I AM SO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG.
There were two ways this story could've gone, and I've decided to stick with my initial idea. But you'll find out what that is in a few more chapters...
Roxanne smiled when she came to the battered front door to her apartment. It had been almost a month since Megamind had smashed his way into her home, and now she was living with him in Evil Lair. If she'd been told that her life was going to take such a strange turn, she never would have believed it.
The brunette unlocked the door, walking into the lounge. Megamind had offered to have Minion pick up her things, but she'd assured him that she would rather do the job herself. Plus there were a lot of 'lady things' that she didn't want to bother either of the guys with.
The pill being one in particular; Roxanne was usually so organised when it came to taking them, but the sudden change in her living arrangements had caused her to forget about them completely. She thought she was over that weird virus, but now it was coming back with a vengeance. Part of her had been horrified when she threw up out of nowhere one morning, paranoid that it could've been something else.
No, it was impossible. He wasn't even human, how could she be pregnant? Another terrifying thought surfaced; was this what he'd wanted all along? Did Megamind want her as his queen, just so he could sire some kind of heir..? She shook her head. It was ridiculous; so ridiculous in fact that the ex-reporter found herself laughing out loud.
Megamind was smart, but he wasn't calculating. He was bad, but he wasn't evil.
Roxanne giggled making her way to the bathroom with her shopping bag. On the way back to her old apartment, she'd dropped into one of the pharmacies and bought a number of different pregnancy tests. They weren't going to be positive anyway, so once they all showed the little negative signs she could just stop worrying about it.
Once the tests had all been 'activated', Roxanne set them down on the side of the sink. There was a faint tapping that sounded like it was coming from her balcony window. "Oh Megamind, you just couldn't resist..." She smiled. Roxanne gave the tests a fleeting look, before grabbing and stuffing them into one of the bathroom cabinets. Just in case.
The brunette left the bathroom, walking through the lounge and towards the large glass doors to the balconette. A large silhouette made her pause. "Wayne..?" She reached out, pushing the doors open, and felt a flicker of fear when she noticed the sadness in his eyes. Had something happened? "W-What's wrong..?" Please don't be Megamind... Please don't tell me something's happened to him...
Wayne walked in, his usual confident gait completely abandoned. Something was wrong, and not knowing was simply torture. "Oh, Roxie..." He flopped down onto her sofa, and the sudden action caused the floor to rumble.
"Wayne, what's wrong? Has something happened to-"
"What? No, no..." He waved a hand dismissively. "This has nothing to do with your boyfriend." His mouth twitched in a smile, and Roxanne found herself smiling too.
"Y-You know about us, then..."
"Kind of hard not to. You're the talk of the town!" He grinned. "I just... I've not really got anyone else to talk to about this..."
"About what?" All her initials fears had subsided, but her natural curiosity was getting to her. "Hey, you came here to talk, so let's talk!" She started walking towards the kitchenette. "I'll put some coffee on."
"Thanks, Roxie..."
After a few minutes Roxanne came back with two steaming mugs. She set one down on the table in front of him. "So, what's troubling you?" Wayne had always been a good friend; he'd helped her afford her first rent check on this apartment for god's sake. It would be terrible of her not to at least give him an ear to bend; he looked like he needed it.
Roxanne thought for a moment; there wasn't anyone else he could turn to..? He'd never mentioned friends, and as far as she knew he didn't go out drinking with buddies, in fact his private life was a complete mystery. She'd known the man for years, and still knew nothing about him.
"The thing is..." The brunette turned her head slightly, watching him. "This is gonna sound so selfish..." He ran a massive hand over his face. "I... Don't think I can do this anymore."
"Do what..?" Roxanne wasn't stupid, but she wanted to hear him say it. "What don't you think you can do anymore?"
"This!" He gestured to himself, the tassels on his gloves dancing back and forth. "This charade!" Wayne slumped against the sofa; the leather squeaked in protest as his colossal frame buried deeper into the backrest.
