Sorry for not updating, but if you guys want me to update, I need more reviews or updates will be slower. I know it must annoy you, but it annoys me too, it's a real downer when not a lot of people review. So here's chapter 5, I believe, their should be more flashbacks, hopefully. I'm going to try and squeeze Jason in here and add some uncle Jason, and uncle Tim, maybe next chapter though! I'm just making this up as I go along...This chapter focuses on Jason more than Wally and Riley.
Today was her due date, everyone in the Mountain knew, everyone in the Watchtower who knew her identity knew, and everyone in the manor knew, and quite frankly she was getting fed up with them. She loved her family, but sometimes they just got to annoying for words. But what surprised her was when Jason helped her around the house, usually Jason would hate to come in a 25 feet radius of Bruce, but since this was his older sister's due date, he wanted to be their for her. He wouldn't be such a sucker and actually help people, but his sister needed all the help she could get, what, with her boyfriend dead and pregnant with his baby and eventually being a single mother all alone. He knew she didn't want to admit it, with her being just as stubborn as Bruce, but she needed help from her family. She wasn't going to put even more pain on her and her baby by doing this by themselves and without help from them.
Jason knew she was nervous, but also very excited to meet her baby, she already knew what the gender was due to an ultra sound Leslie gave her. Sometimes, he saw her glancing down at her huge, round stomach, rubbing it gently and looking at it with sadness but also happiness swimming in her eyes, he knew her worries, what if the baby is sick? What if he dies, gets hurt, something bad happens, he doesn't look like Wally? She had listed off possible scenarios when she was in one of her crazy hormone rant. He, dare he say it, l... hold on, it'll take a minute, Jason even... loved... his big sister. She was always their for him, when he was first adopted and didn't feel exactly comfortable with everything going on around him, Riley was their to help him.
She was always their for him, and this is his way of thanking her and paying her back. But when Batman, or in this case, Bruce told him she was pregnant, he had no idea my Bruce was telling him, he had better things to do than be told that his sister was pregnant. And he would have left it wasn't for Batman saying that Wally just died, he actually punch a wall. When they first started dating he honestly hated the speedster, he didn't know why she loved him, but she did.
But today was her due date, she was going to bring Wally and her son into the world, the last living thing Wally left to her. Jason sighed, oh this was going to be fun..
Leslie closed the clinic for the day, seeing as no one was going to be in a life or death situation for the next 24 hours. She had already gotten the call saying that Riley was in labor and would be there as fast as they could, she knew they were probably breaking almost all the traffic rules, but an over protective daddy bats was never the one to reckon with.
Her doors burst open and Riley waddled in, flanked by Jason and Bruce, who were looking worriedly at her.
"I can do it myself," Riley growled.
Leslie called some nurses that were still there and put the pregnant woman on a bed, she was about to wheel her away when Bruce's voice stopped her.
"Should one of us come in with you, like... support or something..." he finished awkwardly.
"No! I only want Leslie and the nurses with me!" Riley hollered.
Leslie sighed. "I don't think one of you boys would like your hand broken and ears bleeding,"
"Oh..."
The batfamily contacted the team and everyone on the League who knew their identities, but told them to wait at the mountain and not crowd the mother and son. They were all sitting in the hallway, the cushioned chairs becoming uncomfortable after a while. All the males winced at the loud screams and cries of pain, you could even hear the mother-to-be scream swearing Romani, and Bruce, who knew fluent Romani, slightly blushed.
Suddenly, the screams stopped and a loud high-pitched wail was heard. All heads turned toward the closed door, nurses walked out, and smiled at the family whilst walking down the corridor. They could hear soft coos and almost silent hiccups, probably Riley crying of joy that she finally got to hold her baby.
Jason walked in, and peered at the baby, he had his mother thick, slightly curly hair, surprisingly thick, he had what looked like his father's toned skin and also his freckles.
"I really want him to have h-his eyes..." Riley said quietly.
Jason hesitated, but put a hand on his sister's shoulder. "Dare a say, but, you two make a pretty cute baby," he joked.
Riley gave a watery smile and she sniffled, looking at her now slumbering baby. "I'm going to name him Thomas, Thomas John. But I need some Wally in their... Rudolph, Thomas Rudolph John Grayson-West. That's it,"
Jason raised a brow. "Isn't that a bit to long?"
"No," she snapped. "He needs a little bit of everyone,"
Jason smirked, and was about to say something when Thomas's eyes fluttered open, revealing bright, innocent jade green eyes looked at his mother and he gurgled.
Riley gasped, trying not to full out sob her eyes out and make the baby cry too. She smiled and traced his face with a single finger.
Jason wrapped his arm around her shoulder, he quickly kissed her slightly sweating temple, and gave her a squeeze. "I'm... proud... of you. Good job,"
Her eyes welled with tears and she whispered, "Thanks lil' bro,"
I'm tired... next chapter should be up once BOTH of my stories get more reviews, these were all flashbacks, hence the italics. I know, Jason sound like Damian kinda, bleh, and a baby's eyes are blue or gray when they're first born, bleh, beh, bleh...
Read yah later!
