Danny Phantom stuff

Pregnant au 5

!!TW: MENTIONED RAPE!!

I was curled up in the space blanket, my core happy and calm and relaxed in my nest. Oh. That's what this is isn't it. I grabbed the thermos, drinking it in a couple gulps then sinking back into the warm blankets.

I lay in my nest drifting in and out of sleep until suddenly someone I didn't allow in was here, I sat up quickly and hissed at the person frozen in the doorway. "Woah sorry. No one mentioned you caring about your room." Red Robin said, backing out fast, I blinked
"My nest." I said under my breath, the comment wasn't meant to be heard but it was
"Can I come in?" Red Robin asked, and immediately that was wrong. It was my nest, mine, and Red Robin wasn't my 'fraid, I didn't have any good experiences with him. He was part of the group being nice to me, and they trusted him, and logically I should trust him, but I didn't.
"Out." I hissed
"Okay," Red Robin took a step back and I lay back down "Do you want to come out?" he asked
"No." I said, why would I want to get out of my nest, my safe nest, my comfy nest.
"Can I stay out here and talk?" Red Robin asked, I looked at how far away he was from the door and thought about how respectful he'd been, I'd like him futher away but then we wouldn't be able to talk without shouting.
"Fine." I grumbled
"You said being territorial and protective were side effects of the pregnancy. Is this it?" Red Robin asked, I thought about it, these were clearly ghost instincts, and they usually weren't this strong,
"Yes." I said with a nod that I quickly stopped when it made my head spin
"Well that's good right? You said they should've kicked in eariler, or they did, but you didn't notice becasue you weren't okay. So them being here is good right?" Red Robin asked,
"Yes." I said
"Do you want any food or water or anything else?" Red Robin asked, I looked at him
"Food." I said,
"Anything specific?" Red Robin asked,
"Food." I repeated and he walked away
"I'll find something bland..." he muttered.

Soon he came back, stopping at the door way with two cups of milk and a tray with sandwiches (some smelled vaguely of meat, others of peanuts, and something else sweet), a salad, and two cookies, double servings of everything.
"Any allergies?" Red Robin asked,
"No," nothing normal at least, if they made sandwiches out of blood blossoms or space rocks I might run away.
"Can I come in to give you the food?" Red Robin asked, I stiffened, then looked at him, double checking he wasn't Vlad, searching for the telltale signs of overshadowing, seeing if Vlad was simply disguised.
"Yes." I said once I was sure. Red Robin walked in, handing me the plates which I ate quickly and Red Robin walked out of the room
"Batman will take the shift after mine, I'm leaving in two hours." he explained, I froze. Batman, an older man with unclear intentions, alone in a house with me, while I'm weak? No. NO. Absolutely not. I was not- no- I can't, no. No! "-antom! Phantom!" Red Robin called from outside the room, I looked up "Are you okay? Your eyes started glowing really bright and you looked terrified and I'm pretty sure you stopped breathing." he said.

I wrapped my arms around myself, suddenly I was uncomfortable in my own skin. I hated the fact I wasn't wearing a binder and tried to protect myself.
"No." I said "No one..." I trailed off, Red Robin looked at me and suddenly his eyes went wide then he looked angry
"No being alone with boys, especially adults?" he guessed,
"Yes." I said and his fist clenched as he confirmed I was- no, not thinking about that. I tried to stop shivering and really wanted to get in the shower and turn it up as hot as it could go and burn my skin off, the skin that he touched, at the same time I really didn't want to be naked.
"It's fine, I'll explain... can I tell everyone why?" Red Robin asked
"Yes." I said
"Okay. Someone'll be here, probably Spoiler or Orphan, maybe even Oracle might come in person if everyone's busy. Or Harely's young and she'd probably get protective of you real fast, her girlfriend Ivy is good now too, mostly anyways." Red Robin mused out loud "Would Batwoman be okay?" he asked,
"Yes." I said.

