Hi y'all! I had a day off and I was in a mood, so I decided to type up something. I hope you all like it.
As usual I do not own Justice League or its characters.
Diana Wayne sat in the large bed she shared with her husband, gently holding their infant son in her hands. Her smile grew as she watched the baby yawn, gently stretching, before settling back into his mother's arms. It had been three months since his birth and she could have not imagined her life without him. He was the missing piece to her and Bruce's family, and now that he was here, she wanted to spend every waking moment staring at his beautiful face.
She had remembered when Allie was this age. Diana would constantly hold her, staring in silence at the beautiful little creature she and Bruce had created, however it would never last long. As soon as Bruce would enter the room, Allie would wake and start to fuss, only able to settle down once she was settled into her father's arm. If Alfred was in the room, both she and Bruce were lucky to even have a glimpse of the baby, and if the boys came by, the two of them could spend the day out and about without anyone noticing their absence.
When Allie had come into their lives, everyone had been ecstatic. The boys had been excited to finally have a sister, and Gotham was finally happy to have the first female Wayne born in generations. When their son had been born, Gotham was happy to know the Wayne name would continue.
Diana watched as the baby let out another small yawn, opening his eyes to meet his mother's, before he unconsciously gave her a tiny smile. When she had learned she was pregnant with their son, Diana was worried she wouldn't have enough love to give the new baby. She had loved Allie from the moment she had laid eyes on her, but having two kids would mean dividing that attention; She was worried Allie would get jealous. Fortunately, Allie was more than thrilled to have a baby brother, wanting to help Diana and Bruce with everything. She had even been very vocal about wanting to help name her brother.
Diana watched as the baby lifted his tiny fist, another smile on his face. "Why hello there," Diana said softly. One of her hands gently cradled the baby's head, while the other gently caressed his face. "Did someone have a good nap?" she asked, her smile widening when he smiled again, his eyes blinking to adjust to the light in the room.
She adjusted herself in the bed, crossing her legs, before placing him onto the bed in front of her. She gently caressed his dark hair with her finger, smiling when he stared back up at her. Like Allie, his eyes mirrored her own, bright and blue, inquisitive and curious about the world around him. However, that was where the similarities ended. In everything else, he was Bruce's double, from the unruly hair in the morning, to those expressive little eyebrows. There was absolutely no denying who was this child's father.
"Milo," Diana said quietly, continuing to stroke the baby's head. "Hello little one." Milo began to coo, kicking his feet happily as Diana began to laugh. He was an active little baby, and she knew if the boys ever got him into the Batcave to train, he would be a little force to be reckoned with.
She quickly lifted him to her face, placing multiple kisses on his chubby cheeks, her smile growing when she heard his small giggles. "My little monkey," she said, her eyes glancing over the costume he wore. It was Halloween, and although she had monitor duty that night, she and Bruce had promised Allie they would take her trick-or-treating, before heading to a party at Wayne Enterprises.
Diana continued to stare at Milo, wanting to study every inch of his little face. Allie had grown up far too soon, and she wanted to make sure she noticed each and every thing about Milo before he became too independent. If she could, she would freeze time, letting her stay like this with him.
"Mommy!" Diana heard from the hallway, causing her to look away from the baby and up at her cracked bedroom door. She waited a moment before the door swung open, revealing Allie, who was all dressed and ready to go out. "Look!" she said, running over to the bed and proudly displaying her costume. "Just like you!"
Diana smiled, pride displaying on her face. Allie was dressed in a smaller version of Diana's uniform, however Alfred had made sure to make it a little less revealing than her own. "You look amazing," Diana said, watching as her daughter beamed with pride. Diana knew Allie was proud to call Wonder Woman mom; She idolized her.
Allie nodded before she climbed into the bed next to her mother. "Milo," she said quietly, watching as her brother shifted his gaze from Diana to her. "He makes a cute monkey Mommy," she said, placing a kiss on Milo's forehead.
Diana chuckled and nodded, her heart warming when she saw how well her children got along. She and Bruce had been lucky. She had heard stories of siblings who hated each other, and she feared Allie would resent the new baby. "He sure does," Diana said, giving the baby another kiss on his cheek. "Where's your father?"
Allie pointed towards the doorway just as Bruce walked through the opening. Diana looked up at her husband, took in his costume, and began to laugh. He had been right, yellow was not his color, but he had lost a bet and now it was time to pay. "No," Bruce said, looking at his wife, "You don't get to laugh." He looked down at the yellow suit he was wearing, making sure his over sized yellow hat didn't fall, before he looked over at Diana. "Now, tell me again why I'm the one who has to wear this?"
