It was that time again and aria was about to give birth, you know what that means - cursing everything and everyone and A LOT of chocolate.

Aria had gone into labor the night Jon, lian and the kids were to return so luckily they didn't miss it.

Everyone was perched in the hospital room and by everyone I mean Damian, Jon and lian everyone else sleeping outside from jet lag.

"I can't believe it's happening" lian gushed laying beside her cousin on the bed. "I know honey we did good" aria stroked her hair.

"Honestly I feel like a side chic or something" Damian muttered to Jon as they sat on the small sofa in the delivery room.

"Girls are just like that, they're either deeply connected or not at all" Jon muttered back jumping when the door flew open once again.

"Where's my baby?" Irey squealed speeding over to aria and laying on her other side. "I'm here" aria groaned feeling another contraction.

"Sup" Bart muttered sitting beside the guys, "this is so weird" he shuttered slightly "you know you have kids of your own right?" Damian asked and Bart shook his head "not that, it's just that today one of best friends will be born but she won't technically be my friend because now I'm way older than her" he told him and that's when the 2 raven haired males remembered that he was from the future.

"I'm still stuck on the fact that I'm friends with her parents considering you used to scare the shit out of me in the future" he smirked.

Damian and Bart began to bicker back and forth about how intimidating Damian was while Jon blocked them out his eyes lingering on a certain archer.

"Kent tell Allen that I'm not as intimidating as I look" he nudged the kryptonian who stayed still, "hey? Hello? Earth to Jonathan?" Bart waved his hand in front of Jon's face and as soon as Lian was covered from his sight he snapped out of it.

"What? Sorry what did you say?" His face flushed a light red making Damian raise an eyebrow "what's wrong with you?" He questioned watching the kryptonian squirm under his gaze.

"See I told you, intimidating" Bart pointed out but Damian didn't listen, he examined his friends face for any sign of explanation eventually following his eye sight to see Lian attempting to hide her own blush.

His looked between the two before his eyes snapped shut "no" he began shaking his head "you didn't" he pointed at Jon who began hiding behind Bart "I-I don't know what you're t-talking about d-dami?" He stuttered as Damian stood up "don't you dami me! You slept with her?" He whispered careful of the 3 females in the room.

Now it was Barts turn to widen his eyes "dude!" He smacked Jon's arm, pulling him up with Damian "we're uh gonna get some food! I'm hungry, we'll be back soon" Bart told the girls "but what if I go into labor?" Aria questioned her nerves peaking out slightly "Bart knows when the baby's coming, he'll let us know and then speed us up" Damian told her pulling his friends out the door "guys! Wait up! I want some food!" Irey called out following after them.

"Is it me or is it weird that Bart knows the exact time I give birth?" Aria muttered to Lian "apparently he was besties with your kid, I mean I know when you were born" she shrugged and continued watching Tvd.

"How are we supposed to talk if she's with us?" Bart asked Damian quietly wary of his cousin who was a few paces ahead of them with Jon by her side. "What if she knows?" Damian questioned.

"I'll find out" Bart began catching up with his cousin putting an arm around her shoulder "Bart what are you doing?" She asked weirded out, Bart smiled not noticing the 2 males behind him face palming.

"Hey do you know if anything's happening between Jon and Lian?" He asked quietly pretending as if he didn't know that he was bugged by Batman.

"Why? What have you heard?" She snapped quickly making Bart become nervous "nothing! I just wanna help my boy out! Jon needs help or he's gonna stay single forever!" Bart pleaded while Damian smirked at the sour look Jon had on his face.

"No I wouldn't" he muttered to himself, "you promise not to tell?" She looked at him sternly "Lia told us that they had a one nighter" she whispered gasping as if it was some top secret shame.

"So you know?" Bart asked "wait you know? Do they know you know?" Irey asked Bart pointing to the 2 males pretending to be on their phones "they know I know and they know you know" he told her sheepishly.

"Ok good!" She sent a sarcastic smile before marching over to Jon.

"Angry redhead! Angry redhead!" He muttered to Damian cowering behind him slightly.

"Jonathan Samuel Kent! Get your ass out from behind him!" She snapped watching him scramble up from the floor.

"Irey? Hey didn't see you there!" He tried feigning innocence "she knows we know" Bart told him.

"Oh boy" Jon muttered as the red head dragged him by the ear into an empty room not letting go until he was sat down in the chair.

"What are your doing with my best friend?" She crossed her arms not breaking eye contact.

"I-I uh..." Jon ringed his hand together suddenly finding it difficult to speak. "Ok forget that, what are you gonna do now?" Damian asked him earning the same response.

