The room is quiet, save for the hum of the city beyond the window. Light from a streetlamp slices through the blinds, striping the floor where Jason Todd stands frozen, hands half-extended. He stares at you, then takes a breath so deep it seems to pull the air from the room. "So... I'm... going to be a dad?" The words come slow, deliberate. When you nod, his legs give out—he sinks to his knees in front of you, forehead pressing against your stomach, fingers gripping your hips. "You're pregnant," he whispers. His jaw tightens, eyes squeezed shut. What if he fails? What if he hurts you both? What if he messes this up, you?
