I don't own anything, but the twins and Liza.
Ten months later:
Jason:
"Why do you have to work on Easter again?" Jason asked for about the fifteenth time since he heard this news from his girlfriend.
"Because the manager of the Gotham City S.T.A.R. Labs is a sexist asshole and believes women can't do things as well as men and handle working extra hours and holding the fort down. So me being me, I took up the chance to prove that ignorant prick wrong, besides it's not the whole day, I'll be at the Manor in time for a late lunch," Liza said as she gathered her stuff so she could head out the door.
"Oooo, you said a bad word," Cathy said pointing at Liza who stuck her tongue out at her causing Cathy to giggle.
"Real mature, Liza," Jason said with a sigh.
"I'm anything, but mature, Jason, you knew that from the first day you met me when I showed up at your front door. Anyway, have fun egg hunting...Did I get that right? Oh, well, take pictures for me. I got to go, I'll see you later I promise," Liza said and kissed him on the cheek and left.
Jason sighed and looked down at his soon to be four year old daughter. She has grown a lot and her speech was better, she still messed up words though, but all the same not as bad. Cathy's hair was now down to her shoulders and was a deep golden color and was still somewhat curly, but it wasn't ringlets anymore. Her eyes were still the same colors as his and she had a slightly darker complexion than him, as if she had a slight tan. All in all she looked more and more like her mother with each passing day.
"Let's go wake your brother up again," Jason said and walked into the twins' room, he's planning on giving them separate rooms and putting them upstairs after they turn four. Once in the room he walked over to his son's bed and Cathy did the curtsy of waking him up by jumping on to his been and shaking him.
"Wake up, it's Easter," Cathy said as excited as a kid was on Christmas morning.
"No," Jay whined and Jason sighed and picked up the defiant toddler and put him on his own two feet.
"Well, now your up, get dressed or we'll be late getting to your Grandpa's house...Alfred's making pancakes," Jason said and Jay woke up a little more to the last comment and rubbed the sleep out his eyes and grumbled a response that he couldn't understand.
"I'll take that as a yes, come on Princess," Jason said and left the room with Cathy. Jay was a rather grumpy kid and liked his sleep and space, and it really made Jason worry about what his son would be like as a teenager, especially seeing how Jay got his attitude. Jay also looked a lot like him still, he was taller than Cathy by a few inches and defiantly was going to most likely be as tall as Jason. He had his messy, unruly black hair that seemed to be getting wilder as the days pass and had his teal eyes just like Cathy. Jay though was tanner than Jason and Cathy, which defiantly didn't come from Jason's side of the family, so it had to be from Isabel's since her last name was a Spanish name from Spain. He also had freckles that Jason was guessing was from Isabel's side of the family as well.
After a few minutes of waiting Jay joined them in at the front door dressed to the best ability a almost four year old could get by themselves. Jason took one look at his son, who's shirt was on backwards and shoes were on the wrong feet and his hair a mess, and sighed. Cathy could get herself dressed and ready by herself, with the exception of her hair, but Jay was a zombie in the morning and was to dead to the world to even try. Jason then knelt down and fixed Jay's shirt and then his shoes.
"Princess, can you go get my car keys," Jason said and picked up Jay and carried him to the bathroom and helped him brush his teeth and tried to tame his son's hair with a hairbrush.
"Daddy," Jay said quietly and Jason stopped messing with his son's hair.
"Yeah?" Jason asked a little worried since his son usually didn't sound distraught when saying his name.
Jay looked at him blankly and had a strained look on his face and said,"I can't find my ear things," and Jason felt his worry fade away at the realization that Jay was just worried because he didn't know where his hearing aids. Cathy then came into the room with the car keys in on hand and Jay's hearing aids in the other.
"I found bwother's heawing aids too," Cathy said with a big grin and Jason felt relief.
"Thanks, Princess," Jason said and helped Jay put in his hearing aids and then took the car keys. With that they left to go join the rest of his family at the Manor.
After getting the manor and having a late breakfast with the family, even Tim and Riley, though Bruce was still holding a grudge against Tim. At the moment though they were letting the kids play before they turned them loose for the egg hunt.
Jason was sitting down in one the lawn chairs alone with just his siblings watching the kids while Barbara, Bruce, Alfred, Selina, and Gordon were off somewhere in the house doing who knows what.
"So how's the twins and Liza?" Dick asked awkwardly trying to break the awkward silence.
"Twins are as usual double the trouble. Cathy likes to talk non stop and Jay would rather be left alone. As for Liza well, she's Liza. What about you?" Jason asked awkwardly.
"Mar'i melted her teddy bear last week during a fit. It's safe to say that she defiantly got Star's powers. Johnny, Sarah, and Dj her are the terrible three, and would make the twins look like saints, now that they can walk and reach more stuff. Barbara handles all the chaos pretty well and is looking for a house in a suburban area outside Gotham since the apartments getting crowded. So if you see any for sale signs in your neighborhood give me a call," Dick said.
"I rather die again than let you live in my neighborhood, Dickhead," Jason said bluntly and Tim snorted.
"What about you, Timbo?" Jason asked and Tim glared at him for the stupid nickname.
"Bruce is still pissed at me. I don't know why he's holding a grudge about me adopting Riley and dating Lee. It's just ridiculous to be honest, I don't even know why I even bother coming if he was going to be like this, judgmental and shit. He honestly has no room to speak, he adopted Dick when he was twenty one and has dated both Talia and Selina and has children with both of them. I couldn't even bring Lee here with me today because I knew he was going to be a hypocritical bastard," Tim said bluntly and Dick looked shocked at Tim's out of character out burst and Jason didn't looked surprised and neither did Damian.
