(( #42 – Star-crossed lovers + # 5 – One night stand and falling pregnant AU ))

First thoughts – does this actually have to be an AU?? Haha, this sounds pretty close to what could happen in the actual story line. Star crossed lovers means lovers who, due to circumstances, will never be able to truly be together: that certainly sounds like Mcsombra to me, as sad as that may seem. ;-; We’ve got a vigilante who might return to Overwatch and a criminal hacker whose motives are shrouded in mystery to the rest of the world but has Talon’s label all over her. 

Suppose that they did meet for a one night stand – maybe because McCree still doesn’t know who she really is. They just happen to be at the same bar one night and Sombra already knows who he is. He seems interested – she’s certainly interested. So they sleep together. 

Fast forward a few months later, Sombra finds out she’s pregnant. Who else could be responsible? Either way, it just wasn’t meant for them. Based on her latest sleuthing, McCree has been considering rejoining Overwatch. Even with her loyalties not actually with Talon, they’d be at opposite ends of the battlefield if they ever met again.

She can’t bring herself to get rid of the baby; what fault of is it of theirs? But she knows for a fact that this won’t remain a secret as long as she’s with Talon. Based on the things she knows (and has seen), such as with Widowmaker, she leaves cold turkey, making sure to get rid of anyone who might possibly have a trace on her. Like hell she’ll let them touch her or her kid. Leaving Castillo is inevitable as well but it’s for her own good…and the good of her unborn baby. 

Forward another few years, Sombra watches from her desk as her little one sleeps on the couch. Being paranoid for herself was tiring enough – being paranoid for two is exhausting. Still, she can’t imagine her life without them. Every day the kids resembles that Outlaw more and more. It often leaves her wanting: wanting her child to be able to meet their father, wanting that sort of stability in her life. 

However, Sombra knows that it’ll never be. Even if he wanted to somehow touch base again, he’d immediately be on his guard (understandably) when he realized she’d been with Talon. The closest thing she has now is setting up a plan that will ensure her child will be reunited with their father should anything ever happen to her. That’s all that matters at this point.