"You're scaring the poor child! Look at him he's shaking" Bart cooed wrapping an arm around the stuttering mess of a man.

"It's not my fault! You're wife's the one trying to set us up and it worked... sorta..." Jon muttered.

"You're blaming the pregnant and hormonal lady? Really?" Irey scoffed but Damian stayed quiet knowing that Jon was right in this case.

"Speaking of pregnant wife, she's about to have Rhea, I mean the baby we should go!" Bart rushed grabbing onto Damian and speeding up to the delivery room.

Arias groans could be heard from inside and Damian braced himself for immense pain when he stepped inside and offered his hand to his wife.

"I'm here" he whispered to her trying to ease her "they're all liars" she whined to him "yes they are" he agreed, he didn't know what she was talking about but he knew not to disagree with her in this vulnerable state.

"Epidurals don't do shit" she muttered feeling another contraction "where is the fucking doctor?" She hissed in immense pain.

Lian stood out the room "one of you shitheads who work here come help deliver my cousins baby! She's in fucking labor!" She yelled grabbing onto the first person she saw and dragging them into the room.

"I'm not a delivery doctor" he stammered shutting up seeing the look on their faces. "Where is doctor Froyd?" Damian asked him as that was the doctor who was supposed to be here doing his job.

"He had to go home, his cat ran away or something" the nurse trembled pushing his glasses further up his nose.

"Well until someone else comes you're staying here" lian told him and he nodded quickly preparing himself.

He lifted the blanket slightly "the baby's crowning, you should start pushing" he told her.

"What's your name?" Aria asked panting slightly "j-jerry?" He stuttered out a response and aria nodded breathing out "ok... jerry you better hurry up and get this baby out of me or else you're gonna be the one in pain!" She groaned.

"Yes ma'am, ok on 3 push, 1... 2... 3..." Aria screamed out holding onto Damian and lians hands.

"I can't feel my hand! Irey quick switch!" Lian moved back so Irey could take her spot comforting Aria.

"One more push and the head will be out" jerry instructed as she pushed again sighing in relief that some of the pressure was gone.

"I'm here I'm here! Sorry I'm late my cat mr snuffles had ran off and..." everyone in the room paused to look at Dr.Froyd running in, his appearance disheveled.

Ignoring the man they went back to the delivery "One more push and the baby's free" jerry told her as she groaned one last time, pushing the baby out.

"It's a girl!" Jerry told them and aria smiled at the sight of her daughter "why isn't she crying?" Damian asked worry etched on his face.

Dr.Froyd quickly pressed the blue button on the wall rushing to cut the umbilical cord and placing the baby on a small cart in the corner of the room. "I got a code blue!" He told as nurses began rushing in.

"What's happening?" Aria cried out trying to get a glimpse of her baby. "What's code blue?" Lian asked Jerry who stuttered out "respiratory arrest, she's not breathing" he sent a sympathetic look to the new parents.

The doctors and nurses crowd around the baby beginning to resuscitate trying to get air into the little baby's lungs.

Eventually after a couple minutes of painful silence a small cry was heard allowing everyone to sigh in relief.

She had tubes connected to her now, "we need to take her for some observations and tests, there's something wrong with her lungs" Dr.Froyd told them before their baby was wheeled out the room.

Aria couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, she barely got a glimpse of her daughter before she was taken away. She was grateful that she was alive but she dreaded that she wasn't clear of any threats to her health.

"Do you know anything about what's going on with her?" Aria asked Bart who had tears in his own eyes "uhm.." he cleared his throat "she has weak lungs, she always had, she has an inhaler it's like asthma but way worse, it's like part of her lungs are deformed" Bart explained his knee beginning to shake.

"T-there was this one time, when we uh.. we were playing together and she started coughing and then blood was coming out of her mouth and she... she wasn't breathing, we got her to the hospital but she didn't make it. Her grandma I didn't know who she was at the time, she took her from the hospital room and she dipped her in the Lazarus pit and revived her. Her lungs got stronger but sometimes the blood lust affect would get to her but she pushed it down because she had me to help her but I'm not there, so who's gonna help her?" He put his head in his hands.

"Thalia saved her" Aria muttered "at least we know she's gonna be ok" Damian muttered back placing a kiss on her forehead.

"I'm gonna check on the kids" lian told the others stepping out of the room.

"I should call Tim and tell him to bring TJ over" Aria groaned at the small ache in her abdomen dialing Tim's number.

"hello?" He answered "hey Tim, I had the baby it was a girl!" She told him excitedly she had always wanted more girls in the family "that's great! We'll come see you soon" he told her "you might want to wait a couple hours before you come, I'll explain when you get here but can I talk to Tommy for a sec" she asked hearing the line to silent for a moment before he responded "yeah sure".

