Just a quick note before we get started, I use the name Jennifer as Jinx's fake name Quake gave his parents, just so we're clear in case anyone gets confused in the story.

Chapter 13 - The Choices We Make

-A few weeks after the events of chapter 12-

Jinx POV

I woke up to sunlight creeping onto my eyes and I found the bed moving up and down. I found myself in Quakes bed, lying on top of him. I was worried at first until I remembered what we did and I blushed madly. The last few weeks has been the best time of my life. The Titans let me be an honorary member after I proved myself enough, including catching the H.I.V.E. 5 during a robbery attempt. Needless to say they were quite surprised at this. Quake and I have been getting to know each other as well. We went out on more dates and each one ended with us making out on his couch. It never got any more serious than that until last night. Last night our make out session ended with us in his bedroom still making out. We couldn't control ourselves anymore and he started to peel me out of my dress and I peeled him out of his clothes. We let what happened next just sort of...happen.

I started to get up and my movements must have woken him up. "Good morning beautiful."

"Morning Quake. Last night was great."

"It was wasn't it. You were great too." I blushed when he said this.

"You don't have to get up right now do you? You can't spend some more time in bed?"

"I suppose I could," was my reply. He rolled over to his side and I moved my back into his body and his arm draped around me. I fell back into the best sleep I ever had.

-A week later-

Today was the same as every other day. He liked the fact that I kept my hair down all the time so I kept it that way, and today was no different. There was a call coming in about a robbery and hostage situation over at the bank. He asked me if I wanted to go with him but I declined. I had just woken up and needed something to eat first. He gave me a quick kiss on the lips and headed out. I fixed myself some toast with a glass of milk. (I was lucky that the toaster didn't explode) I watched some TV and ate. When I finished I put the dishes in the sink. I continued to watch the television and the only thing on was some women's talk show. My stomach wasn't sitting right, he's really gotta check the expiration date on his milk. I ran to the bathroom and started throwing up. I finished and returned to the living room when a thought hit me. It had been over a month since...no I couldn't be. But some of the signs of it are nausea and vomiting. I had to be sure. I picked up a jacket and headed out. I stopped at a nearby drug store and picked up the one and only item I needed. A pregnancy test.

I hurried back to our home as fast as I could, knowing Quake it wouldn't take him long to stop the incident at the bank. I got home, but Quake wasn't home. But I knew he wouldn't be far behind. I had to make it quick. I read the instructions on the test and used it. It was the longest 5 minutes of my life. To pass the time (and to keep my mind off of it) I watched TV when a breaking news report came in. It showed a person walking out of the bank holding Quake hostage with a gun pointed to his head. The reporter told the camera that Quake had subdued the other 4 hostage takers, but a fifth one still remained. And how just moments before all the hostages walked out of the building unharmed. I was so worried about him, but just then Quakes head shot backwards hitting the hostage taker in the face, got out of his grip and the nearest police officer used his taser on the man. The man fell and the police quickly subdued him.

The reporter came over to Quake and asked him how he did it. He said he quickly subdued the criminals he could as quiet as he could and get them out to the police. He then turned his attention towards the main hostage taker and told him that the man would have more leverage with Quake as a hostage then all of the hostages combined. The man thought he was right so he let them go. Then the rest is what we saw outside the bank. He also said that he told his plan to the nearby officers so that they'd be ready. The last thing he said to them was that he had to head out and he flew away. Just then I received a text on my phone he bought me. 'I know you're watching the news story Jinx. It'd be hard not to when it was a breaking story. Just have a few errands to run and then I'm going to see Tracy for lunch. Be back around 1:30pm-2:00pm. Love you baby.' He wanted to make sure I wouldn't worry about him...wait baby? That's right the pregnancy test. It should be done by now. I went to the bathroom, dreading the results of it.

Quakes POV

It was about 12:45pm when I got home, as soon as I walked up the stairs I knew something wasn't right. I opened the door and stepped inside. Everything was in its place, but someone was missing. Where was Jinx? I looked around our apartment in Jump City when I found her in our bedroom, her arms wrapped around herself and she was crying. I walked over to her slowly, hoping not to startle her.

"Jinx, are you alright?" I asked her.

Her only response was to cry more and tighten her arms around her stomach. I walked over to the bed and sat down beside her and put my right arm around her shoulders. She leaned into my chest and I, with my other hand, grabbed her by her waist and placed her on my lap. She was still crying into my chest and I knew something was up with her. She hasn't cried like this since after I broke her out of the police van that was escorting her to jail and I confessed my love to her. I had to find out what was wrong with her.

"Jinx will you please tell me what's wrong?"

"You'll leave me if I do."

"What, no. No I won't. I didn't leave you even after you set that trap for me, I didn't leave you after Rouge tortured me, I didn't leave you when I was impaled with that piece of metal, and I didn't leave you after Robin attacked us. And I know that I won't leave you now, no matter what."

"This is different, I know you'll leave me when I tell you."

"Jinx, I was afraid to show you my face after every girl before kept repeatedly saying I didn't look good. I thought that if I showed you my face that you'd leave me." I told her. "But you did the exact opposite of what I thought you'd do. You told me that you thought I was handsome. I was so happy at that, and I showed you how much I appreciated that with the kiss we shared. I trusted you then," I said taking her hands in mine and holding our hands near our chests, "and I need you to trust me now."

