This fiction is keeping with my established universe in my 'Bat and the Cat' and 'Bloom' fanfictions. If you haven't read them and would like some clarity, I would recommend reading them first. I think that you can probably guess what they are about though…

I thought that Bruce and Selina could do with a bit of family fluff/fluff in their lives and now with little Helena, it's even better. I know that most of the characters in this, and the subsequent one-shots may be OOC, but I wanted to see what it would be like to see some Bat-Dad and Cat-Mom.

Please leave a comment to let me know what you think. Any and all criticism is good criticism.

Bruce pulled open the door to the bathroom and shielded his eyes against the aggressive light. Once his eyes had adjusted to the light, Bruce walked in and after a quick toilet break, Bruce took a look at himself in the mirror. Deep dark rings circled his eyes and his hair was dishevelled… in layman's terms he looked like shit.

Selina and Helena had been just come home from the hospital and that night after they were both sure that Helena had fallen asleep, Bruce and Selina cuddled for the first time in ages. There was no aggressive kissing or passionate make out sessions but rather some gentle hugging and soft whispers between them. Selina had wrapped her legs around Bruce's and was using his bicep as a pillow while Bruce traced gentle circles on Selina's thighs.

"I missed being able to get this close…"

"We were always able to get this close…"

"I was huge! There was no way we were getting this close to each other."

"We could have spooned?"

Selina looked up at Bruce with a glare on her face.

"Bruce… how long have you known me?"

"Years. And they've been the best years of my life."

"Yeah well, in that case, you should know that I don't like spooning. I like being face-to-face."

Selina started getting quieter.

"Breath to breath"

Selina's hand slowly travelled down Bruce's bare chest. Selina was always skilled in eliciting hungry feelings in Bruce. Her fingertips would fuel him on, his senses electrified. Selina had gotten so close to Bruce that the tips of their noses were touching.

"Where everything is within reach…"

Bruce inhaled sharply as Selina quickly cupped his cock before quickly taking her hand away again. A seductive smile slowly crawled it's way across Selina's face and in the blink of an eye, Bruce had Selina pinned beneath him. Selina began to slowly run her tongue over her lips and Bruce's mind started running into overload. Surely Selina knew how much of an effect she had on Bruce… yes, she did, Bruce was convinced, and this was just ruthless teasing. Just as Bruce was about to leave a love bite on Selina's elegant neck, cries started pouring from the baby monitor standing beside the bed. As Bruce was temporarily distracted, Selina flipped them both over and quickly buried herself beneath the covers.

"Your turn Bat-dad"

"How about we do it together?"

"Nah-ah… I carried her for 9 months. After you do the night shift for that long, maybe then but not a day sooner."

Bruce sighed as he slipped his feet into a pair of slippers by the bed. Feeling a warmth against his back, Bruce craned his neck to one side to give Selina a quick kiss.

"If you hurry up, we can pick up where we left off…"

Bruce was now acutely aware of the fact that Selina was topless and that most of the heat was radiating off of her skin. Two hard points against his back also told Bruce that Selina was now braless.

Quickly heading into the nursery, Bruce gently picked Helena up and held her against his chest. Swaying slowly from side-to-side, Bruce hummed a gentle tune hoping that it would calm Helena down, but she continued to cry and fuss. Bruce thought that maybe Helena was hungry and headed towards Selina but as soon as his hand touched the door handle, Bruce reconsidered the idea and headed back into the nursery. Bruce bounced Helena in his arms as he tapped his chin trying to think of something that would help them both sleep. Spotting something on the shelf beside Helena's crib, Bruce hurried to grab it but in the darkness of the room, Bruce stubbed his toe on the corner of Helena's dresser.

"Oh sh-!"

Bruce willed his jaw shut as he ground his teeth until the pain subsided. Breathing a sigh of relief, Bruce knew that Selina wouldn't have left a body to find if Bruce had taught Helena such explicit language at such a young age. Bruce then noticed something else. Silence. Sweet, underappreciated, silence. Looking down at Helena, Bruce noticed that she had a toothless smile on her face and Bruce feared for his future.

"You enjoy taking pleasure from my misery too eh? Like mother, like daughter I suppose."

Bruce quickly grabbed his prize from the shelf and sat into the chair beside Helena's cot. Lowering Helena into the crib, Bruce covered her up and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. After giving his prize a quick glance, Bruce turned it around to show Helena. It was a storybook. The covers were grubby, and the spine was in tatters, but the sentimental value of the book was obvious.

"Your grandfather used to read these to me when I was younger. I loved them, and I suppose it had a bigger influence on me than I thought… the hero getting the beautiful girl… I used to think it was all fantasy. But you, Helena… you're evidence that it is real."

Helena stared up at her father with wide eyes. Blue staring into blue and Bruce couldn't help but smile. Flipping a switch, the mobile above Helena's head began to give off a gentle tune, one that was barely audible above a murmur and turned his attention to the book in his hand.

"In keeping with our goal, let's start with a classic, Sleeping Beauty…"

Bruce cleared his throat.

"Once upon a time…"

Selina cracked open an eyelid. Shivering slightly, Selina realised that she had fallen asleep practically naked, on top of the duvet. Slipping on her nightgown, Selina also noticed that Bruce was nowhere to be seen. Wrapping her robe around her, Selina went searching for Bruce. Hearing a snore rumbling from Helena's room that was far too deep to be from her daughter, Selina pushed open the door. Sleeping beside Helena's cot, shirtless, and with a storybook lying flat across his chest, was Bruce. Picking up the book, Selina couldn't help but smile. After taking a quick picture with her phone, Selina pressed a kiss to Bruce's lips. Bruce's eyes shot open and Bruce quickly noticed Selina pressing her finger up against her lips. Taking Selina's hand, Bruce allowed himself to be silently led out of Helena's room and into Selina's awaiting arms.

"Sleeping Beauty? I hope you were talking about me?!"

"Of course, haven't I vanquished enough dragons to prove that to you?"

"Real smooth Bruce. Now come on, let's go have breakfast before Helena wakes up…"
