Clark, Oliver and Dinah, Diana made it to the manor in time for dinner. Joining everyone at the table with the ever growing bat family. Clark like seeing his friend happier these days but also at the same time Clark and Diana could sense a bit of sadness coming off their friend. They didn't push for answers from Bruce knowing in time he would open up to them when he wanted too.

It seemed tonight their friend would tell them what has been on his mind these past days. They look around the table to see three small children sitting at the table. Oliver raised an eye brow but didn't say anything but eat his dinner.

Selina let out a hiss of pain and putting a hand on her right side. Bruce looked at her, worry on his face. Selina smiled at him, giving him a look that said I'm fine.

"Sorry but our son kicks too hard for his own good. Damn that kid kicked me in my rib. Ouch." Selina said as she rubbed her right side rib cage while glaring at Bruce. Going back to her dinner and eating it all before asking for seconds.

"So it's a boy then?" Dinah asked Selina

"Yes and I was hoping this time it would be another girl. Too many boys in the Wayne family." Selina said to Dinah

"Selina had a daughter before our son here. I should say another child kept from me. Helena and Eztli say hello to my friends. You too Hunter." Bruce said looking at the young children.

Oliver and Dinah looked at the children in shock. While Clark and Diana looked at them and waited for someone to speak first. The friends looked back at Bruce then to Selina and then back to the children.

"Hi my name is Eztli and this is my twin brother Hunter and my older sister Helena." Eztli said as she stood up her chair so everyone could see her as she spoke. Once she finished speaking, she sat back down.

"They are beautiful Bruce and welcome to the family children. My name is Dinah and this is Oliver my husband." Dinah said to the young children who smiled at her and then to Oliver

"My name is Clark. Nice to meet you." Clark said to the children

"My name is Diana and nice to meet you guys." Diana said to the children

Everyone finished their food and made their way to the large living room. Everyone sat while Helena climb on to her father's lap. While Eztli sat in Jason's lap and Hunter sat in his older sister's lap, Cassandra.

"This is a shock Bruce. It seems your family grows more every day." Diana said to Bruce

"I know. I'm just wondering how everyone will cope when the baby is born. That will be five kids in school this coming school. I wonder how the school will take that. It's going to be handful." Selina said as she rubbed her now growing stomach

"I could see it." Bruce said with a small laugh

Everyone sat around for a while talking before getting up and heading home. The bat children plus the older ones got up to head upstairs. Stephanie would be staying the night in the guest room with Cassandra. Barbara staying in Dick's room. Jason in his old room with the three younger children who now seem to have a favorite sibling.

Once everyone said their good nights and went upstairs and got ready for bed. Bruce made the choice to not go out for patrol wanting to stay with his family for the night. Everyone fell asleep at once, it was a long day for everyone and eventful too.

The bat family slept in until 10 am the next day. Waking up to a full house for once, so strange to Bruce but something he would grow to love every day. Breakfast itself could be said the least eventful. Bruce and Selina trying hard not to laugh at the large crowd of people at the table. Alfred seemed to like it and also not trying to laugh as Jason and Dick help their younger siblings eat.

Yes, Bruce would grow to love seeing his family so happy. His only wish that he did this sooner than later but no regret about his family now. Selina took his hand and put her head on his shoulder and they both smiled. They would take every day one step at a time and learn as they went long in this game that they called life.

They wouldn't hold any regret about the "what if's" in life but only to push forward. They would be getting married soon after their son would be born. Life is good now for everyone, Bruce got his son Jason back, and Tim and Damian were acting like real brothers now. What more could they ask for?
