Chapter 65: Epilogue

A/N: I do not own the Teen Titans

3 years later

"It's my turn Mar'i" John yelled.

"No, it's not," Mar'i said and continues to fly the drone around the tree in the park, "I'm the oldest, so I get an extra turn," she said.

"That makes no sense," John said and reaches for the controller. Mari quickly swipes her arm away, "I told you it's my turn," she said, aa she plays keep-away with the remote.

"I'm telling mom!" John yelled, "MOM! Mar'i is hogging the drone!" he said.

"No, I'm not," she lies.

"Mari is that true" Kori said.

"No," she said and looks down and her shoes.

"Mari, Look me in the eyes and tell me the truth," I said sternly.

Mar'i glances up and looks me in the eyes. It only takes about 3 seconds before she stomps her foot in defeat and hands John the remote, "Here," she said.

"Yes!" John said happily.

"Good girl, it's important to share, and I'm happy you told me the truth," I said, "Now, how after John flies the drone we get ice cream," I said.

"ICE CREAM!" The twins yell run back to their play spot.

"I don't see how you do that," Richard said, and he puts his arm around me as we sit at the park bench.

"It's not that hard," I said and shrugged, "Besides, she is a daddy's girl, so naturally I will have to discipline her since her daddy is a big softie," I tease.

Richard frowns, "I can too discipline her," he said.

I giggle, "Richard, the last time you sent her to time out, you felt so bad that you bought her an entire Frozen castle," I said.

"I felt bad, ok," he said, "I couldn't stand seeing those big green eyes sad," he said.

I kiss his cheek, "You are so cute," I said.

"And you are beautiful, and I don't deserve you," he said and kisses me.

"EWWW," the twins say.

Richard laughs, "I didn't realize we had an audience," he said to me, "Go back and play kids!" he yells, and John and Mar'i go back to flying the drone.

"Ow," I said and rubbed my stomach.

"What is it?" Richard said.

"Your child is moving again," I said and take Richard's hand and place it on my stomach.

"Calm down, little one; you still have 2 weeks left", Richard said and rubs my tummy, " I still can't believe I am going to be a dad of 3", Richard said and strokes his hair back.

"I'm getting old," he said, and I laugh, "We both are, "I said.

"Time sure does fly by fast," he said, and he looks at our now 3-year-old twins who have given up playing with the drone and are now playing tag.

"It really does," I said, feeling nostalgic; I remember the joy I felt when I gave birth to the twins. I remember how hard it was the first couple of days but how happy and exhausted we were with two newborns. I then think about how sad I was when I was kidnapped, wondering if I would ever see my husband and kids again.

"He's rotting in a maximum-security prison far away from here, "Richard said, and I can tell he is reading my thoughts, "He will never hurt you or my family again," Richard said and kisses my hand.

I reach up and stroke where the surgery scar is located on my chest, "I know," I said quietly. It was a rough year after the kidnapping. I would wake up sometimes screaming because of the nightmares; I would sometimes have panic attacks when I was out in public if I felt like someone was following me. Richard recommended therapy, I started going, and eventually, the nightmares were less frequent and the panic attacks.

"Are you ok?" Richard said and strokes my hair, "Do I need to call the Doctor?" he asked, concerned.

I shake my head, "No, I'm ok," I said and hold his hand, "Just got lost in thought; I'm just thinking about how happy and grateful I am for you always being there for me," I said.

"I'm always here for you, Kori," he said and kisses my forehead.

"GET OFF ME, YOU CRAZY!" John yells. Richard and I snap our attention and see that a tag game has now ended with Mar'i tackling John and pinning him to the ground.

"Never!" Mari said, "Team Tameran never surrenders!" Mari yelled as she keeps John pinned, and I notice other parents are starting to stare.

I groan, "Richard, go get your kids," I said.

"Why are they my kids whenever they are acting crazy," he said as he gets up. "Ok kids, time to go!" he yells and picks the twins up and carries them over his shoulder.

I heave myself up as we walk to the car, "You take this future football player," he said, and he hands me Mar'i. Richard opens the door and starts to strap John in his car seat. I walk over and begin to Mar'i in hers. After I finish, Richard opens the passenger side door and helps me in. He then gets in the driver's side and turns on the car. Bruce's incoming call shows up on the screen and rings clicks the steering wheel control to answer.

"Hey Bruce," he said, "What's up?" I said.

"Hey Dick, I'm back in town and –"

"GRANDPA!" The twins yell...