"Oh..." Was all she could say.
"Oh is right..." He folded his arms, frowning. "I just feel so stuck, y'know? Stuck in a job I don't even-" His eyebrows shot up and he turned to Roxanne. "Oh god, here's me whining about my problems, and you lost your job!"
Roxanne shook her head smiling. "Hey, that was weeks ago, I'm over it." She took a sip of her coffee, remembering the press coverage at the time; she still hadn't bothered to find out who the asshole was who'd snuck up and recorded her. "Anyway, you didn't come here just to talk about me."
"I know... It was such a dick move of them to fire you, though." Roxanne sniggered at his language; this was a side of him the public never saw. "And I didn't know you could be so bad!" He nudged her playfully.
"Yeah well... I guess my fiancee's rubbed off on me..." She bit her lip, smiling.
"F-Fiancee..?" He quickly stood up off the sofa. "Oh my god, really? I-I'm so happy for you Roxie!" He picked her up, almost spilling her coffee, and pulled her into a huge bear hug. "I can't believe it!"
"Hey hey! Settle down!" She tried to keep her cup upright as he spun her in circles. "I'm gonna throw up if you don't stop that!" He abruptly ceased his actions, setting her back down on her feet. "Thanks..." She sighed, setting down her drink.
"You and Megamind, huh? I wondered how long it'd take you guys..." Wayne grinned, sitting back down.
"What do you mean..?"
"Well, it's obvious he's been crushing on you for years, and you always seemed to be having a bit too much fun playing villain and hostage..." Roxanne fixed him with an unimpressed look. "Hey, don't blame me, everyone kind of had the feeling something was going on there."
"What do you mean 'everyone'?"
"Everyone everyone? C'mon, you're a reporter, you must've read the tabloid gossip at some point." She shook her head. "Really..?"
"Never. I was tempted, sure. But you hear about these celebrities that go nuts reading all the little things people make up about them. I didn't want to get involved in all that..."
"Oh, wow, lucky you." Roxanne raised an eyebrow. "It's just... There were quite a few weird stories at one point. Back in the early days, I mean."
"...like?"
"Uhm... Oh jeez, Roxie, you're really putting me on the spot here..." He shifted awkwardly, picking up his coffee and taking a huge gulp. "Well... Y'know that time really early in your career..? When you were a little bit..." He coughed nervously, not wishing to offend her. "B-Bigger..?"
"Yes..." She took a deep breath, feeling her hormones start to bubble up.
"There was this one story- Nobody even really believed it-"
"What, Wayne?" Roxanne was starting to lose her temper. "Just spit it out!"
"They thought Megamind might've... Knocked you up." There was an eerie silence, and the colossal man kept sneaking glances at the brunette. "You OK..?" She nodded dumbly. "Good."
"They really thought he'd taken advantage of me like that..?" She suddenly screamed. How dare they?
"This was before everyone knew he was harmless, Roxie. They know now that his only target is me, and he's never been able to beat me so... There's no reason for them to think he's dangerous." Wayne sagged against the backrest of the sofa with a sigh.
Roxanne looked at him, registering the look in his eyes. "You really don't want to do this anymore, do you..?" He shook his head. "I... I think I might have an idea, Wayne."
Roxanne made her way back to Evil Lair, all her boxes placed neatly in the backseat of the invisible car; Megamind had given her the keys that morning, assuring her that what was his was now hers. She wished she could've said the same, but didn't believe he'd find much use for half a dozen cow-print kitchen towels, or her vast collection of cat figurines.
She zipped through the holographic wall, and parked the Hudson up, leaving her things inside. She could unpack properly later, first she really needed to speak with Megamind. Roxanne took a plastic bag out of the backseat; it was filled with the used pregnancy tests.
All of them positive.
