Cyborg parked in the garage & turned off the T-car. "We're here."

"Good!" Changeling yawned. "I'm hungry!"

"You just ate!" Rita Farr (Elastigirl) looked at him in surprise. "Why do you eat so much?!"

"It's the bear in me. I'm trying to hibernate." He shrugged.

Rita shook her head. They'd gotten her from the airport after picking up Shirley. "Your body needs to do something about itself & fast before you balloon up."

Changeling laughed. "I'm not gonna get fat!"

"You don't know. Wait until you get older."

Changeling scoffed.

Shirley "Nana" McCain laughed. "Getting older is no joke!"

"What do you know about getting older, Nana?!" Changeling flirted. "You're just sixteen!"

Shirley blushed. "Oh you!"

Cyborg rolled his eye. "Stop flirtin, you two! Does Rae have to look out for you?"

Shirley laughed. "He's a good boy. But I'm hungry myself."

Cyborg took off his seatbelt & opened the door. "Well let's get up in this house! Those doughnuts didn't last."

They all got out of the car & got the bags out of the trunk. They traveled up to the third highest floor.

Cyborg opened a door. "This is your room, Nana."

"Thank you, Bugs." Shirley stepped inside.

He set her bags down. "Do you want me to take the gifts up?"

"Yes, please." She started piling the gifts up in his arms.

Changeling opened the door across from Shirley's. "This is your room, Mom."

"Thank you, sweetie. Take my gifts upstairs, too. I have a lot." Rita stacked the presents in his arms.

Changeling hefted them high. "How many presents do you have for the kids?"

"I have a present for each of you then two for each of the children."

"You got Chris & Cal presents?"

"Of course." She chirped. "I think the boys will really like their presents. Cliff & Larry got them gifts, too."

"That was nice of them."

"You take these up & I'll be there in a few." She started unpacking.

"Got it." Changeling & Cyborg went upstairs. "What's up, guys?!"

"Shhh!" Raven shushed him. "I just put Sebastian down."

"Oh." Changeling hushed himself. "My bad."

"What are you doing?" Cyborg asked as they set the presents under the tree.

"Playing video games." Nightwing said.

"Reading magazines." Jinx flipped a page.

"Conversing." Starfire smiled.

"What's to eat?" Changeling wanted to know.

"We should get started on dinner soon." Bumble Bee threw her magazine aside.

"Who's cooking?" Kid Flash stuck his tongue out of his mouth in concentration. "& where's Nana?"

"She's coming." Cyborg looked over to the screen. "Kid, you're getting whipped. Timmy is destroying you."

"Shut up!"

Changeling laughed. "You want ice for that burn?"

Kid Flash's face turned red. "Shut up!"

"Wally, don't you wake up my child!" Raven warned.

"But-"

"No buts."

He sulked. "Mean old lady."

His controller became encased with black energy & yanked from his hands. It began throwing itself at him.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" He tried to protect himself.

Jinx laughed. "Call her something else."

The guys were cracking up. Even Bruce smiled.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! I'm sorry!" Kid Flash yelled.

"Stop shouting!" Raven hit him harder.

"Ow! Okay!"

"Better learn to whisper." Cyborg threw his arm in front of his face so he wouldn't laugh louder.

Changeling went over to the play pen & looked inside. "He's awake. & he's smiling."

"Uh oh." Kid Flash whispered just as the cord was ripped from the Gamestation & wrapped around his legs. He was lifted upside down & brought to Raven's very unamused face. "Hi."

"You woke him up." She glared at him.

"At least he didn't cry." He grinned sheepishly.

She threw him against the wall.

"Ow."

Jinx went over to help him up. "You okay?"

"I don't know how Changeling can stand it. It hurts!" He helped her unwind the cord from around his ankles.

Raven glared at him as she went to pick Sebastian up. The baby flailed his limbs.

"Let's cook dinner." Bumble Bee wiped away her tears. She & the other girls had had their laugh.

Starfire stood up. "Are you the alright, Friend Kid Flash?"

"Yeah. I'm fine." He arched his back.

Starfire floated to the kitchen with Bumble Bee. "Good."

The common room doors opened.

"Nana!" The kids ran to her.

"Hello, my children!" Shirley hugged them tightly.

Rita laughed. "I feel the love."

"Hi, Grandma!" Charlotte hugged her, too.

"Hi, sweetie." Rita picked her up. "How are you?"

