In the Batcave, everything was silent as a figure snuck around in the shadows unknown to any of the cave's residents. Slowly the person made their way over to where Batman was at the large computer doing some work with his back to them. Right when the person was about to reach a clawed hand out at the dark knight, a punch was dodged as Jason landed between his dad and the intruder. A curious look was in the person's eyes as they then went to swing at the boy who ducked for Roy and Artemis to jump over their brother and try to connect kicks. This had the person moving out of the shadows to reveal that it was Catwoman herself who gave an amazed look at the three little kids. Turning around in his chair from the computer was Batman who had Dick sitting in his lap with a big smile on his face.
"Something you wish to tell me Bruce?" Selina asked as her blonde hair was uncovered by her pushing her own cowl off.
"Selina, these are our children that I told you about over the phone."
"Let me see if I can figure out who they all are." Selina looked at the four with a smile that had the kids relaxing. "The oldest is Roy who happens to very good at protecting his younger siblings and doesn't get pushed to do stuff so easily. Next to him is the second oldest of Jason who can be a little rebellious, but has a soft spot for his family. Our only girl and second youngest would be Artemis who can handle her own against her brothers and is said to be much like myself. Now our youngest who be little Dick who may be small, but can hold his own."
She was told that she was right with all of that by the three oldest running to give her a big hug that she returned crouching down in front of them. Bruce got out of his chair to walk over and let her take a good look at Dick who called her mommy. A big smile was on her face as she took the little boy into her arms to be given a tight hug by him. The four kids were then told that it was starting to reach their bedtimes and were sent up stairs to go change into their pajamas and this left their parents alone together in the cave.
"I knew they would take to you very easily." Bruce told his wife who just laughed and went to change from her costume.
"They already are my little kittens and no long will hurt them." Selina said as she came out in jeans and a blouse.
"How was the visit with Al Ghul?" Bruce asked as he walked back over to the computer.
"Good. He gives his hellos and hopes to meet the children very soon."
"I want a warning when he is coming."
"What do you have against him Bruce? Even at our wedding, you were a little nervous and he was giving me away to you."
"Nothing is wrong with him. I just always get nervous with the fact he told me that if I ever harm his little kitten, he would-"
"Ra's took me in as a child. You know that he is the closest thing I have to a father and wants to be there for our children. Both of us can't allow our kids to be unable to know the men who raised us. Alfred and Ra's deserve to spend time with their grandchildren."
"Alfred spends time with the kids." Bruce defended as he typed something on the computer's keyboard.
"So Ra's getting just some time isn't going to hurt them. Plus they could learn some things from him to help with patrolling Gotham." Selina explained as she moved to put her arms around Bruce's neck. "We both know the criminals that you fight regularly aren't going to go easy just because they're kids."
"You and I should head up to tuck the kids in before Alfred has to do it."
They went upstairs to the mansion to see Jason and Roy rolling around on the floor and Selina hid her smile at cute the two boys looked. When Artemis came rushing down in a night gown, she took Selina's hand for the woman to pick her up and the little girl asked if she could put her hair up for bed for her.
"Dad, can't do it right."
"Sure thing my little girl." Selina carried the girl upstairs to her bedroom to set on the bed.
Picking up the brush she found on the girl's bed, Selina began to brush the blonde hair out before gently putting it up into a ponytail. A hug was given to her by Artemis and the girl then asked her about what it was like to be a thief as she crawled under her blankets. Happy to spend time with her daughter and the girl listened to the stories that Catwoman had and unknown to them was that the three boys were at the door listening in too. They then were sent off to their own bedrooms by their dad who walked in to say goodnight to his daughter and kissed the top of her hair. When they left the room, the next one they went to was Jason's to see the little boy almost hit his dad with a foam bullet.
"Time for bed my sharpshooter." Selina laughed as she leaned down to pull the covers over the boy.
"Night mom." Jason yawned as he snuggled under the blankets.
A kiss was set on his head and his dad did the same before they left the room go into Roy's for again Bruce to almost be hit, but this time it was a foam arrow. The oldest looked to be hiding his smile as he set the toy boy and arrows back under his bed and crawled onto it. He hugged both his parents and they tucked him in as he began to fall asleep with the lights being turned off. Last one for them to say good night to was Dick who sat on his bed holding a batarang as he laid under the blankets.
"Time for bed little bird." Bruce told his youngest who set the batarang on the night table and was tucked in.
"Night daddy. Night mommy."
"Night little birdie." Selina whispered as he was beginning to fall asleep.
With the kids all fast asleep in their beds, Bruce and Selina went to their own bedroom to change into their pajamas. Selina felt her husband hug her from behind and then move them both over to the bed to lay on it. They looked into each others' eyes as they got under the blankets and were starting to fall asleep when the room's door opened for Dick to come running in with Jason. Both boys crawled in between their parents who had no problem with them sleeping in the bed with them. Though soon Artemis and Roy join for the four kids to be sharing the bed with their parents and smiles were on the adults' faces. Soon the six of them were fast asleep in the bed with the kids cuddling up to their parents.
