After waking Roy up and everyone calming down a bit. We see the 3 sitting down while they looked at the answering machine still not believing it, Roy hit the play button and they heard it for the 7th time*
Marinette:Jason h... hey it's ummm Marinette you know the French pixie? I need to tell you something and i don't want to do it on your machine. It's uh kinda important you life and death important, why did i say death? It's not death, and absolutely nothing to be scared of I hope. It has to do with life it umm i..I'm pregnant
s..so yeah i ummm pretty sure it's yours the doctor said I'm 6 weeks and we...did it 6 weeks ago so...c..call me back please
Jason was in a state of shock looking at the blasted box with a black eye while Artemis was glaring at him*
Jason: I'm gonna be a father...what the fuck am i gonna do?!
Roy;how the hell are we supposed to know?! Why did you have your number?!
Jason: because I'm not you scumbag!
Roy:and look where that got you! You are screwed! You should've hit it and quit it like i always tell you!
Jason:hey I'm an asshole but not that much of an asshole, now i need some real advice!!
Artemis:call her
Jason:i can't call her!!
Artemis:and why not?
Jason:what do i say? "Hey girl sorry i can't be a father because I'm busy being a security guard with a gun fetish?!"
Present
Jason gave a playful glare at Marinette who was holding her giggles as she was the one who said that part of the story*
Jason:like your one to talk? Before i met you, you had your bed filled with plushies
Marinette:true, but most of those plushies are now owned by Marin and Thomas not me
Jason:so if i go to our room serñor huggybear won't be on our bed?
Marinette:...you totally have a gun fetish
Marinette said with a blush on her face making Jason had a smug smirk*
Jason:and you love it, I've seen that twinkle in your eye when we go to the gun range
Marinette:I'm a mother i have no twinkle for guns or anything violent
Jason:i have a video of you with a minigun that begs to differ, or the one with the flamethrower
Marinette glared at Jason making him cackle before continuing with the story*
Back to the past
Jason:what the hell do i say to her?! I can't be a father!
Artemis:so what? Your planning on never calling her? I knew you to be a man of many things Jason but never a coward
Jason:this is different!
Artemis:how? Your not scared or dying of a gunshot but your scared of being a parent? Or at least paying child support
Jason:hey now, how do I even know it's my child?
Artemis:correction a deadbeat dad like your own father
Jason stood up instantly angry of being compared to his biological drunk of a father, Artemis remained strong not showing even an inkling of being scared. She crossed her arms and scoffed*
Jason:don't you dare compare me to him...
Jason didn't scream but his was cold and promised pain if she didn't chose her words carefully*
Artemis:your doing a good job proving my point. So I'll say it again, call her. Be a man and own up to your responsibilities at the very least pay for child support. It's literally the least you can do, or prove me right and become just like your first father that didn't want anything to do with you
The mood was tense as both friends looked at each other with cold stares, Roy for the first time being the voice of reason got in between the two of reason*
Roy:ok ok, everyone just cool down, Jason take a walk and think what your gonna do and i mean really think about what you will do because like it or not your gonna be a father it's up to you to figure out what kind of father you will be
Roy said completely serious, Jason took an angry huff and walked out slamming the door*
Scene change
Jason walked till the crack of dawn in a haze, he calmed down hours ago but didn't stop in fact he was now running, he didn't stop when he crashed in to people, he didn't stop when he was in the middle of traffic and almost got ran over, he didn't stop when his phone was ringing no doubt Bruce asking where he is. Jason just ran, until he stopped. He looked around at where his legs took him and flinched as he made it to marquis apartment complex. His first home before Bruce found him.*
Present
Marinette moved Jason's head and gave him a loving and long kiss on the lips. Everyone knew Jason hated talking about his life before Bruce so it wasn't that surprising that Marinette was giving him her support, Marinette let go of the kiss as they connected forehead with there eyes closed and started like that for a few minutes in silence. The glare Alfred was giving the family said it all "you interrupt this I'll kill you". Jason let go of the foreheads and looked at everyone else*
Jason:where was i?
Damian: the apartment you lived before father found you
Jason:right
Past
The place was long since abandoned, the city condemned this apartments years ago, it's a miracle it was even standing. With a shaky Breath he walked inside forcing the door opened, he walked further inside walking pass the cobwebs, rats and other small creatures that call this place home now, Jason made it to the top floor to his family original apartment. Jason rubbed the door of the house if he looked close enough he could see the shadows of the letter of the door "Todd's" he opened the door and like a bitter after taste of vodka the memories of his beatings came full force seeing the house almost the same as a time capsule of his horrible childhood*
Jason walked further inside still seeing a few of his father's old bottles making his mind play a dirty trick on him. Instead of smelling, mold, rat droppings what have you, all he would get when he sucked in his breaths was his dad's old bourbon, Jason walked in to the living room seeing nothing much, a broken TV, rats running around, a frame picture covered so much in dust it was impossible to see the picture under it, and finally the center piece of the place his dad old lazy boy. Jason walked up to the lazy boy and sat down, he grabbed the old framed photo and cleaned the dust out of it seeing a picture he doesn't even remember. It was him as a little kid, his mother and father Willis and Sheila Todd and...they were smiling, they actually looked happy looking down at there Boy. Jason looked at that picture until another call broke his trance, he sighed and picked it up*
Jason: hello?
Bruce:Jason where are you?
Jason:...job with Roy and Artemis went long it's...gonna take longer then i expected before i can come back
Bruce: understood how long till you'll be back?
Jason looked down at the picture of the happy family a family he was robbed because of alcohol and drugs. was he really about to deny his future child that just because he was scared of being a horrible father? Jason honestly didn't know he was still scared of being just like his father or worse and...*
Bruce: Jason?
Jason:huh? Oh uh, I'll be back in a couple of week, like 1 month tops. I have to go
Bruce:be safe
Jason:you too
Jason hung up and took a huge sigh leaning back on the chair with so many thoughts In his head, but the biggest one being was he going to be as bad of a father as his biological father? Or somehow worse *
Scene change
Phone:this is Marinette, sorry I'm busy right now probably on a coffee rush, definitely on a coffee rush. Please leave a message and I'll get back to you when I crash beep
Jason:uh...hey...pixie it's me the American lunatic i uh...got your message we definitely are gonna talk but i don't want to do this on the phone
Flight attendant:excuse me sir were about to land please turn off your device
Jason:of course let me just finish this message. Ejem i uh talk do you later i guess call me since...i have no idea where you live or anything really bye
Jason hung up and finished his drink in first class courtesy of Bruce's Wayne credit card*
Flight:ladies and gentlemen welcome to Paris France
Present
Bruce:hold on, you paid for first class on my credit card?
Jason:oh don't be so surprised, like I'm the only one here who stole it
Bruce looked around while some had the dignity to look ashamed or embarrassed like Barbara, Tim and Damian. Others just smiled proudly, like Jason, dick and Selina. Bruce rolled his eyes and just accepted it*
Jason:relax i haven't stolen sugar honey ice tea in a long time, don't need to when i have My shugar mama
Marinette him a playful glare before smirking"
Marinette:well maybe i should buy an upgrade
Jason:how can you upgrade perfection?
Marinette:and your perfect?
Jason:far from it but you are stuck with me
Marinette:i guess i am oh what am I to do?
Marinette said dramatically cuddling closer to her husband*