"I'm good. Bas is awake." Charlotte was no longer sore at her little brother.

"Is he?" Rita walked over to Raven.

Shirley followed. "I haven't seen the little cupcake since he was born."

"He's bigger." Raven said.

Rita put Charlotte down & took Sebastian from Raven. "Hi, Bas. It's Grandma. How are you, my special boy?"

Sebastian liked her voice & kicked his legs.

"You're a special boy. Yes, you are."

"Aww! Let me see him." Shirley took him from her. "You're a big boy. Such a handsome boy. Yes, you are. You look just like your daddy."

Changeling grinned & preened.

"But you also look like your beautiful mama."

Raven flushed.

"You're going to do amazing things, aren't you?"

Sebastian yawned widely.

"You're getting sleepy, aren't you? Want some help?" Shirley cooed before humming. "Be with me
Lay by my side
Hold my hand
Everything will be alright
Be with me
Lay by my side
Hold my hand
Everything will be alright"

Sebastian let out a soft snore.

"Wow, Nana." Jinx blinked. "You have a beautiful voice."

"Thank you, Jinx." Shirley set Sebastian in the playpen.

"I'm sleepy now." Christopher yawned.

"Me too." Charlotte lifted her arms so her dad could pick her up.

Calvin rubbed his eyes & leaned against his father's legs.

"You already had your nap today." Changeling picked up his child.

"You gotta stay up, Chris." Nightwing said. "Don't you want to eat dinner?"

"I don't know. What's for dinner?" Christopher walked over to him.

"You have to ask Mommy & Aunt Karen."

Christopher walked to the kitchen & pulled on his mother's dress. "Mommy? What's for dinner?"

"The Chinese stir-fry."

"Yummy!" His eyes lit up. "I'll stay up!"

She ran a hand over his braids. "Go & play."

Christopher ran to the other adults & pulled on Charlotte's foot. "Want to play make believe, Charlie?"

"I'm sleepy, Chris." She pouted.

"They're making stir-fry. Don't you want to eat stir-fry?"

She hunched her shoulders.

"It's good." He cajoled.

"Okay." She clearly didn't want to wake up but she kicked her legs so Changeling would set her down.

Christopher went to Calvin, who was on Cyborg's lap. "Want to play, Cal?"

Calvin waved a hand, distressed.

"Come on, Cal." Christopher patted his back.

Calvin shifted away from him.

"Don't you want to play with us?"

"No!" Calvin set his mouth.

"Don't you want food?"

Calvin thought about it. "Food?"

"Food." Christopher confirmed.

Calvin climbed down. "Okay."

The trio rejoined Teether at the kiddie corner.

Shirley smiled at them before looking at the trio playing video games. "What are you playing?"

"Moto Boogie." Nightwing said.

"I've never played. May I try?"

Kid Flash cleared a space for her next to him quickly. He was glad she wanted to play. It was a chance for him to shine. "Here ya go, Nana!"

Shirley sat next to him & fiddled with the controller with a confused frown. "Now how do you play this?"

Kid Flash could feel the quite frankly creepy smile cover his face. Oh this would be good.

#happyholidays

Kid Flash was stuck. "She won. She won. She won."

Nightwing was surprised himself. "Good game, Nana."

"Whoo! Go, Shirley!" Rita & Diana cheered.

Bruce smiled. "How does it feel?"

"What?" Timmy sulked.

"To lose to a nana?"

The nine year old sulked. "It's just beginners luck!"

"I think Nana is just exceptionally great at everything." Tim beamed.

"Thank you, Tim." Shirley smiled. "How about a rematch? I'm sure it was just beginners luck."

"Oh no!" Nightwing shook his head. "One whipping is enough for me."

"I'll play." Terra took his controller. "Nana & I can double team you two & take you down."

"It is on!" Kid Flash shouted.

"Wally." Raven warned.

He quieted down.

#happyholidays

Changeling wrapped around Raven. "It's later."

Raven frowned & broke away from him. "Excuse me?"

"I said we'd pick up where we left off this morning later. It's later." He pulled her flush against him.

She forced her hands between them. "You said when you got back. You didn't so the window is closed."

He sighed. "Raven, we have to talk."

"In the morning." She panicked. "I'm really tired & we don't have long before Sebastian will want his midnight feeding."

Changeling sighed again & kissed her chakra. "In the morning."