Diana shrugged. "Because someone decided it would be fun to place a bet on our sparring, and you lost. So I got to decide what you two would wear," she said, nodding down to the baby in her arms.
Bruce sighed, knowing there was no way he was going to get out of wearing the costume, before he walked over to the bed and took a seat next to his wife. "Have you been up here this whole time?" he asked, glancing down at his son, smiling when he saw the baby give a small smile.
Diana nodded. Even though he was just as in love with Allie and Milo as his wife was, Bruce couldn't imagine why she would spend hours staring at them, watching as they slept, constantly wanting to hold both of them in her arms any chance she got. She had once told him it was because she had never known children in Themyscira, having been the only one for centuries, however the more he watched her with their children, the more he somewhat understood; She was fascinated by them, wanting to know how these tiny little creatures could be so full of life.
"You're going to be late for monitor duty," Bruce said, placing a kiss on his wife's bare shoulder.
Diana sighed and looked up at Bruce, her eyebrows furrowing in frustration. She didn't want to miss a moment with her children, but she knew her job with the League was also a priority. She kissed Milo's forehead once more before placing him into Bruce's open arms. She turned to kiss the top of Allie's head, smiling when the child giggled and wrapped her arms around Diana. "I'll miss you Mommy!," Allie said, squeezing Diana's waist. "Go save the world."
Diana looked over at Bruce and smiled. "I will, just for you my little sun and stars," she replied, kissing her daughter's forehead before she slipped off the bed. She grabbed her boots near the door and pulled them on, before she walked over to Bruce and the baby. "I expect Alfred to take pictures," she said to her husband, as he stood from the bed, placing the baby in the carrier strapped to his chest. "And you my little monkey," she said, grabbing her son's hand, smiling when his little fists wrapped around her index finger. "Behave yourself."
She looked up at Bruce and offered him a smile. "Be careful Princess," he said, kissing his wife.
Diana nodded, gently stroking Bruce's face, before she left the room. She knew he worried about her, as did Allie, but she had a job to do. She quickly walked down to the Batcave, where she teleported to the watchtower, ready to start a long monitor duty shift.
Diana sat in front of the large monitor, groaning as she rubbed the heel of her hand into her left eye. It had been a long day, and an even longer night, and there seemed to be no sign of an end in sight. Between the multiple robberies, fires, and vandalisms, Halloween was proving to be a busy night, which meant she wouldn't get home until well after both Allie and Milo were asleep. Even Bruce wouldn't be home, busy patrolling the streets of Gotham as Batman, making sure the city stayed safe this crazy night.
"I didn't know you were back."
Diana spun her chair around, giving a small smile to the man behind her. "Green Arrow," Diana said, acknowledging the man. "I was back last week," she said. After she had given birth, Clark and Bruce had made her take a few weeks off, wanting her to get back to one hundred percent, before returning to the league. Unlike after Allie, Diana was more than willing to take a few weeks off, wanting to spend time with her children, and needing more sleep now that there were two people she was responsible for. It hadn't helped that Milo had been a colicy baby, hardly sleeping for the first month of his life.
Green Arrow nodded, before he made his way over to the computer, watching as Diana pressed a few controls, before she turned her attention back to him. "What are you doing up here?"
She watched as he leaned against the controls, crossing his ankles and crossing his arms over his chest. "I owed Bruce a favor," he said, his voice dropping to a whisper so no one else in the room could hear him. "I figured you'd want to be with that baby for his first Halloween," he said, giving Diana a grin.
Diana raised an eyebrow. "Ollie," she began, placing a hand on his shoulder, "You don't have to."
Oliver shook his head. "Dinah would die if she had to spend a night away from the baby, and the little turd hasn't even been born," he said with a chuckle, causing Diana to smile. "Go ahead Diana. I'm pretty sure they'd love to see you."
Diana nodded and stood from her seat. "Thank you Oliver," she said, squeezing his shoulder gently. She quickly walked over to the transporter bay and entered in the coordinates for the Batcave, before teleporting to Gotham. When she had arrived in the Batcave, she glanced over at the giant computer, which was lit and full of files from a case Bruce and Tim were currently working on.
"Tim," she said, walking up to the young man, watching as he continued to work.
He typed on a few of the controls, before he glanced over his shoulder, a smile forming when he saw Diana standing behind him. "Hi Di," he said, pressing another few controls. "What are you doing back so soon?"
