At the moment Bruce had spoken her name, Stephanie just wanted the floor to swallow her up, this was just horrible. The stares from everyone was starting to make her very nervous and Damien could see that she was having a little bit of trouble so he guided her to a seat while motioning the others to sit as well, they followed after him, the order that they sat in directly in front of Stephanie and Todd was Barbs, Dick, Bruce and Tim.

How she regretted coming now, maybe it would of been best to start new somewhere else, Stephanie wasnt ready for this at all.

Todd could see if mommy wasnt ok and looked at the people who came in, the kind old man had returned and offered to make drinks.

"I think that would be best Alfred"Bruce said.

"Ok Bruce, the normal's everyone?"

No one spoke but only nods, Todd thanked Alfred but turned his sight onto the man that had said his mommy's name, he looked old and he couldnt picture this man as his uncle but the others he could. So this was his family but they were the people that had hurt mommy and he didnt like it at all so he moved off of Stephanie's lap and stood up in front of them.

"You should ask, no beg Mommy for forgiveness"he hissed.

Bruce was surprised by this and watched as Stephanie pulled the little boy to her, there was hush words between the two but he could feel the hatred pouring off the boy. He looked like Jason when he was little and this made him frown because the way he acted was also like Jason and hearing the word mommy, things began to click in his mind.

"Mommy?"Barbs asked.

"He is my son"Stephanie answered.

The others were surprised except for Bruce, she had watched him thinking and knew he would be able to figure it all out. Alfred came back and handed the drinks before taking the other seat next to Stephanie, he knew that he should leave but after speaking with her, he had to be there with her. Barbs looked between the small boy and Stephanie, if you only had a quick glance then you wouldnt connect the two but with a good look, you could see the similairities.

"Who...?"Tim couldnt even finish the question.

"Jason"she replied.

Barbs gasped while Tim frowned and Dick face didnt show anything, the older brother was thinking things over. Stephanie clenched her fists as all she wanted to do was leave but Damien took hold of her hand, she looked at him and smiled, he returned the smile.

"She came back because she is in trouble, the town that Stephanie lived in for the 5 years have treated her bad and no on will take Todd into the school so she came back to Gotham looking for a place to be accepted"Damien explained for her.

The small boy watched as no one said anything, he hated them all, they would reject his mommy like they had done in the pass and it really upset him. Damien could see Todd was becoming angry and he knew that his father could tell as well but Bruce hadnt said anything but soon Dick stood up, Stephanie feared he, the kindest of them all when she was still around would tell her to leave that she was not welcomed however he surprised them all.

By taking her into a hug.

"Of course you can come back, we missed you Stephanie"he said.

Soon Barbs jumped up and joined the hug, crying and telling Stephanie that she regretted taking the role back and how she deserved it even more. Tim was next, happy that she was back, this made Stephanie so happy but as the three pulled away it left Bruce last, the man had stood up while the others were hugging her. Dick was ready to disagree with his father as was Tim and Damien if their father did not let Stephanie come back, Bruce stepped forward however Todd stood in front of Stephanie protectively.

Todd watched as the man crouched down so they were at eye level and he held out his hand to the boy.

"Its nice to meet you..."

"Todd"He said.

He shook Bruce's hand and the man stood up before bringing Stephanie into a hug, he told her that he would of wanted her back the years before and that broke Stephanie, she began to cry into Bruce's chest and the other crowded around her, hugging her. No one hated her but in fact they all had missed her, once the tears was done. Barbs took Stephanie into the library to catch her up on what had been going on with Gotham and the Wayne family and this left Todd with the others except for Alfred who decided this was a moment they needed.

"So you two are my uncle's and your my granddad"Todd asked as he looked up.

"Yes, Im Dick but you can call me anything you want"Dick replied with a smile.

"Im Tim"he piped in.

"He's uncle D already so I call you uncle N cuz your Nightwing and you will be uncle T"He said smiling.

"So how old are you Todd?"Bruce asked.

"Im 5"he replied as holding up his hand.

This made them all smile, they could see Stephanie's personality coming through now. Tim didnt like it when the boy had Jason's personality because it was like Jason was there but only young again, Dick picked up the boy and placed him on his shoulders before running out the door followed by Damien and Tim shouting that they wanted to play with Todd.

