Nightwing
Sunday 06:30 near Happy Harbor
"Wally you're kidding me." I tell him.
"What are you talking about?" He asks.
"We've only had Jamie for 45 minutes and you're reading a book on how to take care of your kid?"I ask him.
"Dick, she hasn't spoken a word to us in the last 45 minutes that's not normal. I bet Blake is chatting up a storm with Troy and Jason." He exclaims as he flips through pages.
"Wally, would you please stop talking about them. This week is about me, you, and Jamie."
"Jamie! Please talk to daddy I'll give you anything you want!" Wally says picking Jamie up and shaking her.
"She's probably hungry." I tell him. I take her out of his hands and carry her to the kitchen. "What should we eat?" I ask her and she doesn't respond.
"Maybe she can't speak English!" Wally snaps his fingers. He takes Jamie and puts her to sit down on the table.
"Parlez-vous français?" Wally asks. Jamie looks at him without an expression on her face.
"Anata wa nihongo ga hanasenai? "Wally asks her and again a blank expression.
"How do you know those languages?" I ask him.
"Because it's sexy." Wally answers, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Okay enough from you." I tell him and take Jamie again.
"Hey what do families usually do?" Wally asks taking Jamie back and holding her in his arms.
"I don't think you should ask me that." I tell him.
"Why?"
"My best answer is dressing up in a cape and getting a new name in order to beat up bad guys." I shrug.
"Right we need help . . . from a female."
"Well we can't bother Canary." I tell him.
"Aunt Iris is pregnant." Wally mutters.
"Who do we have left?"
"Barbra!"
"Huh? Why Barbra?" I ask.
"She's a female and she plays with the kids her dad finds from the streets." Wally says.
"Oh right she does." I tell him and get my phone.
"Hello?" She answers the phone.
"Come over here, right now." I tell her.
"But I'm-."
"Now." I tell her. Not too long after Barbra's at the doorstep knocking.
"Thank goodness!" Wally yells hugging her.
"What's up?" She asks closing the door behind her. Wally puts on a sad face and points at Jamie.
"She's not eating or talking and we're getting worried!"
"How old is she?" Barbra asks.
"Six."
"Her name?"
"Jamie." Wally answers.
"Hi Jamie, I'm Barbra. Would you like to be my friend?" Barbra asks.
"Yes." Jamie answers and hugs Barbra.
"So she does speak English." Wally mutters
"How did she do that?" I ask.
"Maybe Jamie's a homophobe." Wally says.
I stare at the little girl she has bright green eyes and long black hair with freckles.
"Wally." I call to him grabbing his arm and resting my head on his shoulder.
"Ya?" He answers as he analyzes Jamie.
"Let's say we could actually have a kid. Don't you think it would look just like Jamie?" I ask him. Wally stares at her and nods his head.
"OH! This is great our kid looks like us! Unlike Blake he has blonde hair and blue eyes! Yes, we beat them in the looks department." Wally cheers.
"Wally!" I yell at him.
"She said she'll start talking to guys now, right Jamie?" Barbra interrupts us. We watch as Jamie nods her head.
"And if you want something to do. Why not start with grocery shopping? Every family does that." Barbra tells us.
"Simple enough. Thanks Barbs we'll call you if we need more help." I tell her.
"No problem. And Wally relax taking care of a kid isn't as hard as you think." She tells him tapping his shoulder.
09:00
We're in a nearby supermarket looking around. Jamie's in the cart humming something to herself and I push it looking at all the food we pass by. I wonder which one kids like.
"What do you want to eat, Jamie?" I ask her.
"Pizza." She says.
"Umm how about something healthier." I tell her.
"Chocolate." She says.
"You must mean carrots." I tell her picking one up.
Wally
"Hey I need to pick up more vegetables. How about you guys go ahead and get some other things so we can leave faster." Dick tells me.
"Aye ya captain." I tell him and push the cart. Jamie looks at me teary eyed.
"What's wrong Jamie?" I ask her.
"Chocolate" She says.
"Oh do you want chocolate?" I ask her. And she nods her head. She's so cute! "Twix or Snicker?" I ask her.
"Twifs." She says and I start to get teary eyed by her cuteness.