That was all she needed to hear. "OK."

She pulled out a little stick looking item from her left side, and I knew what it was right away.

"That's a pregnancy test isn't it Jinx."

She nodded and said, "I bought it this morning and used it, it-it says..." She couldn't say it, she needed some courage. I brought her face up to mine and pulled her into a kiss.

After about half a minute I pulled back and said, "Take your time Jinx. I can wait until you're ready."

She continued her line of thought, as though she wanted to get it off her chest. "It-it says...it says positive. I-I'm pregnant Nicholas."

This was the first time she used my real name since...wait this was the first time she used my real name. It made me happy that she finally used my first name, but that had to wait for now.

"Y-your pregnant? I-I'm going to be a-a father?"

"Yes," she replied, her head hanging down expecting me to leave her forever. Instead I pulled her into a deep kiss, which surprised her.

"Sweetheart I couldn't be happier."

"Y-you say that now but what if the baby is cursed...like me."

"You aren't cursed Jinx. If you were, you wouldn't have me or this child to worry about. You have friends that like you, and as far as Tracy is concerned you're like family to her, and you have a boyfriend that loves you. You're as far from cursed as you can get. And if our child does have powers like us, I'll still love them no matter what."

She nuzzled into my chest and neck and said, "You forgot something though".

"Oh," I said.

"Yeah, you forgot to mention that I have the best boyfriend in the world."

I chuckled when she said this and said, "I was trying to be modest, but since you said it I guess I am."

She pulled away from me and she had a look of fear in her eyes. She said, "What if our child doesn't like me? What if they see me as nothing more than a freak?" She couldn't be thinking about that now could she?

"Hey I know that our child will love you no matter what, and so will I." She nodded and I knew that all her worries had disappeared.

"Now that that's all settled, I've got an announcement. We're going to supper with Tracy and she's managed to convince my parents to join us. I guess you finally get to meet the rest of my family."

At about 5:50 we headed out in his car and went to supper with Tracy and my parents. God I knew that this was going to be a disaster. But maybe, my parents might have moved on from the incident, but I wasn't holding my breath. At 6:25 we showed up at the restaurant, 5 minutes early. Jinx wore a purple dress I got her while out doing my errands and I wore a simple yet formal brown shirt and black pants. We entered the restaurant and we saw my family had sat down already. We walked over to them and took a seat.

My father was the first to speak up, "Nicholas, I didn't know that you'd be bringing a date."

"Yeah, she's my girlfriend. Mom, Dad, this is Ji-Jennifer. Jennifer, these are my parents Laura and Frank."

"It's nice to meet you Jennifer," my mom said.

"It's nice to meet you too." Jennifer replied.

We talked throughout the dinner and I was surprised at how civil they were being towards me. It might have been because Jinx was here with me, but they might have gotten over me being a meta-human. I decided I would ask them after dinner was over. They kept asking Jinx questions about her and me as a couple, and Jinx told them the truth about what happened. They were shocked to say the least, including Tracy. After all she never knew how bad it was for me. Jinx even included how I made her fall for me.

I was surprised when they said, "We're proud of you son. You've done a fine job as a hero, and we're really proud of you."

"Y-you mean that?"

"Yes we do," my Mom said, "and we're sorry that we abandoned you when you needed us. We, we were just looking out for your sisters well being. We wanted to make sure you wouldn't hurt her by accident."

I was silent for a while, absorbing what she just said. Finally I spoke up, "I understand why you did it. And you do have a valid point, I might have hurt Tracy by accident." At that point our dinner arrived and we ate. After dinner I decided it was the best time to tell them about Jinx and our child.

I looked at her and was about to ask her if I should tell them or not, and she nodded in agreement.

So I spoke up to my parents, "Mom, Dad, Tracy, I have something else I need to tell you. And both of us just found out about this today, but...we're, or rather Jennifer's...pregnant."

Nobody said anything for a good 5 minutes until Tracy said, "Oh my god, congratulations you two. I'm so happy," she said in tears. My parents said nothing, but they both had big smiles on their faces. I knew that they were happy for me. I had one more surprise for everyone, including Jinx.

"Jennifer, you're the most amazing woman I've ever met. And I would be honored if I could spend the rest of my life with you." I got out of my seat, dropped down onto one knee and pulled out a small velvet box. Everyone at the table's eyes were in shock.

"Jennifer, will you marry me?" I asked her and opened the box revealing a beautiful ring. She put her hands to her mouth in shock.

"Yes, yes I will." she got out of her chair and hugged me tightly.

We all left the restaurant together, I hugged my parents and we went our separate ways. Jinx and I went back to our apartment and we walked in. I thought it would be appropriate to pick her up bridal style and carried her to our bedroom.

There was no complaint from her, and I said, "Ready to go to bed, Mrs. Mills?" "I might need to get used to that still, but I still like it." I placed her on our bed and we quickly fell asleep in each others arms.

And that's chapter 13 for everyone, hope you enjoy it.
