With Caitlin and Jaime

"Come on Jaime." Caitlin said as she dragged her boyfriend to his front door of his house.

"No way! There is no way I'm doing this chica!"

"They're going to have to find out sometime, Jaime!"

"But-"

"Jaime Reyes, you are telling them RIGHT NOW!" she snapped.

"Caitlin-"

Caitlin suddenly started crying. "It's like you're not happy enough to tell your parents that I'm pregnant!"

Jaime instantly felt bad, and wrapped her into a hug. "Alright, alright!" he said quickly, "If it makes you feel better, I'll even tell them about the whole Blue Beetle thing!"

"Great! Now get your butt in there!" Caitlin said pulling away from the hug and dragging him towards the door. Jaime sighed and opened the door, and walked in.

"Momma! Dad! I'm home!" Jaime called. They then heard footsteps and saw Mary Reyes appear.

"Hola Caitlin. How are you?" She asked with a smile.

"I'm fine." Caitlin said.

"Mom I need you to sit down in the living room with dad. I need to tell you guys something." Jaime said in a serious tone. His mother nodded and walked into the living room. Jaime and Caitlin followed her and saw Jaime's father and Monica playing checkers. Monica looked up and smiled.

"Big brother!"

"Hey Monica." Jaime said as he picked her up and brought her into a hug. He then put her down and sat down in the love seat with Caitlin.

"First things first." Jaime sighed, fidgeting nervously. "I'm Blue Beetle."

Monica giggled. "We already know, silly!"

Jaime looked at his little sister with a mixture of relief and disbelief. "W-what?"

Mary and Carlos both smiled. "Well, Jaime, we are your parents. It isn't difficult to figure out when you're hiding something."

"And you begin acting strange around the same time Blue Beetle shows up?" Mary added, looking amused.

"Oh..." Jaime blushed.

"Now, what else is going on?" Carlos asked.

Jaime then took a deep breath and took Caitlin's hand.

"Come on Jaime. Tell them." Caitlin said with a smile.

"Tell us what?" Carlos asked.

"Mom, dad I don't know how to say this but I'm just going to say it. Caitlin is pregnant with my kid." Jaime said as he looked at his parents.

"Yay! Big brother is a daddy!" Monica said as she giggled.

Carlos and Mary gaped at Jaime. "I'm sorry, what?" Mary sputtered, her eyes wide. "I could have sworn I heard you say-"

"It's true," Caitlin cut in softly. "We- everyone, really- were so emotional and... distraught after a friend of ours died... we all needed comfort. And it sort of just... happened."

Carlos smiled weakly at Jaime. "Nice going, son. Couldn't have gotten your mother before we were twenty-two."

"Papa..." He groaned.

"Carlos! Really? This is what you say when our 17 year old son says that his girlfriend is pregnant with his child." Mary said sounding upset.

"I'm sorry Mary." Carlos sad as he picked Monica up.

"I'm sorry mom, but it's just how Caitlin said. It just sort of happened. We both weren't thinking at all." Jaime explained. Mary sighed and smiled.

"It's alright Jaime. I'm very happy for both of you." Mary said with a smile.

Caitlin and Jaime both breathed sighs of relief.

"Oh yeah, and you should know I'm Shadow, from Gotham." Caitlin added with a small smile.

Monica jumped onto her big brother's lap. "Jaime, tell me a story." she demanded. "About your adventures. Caitlin HAS to be in it, too." Jaime turned to Caitlin.

"There's to much. I have no idea which one to tell." Jaime said. Monica crossed her arms and pouted.

"I want a story." She demanded.

"Here I'll take care of this." Caitlin said as she picked Monica up.

"Watch your stomach."

"For the last time the baby isn't developed yet! Nothing is going to happen." Caitlin said as she walked towards the stairs and walked upstairs to Monica's room.

"Yay! I get a story!" She said in a happy voice. Once Caitlin was gone upstairs, Jaime turned to his parents.

"Are you really happy for me and Cay, mom?" Mary looked at her son and smiled.

"Honestly I'm disappointed in you. I raised you better than that. But I am happy for you honey." Mary said.

"And besides," Carlos added, "You'll be punished enough through these nine months."

Jaime groaned. "Don't remind me..."

Mary smiled, bringing her son into a hug.

Upstairs with Caitlin and Monica

"Alright Monica what kind of story do you want?" Caitlin asked as she sat on Monica's bed as the young girl lied in her bed, with her pajamas on.

"I want to her a story on one of your adventures!" Monica said as she threw her arms up in excitement.

"Alright let's see..." Caitlin then began to think. Then she got the perfect story.

"Alright this story is about when your brother defeated the Joker." Caitlin said as she sat criss-cross on the end of Monica's bed. Monica's eyes got all wide and sat up.

"Now, we- our team and us- were assigned a mission to take down the Joker in he bad city of Gotham." Caitlin began.

"Who was on the team?"

"Well... It was me, Blue Beetle, my little sister, Phoenix; Robin, Miss Martian, Superboy, and for some strange reason, Red X.

"Cool!"

"Alright so we were making our way to Gotham city, when we spotted the Jokers goons. Blue beetle flew down and was able to take all five of them down." Caitlin said as Monica showed great interest in the story.

"After he took them down, Phoenix and I made our way into the building Joker was hiding in."

"Why not the others?"

"Well, we had some of the most experience. Plus, Robin and Red X were just there to make sure the others didn't get themselves killed. Anyways, Joker wasn't in there. Instead, we were knocked out."

Monica's eyes widened. "What happened next?"

"Well, we woke up later on in a warehouse. Phoenix was still unconscious, and the Joker was laughing at me."

"What did you do?"

"Before I could do anything, your big brother came in and knocked all of Joker's goons unconscious using his sonic blaster!"

"Whoa!"

"Yeah! And then, Impulse- Kid Flash, now- came running in and untied us. The rest of the team came in, just as Blue Beetle beat up Harley and Joker!"

"Yay!"

Caitlin smiled at Monica, deciding to leave out the part where Joker nearly beat the two of them to death with a crowbar...

"Haha alright kiddo time for bed." Caitlin said as she got up from Monica's bed.

"Okay, nighty night!" Monica said as she laid down and buried herself under her covers. Caitlin turned on her nightlight and turned her lights off and left. Caitlin then started to walk down the stairs. As she was walking down the stairs, she stopped.

"What the..." Caitlin then put her hand on her stomach.

"Cay?" A voice said. She looked up and saw Jaime at the bottom of the stairs.

"Yeah?"

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah...I think I felt something in my stomach just now." Jaime then started to climb the stairs.

"Your just imagining things. You won't be able to feel anything until after the first month." Jaime explained.

"Yeah you're right..."

Caitlin smiled at him, but felt nervous. "I should probably be heading home now, see you." She kissed his cheek.

Jaime grinned at her. "Night."

Caitlin left after saying goodbye to Jaime's parents, and took a Zeta Tube back to Gotham.
