Chapter one - clone baby
Kon had a bad feeling about tonight everyone was out and Tim had turned up at the tower asking for a private talk Kon had sat on his bed Tim sat up to the desk they'd been sitting there for 15 minutes and Tim was getting more and more tense whatever he had to say Kon was dreading hearing it.
Tim shifted in his chair twisting and turning kon eyed him suspiciously "just spit it out already for weeks now you've not been doing anything as red robin i've only seen you a few times these last months never for more then 20 minuites and you always run off without much warning what is it you have to tell me?" Tim used his thumb and forefinger to rub the bridge of his nose his eyes where beginning to redden and it took all of Kon's self control to stay firm and not run over to him his arms did uncross to fall limply to his sides though and he took a step closer.
Tim was looking down at the floor he was scuffing the toes of his shoes on "i'm so sorry... Kon I ... oh god your going to hate me" Tim choked down a sob that was trying to escape "your my best friend and now now i'm going to lose you" that was it Kon's self control crumbled he floated over and embraced his friend they stayed quiet for a while Tim hugging tightly fingers clutching onto Kon's t-shirt while he tried to control his breathing finally he pushed Kon back hands lingering on his stomach.
"When you where gone I ... I couldn't cope I went a little crazy in the end it got so bad the loneliness the fact that everyone was dying I just I wanted a piece of you something to remember you by I knew i'd never have get you back ...I saw kids in the park playing with their parents one day and I thought you never got a chance to leave a piece of you behind ... I thought I don't know what I thought" Tim's right fingers absentmindedly traced patterns on Kon's stomach while his left hand rested on the others hip.
"Look Tim your scaring me you sound like ..." he trailed off and pulled Tim's chin up to glance at his eyes.
"I just missed you I..." Tim stopped a blush spread over his face Kon smiled and moved closer "I think I know what you want to say and I ... I think I feel the same" Tim's mouth dropped and Conner had to laugh he'd never seen Tim so shocked so un composed he laughed and hugged him "could never hate you" he mumbled into Tim's hair.
Puhing him away for the second time that night Tim sighed Kon twiddled with his fingers "that is what you where trying to tell me right?"
"I realised along time ago that I was in love with you but that's not what I needed what I have to tell you tonight".
Kon leaned in and placed a small kiss on his lips before resting his forehead on Tim's "whatever it is i could never hate you" reaching up Tim slipped a hand behind Kon's neck and pulled him in for another kiss it was wrong really because Tim was sure after this Kon would hate him but he just wanted this one moment before it had to end.
Sighing he moved himself away from Kon before standing up "in the end I ... I tried to clone you but it wouldn't work" Kon put up a hand to stop him and walked to the end of the room before walking back left hand rubbing the back of his neck trying to calm himself down "well I guess at least it didn't work" "at first" tim corrected and kon threw his hands in the air "what have you done tim" kon all but growled "I realised that to clone you i'd need to do what they did to make you, did I needed to add human DNA".
"you didn't ..." a glance confirmed his suspicions "you did you used your DNA didn't you?" Tim nodded before looking back down heart beating a mile a minute Kon could barley hear himself think over that heartbeat "so you cloned me using half my DNA half yours" another nod "we have a kid" "yeah i guess that's the best way to put it, yeah".
"How else could I put it? how does he feel about this about who and what he is Tim?" Tim kept his eyes trained on the floor "he doesn't know" "god Tim please please tell me he's not suck in one of those those tubes please tell me when I came back you didn't just leave him there?"
Finally Tim lifted his eyes to meet Kon's "i'd never do that he doesn't know because he's only a baby" seeing the look of horror on Kon's face he thought he should further explain "its ok he's not like you he ages like a normal child I figured out how to make him age I hacked Cadmas and looked into it before I cloned him"
Conner opened his mouth before closing it then went to lean against the far wall he dug his palms into his eyes hands raising to grab at his hair then he sunk to the floor he didn't know what to do he had a son and what's worse Tim had waited this long to tell him what had he missed out on that he'd never get back he didn't know how to feel upset angry violated he couldn't settle on one.
