A/N: well here's the deal I'm obsessed with batgirl fics but no one has a romance being written between them, I already attempted to start a story or a Bruce/Babs romance but failed horribly so if anyone has any ideas please let me know I have a ton rattling around in my head but they are just snippets here and there. Like this one for instance, its post TDK Barbara Gordon has returned from college but I have no idea how to start her story so I started in the middle where she and Bruce Wayne are dating they had already told Gordon. But he had no idea that his daughter was batgirl. Dick is younger is this fic. I might write a beginning to this story and keep writing it if people give me some good ideas.

Two gunshots split through the air. Batgirl's eyes widened in fear but there was no impact. Then batman was falling. He had taken the bullets for her.

"No" she screamed as he hit the ground. The guy who had shot him ran.

She fell to her knees beside Batman, and pulled his head into her lap. His eyes were closed, but he was breathing. She pulled her hand from beneath him to grab her phone.

She dialed Alfred. It rung five times and went to voicemail. She dialed dick's cell. It went to voicemail.

"Shit" she said under her breath. She had no idea what to do. She looked at her hand, it was coated in Bruce's blood. She was out of options. She picked up her phone again and dialed her last chance.

"Commissioner Gordon speaking" he said picking up the phone

"Dad?" Barbara said into the phone

"Babs?" he asked

"Dad I need your help, now" she said panic creeping into her voice. Bruce was bleeding out and she had no idea if both bullets had hit him. There was no way she could get him to the tumbler by herself it was two blocks away.

"Barbara what's wrong?" he asked panic starting to break through his calm demeanor.

"I need you to get here now, come alone. I'm in the narrows three blocks west from arkham." Barbara said and hung up the phone.

She turned back to Bruce who was laying there in her arms. She shouldn't have told him tonight she could've waited until they had gotten home. He had thrown himself in front of her to protect her and their unborn child. She was only a little over a month pregnant. Tears began to fall down her cheeks as she imagined the worst and him dying. But he couldn't die. He was batman. Batman was incorruptible, indestructible.

She didn't know how long she had sat there crying cradling Bruce's head to her body but soon enough she heard sirens and a car pulling up at the end of the alley. Then footsteps.

Gordon had arrived at the street that Barbara had told him to and he saw to figures on the ground in the alley. He ran, as he got close enough to see who it was he stopped dead in his tracks. It was batman and batgirl on the ground. And by the looks of it batman was hurt, bad.

Barbara turned to the sound and saw Gordon standing there.

"Dad?" she whispered

Gordon froze, Barbara was batgirl.

"Dad help me he's bleeding out, I can't lift him he's too heavy."

Gordon kneeled beside Barbara. He could see that she was crying, and she had blood all over her.

"Are you hurt?" he asked her

"It's not my blood," she said and lifted his shoulders. "Help me get him to the car," she said

Gordon helped lift batman's shoulders and together with him between them, they dragged batman to the car. Barbara got into the back seat and put batman's head in her lap. Gordon closed the door and ran around to the driver's side. He was in and driving in no time.

He headed towards the hospital.

"Dad where are you going?" Barbara asked

"The hospital" he said gruffly.

"No, take us to the palisades" she said with finality

"What why?" Gordon asked glancing back at her

"He can get care there," she said and Gordon did not question her any further.

They rode in silence for a few minutes but then there was a rough gasp. Batman's eyes flew open.

"Oh thank god" Barbara exclaimed hugging his head to her chest, "You're an idiot" she scolded him

"I'm the idiot, you should've told me before tonight," he said quietly "what happened?" he asked looking at his surroundings. He was in a car, a cop car. Specifically Gordon's car.

"You jumped in front of me and took two bullets to the chest," Barbara said still cradling his head with tears running down her cheeks.

"Well that explains the pain" batman said matter or factly he glanced at her face. She was crying.

Gordon was watching the exchange in his rearview mirror.

Batman lifted a hand and wiped away a tear. "You're crying," he stated

"Duh I'm crying, I love you and you just got shot twice, you've lost a lot of blood," she said with a sniffle

"Babs" he said softly, "I love you too," and then he blacked out again.

"Bruce?" she asked with panic in her voice

"Dad hurry" she shouted to her father.

Gordon was in shock. Bruce. Bruce Wayne was batman. All this time, years of working with him and he would never had guessed that the womanizing playboy was batman. Not to mention his daughter's boyfriend. Well that he had known but not the other stuff. Babs was batgirl. Well shit.
