Chapter 3

The next morning, Richard woke up to find his arms around a sleeping Kori. At first, he thought that last night was just a dream until he looked to see that he and Kori were still wearing the same clothes as they were last night. He got up out of bed careful to not wake the person asleep next to him. He changed out of the clothes that he had on and into some clean dry ones. As he was brushing through his hair, Kori was getting up from bed.

"Hey, what are you doing up? Did I wake you?" Kori just smiled and got out of bed.

"No. I am used to waking at this hour." She changed her clothes too and soon the two of them were walking down into the kitchen. As they reached the kitchen, Alfred was cooking and Tim was sitting at the counter with a text book and a notebook. Alfred looked up and smiled at Kori and Richard.

"Good morning Master Richard and Ms. Kori. Would you like some breakfast?" Richard and Kori sat down on the counter next to Tim.

"Thanks Alfred, but I'll just have some coffee. Kori you want something?" she just shook her head.

"Just some juice if you have any." Alfred smiled and went to get them something to drink.

"So Tim, how old are you again?" Richard said laughing at his younger "brother".

"Eight. I'll be nine in 5 months. Now if you excuse me, I have to finish this Lit homework."

"What'cha reading?" Richard asked, looking at the textbook in front of the young boy.

"Robin Hood; I just can't figure out these questions though." Richard picked up the book from in front of Tim. "Hey!"

"Well, first, it might help you if you actually had your Lit textbook in front of you. You have been reading your history book." Richard smirked at the kid as his eyes got big and he ran out of the room, trying to find his missing book. As Tim ran out of the room, Bruce walked out in one of his suits.

"Good morning Alfred. Good morning Kori. Richard." Alfred set down the pair's drinks and Richard picked his up with an eye roll. "Tomorrow you're coming to work at Wayne Enterprises." He then took a sip of coffee as if he just said the sky is blue.

"What?" Richard stood up, knocking over his cup of coffee. Kori just lifted her cup and didn't look shocked at that.

"You want to support your child and Kori?" Bruce said looking at Richard.

"Well, yeah, I do." Richard said looking a little embarrassed.

"Then you will come and work at Wayne Enterprises. If you don't have a suit, you can get one today. I have to get going soon. Where's Tim?"

"Tim did not have the right book of text to finish the 'homework'." Kori said after taking a drink from her juice.

"I can take Tim to school. Al can take you to work as usual. You probably drop him off early like you did with me don't you?"

"Yes Master Richard. Thank you." Alfred said. "I'll meet you down in the town car Master Bruce." Alfred left, leaving Richard, Kori, and Bruce.

"Kori, feel free to make yourself at home. Richard, make sure that Tim gets to school on time." Bruce said as he left. When his head was turned, Richard made a face that was supposed to be someone talking in a boring manor. Kori tried to not laugh, especially when Bruce turned around to look at him. He quickly dropped the face and smirked. Bruce just shook his head, full knowing what Richard was doing behind his back. When he left the room, Kori smacked Richards arm.

"That is not a kind thing to do to your father. Would you like our little bumgorf to do something like that to you?" Richard hung his head in shame.

"No."

"Then don't do it again." Kori said in a motherly tone. Richard brought his head up and smiled.

"You're going to be a great mother." He kissed her on the lips. The kiss was getting more passionate when Tim came in.

"So, I found my book in the… EW! DON'T BE MAKING OUT WHERE I EAT BEAKFAST!" Kori just blushed and started to giggle. Richard blushed a little and sighed.

"Done. Happy?"

"Very." Tim smiled and looked around the room. "Awe man, they left me here again. Great." He slammed down his book down onto the counter.

"Nope, they didn't forget about you. I'm taking you to school today. Now, let's get this lit homework done before we have to go." So the two of them sat and looked at the textbook and notebook. Kori got up and started to clean something, feeling a little useless about not being able to help Tim with his homework. She walked over to the fridge and scanned it until she found her favorite drink. She walked back over to the counter with her bottle of mustard where the boys were finished with Tim's homework.

"Can you guys answer one question for me?" Tim asked as Kori walked up with her mustard.

"Of course. What is it?" Kori asked, taking a drink of the yellow liquid.

"Why are you guys here? I asked Alfred, but he said that it was grown up stuff. I tried to ask Bruce on patrol last night, but he gave me one of those looks, you know."

"You mean the 'If you ask about this one more time, you will be in trouble'?" Then Richard made a scary face, one that would have even scared Raven.

"Yeah, that's it! So, why are you here?" Tim looked at the both of them. Richard and Kori looked at each other and looked back at Tim.

"Well, um, Kori's pregnant and we needed help." Richard said looking at Tim.

"Well, you're going to be married right? I mean, most people are married when they have a kid." Kori and Richard just looked at each other. They never really thought of it. Luckily for them, it was time for Richard to take Tim to school.

"You boys better get going or Tim will be late." Kori said looking at her mustard.

"Come on Squirt. Or else it'll be both our heads that Bruce will have." He started to walk with Tim until he remembered something. He turned back and kissed Kori. "I'll be back. I love you."

"I love you too," Kori said back smiling. She watched the two walk out of the room before she turned around. "Marry?"

"So, do you want to take the Jag, Lincoln, or Bentley?" Richard asked when he and Tim walked into the garage.

"I don't care, Dick. You pick which one you want to die for," Tim said adjusting his backpack.

"Jag it is then, come on Squirt," Richard said hopping into the driver's side. Tim got in and they drove off to Tim's school. The ride was quiet, although Tim was playing with the radio. When Tim was at school, Richard just sat in the parking lot. "Marry?"

What do you think? I know these chapters are short. The farther into the story I go the more there will be. I just have to introduce people, things, that sort of stuff. Please leave me your comments. They help me out.