"Here have two!" I tell her giving them to her. She opens one and starts to eat it. "Jamie we have to buy it first." I tell her but she looks so happy. "Fine we'll just add them in even though they're empty." I mutter. She continues to enjoy her chocolate when Dick finds us.
"Ah! Wally what are you doing?"
"Shopping?" I answer.
"No, why is Jamie eating chocolate?"
"Okay we started off with two but she wanted more so now she has five more candy bars. We can always pay for them later." I inform him.
"This is too much candy! We're supposed to feed her not get her hyped on sugar."
"Kids love sugar!" I tell him.
"Not this much." Dick says he takes the unopened bars and puts them back. And Jamie looks sad again.
"Oh it's okay Jamie. When Dick leaves we'll get more." I tell her. She smiles at me and I get more bars.
12:00
Jamie lies down on the couch holding unto her stomach.
"Jamie what's wrong?" I ask her.
"My tummy hurts." She cries.
"Oh no!"
"See! I told you we weren't supposed to give her candy now look at her!" Dick complains.
"How was I supposed to know this would happen? I have a fast metabolism things like this never happens!" I tell him.
"And that's why we listen to me." Dick picks Jamie up and carries her into the kitchen. "Let's have some veggies." He says. Moments later Jamie walks in with two cups in her hands.
"Milk time" Jamie says handing me a cup of milk.
"Thank you." I tell her she climbs on the couch and sits next to me drinking away.
"You are so cute." I tell her putting my cup down. She looks at the cup and then at me. She does this a few more times and climbs down and back to the kitchen. She enters the living room with the milk jug and carefully pours me another cup full.
"Umm thanks. . ." I put on a smile staring at the cup.
"Milk time" She smiles at me and goes back on the couch. Again I drink the milk and again she refills it. This time I leave it there and she stares at me.
"Milk time" She says. And I look at her then the TV.
"Milk time" She repeats.
"No thanks I've-."
"Milk TIME!" She yells.
"I liked it better when you didn't talk." I mutter drinking more milk. She refills my cup over and over until the jug is completely empty.
"Now we need to buy milk." I tell myself drinking the last cup. Jamie leaves and I hope she isn't looking for something else for me to drink. I realize she hasn't come back and I have a sudden urge to pee. I walk up the bathroom and knock.
"I use it." Jamie says.
"Okay." I tell her I go to the other bathroom and knock.
"I'm masturbating right now come back later." Roy tells me.
"What the hell Roy?" I yell at him. Sometimes his random comments are out of this world.
"Just kidding Mr. Impulsive. I am currently taking a dump at the moment this may take a very long time."
"TMI Roy, TMI." I mutter leaving the door.
"Dick!" I yell.
"What?"
"Jamie gave me too much milk and I REALLY have to go!" I complain.
"Hold it in." He tells me.
"I drank the entire jug of milk there is no holding it in."
"Why would you drink the whole thing?" he asks.
"Jamie kept giving me m-."
"Jamie? Wally she's six why is she telling you what to do?"
"Look she's a real diva if she doesn't get her way." I point out.
"Just hold it." Dick tells me.
"All done!" Jamie says clapping her hands.
"Did you wash your hands?" Dick asks.
"Nope but I feel better now."
"That's good now go wash your hands."
"I don't want to." She says.
"Jamie, go wash your hands."
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Jamie"
"Milk time!"
"No, milk until you wash your hands."
"No, milk period it's all gone." I mutter
"Wally."
"I'll go pee." I tell him zooming into the bathroom.
20:30
"Okay Jamie the movie's over time for bed."
"Already?" Both Jamie and I ask.
"Yes, already. Come on I've already made up your bed." Dick says he leads her into her room and it's all pink and decorated for a princess.
"Wow." She gasps.
"Like it? Wally did it himself." Dick tells her. She nods her head and goes in her bed.
"Want me to read to you?" Dick asks.
"Yes." She says getting comfortable.

"Hey babe what do we do with this?" I ask Jason as I hold Blake upside down.
"Well for starters not that." He says removing the kid from my hands. He places him to sit next to me and turns on the T.V.
"Hey come here." I motion for Jason to come. He does and I kiss him.
"Ginger, as much as I want to, not in front of Blake." He tells me.
"Shit. This is boring." I tell him sitting back.
"Shit." A tiny voice mimics me.