"Hey!" Bruce tone changes," How are my adorable grandchildren doing?" he asked happily.

"We went to the park! And we used our drone! Then we played tag, and John got salty because I tackled him", Mari said.

Bruce laughs, "That's my girl!" Bruce said.

"I am not salty! And you did not tackle me! I tripped, and then she sat on me!" John said, and pouts.

"Did not," Mari said.

"Did too," John protest.

"Did not-"

"Ok, ok, how about we continue this debate over dinner at my house?" Bruce asked.

"YEA, dinner at the castle!" John yells.

Bruce chuckles, "See you soon then," Bruce said and hangs up.

Richard shakes his head, "Our kids are running or lives," He said, and I laugh.


Our car pulls into the long driveway into Wayne Manor, Richard and I get out and unbuckle the wiggling and eager twins out of there car seats.

"Race you to the door," John challenges Mar'i and starts to run.

"Not fair," she said and starts running.

"I don't know where they get their energy from," I said, and Richard nods in agreement.

As we arrive at the front door, Alfred opens the door and smiles.

"ALFRED," The twins yell and hug his legs.

Alfred laughs, "How are my favorite twins doing," he said, and he pays them off his leg and gives them a hug.

"Hungry!" they answer in unison.

Alfred laughs, "Well, it's a good thing I made all your favorites for dinner then," he said.

"Even dessert?" Mari said and give Alfred her puppy dog face.

"Of course," he said and pinches her cheek.

"YES!" Mari said and quickly hugs Alfred.

"You spoil them so much," Richard said.

"I did the same for you, Master Grayson," Alfred said, "And the same will happen when this one arrives," Alfred said.

"Can I have a hint on the gender?" Alfred asks me as we walk inside, and he shuts the door.

"Nice try, Alfred, but we decided we want to keep that secret between us," I said.

Alfred sighs, "I guess I will knit a blanket with neutral colors than," he said, and the oven beeps, "Ah, that will be the mac and cheese, dinner will be ready in an hour, excuse me," he said and walks toward the kitchen.

We walk toward Bruce's study and see Bruce smiling and laughing while playing the piano with the twins.

"I swear grandchildren made him a different person," Richard said and put his arm around me.

I nod, "True, I never saw him smile this much before them," I said.

We walk toward the foyer, and Richard stops me in front of the second floor's stairs. "So Alfred said we have an hour before dinner," Richard said and gives me a naughty grin.

"Hmm," I said incorrectly, "Should we go up to your old bedroom and take a nap?" I said.

"I guess," Richard said, trying to hide his disappointment.

I giggle and start walking up the stairs, "I'm only teasing silly" Richard walks up the stairs and smacks my butt, "How dare you to tease me, woman," he said and picks me up bridal style and carries me up the stairs.


"Shhhh, you'll wake them up," I whisper as Richard slams the car door.

"Sorry," he whispers back as he carries a sleeping Mar'i in his arms.

He quietly opens the front door, and I walk inside, carrying a sleeping John; I slip off my shoes and walk upstairs and place John in his bed. I remove his shoes and put him in his bed.

I glance at his sleeping form notice how much he looks like Richard, "Mar'i is tucked in," Richard said I jump slightly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," he said as he walks into the room.

"It's ok," I said, and Richard walks in the room and kisses John on the forehead, "Goodnight, little fella," he whispers.

I kiss John's forehead and walk into Mar'i room and give her a kiss goodnight before quietly shutting the door.

"Ahh, sweet bed," I say after I finish my nighttime routine and climb into bed.

Richard walks in wearing his boxers and rubbing his still wet hair, "I hear ya," he said, and he climbs into bed next to me.

He reaches over and rubs my belly, "I still have to get the bassinet from the basement, but everything else is set up in the nursery," he said.

"That's good," I said, "Our son is happy," I said as I feel him kick.

"I still can't believe we are having another boy," Richard said, "Although I know Mar'i is going to be very happy being the only girl and the oldest," he said, and I laugh.

"That is true," I said, " I think we should decide on a name soon," I said.

Richard groans, "Who knew naming could be so hard?" he said.

I nod in agreement, "I'm starting to think we should wait until the baby is born. Maybe it will come to us then," I said.

"I like that idea," Richard said and yawns, "I love you, Kori," he said and kisses me goodnight.

"I love you too, Richard," I said and lay down to go to sleep.

1 week later, Robin Grayson was born.
