Jason quickly makes it clear that that's not a fucking option when he dislocates Dick's shoulder. Dick tries to subdue Jason, but then the deepest alpha growl they've ever heard aside from ofc Bruce's reverbs through the cave. It's Tim. +
But that means that he has bats randomly butting into his business It all comes to a head when Dick mistakenly gets one of his dealers arrested. He storms the cave and starts swinging. Dick, of course, tries to go easy on him. +
He doesn't tell anyone his decision at first, he has about a week before his dr appointment, and that's when everything goes a bit haywire He doesn't stop going out of course, because there's no point trying to protect something that doesn't exist yet and won't become something. +
But this is also proof he and Tim are compatible on a base base level, and would be a reason for Tim to stick close. Of course, as soon as he has the 2nd thought it cements his decision because he will Never have a kid to serve a selfish purpose. +
(neither Tim nor Jason realize they are actually dating because they both are afraid to put a name to it) so he feels alone. This feeling only compounds because in the process of refusing to put a name to it he and Tim will randomly go stretches without seeing each other. +
honestly in the first place, his lifestyle doesn't support pup rearing in any capacity except financially. He maybe one day would adopt an older pup. But now? He's terrified, and he's only mated on technicality +
It's simultaneously the easiest and hardest decision he's ever made- pregnancy scares him, first of all. Second of all, he doesn't know what the pit in his veins means for a kid and he is Not Equipped to deal with a special needs kid and he fully recognizes that. +
they're immediately up in arms. They have. No idea who it could be, and that worries them. Not that they have any right to care, which Jason makes very explicit to them. And also. Jason's NOT intending to keep the pup. +
and I can't decide if it's better or worse if a bat notices before Jason or maybe Tim notices before Jason or Jason notices first In any case, technically Tim's instincts notice first and he starts. Well. Acting more like Jason's alpha. And when Bruce and Dick find out +
and then ofc tim and jason hide that they are now mate bonded bc they each think the other didn't want it and miscommunication but their bond has them hurting when they're apart and then they start -dating- fucking in secret and then! Jason gets pregnant +