The ex reporter made her way through the main portion of the lair; hearing only silence her heart began to race. She signalled a nearby brainbot. "Hey, tell me where daddy is?" Roxanne had practically died laughing the first time Megamind referred to himself as 'daddy' around the cyborgs. The little creations had warmed to her very quickly, and there wasn't a doubt in her mind that logically she now came under the title of 'mommy'.
Mommy, oh jesus christ, she was going to be a mommy...
Roxanne followed the floating beartrap anxiously. What was he going to think? Would he be pleased? Horrified? Elated? Suddenly the mental image of him building spiky cradles, and prams with built in lasers crossed her mind, and she snorted aloud. But was he ready? Were either of them really ready?
The little robot led her up the stairs to a mostly unused attic space. Roxanne's heart hammered in her chest when she caught a glimpse of Megamind who was doodling something on a drafting table with Minion beside him.
"Ollo~" She chanced with a smile. Megamind whipped round, his cape almost tangling him up in the movement.
"R-Roxanne!" He sped over, wrapping his arms around her. "Oh, I missed you so much..."
"Sir, it's only been two hours..." Minion rolled his eyes with a smile. Megamind was so smitten, and it brought him a sense of fulfilment to see his master this happy. The fish edged out of the room, leaving the two alone.
"I missed you too, baby..." Roxanne slung an arm around his neck, pulling him closer; he wasn't wearing his trademark spiny armour, and she was thankful. She loved to cuddle him like this, without having to worry about injury. It was cute that he'd made Minion fashion a new mantle, and gloves just for the purpose of in-lair canoodling.
A fly suddenly began buzzing around the pair, and Megamind huffed. "Ugh, just a sec, sweetie..." He walked over to one of the small windows, grabbing a sheet of paper as he started shooing the insect out. Shit. He wouldn't even hurt a fly. How was this idea with Wayne ever going to work..?
"Honey..."
"Yes, my evil angel?"
Roxanne grinned at that. "Well, I was thinking..."
"Oh, don't keep me in suspense, my dear!" He mounted one of the tables, flapping the paper wildly. "Honestly, they get in easy enough, but they're too stupid to get out again..." The blue man grumbled.
"Uhm, I was thinking, I've got no idea what to get you for a wedding present!"
"Oh, you don't need to get me a thing!" He quickly snapped the window shut as soon as the fly shot outside. "Just having you around is all the gift I'll ever need..." He jumped down, and took her in his arms again, pressing soft, needy kisses up her neck.
"W-What if..." She tried to stop her eyes rolling back from the pleasure he was causing her with every little nip and kiss. "What if I gave you something no one else could give you. What if I gave you something you've always wanted..?" What if I could help you get rid of the hero...
"Roxanne." He pulled back to look her in the eye. "You are what I've always wanted."
"Really..? But what about Metro Man?"
"Ugh, no, I don't want him!" He chuckled at her deadpan expression. "No, I understand your meaning, dear. But he could drop off the face of the Earth tomorrow, and I wouldn't bat an eyelid; you're the only one who matters right now."
"You sure know how to make a girl feel special..." She grinned, nuzzling into his chest; maybe this would work after all...
"Of course I do." He replied smugly, stroking her hair. "Hey, what's that..?" He queried, spotting the bag in her hand.
Roxanne's eyes widened. "Oh, well..." She went over to the door, making sure Minion wasn't on his way back. "Come here..!" She dragged the confused looking man over to one of the tables, pushing the blueprints out of the way before turning the bag upside down.
The tests fell with a clatter, and she braced herself awaiting his reaction.
The last thing Megamind remembered was the floor rushing towards him.
"Sir..? Sir?" Megamind felt a large pair of metal hands shaking him awake. "Wake up!"
"Bah!" He shot up with a start, holding his head. "R-Roxanne, where's Roxanne?" He attempted to stand, but Minion held him down.
"Sir, she's fine; eating dinner. You've been out for a while now. You hit your head pretty hard, sir... Don't get up just yet."
