The day before 20 weeks gestation, she found Foggy in her apartment’s lobby. He was sitting on the floor. He wasn’t wearing cologne but had only stopped about three days before, he had been wearing some nice subtle scent with hints of leather and sandalwood. His suit was definitely higher quality, she could tell by the scent of the fabrics and the way it barely made a sound as he fidgeted with what he was carrying. Not his phone, she thought, but something larger.

She waited in the street for a few minutes while she tried to imagine how obviously pregnant she was. Most strangers still thought she was at a normal weight. Foggy knew her better than that. Foggy had been the one that coaxed her away from her room after Elektra demanded a last-minute transfer the week before Thanksgiving. He had dragged her to his own home for Thanksgiving and somehow made it sound like she was doing him a favor. That was when she had known that he’d be a fantastic lawyer.

Finally she gave up. Her stomach was growling and it was past time to eat. Without walls in her way, she could tell that Foggy seemed to be holding wine bottles.

“Hi,” Foggy said before she could think of what to say. “Look. I… I don’t have any right to ask, and you did what I wanted. It’s really shitty of me to expect that you might have come to me to ask for help just because… um…”

Mattie wasn’t sure if the next part of the discussion would involve fucking the Punisher, having sex with a client she was actively representing, leaving the case abruptly and letting Foggy defend the Punisher, being Daredevil at all, any of the times Foggy had been in danger because of her, being pregnant…

She’d missed him too much to care which one it was. He was here and he’d brought a bribe. Foggy seemed to think she’d ever need a present to take him back. “Want to come upstairs?” she offered. “I hear the view in this place is nearly as awful.”

Her apartment was smaller. It still was not the kind of thing a public defender should be able to afford. She could almost hear Foggy totaling up the kitchen and bedroom and living room and not matching the numbers to a defender’s salary. Even lawyers at Foggy’s new level would probably hear gossip about the blind public defender chick who always pounced when their client just bent the truth a little bit. He didn’t ask, so Mattie told him.

“I’m working as a public defender right now, but I’m living off of an inheritance,” she said into the silence. “Elektra…” Mattie swallowed all of the pain and anger and sorrow that always colored her first friend’s name. “She died. She left everything to me including a few cocktail dresses that always drew a reaction. None of those will fit just now.” She tugged the bottom of her shirt snug against her hips. Mattie was done keeping secrets from Foggy. If he didn’t like what she had to give, then he could leave again and her heart would break again and Rachel would probably notice she was sad and give her chocolate.

“Um. Mattie. Not to sound at all like I am judging who you might have chosen as a sexual partner, but…” Foggy set both bottles on the counter. “Frank?”

“Yeah,” Mattie said. “First I didn’t want to tell anyone. I didn’t know what I was going to do, really, but someone else at the public defender’s office came back from maternity leave. She’s been helping me out.”

“Can I hug you?” Foggy asked carefully.

Mattie half-tackled him in response. She somehow hadn’t noticed she didn’t touch people anymore. She was fiercely independent to try to keep well-meaning people from dragging her around by the elbow. She didn’t hug clients as a rule. She didn’t even have fist-fights to entertain herself with. At Fogwell’s, the few idiots who thought a pregnant woman shouldn’t go near a punching bag had been very thoroughly told off during the gym’s open hours. She hadn’t had to say a thing but was cheeky enough to flip out of the ring once. Nobody would think Daredevil was a blind pregnant chick. Almost everyone still thought Daredevil was a man. Her tricks of using an Ace bandage and layering shirts had most people thinking she was a very lean and pretty man. The fansite devotion to her rear end seemed to distract any talk of her chest.

“That’s why you stopped?” he asked. “The… you know. Getting punched.”

“Yeah. I mean, I can keep a full schedule, but I couldn’t… if I was going to end the pregnancy I wasn’t going to let someone else take the blame. Then I decided that making decisions for me first hadn’t gone so great either. I still don’t know if I can do this but I have a few ads from couples that want to adopt.”

“Mattie, if you want to be a mom, you will be a great mom,” Foggy promised. “I feel stupider that I didn’t talk to you weeks ago. First I thought you were just out of town. Then I thought you were hurt. Then I didn’t know what to think but you were taking cases as a public defender so I stopped thinking you were dead, but there might have been a night at Josie’s where I gave a very slurred eulogy for you. Karen made me shut up before I said anything bad.”

“You can tell her,” Mattie said quietly before he could ask. “For a while I thought I’d be mad if anyone came back because I was pregnant. Like I wasn’t enough, maybe, but… it’s for the kid, right? Mini Murdock could use an Uncle Foggy. Plus my obstetrician was starting to get nervous that I didn’t have an emergency contact.”

“That was part of how I got my act together,” Foggy admitted. “I didn’t know if you had anyone helping you. Even if you were still doing your thing… maybe we just needed better limits. We didn’t work too well when we weren’t talking about why we had specific priorities. If you start up after baby’s born, well, maybe I can babysit some nights.”

“I don’t know yet.” Mattie let go of Foggy to run the pads of her fingers over what he’d brought for her. “Smells like apples?”

“Carbonated apple juice, basically. No alcohol.”

“Thanks.” Mattie let Foggy poke through her cabinets to find the glasses. He pestered her for stories about life as a public defender before reciprocating with stories about life as a lawyer that made non-monopoly money. She was leaning on his shoulder when she finally asked.

“I have a repeat ultrasound tomorrow. The one where you can see the face. Can you come narrate for me tomorrow at about 4?”

“I will be there with bells on. Except not literally bells, obviously, because your super-hearing self probably wants to be developing hand-sonar so you can see your baby all on your own,” Foggy replied solemnly. He only lasted a moment before laughing. She let him pay for delivery and both of them agreed that he should practice narrating again, as it had been a while. Mattie ended up falling asleep halfway through The Princess Bride while he was still trying to describe the facial features of every character on the screen.

This is so awesome, a!a. I love love love what you've done. Car rides and long baths make for great brainstorming time in my experience. I hope your vacation was good!

I'm not a fan of Miller at all, and I agree that he likely would have had Mattie working corners (or at least back rooms) because he lived for making fenale characters into sex workers for the lulz. Also, DD is dark enough already, and I like that you're adding in happy things, like Rachel and Miles, reconsiling with Foggy, etc., because bad choices or not Mattie needs a support system and some sort of positive human interaction. DD is done for atm but for now Fisk and co are in jail or in hiding (though they obviously aren't gone forever), so while tgey still represent a threat it isn't immediate. We'll have to wait and see on Frank, which will be interesting. I'm curious about your take on him.

However, I have one criticism to make. As someone with a crossdressing history and theater background, as well as several transgender friends, I'd like to point out that binding with Ace Bandages is really a big no-no, like breathing issues and potentially deadly damage to ribs+lungs over time bad. Using a sports bra, corset, or a binder is the way to go, especially if Mattie was rather flat before the pregnancy made her tatas grow. She could probably use a good sports bra or an athletic binder, which are designed specifically to flatten things out and in the case of a binder to actively reshape a more masculine figure, and they're also specifically designed for active athletic usage. Ace bandage binding is liable to cause damage to an average person, much less someone who fights, parkours, and frequently has torso injuries ranging from broken ribs to bruising.

Yoooo, this fic is my jam! I'm excited to find out when Frank is gonna get the message and find out, or will he just stumble upon it by accident? Will he be happy, or too frightened of both the what ifs and what happened to his family to give Matt the love she wants.

Also Foggy+Matt reconciliation! That makes this fic A+++++ in my book! :D