"Shit!" It says again I turn to see Blake facing us. "Shit" He says again. Jason starts to laugh.
"I love this kid!" Jason says ruffling up Blake's hair.
"Shit!" He says again.
"Oh man this can't be good." I mutter.
"Don't worry, Ginger its fine." Jason assures me. "Right Blake?"
"Shit." Blake responds.
12:00
Jason
"What are we doing for lunch?" Ginger asks me.
"Shit." Blake says.
"You're still doing that?" Ginger asks.
"Let's eat out."
"Okay where?" He asks.
"Just trust me." I tell him. I take them to my favorite burger joint and Ginger looks at me.
"Jason, you're kidding."
"No way! We need to teach this kid how to be a man!" I tell him and lead them inside. We get inside the burger place and start to chow down.
"Do you like it?" I ask Ginger and I lightly kick at his feet. What? I really like doing that!
"Yeah." He says and looks at Blake. "You like it?" He asks.
"Yes! I want another daddy." Blake says.
"If he's daddy than who am I?" I ask Blake.
"You're babe." Blake says.
"You just love using my words." Ginger says shaking his head.
"What? He can't help it especially since you're so sexy." I tell my boyfriend. If Blake wasn't here I'd probably have Ginger pinned down to the bed by now.
"What are we doing now?" Ginger asks wiping his face.
"What do you want to do?" I ask
"Well I need a few items from the store if I'm going to have to feed both of you for the week." He tells me.
"Fine by us." I tell him.
14:10 Star City
"Push us!" I tell Ginger.
"Jason-."
"Come on Ginger please!" I whine.
"Ya daddy please! Me and babe want to go vroom vroom." Blake says
"Fine." Ginger says. "But as soon as this stops you two need to get out of this shopping cart." He warns us.
"Of course." I tell him. He pushes the cart and Black and I go through the parking lot. It rattles and moves up and down as we race down.
"Watch out!" I yell but it's too late we accidently hit this woman. Ginger runs over and helps her up.
"Are you okay?"Ginger asks her. The woman has long black hair and light blue eyes.
"I'm fine. And you're raising your child horribly." She tells him dusting herself off.
"And you know that how?" I ask her.
"Well I'm a mother." She answers.
"Huh? Then maybe you can assist us?" Ginger asks.
"Ginger?" I call to me boyfriend.
"What do you need help with?" She asks.
"Well we don't know what to do with a kid. He keeps saying shit and wont stop."
"Why is he saying that word?" She asks.
"Well I kind of said it in front of him. Speaking of things I say he's been calling my spouse babe." Ginger continues.
"Spouse?" I ask as my eyes widen. Did he just say I'm his spouse?
"Well you need to set the rules when it comes to kids. May I talk to him?" She asks.
"Yeah that would be great." Ginger says taking Blake out of the cart and placing him in front of her. She starts to talk to Blake and I get out of the cart.
"Ginger did you mean that?" I ask him.
"Mean what?"
"You said I'm your spouse."
"Jason we're not married yet. How could I have meant that?"
"Yet?" I ask.
"Huh?"
"You said we're not married yet meaning we will soon. You're going to marry me!" I tell him.
"Am not! Gosh Jason you're taking this a bit too far."
"Yes, Ginger I will marry you." I hug him.
"Okay I've talked to him now it's up to you two whether he keeps saying those words or not."
"Thanks so much. I'm Troy Harper by the way." Ginger tells her.
"Donna Troy. Here's my contact information if you need assistance with the kid." She says and walks away.
"I don't like her." I tell him
"Why not? She seems nice and she can help us" Ginger says.
"Let me rephrase that I don't like her talking to you."
"Huh?"
"You're mine Ginger and I don't want some hot chick talking to you."
"Jason, I'm gay."
"Well so is she!"
"Okay I'm completely lost."He tells me. I pick up Blake and put him in the car
"Hey Blake, what did she tell you?" Ginger asks
"She said if I don't stop swearing a monster will come and eat me whole. And if I don't stop calling Jason babe I'd be gay too. I don't even know what that is but I don't want it." Blake says.
"And you said she'll help us." I tell Ginger.

