I'm back! I know, so fast! First of all, just want to get it out there, it's Romanian, not Romani, and I know they are actually quite different I guess I'm just too lazy to find a translator... sooo... pretend for me, okay? Please? Romanian=Romani?
Now that that's out of the way... ta-da! Dicky Adorableness coming up! La!
DISCLAIMER: I'm at the computer, trying to type this, all of the work for no cash! (to the tune "I'm at a Payphone," not the best song, but nice tune... so, yep.) I don't own, or make profit.
"Hush, pic de dragoste, nu plange o lacrima, mami a luat un vis, va creste atat de inalt, un pic, atat de inalt, cel putin atat de inalt Inchide ochii un pic si vis, tati luato speranta pentru ajutorul lui putin…" The child sang quietly in the corner of the Nial's penthouse, and the supposed Jamie Nials looked up from her mail to see the little angel still coloring in his corner.
"What are you singing, Kitten?" Selina asked. Jonny raised his head. She called him Jonny because his middle name was Jon, and she didn't very much like the name Dick.
"My Mami used to sing it to me every night." Selina looked at him lovingly. She really was going to ransom him… but, how could she? He was just so cute.
"It sounds like just a bunch of gibberish." She was scared she'd hurt the boy, but instead he smiled sadly.
"Bruce putea vorbi românește, dar nu poți să vorbești cu mine, nu-i așa?"
"Huh?" all she understood was "Bruce," and she didn't like Jonny talking about him.
"It's Romanian."
"Wait, you're bilingual?" Selina didn't even know another language, but she did know a little French and Spanish, but was hardly fluent.
"No."
"You're not?"
"Uh-uh. I know lots of languages. My favorite is Romanian and English, but I also know Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, French, Russian, and Latin. I also know a little Greek and am learning Portuguese."
Selina's jaw dropped. "Y-you're fluent?"
"Pretty much, in all but Greek and Portuguese, though Latin can be trivial at times."
"And you're three."
"Yep, Selina."
"So… how do you say, 'I love you, little kitten' in French?"
"Je t'aime, petit chaton."
"Well then, je t'aime, petit chaton."
The little boy giggled at her mispronunciation but smiled and ran up to her.
"Je t'aime aussi, Belle Dame."
"What does that mean?"
"I love you too, Lovely Lady."
She looked at him and her heart melted. And then she decided. This boy was hers. Her little boy. And he'd stay just that way, forever.
"I love you." She said in the only language she knew. "Now it's time for bed. How'd that lullaby go?"
WHHAAATT? People have creative DISCLAIMERS so why can't I have creative BREAKLINES?
After I put the little angel to sleep I sat back down at the kitchen counter to finish sifting through the mail. Most of it was boring. Adds, a few bills, more adds, and, ooh, what's that?
I picked it up. It was an invitation to the WONDERS Children Hospital's fifth year anniversary. Hosted by… Bruce Wayne?
"Hmm, that's gotta' be interesting. Wonder how he is, without little Dick. Probably couldn't care less. Maybe put in a missing notice." I kept reading. "Hmm... And a bring-a-guest one at that. I'm afraid I can't bring Jonny, but who'll I take?" Obviously, taking Jonny wouldn't end well, and I figured I was invited because I donated a couple thousand under Jamie Nials a year or two ago. In order to maintain aliases, I have to make them DO stuff once in a while.
I looked over to the other most interesting letter I'd gotten. Harry Hou, he was asking why Jamie wasn't answering his e-mails. I flipped out my phone.
"Uh, hello? Jamie?"
"Sorry I haven't kept in touch since visiting my little sis in Star City, but I-I got an invitation for a gala and I wanted someone to go with…"
"Say no more, James, of course I'll come! When is it?"
"Tuesday, five-thirty."
"Thank you so much!"
"No sweat, Harry. Love yah, bye."
"Bye."
I smiled. That's one thing taken care of. Now for a babysitter…
Sooo... there we go! Can anyone guess the sitter? Tell me tell me! I accept PMs and Reviews, I'm open anytime, so please, those who can guess get... what? Oh yeah! A special shout-out! Go YOU! Another thing is, I don't care if you want to review me on earlier chapters- I'll be happy with it! I love all of your reviews (please review on the past! And present- and future!)
Now, this story is wonderful, I really enjoy writing it and can't wait to have fun finishing it, but I am working on my MASTERPIECE! It already has an amazing beginning and I've got a deal for you: if I can get 15 reviews (come on guys, we can do better than 15!) by the time I update next week on Saturday, I will give you a preview of it!
So thank you all to those who have reviewed, favorite-d, and followed! I thank you all and have a nice weekend!
GO FRIDAY! YAY! (it rhymes)
