Chapter 7: Love or Hate?
Zatanna has had mixed feelings over the last few months. She knows that when this baby comes Dick will be overjoyed, but with her she doesn't know if it was worth it having to throw her guts up all morning and then almost act like Wally when she eats, yet. She's really starting to get nervous when she finally hears what Artemis had to go through with her child, but, like always, Dick's there to calm her down and help her get through with all of it.
Like any other normal day Zatanna wakes up to the feeling of throwing up and lunges out of bed to get to the bathroom. Dick, of course, is the one that gets up instantly to hold her hair and rub her back. She can't explain how grateful she is that Dick is there to help her. Dick leaves the room once she's done throwing her guts up so she can rinse out her mouth and get cleaned up.
She can't wait till the day comes that she won't have to wake up to the feeling of puking up everywhere. She also thinks that Dick will be grateful that he won't have to watch her throw up, but in Dick's opinion, he doesn't mind helping his wife with whatever she need, including hold her hair and rubbing her back while she's trying to survive her own throw up.
Zatanna walks out of the bathroom refreshed, since she washed up, and walks over into the kitchen. Dick, of course who else, was making blueberry pancakes, her favorite. Zatanna sits down at the kitchen table and let's out a sigh. Dick smiles as he glimpses back at Zatanna. She looks so beautiful in his opinion, but in hers, she just looks worse after all the throwing up and not getting enough sleep, getting soar feet all the time, getting light headed and she could go on forever. Dick knows what she's thinking. Why wouldn't he? He sets down a plate of blueberry pancakes in front of Zatanna and another plate in the seat he sits down at.
Zatanna smiles at Dick before cutting the pancakes and then devouring the bite. Dick just watches her eat and just smiles not even touching his own plate.
"What?" Zatanna asks frowning. She can't help but wonder how he feels about all of this. Having to take care of her, cleaning the house, even thought it is never that dirty, and how he actually had to learn how to cook so she wouldn't be over near a dangerous, hot stove.
Dick sighed, "You just look beautiful." He says smiling. She doesn't smile back, in fact she puts down her fork and literally glares at him.
"That's the last word I'd describe myself to be," She said looking at her unfinished pancakes. Dick frowns at her words. He doesn't think that at all, but then again he isn't the one having to go through all of this. Of course he never will but he can't help but imagine what pain she's been going through all along.
Zatanna quickly, but quietly, finishes her breakfast then gets up and walks to the bedroom. She quickly changes her clothes and grabs her purse. Dick gets up and grabs his wallet from the counter and the keys to the car. Zatanna had an appointment today to find out the gender of the baby. Dick, of course, couldn't be more overwhelmed when they find out that the baby is a girl.
Zatanna and Dick get home shortly after noon. Zatanna get's picked up by M'gann to go to the store and finally be able to pick out some clothes and paint to paint the baby's room.
Zatanna doesn't go for the pink. It's just not her favorite and she doesn't want it to be a traditional color like pink for girls and blue for boys but doesn't want a neutral color either. Zatanna scans down the isle but then comes to a sudden stop at this one color. She picks up the piece of card stock with the color printed on it and looks at the name. Breath-Taking Mint.
No kidding. She thinks as she admires the color. That's definitely the color she want's. M'gann looks at the color and agrees with Zatanna. The color is perfect. On their way to the check-out Zatanna picks out a few more essentials including some glow in the dark stars and a moon, a can of white paint, white and mint colored curtains which also had the mint parts shaped as stars, ironic right?, and finally a paper mache bird, which looks like a robin, a magic wand, a few stars and a few feathers. None of the paper mache object came together in a package but Zatanna still bought them no matter what the cost was.
Zatanna got home at three in the afternoon and noticed Dick waiting patiently for her. He helped her carry the paint into the kitchen and watched Zatanna pull out everything and show him what she was going to do with it. Dick was surprised by this figuring the conversation they had last night befor they went to bed.
"Dick," Zatanna said quietly,"I'm not too sure if I'm happy about having this baby or if I'm sad about it all."
Dick was shocked at what she had just say. Happy? Sad? It didn't make any sense.
"Zee," Dick said as he slipped his hand over her stomach which had a small baby bump. "You should be happy, You will make a wonderful mother and I will help you with everything you need help with." Dick's smile warmed her heart and made her think twice about it.
Zatanna let out a sigh which was also mixed with laughter. She hugged him while he hugged her back and fell asleep together in that position.
Dick sighed and kissed Zatanna on the forehead while she was talking. She laughed and they went to the couch and watched a happy family movie and later watched even more movies. Zatanna was now happy about their, now to be known, daughter, which made Dick happy as well. He couldn't wait to see his daughter for the first time.
How'd you like it? Cheesy? Well I hope not :). I will update new chapters as much as I can, but with my acting, piano playing, school and more I hope that I'll be able to find time to write :) Thanks!