4:32 A.M Star City
*TAP*
Something hits the window *TAP* *TAP* *TAP *TAP*. I growl as I get out of bed. Bed? When did I fall asleep? I look to my left to find Black and Jason cuddled up together. At least I fell asleep with everyone else. *TAP*. Another tap hits the window and I decide to finally go over to it. I open the window and peer into the dark.
"Robin?" I call out I see sunglasses and he's too short and skinny to be Nightwing so he has to be him. The kid nods his head and I shake mine.
"What are you doing here?" I ask him.
"You said I can come anytime." He shouts back to me. I put a finger on my lips to tell him to keep quiet. I look back at Jason and Blake to make sure they're still asleep. They are.
"Give me a sec." I whisper over to him he nods his head and I head down stairs. I look down to see what I'm wearing and I can't believe I fell asleep in jeans this tight. I get two bottles of water and step outside.
"Here" I tell him when I meet up to him around the corner of my house.
"Thanks." He says taking the bottle from my grasp.
"I seriously need to give you my number." I tell him searching my pockets for my phone.
"My number?" He asks after choking on the water.
"Ya throwing rocks on my window isn't going to work out. Plus you might wake up Jason."
"What? Are you two married already? Or are you completely whipped?" He asks.
"Hey!" I grab him by the waist and start ruffling his hair.
"You're not denying it because one of them is true!" He laughs.
"I thought Nightwing was the only bat that bad talks me." I tell him.
"Sorry you make it hard not to."He says and I put him down.
"What brings you here so late?" I ask him.
"I've been thinking about this for a while." He says looking at the ground.
"What?" I ask him, looking at his shiny black hair. He takes a while to answer me back and then looks up at me.
"I want to tell you my real identity."
"You what?" I ask him, immediately I feel like I'm committing a crime.
"Well it's hard when people don't know the real me. And you said even though you don't know the real me I'm still cool. Plus you're going to be my brother-in-law, right?"
"About that . . . Jason's 16 and a lot can happen in two years you know o-." I stop as he starts to remove his sunglasses.
"You can't!" I yell pushing them back on.
"Why not?"
"Wouldn't Batman kill you?" I ask him.
"He didn't kill Nightwing when he told Wally."
"Well that's different. I'm a horrible person, you should tell someone else."
"I want to tell you."
"Umm what if I- no man this is hard. If only you were Nightwing . . ." I mutter trying to think of something to make him not show me who he is.
"Tim Drake." He says.
"No, that doesn't help." I mutter "Man if only I can remember what it was that distracts kids from important stuff." I mumble. Chips, food, candy, none of these works, he's a bat.
"Ah if you tell me who you are I'm telling Bat-." I look up to face him and I find out its too late. His sunglasses are off and he's nervously smiling at me.
"Hi I'm Tim-." I cover his mouth.
"Okay as long as you don't tell me your last name we're fine. I mean there's like millions of Tim's in the world right Tim- I mean Robin." I tell him almost in a panic. His blue eyes stare at me as he tries to move from my grip. Why are all their eyes blue? It makes me wonder about Batman's eyes. He pushes my hand away.
"I already told you my full name." He tells me he's kind of mad at me.
"What? When?" I ask him. And for a moment it flashes in my head "Tim Drake."
"No!" I yell and my knees hit the ground in frustration. "Erase my memory, quick!" I tell him and he stands there laughing at me.
"It's okay Bruce doesn't need to know." He says playing with my hair.
"Bruce?" I ask.
"Uh oh." He shrugs.
"You didn't!" I shout at him. Now I know Batman's name.
"Hmm I might as well tell you everything." He says shrugging again.
"I think you did that on purpose." I mutter.
"Look Bruce isn't going to kill either of us so it's fine."
"I'm more worried about you and Jason than myself." I tell him. "So his name is Bruce Drake?" What? Might as well ask questions since I know.
"No Bruce Wayne."
"Bruce Wayne? That millionaire or billionaire- well that rich guy in Gotham?"
"Yeah him."
"So that's why we were outside of Wayne Tech." I mutter to myself. "And that's where he gets all his money."
"Yeah. Nightwing's name was Dick Grayson but now it's Dick West." He tells me. I try to hold in my laughter but I can't hold it in. And laugh.
"I can't believe he laughs at the name Ginger when his name is Dick!" I laugh.
