I don't own anything, but the twins.

Jason:

This was not how he was expecting his day to go, if he was honest with himself. In fact, he was expecting it to go as his usual day, sleep some through the day at his current safe house, and at sun down go out and clear his side of Gotham and scare and kill some drug dealers. He had not been expecting to get a phone call from a social worker of all people to wake him up, and how the lady got his phone number was a mystery in itself.

"Hello, I'm Amanda James with Social Services, is this Jason Todd?" the Social Worker asked using his real name which was very alarming to hear a stranger know his real name. Not only that, he was suppose to be dead and it wouldn't be good if someone recognized him.

"Yes," he said as calmly as he could while sitting up in his bed as he tried not to get even more paranoid by the fact a stranger had his phone number.

"Mr. Todd, do you have any relation to a Isabel Ardila?" Amanda asked and Jason was surprised to hear that name, he hadn't seen Isabel since he broke up with her, after the Joker nearly ODed her to death, to keep her safe. That had been about little over a year ago, so why were Social Services asking him about her, he wondered.

"I dated her a little over a year ago," Jason stated speaking truthfully to see what this James lady wanted.

"Well, , I think it would be best for you to come down to my office, so we can discuss this in person. Can you be here by six o'clock?" Amanda asked and Jason frowned, feeling like it was a trap.

"Yeah, that's fine," Jason said reluctantly and the lady gave him the address and thanked him before she hung up on him. He then got out of bed and got ready to go the Social Service Department.

Once at the Social Service Department he looked around expecting some set up formed by Black Mask or the cops. If it was a set up then the guys that were going to bust were hiding pretty well. Jason then thought about his paranoid idea and quickly forgot about the set up idea since neither the cops or druggies know his secret identity. With that he walked into the department and walked to the lady to front desk.

"Hi, I'm Jason Todd, Amanda James wanted to see me," Jason said glancing around at the place, it was pretty cliche in his opinion.

"Sign in here and go sit over there. I'll call her and let her know your hear," the lady said and Jason signed in and sat in one of the open chairs by the wall. Luckily, he didn't have to wait long before a African American woman in her late thirty, maybe early forties walked up to him.

"Hello, Mr. Todd, I'm Amanda, I'm glad you come and I'm sure you're wondering why I called you hear," Amanda said and Jason stood up.

"Yes, actually, I was wondering why you called me down here to talk about my ex?" Jason asked cutting straight to the point.

"The first thing you should know is that Mrs. Ardila died a few days ago in a car accident on the way to work," Amanda said and Jason frowned, that was not something he wanted to hear. In fact it hurt to hear someone he cared about died and he hadn't known until days after the death occurred.

"I'm sorry for your lose, but you must know that, that's not why I called you here," Amanda continued and walked to the elevator with Jason following.

Jason stepped into the elevator and recovered from his temporary shock and asked,"Why did you call me here then?"

"After Mrs. Ardila died her apartment was searched, just in case, for a will and surprisingly we found one. In her will she stated that if she were to die she wanted you, Mr. Todd, to take her children into custody and explains how your the father," Amanda said and stepped out of the elevator once it arrived to the floor she wanted and Jason walked after silent in shock.

After a while of silence they arrived to their destination which was a room with a lady who had two infants in high chairs, no older then six months, eating cereal. Jason looked Amanda then the children, he was glad she was patient for a answer since he hadn't spoken for a while, and asked,"Are you sure their mine?" as he stared at the twins.

"Their birth certificates didn't name the father's name on it, but their last names are Todd, they also seem to have your eye color. We can do a paternity test, if you want to be 100% sure," Amanda said and noticed Jason staring at the infants.

"That would be great," Jason staring at the infants, he didn't want them to be his, he couldn't take care a infant, much less two. Though there was also that off chance they were his, and he wouldn't be able to let the two go to a orphanage. Amanda had left after he replied to her and came back with a nurse who had what was needed to the test.

He looked at Amanda who returned to his side and then looked back at the infants and asked,"What are their names?"

