"Baby, we need to call Dinah." Roy insisted as he rubbed Kaldur's back gently. The dark skinned boy was leaning over the toilet, retching, nothing left in his stomach to vomit up after twenty minutes in the bathroom.
"I am alright." Kaldur insisted, reaching down to cradle his abdomen.
"Kal, this isn't normal." Roy tried to reason with his lover. "You haven't gotten sick in months, and it was never so bad anyway."
"Perhaps I ate something that disagreed with the child." Kaldur shrugged. "Help me up?" He offered a hand.
"And how do you explain away the back pain?" Roy argued as he helped the other man to his feet. Kaldur shuffle dover to the sink to rinse his mouth while Roy flushed away the mess.
"Your child is quite large." Kaldur teased. "Soreness does not seem a major concern."
"Babe, I just have a feeling." Roy insisted.
"Oh!" Kaldur suddenly gripped the counter hard.
"What's wrong?" Roy rushed forward to place a steadying hand on his hip.
"It is nothing, the baby flipped over very suddenly. It was…unexpected." Kaldur let out a shaky breath.
"Are you sure that you're okay?" Roy asked, clearly distressed.
"Yes, the child is just shifting about." Kaldur insisted, pushing himself off the counter. "Come lay with me."
"I really think…."
"Roy, come rub my back for me." Kaldur whined as he climbed back into the bed. "I am fine, only sore from carrying."
"If you're sure love." Roy joined Kaldur in the bed, gently pulling the blonde man over to straddle his lap. Kaldur settled gently against Roy's chest, adjusting his hips over the redhead's crossed legs.
"May I have a kiss?" Kaldur whispered as he pressed his lips gently to Roy's.
"Love you." Roy whispered. He reached around Kaldur's body to press his fingertips into his lower back. He massaged gently as Kaldur rested his head on his boyfriend's broad chest.
"Mmmh." Kaldur made contented little noises against Roy for nearly twenty minutes. Finally, almost asleep, he shifted his hips forward to put his full weight on the redhead's chest. A sudden rush of wetness had him opening his eyes wide and then letting out a long sigh.
"Love?" Roy chuckled softly. "Did your water just break?"
"Now you may call Dinah." Kaldur conceded. Roy chuckled again, leaning forward to kiss the top of the blonde's head.
"I'll make the call, go change." Roy helped Kaldur out of the bed and reached for his phone while both of them stripped off their now wet sweats.
Wally jolted awake suddenly. Looking over at the bassinets he saw the twins still sleeping peacefully and frowned in confusion.
"Wally?" He heard a soft call through his door.
"Coming!" He called back, climbing out of the bed and shuffling over to the door. Outside stood Robin, no, he had no mask or uniform, this was Dick standing outside his door.
"I…uh…" Dick stuttered. He was staring at the floor, blushing furiously.
"What Dick? Are you okay?" Wally asked gently. He reached out a hand to feel the other's large pregnant stomach.
"I…wet the bed again." The younger boy admitted, tears welling in his eyes.
"Oh, okay. Come in." Wally stepped out of the way for Dick to enter.
"I'm sorry." Dick whimpered.
"It's okay." Wally sighed. "Come lay down."
"I'm sorry." Dick repeated again without moving. The tears were flowing now and Wally sighed internally.
"It's okay" He repeated. "It's not your fault, it's just because you're pregnant. It happens to a lot of people." He assured Dick, repeating basically everything Dinah had said to calm him down the first time this had happened a few weeks earlier.
"I know." Dick whispered.
"Come in and lay down. You're supposed to be on bed rest, if Dinah finds out I was chatting you up in a hallway at two in the morning we're both dead." Wally chuckled. Dick smiled, almost imperceptibly, and followed Wally into the bedroom.