"Ya you knew what his name was before, but we kind of knocked you out and wiped your memory of that day." Tim says. Then it hits me that blue eyed boy with messy hair in that tent who I knew was no longer Nightwing was Dick. Wow I hate to admit this but no wonder Wally married the guy he's good looking.
"Red?" Tim calls to me when my eyes focus on where I am again I find him a little too close to my face. He blushes and moves back.
"Sorry you seemed out of it." He tells me.
"Oh sorry about that. Sine I know all now I guess you should tell me anything you want to get off your chest." I admit my defeat.
"Really?" He asks excited.
"Yeah really."
"Okay where do I start? I'm fourteen and a complete nerd." He starts off I listen as he continues on and that's basically all I do for the night well morning.
8:00 A.M
"Where were you?" Jason asks me when I enter the house.
"I was just with Tim. Learning the family tree." I tell him.
"What? I was supposed to tell you!" Jason complains.
"It's okay. You can tell me about your family." I tell him kissing his forehead.
"My family?"
"Ya you guys aren't blood related or anything." I tell him.
"Uh yeah I could." He says trailing off.
"Or not. Where's Blake?" I ask him. I change the subject because I can tell this isn't something he wants to talk about.
"Bathroom." Jason tells me.
"Man I really have to pee." I tell him.
"Use the other bathroom." He says.
"Blake clogged it with toilet paper. I need to go fix it." I tell him and knock on the bathroom door.
"Blake hurry up!" I tell him.
"I'm pooping!" He says and my body cringes. I was in the emergency state right now I was already holding this in from who knows when. But I was listening to Tim's story so I didn't want to disturb him or anything.
"Ah Jason I really have to go!" I complain.
"Me too! I just finished the orange juice and didn't realize."
"What do we do?" I ask.
"What else do we do?" He asks giving me a smirk. I stare at him and before we know it. We're peeing in the bathtub.
"Move over." Blake says.
"Huh?" I ask him. He comes in between me and Jason and stands on the edge of the bathtub and starts to pee with us.
"This is fun." He says.
"Jason, I think we're raising him wrong." I tell him.
"I think he's doing fine." Jason says hi-fiving Blake. Blake leaves the bathroom.
"I got to go scratch my nuts." He says.
"Did you say that?" I ask Jason.
"They were really itchy this morning." Jason pleads. I hold his face and bring him close for a kiss.
"I want to be alone with you." I tell him.
"Me too." He says kissing me again. "But we can't! Stupid rules and now Blake's with us."
"You know I have Donna's number for a reason." I tell him as I wash my hands.
"Hmm?" He asks coming from behind me he puts his arms around me to wash his hands and rests his chin on my shoulder.
"I mean I should ask her if she'll take care of Blake for us." I tell him.
"Do it, do it right now." Jason says.
"You have to let go of me first." I tell him.
"Don't want to." He complains.
"Come on Jason the faster we call the sooner we'll be alone."
"Okay no flirting with her." He says. I leave the bathroom to find Blake watching SpongeBob.
"Is this how you scratch your nuts?" I ask him
"Every day." He tells me. I pick up my phone and go through the contacts when I don't find her name under D I figure I put it in last name first. Why would I do that? Passing through the Ts I find Tim and again I think to myself why would I do that? I should have put it in as Robin. I click 'Troy, Donna' and that phone starts to ring.
"Hello?" She answers.
"Hi Donna. I have a favor to ask of you." I tell her
"I'll take care of your kid today if you take care of mine tomorrow." She says. Wow.
"How did you know?"
"I don't but I have something to do tomorrow and my babysitter is busy." She tells me. I think about it for a second. We can't even take care of Blake how will we be able to take care of two kids? Then again Jason and I really need this opportunity to be alone but then again it's only for a few hours so-. Jason comes up to me shirtless his abs shine because he put oil on them and he presses his lips against mine
"Well I'm thinking really hard right now." I tell her trying to get a little more out of the deal.
"Bonus your kid can even sleep over." She says.
"Deal!" I tell her.
"I thought so. Give me your address and I'd be there in a few." She tells me.
Donna comes and takes Blake away he's happy to see this kid I think his name is Bob. And he leaves right away.
"What do you want to do?" I ask Jason.
"You." He says pulling me back inside and into the bedroom. Rapid kisses everywhere and I can quickly feel the temperature rise in the room.
