Jenny Kord x Male Reader
For @deafeningsharkslimeempath
How does one even begin to explain where you’ve been for the last two years? For you, Y/N L/N, proud cousin of Jamie Reyes, you were fighting crime with your girlfriend Jenny Kord.
Jamie had yet to graduate from Gotham Law while you were off playing superhero. Jenny worked as your gal in the chair, helping out you and the Scarab with support.
It was fun, no real qualms since the scarab could heal your wounds. Khaji G, as you found out, is a very reliable armor and friend.
You found yourself relaxing on the top of the Daily Planet, just shooting the breeze with the AI embedded in your back.
“So tomorrow we’re heading back to Palmera City.” You sigh.
“Jamie returning home?” Khaji asks in her robotic tone.
“Yep.” You answer, “it’s good cover for us to head back and investigate Kord Industries”
“Jenny doesn’t know?”
“She’d worry if we were helping her investigate her aunt. Something about you and the power blah blah blah”
“You love her so you’re going to disobey her?”
“It’s called reading between the lines, Khaji. Or something like that.”
The two of you powered up and took off into the night sky, heading to Palmera City.
Seeing your tios, tias and abuelita and the cousins you practically call your hermano and hermana.
Speaking of which, you were the first to welcome Jamie when he stepped off the plane.
“Jamie!” You hugged him tightly. He hugged you right back.
“Y/N good seeing you cuz”
What you didn’t see or feel was that Khaji was scanning Jamie and sending a signal to the very scarab that Jenny was trying to save.
“Potential scarab host acquired” The blue scarab sent in response.
“The two men of the hour” your uncle Rudy laughs as he sees you and Jamie walking to the rest of the family.
You spent the next few months going back and forth between Palmera City and your duty as the Gold Scarab.
Using your job as a hero for hire, you were able to send some money to the Reyes clan, helping them to keep the lights on at their homestead.
And then came the Blue Beetle. Your Khaji G just had to send Jamie as a potential host for Khaji D, the Blue Scarab.
You tried to intercept the scarab from Jenny. “What?! I told you to stay out of Palmera City!” Jenny practically screamed at you as you saved her from her hotel room that fateful night.
“And let those goons hurt you?!” You almost screamed back. “Where’s the Blue Scarab?”
“I gave it to Jamie,” Jenny explains.
“Wait what?”
Boom! a blue blur zooms past you and Jenny.
“Blue scarab spotted. Host: Jamie Reyes”
“What?! How?!” You ask.
“He seemed like a good host. Recommend.”
Oh great. How’s this gonna play out? You find yourself wondering.
“Recommendation: train him”
“Train him?”
“Train who?” Jenny looks at you in confusion.
“You’re gonna love this,” you try to explain.
Whatever the future may hold. For you. For Jamie. For Jenny. For the Khaji programs. You’ll stand together. Family is forever after all.

Part 1 (you should probably read this lol)
-
You took a deep breath, “Jaime, I'm pregnant.”
He laughed, “What? What do you mean you're pregnant?”
You swallowed, “I am not joking. I've done all the tests. I am definitely pregnant.”
“We should give this time some privacy,” Nana proposed, and the rest of the family exited the restaurant and left you two alone.
Jaime blinked several times, trying to wrap his mind around this. You felt bad, this was a lot of information in just a few short moments.
“Um…um okay, how far along you? Wait…wait a minute,” he said suddenly with a confused look on his face. “How…how are you pregnant? We haven't had sex in months?”
Right, that part. You grimaced at this and started to explain yourself to the best of you ability.
“Um, okay so I’ve known I was pregnant for awhile. Um for about 3 months,” you admitted and hung your head in shame.
At the time, it seemed like a good idea. To hold off telling Jaime but right now, it didn’t feel like a good idea.
“So you lied?” Jaime asked bluntly and his eyes burning into your soul. “You lied, to my face. For months?”
Tears started to prickle into your eyes as you looked away from him, “I’m so, so sorry Jaime. I…I thought…”
“You thought it would be a good idea to lie to my face! To hide something like this from me?! How could you do that?! Why would you do that?! Every face time, every text message. You knew and just didn’t tell me,” Over the loud yelling and scathing glare, you could see his eyes becoming glossy.
Saying sorry was all you could do. The confidence you had that this was the right choice was completely shattered when you saw how upset Jaime was.
And wasn’t that just cruel irony. You chose to do something to make sure Jaime didn’t get hurt, but you ended up doing it anyway.
Jaime held his face in his hands, taking deep breathes to calm himself down.
“How far along?” He asked again.
“4 months,” you answered.
“4 months? I…I missed that much,” he mutter under his breath, lost in thought.
“Jaime, really I’m sorry. I….I just didn’t know how to tell you, and you were busy with school so I didn’t want to bother you,” you started rambling off an explanation but no matter what you said, it still didn’t seem right.
