John Todd Grayson

Artemis Crock soon to be Grayson was currently nine months pregnant and two weeks over her due date. She was already on maternity leave from work and Dick had taken time off of work as well because she was so far overdue and didn't want her to be alone.

Currently Artmeis was trying to sleep but she couldn't get comfortable, she kept having back pain and horrible indigestion, and she just couldn't get comfortable. Sighing she sat up; she had to go to the bathroom again, groaning she stood up and started towards the bathroom.

Right before she got to the bathroom she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and something wet run down her leg. Eyes widening she looked down to see a puddle at her feet "Dick" she said barely above a whisper. But Dick didn't move "Dick" she said louder. Dick just moaned moving his head to the side. Huffing Artemis yelled "DICK" making him sit up straight in bed.

"What…. What's going on?" Dick said voice thick with sleep.

"My water just broke I think I'm going into labor, shit this hurts" Artemis said bending over.

Dick sprung out of bed running over to her "Just sit down I'll get your bag, and we'll get to the hospital. It's going to be okay, just breath remember the lamas class" Dick said eyes wide and face visibly pale in the dark room.

Artemis sat down on the bed trying to focus on her breathing, Dick turned and ran towards the closet slipping in the puddle on the floor almost falling onto his back "I'll clean that up" he said dashing into the bathroom to put a towel on it. Dick managed to get everything together and next to the bed by the time the next contraction hit.

Artemis took Dick's hand squeezing it making Dick wince "You're doing great 'Mis. Come on were ready to go I'll help you downstairs".

Artemis took a deep breath frowning at her fiance "You might want to put some clothes on Dick" Artemis said.

Dick looked down realizing he was only in his boxers smiling sheepishly Dick sprinted into the closer putting on a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt with his boots.

Once Dick was ready he helped Artemis down the stairs and to the car. They arrived at the hospital thirty minutes later along with two more contractions and Dick wincing from Artemis squeezing his hand.

Once they were in the hospital room and the doctors and nurses had everything set up Dick called Bruce, Jade, and Barbara and told them they were at the hospital and the doctor said that it could be a while since she was only five centimeters dilated. But that didn't stop them, forty minutes later Jade was in the room with them, while the entire Wayne family was in the waiting room along with Barbara, Wally, Zatanna, Roy and Lian.

"Thank you for being here Jade" Artemis said.

Jade smiled "Were else would I be, I am the experienced one here" Jade said teasingly.

Artemis laughed "How long were you in labor with Lian?"

"I was in labor for almost ten hours, which is completely normal" Jade said.

Dick gapped "Ten hours, how did Roy not have a shattered hand?"

Jade laughed "He almost did, I broke every finger except his thumb".

Dick winced looking at his hands but didn't say anything, Artemis laughed "I think it's payback babe we are the ones who have to push a living baby out of a very small whole".

"I know that, don't worry about it you and I both know I can handle pain" Dick said kissing her forehead "I'm going to get some water, you want anything?" Dick asked.

Right when Artemis was getting ready to answer a very painful contraction hit her, she bit her lip so she didn't scream, she grabbed Dick's hand squeezing it as hard as she could. Once the contraction was over Artemis was breathing heavy and had sweat on her forehead.

Jade stood up "I'm going to get the doctor that was a serious contraction".

Artemis and Dick nodded their heads "You alright babe?"

Artemis glared at him "What do you think?"

Dick winced both from the pain in his hand and Artemis' tone "Sorry" he said slowly moving his fingers making sure they weren't broken.

Once the doctor was done checking everything he spoke "Your eight centimeters dilated, just a couple more hours and you'll have a new baby" he said before leaving the room.

Two hours later Artemis was in full labor and ten centimeters dilated. Dick and Jade were the only ones in the room as she pushed with both of them at the head of the bed holding her hands and saying encouraging things.

Breating heavy Artemis rested on the bed "I swear to God Dick you get me pregnant again I'll make it so you never have kids again" Artemis said.

Jade laughed at Dick's wide scared eyes "She doesn't mean it I said the same thing, and I'm twelve weeks pregnant".

"What?" Artemis said.

Jade smiled but didn't get to say anything because the doctor told Artemis to push again. Artemis used everything she had and pushed not afraid to yell out in pain, but hers wasn't the only pain heard, she squeezed Dick's hand so hard that he yelped in pain.

The room was quickly filled with the sound of crying "Congratulations you have a healthy baby boy" the doctor said setting the baby on a blanket in Artemis' lap.

Artemis had tears running down her face as she looked down at her beautiful baby boy, when she felt a hand smooth away the hair from her face she looked up into Dick's tearful happy eyes "He's beautiful 'Mis you did amazing" Dick said kissing her on the forehead.

Artemis looked down at her son "We did amazing" she said.

Jade smiled wiping the tears off of her checks "You did amazing, both of you, stupid hormones are making me cry".

Artemis smiled "Thank you for being here Jade, and Congratulations".

Dick smiled and walked around the bed pulling his soon to be sister inlaw into a hug "Thank you".

Jade hugged him back "Just take care of my sister and nephew".

Dick nodded his head "I will".

Thirty minutes later Artemis and Dick sat on the hospital bed looking at the sleeping little boy in Artemis' arms. Dick smiled lightly setting his hand on the baby's head "He looks just like you" Dick said.

"But he has your hair and your eyes" Artemis said.

"I love you Artemis, you've just given me everything I've ever wanted" Dick said lightly kissing her lips.

Artemis smiled "I love you to".

"Should we introduce him to our crazy family?" Dick asked.

Artemis nodded her head "Yeah".

Dick smiled kissing her again before leaving the room. He came back in holding Damian and Lian's hands with everyone else behind him. He lifted Damian and Lian onto the bed so that they could see as everyone gathered in the room and around the bed.

"Is that the baby?" Damian asked.

Artemis smiled "Yes it is everyone I'd like to introduce you to John Todd Grayson".

"After your father and Jason?" Bruce asked softly.

Dick smiled "It was Artemis idea; we wanted to honor the people we've lost".

"So how bad is your hand?" Roy asked.

Dick smiled showing his bandaged hand "Shattered hand" he said causing everyone to laugh.

Everyone smiled and congratulated the young couple and cooed at the adorable little baby.

An hour later Dick and Artemis lay together on the hospital bed as their new baby slept peacefully next to them.