"Jason." I tell him. He doesn't stop as he starts to bite my ear. "Jason you're sixteen." I remind him
"Age is only a number." He hums against my skin and kisses my neck.
"Are you sure?" I ask him. "Are you really sure you want to do this?" I ask, he stops what he's doing and looks at me.
"I want you so bad Ginger it hurts." He says and I let him continue. Hold up! I roll him over so I'm on top. I let one bat top me no way am I letting that happen twice.

"Excuse me, Mr. West but can you tell me what this is?" Roy asks. I look over to what he's talking about and he's pointing at Jamie.
"Dude where were you for the last two days?"Wally asks.
"I was so into my calculating that the farthest I've gone over the last two days was the bathroom."
"Calculating?" Wally asks staring at Roy. Roy nods.
"You see Mr. Impulsive-." That's as much as I can hear as he starts to whisper.
"If you must know Roy, Jamie is a girl and we're taking care of her for a while." I tell him as I hand Jamie apple slices.
"Say it isn't so Mr. West!" Roy looks at me shocked.
"What?" I ask him.
"Don't tell me you found a-." He stops to swallow adding in his drama "little West." He says.
"Are you saying she's our daughter?" Wally asks.
"Is she not?" Roy asks.
"No, Roy we're just taking care of her for the week." I tell him.
"Good then I accept."
"What?" I ask him.
"I shall be your only child. You see I don't need siblings or anything so you can stop playing nanny of the week."
"Shut up Roy. I don't know what child will frame pictures of his own dad in his room."
"A child whom really loves his dad." Roy answers.
"Naked?" Wally asks.
"And respects." Roy answers.
"You're unbelievable. Why are you still here?"
"You're not thinking of kicking me out, are you?"
"I think about it every second." Wally says
"Said the guy who let him in." I say through clenched teeth.
"Daddy, milk time!" Jamie says. And Wally cringes in his seat.
"Did you just call him daddy?" I ask Jamie. She nods her head. "Who am I?" I ask her.
"Doctor Veggie!" She says and opens her arms wide.
"Doctor Veggie?" I ask. I'm not sure if I like the title so much and I really want to know how exactly Wally got the title of 'daddy' and I didn't.
"Wow looks like its game night!" Roy says looking at his watch.
"Now I'm beginning to think game night is just a random night you decide to play games." Wally says throwing something at Roy. It hits Roy's head and he ignores it.
"Well game night is a game in itself." He says he leaves and comes back advertising what's in his hand. 'Twister'
"Oh Twister that's a bit straightforward, don't you think?" Wally asks.
"How so Mr. Impulsive?"
"Well Twister, really? I bet you want me to be the person who calls out the positions so that you can touch Dick all you want on the mat. Well guess what crazed beast. Jamie's going to call everything out and I'm playing too." Wally tells him getting up from the chair.
"Crazed beast?" I say to myself. Isn't that a it much?
Wally
"If you insist Mr. Impulsive. Just don't get too impatient or vibrate on any of us." Roy says he unrolls the mat and hands Jamie the board.
"Do you know what to do?" I whisper to Jamie.
"Yes, you spin and announce." She says.
"No, you make sure to call things that keep Roy away from Dick." I tell her. She smiles and nods her head.
"Left foot, red." She says and the game begins. After over an hour of playing everything was going smoothly. Until Roy caught on to my plan. He started to purposely move from the side he was on get over me. Which was really awkward he was above me at some point. He was even breathing on me for a while and then he moves over to Dick. Now he's on top of him. Dick's hand slips and he's basically lying down on top of him.
"Okay game over." I announce.
"Why?" Roy asks.
"Because I'm tired of this game." I tell him
"Then just leave."
"No you leave."
"No you."
"No you."
"Daddy!" Jamie calls. I look over to Jamie.
"Come here." She says beckoning me. I move off the mat and over to her.
"We need to get him where it hurts." Jamie whispers. Huh?
"How?" I ask her.
"I don't know." She shrugs. Then she points behind me. I turn to see Roy kissing Dick! Dick punches him square in the nose and Roy's off of Dick in a heartbeat.
"You did not just go there." I yell. Everything turns chaotic around me and my mind goes blank.
