Prologue: PRIMROSE

I Can't Live Without You

"May he rest in peace."

A crowd of people slowly diminish in numbers, others just came for the press as it is the funeral of Bruce Wayne's adopted son, some like Clark Kent gave his sincere condolences towards his best friend for the death of his son. The billionaire and Gotham's most feared vigilante is down on his knees, his son... is dead! Bruce wanted to wake up, wanted to see those mischief filled turquoise eyes again. His son... It isn't fair! He wanted to kill him! That damn clown! But he can't... he just can't...

Alfred Pennyworth felt the weight of his age is starting to catch up as Barbara Gordon held him. So young... so very very young indeed! The butler never thought hat one of his fears were to came true, oh how he wished it didn't!

In the midst of the turmoil, a young woman in full black attire stood in front of the grave. Her blue eyes were filled with sadness, she gently placed a hand over her slightly bulging stomach. Why? Why did he have to die!? Rachel "Dixie" Grayson, known as Nightwing, is pregnant and the father is the late Robin, Jason Peter Todd.

"Jason..." Rachel cried as her best friends Kory and Wally held her as she nearly collapsed "Jason why!? Don't leave me!" memories of her parents and him were flashing in her mind "Come back... come back!"

Several people pitied at the young woman's plight; some however are more or less cruel for she and her supposed brother had a child and they're still too young! Jason is 18 whilst Rachel is 20, nearing 21. Really, had Bruce Wayne taught them no manners or discipline!?

Wally had enough of them "Shut up! Leave her alone! Her boyfriend just DIED and you people are just criticizing their decisions in a funeral no less! How much disrespectful can you oldies get!?" they hurriedly left "Yeah just run! We don't need those cronies anyways!"

Roy fixed Wally a glare "Wally enough, they're not worth it." Wally huffed as Roy turns towards Rachel "Dixie... we're going to be there for you so don't worry... Not that I um-" Kory and Donna stomped on his foot "Sorry..." talk about TWO metas stomping on his foot!

Rachel felt grateful, her friends are always there to support her. She can count on them always but...

Things aren't that much simple as busting bad guys or taking them to prison (she'd hoped that the stupid court would already execute that bastard!). She's pregnant and the baby's father is six feet below the ground! Looking up, she recall that certain conversation she had with Jason about the baby. Their baby.

"Y-You're pregnant?" Jason asked her, mouth wide open as Rachel nodded meekly "Is that a joke Dix!? Cause it ain't as hell April fool's day"

"I know we're young and you are much younger... it's okay if you can just leave... I know we can't ke-" Rachel yelped as Jason launched towards her, hugging her with... is he smiling?

Jason gently held her face, the face he love so much "Why the hell would I leave you? I love you ya know? I'm not just gonna leave someone just because of that. My shitty old man left me and mom, I don't want to be like him, I'm not gonna walk out on you and our baby. It's eeer my fault... mostly.." he sheepishly grin.

Rachel embraced him tightly. She is so lucky!

"But what about Bruce?..." that's right their mentor and adopted father, what will he react!?

"Who the fuck cares!? Even if he won't support us, I don't mind. I'm 18 anyways so I can always get a job from the mechanics or something." Here Jason petted her flat stomach "What if... I'm not gonna be a good dad and I... I'll end up like him..."

She couldn't believe her ears, how could he say that!? "Jason! Jaybird, you're nothing like him! You didn't walked out on us and you're thinking of taking a job to support us! You're going to be a wonderful dad!"

Jason then hug her "And I know you'll be the best mom for the little kid." he once again petted her stomach "So make sure not to hurt your mommy okay kid? Cause daddy won't hold back on his training with you all right?"

Bruce didn't kicked them out, disown them etc. He does love his children after all but he is VERY disappointed about the situation as they are too young to have babies. Jason ended up having the more highly advanced talk with Rachel (they looked like they wanted to dunk themselves in bleach after the said talk) and studying his academics double time so he can work at Wayne's enterprise because he is after all Bruce's legal adopted son. (Bruce made it clear that no grandson or granddaughter of his will live on the joint salary of a policewoman and a mechanic, Jason and Rachel weren't sure if they should be insulted or not.)

Sadly it will never happen. Jason would never be there for their baby or the wedding they've always wanted once Jason graduates from college.

"Y-You promised...damn it lil' Wing..." if only she or Bruce had stopped him!

"My real mom! This is great Dix!" Jason enveloped her in his embrace "My real mom is alive... our baby can meet his grandma!"

Rachel felt so uneasy about this Sheila Haywood. She felt like something would go on wrong. Alas, she ignored it as she couldn't bear to destroy Jason's bubble of happiness.

"That's great Jay..." she trailed off "That's great...
