Now you all are probably wondering why there was a reporter at the scene of the scene well this reporter also known Kevin was the man who wasnt afraid of the danger, his goal was to give the people of Gotham what they wanted.

"This is brillant"he whispered as he zoomed in on Stephanie and Jason.

'Batgirl back and is having an affair with Red Hood, I wonder where Mrs Hood is' Kevin thought with a grin, this would make a fabulous story, maybe even bring back the women.

He had no idea.

Todd was watching the whole thing, his eyes never left the tv, watching his mommy and daddy in a hug made him smile. He was so close to having a family, Dick was happy for his brother but after what he had seen, Bruce was not going to be happy so he turned to Alfred who entered the room.

"I think some hot drinks will be needed soon"

Alfred nodded as he headed to the kitchen, he was glad that he had stocked up on tea, ever since Stephanie had came back. She went through the tea like a kid with candy, it was gone within the minute. Dick return his vision to the tv with frown, batgirl was going to get yelled at quite a bit by more than one person.

Stephanie still cared about the others but seeing that, she was placed in a hard place.

Pulling out of the hug, all she could do was stared at the red hood he had one, Stephanie could image the dark eyes that stared at her.

"Why didnt you tell me?"he whispered.

"I was afraid, you didnt want the quiet life"she replied as she looked away but he softly turned her vision back to his.

Her eyes were like the ocean and he could swim in them all day long, he remembered that night when she had asked for the quiet life but having the life were just turning your head caused action, he couldnt let it go however if she had told him that she was expecting his son, he would of have dropped everything for her and the baby, maybe become a mod boss, still have the action but controlled.

Before he could reply to her, she was pulled away from him roughly by Bruce. Starfire and Roy returned to his side, looking at how mad Barbara and Bruce looked under their masks, it made him grin. They were pulling away because they didnt want him to corrupt Stephanie but he never needed to do anything however he had something to say that made the bat family stop in their tracks.

"I would of dropped everything for you, you are the sun to my moon and will always have my heart"he called out.

This hit the final nail.

Bruce nodded to Barbara who grabbed Stephanie and pulled the blonde away. Jason and the other two left back to their place, he moved to his stool and began writing, a few times he looked at the phone with a smile. Starfire and Roy stood behind him confused, feeling their stares he turned back to face them.

"What?"he asked.

"Arent we suppose to be getting her back to our side"Starfire replied with Roy nodding in agreement.

"Yes but we were never a part of the plan"Jason answered with a grin.

"I dont understand"Roy said.

"Im not going to force her, its her decision to decide but if my plan works, she is going to return like how she did in the first place"

Hearing this, both Starfire and Roy smiled as they walked over to Jason. Roy asked him if it work a second time.

"Did you see what happened there, I think she's going to be here soon with Todd"he answered.

Meanwhile back at the manor, Dick made his way to the bat cave quickly, he had asked Alfred to keep Todd back but the small boy had followed him, telling him he wanted to see mommy. Dick could not say no to the boy, he hoped his nephew was ready to see what was going to happen.

"How could you do that!"

That was Barbara's voice, it all kicked off now. Upon entering the cave, Dick saw how Bruce and Barbara stared down at Stephanie who stood alone, Damien was by the computer however the young robin was looking at the floor. It reminded him of the last time, they had seen Stephanie before she fled into the arms of Jason, history was repeating itself.

"How?!"

"She is my friend as are you, I cant choose between you all"Stephanie replied taking off the mask.

"She is a villain, your a hero. Being friends will never happen"Barbara yelled.

He had to hold back Todd, who looked like he wanted to beat his girlfriend up. Dick could see the tears in Stephanie's eyes, he hoped Alfred had made the tea, she was going to need it. Then Bruce stepped in, telling her that her trust was to the family not the villains, he kept screaming at her.

"You were acting stupid, he is not what you and Todd need. Maybe it was a mistake, taking you back as Batgirl" he whispered the last part but everyone had heard.

Feeling the rough push, Dick held his hands out as he collided into the wall, he watched as Todd ran down and pushed Bruce away from Stephanie. The little boy was angry, furious, they had no reason to be so mean to his mommy and his daddy, he was sick of it all.