"Daddy!" I hear. And the next thing I know I have a fist in the air and I'm on top of a passed out Roy.
"What?" I ask myself.
"That's enough now Wally." Dick says rubbing my shoulder.
"What happened?" I ask. And I hear wailing behind me. It's Jamie.
"Daddy's scary." Jamie cries. "Very scary." Dick picks her up and cradles her in his arms.
"Go take a walk, calm down okay?" Dick says his voice is so calm. And I have no idea what's going on. Now I'm scared.

12:10 AM Star City.
What was I thinking? Sure I'm an idiot but I didn't know how much of an idiot I was until now. I stare at the two kids in my house running around the place making as much noise as possible. Something crashes and I don't even want to know what that was. I sit in the couch and just rub my temples wanting time to just stop.
"Ginger, you okay?" Jason asks grabbing my shoulder. I only stare at him blankly. I feel as if I'm brain dead and I've just realized the fact I haven't talked to Jason much since last night. He puts his hand through my hair and then stops midway holding his hand as if something just happened. Another loud sound echoes through the room and he goes towards it. Then a loud bang and I can't take it anymore.
"Let's go." I say out loud standing up.
"Put me down Jason!" Blake screams from the top of his lungs. Jason is holding Blake and Robert's standing there with a black eye. How am I going to explain that to Donna?
"Where are we going?" Jason asks. Without answering I head to the car. And all three of them follow in silence. I take them to the park.
"Oh cool! I want the slide and the jungle gym to myself!" Blake says.
"No! I want them." Robert shouts. They run over to the Jungle Gym and start playing on it. I stare at them from the car and Jason sits quietly next to me.
"Ginger?" He calls to me. I look over at him.
"Do you regret doing it with me?" He asks. He looks at me with the saddest face I've ever seen on him. I can only manage to stare at him blankly. It feels as if my brain just turned into mush.
"Ginger?" Jason calls to me again he looks like he's about to cry. Okay Red it's about time you came up with some answer I tell myself.
"No, Jason." I answer.
"Are you sure? You seem . . . out of it." He tells me. I know I'm out of it. I guess you can say I woke up the wrong side of the bed this morning or the fact that I've had two six year olds screaming in my ears since 5 in the morning I didn't have the best morning.
"It's not you." I tell him I look over to the two boys playing.
"You say that but I feel like it is." He says looking down. "I had fun last night it was like a dream that I thought would never happen came true. And uh I don't know I feel as if I love you even more. I thought we'd be happier now but you seem so distant from me right now. And it was like this when we were done." He says. I try to remember last night I think I went to sleep right after everything.
"I'm serious it's not you." I tell him rubbing my temples again.
"Then look at me." He urges. I look over at him and he just stares back at me analyzing my eyes.
"Kiss me." He says. I can feel the desperation in his voice but I just can't not right now.
"Can you watch the kids?" I ask him closing my eyes.
"Ginger?" He calls me this time he's worried.
"It's not you I promise. I think I just need to be alone right now." I tell him. I can't remember ever feeling like this before it's like hitting an all time low. Jason leans over me and kisses my forehead before leaving the car. Not too long after my phone rings.
"Hello?" I answer without checking to see who it is.
"Are you home?" The person asks its Robin.
"Not right now. What's up?" I ask him.
"I just need someone to talk to right now."
"Me too, let's meet up somewhere." I tell him. I exit the car and walk over to Jason. He's in the sandbox with the two loud mouths.
"I need to go somewhere I'll be back in an hour." I tell Jason. He only stares back at me and then looks away.
"I'll call you when we're ready." He tells me.
"Bye." I tell him and go back into the car. I reach a Denny's and Robin's already there but he's there as Tim. His hair slicked back and his blue eyes nervously looking around as he awkwardly holds his cup.
"Hey." I tell him taking the seat in front of him.
"Hey." He says rolling a bottle of Advil towards me.
"Thanks." I tell him taking two of them. I order a drink and swallow them.
"How are things going for you?" He asks me.
"Well Robin-."
"Tim" He interrupts
"Hmm?"
"I want you to call me by my real name." He says.
"Okay Tim. Today is just not my day." I tell him.
"How?"
"I'm exhausted. I guess since it's been a while since I've ever slept with anyone I wasn't ready or something because now I'm tired physically and mentally and maybe even emotionally." I tell him.