"The moral of this story, kiddies, is don't start a family until your thirties otherwise Daddy Bats will go bat shit crazy," Jason said looking at Damian and Helena.
"Tim...," Dick said quietly, having the big brother worried look on his face along with 'I'm hurt knowing you feel that way' look, and Tim looked at him.
"No, Dick. I'm done talking about it. Once the egg hunts over, Riley and I are leaving," Tim said calmly and things went quiet.
"So, Cass, how was Hong Kong?" Helena asked trying to break the tension.
"Good," Cass said curtly and then there was a scream from one the kids and Dick sighed.
"That would be one of mine," Dick said leaving the rest in silence and went to go see which on his kids got hurt. Seeing as he was calm about the whole ordeal goes to say that it was a common occurrence.
"Daddy! I found one!" Cathy said pointing up into a tree where a blue egg was in and Jason grabbed the egg for her and put it in the basket. Jay stalked behind them looking bored and was pouting as he carried his own basket that didn't have as many eggs as Cathy's.
"What's wrong, Buddy?" Jason asked noticing the long face on his face.
"I don't like this," Jay said with a pout and Jason sighed.
"How about this, we find you a few more eggs and we'll call it quits for you?" Jason asked and Jay nodded in agreement. With that they found Jay five more eggs before they went back to the house together since Cathy was calling it quits as well.
Once everyone was done they went back inside and Tim said his good byes to everyone, but Bruce and left with Riley. After that they sat in the living room as they let the kids see what kind of candy they got from the Easter Bunny. Jason was dozing off on the couch and was almost asleep when his phone buzzed and he opened his eyes and pulled it out too see he got a text from Liza saying she got forced to work overtime and wouldn't be done until ten. He sighed and put his phone away and looked at the others.
"Liza's not coming, she got forced into working overtime, so we no longer have to wait for her for lunch," Jason said sounding frustrated. Shortly after that they went to go have lunch and have another family meal, though this one was filled with tension mainly because of Bruce's mood being bad due to Tim leaving with Riley.
A while after lunch Jason gathered the twins and walked out of the manor with Dick seeing them out. "Hey,um, I brought that thing you wanted me to bring do you still want it?" Dick asked as Jason put the twins in their car seats in the car.
"Yeah," Jason said finishing up and shutting the door and then faced Dick.
Dick then handed the object over to him and said,"I don't see why you didn't hide it at your place."
"If I did that Liza would have found it easily. She's a better detective then you would expect and she has like a sixth sense when it comes to things not being right, especially hidden things," Jason said bluntly putting the object in his pocket.
"I guess you're right, women have a nose for this kind of thing. After all Barbara found it and asked me about it," Dick said and Jason nodded and thanked him and got in his car and left. Once at his house he put the twins' candy up since there was no way he was going to let them eat it all and be bouncing off walls like speedster.
Jason then sat back on the couch tired and aching, he was like this not from the day, but from managing some drug lords the night before. "Daddy!" Cathy said her voice bringing Jason back from his doze.
"Yes, Princess?" Jason murmured tiredly.
"Can you bwaid my haiw?" Cathy asked holding up a hair bow.
"Yeah. Where's your brother?" Jason asked as he took the hair bow and started braiding Cathy's hair. He had learned to braid hair after Liza taught him too since she would be able to all the time.
"Playing with his awmy men. We're about to go outside," Cathy said as Jason finished the braid and tied it off with the bow.
"Not in your Easter outfit, go get changed then you can go outside and play. I got to start cooking dinner, so come in when it starts getting dark," Jason said and Cathy nodded and ran off. He then went to the kitchen and started prepping stuff so he could cook dinner. While he did so he heard the twins run by and out the back door to go play.
Once dinner was done it was getting dark so the twins came in and Jason sighed at the sight of them as finished setting the table. He had a even more new found respect for Alfred since the man has put up with not one, but six kids and Bruce as a child who have made messes. The twins were caked in mud, which Jason had expected which was exactly why he asked Cathy to change since she was wearing good clothes.
"Alright bath time. Who wants to go first," Jason said and Cathy pointed to Jay who grumbled in response.
"Alright, Jay," Jason said.
"Lady's fiwst," Jay said quickly and Cathy whined and Jay smiled innocently at her causing Cathy to stick her tongue at him.
"Sorry, Princess, but Jay's right, Lady's first," Jason said and picked Cathy up to go give her a bath first.
After the twins were bathed and everyone ate Jason put the twins to bed and put Liza's leftovers in the microwave before sitting on the couch. He was again about to go to sleep when the front door opened,waking him up, and Liza walked in looking exhausted and defeated. "Tough day?" Jason asked looking at her as she sat down her stuff on the coffee table and crashed beside him.
"I hate my boss," Liza groaned.
"Most people do. Dinner's in the microwave and before you come to bed take a shower you smell like a lab," Jason said standing up and stretching while yawning. He then walked over to the counter and grabbed an Easter egg and tossed it to Liza who barely caught it.
"Night, Eliza," Jason said and walked towards his room and he stopped when he heard her pop open the egg.
"W-what? You can't do this, this w-way! Jason, don't walk away from me," Liza said struggling to find her words and Jason smirked as he walked away just to annoy her.
"Yes or no?" he asked as he reached his bedroom door.
"Yes," Liza said from behind him.
"Good, I'll see you in the morning, I'm going to bed," Jason said and entered his room and shut his door leaving Liza completely lost of words.
