Chapter 4:
Bruce and Dick had finally put together a nursery for Baby Lizzie. The nursery was pretty. While they were doing the nursery, Alfred fixed a bottle of formula for Baby Lizzie. Then he handed baby Lizzie to Dick so he could feed her. Dick fed the bottle to the baby. After the baby was done, Dick burped her. Then he gently rocked her and layed her down in her crib.
Baby Lizzie gurgled happily at Dick. Dick smiled at her. Then he turned the spinner on the mobile on and turned out the lights. "Sweet dreams, Lizzie." He said gently. Then he gently shut the door. Then Dick tiptoed out. Dick put a finger up to his lips and went: "Shhh! The baby's sleeping."
Bruce nodded his head as if he understood.
"Dick, can I talk to you?" Bruce asked.
"Sure. But let's go in another room so we don't wake Lizzie!" Dick replied.
So Bruce and Dick went into another room and talked.
"Look Dick, I know you really want to nurture and take care of this child but you're still young." Bruce told him.
"Bruce, you don't know what it felt like for me to hold that little baby in my arms. To look into her sparkling brown eyes. To feel the love for her that I felt. I comforted her when she cried. It made me really good. It made me feel fatherly." Dick replied.
"But what if Lizzie's real mom comes back for her? then what will you do?" Bruce asked.
"I don't know. yet. I would probably stand up to her and protect Lizzie!" Dick told him.
and so that ended the conversation. Baby Lizzie slept through it all.
To be continued.