Bruce took this chance to go ask Stephanie some question, he stood up and moved, when entering the library he heard the laugther of the two girls. Stephanie wiped her face, just hearing some of the things from Barbs had made her laughter so much, it felt good being back but the smile dropped when she saw Bruce. Barbs had noticed and turned around, surprised to see Bruce.

"Barbara may I speak to Stephanie alone?"he asked.

She did not want to leave Stephanie alone for she thought that if the younger girl was gone out of her sights, Stephanie would be gone again but she knew not to say no to Bruce so Barbs nodded and told Stephanie that she would be in her room then she left leaving Bruce and Stephanie. He sat in the seat that Barbs sat in only moments ago, she thought it was something bad but he placed a hand on her knee, telling her it was not.

"I just need to know somethings"

"Okey"she replied.

"What happened that made you come back?"he asked.

Explaining to him how Todd was in school and that no one wanted him then that caused her to lose each job she had, with no money, she could not afford the house and had to return to Gotham.

"Because I felt it would accept Todd as he is"Stephanie finished.

"Jason is the father and you were roughly pregnant when you left Gotham"he asked which she nodded too.

"So why Todd?"

"Because he was so much like Jason but I didnt want him to be Jason Junior"she replied.

There were only two more questions Bruce had left to ask but Stephanie knew what was coming, the Wayne's were so predictable in their questions.

"Does-"

"No he does not and I am not too sure yet, just coming back and telling you all was hard for me"Stephanie explained as she brought her knee's up.

Bruce understood and stood up taking her into his arms, he knew she had a lot on her plate so he told her to just relax for now and that family would be there for her, Stephanie thanked Bruce and the two walked out. She headed to go find Barbara as she wanted a tour of the house as she hadnt been here for a long time while he moved to the pantry were Alfred watched as the boys were playing in the snow now.

"He fits in perfect"Alfred commented.

"Indeed but it wont be long till he comes looking for the two"Bruce replied.

"Pardon?"

"Jason has spies everywhere, today or tomorrow or the day after, he will find out that Stephanie is back and has a child with him. You know how he was when we hurt her and how she left"He explained.

"Indeed, will he come looking here?"Alfred asked.

"No Jason would never but he will try when their in the city so I need the others to be with her and Todd"

How right Bruce was, Jason had spies everywhere even in outside, his people had managed to track her to the quiet village. They didnt report back because they believed he needed to focus on other thing until they had good news and soon they did which they knew would please him very much.

Jason looked down at the photo's he had recieved so his Stephanie was back and with a child no less, it did surprise him and angered him that she had started new with someone else but from the reports he gotten, she had lived alone and someone had pointed out that the boy looked like him.
So he searched for a old photo he had and true to what they had said, the boy was a spitting image of himself then it clicked in his mind that when Stephanie had talked about wanting to start new and get away from the crime and action, she was pregnant with his son.

He would of dropped everything for her if he had known but Jason had blown up on her causing her to leave which he regretted everyday but now they were back, he would have his little family back. A feeling in his stomach told him that she would go to his brother's and Bruce which she had, Jason had to do something.

To say he knew they were back.

And he had a great idea.

So that night, he quietly made his way to the manor house. Remembering where everything was, he managed to be undetectable which made him grin. Bruce would really need to update his security, he knew his father would think he wouldnt come here but this was his family he was talking about.

Jason would do anything for Stephanie and Todd.

Oh how he loved it that she had named their son Todd, it meant that he still had a place in her heart. Moving across the grass quickly, he soon was on the wall climbing up trying to locate the room. He had passed Dick and Barbara's then Tim's, he wondered what his reaction was when Stephanie told him that she had a son with him, grinning he hoped it was bad.

Soon he found it and slowly crept in, she always left the window open for air. The two were asleep, she looked like an angel and Jason kissed her forehead which he got a smile which made him smile softly then he turned his attention onto the boy. He was just like him, the hair, the facial structure but he could see bits of Stephanie, they had made a good looking boy.

Placing the bag down, he opened it and took the item out before placing it on the desk then left through the window.
