(Eight and a Half Months Later)
Stomach bulging and almost everyone keeping out of her way, Virginia half walked half waddled down to Hank's office.
"I'm scared." She admitted as soon as she entered the little room.
Hank's head shot up from what he was looking at and he frowned slightly, he was one of only three that knew of Virginia's true problem.
"What's the matter Virginia?" Hank asked standing up so that Virginia could sit down.
Easing herself into the chair, Virginia sighed as she looked up at Hank, "I'm going to tell him." She said softly bowing her head.
"Virginia…"
"I have to Hank, he needs to know." She
cut him off lifting her head again, "I don't want to tell him, but Logan-"
Hank nodded uneasily, "Yes, I know, Logan's been down here a few times."
"About what?" Virginia asked curiously even though she already knew the answer.
Looking away, Hank sighed heavily, "He wants custody of the child when it's born, full custody."
Virginia's eyes widen in shock, "What!? B-but why?"
"I don't know Virginia, I really don't."

The rain fell in large droplets and the wind blew gently, not even enough force to make the trees sway. Virginia stood in the doorway of the mansion staring outside at Bruce, her eyes wide with worry and confusion.
"Bruce!" She called out to him, "Please! Come back inside!"
He glared at her, his blue eyes a dark gray underneath matted down bangs, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" He asked barely above the rain.
Virginia leaned against the frame of the door, "I-I don't know. I was scared…" She swallowed and pushed off the frame stepping out onto the porch, "Bruce, Logan wants full custody of the baby." She broke off into sobs nearly falling to her knees when a pair of strong wet arms caught her.
She looked up at him with watery red eyes and blinked, "I know you aren't the real father of-"
"That's my child, Virginia. I am the only father it will ever have," Bruce cut in his eyes locking with hers, "I'll take care of everything." And with that he kissed her on the forehead and stalked off inside.
Peeling off his wet shirt, he tossed it inside the bathroom before clawing through the dresser for a new shirt. Pulling on a clean skin tight black T-shirt, he pulled off his pants and boxers replacing them with dry ones. Taking a deep breath to calm his mind, he padded his way downstairs to the Danger Room where he knew he'd find Logan. Not even hesitating, he walked inside causing the program running to immediately shutdown due to safety reasons. Logan retracted his claws and calmly waited for Bruce to approach him.
Towering a foot above him, Bruce glared down at Logan, "Stay away from her and my child." He growled in a tone that would make even the toughest criminals shudder and cringe away.
Logan sneered up at him, "It's my child Bruce, and I'll kill ya without hesitation if ya try an' take 'im from me."
The two were about to go at it when Kitty ran into the room and skid to a stop before them.
"Bruce!" She panted putting her hands on her knees in an attempt to catch her breath, "It's Virginia, she went into labor." Straitening up, a weak smile crossed her lips at the look that crossed Bruce's face.
Before she could say another word, Bruce bolted from the room and disappeared into the elevator. Kitty shook her head laughing softly when she noticed the look on Logan's face.
"What's wrong?" She asked, the smile slipping from her face.
Logan shook his head and started for the elevator.
"Wait!" Kitty called out to him, "What's going on?" She asked stepping in front of him and the elevator door.
Glaring passed her at the other side of the elevator he scowled, "Virginia's having my child." He said softly then stepped around the gawking Kitty.

Bruce stood by Virginia's side holding the small bundle that had been given to him earlier. He smiled softly to himself as watched over Virginia's sleeping form, his eyes slowly slid from her face to the face of the child in his arms. Bright blue eyes stared back at him, blinked, and then slowly closed falling asleep.
Virginia moaned softly as she woke up, "Hey." She smiled as her eyes landed on Bruce.
He sat down on the edge of the bed and leaned over kissing her on the forehead, "He's beautiful." He murmured in her ear before sitting up again.
"Yes he is." Virginia nodded gently running a finger down the sleeping baby's cheek.
"Did you think of a name yet?" Bruce asked handing the child over to her.
Virginia smiled, "Dawson Thomas Wayne."

When everything inside me
Looks like everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take
And I'm on fire when you're near me
I'm on fire when you speak
I'm on fire burning at these mysteries.
I'm standing on the edge of me,
I'm standing at the edge of everything I've ever been
And I've been standing at the edge of me, standing
At the edge