He looked at you in shock, “Bother me? How…how would telling me that your pregnant with my child is bothering me? How?!”
“Well you worked really hard to get into that college, and I thought knowing I was pregnant could distract you. And I didn’t want that so…”
Jaime looked at her, “So you lied to me for months because you decided that it would be best for me? Do you know how messed up that sounds?”
You sniffed, “Yes, I do, and I’m so, so, sorry.”
Jaime cleared his throat, “Well…is the baby alright?”
You numbly nodded. Jaime had a change the topic of the conversation, asking questions about the baby. But you could still feel the tension simmering around you, and could tell that he's obviously still mad.
After that you two walled home in utter silence. When you came home, the questions on the family’s face was obvious but they didn't speak it. Jaime didn't speak either, a small greeting and he went to his room.
God, where were you going to sleep tonight?
You don't think Jaime would ever kick you out but well you don't know exactly how he would react. You both had your fair share of arguments but they were never silent.
Cold, even.
For the next few weeks, you and Jaime co-existed in silence. You would sleep in the same bed with your backs turned to each other. You would eat the same dinner table but never talked directly to each other.
You were fixing your hair and getting your clothes on when Jamie entered the room. It was awkward staring and then silence, as usual.
“Where are you going?” he asked, noting your appearance.
“I have a doctor’s appointment,” you answered. You looked at the open dresser, none of shirts would fit you right now.
Jaime’s would though.
Before you would take the shirt without asking, but with how your relationship is, it felt like an overstep.
“Um, Jaime?” you turned around to see him getting dressed too. “What are you doing?”
“Going to the appointment with you,” he answered. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
You winced, “Well…I didn’t think you would want to go with. Oh, and can I wear one of your shirts? None of my fit.”
Jaime stared at you, “Of course I want to go with, it’s my kid too. And since when have you ever asked for my shirts?”
You were struggling to come up with an answer, you hoped it was a rhetorical one but Jaime had an expectant gaze on you.
Jaime sighed when you didn’t speak and came closer to you, “Listen, I’m…I’m still angry with you, at you. But I still love and care for you, that will never change.”
You sniffed and hastily wiped your eyes, “Hormones,” you said and he nodded.
You quickly got dressed and you both went to your doctor’s appointment together.
You were nervous but excited, like you were for every appointment. You hoped for good news but always prepared yourself for the worst.
Though it was nice to have someone to go with you this time, maybe it’ll stop all of those judgmental stares that people think are not noticeable.
You settled into the bed while Jaime sat on the chair, holding your bag. It was quiet in the room and you didn’t know how to break the silence.
Even though Jaime expressed he still loved for you, it was still rather awkward.
The radiologist walked with a small smile on her face and a cheerful voice, “Hi, how are we doing today?”
Both you and Jaime answered a “Fine” and the woman sat in the chair.
“And who are you?” She asked Jaime.
“Oh, I’m Jaime Reyes, her boyfriend. Nice to meet you,” he introduced himself and shook her hand.
She smiled, “Nice to meet you too, my name’s Katie.”
You’ve been through this process before, you answered all of her questions on autopilot and didn’t even flinched when the cold goop was placed on your belly.
You saw Jaime intensively watching though, his eyes never leaving you or the multiple instruments.
“And here’s the fetus,” Katie pointed to the screen, using her finger she pointed out all of the features that your baby had.
You smiled softly and felt yourself tearing up, you looked at Jaime and saw him staring at the screen in wonder.
“Would you like to see the gender?” She asked.
“We can find that out this early?” Jaime marveled with hopeful eyes.
Eyes you haven’t seen in a while, it made you happy.
She nodded and moved the joystick around a bit and then stopped with a quiet gasped. “There, your having a little boy.”
“Really?” Jaime asked in a quiet voice and glossy eyes.
Katie smiles and the rest of the appointment goes by smoothly. She prints out copies of the ultrasound for you guys and soon you left the doctor’s office.
“God, he’s beautiful.” Jaime said, touching the picture delicately.
You chucked, “You can’t even see most of the baby’s features.”
“They are our baby. They’re gonna be beautiful, no matter what,” Jaime said and you smiled at him.
You felt things were getting better, slowly but surely.
Of course, it hurts not having Jaime’s complete trust but, well you made your own bed and now you must lie in it.
You just hoped that one day Jaime’s trust you again. You’ll do whatever it takes and wait as long as it takes to gain it back.
Maybe, you’ll get through this.

I’m Just Worried About You
Characters: Jaime Reyes x Pregnant!reader
Genre: Fluff, Slight Angsty
Summary: Jaime being a worrywart while your in your 3rd trimester. Most days you think it’s cute and quite funny, but now your fed up.
Warnings: Pregnancy
-
“Oh, I got that for you!” Jaime said and reached above to grab the bowl you were trying to reach. “What cereal do you want?” He asked while looking at you.
