So I read this fic again. It's been so long since I last looked at it. I got this idea in my head. I showed Dick's reaction to Harrison and Marie being born, I wanted to show a bit more on Alex. This came about. I hope you enjoy.
I Want Another
Dick smiled as he watch his kids run around the back yard with Wally. Harrison and Marie were getting so big. They were almost three now. They hadn't shown any signs of their Tamaranean roots just yet. Kori had said that since they were only half, they might be more human than anything. Dick hoped that, that was the case. He didn't want his kids to develop those powers. He had left the hero business the day he and Wally decided to have kids.
"Dick, come join us," Wally called out to his husband.
Dick smile and walked to the stairs. He joined his family. The twins laughed and played for hours. Dick wondered how they could have so much energy. Eventually they grew tired. Dick and Wally carried the two inside and made them dinner. The two caught a second wind after dinner.
"How can they be so hyper? I thought we played them out," Wally asked as he watched the two run around the living room with each other.
"Aren't you just glad that they're mine and not yours? I don't think I could take another speedster," Dick joked.
"Would that be such a bad thing?" Wally asked slowly as he kept his eyes trained on the kids.
"What?" Dick asked looking to Wally shocked.
"I kind of want another one," Wally admitted his cheeks red.
"Wally you are adorable," Dick replied taking a step closer to his husband. "No that wouldn't be a bad thing by the way. I've love to have a mini wally running around."
"Really?" Wally asked shocked.
"Yeah, I mean Harry and Marie mean the world to me," Dick said, "I know you love them too, but I think it's different when it's your own kid."
"I do love them Dick, I would not trade the twins for the world. They are my world along with you, you know that," Wally agreed quickly. "I just want…"
"I get it, besides as an only child I always told myself I wanted a big family. When you and I got together I never thought we would even have a kid, much less two."
"Wanna go for four?" Wally asked wiggling his eyebrows at the raven haired man.
"Don't even joke," Dick said. Wally laughed.
They looked to their kids, who had suddenly gotten very quiet. In the few minutes it had taken for their discussion the two kids had crashed. They had managed to climb up onto the couch together. They were curled together sleeping.
"Yeah, I want another," Dick said smiling. Wally hugged Dick from behind.
"So why not put the kids to bed and we can try and make a baby," Wally purred in his ear. Dick laughed softly at that. Wally was so ridiculous sometimes.
-I Want Another-
Wally was frantically moving about Jen's room, making sure that she was comfortable. Jen was in labor and his baby could be born at any second. He wanted her as comfortable as possible.
"Wally relax, I'm fine," Jen said stopping the speedster in his tracks.
"I'm sorry Jen, I just...I want you comfortable, you didn't have to do this for us, especially given our history together," Wally said quickly.
"If I didn't want to do, do you think I'd be here right now?" Jen asked.
"I know, but…" Wally started.
"Look I'm just a surrogate, this child isn't mine in anyway. It's not even my egg like Kori did. I know this kid is yours and Dick's kid. I am just helping a couple of friends," Jen said.
"Thanks," Wally said. That was all he could say. There were no more words needed. Over the years their friendship had grown, much like Dick and Kori's had. Wally really couldn't imagine a better surrogate for him than Jen.
-I Want Another-
Dick was pacing back and forth. Harrison and Marie were playing in the corner with Kori. Garth, Gar, and Rachel were all watching Dick. They were all anxiously waiting for the arrival of baby Grayson-West number three. Wally was the only one allowed in the delivery room with Jen.
"Calm down Dick, the baby's gonna be fine," Rachel said.
"I know, I'm just anxious," Dick replied looking to the sorceress.
Wally appeared in the door in a flash. He was wearing a big smile. Dick was at his side in seconds. Everyone jumped up as well. They were all eager to hear the news.
"It's a boy," Wally said smiling.
"Harry, Marie did you hear that, you've got a baby brother," Dick said turning and kneeling down to his kids level.
"Brud-der?" Marie asked. Dick nodded his head.
"Come on, we can go see him," Wally said holding a hand out to Harrison. Dick stood and took Marie in his arms. He followed Wally to the nursery. Wally pointed to a small red headed baby. He told the kids that was their brother.
"Alexander," Dick said.
"Yeah, baby Alex," Wally agreed. The two men shared a smile. Their family was complete.
So there you go, this idea just hit me. I had to write it. I may occasionally post some more drabbles here. I may even post some other TT stuff eventually. I've been rewatching the series for the hundredth time.
Always
