Dick smiled as he held his girlfriend's hair back as she heaved into their apartment's toilet.
Note to self, Marinette's morning sickness did not like milk.
Note to self, he'd need to be eating his cereal dry for the rest of her pregnancy.
Marinette finally sat up and groaned, “That was miserable.”
Dick nodded sagely, “Yeah you even looked green.”
His dear girlfriend rolled her eyes, “So much for saying I was glowing.”
Dick laughed, “You've been hanging out too much with Jason, you're starting to get his sarcasm.”
Mari scrunched up her nose in the cute way she did when she wasn't exactly against something but she wasn't exactly for it either. Dick called it her indecisive look. It was utterly adorable to him.
“Well you're not exactly wrong. Baby here though needs to get over his distaste for milk since it'll be all he's having once he's here.”
Dick laughed at Marinette's joke, “Maybe he just doesn't want me to have breakfast?”
Marinette giggled, “Babe I highly doubt my baby is trying to spite my boyfriend because he doesn't approve.”
Dick shrugged, “You never know.”
Marinette simply hummed and Dick stood, offering a hand to his sweetheart. She took it and he helped her up, then they returned to the dinner table where their food sat cold.
While Mari sat to nibble on her toast, Dick went ahead and grabbed his cereal bowl and finished the last few pieces that were floating in the milk and then dumped the leftover milk down the drain. He wouldn't want to upset Marinette's stomach again.
She'd been doing alright in terms of her pregnancy, though the doctor had said that her morning sickness sticking around past the first trimester wasn't really unusual.
Dick hummed as he washed their dishes, Marinette having gone off to get ready for the day.
Their relationship was unique in his opinion.
When his family first found out they were dating and that Marinette was pregnant, there had been very mixed reactions.
Bruce had been pretty bothered, worried it was some scheme. Dick and him had argued for quite a while.
Most of his brothers had given him crap for it relentlessly and Jason in particular had been sending him contraceptives for a month. Marinette at least found it funny.
A lecture from Alfred was probably the worst of it, though the girls had lectured him on taking care of Marinette's needs which he was grateful for after the fact. He could appreciate Stephanie's desire to make sure one of her friends was well taken care of.
She was barely into her second trimester and in Dick's very credible opinion Marinette was gorgeous.
He finished washing the dishes and dried his hands, then headed to their bedroom only to find his dear girlfriend curled up on their bed napping.
Dick smiled fondly and joined her, laying down next to her and wrapping his arms around her.
Kissing the back of her head he whispered, “I love you Mari.”
