Chapter 1: I Still Love

"Honey, I'm home," Bruce said as he came inside his home. His wife came to the door to greet him.

"Hi, dear," she said with a smile. They gave each other a quick smooch. "How was the meeting?"

"Interesting," Bruce admitted. They went into the living room and Bruce dropped his briefcase onto the couch. "Though if I had my way it would've ended earlier since I didn't need to be there THAT long."

"You knew the deal he was making last week, didn't you?" she asked.

"No, I just knew that he was getting the money illegally," he told her. "I just needed to have a closer look at his books." His wife smiled at him and he did too.

"I'm glad your home," she told him. "And I'm sure Damien and Sarah would agree." Then, as on cue, down the stairs came Damien Wayne.

"Father, Princess, my sister wants to see you two," Damien informed them. He had said Princess snobbishly and they had noticed it. "She's become quite…difficult."

"We'll be right up, right Bruce?" she responded.

"Right," Bruce smiled. They both made their ways up the stairs to the room of their four year old daughter. They both came went inside and they saw Sarah was playing with four dolls. They were the Joker, Harley Quinn, Batman and Wonder Woman.

"You take Harley Quinn, I'll take Joker," she said in her deep Batman voice.

"Sounds good, sweetie," Sarah said in her strong and sweet Wonder Woman voice. She dropped her Wonder Woman doll and picked up Joker.

"You're going back to Arkham, Joker," she said in her Batman voice.

"Make me Batsy," she said in a high Joker voice and then she did her Joker laugh. She faked a fight between Batman and Joker and eventually Joker "fell". She put down her Batman doll and picked up Harley and Wonder Woman.

"Time to die," she said in her squeaky Harley voice. She faked a fight between them and then Harley "fell" too. She picked up her Batman doll.

"You okay?" she said in her Batman voice.

"I am now sweetie," she said in her Wonder Woman voice. She then made them kiss several times.

"Is that how you think we act?" Bruce asked Sarah. Sarah looked up and saw her parents. "Mommy! Daddy!" She ran to her mother first and hugged and kissed her. Then she ran to her father and gave him a great big hug. "I'm glad your home!"

"I am too. Now, Damien tells me you've been being difficult for him," Bruce said. "Is that true?"

"Well…" she began. "I did replace his shampoo with glitter and then I accidentally threw water onto him." Bruce did his 'really' face. "He startled me! I didn't mean too. And then he said that Superman's a big baby and I said that he wasn't and we got into a big fight and then…"

"I think we get the idea," her mother interrupted. "Why did you replace his shampoo with glitter?"

"It's April Fool's Day," Sarah explained. "And Jason dared me! He said if I didn't do it he said he throw me off a cliff!"

"My little sun and stars, Jason wasn't being serious," Diana said sincerely. "He was joking."

"He was?" Sarah asked.

"Yes," Bruce said. "Even if he wasn't, you really think we'd let that happen?"

"No," Sarah admitted.

"Then don't worry about," Bruce responded.

"Everyone it's time for dinner!" a voice yelled.

"Coming, Alfred!" Bruce responded. He turned to his wife and his daughter. "Better not keep Alfred waiting." Sarah ran down the stairs and headed for the dinning room. While Bruce and Diana took their time as they walked down the stairs.

"I love you, Bruce," Diana said.

"I love you, too, Princess," Bruce responded. They went into a long, deep kissed and then it was broken by a noise.

Bruce's alarm clock went off and it woke him from his deep sleep and from his dream. He sighed as he turned off his alarm. He sat up in his bed and he saw on his dresser a small ring box. He took it off of his dresser and opened it. He sighed as he realized that it was the engagement ring he had meant to give her. He closed the box and placed it back on his dresser.

"Why did it all have to be a dream?" he wondered aloud. "And why do I still love her?"
