The light entered through the cracks of the window's blind, and painted the room with yellow lines that went from up to the ceiling. The reflection of the mirror stared back at Damian, he was shirtless in front of the old bialyite crystal, a gift from his mother.
He looked carefully at himself, his eyesight staring at his face. He was twenty five and had the same dark brown skin tone as Talia but with Bruce's dark black hair. The rest of his features dated back to his grandparents: Martha's nose, Ra'sAl Ghul's eyebrows, Thomas' beard and Melisande's monolid eyes.
Then he proceeded to see his own chest, the scars from the surgery still a darker brown, as well as the rest of his scars on the rest of his higher torso, from years of fighting alongside his family.
Finally he slowly dropped his eyesight to his lower torso, he hadn't realized how much his baby bump had grown in the last seven months, it looked as round as a balloon and eight times as big. It made sense as he was practically carrying a kindle.
Three living humans were currently developing inside of him…
He instinctively caressed his engorged stomach with both of his hands. Damian closed his eyes and focused on the movement under his fingertips. He had been worried since they had stopped kicking for a few days last week, but they were now back at full force and, from what Damian could only assume, they were content. And he was too.
"You're glowing," his heart flipped a beat and he turned around to face his partner looking at him from the bed with stars on her eyes. Mia's Gotham U hoodie, her untamed mullet and Damian's pants, made her look beautiful.
He grinned. "Oh, Am I?"
"You never had to fish for compliments…" she fondly rolled her eyes.
Damian waddled up to bed and sat on its foot, He looked down as his baby bump, they were still kicking. He started to caress his stomach again and to take deep breaths in and out.
Mia's hands appeared from behind him and started to pet his stomach too, all while placing her head on the creek of his neck and breathing alongside with him.
They stayed like that for a few minutes, just enjoying each other's company. At some point Maps' started to hum a Japanese Lullaby her aunt Tatsu used to sing to her when she was a toddler and Damian started to doze off while on her arms. Even the babies seemed to have calmed down…
Suddenly they were both startled by the sound of Mia's alarm that indicated it was time for her to go to work.
Damian swiftly took one of Maps' hands and kissed it softly before letting her go, the melancholy settled in as she got up from his grip. But before she left, Mia crouched in front of him and then she proceeded to kiss his stomach three times.