"I don't expect you to forgive me I know you must be so angry right now and don't worry about Jack he's fine I got a day job and an apartment we're covered" Kon stood up and Tim stopped talking "that's my sons name?" a small smile graced his face for a second then it was gone "Jack" Kon stepped forward "you named him after your dad" "yeah and you I named him Jack conner drake" Tim smiled fondly "Dicks taken to calling him JC not sure how I feel about that yet"
"Dick knows about him?" "kind of I told them I had a one night stand and his mum showed up dumped the baby on me obviously a DNA test showed I was his father that's as much as everyone knows though I think Bruce knows more he always knows everything but he treats Jack like family so ..." he trailed off realising he'd been talking on and on.
"Can I see him? I mean i know i'll have to wait till your ready for me to so maybe not now but.." Tim was taken back he knew Kon would want to be a part of Jacks life he's that sort of guy he wouldn't abandon his kid but he wasn't expecting him to take it so well.
"Umm yeah sure when did you want to? I mean tonight's ok he'll be asleep but you'll be able to see him just get changed and hop on my bike I cant take you to my apartment in uniform".
Kon walked over to the wardrobe and grabbed a red t-shirt tossing his black one on the floor before pulling the other on "i'm ready".
Kon took one look at the bike and dreaded the journey when you can fly at super speed any other transport seems to drag on unmercifully but he knew flying there wasn't an option batman wasn't his biggest fan so bike it was.
They pulled up outside a small tower block in a fairly nice looking area it was middle class Kon guessed not really a rich people area but still not saddled with crime and drug dens then again Tim's worked on these streets if anyone could find a safe place to live in Gotham (if such thing even existed) it was Tim.
He stuck close to Tim the whole way up to the apartment shifting impatiently from foot to foot while Tim looked for the right key before opening the door and letting Kon in, the apartment was quite a good size a kitchen linked to the front room by a large arch doorway to his left a hall in front of him he guessed led to the bedrooms and bathroom.
Before anything could be said Dick emerged from a room on the right hand side of the hallway he stopped to take Kon in but didn't look to surprised he nodded and said a quick hi before turning to Tim "good timing I was just going to call you jacks asleep I was just waiting till you got in to go, you know how it is duty calls" he grabbed Tim and pulled Tim into a quick hug before letting go to ruffle his hair "proud of you" was the last thing he said before grabbing his coat and waving goodbye as he left.
"he defiantly knows" Tim muttered fixing his hair, he looked over to Kon who had his hands in his pockets completely lost "so" he started unsure of what to say Kon opened his mouth to say 'what next' but was stopped by the sound of Jack crying Tim couldn't help but think lifesaver what a total life saver.
He grabbed Kon's hand and led him to the couch "sit there a sec" and then he ran off presumably to Jacks room confirmed when the crying stopped and Tim returned holding a baby who was about a year old Kon couldn't see much of his son the kid was wrapped a blue blanket little feet poking out from the material on his feet and on the little arms holding tight around Tim's neck he was in a red baby grow his face was against Tim's shoulder so he couldn't see that but he saw Jack had lots of black hair that curled slightly at the edges probably passed on from Tim.
After a small amount of rocking Tim kneeled down in font of Kon "did you want to hold him?" "what if I wake him up?" "its ok once he gets back to sleep he's a deep sleeper he should be ok" Tim shifted the way he was holding Jack so that he was easier to handle then passed him over to Kon.
Words couldn't properly describe that moment the feeling he got at seeing his son for the first time he thought that he would look like Tim as he had his hair but he didn't he looked so like himself same face shape same nose his hair wasn't really curly at all from the front but he had a long fridge that parted to the left kon wasn't sure on the mouth that little grin on his face was familiar to Tim's but the rest was all Kon right down to the bronzed skin, he could swear he felt his heart swell there and then.