"Leave her alone"he shouted tears running down his eyes.

Everyone went quiet then Stephanie took hold of Todd and ran up the stairs pass Dick, the older brother looked down at everyone with a shake off his head and took after her as did Damien.
Stephanie had run to her room for safety, it was like last time, she was never going to be perfect for them, her best was never enough. Grabbing the phone, she pressed the button and listened to the ring, once she heard the voice on the other end she said one thing before hanging up.

"Jason"she cried.

Before she threw the phone down and cuddled Todd who was crying, the two cried themselves to sleep. Dick, Damien and Alfred were worried while Bruce knew he needed to talk to her, it was the family that came first while Tim and Barbara thought things would get better.

But they did not.

More fights began to surface, Bruce thought that Batwomen was not a good name so he got rid of the position so of course Barbara wanted to be bat girl again but the only one, on patrols there were two however they could not work together at all due to the tension between Barbara and Stephanie, the two couldn't seem to agree upon anything and the team work was horrible. Half the time Damien or Dick had to be called in because of it then it caused more shouting.

She was sitting on her bed, Stephanie hadn't called Jason again, she was afraid. Taking the cup into her hand, she took a sip of her tea and listened to the laughter of Todd who was playing robin with Dick however she did not know when she slept, Todd had called Jason after finally understanding how to work the phone.

One previous night

He crawled out of his mommy's arms and moved to the desk, grabbing the phone, he went to the door and looked outside to make sure no one was there before he closed it. Turning around, he entered the cupboard, the first time he had called his daddy. He had done it in the cupboard and soon it became a thing when he called Jason.

Pressing the button, he held the phone up to his ear listening to the ring.

"Hello"

"Uncle R"

"Hey Todd, you want your daddy"

"Yes please and tell Star Star I enjoyed her present so did mommy it made her smile, she doesnt smile as much"he whispered.

The small boy could hear another person talking and shuffling, Todd took this moment to peep his head out to make sure mommy wasn't awake and that no one had walked into the room.

"Hey little man what is it?"

"Daddy when are you coming to get me and mommy?"

"Its up to your mommy Todd, I want too but..."

"Then Ill make mommy take us"

"Todd, just be patience"

"But I want to be with you"

"How has it been going with the others?"

"Grand and aunty B been talking about mommy, uncle N and D are cool they try to cheer mommy up and stand up for you. Uncle T I dont like"

"Todd just listen, your mommy will make the right decision to come back here but you need to wait"

"Okay daddy, I love you"

"I love you too now sleep"

Todd closed the phone and climbed out of the cupboard, he placed the phone back where he had gotten it from and crawled back into bed with mommy, he would listen to daddy and wait.

One previous night

Todd ran over to his mommy and she picked him up with a smile, he told her what he and Dick had been doing while Dick left the room to go check something. He was sure that tonight Stephanie was on patrolling but Damien nor Bruce had come for her so he moved quickly, she had noticed it as well so waiting a few minutes, she and Todd walked towards the bat cave.

Once reaching their they could hear Dick raising his voice, she peeped round and what she saw broke her heart.

Barbara was dressed as batgirl standing next to Bruce and Damien who were in their costumes, they had gone round her back and went on patrol, like always they never really wanted her as batgirl so moving back quietly, Stephanie headed back to her room.

"Mommy?"Todd asked.

When they got to their room, she had pulled out a suitcase and started to place clothing in it and all their belongings.

"Yes Todd"she replied.

"Where we going?"he asked.

"We are going to stay with daddy"Stephanie answered.

Hearing this made Todd happy so he jumped up and helped her, all done they made their way out of the room and towards the door. Alfred had walked out of the living room when something latched onto his leg, looking down it was Todd who had his coat on. Looking up he saw Stephanie with the suitcases and her coat on, she walked over to him and hugged him, a few tears escaping her eyes.

"Alfred..."

"Go"he said with a smile.

She handed him a letter before taking Todd's hand into hers and out of the door they went, just like last time.
