He had stay up all night thinking, Jason stared down at the blank page before he pushed it away from the table. Starfire and Roy had gone to sleep after an hour of discussing ideas but none seem to work for Jason, he didnt want to give up so he would not let sleep take him.

Stephanie and Todd were what kept him awake.

He would have his family.

Rubbing his face as he let out a sigh, he looked up and Jason's sight was caught on an item on the table. Leaning it forward, he took hold of it with a small smile, flipping it open. Jason began pressing the small buttons before pressing the large one, he didnt care if it was late but he felt the urge to send it.

"Soon"he mumbled.

Taking the pen into his hand, he moved back to the table and grabbed the white sheet of paper with a big grin, this idea would work as it had in the past.

Moving under the covers, she peered her head out and looked around, the clock said it was 2 am so she let out a sigh as she sat up. Stephanie noticed Todd was not next to her so a small bubble of panic began to settle in but she noticed he was at the small desk holding the phone in his hands and a big smile upon his face, seeing this she crawled over to him.

"Todd?"she asked.

"It buzzed mommy"he replied with a big smile.

Hearing this woke her up a bit more so she asked for the phone and her son handed it to her, flipping the phone open, it read one new message.

"Its a message"she said.

Todd was excited to hear it but Stephanie explained it would not be his voice but just words, the smile faulted a little as he wanted to hear his daddy's voice but getting a message still made him smile so he asked her to read it to him and she nodded.

"This distance between us will come to a close soon and we will be a family again, I swear on it, Bruce will not keep me away nor the others"she whispered.

"Daddy's coming to get us"he said happy.

She did not know what to say to that, Jason was planning some thing, that she knew for sure but what would it be. Shaking her head, she pulled Todd into her lap and told him that they needed to sleep. Her son nodded his head as he climbed back in but her attention was now on the rose, that stood on the desk. With a smile, she leaned back and pulled Todd into her arms before their eyes fluttered shut.

In the morning she was the cheerful self unlike last night which surprised the others, Stephanie even said that she would help Dick with the gardening, the older robin smiled with a nod. Todd had said he wanted to explore the manor some more and before Damien could join him , the small boy ran off quick.

"What the hell have you been teaching him Stephanie"Damien asked.

"Nothing"she replied with a grin.

"Are you sure? he seems quite talented, you must of taught him something"Dick piped in remembering that he wanted to talk to her about Todd, the day the boy had decided to become the evil Red Hood.

"Im sure, all he has is a good eye. The rest he picked up from watching Jason on the tv"she replied.

Damien wanted to ask when was she going to tell Todd that his beloved villain was his father, however before he could say anything, Dick pulled Stephanie to her feet and out into the garden but as he passed through the door, he gave Damien a look that said we will talk later. He wondered what he had done to get that look from Dick but he shrugged his shoulders and walked out to go find his nephew.

Lifting the small tree from the pot, Stephanie brought it over to the hole were Dick was waiting with a smile on his face, the pair had planted a few daisy seeds and trimmed the roses bushes before starting to replant some tree's.

"Thank you Stephanie"he said as he covered the ground.

"Its alright"Stephanie replied with a smile.

However it turned into a frown when she saw Dick frowning so she turned around to see Todd running towards her, tears in his eyes and the red hood in his hands. Behind him was Alfred who looked worried, the old man was trying to catch up to the small boy as he knew where Todd would go, the small boy ran into his mothers waiting arms and cried into her top.

"Shhh its ok"she whispered.

Stephanie did her best to try and calm her son down so she could find out what was wrong but Todd would not let up, Dick looked to Alfred who was frowning and nodded to the kitchen. Carefully Stephanie stood up with the small boy in her arms and followed after the two men, Alfred looked around before closing the doors to the kitchen, he turned the kettle on then faced the others/

"Alfred what happened?"Dick asked.

"He over heard a conversation between Bruce, Barbara and Tim"

Looking at her son, Stephanie stroked his head and bent down so they were eye level.

"Todd can you tell us what happened?"she asked.

Todd looked around, first at him mommy then to Uncle N and to Alf, taking a deep breath he placed his cup down and held his hand in his lap before he told them what happened.

Flashback

Todd smile as he ran around the manor, he didnt want to help mommy and Uncle N so he decided he wanted to explore but first he had lose Uncle D. Five minutes late, he was creeping down to the batcave, he wanted to see his dad's uniform but then he heard voices so he moved towards them in the shadows like his mommy had taught him.

