Chapter 2

Tim stared at the unconscious form of his brother for a moment before sighing and looking at his son "I think you're going to meet one of your uncles a little earlier than planned" Tim muttered smiling as his son made a cute gurgling noise.

Damian growled as he sat up. At first he wondered where he was but the sight of Tim smirking at him from the other side of the room made him remember. "Drake I demand to know where that child came from and how in the hell you are its father" Tim raised an eyebrow and gave Damian an amused look before answering.

"Well demon child a year ago I went on a business trip with Bruce for a new project that Wayne industries was launching at the time and long story short I met a girl whilst I was there and persuaded Bruce to let me stay an extra few weeks"

"Tt that doesn't explain how you know it is yours Drake"

Tim shuck his head sadly "I got a call a few weeks ago from the girl telling me that it was important that I meet her outside Gotham that night. When I got to our arranged meeting spot she gave me our son and told me how she was ill and didn't have long left to live-" Tim swallowed thickly before continuing "I ran some tests on him in the bat cave when you were all out fighting and they came back with the result that he was positively my son. I kept in touch with his mother until last week when I got the news that she had passed away"

Damian felt a wave of sadness hit him as he looked at Tim who had tears in his eyes and was staring at the floor.

A small wail echoed through the apartment and it was only then that Damian realised Tim had moved him on to the couch. Damian watched as Tim disappeared in to the room where he had first seen his nephew and returned carrying the sniffling baby. Tim sat down next to Damian and rocked his son gently before saying "Damian this is Tyler and Tyler this is your uncle Damian" Damian gazed at the infant before giving his nephew a very rare (for Damian) smile before looking up at Tim and asking "When do you plan on introducing Tyler to the rest of the family" Tim looked at Damian pleased that he seemed to like Tyler. "In a few days when I feel like I'm ready and it isn't all just a wonderful dream. But until then do you think you could keep it a secret?"

Damian nodded "no one shall know of this until you say otherwise Drake"

AN: sorry if this made you sad but it will get happier especially when Jason and Dick find out ;)
