Hearing Ana's words, Damian turned to look at Sophia.
''Well, I just said send the best doctor to do an ultrasound, I figured it was obvious I wanted an obstetrician'' Sophia said uncomfortably with the stares.
''Whatever, check Ana and then me'' said Carol, pulling Damian's hand towards Ana's stomach.
Damien affectionately caressed Ana's belly a little before he began to examine her body, now that he was so close and put care in that area he could detect the feeling of familiarity with his lineage.
And according to his time-related familiar, the fetus is about three months old, to be exact it was conceived on the day of his return.
'The question is why the doctor said he was 5 months old, maybe he is quite developed for the age he is?' Damian thought.
Putting those questions aside for now he looks at Carol before placing his hand on her stomach.
Damian again detected the fetus in Carol's stomach, and according to the time it was also the day of his return, he couldn't help but wonder if dragon blood helps vampires conceive.
Damian kept thinking until he saw the look on the three women's faces waiting for his response.
''In fact, they're both pregnant,'' Damian said, smiling softly.
''And they were conceived at the same time, which makes me suspect that dragon blood is especially effective in conceiving vampires,'' Damian said.
The three women could not help but smile happily; they had waited many years for this moment.
''How long will it take for the baby to be born?" asked Ana, gently stroking her belly.
''I'm not sure, with the vampires Ophelia created it was 9 months just like a human, but the father of those vampires was human, in conclusion, we can only wait'' said Damian smiling wryly.
"What if it takes years?" asked Carol worriedly.
''I really don't know,'' Damian said.
''That's something unimportant, the important thing is that they are finally pregnant,'' said Sophia happily as she imagined the little babies she would have in her arms.
''They need to make sure they eat well, especially your Carol, remember to tell me when you are hungry and what you want to eat," Sophia said.
''Damian will take care of your food, Ana'' said Sophia looking at Damian's neck.
''Hm'' said Ana, looking at Damian with her red eyes.
''I'll go tell the family, we'll celebrate tonight,'' Sophia said cheerfully, walking out.
''So... who got pregnant first?'' Carol asked Damian seriously.
Ana also looked at Damian wanting to know the answer.
''...''
''I can't know,'' Damian said even though it was a lie.
Damian quickly fled as he didn't want to be in the middle of Carol and Ana's fight when he could decide the winner.
As Damian escaped he couldn't help but think of Ophelia.
Has she become pregnant?
And if she had become pregnant, what was he going to do about it?
Damian couldn't help but sigh.
With a child involved, things get very complicated.
....
Natasha, who was in the SHIELD offices, couldn't quite concentrate thinking about Carol and Ana.
"Agent Romanoff, are you listening to me? Fury asked somewhat pissed off when he saw that after everything he said it seemed she wasn't paying attention to him.
''Sorry, I'm a little distracted'' said Natasha, sighing.
''I realize that,'' Fury said.
''I was just telling you that you have to stay a little later today to finish some paperwork,'' Fury said.
''Impossible, I really can't today,'' Natasha said seriously.
'I was considering leaving early and now they want me to stay late, yeah right' Natasha thought sarcastically.
"Is something wrong?" asked Fury, usually Natasha has no problem staying a little later.
Natasha hesitated a bit before pulling out something Damian gave her that temporarily disables the electronics.
''They are doing a pregnancy test on Carol and Ana, I have to hurry back to find out the result'' said Natasha.
Fury couldn't help but remain silent as multiple thoughts swirled in his head.
The idea of Carol and Damian's child is terrifying.
God bless the universe.
Natasha nodded happily as she moved on to touch Ana's abdomen.
Ana only smiled slightly at the affection in Natasha's eyes.
Damian's eyes couldn't help but sparkle as he took in the scene, it was what he had always wanted, a family.
''I think he's actually my baby," Damian said, appearing behind Natasha and pulling her onto his lap.
''Don't get so hung up on the details,'' Natasha laughed as she felt Damian's hands on her waist.
''We should go downstairs, Monica and Jane won't be long,'' said Damian, smiling as he left a kiss on Natasha's cheek.
''Sure, I'm hungry,'' said Natasha.
''Well you're a growing girl, she has to eat to fill them up again'' said Carol looking at Natasha's chest as she teased.
''You're the one who's going to fill out, you're going to look like a cow,'' Natasha said, looking at Carol's breasts.
''All I hear is envy," Carol laughed.
The three of them took a quick bath before getting dressed and heading downstairs.
Sophia watched them arrive with a smile.
"Did you like the show, Natasha?" asked Sophia with a laugh.
''So you knew and didn't tell me'' Natasha pouted.
''I don't see you upset,'' Sophia said teasingly.
"Who did you call?'' Damian asked Sophia.
''To Monica, Jane, Maria, and Ophelia, but the latter told me she couldn't come,'' said Sofia.
Damian couldn't help but stay quiet when he heard that Ophelia wasn't coming, not for a moment did he think it was because of work.
''I understand," Damian said.
The entire group remained in the room while waiting for everyone to arrive.
Monica and Jane arrived together a while later, they didn't know what Sophia had called them for, she just told them to come quickly.
The two girls joined everyone in the room as they waited for Maria to arrive.
After waiting almost half an hour, Carol was already pretty pissed off, so she picked up her phone and called Maria.
The phone rang for a while until she answered it.
''Maria, may I know why you haven't arrived?'' Carol asked, annoyed.
''I'm taking care of some business at SWORD," Maria says absentmindedly as she looks at some papers.
''If you're not here in 5 minutes I'll have Damian make you show up here,'' Carol said menacingly.
''Isn't it just a meal? It's not a good time'' said Maria, she still had several papers to finish.
''It's not just a meal, let's talk about something really important," said Carol, feeling her patience was reaching its limit.
"How important from 1 to 10?" asked Maria hesitantly.
''A thousand, so you have 5 minutes to get there, I don't care if you have to use your powers'' said Carol before hanging up.
Carol was upset, it was time to announce what she wanted so badly and her best friend wasn't here to hear it.
They all saw Carol yelling into the phone, so they couldn't help but stand silently looking away in hopes of not putting themselves in her crosshairs.
Fortunately, no more than 5 minutes passed when Maria arrived at the house.
Maria slowly peeked out to look into the room, seeing Carol who was literally almost smoking. She slowly crossed the room and sat down next to Sophia.
''Cough... I'm here,'' Maria said awkwardly.
''I don't feel like saying it anymore,'' Carol said.
''Come on, Carol, I'm sorry, it's just that I had something important to do,'' Maria said, trying to persuade her.
''It's not just about today, you are always isolated. Are we, not your family? You spend more time on that job of yours than with us'' said Carol seriously, the last time Maria had come to this house was when Damian left, otherwise, she rarely comes back.
''Are you forgetting what we wanted most when we were flying test planes in '88?''' asked Maria.
''To make a difference, that's what we wanted, you find something you want more than that, but for me, it's still my desire,'' Maria said.
''While I also admit that I have become a workaholic, and I should balance my life more and spend more time with the people who are important to me," Maria sighed.
''I'm sorry, tell me what's wrong,'' Maria said, smiling at Carol and trying to cajole her.
''Hmph, you'd better live up to what you say and come see me more often,'' Carol said, feigning annoyance as she tried to keep a smile off her face.