"I-I have to! I've g-got to talk to her, Minion!"
"What did I just say..?" Minion gave him the stink eye, and the blue man knew better than to argue. "That's better. I'll be back in just a minute; don't go anywhere." Megamind nodded.
As soon as he heard the mechanical footsteps of his minion ebb away, he shot to his feet; he glanced at the nearby table, noticing the tests were all gone before rushing down the stairs, and towards the dining room.
But she wasn't there.
He darted across the lair, yanking open door after door until he stopped in his tracks hearing the faint hiss of water; she was taking a shower! Megamind almost ripped the door off it's hinges in his excitement.
"Roxanne?"
The brunette quickly pulled the shower curtain in front of herself.
"Look, I know what happened back there might've... upset you, even annoyed you!" He furrowed his brow, pressing on. "But it was purely a biological reaction; my psychological reaction was one of pure joy..!" He took a few tentative steps toward her. "You have to believe me when I say this is the best wedding present I ever could've asked for..."
"Megamind..." She sighed. Her eyes widened when he pulled back the shower curtain and stepped into the bath, curling his arms around her. "W-What are you-" She jumped slightly in surprise when his lips silenced her.
The kiss was long, and slow; his gloved hands found their way into her hair, and Roxanne moaned softly, opening her mouth. His tongue slid in, gently massaging her own until they both broke apart, breathless.
"I'm going to be a dad..." A smile stretched across his face slowly, and Roxanne nodded, feeling her own mouth curl up. "We're going to have a baby..!" He started jumping up and down, enthusiastically.
The brunette giggled, still feeling the stream of hot water trickling against her skin. "You really think we're ready?" She asked, grinning.
"Oh, it can't be that difficult..." He waved a hand dismissively. "I fully understood cold fusion at the age of three; this will be a piece of pie~"
"Cake." She corrected him, still grinning from ear to ear.
"Ah yes. I do believe when it comes to the basics of the human vernacular, you might be the one best suited to teach said subject." Roxanne raised an eyebrow. "Well we can't have little Roxie Jr going to school butchering words left right and center, can we?"
"Roxie Jr..?" The ex-reporter gave him her best deadpan look, but couldn't keep it up before she lapsed back into a fit of giggles. "How're you so sure we're not gonna have a mini Megamind?"
His eyebrows rose. "I-I suppose that is an equal possibility..." A little version of him, but with her eyes maybe? He felt a dopey expression start to form on his face, until he remembered something. "Wait, what happened to the tests? They weren't there when I woke up."
"I stuffed them back in the bag, and threw it in the bin." He gave her a puzzled look. "I had to pee on them y'know? What did you want to do, frame them?"
"Maybe..." He looked off shyly, and Roxanne burst out laughing. "Oh, no..."
"What..?" She queried, tilting her head.
"That means Minion wasn't the one to throw them out, so he doesn't know... And I kind of ditched him just now when I woke up. He's not going to be very happy about that." He gave her a shy smile. "He explicitly told me not to go anywhere."
"SIR!" Came the voice of an obviously aggravated Minion on the other side of the door.
"Speaking of momma Minion..." Megamind huffed. "In here, you scaly son of a bitch!" He called out, giggling. He quickly jumped out of the shower, pulling the curtain across. Minion cracked the door open with a toothy pout. "Code: Cheer up! You're going to be an uncle!"
Minion frowned, not quite understanding; suddenly a wave of realisation crashed over him. "U-Uncle..?" His bulbous eyes widened.
Roxanne peeked her head out from around the shower curtain. "Yup. Now you've got a wedding and a baby shower to help organise!"
Minion started spinning in his bowl. "OH GOODNESS!" He did a few backflips, hardly believing what he'd heard. "A LITTLE SIR OR MISS?"
Megamind and Roxanne both started laughing as they watched the fish swimming in circles.

"Really..? But what about Metro Man?"

