*Jason made it to the bar he was all those weeks ago with no other leads he decided to walk inside, he walked to the bartender*
Jason:uh excuse me, i was wondering if you could help me
Hondo:no bills no ser...
*Jason slammed a stack of bills counting it all up it made 1000 dollars*
Present
Bruce:you gave him 1000 dollars?
Jason:hey i just found out i was having a baby i was in full panic mode. Like I'm any worse then what dick did when he found it he was gonna be a father
Marinette:what did he do?
Dick:...
Kori:he asked if i was sure u wasn't just getting fat
*Marinette glared at dick which made him squirm on his seat*
Dick:i panic! Anyway Kori punched me after i said that
Kori:yes but when he woke up it didn't get any better he said and i quote "how are you sure it's even mine" and let's just say he has a fake molar at the back of his mouth
*Dick rubbed his cheek remembering that punch, a punch that made him fall in love....and gave him one hell of a concussion*
Marinette:i would love to know your gym routine
Jason: don't matter if you do honey I've beaten her in a fight, when i say your cut off from coffee you.are.cut.off
*Jason said touching her nose with his finger with every punctuation. making Marinette huff in a way Jason always finds cute*
Back to the past
Hondo:ok you've got my attention, what do you need? The good booze? Maybe something more under the table? I've just got this amazing shipment of...
Jason:I'm looking for a girl, her name's Marinette those that ring any bells? She was here like a month ago
Hondo:my guy, a month is a long time and this is a very popular spot
Jason;ok ok, she had uh....shit....i think she had blue hair and uh....green eyes? No no, blue eyes bright blue eyes yeah. And she was small like a little pixie
Hondo:why with that kind of information how could I not remember her
*Hondo said full of sarcasm, Jason growled letting his anger get the better of him he grabbed Hondo by the collar*
Jason:listen here....
*Jason felt something hard on his chest he looked and Hondo had a gun on it, he wasn't the only one as multiple bodyguards came with there guns all pointing at Jason*
Hondo:your a lucky man, i just paid to get this placed cleaned yesterday it cost me a small fortune so I'm not too keen on having your blood on the floor
*Too huge man came to Jason And lifted him up from the ground*
Hondo:take this man and take him out of my establishment
*They walked Jason to the back and threw him to the trash, Jason groaned as he got up just as the two men walked inside, that only made his anger worse, Jason was ready to walk in and beat every one there till there faces were unrecognizable. As Jason was walking ready to go back inside he froze, as the trash was ripped opened when he landed and as the smell of bourbon filled his lungs, memories of his father filled his head and fear in his heart*
Jason:how can I be a father when i can't even control myself, i should just go back to Gotham...
*Jason said to himself feeling whatever bravery/stupidity he had before quickly leaving his body, as he walked away*
Present
Jason;not gonna lie, i still have those fears sometimes at night ...
*Jason muttered as he squeezed Marinette's hand for support, he got it when not only Marinette squeezed back but also cuddled closer to her husband*
Marinette:and I'll always be there up with you to make sure you see you are nothing like that scum of the earth. You are a loving man a kind man a wonderful husband, i could go on but best we get back to the story
*Jason gave a small smile and nodded looking at his family before continuing the tale*
Past
Scene change
*Jason was sitting on a bench at Champe de Mars, the Eiffel tower was his view but Jason was in his own world. His own twisted world, a twisted world that needed therapy, a twisted mind that shouldn't have taken 4 months to convince to go to therapy and*
Present
Jason:ok i get it love i was stubborn I'm sorry
*Marinette gave him an innocent smile as if she didn't know what she was doing, Jason rolled his eyes and continued the tell*
Past
*The truth wasn't that far off, Jason was currently remembering times with his original family, all the mistakes all the abuse. Jason was terrified that he would repeat those mistakes with this child*
Jason:what am I gonna do...
???:follow the music notes of life
*Jason jumped out of his skin as he looked to his right where the noise was coming from he saw a man with black and blue hair strumming a guitar*
Jason:where the hell did you come from?
Luka: I've been sitting here playing music for like 35 minutes you've been in your own little world until you finally said something
*Jason nodded at the explanation and sat back down*
Jason: follow the music notes of life? What kind of crap is that anyway?
Luka:an advice from a musician, penny for your thoughts?
