Chapter 11- Announcements

"Are you sure you want to go? I can always tell Bruce that you're..."

"Dick, I'm okay. Alittle pregnancy sickness doesn't hurt anyone." She said. "Plus our appointment isn't until Wednesday so I cant do much now. Please don't make me stay home..." she looked at him with puppy eyes and he instantly gave in.

"Okay..."Dick said slowly reaching down to press a kiss to her slightly curled hair. Placing a hand on her waist he grabbed the keys with his free hand and they made their way to the car.

"Dick! Zatanna! How are you all?" Diana asked. "It's so good to have you here!"

"It's glad to be here, this is the day we got you in this family and I'd do anything for family.." Dick explained hugging Zatanna closer.

"Awe, Dick. You're gonna make me cry!" Diana exclaimed pulling him into a hug. Suddenly Diana pulled away noticing the cold weather and large coats they were wearing. "It's freezing out there, come in here you two." She said stepping aside.

"Thank you Diana. I was getting cold." Zatanna explained giving her an appreciative smile which earned a smile in return.

"So Helena...I've heard you just turned 4 sorry we couldn't make it we were on our honeymoon." Zatanna replied sadly.

"It's okay, so does that mean you really my sissy now?" She asked.

Zatanna laughed eyes a little watery at how sweet Helena was being and nodded. "So how about we go eat because I'm hungry." Zatanna said trying to get up.

"Hungry? I'm Starrrrrrrrrving!" Helena exclaimed. Seeing her new sister in law was having some trouble getting off the ground Helena went to give her a small hand that surprisingly helped. Well, not that surprisingly seeing she is half Amazonian. (I'm not sure if that's how to spell it..sorry ;) )

They got to the table and saw the great feast that was set before them.

"Wow, what's with all the food?" Damian asked as he and Dick came back from playing video games in the game room.

"It's the day mommy and daddy got married silly." Helena said running to jump on him.

"Oh, I knew that." Damian scoffed.

"Yeah right...what ever helps you sleep at night." Helena said scoffing back at one of her older brother.

"Okay, you two let's come and eat. Then we can have cake." Bruce said smiling.

"Cake!" The kids screamed in union.

"Wait, did you make it this time because last time you made cake...it gave me a stomach ache." Damian said slowly.

Helena made a face and held her stomach remembering how Bruce had wanted to make a cake for Diana for her birthday and how it went horribly wrong and luckily Alfred had somehow knew and made a back-up cake.

"No, Alfred did this time." Bruce said slightly irritated that his family no longer let him near the cake ingredients.

The kids let out an exaggerated sigh of relief earning a group of laughter from the adults as they all sat down and started to eat.

Zatanna was halfway done with her food when she felt it coming up again. Dick, who was sitting behind her had noticed, (who couldn't with her stomping on his foot for his attention).

"Zatanna? Is everything okay, babe?" He asked quietly as everyone listened to what the four year old had learned at day care today. Everyone too interested in Helena telling them about how her friend Edward who she had taken to call Eddie and said that he called her 'Leena'.

"I think I'm going to..." She paused covering her mouth and ran to the nearest bathroom. Everyone was silent.

"Dick where'd Zee go?" Diana asked.

"She...isn't feeling well." Dick smiled wryly. "I should probably..." He motioned in the direction Zatanna went before slowly getting up and walking away but was soon speeding as he got out of the dinning room.

Zatanna and Dick sat back down acting as if nothing ever happened.

"Okay, is something wrong, Dick?" Bruce asked.

"Well..." Dick paused and looked at Zatanna who shrugged and started to eat again. "Zatanna's pregnant." Dick replied smiling wider.

"That's great!" Diana squealed.

"Congratulations Master Richard." Alfred said politely. "You as well, Mrs. Zatanna."

"Thanks Alfred." Zatanna said across the table.

Everyone turned to Bruce, except for the kids who were still confused.

"I'm happy as well...I'll have a trust fund sent over when the child is born." Bruce explained.

"Bruce there's really no need." Dick countered.

"Dick, it's his way of saying he's proud of you..." Zatanna mumbled. Dick understood and thanked Bruce.

"So...what's happening?" Helena asked.

"You sister, Zatanna, has a baby in her stomach." Diana explained.

"Oooooh." The Helena replied. "Did Dickie put it in there?" Helena asked.

The adults looked at each other before slowly nodding.

"So Dickie is going to be a dad? Like Bruce?" Damian asked. Chuckling at himself just thinking about his big brother changing a diaper.

The adults nodded.

"So everyone has a dad?" Helena asked. The adults nodded more. "So, where's your dad Zee Zee?" Helena asked.

Zatanna visually flinched but took in a shaky breath. "He's...not here right now..."

"Like is he in Bludhaven where you live?" Helena asked curious.

"Um, no I actually don't know where he is right now." Zatanna asked blinking back tears.

"Oh okay." Helena said as she continued to eat her ice cream.

Zatanna let out a sigh of relief as she went back to eating too and everything slowly became back to normal with little small conversations starting again.

Dick walked out of the shower and saw Zatanna's small petite frame shaking and curled in a ball. Small sobs echoed trough the room. The sight broke his heart and he was reminded of the small young girl that he had fell in love with long ago. The girl who had lost her father to fate. The girl who didn't have Bruce or Alfred to care for her. The girl who he had made his responsibility to care for, to make her smile, and to cheer her up.

"Hey Zee..." He said softly leaning his back on the best post like her and wrapping and arm around her arm. "Not feeling the aster?" He smiled saddly.

She did her best to wipe away the tears and looked at him in the darkness, his blue eyes shinning. She shook her head 'no'.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I...was just remembering my dad that''s all...and my mom. What if...what if I can't be a good mother because I didn't have one?" She asked.

"Zee, you're going to be a great mother. I see how you are with kids. With Jai and Lian and Helena and Tim. It's just like that." He replied.

"Well, it's not because they aren't my kids. I- I just feel like I'm going to fall while holding the baby...our baby."

"And if you do fall I'll be there to catch you." Dick replied.

"But, what if I mess up?" She asked.

"Then we'll learn from our mistakes and make it better. We always do."

"Wow Grayson, I don't know how you do it...but you really are always going to be there for me." She smiled.

He took his hand up and cupped her cheek planting a soft kiss on her lips.

"That's my job." He smirked.
