A/N: This is just the start of a new series I'm creating for my favorite DC couple Batman and Wonder Woman mixed in with members of the Bat family. Enjoy!
"Would you like more coffee Master Bruce?" I looked up from my morning newspaper and held up my mug towards Alfred and replied, "Yes of course." Pouring out black coffee into my mug Alfred turned to Diana bowed, and apologized. "Forgive me your Highness for such a delay I'll be sure to get your coffee very soon."
Diana smiled her "It's-okay-Alfred-your-only-human smile." "First off it's Diana and second please Alfred take your time."
I smiled.
Diana always had that kindness that made everybody she meets like her. Including me. I laced my fingers through soft hand and she returned mine. My mind wandered till I remembered that some very important wasn't here. But what was it?
"Speaking of delay where is he?" I wondered aloud taking a swing of my coffee and straightening out my suit and tie. Ever since Damian arrived here I always worried he will try to sneak out and patrol on his own or something along the lines of that. With him you never know what he might do. "Considering he's the grandson of Ra's Al Ghul anything is possible." I mused. I guess he was just not used to waking up at 4am in the morning and training from dusk to dawn.
As if on cue Damian arrived in the kitchen looking embarrassed being seen holding his half-sister, only wearing jeans, and a striped shirt. He wore a thin frown on his face. He strode past Alfred, who looked at him in amusement and placed the baby on the high chair. By that time Alfred was already grabbing a bottle to feed her.
"What took you so long?" Diana asked. Damian just shrugged his shoulders. "She was crying so I assumed she was hungry and I took her to you."
I felt taken aback. Usually he didn't want anything to do with the baby. Diana looked at me with eyebrows raised, I returned the look.
"Damian." I said. "How would you like to spend a day at Wayne Enterprise?"
"Emma, where are you going? Come back here this instant!"
The day was already getting worse by the minute. Emma kept running around the room with the help of her crawling on all fours. It still baffles me how she is always so quick to crawl away. If I were father I would not even think of bringing the baby at all, she would only bring distraction and trouble.
"Whose idea was it to bring this little demon along anyway?" I angrily thought as I roughly picked up the little brat who again for the twelfth time tried to escape through the door of father's office.
Emma was already getting quite annoyed at me for foiling her plans every time and began to whimper. She looked at me with blue sapphire eyes which already had tears ready to spill. What I said did just that.
"Serves you right you little brat, not everyone gets what they want in life not even you." She finally burst into tears, her cries echoing off the walls of father's office.
"Crap baby! Shush!" I quickly placed a hand over her mouth. If father found out what I said to her he would probably ground me for two straight years. It's only too bad that father's office was not sound proof.
"What is going on in here?" yelled out father rushing into the door looking somewhat alarmed.
"The baby-"! But I didn't even finish my sentence. He scooped up the baby into his arms and began to slowly rock the baby. Soon her cries turned into a small yawn. Emma cooed at her father and he smiled in return.
"She seems to like you more than me." I whispered glumly. Father did not look up from her.
"It's just how you approach her, your way seems a little harsh don't you think?" He smirked. My mouth opened slighted but I closed my mouth and frowned. "Why should I care what a baby thinks? She will probably grow up to be a brat anyway." Although I did feel I could have used better judgment.
"Damian." His voice shook me out of my thoughts. "Did you yell at the baby?"
I put hung my head down and nodded. "Yes. But she kept trying to get to the door, and you were in a meeting, so I didn't want to disturb you while you were working so…"
"You yelled at her." He said flaty.
"But she doesn't seem to like me father, whatever I do she just cries." I crossed my arms and looked out the window. I wanted to avoid looking at my father when he dished out his punishment. Instead Father bended down to my level and placed the baby on his hip, an image even Joker would have a hard time believing and placed a firm hand on my shoulder.
"Damian remember this morning when you heard Emma crying and instead of ignoring it you helped her. I'm still proud of you for doing that."
"Mr. Wayne." A voice interrupted us. We both looked up to see a woman, I assumed father's secretary, at the door but she didn't seem to notice us because she was busy making faces at Emma trying to make her laugh. Emma did not even twitch.
She stopped when she realized both of us were looking at her once she heard someone cough.
"Oh I'm sorry Mr. Wayne." She mumbled apologetically. "I meant to tell you that the meeting at 2:00 is starting and by the way you have an adorable baby, I was just wondering if I could watch over her for you while you're in your meeting."