"Sir, she's fine; eating dinner. You've been out for a while now. You hit your head pretty hard, sir... Don't get up just yet."
"I-I have to! I've g-got to talk to her, Minion!"
"What did I just say..?" Minion gave him the stink eye, and the blue man knew better than to argue. "That's better. I'll be back in just a minute; don't go anywhere." Megamind nodded.
As soon as he heard the mechanical footsteps of his minion ebb away, he shot to his feet; he glanced at the nearby table, noticing the tests were all gone before rushing down the stairs, and towards the dining room.
But she wasn't there.
He darted across the lair, yanking open door after door until he stopped in his tracks hearing the faint hiss of water; she was taking a shower! Megamind almost ripped the door off it's hinges in his excitement.
"Roxanne?"
The brunette quickly pulled the shower curtain in front of herself.
"Look, I know what happened back there might've... upset you, even annoyed you!" He furrowed his brow, pressing on. "But it was purely a biological reaction; my psychological reaction was one of pure joy..!" He took a few tentative steps toward her. "You have to believe me when I say this is the best wedding present I ever could've asked for..."
"Megamind..." She sighed. Her eyes widened when he pulled back the shower curtain and stepped into the bath, curling his arms around her. "W-What are you-" She jumped slightly in surprise when his lips silenced her.
The kiss was long, and slow; his gloved hands found their way into her hair, and Roxanne moaned softly, opening her mouth. His tongue slid in, gently massaging her own until they both broke apart, breathless.
"I'm going to be a dad..." A smile stretched across his face slowly, and Roxanne nodded, feeling her own mouth curl up. "We're going to have a baby..!" He started jumping up and down, enthusiastically.
The brunette giggled, still feeling the stream of hot water trickling against her skin. "You really think we're ready?" She asked, grinning.
"Oh, it can't be that difficult..." He waved a hand dismissively. "I fully understood cold fusion at the age of three; this will be a piece of pie~"
"Cake." She corrected him, still grinning from ear to ear.
"Ah yes. I do believe when it comes to the basics of the human vernacular, you might be the one best suited to teach said subject." Roxanne raised an eyebrow. "Well we can't have little Roxie Jr going to school butchering words left right and center, can we?"
"Roxie Jr..?" The ex-reporter gave him her best deadpan look, but couldn't keep it up before she lapsed back into a fit of giggles. "How're you so sure we're not gonna have a mini Megamind?"
His eyebrows rose. "I-I suppose that is an equal possibility..." A little version of him, but with her eyes maybe? He felt a dopey expression start to form on his face, until he remembered something. "Wait, what happened to the tests? They weren't there when I woke up."
"I stuffed them back in the bag, and threw it in the bin." He gave her a puzzled look. "I had to pee on them y'know? What did you want to do, frame them?"
"Maybe..." He looked off shyly, and Roxanne burst out laughing. "Oh, no..."
"What..?" She queried, tilting her head.
"That means Minion wasn't the one to throw them out, so he doesn't know... And I kind of ditched him just now when I woke up. He's not going to be very happy about that." He gave her a shy smile. "He explicitly told me not to go anywhere."
"SIR!" Came the voice of an obviously aggravated Minion on the other side of the door.
"Speaking of momma Minion..." Megamind huffed. "In here, you scaly son of a bitch!" He called out, giggling. He quickly jumped out of the shower, pulling the curtain across. Minion cracked the door open with a toothy pout. "Code: Cheer up! You're going to be an uncle!"
Minion frowned, not quite understanding; suddenly a wave of realisation crashed over him. "U-Uncle..?" His bulbous eyes widened.
Roxanne peeked her head out from around the shower curtain. "Yup. Now you've got a wedding and a baby shower to help organise!"
Minion started spinning in his bowl. "OH GOODNESS!" He did a few backflips, hardly believing what he'd heard. "A LITTLE SIR OR MISS?"
Megamind and Roxanne both started laughing as they watched the fish swimming in circles.