"You and Jason-."
"Ya we did." I tell him. "We had someone take care of the kids and well since Jason's allowed to sleep over he took advantage of that." I sigh sitting back in the chair. Tim's expression grows unreadable and he slowly starts to look sad.
"Come on tell me what's bothering you." I tell him.
"Are you sure you want to listen? You're brain's mush now."
"I'm recovering, the pills are working and I think talking to you helps." I tell him his face is bright pink and looks down at the table.
"It's about the guy that I like. . ." He starts trailing off.
"Did you two talk recently?" I ask him. He shakes his head then nods.
"Well I mean we're talking more and we're friends. But that's not what I really want. He's so in love with his new boyfriend that it hurts sometimes." He pauses. "Oh I kind of told him my real name."
"You what?" I almost yell. "I know you like him and all Tim but are you sure you can trust him with your secret? You know what Batman will do to you if-." I start but he stops me.
"It's okay I can trust him. I just really want him to say my name you know. I feel better hearing him call me Tim rather than Robin all the time. I want him to know the real me even if he's in a relationship. And ya I know we won't ever be together because he loves this other guy a lot more and we can't be anything more than friends. But as long as I'm as close to him as possible I'm happy." He smiles to himself.
"You are so mature for your age. I wish I was more like you. It would have saved me so much misery." I tell him.
"Ya I kind of learned that from him too." He tells me. "He went through the same problem. I'm glad he's happy now."
"But you're not happy about who he's with." I tell him. Tim looks up to me his bright blue eyes staring into mine.
"Walk with me this place is stuffy." He says we walk out of Denny's and start to walk along the side walk. We're kind in the unknown side of town so all that's ahead of us are trees and there are very few cars on the road. The place is peaceful and the wind flows heavily.
"He's happy." Tim says. "And it's like they were made for each other. They feel each other's pain. Pain I may never completely get to know but seeing them together just spells what a couple should look like." Tim continues.
"How long will it take you to get over him?" I ask Tim. He smiles and breathes in deeply. He stops next to this boulder and I sit on it.
"A while I'm not really helping myself get over him with the amount of time I've been spending with him lately. Sometimes I'm a bit hesitant to get in touch with him but when he agrees to see me I get really happy. I was really surprised when he was willing to see me so early in the morning." Tim says and then it just clicks into my head like a missing puzzle piece.
"Tim." I call to him and he looks directly at me. "The guy you like . . . is it me?" I ask sounding a bit conceited. Tim starts to blush and this has to be the darkest blush I've ever seen. His face is as red as a tomato and he stares at me almost as if he's been turned into stone.
"D-d-did I make it obvious?" He answers and bites on his bottom lip.
"Not too obvious I mean if I was Wally I'd never get it." I tell him. Then I remember how serious this conversation is. "I'm sorry." I tell him
"About what?" Tim asks.
"I'll never be able to return your feelings. I just really love Jason." I tell him.
"Oh don't worry I know I know. I'll find someone else but you'll still be my friend, right?" He asks he sounds scared. I stand up and ruffle up his hair.
"You idiot! Of course I'll still be your friend. We can still meet up anytime just not as late as we did the first time." I tell him. He smiles up at me.
"I know this asking for a bit much but-." He stops.
"What is it?"
"Can you do me a favor?" He asks.
"Sure anything." I tell him he places his hands on my shoulders and starts to tip-toe. The next thing I know is that his lips are on mine. And he's kissing me.
Some ending. Tim likes Troy! Who knew? Thank you for the suggestions guys as you can see I have used them. Keep them up they make writing this story very easy for me. They still have four days with the kids. If there's anything you want them to do with their kids feel free to tell me. Or if you want to see anything. Like more Tim and Troy because that floats your boat or you just love drama. . . or another Wally and Dick date. Tell me! It will be added.
Thank you to SincerelyYourSecret, Totally T, and BuggyShino05 for your suggestions. I didn't consider a cool dad or anything so those really helped. And I had no idea who Donna Troy was so I got to do some research on her and make her my character hahaha (Well not my character because none of the charcters are mine. DISCLAIMER! Now I'm babbling) And thank you PurpleDragon6 your review was cute lol.
More reviews people I love reading them!
