Chapter Text
“Pregnant? What the fuck do you mean I’m pregnant, Frostbite! That’s not possible! In case you didn’t realize it, I’m a man!” Danny exploded, sitting on top of the stupid hospital bed, his arms crossed over his chest. He had come to the Far Frozen because he was feeling nauseous as hell, thought that maybe it was just some kind of ghost cold of some sort. Only for it to be pregnancy?
How the fuck did that happen?
“Ghost anatomy is different, Great One. You should know this better than anyone,” Frostbite said, taking a step back from the young king.
“How am I supposed to give birth! I don’t have the body for it!” Danny shouted, throwing his arms out wide as he tried and failed to keep from panicking. How was this possible? What the hell was he even going to do? How was this even going to work out for him?
“It’s simple, really. Right now you’re just forming the child’s core. Once the core is finished it will phase out of your body and mature for roughly three months before the child is born. This is quite exciting, Great One! We have never had a halfa give birth to a child before in our histories, it’s unprecedented! Truly remarkable.”
“So,” Danny said and slowly let out a breath as he closed his eyes and tried his best to stay calm. “What you’re saying is that I’m going to lay an egg?” He asked, voice cracking horribly.
Fuck Red Hood this was all his goddamn fault. Danny hadn’t planned on meeting a sexy brickhouse of a liminal when he had gone to explore Gotham but that was apparently exactly what the fuck he did. It hadn’t meant to go like this whatsoever. He had just been flying through the area, saw the guy getting cornered by a bunch of gang members with guns and couldn’t not help.
After helping the man out and fixing his little contaminated ectoplasm problem he had found himself in Red Hood’s bed having the best night of his fucking life. Now that best night of his life was turning into–something else. Now here he was apparently pregnant and probably about to lay an egg at any fucking moment. What the hell was he even going to do? He was twenty four! He didn’t know how to raise a kid. He didn’t even know how to take care of himself much less take care of a fucking baby. Not only that but what would the baby even turn out to be like?
Would the baby be fully ghost? Like Box Lunch was? Or since Danny was half human and Red Hood had been liminal, would she be like some weird combination of ghost and human? There were so many uncertainties when it came to this and it was terrifying. Not to mention Danny didn’t even live in the human realms anymore. He had decided to move to the realms full time as soon as he had turned eighteen and fuck. He was going to have a kid. Danny slumped down on the hospital bed and tried to even out his breathing as he felt himself fall into a panicked spiral. What was he going to do? Not only that, but should he tell Red Hood? Would the crime boss and vigilante Red Hood even want to have anything to do with their kid?