I closed my eyes and tried to fight off the panic attack,
"I'm going to call Oracle so we can organise something, do you want me to stay here?" Red Robin asked
"No." I said, I didn't want anyone seeing how scared I got. I tried to comfort my baby again as Red Robin walked out, I could hear his conversation though
"Hi Oracle ... yeah it is about Phantom, Batman alone with is not a good idea ... yeah, a rape victim I think, it'd explain the pregnancy ... yeah, change the schedules, it's not a good idea to leave him alone with a boy ... I know, he doesn't seem to mind adults in general although I'd assume age does factor, mainly gender ... yeah he seems okay with telling the others and he did seem better before the topic came up ... I didn't know there was an Arkham breakout ... that's more than usual ... okay Batman doesn't come, everyone will be busy ... Harely would be a good fit I recon ... yeah she'll be free and you know how protective she gets about kids in general, let alone raped kids ... just explain he's not human and the whole situation, and make sure Ivy's here too, she thinks twice so she'll be able to hold Harely back a little ... bye." he said

No one came near my nest until the houses door opened and frantic footsteps made their way through the hallway towards me, I stared at the door with fangs bared and a growl in my throat as it was blown open. A girl with pigtails dyed pink and blue stared at me and a pretty girl lady with green skin and red hair held her back from entering, together they reminded me of Jazz but I still wanted the out. I growled and they seemed to get the memo, the both took a step back and Harely (I assume) opened her arms to show she wasn't holding anything
"Hi pudding, I'm Harely, Red tells me you're Phantom?" she asked, the growl died in my throat at the sing song in her voice. She seemed like a clown but she was nothing like freakshow, she had a comforting aura around her even though I'd just met her
"Hello." I said hesitantly "That's right."
"Phantom's a lovely name sugar." Harely said with a kind (if slightly crazy) smile, she gestured to the girl standing next to her "This is Ivy my girlfriend!" she said happily "I'm a clown, you could say. And Ivys got plant powers! Isn't that cool?" Harley asked, I didn't know how she managed treated me like a child and also made my opion important, but she was kind. I could tell by her happy words and the way she dressed, I could tell my the emotions radiating off of her, the undeniable crazyness and happiness but seriousness and pain beneath it all. She was a kind soul. And looking at both of them reminded me of Jazz.
"Yeah." I said "Cool." I agreed with a small nod, I hid my fangs and relaxed into my bed and Harely managed to grin even wider
"Red says we need to ask for permission, can we come in?" Harley asked, I hesitated. They were strangers, about to come into my nest, no, she seemed nice, but that was wrong
"No." I shook my head
"But!" Harley started, Ivy put a hand on her shoulder "Of course we can wait out here." Harely said a little sheepishly.

Harely did a dramatic fall against the wall, and Ivy joined her in a more dignified matter.
"You're pregnant?" Ivy asked, I tensed slightly, before I could answer Harely butted in
"Red said you were. Do they have a gender? Have you decided on a name?" she gasped dramatically "Can we help name the kid?! I hope they're a girl!" Harely declared, Ivy sighed
"You barely know the poor kid, he's clearly not ready to answer these." Ivy said,
"Oh right. Do you have baby clothes and toys at least?" she asked, gentleness seeping through the energy, I shook my head
"No gender, no name." I said
"Is there a way to tell the gender for your species?" Ivy asked kindly "Assuming your species has the concept of gender because you seem to have had experiences with it." she said with a small wince
"I don't know." I said "Let them form a little more, then I'll probably be able to tell."
"Okay." Harely crossed her legs and pulled them close to her chest "Well it's time to start thinking up baby names now. Do you have a lap top? We could share doogle doc between the three of us and start scheming up ideas." Harley suggested
"Harley he's overwhelmed, slow down." Ivy said, she turned to me "Do you want to think about baby names?" Ivy asked, I stared
"I- I don't know. I haven't had time to really think about it." I tried
"That's okay, do you want to come out? I make good fruit platters and salads." Ivy said kindly. I stood up and jumped out of my bed
"Okay." I said
