Dick's POV

Nine months later, Babs gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, whom we named Emma. Whilst Gabriel may have looked exactly like me, Emma looked identical to Babs, with flaming red hair and emerald green eyes.

Gabriel got on with his little sister from the get go, and watched out for her constantly, always checking up on her to make sure she was alright.

Babs and I were blissfully happy, and with two beautiful, clever children, there was nothing more we could want.

One evening, as Babs and I sat on the sofa, her head on my lap as I ran my fingers through her hair, I thought back to that day 12 yeas ago, the day that nine year old circus boy's whole world crumbled before his eyes. Yet, if it hadn't, I never would have met Bruce, become Robin or Nightwing, never would have met the team and, most importantly, never would have met Babs or had our two wonderful children. So, I supposed that it was fate that had caused things to happen the way they did. Although I had been devastated at the loss of my family, through it I had gained another, and found an important purpose to my life.

And, right in that moment, I wouldn't have it any other way.
