two months behind Kal and you're…?"
"Thirty-five weeks."
"So I'm twenty-seven weeks which is…like, almost seven months." Robin concluded.
"That's so exciting." M'gann gushed from her place on the floor. She was cuddled up by Connor's side, giving him a dreamy look.
"Babies." Connor scoffed, wiping the look right off M'gann's face.
"I don't think they're that bad." Said Roy, who was sitting at Kaldur's feet. He reached up to gently rub Kaldur's stomach. The Atlantean took Roy's hands and moved it to a spot low on his stomach where the baby's foot was pressed hard against his stomach.
"Four babies." Artemis complained as their movie began. "What are we going to do with four babies?"
"Three." Said a tiny voice. Everyone turned to look at Robin. "He's being adopted by a family in Gotham. It'll be better for him than staying with me."
"I'm sorry Robin, I didn't know." Artemis apologized.
"It's okay." He promised. "So, Wally, did you ever find out what you're having?" He tried to change the subject.
"One girl and one boy." He beamed. "What about you Kaldur?"
"Dinah offered to tell us, but I wanted it to be a surprise. Roy, however, could not bear the suspense." Kaldur teased.
"You know?" M'gann insisted. Roy smiled wickedly.
"He KNOWS!" Yelled Artemis.
"I'll tell you later." He promised.
"Are we going to watch a movie or what?" Complained Wally.
"We'll talk later." Artemis told Roy with a wink.
"They're so cute." Artemis whispered. Wally had moved halfway through their movie to sit with Robin and the two were now cuddling in the recliner, fast asleep.
"Should I take them to bed?" Connor asked.
"No, they're so adorable." M'gann protested.
"And they will wake up quite sore if they sleep like that." Kaldur said.
"Let's get them to bed then." Roy agreed. He stood and went to lift Robin gently from the recliner. "Can you grab Wally?" He asked Connor.
"Sure thing." Conner replied. He scooped up the redhead, who murmured sleepily.
"I can't believe Robin is giving up the baby." M'gann said as she moved from the floor to the couch.
"I don't know." Artemis said. "He's really young."
"That he is." Added Kaldur. "I do not know much about his secret identity. I have gathered that Batman is the only family he has. Keeping the child may not be in any way practical."
"That sucks." Artemis said bluntly.
"I am sure the decision was not easy, but if he feels it is best for him then I support it." Kaldur told the blond.
"So, what are we talking about?" Roy asked as he re-entered the room.
"How you know what the baby is and didn't say anything." Artemis teased.
"You didn't ask." The redhead pointed out.
"Kaldur, how are you supposed to know what color of clothes to get and stuff if you don't know if it's a boy or girl?" M'gann questioned.
"Oh my God!" Artemis exclaimed before Kaldur could answer. "We have to have a baby shower."
"No, we really do not need to do that." Roy argued quickly.
"What's a baby shower?" M'gann asked.
"Something we're not having." Roy interjected.
"It is a party to celebrate a soon-to-be born baby." Kaldur explained.
"Well then we have too!" M'gann giggled.
"Roy is right, it is really not necessary. Perhaps Wally would enjoy it though?" Kaldur suggested.
"No, you're both having one." M'gann decided. "We'll find out when Robin will be out of the cave so we don't upset him."
"I agree. There will be a baby shower and it will be great." Artemis declared. Kaldur sighed loudly.