Jason:rather keep them to myself if you don't mind
Luka:not at all
*Luka started playing one of his songs*
Luka:They call me the kid with the cardboard facePencil a smile or frown then eraseMake me a monster with paper mache
I'm the kid with the cardboard face
*Jason closed his eyes and just let the music relax him a bit*
luka:I drew on a hat with some black sunglasses
A girl took my shades and she sharpied eyelashes
A boy stole my snapback and burned my hair straight
I'm the kid with the cardboard face
But I met a girl with a porcelain name
*Jason flinched as that line made him instantly think of Marinette and the situation they're now have*
Luka:Easy to talk to but hard to explain
What do I do when I'm falling for you?
The girl with a porcelain name
Meets a boy with a cardboard face
Jason:nice song
Luka:thanks wrote it about an old flame i used to have
Jason: what happened?
Luka:wanted different things in life, we realized that we work better as friends then lovers
Jason:hm....i ....i met this girl like a month ago...things got complicated real fast
Luka:things are not complicated, we just make them with overthinking
Jason:...out of curiosity
Luka:yes my mom is a hippie
*Jason snorted at how fast he knew the answer, how many times has he had to answer it he will never know*
Jason:and i can promise you this one is complicated, i mean i don't even know what to say to her
Luka:a hello is a good place to start
Jason:haha
Luka:I'm serious sometimes a hello is all you need. So tell me why do you think it's complicated
Jason:i....she's.... she's having my baby
*Luka's eyes widen then squinted ever so slightly*
Luka:i see, and what are you gonna do about it?
Jason:that's what I just don't know. How the hell am I gonna be a father? I don't know the first thing about being a parent, not like my dad bothered to teach me he was to busy with his booze
Luke:hm. Then he did teach you something, how to be better then he ever was
*Jason just sighed and looked up to the sky*
Jason:i don't know man, I'm still terrified
Luka:it would be weird if you weren't every parent is terrified that what makes them good parents. So why don't you tell me about this girl, who knows this city is a small place i might know her
Jason:uh, i don't remember much we were both drunk, she has blue hair and bright blue eyes her name
Luka:is Marinette?
*Jason flinched and looked at the man shock, he still gave Jason a calm smile"
Jason:how...shit you really do know her
Luka:yup And I'm the only one in our friend group that knows about the baby, and personally of your that scared of being a bad father proves that you'll be a good one at least to me, so how about if i take you to her?
Jason:...please. Jason Todd by the way
Luka: Luka couffaine, future uncle and potential godfather
*Jason chuckled got up and left with him*
Scene change
*We see Marinette alone in the hospital waiting room, she was browsing there magazine waiting for her turn to see the doctor, when she heard the door opening she didn't pay much attention*
Luka:ah there you are ma-ma-marinette
Marinette: Luka what are...
*Marinette flinched as she looked who was behind Luka,*
* Jason looking just as nervous as her, Luka turned around and left without a word leaving our future mother, father there*
Jason:i uh...h..hi
Marinette:h..hi...
*They stood like that not saying anything for 30 seconds until Jason coughed*
Jason:u..umm c..can i sit down?
Marinette:o..oh yes yes! Please
*Marinette moved her pursed aside and Jason sat down next to her*
Jason:so...how...how are you feeling?
Marinette:as..fine as you can be after puking your breakfast
Jason:well if your hungry maybe we can have a bite to eat after this and we can...talk
Marinette:i...i would like that, i would like that a lot actually
Doctor: Marinette Dupain-Cheng?
Marinette:c..coming!
*Marinette got up and looked at Jason, she was having an internal fight until she finally spoke*
Marinette:do you want to join me?
Jason:you sure? I can see that it makes you uncomfortable
Marinette:not uncomfortable, nervous. But your the father your feelings matter and you have a right to see this too
*Jason felt weird, but touched that she was considering his feelings. He got up and followed her behind his bravery all but vanished while he kept a neutral brave face, inside he was terrified, he was so out of it he barely heard the doctor put the jelly on Marinette's stomach, or when Marinette grabbed his hand for support, he was taken out of his mind when the doctor said it*
Doctor: alright he should be right...there it is
*Jason looked at the monitor and saw it,*
*That little blob on the machine was his child, there child. That's that moment it all felt real to Jason, he was having a baby, he was gonna be a father, his face was so numb that he didn't feel the tear of joy that fell from his eye, his mouth opened and before the analytical part of his mind could interject, the emotional side won the one sided fight*
Jason:i want to be involved....
*Jason heard Marinette take a huge breath/small sob of relief, he looked at her and saw her smiling at him*
Marinette:I'm glad...