"Someone covered for me," she explained, placing her hand on the back of the chair. "Where are Bruce and the kids?"
"They're still at the party at Wayne Enterprises," Tim replied, not bothering to turn to face Diana. He was busy working on a case, and he knew the more time he put into it, the more time Bruce would be able to put into helping Diana with the new baby. He knew Bruce didn't want to miss a moment of his children's lives, but he also couldn't let Gotham's crime rate rise either, so he made it his mission to be a better partner, helping Bruce without complaint. Besides, he loved Allie and Milo, and he wanted them to have somewhat of a normal life with their father present, so he would work harder, if not for Bruce, than for Diana and the kids.
Diana, knowing how much time and effort Tim put into helping Bruce, placed a hand on Tim's shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Why aren't you at the party," she asked, crouching down to look over Tim's shoulder at the screen, trying to read some of the details of the case.
Tim glanced over at Diana and shrugged. "Someone's gotta work," he said with a smirk, watching as Diana let out a small chuckle before she patted his shoulder. She watched as he highlighted a line of text, marking that as an important detail to revisit, before he pulled up a map of the city.
"Don't work too late," she said, watching as he nodded, before she walked over to the end of the room. She grabbed the coat she had left there the previous night and slipped it on over her uniform, before heading to the stairs that would lead her into the manor. Without another word she made her way into the manor, bumping into Alfred on her way towards the front door.
"Ms. Diana," Alfred said, his arms protectively guarding the bowl of candy he held. "You're home early. Will you be joining Master Bruce and the young Waynes?" Diana nodded and tied the sash of her coat around her waist. "Very well," he said, digging into the bowl and pulling out a piece of chocolate. He handed it to her, watching as her eyes widened and her smile grew, before she snatched it out of his hands.
"Alfred, you're ruining my diet," she said with a smirk. She quickly unwrapped the small piece of chocolate and popped it into her mouth. "You're a bad influence."
Alfred shook his head with a grin. "Nonsense," he said, handing Diana another piece of chocolate, which she grabbed and placed into the pocket of her coat. "Will you be needing a ride to Wayne Enterprises?"
Diana shook her head and opened the door, a smile on her face when she saw a group of children dressed in various costumes walking up to the door. She heard them whisper to themselves, all excited to see Wonder Woman in person, before she took off, flying towards her husband's place of work.
She landed in front of the building a few minutes later, smiling when she saw a few of Bruce's coworkers and their families glance her way, each of them dressed in a costume. She spotted Lucius Fox, Bruce's business manager, on the other side of the glass door and gave him a small wave, watching as he waved back with a smile. He was one of the few who knew about Bruce's nighttime activities, and when the two had married, he had made it a point to have a one on one with Diana and explain how she could trust him with Bruce's secret.
"Diana," Lucius said, opening the door to his boss' wife. "Bruce told me you had other business to attend to."
Diana walked into the door, smiling at the security guard who had been stationed at the entrance, keeping the press and other unwanted people out of the building. "I was able to leave early and join the party," she replied, letting the door close behind her. She followed Lucius, who was dressed in a nice grey suit, untied her coat and pulled it off, holding it in her arms as she walked into the main lobby of Wayne Enterprises.
"Shouldn't you be wearing a costume," Lucius asked, opening his arms, silently asking for Diana's coat.
She quickly handed it to him, offering him another smile, before she shrugged and pointed to her uniform. She watched as Lucius shook his head, not finding her work attire acceptable, before he grinned. "Shouldn't you also be wearing one?" she asked, scanning the crowd for her husband and children.
"Touche," Lucius said, pointing to the end of the room where Bruce stood, Milo in his arms, watching the people around him with wide eyes. He watched as Diana chuckled, before she placed a hand on his shoulder, thanking him, and walked off towards her husband.
As she made her way to Bruce, she could hear a few people murmuring, whispering her name every so often. It was no secret that Bruce Wayne was married to Wonder Woman. Nearly everyone that worked at Wayne Enterprises had met Diana; She was known to come into the office to surprise Bruce with lunch every so often, and with her friendly demeanor, she made everyone she came in contact with love her. However, for some of the children and families of Wayne Enterprises employees, this was their first encounter with the Amazon, so she made sure she carried herself gracefully, offering a smile to everyone who looked her way.
"Why hello my little sun and stars," Diana said, finally stopping in front of Bruce and the baby. She watched as Milo began to smile, happy to see his mother; Diana would always tell Bruce that she was his favorite, just as he was Allie's. "I've missed your little face," she said, plucking him out of Bruce's arm.
