Chapter Twelve: Martian and Wife

"Remember: women are fickle. Especially pregnant ones..."

"Pregnant ones with lightning powers..."

"Particularly pregnant ones with lightning powers!"

"... It feels as though you are trying to talk me out of this..." J'onn looked at his groomsmen.

"What?! No! We just want to warn you of things to come!"

"Any more advice you are willing to give...?" he smirked at Wally, Bruce and Clark.

"Remember the magic words..."

"'Yes, dear'!" Wally finished for Bruce. Clark shook his head and laid a reassuring hand on the Martian's shoulder.

"Don't listen to them! You'll be fine. Be yourself; that's who she fell in love with. Although... she is pregnant and pregnant women do have random emotional fits..."

"I will be careful not to irritate her!" J'onn shook his head with a smile.

"It's too late for that! She's gonna find something to get irritated about!" Wally nodded thoughtfully.

"And when she does..."

"The magic words." J'onn finished for Bruce, "I recall that neither of you are married. How do you know so much?"

"Between me and Bruce, we've had enough women to have five sororities!"

"Screw you, West!"

"Wally... you've only had three girlfriends in your life..." Clark eyed Wally.

"Quality over quantity..." he said, matter-of-factly.

"Oh... my... God; this dress is too tight..."

"There's nothing wrong with the dress; you look gorgeous!"

"Yeah, I know ain't nothing wrong with the damn dress! It's the fat ass who's in it!"

"Tabs, you're not fat! You don't even have a baby bump! We just tried on the dress yesterday!"

"Alright; shut up so I can do your makeup!" Ashley smirked as she approached Tabitha.

"W-Wait!"

"For the love of Hera; now, what?" Diana shook her head.

"W-Wha... what if he thinks... I'm too fat to marry...?"

"... Is she serious right now...?" Shayera glanced over at Jamila.

"I'm barely fitting in this damn thing! What if he sees me wobbling down the aisle and changes his mind?! What if I make a bad wife? A mother?! How am I supposed to feed two Martians?! I can barely remember to feed myself!"

"Um, Tabitha...? I really think that J'onn can feed himself..." Diana smirked.

"S-S-So, what does he need me for?! I... I can't... do this... he deserves so much better!" she cried. Jamila kneeled in front of her, giving her tissue for her tears.

"Stop that! Tabitha... J'onn loves you. It don't matter how much imaginary weight you've gained or whatever! He came back to you. Don't you think that if he felt that someone else was better than you... he would've stayed away...? He didn't. And not only did he come back but he confessed his love for you in front of everyone!"

"Plus, he proposed to you! He didn't even know you were pregnant!" Ashley pitched in. Tabitha sniffed away her tears and slowly nodded.

"The two of us have known J'onn much longer than you have. Physical attributes mean nothing to him. He looks at your heart. I could tell that you meant much more than just a pretty face to him." Shayera smiled at Tabitha.
