His fingers trailed up her leg and up her thigh and she smiled at him broadly.

"Your hand is on my side of the bed." She joked, referring to a fight they had to break up between the twins just hours ago.

"You know, for people who don't pay for anything, they sure know how to lay claim to things." He muttered.

Zatanna's eyes glowed with mirth. "It's hereditary." She purred.

Dick roped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him, causing her to giggle.

"Damn right." He agreed as he brought his lips to hers and pulled her on top of him.

She adorned his face, neck, and upper body with kisses and he returned the favor with an unparalleled excitement. Suddenly he flipped her onto his back and towered over her, her hair spilling over the pillows and her blushing face adding to her naked beauty.

"Zatanna Grayson, you are-"

"Mommy?" a voice called from outside their bedroom.

Zatanna threw her hands over her mouth to muffle her laughter at Dick's facial expression. Which showed severe disappointment and immediate exhaustion.

"Mommy?" the voice called again. Zatanna went to respond and Dick looked at her alarmed.

"No." he whispered furiously. "No, he has to do this himself Zee, I'm building a man out there."

"Dick." She whispered back in John's defense. Her eyes resigned but beseeching him. "What if it's serious? Please."

"Daddy?" John called from behind the door.

"You're coddling him." He told her.

"I know," Zatanna confessed, she suddenly grabbed Dick's face and brought it to hers. She kissed him lustfully, with every bad intention in mid and could feel the muscle that rippled on top of her as he fought and lost for control over his body. When they broke apart, he gave up, got out of bed and walked into their bathroom.

Before he walked in, he grabbed her nightgown off the hook on the door and threw it at her.

"We used to sleep naked." He reminded her.

"Nepo" Zatanna ordered.

The door swung open and John walked straight to their bed and climbed into it at the center, his favorite spot.

"Hey baby." Zatanna as she brought her arms around him. "Can't sleep?"

The seven year old shook his head and rested his head comfortably on his mother's arms.

"Wanna talk about it?" she offered.

John shook his head and his lower lip slipped into a pout.

"If you don't tell us whats bothering you, we cant help you champ." Dick told him as he climbed back into bed.

John shrugged.

It'd been this way for days now, he would wake up in the middle of the night and wander into their bedroom before falling asleep there. Zatanna didn't mind in the slightest but Dick had another opinion on the matter.

"Listen champ, one day me and mommy might not be here, you won't have anyone's bed to crawl into. What are you gonna do then?"

"Dick." Zatanna protested.

"Where are you guys going?" John asked suddenly.

"Nowhere." Zatanna promised as she subtly punched Dick in the arm. "Daddy just means that if you can't talk about it, we can't fix it and if we can't fix it you'll never be able to seep by yourself."

"I don't care" he told them, "I like sleeping with you guys. It makes me feel good. I don't want to sleep by myself ever again."

Dick threw a glance at Zatanna that said I told you so.

"Well, you're not by yourself, Wyette's there with you."

John pursed his lips and hung his head.

Zatanna and Dick shared a suspicious glance.

"Hey, what's that about?" Dick asked him.

He shook his head and curled into Zatanna's side. Zatanna ran her fingers through his unkept hair.

"Wye can't feel it, she doesn't know." John whispered.

"Know what?" Zatanna asked softly. "Are you hiding something from her?"

John shook his head and let out a shaky breath, "I don't know, I can't explain it."

"Well you have try, right?" Zatanna encouraged him softly.

His big blue eyes implored her for understanding and as Zatanna went to recant her previous statement Dick squeezed her arm softly and spoke.

"Hey, what do I always say?" Dick asked him.

John's eyes flashed up to his father's, he let go of another breath. "We only lose when we don't try."

Dick nodded solemnly.

"I think something bad is going to happen. I keep having bad dreams about bad people being all around us and I don't know what to do." He admitted. "I'm scared. They keep trying to break our family."

"Sweetheart," Zatanna started only t be cut off.

"No one is going to break us apart." Dick promised; Zatanna flashed him a look and he continued. "Look champ, I can't promise that bad things wont happen but in life or death, we're Grayson's, we're always together."

"Because of our magic?" John asked carefully.

"Because of our magic and because of our love," Zatanna explained. "No matter what happens no one will ever be able to take away the love we have for you or the bond we share. That's what make family so special."

"You promise?" John asked.

"Yes." Zatanna and Dick replied.

Dick ruffled his hair and placed a kiss on top of the unkept ebony that covered his head.

"But you don't have to worry about those things champ. Me and mommy, are going to protect you with everything we've got. Everything. So go to sleep, we'll be here when you wake up. Promise."

John nodded snuggled further into his mother's embrace. Dick reached over and closed the lights before wrapping his arms around them both. Zatanna stroked John's hair soothingly until he fell asleep.

Once he was nodded off, she looked at Dick, who looked right back at her. They'd learned a long time ago not to doubt either twins' intuition. She opened her mouth to speak and Dick shook his head mutely and his eyes flashed down to the child between them. She nodded in silent agreement and sighed.

Dick pressed his lips to her forehead and closed his eyes before a thud at the door alerted his senses. Before he could even grab the weapon concealed beneath their mattress, a sound al too familiar to him calmed his nerves.

"Daddy." Wyette yawned as she walked into the room, her stuff rabbit tucked beneath one arm and a blanket in the other.

No further explanation was needed as they had both known that with one twin present the other was soon to follow.

Zatanna giggled. "Come on up hun, John's in here too. Just snuggle in."

Wyette trudged to stand on Dick's side of the bed and simply lifted up her arms. Dick scooped her and placed her right beside him and her brother. She nestled herself into the tight embrace and was off in a matter of seconds.

Dick pressed a kiss to her head before noticing her hair and starting to lightly re-braid the loose pattern Zatanna did for her every night.

Zatanna watched him with mischief in her eyes.

"You coddle them too." She mouthed before sticking her tongue out.

Dick rolled his eyes. "We used to sleep naked." He muttered again before turning over and sleeping.