"So we have to keep quiet about it?"Tim asked.

"Yes I rather he not know"Bruce replied.

"But doesnt Todd deserve to know his father and who he really is, maybe knowing might turn him away from Jason"Barbara piped in.

"Yeah"Tim replied looking at Bruce.

Why were they talking about his daddy, why would they not want him to know his daddy.

"Yes but then Stephanie might"Tim questioned again.

"I will make sure Stephanie will not"Barbara replied.

"Good we can not let Todd know that Red Hood is his father, we can not let them meet, he must never meet his father. Jason is bad news that he doesnt want to know"Bruce replied.

Todd couldnt believe what he had heard, Red Hood his favourite guy was actucally his daddy, it made him smile but it went quick as it had appeared. He wanted to meet his daddy but they didnt and it hurt, tears began to roll down his face. The small boy needed to see his mommy, so moving back the way he came but he bumped into something, turning around he was glad it was Alfred and not the others.

So he wiped his eyes before running off to find his mommy, Alfred had heard the whole thing and seeing Todd meant he had as well so placing the tray down , he ran after the boy.

Flashback Ended

"Todd"she said soflty as she wrapped her arms around him.

"Mommy they cant stop me from seeing daddy, uncle R and star star"he cried into her shoulders.

"Star star, Uncle R. Stephanie?"Dick asked.

She knew that they couldnt keep the secret from Dick so Stephanie explained to Dick what had happened the pass few days even showed him the phone, she was ready for him to run off to Bruce but instead he pulled her into a hug.

"Your secret is safe with me, I belive Jason should meet Tood, a family should always be together no matter what, villain or hero"he whispered.

Hearing this made Todd and Stephanie smile, the small boy latched his arms around his uncle. Dick smiled at them and turned to Alfred, seeing the old man smile he knew he was on in the secret before him so both of them would try to help Todd meet Jason. However they would have to plan it later for Damien, Bruce, Barabara and Stephanie had patrol.

Todd watched as his mommy placed on her old costume, the bat mask was different but she had left the original one with Jason. He had already said his goodbye's to Bruce and the other two for he wanted to talk to his mommy in secret.

"Todd, how do i look?"she asked.

"Good, mommy can I ask you something"he replied.

"Sure"she replied.

Scooping him into her arms, Stephanie made her walk towards the living room were Dick was waiting for the two. Todd had checked if anyone was around, seeing no one, he asked if she would see Daddy. This made Stephanie stop for a moment before she carried on walking, she replied to her little boy that she might do which made him smile.

Placing him down, she hugged Dick and kissed Todd's forehead before leaving. Once she was gone, Todd turned the tv on and changed it to the news channel, Dick had asked why and the small boy replied that he would see Daddy and Mommy.

"You sure"?Dick asked as he took a seat.

"I can feel it"Todd replied with a stare that scared Dick, he had never seen the boy so serious.

Stephanie was with Barbara scouting the streets, nothing was going on so they stopped on a roof but as they sat down, Bruce's voice came in.

"Jason and the other two, left street now"his voice said.

Nodding to each other, Stephanie and Barbara got back onto their feet, when they approached the street they could see the blood everywhere and the bodies, Bruce and Damien were already fighting then Barbara soon joined in but she stood still unable to move. How could she hurt the people she loved and grew with as a second family that treated her right.

Seeing Barbara was going to hurt Starfire, she ran forward and pushed the older Bat girl, Starfire had turned around and smiled at Stephanie then moved over to Roy who was backing away.

"What the hell"

Being pushed back into the wall was not nice, she turned to Barbara who looked angry, Stephanie tried to explain to her but she couldnt get a word in and this caused Stafire to attack the older bat girl. Turning around, She met the unhappy face of Bruce so she looked away. Damien and Bruce carried on fighting with Roy while the other two girls fought, Stephanie stepped back, she couldnt do this at all but something was missing.

"I missed you know"

Jason.

Turing around, she saw him leaning on the wall, Stephanie's eyes scanned him over like his were doing. Jason pushed himself off the wall and approached her, the battle around them vanished, no sound was heard, it was only them. He touched her face and she closed her eyes leaning into his touch, Jason brought her into his arms.

Both unaware of the camera that was filming everything.
