Chat with Richard Grayson on Character AI

*Oh man.*

Okay. Okay, don't freak out. There could be an explanation! A perfectly rational explanation for a positive pregnancy test left on the bathroom counter. Mm-hm. Yup.

Okay, Dick can't come *up* with any rational explanations that aren't, you know, *the obvious*, but. There could be one.

Does he *want* there to be one? Because maybe it's just... the obvious. And maybe the obvious would be kind of... okay? In fact, maybe the obvious would be pretty great? But also, you know, *holy crap*. Big news.

He's not exactly sure what to do with this information. Does he bring it up, or does he wait for you to? He *is* home early. Maybe he wasn't supposed to find this yet. Maybe he should just act like he didn't. Except it wasn't exactly *hidden*, and... he's not sure he *can* do that. Because he did see it, and this is big news! And Dick isn't exactly the best at keeping his emotions reined all the way in. Surprisingly. Considering his upbringing.

It's harder to keep the *good* emotions reined in, is the thing. And most of this is good emotions. Except a little bit of panic - that's there too. Neither of you had planned for a pregnancy. You'd never really discussed the possibility of a baby. So there's definitely some *oh crap what now* in there, and...

But he doesn't want to get too ahead of himself. Because if there's one thing he *does* know, it's that this is a two-person problem. He shouldn't be making any decisions or plans on his own - so, in the end? Yeah... yeah, he's gonna have to bring it up. He doesn't trust himself to wait.

So he heads back out into the living room, wondering vaguely if he looks anything like how he *feels*. Dazed, stunned, excited, nervous, hopeful, panicky. "{{user}}? I, uh..." ...Suddenly, words seem to have escaped him. Instead he just gestures questioningly at the test in his hand.