"he looks like you when he's sleeping" Tim said more to himself than anything reaching out Kon brushed his fingers over the silky skin of his cheeks then picked up a little Hand gently marvelling at the little fingers "no wonder Dick knew ... how old is he?"
"11 months in a couple of weeks, I wanted you to meet him before he turned a year i'm sorry I waited so long"
"I understand why you waited I still don't get why you made him but looking at him how can I say I wish you hadn't he's ... i've never felt like this before looking at him how does it matter how he got here"
Kon looked up and found himself eye to eye with Tim who was staring at him in curiosity and he couldn't help but lean in towards him he placed a chaste kiss on the others lips and pulled him into a tight hug "Kon i didn't think after all this you would..."
"i'd what suddenly not want to be with you anymore than I did earlier? anymore than I have for a long time? i'm not like that Tim i'm not that... cold"
"I know it's just I never thought you'd take this so calmly" Tim jumped as the chest he was lent on suddenly jolted and Kon chuckled trying to stay quiet "I look calm? good because i'm seriously panicking on the inside lets see today my best friend told me he loved me and we have a secret child together so secret I had no idea he could possibly ever exist glad to know you think i'm taking this well"
Jack stirred bringing the attention back to him "we should put him in his cot, sorry Conner I know you haven't really got much chance to see him but whenever you want you can visit or we can meet up somewhere or ..." he trailed off "i'm doing it again aren't I?" "yeah but it's ok you want to take him than so you can put him to bed" Tim took the little boy and walked off Kon followed him and stood at the doorway watching Tim fussing over jack tucking him in before kissing his forehead and saying goodnight he let his hand linger on the light switch before remembering something and running across the hall to his room coming back with a teddy bear and placing it in the cot "if he ever wakes up without it in the morning it takes forever to calm him down" Kon just nodded turning around Kon let his curiosity get the better of him and looked through the now open door to Tim's room stepping in he was surprised to see how empty it looked it was so plain just so black and white the curtains where silky black and the bedcovers matched black cotton quilt and covers with a black silk thow over thingy Kon wasn't 100% sure what there really called there was a glass desk and a wardrobe and set of draws all black the walls where all white the only other colour came from the hardwood floor and lets face it that was brown.
"I haven't had time to properly decorate" Tim told him seeing him staring at the white wall "you know work single parenting that sort of thing"
"how long have you lived here?" "about a month we did live in this little apartment in a rougher area but it was all I could afford Bruce set this up for me he said he wanted to know we where somewhere safe Bruce is that kind of person he looks after his own he bought me this place I moved in and he'd set me up with allot of the furniture and big appliances too" he ran his hand along the edge of the bed "I wouldn't have been able to get such nice stuff otherwise i'm really lucky" he hoped up and settled down with his back against the headboard Kon hesitated but decided to join him after kicking off his shoes Tim leaned against him "so where does this leave us now?" Kon asked "well like I said earlier you can come see Jack when ever you want I don't want him over at the tower but you can take him out places like the park or" "no Tim I mean about us I know you'll let me be a dad to jack but where does that put us? I don't really know how to go about this I mean we've both said we like each other we've kissed I mean I keep thinking this is so... I want you but at the same time this morning I woke up single with no responsibilities and now i'm a dad I have you and Jack a whole family to think about to look after" he wrapped an arm around Tim "its a bit scary I feel I bit overwhelmed ya know"
"i'm sorry and like I said I got Jack covered you don't have to" Tim was cut off "of course i'm going to look after Jack and you too it's ok the whole ready made family things growing on me but you never answered me earlier let me rephrase the question Tim do you want to be my boyfriend?"
Tim looked up and smiled he pulled Conner down into a kiss then settled against his chest "I see" Conner grinned Tim had never been one for the sappy stuff so he just took that as a yes.
So I hope that was ok I have the second chapter written and will post it as soon as I have had a chance to make sure there aren't any mistakes and it all makes sense.
Constructive criticism is more than welcome I don't really write allot on here so i'd be happy to learn how i can improve also thank you for reading.