She could faintly hear Tim mumble something in the background before she heard the voice of her baby boy "oh hi mommy" she smiled at his adorable nature "hi baby, did you have fun with uncle Timmy?" She asked "yeah we had so much fun" he laughed, she internally begged that Tim hadn't given him coffee "oh really? What did you do?" She asked "we went shopping, and saw unca Dickie and now we at the hospital because unca Timmy got a big owie!" He gasped telling his mom and arias eyes widened at the revelation.

"You're at the hospital?" Damian turned to aria as if to ask her what was going on "Yeah the doctor said he gonna get sticks!" He told her "sticks?" Aria questioned confused, 'was he getting crutches? How badly was he hurt?' She thought to herself "but don't worry mommy he's not going to die!" Her son assured her and she asked him "can you pass the phone back to unca timmy?" He handed the phone back.

"H-hey?" Tim stuttered "you're at the hospital?!" She shouted, what kind of shit had Tim gotten them into? "are you ok?" Her tone of voice changed back and forth "yeah I'm fine, just need a couple of stitches" he waved off "stitches? What happened?" She demanded "just a small incident with TJ and a katana" he muttered casually.

"A katana? Oh my god! You let him play with a katana!" She growled earning a glare from Damian not at her but to the phone in her hand as if trying to get Tim to feel it. 'How dare he touch my katana with his filthy hands?!' Damian thought to himself. "oh look the doctors coming gotta go bye!" He quickly cut the call. "He hung up on me" she huffed too tired to deal with this shit, she can scream at Tim later.

"Babe have you got any cash?" Aria muttered leaning onto her husband "yeah? Why?" He questioned pulling his wallet out "can I have 50 bucks?" She asked looking him in the eyes, Damian complied handing her a 50 dollar bill still confused on what she was going to do.

As soon as she took it from his hands she handed it back to him "here's 50 bucks, you won the bet" she sent him a wink laughing exhausted. Damian shook his head not bothering to complain after all she had been through in the last couple of hours.

"You should rest" Damian told her "no I don't want to until she comes back" Aria insisted focusing her attention on to the kryptonian who sat quietly besides Bart.

"Jon? What's wrong?" She asked as he snapped his head up "you may or may not have gotten me killed" he shrugged leaning back into the sofa.

"I did what? How did I?" She shook her head at him "you're advice and you're planning and advancing got me in a really tight spot" he told and she looked around to the others still confused.

"Lian" Damian told her "what? Did something happen?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows at his nervous state "you know exactly what happened" Jon accused her "I don't see how cuddling will get you killed" She waved off not noticing the confused looks.

"What are you talking about? He's talking about the fact that he slept with lian" Bart told her and if her eyes widened even more they would've popped out of their sockets.

"No!" She gasped looking to Damian and Irey for confirmation "how did you not know? She tells you everything!" Irey asked "well sorry! I was in labor and their were bigger things to worry about than the fact that Jon isn't as innocent as we thought" she couldn't help but laugh at the whole situation.

Here she was laughing at Jon's predicament and her baby's fighting for her life. Soon laughter became sobs and she started crying "I hope my baby's ok" she clung onto Damian who rubbed her back assuring her even if he had doubts himself.

"Sorry I guess I'm still hormonal" She wiped my eyes not caring about how horrible She probably looked right now.

"I'm gonna get cleaned up I'll be back" she slowly stood up only to fall back "I'm kinda numb right now" she giggled "do you want me to help?" Irey asked to which aria shook her head "I'll wait until I can at least feel my legs"

"Anyways sorry Jonny, what were we talking about? Oh right my ship! So you slept with her, how? When? Why?" She began to invest herself into the potential relationship as if she wasn't already involved in the making of it.

"We went to a bar and uh... we got drunk and then... you know..." he trailed off ashamed slightly.

"Wait you had drunk sex?" Aria couldn't help but frown at the lack of romanticism. "Yeah kinda" he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Can you even get drunk?" Bart asked to which Damian scoffed "he's half human and a sloppy drunk" now it was Jon's turn to scoff "no I'm not" he protested.

"Do you guys even remember anything from that night?" Irey asked the important question "I do, I don't know if she does but she's been avoiding me since and I don't know how to fix this" he rambled.

"So you like her then?" Damian asked, he needed to know if the feelings Jon felt were true, lian was like a sister to him and he made a promise to Colin and himself that he wouldn't let her get hurt again, not if he could help it.

"Do I like her? Dude I fucking love her! I love Lian Harper!" He announced shutting his mouth as soon as the door opened and there stood a wide eyed Lian mouth gaping open and shut.

"Oh shit"