You smiled, “Thank you for the bowl, Jaime. But I was gonna get some fruit actually.”
Before you could grab the bowl from Jaime, he walked over to fruit bowl. “What fruit do you want?”
You stared at him, “Jaime, I believe I’m fully capable of picking my own fruit from a bowl.”
Jaime cleared his throat, “Well yea but I wanna help you out, I don’t want you on your feet too much. Just tell me what fruit you want and you can rest on the couch.”
You sighed, this is what Jaime have been like your whole pregnancy, a curse and a blessing. Don’t get you wrong, you extremely appreciated Jaime’s willingness to help you out. Especially when you were dealing with morning sickness, fatigue, and headaches.
But did he have to do everything for you? At all times? It was like he saw you as a piece of glass, one fall and you’d shatter into several broken pieces beyond repair.
But, as annoying his overprotectiveness is, you understood it. You two were first time parents so everything was new, exciting, and downright terrifying.
Neither of you knew what anything meant. If you were tired in the mornings, was that a sign of something serious? If you were back began to ache or if you had a sore feet, that just a pregnancy symptom or something more.
And if you went to google, they’ll tell you the absolute worst of what you could have.
So you understood. Really, you did.
That being said though, you really didn’t need help when walking to the bathroom or getting a snack at night. Which was something Jaime frequently did, holding your arm and back as he guided you to your destination.
You sighed and gave him a stare, “Jaime.”
He looked up at you, “Yes?”
“I think I can manage getting on my own fruit,” you told him and attempted to grab the bowl from him.
His lips twitched in an all too familiar manner. He’s annoyed but he knew you was right so he so he didn’t how to proceed with it.
“Just let me do it,” he pleaded.
You narrowed your eyes are him, “Why?”
You watched as he fidgeted under your gaze. He was clearly hiding something but won’t tell you. Maybe it was embarrassing to talk about or he just didn’t understood his feelings to be able to voice them properly.
Either way, if this is how he’s gonna for the rest of your pregnancy, you at least would like to know why. And maybe you could work from there to get him back off a bit.
You walked closer to him and placed your hand on his arm for support, “Jaime?”
He looked up the ceiling for a second and exhaled through his nose. “I’m….I’m just worried about you, okay? I just…i don't want anything bad to happen so I thought that if I do things for you that would, I don't know, lower the risk maybe?” He covered his eyes with his hands, “I don't know it sounds stupid when I say it out loud.”
You shook your head, “No, no Jaime, it’s not stupid. Just…well…”
“Annoying?” he offered and cracked a smile.
You laughed softly as you nodded your head, “Yea, you can call it that. But I get it, yea? It’s scary and new. But I can do things on my own. It might take a bit longer and be a bit more difficult but I can do it.”
Jaime nodded his head and leaned into your touch, “I understand, I’ll try to be less overbearing. But please, if you do need help, ask. Okay?”
You nodded your head and smiled.
It was nice to come to an understanding.

You’ve been counting down the dreaded day since you found out about your pregnancy, the day you told Jaime about it. And about the house. And about the garage closing. And about his father’s heart attack. There was a lot you and his family were keeping from him.
For good reason, of course. Knowing how Jaime is, he’d drop out of college and catchthe next plane to come back home, no matter what anyone said.
And he worked too hard for that to happen or to have unnecessary stress cause him to fail his courses.
At least that's what you said to convince yourself that this was a good idea. But the doubt that laid heavy in your stomach was really convincing you that you were wrong in this decision.
You decided to wear an oversized hoodie even in the sweltering Texas heat. Your bump was growing, and you didn’t want to tell Jaime like this. You wanted to ease him into the news.
You would just have to bring a mini fan, ice cold water, and hope that most places have a working AC unit in them.
All of you huddled into Rudy’s car, and you braced yourself for the long ride. It was at least an hour or so. Maybe you could listen to music to calm yourself down.
Or you could obsessing over how you would break the news to Jaime. It was already nerve wracking telling someone your gonna be a father.
Especially when they are a new grad, especially when you were withholding this information for months, especially when you we’re struggling financially.
God, you should’ve aborted the baby the moment you found out. There was still time to do it, all you had to do was take one little pill. Why did you think this was a good idea? That this was doable?
“Everything will be fine, mija,” Mrs. Reyes attempted to reassure and handed you a tissue.
You gladly took it to wipe your tears and blow your nose, “Thank you, Mrs. Reyes.”
You had to keep your emotions in check if you wanted this to work. I mean if you showed up to the airport with puffy eyes and a snotty nose then you could tell Jaime you just really, really missed him.
Which is a case was true, you had really missed him. You missed hugging him, kissing him, and going on dates. Holding his hand, running your hands through his soft curls.
And didn’t they always say the best lie had some truth to it?
