It was a cold snowy day which had turned into a cold snowy night. Selina had stayed over because it had gotten late and Bruce convinced her that the roads were too bad to drive. It was 3 am now and everyone except Selina was asleep. Even Bruce was in bed. He had called off patrol and came home early on account of the weather. Selina was now in his standing over him watching him sleep. She didn't know what she was doing or why she was there. She couldn't sleep she was anxious. She was now at the halfway point in her pregnancy and she was getting more nervous by the day. He looked so peaceful when he slept. All the years and stress from his "job" seemed to melt away and he truly looked his age.

Bruce didn't notice Selina was in his room for several minutes. He was in a very deep sleep. Just then Selina moved and knocked some books off of his nightstand. The noise startled Bruce and woke him up. He turned and was shocked to find Selina standing over him looking very sorry. "Selina? What are you doing?" "Is everything ok?" "The baby?" he asked. "I'm fine, the baby's fine"I'm sorry, I just- she paused-couldn't sleep." I didn't mean to wake you up." "were you watching me sleep?" "Yes" she admitted guiltily. Bruce still didn't understand what she was doing in his room in the middle of the night but decided not to push it. "You know some warm milk or tea would help." Oh, ok thanks." She said. A minute of silence passed and then "I'll have to try that." She said and turned to leave albeit a little dissapointed. Bruce turned to lie down and go back to sleep and then he had a thought. Was he supposed to help her make the tea or whatever? Something inside him said that that was exactly what he should do. "Selina wait." He said turning back around and getting out of bed. "I'll help you." "Ok she said with a smile."

They went downstairs to the kitchen. "Tea or milk?" he asked. "Milk I think" she said. He filled a pot with some milk and turned to look at Selina. She really was beautiful. They sat at the island that was in the middle of the kitchen and talked while they waited for the milk to heat up. They had gotten very close in the last few months and had become very good friends. He felt like he could tell her anything. Well, almost anything. After a few minutes the milk was ready. But when Bruce went to take the milk off the stove he actually touched the hot part of the stove. "OW!" he yelled as he pulled his hand away. "What? What is it?" Selina asked concerned. "Oh its nothing, I just burned my hand on the stove." "Oh I'm sorry; here let me help" she said and brought him over to the sink to run his hand under some cool water. He didn't know exactly how it happened one minute she was standing next to him running his hand under the cold water and the next they were kissing, passionately kissing for several minutes.

It's not like he had never thought of it In fact he had thought about it many times over the last couple months but he had always discounted it as not a wise course of action but now, now it was happening and he had to admit he couldn't be happier. He just didn't know how Selina was going to react to it. Then after several minutes of passionate kissing he noticed a beeping sound echoing throughout the kitchen and noticed that it was the stove which he had set to beep if it had been if the stove top was on for too long. He pulled away from the kiss and went to turn it off and then they stood there staring at each other neither of them sure of what to say about what had just happened. Finally, "I'm going to go back to bed." Selina said. Bruce just nodded and then put his head in his hands as Selina ascended the stairway. He stood there for several minutes head in his hands.

What had he done?
