Selina stood there staring at Bruce like a Rabbit caught in a trap. He stared at her stomach and tried to make out what he was seeing. His normally fast working mind seemed to be dragging. When he was finally able to process what he was seeing he looked up into her eyes. They were wide and full of fear. He had never seen her look so afraid.
"Selina… oh my god."
He knew it was going to happen before it did. He had gotten very good at reading her. She darted for the open patio, desperate to escape. Luckily he had also gotten very good at keeping up with her. He leapt over his desk and caught ahold of her wrist before she could jump off the balcony.
"Let go of me!" she snarled.
"No. What's going on?"
"You act like you've never seen a pregnant girl before. Maybe you should read more books." Selina smirked.
"Enough jokes Selina. Who's the father?"
"Not you. Just some guy I met in the Narrows who I was doing business with."
She shrugged it off but Bruce shook his head and frowned. "You've lied to me enough in the past for me to know the difference now. I don't know too much about fetus growth but based on how big you are I'd say you are at least six months along. Am I wrong?"
Selina pressed her lips together. "No."
"Am I the father Selina?"
He watched as the defiance faded from her eyes. "Yes."
Bruce let out a breath he hadn't known he'd been holding. When he released her wrist she slumped back against the wall. Bruce felt light headed and moved to sit on the couch. He placed his head in his hands and took a deep breath. After a moment he felt Selina sit down beside him.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I was afraid."
"Of what?" he asked, sitting up. "Of what I would do? Selina, you don't need to be afraid of me."
She rolled her eyes. "I'm not afraid of you nerd. It's just… you're going off to Princeton in two months. Hell, you were still in High school four months ago when I found out. You're a billionaire who will have to star running his company soon and I knew you didn't need this kind of stress right now."
"Selina, I can handle it. This is my child. Our child. I'm here for you. We will be perfectly fine."
"You don't even have to worry about it Bruce. I'm taking care of everything."
Bruce frowned, not understanding. "What do you mean? Of course you don't have to take care of anything. I will handle all of the financials."
"You don't have to. Someone else already is."
"What? Who?"
"The couple who are going to be her parents."
Bruce felt the blood drain from his face. He quickly stood up. "What? What are you talking about? You aren't going to give my baby away! How could you even think that without talking to me about it? Have you lost your mind?" He shouted.
"I thought this was what you would want! This is the only thing that makes sense! We are teenagers and we have no clue how to be parents!" Selina had stood up and was now yelling just as loudly back at Bruce.
"I can take care of us!"
"God damn it Bruce, being a parent isn't about the money! It's about being there for your child all the time. It's about giving up everything you had planned and dreamed of for them. You're going to college, you are going to run a billion dollar company, and you have no time for a baby! And God knows I don't know how to be a mother. This is what's best for her."
Bruce stared at Selina. "Her?"
Selina took a deep breath. "Yes. She's a girl."
"You are not giving my daughter away." Bruce said, trying to sound as final as he could.
"Bruce, why can't you see that this is for the best? Neither of us can be parents right now. I have enemies. They will use her against me."
"I can protect you."
Selina laughed. "How are you going to do that? Hire a security team to follow me around twenty four seven?"
"If I have too."
"I'll pass." Selina made to leave but Bruce quickly stepped in front of her.
"If you don't love me that's fine. But you will not take my daughter away from me."
"Bruce, you're just a kid."
"Don't patronize me. You and I both know neither of us have been kids for quite a while. I'm old enough to know what I want, and even though an hour ago I didn't even know about this baby, I know that I want her."
"God! This is exactly why I left in the first place! I knew you would do this and try to change my mind. We cannot be parents! Neither of even know how, it's been so long since we had any ourselves! All I know how to do is survive, and that isn't good enough for her. She deserves more."
"I will give her everything! I won't go to Princeton, I can run Wayne Enterprises from here in Gotham. I will be her father and I want you to be here as her mother! Like I said, if you don't love me-"
"Stop! Stop saying I don't love you because I do!" Selina shouted. "I'm doing this because I love you. Because just like her, you deserve more. You deserve to drive around in your fancy cars and go to college. You deserve to be young and go out and experience the world! You deserve to live out your dreams and you deserve to fall in love with someone who isn't damaged! I will not take that away from you!"
"Selina, you aren't taking anything from me! I chose to have sex with you in that car. You didn't force me. This is what I've wanted ever since I first told you I loved you! Maybe I thought it would happen ten years from now, but that doesn't matter. We are keeping this baby."
"Ugh!" Selina cried, throwing her hands into the air. "Why do you have to be so stubborn?"
"Because you would have gotten bored years ago if I wasn't."
"What in the bloody hell is going on in here! Who is yelling so loudly?" Alfred asked as he opened the door in his robe. He stopped when he saw Selina and Bruce standing in the middle of the room.
"Ah, Miss Selina, you've finally come back. See Bruce, I told you she would. Now what is going on here?"
Bruce's eyes darted down to Selina's stomach, which Alfred followed.
He took a deep breath. "Ah, I see."