The drive to the airport came and went, everything’s a bit of a blur right now with you focused on how to tell Jaime. Your body’s basically on autopilot and before you knew it, you were in a somewhat crowed airport with good AC.
You felt the nice cool air on your flushed skin and hastily wiped some sweat from your forehead. Now you waited, and there he was. All smiles, with his graduation hat sitting playfully crooked on his head and his carry on trailing behind him.
He hugged Nana first, then Milargo, and Mr. Reyes. You couldn’t help but giggle at the sight of Jaime getting peppered with kisses by Mrs. Reyes. Watching him laugh and squirm under her hold, it was cute.
You imagined doing that with you kid one day. Hearing their laughter and whining out for you to stop because it tickled them too much.
No, no you're getting too far ahead now. Let’s just take this one step at a time.
Then it was your turn.
Even though you lived with the Reyes for a year now and were obviously pregnant, you still felt thoroughly embarrassed and self-conscious about showing too much affection in front of them.
So you gave Jaime a hug and quick kiss on the cheek. He held your hand as you made your way to the car and the taco place for lunch.
“How was the flight?” You asked him softly.
“Well, there was a crying baby for like half of the flight so that was great,” he answered sarcastically. “But yea other than that it was alright.”
Your eye twitched at the word “baby” and you felt yourself spiraling.
Does Jaime even want kids?
Does he want them but not right now?
Would he be happy? Angry, that you withheld this information or angry that your pregnant? Angry at both?
“Your sweating,” Jaime noted you. “That’s a pretty thick sweater, aren’t you burning up in that thing?”
You looked at Jaime then shared a knowing look with his sister, “Well, you know what they say Jaime, beauty’s pain.” You smiled tightly at him.
He did not look convinced in the slightest but he didn’t push it, and two continued your easy going conversation until you got to the taco place.
You all filed into the restaurant, at the table that you always sit at because it’s the only one big enough for everyone.
Your mind wandered to the future, as it always does. Would the kid sit on your lap or Jaime’s? Would they have a preference, or just who was holding them at the time? Or will you have to pull up an extra chair and all squeeze to make room?
You cleared your throat and attempted to clear your mind of those thoughts, but you wanted them to happen. You tried to convince yourself that you didn’t want kids, this kid.
But maybe you did want kids?
Or maybe it was just the hormones.
You were starving, the smell was intoxicating and tempted but the thought of food made you nauseous, and this sweater wasn’t making you feel any better.
The waiter came and everyone ordered food but you.
And of course Jaime noticed, he leaned closer into you and whispered into your ear, “Are you sure your okay?”
You brought out your mini fan just for it to blow the hot air back into your face, you winced at the feeling but you nodded your head anyway.
“Of course I am,” you responded. But you felt terrible and it was getting harder to keep the facade up.
Milagro, as observant her brother, noticed this too and huffed, “Okay, he’s had his tacos let’s tell him now.”
The announcement illicit different reactions: Jaime’s was confusion and everyone one else’s was shock. To be honest, there was really no concrete agreed upon time of when you would all tell Jaime the news. The only thing that was agreed on was that we would prolong it as much as possible.
You guessed Milagro was fed up then. You watched as Milagro unceremoniously dumped everything on Jaime; his father’s stroke, losing the garage, and potentially losing the house.
“Wait, so all of you hid this from me? For…for what? So I could focus on some dumb degree and get us more into debt?!” Jaime astonished.
“No, no, you had to focused on school. You worked too hard to give that all up,” Mr. Reyes explained.
“No, no I could’ve been working. I could’ve saved the shop, I….I could’ve been here for my family.” Jaime said. Then he looks at you, “Do you have anything you wanna tell me too?”
You realized that he was joking when he said that but it felt like a big bright light was under you. You wanted to tell him so badly but how?
You've been agonizing over how to do it for months now. What do you say? How do you say it? Do you ease it in or just blurt it out?
Either way, it was now or never.
You took a deep breath, “Jaime, I'm pregnant.”

He does that thing where he “guides” with his hand on your lower back or waist while y’all are walking. He walks on the side of the street where the cars are driving, in case something were to happen.
When it’s colder than what you expected, Jaime puts his coat or jacket over you without you having to ask. All you have to do is rub your hands together for warmth or shiver slightly.
He lets you to pull him in every and all directions by holding his hand. And when your using the escalator or the stairs, in a light color skirt or shorts, he stands behind you.

He’s always wearing an hair tie on his wrist in case yours get lost or pops. It’s happened too many times and Jaime’s always there to save the day.

“Nah, I got it. Put your wallet away,” he tells you.
He’s handing the waiter his card before you can even react.
He buys you flowers every Sunday afternoon. Sometimes they are delivered because he couldn’t make it but he prefers to hand them to you.
You’ve gotten use to them but you still have that bright smile on your face when you seem them.
