(1 month later…)
After my little "breakdown", though I hate calling it that, Diana and I are closer then ever. We never had everyone back over. We finished putting things together and decorating the room by ourselves. I had a little bit of Alfred's help moving the crib, but other then that I was fine.
I'm in the master bedroom, making the bed and getting everything cleaned up when I hear Diana shout in pain. My head shoots up and I'm running out of the room. I quickly regained my speed and agility along with the arm strength. At least, a lot faster then anyone thought I would
I find Diana on the floor in the kitchen. "Diana!" I shout as I run over to her and see that she's bleeding all over the floor. Shit I think, but then Diana screams in pain again.
Alfred comes into the room as I pick up Diana, ignoring the stabbing pain in my side. I see Alfred give me a quick look of disapproval as I pass him on the way to the car. He follows me and asks, "Master Bruce, what is going on?"
"I think Diana has gone into an early labor." I say as I head outside and head towards the car. Just then Diana screams again and throws her head back and clutches her stomach.
Alfred rushes in front of me and opens the door and I set Diana inside the car and run around the front of the car and hop into the driver seat.
I speed out of the drive as Diana yells, "Bruce! The babies are coming! I think something's wrong!"
I reach and grab her hand and hold it as she squeezes real hard.
(At the hospital, Diana's in labor….)
"Mrs. Wayne, I need you to push. I need you to push because this baby is coming really fast." Diana grabs my hand and shouts as she pushes. I wipe hair out of her face and kiss her forehead. I'm smiling the whole time and she is too when she's not pushing. Not once has she done the thing that most pregnant women in labor would do when they blame the father for the child, or in our case, children, for doing this. The whole time she was actually thanking me; which I think really surprised the doctors.
"Once more, Mrs. Wayne." The doctor tells her then we hear a baby screaming. I look at Diana and she is smiling with a look of relief on her face.
"Mr. and Mrs. Wayne, you have a baby girl." They say, wrapping her up and handing her out to me. I look at Diana and she nod and I let go of her hand and go over to grab our little girl. I carefully pick her up and cradle her in my arms and look at her and see that she has more of her mom's features, except she has my jaw and my eyes. I walk over to Diana and am about to hand our little girl over when the doctor starts freaking out. I turn and look at the doctor who is suddenly staring at me. He then motions me over and I come over to him and he leans in and whispers in my ear, "You're expecting twins, correct?" I nod my head slowly.
"Well, I think your son is a still born." My eyes widen and I look to Diana. She looks worried. I walk over and hand her the baby and put my hand on Diana's shoulder and then ask for a moment with Diana. The doctors leave and say that I have 2 minutes.
"Bruce, what's going on?" she asks with a panicked voice.
"Dian-" I start as she cuts me off.
"Where's my son?" she asks, while trying to not flip her lid.
"Diana," I say, squeezing her shoulder. She stops and looks up at me with tears in her eyes. "We lost him. He's a stillborn. The doctors have to have you push him out, but he's dead." I tense my shoulders and look at Diana as she sobs. Then the doctors come back in and insist that Diana pushes again. She nods and hands me the baby.
I look down at Diana with a grave face and hold her hand with my right hand and hold the baby in my left arm.
The whole time she's pushing, she's crying. They finally are able to get our son out and even though he's dead, they wrap him anyway and hands him to me. I hand our girl to Diana and then look at our boy. He looks exactly like me, but with Diana's hair again and her eyes. I bring him over and Diana takes a look at him and her hand flies up to her mouth. Then, the baby starts coughing and I almost drop him. The doctor rushes over and grabs him from my hands and when I try and grab him back, he turns to me and says, "Sir, I know you want your son, but we have to get him checked out and fast." I nod and he runs out of the room. I turn around and look at Diana and she has a look of utter puzzlement on her face.
I walk over and lean over and kiss both her and the baby's forehead and as I lean back, I say, "I guess he was alive the whole time?" I was so confused, but Diana just smiles and leans her head back.
"So, this is Ella Victoria, correct?" I ask.
She tilts her head forward and looks at the baby and says, "Yes, this is baby Ella." And she smiles and leans forward to kiss Ella's forehead. Then, the doctor comes in with our son and hands him to me.
"Well, your son will have to have a surgery on his lungs and then he'll be as healthy as his sister." He then smiles at us and leaves the room.
"He looks so fragile." I whisper as I look at him. He seems to be asleep. Diana asks, "Can I hold him?" I look at her and hold an arm out for Ella and pass her our son.
"Is he Grant like we talked about?" I ask.
"Actually, I was thinking Xavier. I know it's not what we had originally, but he just looks like an Xavier." She then looks up at me and I smile and nod.
The doctor walks into the room and asks, "So, do you have names yet?" We nod.
"Xander Charles," I say.
"And Ella Victoria," Diana finishes.
"Adorable. Congratulations. I hate to break this up, but in order for your son to stay healthy for now, we need to take him."
Diana looks at me and then down at Xavier and hands him over when the doctor comes over. "Thank you," the doctor says and then leaves the room. I look at Diana and smile at her and she smiles sleepily back.
A nurse comes in for Ella and takes her to the nursery.
I look over and shake Diana before she falls asleep. "You did it." I say and give her a kiss. "You gave birth to both of our children and did a marvelous job at it, though I am struggling to get the blood flowing back through my hand." She smiles and then slaps at my arm and starts to drift off.
"I love you." I whisper and kiss her once more on the forehead and then I sit in the hospital chair and just watch her sleep.
A/N: So, nobody gave me any ideas, but it's ok. I forgive you all! I think I did pretty well on coming up with all this on my own. I think I'll write one more chapter for this fic then I'm going to end it. I do want Bruce and Diana to have more kids in the future and I don't want you guys missing the twins growing up, so I'll have a fic about all the little moments between this story and the next one (Hippolyta comes to Man's World and meets Diana and some man dressed in all black and dressed like a bat….) But, I will post the last chapter and then "Proof Bruce is Happy" will be done. If you have any events that you want to read about through their relationship, let me know and I'll add it into the little moments story-though I probably won't call it that. So, like their wedding, their honeymoon, and moments of the twin's lives. Let me know!
P.S. Xander is pronounced Zander
Thx,
AMM
