Batman, Red Bird and Kid Flash all stood in the old farm house.
"Looks like batsie brought some pals"
The Joker laughed.
"Too bad you're all going to die"
Joker threw down Joker gas and ran. Batman followed and Harley jumped down, ready to fight the pals of Batman. Irey smiled at her husband.
"Go help him. I'll take crazy"
He smiled at her before sprinting off. Following Batman's lead.
Kid Flash coughed and glared at Harley.
"Are you ready to get your ass kicked clown?"
"Oh? How do ya think your little friends are going to feel when they fall into my sweet Mista J's trap?!"
Irey looked distressed as she turned and looked in the direction Batman had just taken off. Using this as a leverage, Harley slammed her high healed boots into Kid Flash's face. KF flung to the ground with a thud. Whipping the blood from her mouth and nose she rose again and zoomed by Harley but Harley had anticipated this and threw an electrical shock wire at Irey. She fell to the ground again, the wire shocking her and burning into her skin. She howled in pain as the wire tore into her costume and skin. She threw up and her stomach hurt like hell.

Irey knew something was wrong because she would have been able to heal from this quickly but she suddenly felt faint and Harley slammed her size six foot into her stomach. It made her scream louder and blood poured from her wounds as she was still being shocked. Something diffenitly wasn't right because she couldn't use her speed and her stomach was a bit more swallon than usual.

She was drifting in and out of consciousness when Batman and Red Bird came back. Batman had Harley down within seconds and Red Bird already had Irey in the Batmobile ready to get to the hospital. In the car ride Bruce sped through the streets as Damian held Irey in his arms and patted her blood soaked hair and whispered soothing words to her.

"It looks like she's coming around"
An unfamiliar voice rung out. Irey's eyes couldn't focus but when they did she lifted her head and winced in pain. She quickly put her head back onto the pillow. Damian was holding her hand tightly and Bruce was sitting over the doctor's shoulder watching her every move.
"Iris this is our doctor. She knows our identities and delivered Stephanie's baby"
Irey nodded showing she understood.
"Do you know what's wrong with me doc? I don't know what happened. M-my sped just...went. My stomach was aching, my head spinning. I just couldn't fight. I felt so sick"
"I have an idea what's wrong with you. When you came in we did a scan and it appears there is something wrong with you"
Damian jumped the gun and desperately asked,
"What's wrong with her?!"
"Maybe you should see for yourself"
The doctor walked over to the monitor and switched it on. An unborn baby in the womb was curled up.
"We're...we're pregnant?"
Irey whispered and Damian's grip on her hand tightened.
Seeing the stunned parents, Bruce began to ask questions.
"How many months is she?"
"Five"
"Why didn't she get any symptoms before?"
"Perhaps speedsters work differently and because they develop so quickly that baby will be born in a matter of two months"

Damian and Bruce sat at the breakfast table.
"Iris not sleep?"
"She didn't even come to bed"
"Are you going to keep..it?"
"Do I have any other choice?"
"Adoption"
"How can you say that?"
Bruce looks up from his newspaper and sees an emotional Damian glaring at him.
"It was only a suggestion"
"Suggestions are over rated.... Did you say that to Dick when he got Starfire pregnant and out popped Mar'i? A half alien half human. Or when Tim and Steph decided to have three? Why only when Iris and I have a child is it considered bad to you? Is it because this is your house because we'd be happy to leave. You know it's funny how you adopted all these children yet you end up with a real child with your DNA, your blood but you never treat him like how you treated the others."
Damian left and Bruce watched him go.

Damian climbed down the stairs of the bat cave to find Irey clutching her stomach and staring at her suit.
"It's weird.. We're going to be parents"
Excitement and fear flashed across her eyes and he hugged her.
"I know..."