"So you sweet talk him but can't even give your dear husband a kiss?" Diana looked up at her husband, smiling when she saw he was still in the yellow suit, minus the large brimmed hat. Without a word she placed her lips onto his, quickly kissing him, before she pulled away. "Na uh," Bruce whispered, placing his hands on Diana's hips. He pulled her close, claiming her lips once more, not caring that they had a few spectators. "Much better," he said when they were done, watching as Diana blushed before she smiled. "I take it Oliver took your shift?"
Diana nodded, kissing Milo's cheek, before she scanned the room for her daughter. "You didn't have to do that," she said. She knew he could have let her finish her monitor shift, but she was grateful that he had gotten someone else to cover for her. She wouldn't tell Bruce, partially because she wasn't sure of the decision herself, but she was thinking of becoming a part-time member. She knew it was a decision she shouldn't take lightly, nor would Bruce be too happy about it, but she also knew she had a family to raise now.
Bruce nodded, glancing over her shoulder. "I know Princess," he replied, reaching over the counter to grab the glass of scotch that had been sitting there. "But I'm glad you're here." He took a sip from the glass, letting the liquid burn his throat, before he offered his wife a smile. He knew what she was thinking when it came to her position in the League, but it was a decision she needed to come to herself. He knew the Amazon in her would continue to fight for those who needed protection, but the mother in her wanted to make sure her family remained safe.
"Where's Allie?" Diana asked, looking over the room, wondering where their daughter had run off to.
Bruce nodded over his wife's shoulder, pointing to four year old who was running around with a handful of other kids, laughing and playing along. Diana turned to see her daughter, her lips turning into a smile when Allie stopped running and waved at her. She gave her daughter a nod, telling her to continue her play, before she watched the child run back to the group of children, laughing as she dodged a few older employees.
Diana watched her daughter continue to play with the other children, a few of whom were dressed like some of the members of the League. "Oh he's absolutely beautiful." Diana turned her attention away from the kids, her eyes meeting those of one of Bruce's committee members. "He looks just like Brucie when he was a baby." Diana watched as the older woman, Emily Reed, fawned over Milo. Bruce had explained how Emily, and her husband Jonathan, had been a part of Wayne Enterprises since his father had inherited the company before Bruce's birth. "I bet he's a handful."
Diana nodded. "Oh he is. Just like his father." Diana looked over her shoulder at Bruce, watching as he spoke with Lucius and a few other coworkers, before she gave him a wink. He returned it with a grin, taking a sip from the glass in his hand, before he eyed the group of kids who were now seated, enjoying a cup of ice cream.
Diana watched as Emily walked away, joining her husband near the table full of food, before she turned to her husband. "That one is getting a little too close for my liking," Bruce said, nodding towards Allie and the boy she had been playing with all night.
Diana followed his gaze, laughing when she saw the child Bruce was referring to. His mask covered half his face, and although his cape covered his body, Diana could see the bat symbol in the middle of his costume. "She has excellent taste," she said, turning back to face Bruce, "Just like her mother." She gave Bruce another wink before she handed him the baby, who was starting to fall asleep in her arms. "It's starting to get late."
Bruce nodded, placing the empty scotch glass on the table besides him. He opened his mouth to speak, however the sounds of gunshots filled the air, followed by screaming. Milo quickly woke up and began to cry, screaming as the yells and screams from the people around him continued to startle him.
Diana quickly turned around, needing to make sure Allie was okay. She saw her daughter on the floor, along with the other kids, a few adults laying on top of them, shielding them from any further gunshots. She watched as Allie's head lifted, her young face meeting hers, their eyes locking. She was scared, but Diana was going to make sure she got her out of there, safe and sound.
She took a step towards the group, ignoring the warning from Bruce behind her, before the deafening sound of an explosion filled her ears. She quickly looked up and noticed where the bomb had gone off, before she took in the debris falling from the roof. There was a large chunk of concrete that began to fall, fast, and it was headed straight for Allie.
Diana watched in horror, as the concrete continued to fall, as if in slow motion, her feet unable to move. She had to do something, or her daughter and the other kids would be crushed. Allie outstretched her hand, calling out to Diana, trying to get her mother to save her, before her world went dark.
I'm sorry guys. It's nearly 1:00 AM here and I have work in the morning. I was really intent on making this a cute little one-shot but I decided to split it up into a two part. Review and tell me what you thought. It means so much to me!
Thanks!