"Jason Todd Jr. and Catherine Todd," Amanda said and Jason nodded and frowned once they two six month olds started to cry because their fingers pricked. Jason also didn't remember telling Isabel about his step mom, but he might of told during one of the times Roy got him drunk, which was probably how the twins happened.

"Your hand sir," the nurse said snapping Jason out his reverie and he gave her his hand and she pricked his finger and took the blood and gave him a band-aid before leaving.

"There is no doubt in my mind that they aren't your's, Mr. Todd; so the question is when those test come back will take them or not, like Mrs. Ardila requested?" Amanda asked and Jason stared at the crying infants who were not happy their lunch time was ruin by finger pricks.

Jason stared at the lady then at the twins feeling the pressure for once. He was torn between the fact he didn't know how to raise kids and not wanting to give the twins to a orphanage and maybe end up on the streets during their childhood and suffer like he did. Jason sighed finally caving in to his own worries and said,"I'll take them," while somewhat mentally kicking himself for his answer.

"Good, now there is some paper work to fill out, and tomorrow I'll need to inspect your house or apartment to see if it is an healthy environment for the twins to grow in. After that if you pass the inspection we will come back here and you will be able to retrieve the two. Also you should get the results of the test within, at most, five days, we'll call you so you don't have to drive down here," Amanda said.

Jason didn't go on patrol that night, instead he went to his nicest local safe house, which was an apartment in the nicer part of Gotham. He then spent the majority of the night making the place presentable, which didn't take long since he hardly ever touched the place. The apartment was a nice size as well, three bedrooms, plus a secret closet he built himself for his work clothes and weapons. It was a pretty simple place as well, couch, tv, coffee table, kitchen table, basic kitchen, a study, a empty room, and a basic bedroom.

He sighed when he finished cleaning up the last room and went to his bedroom and didn't bother changing clothes before throwing himself onto his bed. Jason groaned into his pillow and his mind wondered off to all the events that happened, it was a lot to process. He sighed and closed his eyes after a while and let himself fall asleep.

The next day, Jason was up pacing and waiting for Amanda to come and check the apartment out. He had been pacing and thinking for a while, maybe an hour or two, he hadn't been paying attention. Jason was usually not one to worry about stuff, but this whole situation had thrown him off so he was worrying a lot, because he didn't know what to do.

Finally after a few minutes more of pacing there was a knock on the door and he walked to it and opened it. Jason looked at Amanda and stepped aside as she walked inside with a clip board. After that he followed her and answered any questions she asked as she went through and checked off the stuff on her clip board. Once she finished she went through and looked at everything she checked and Jason stood there nervously waiting for her results.

"Well, I must say, Mr. Todd, you passed everything, though I do suggest you get a nursery set up," Amanda said and Jason let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"When do the twins get to come here?" Jason asked getting a bit impatient.

"We can go get them now, but I warn you now, Mr. Todd, you're going to want to get a babysitter or nanny because it will be hard take twins anywhere as a single parent, at their current age," Amanda said and walked out the door and Jason followed her and locked and closed his apartment door behind him. With that he walked with her down to the parking area for glad he hadn't gotten rid of the car that Roy bought when he was drunk and left it with him.

Once to the social department Amanda wasted no time putting two car seats in his car, turning in her evaluation, and giving him a list of things he would need. Then she put the twins in their car seats and told him how to use the car seats, all before leaving him alone and going back to work.

Jason sighed and got in the car and looked over the list he had been given, then glanced over his shoulder at the twins. He then looked back at the list and sighed, his wallet was going to be empty by the end of the day. Jason for once was even more grateful for the money that the drug lords under his command gave him as payment for their lives. With that thought Jason started the car and headed towards the store.

To be continued:

Well this was just the prologue, a very lengthy and sort of boring prologue. I promise that the other chapters will have more entertainment, and this one was just sort of setting up stop and thoroughly making sure there were no holes. Also this is a family fic, just mainly focused on Jason; which reminds me, I take advice, so if I get something wrong feel free to kindly give me some pointers. Another thing is that is a Alternate Universe and I will taking things form a bunch of different versions of dc comics. Anyway follow, favorite, or at least tell me what you think, also good night and kudos to you all.