I felt a twinge of irritation. There was no way I was going to let that flirting bimbo of a woman near Emma. I don't see why father should act so loose around people like these.
Emma seemed to be thinking the same thing because she looked up at father as if to say, "You're going to leave me with her, have you lost it?" She began to squirm in her father's arms and looked at me for help.
"Besides Mr. Wayne I doubt he could watch her." The woman points her finger at me, with distrust. I looked at her with my best batglare I can throw at her. She looks raises an eyebrow as if to say, "Is that all you got?" Before looking back at father.
Growing impatient I marched past the woman and gently took the baby out of Bruce's hands surprising the secretary.
"I think the baby will be fine in Damian's hands." My father concluded.
The woman clenched her fist but managed to put on a fake smile mutter out, "That's fine." And she stomped out of the room.
"You're sure you'll be fine without me?" he whispered to me.
"Of course now go." I pushed him out the door and was about to close the door when my father put a shoe in the doorway. He stuck his head in the door crack and said hurriedly, "Knock on my door if you need anything, okay?"
Emma whimpered watching her father go. "It's okay father will be back soon." I whisper in her ear.
She looks up at me and she reaches out and to touch my nose. I feel a small smile spread on my face. I put her down on the ground and sit down behind her with my legs encircling her. Watching her look around the enormous room is quite amusing.
"Emma."
Hearing her name she looks up at me with her curious blue eyes. "Can you say Damian?" she stares at me as I say it, and then slowly she says, "Damiyun."
My eyes blink once then twice. "Did she just say my name? I think she just my name!"
I grin and pat her head. I guess she doesn't hate me after all.
"Guys I'm home." I hear laughter in the living room. Dick's the loudest.
Placing my briefcase near the door, I walk into the living room to see Dick, Diana, Barbara, and Tim watching a movie. Damian follows close behind me with Emma in his arms.
"Damiyun!" She cries out looking at Damian. Dick and Diana turn around to look first at me, then Damian, then back at me.
"Hey Bruce." Dick yells out, lazily waving his hand at him without looking back. "Hey Damian what have you go there?" Dick glances at him while turning down the volume.
"Damiyun!" Emma shrieks.
Diana raises her eyebrows with her mouth slightly agape. Dick gives a crooked smile and Tim just grins.
"She has been saying that all the way home." I said feeling a sense of pride, at how fast she was already growing. "Aww! That was her first word!" Barbara gushed to Dick, sitting next to her.
I take a seat next to Diana and wrap my arms around her. "I feel bad I couldn't see it myself since I was in a meeting."
Dick gets up and walks over to Damian with an annoyed look on his face. "I wanted the baby to say my name first, that's so not fair." He pouted.
Damian smirks proudly. "That's too bad Grayson, perhaps you should have thought of it first." And with that Damian marches away with the baby in his hands upstairs.
"What's his problem?" Dick inquires sitting up.
"I think Damian just happy that no one has taken the baby away." I reply. I stretch my stiff arms while the rest of the family quiets down to watch the movie until Diana gets up.
"I think I going to check on the baby."
"Okay then." I glance at her and focused back on the movie. She smirks steps out of the room.
I quickly run up the stairs and make my way towards the Emma's room finding it strange that Damian was holding the baby and looked happy doing it when I hear a voice inside. I push the door slightly ajar and watch with astonishment watching Damian sing a some sort of lullaby in a Arabic language to Emma .
"Damian?" I whisper placing my hand on the door knob.
Damian jerks his head towards my way, blushing a very profuse red. I push the door all the way open and walk towards him.
"Damian what are you doing?"
"Well I...I was putting the baby to sleep for father so he can relax from his hard day at work." He stammered.
I warmly smiled. It warmed my heart to see Damian getting along with the newer member of the family.
"You know Damian." I bend down to his level. "There's nothing wrong with what you're doing. In fact I find it cute but, if you want we can keep it a secret." I winked. Damian averted his gaze but nodded agreement.
Feeling a bit cheeky I pecked a small kiss on his cheek. Damian froze up and a red hue spread all over his. Immediately after I moved back Damian quickly wiped his hand furiously on his cheek and sprinted out as fast as his sturdy legs could carry him.
"Bye Damian." I giggled.
Diana giggled as waved goodbye. Damian stomped down the hall to his room grumbling. When he finally reached his room and shut the door he sat on his bed and smashed a pillow close to his face. Slowly, but gently he touched the area where she kissed him. Their in the dark Damian smirked.
"Ttt."
More stories to come! Hope you enjoyed :)
