How Oliver and Dinah came to adopt Artemis.

Chapter 3: The Adoption

Oliver's POV

The moment I walked through the front door, I came to realize I was in almost complete darkness. The only light came from candles scattered throughout the house. Okay… This is weird.

"Uh, Dinah? Roy?" I call out.

"Roy spent the night off with the Waynes. It's just you and me." Dinah whispered into my ear.

I quickly turned to face her and found her standing before me in the sexiest emerald green lingerie I have ever seen. I quickly dropped my briefcase and coat as I hoisted her up. Her legs wrapped around my waist as her arms encircled my neck. Our lips were locked together as I carried her up the stairs towards our bedroom.

I kicked open the door to the bedroom and laid her down on the bed as I quickly stripped my own clothes off.

Roy needs to spend the night with Dick and Jason more often.

After climbing onto the bed I began kissing her neck as her hands moved over my chest before moving towards my back, pulling me closer to her. I've got the hottest wife.

"Dinah, I want us to make a baby tonight." I whispered into her ear as she froze.

"What is it? What's wrong?" I asked, moving off of her.

"I… I… We already have Roy."

"Roy's a Hell of a kid, but he didn't come from me or you for that matter… And you love kids. Don't you want a child of our own?"

"I do. More than anything, but Oliver, there's something I've never told you."

"What is it? You can tell me anything."

"I… I can't have children." She whispered as a tear rolled down her cheek. "I'm so sorry. I should have told you sooner."

"Dinah, it's not your fault. It's okay. We'll get through this. We'll figure something else out." I gently replied, while wiping the tear from her cheek. "I love you."

"I love you too, Oliver."

Dinah's POV

"Oliver, where are we going? Shouldn't we be heading towards Gotham to get Roy?" I asked as he smiled.

"I talked to Bruce and he said it was okay if Roy stayed an extra day." He replied.

"I see… But, where are we going?"

"You'll see."

I sighed as he pulled into a parking lot. Wait… This is an orphanage.

"Oliver, what are we doing here?"

"Pretty Bird, if we can't make a baby, then we can adopt one."

"But-"

"Dinah. This child could be ours. It's something we can do together. We can make this work. this baby will be ours."

"Alright. We can try."

We walked into the orphanage. It's so crowded in here. The first thing that caught my eye was the little girl crying in the corner. Poor baby. I wonder what happened. Why is she so upset?

"Dinah, I think we should get a boy." Oliver stated as I ignored him.

Oliver's POV

I watched as Dinah made her way over to a little blonde in the corner of the room. I watched as she wrapped her arms around the crying child that couldn't be any older than four or five. Dinah looked up at me with pleading eyes.

"So much for getting a boy." I muttered before walking over to them.

"Oliver, I am not leaving here without her." Dinah said as I looked down at the tanned little blonde with grey eyes.

She is kinda cute. Maybe a daughter wouldn't be so bad. I'm sure Roy would love to have a little sister. Maybe I could teach her how to shoot.
