Jason: One year and three months.

Dick looks up from the kitchen stove to find Jason hobbling on two legs, desperately trying to walk over to Kon.

"Come on buddy, you can do this." Conner encourages with a smile and holds out his hands.

The small boy only giggles and takes three steps forward before taking one back in order to keep his balance.

The large growth spurts had come to an end around the eighth month of being with his parents and Jason now looks close to his age. He was responding mostly like a normal child and was experiencing a real childhood.

This included constant pampering from his Kryptonian father and ever present protection from his papa.

Dick turns back to the pot of pasta in front of him and smiles when he hears happy giggling and cheers from Kon.

"So when is the Kid getting here?" Conner asks from the living room carpet.

Conner was referring to Dick's younger brother, Tim.

"Around seven." Dick answers and watches as Jason laughs whilst Conner holds him up in the air and makes airplane noises.

"He said something about having good news right?" Conner says and laughs when his son joins in with his own noises.

"Yeah, something about school I think."

"Awesome. I smell smoke." Conner sits up and frowns.

Dick looks over to the oven and rushes over in hopes of saving dessert.

Conner makes his way over to find a tray of burnt cookies on the counter.

"Brings back memories at least." Conner mumbles and shrugs.

"Very funny." Dick mumbles and sighs. "Go give Jason a bath. I want him clean for dinner." Dick says and moves to throw out the cookies.

Dinner passes by smoothly enough with Tim sharing the news of his decision of moving back to Gotham in order to teach at Gotham Academy.

By the time Tim leaves and both parents are putting Jason to bed, it's almost midnight.

The toddler lets his Dad place him in his crib and smiles slightly when he receives kisses on his head.

"He's tiny." Conner comments as he and Dick watch their son drift off to sleep.

"He won't be for long. Soon he'll…start going to preschool and then…high school…and then university and…he'll be gone."

"I think you're getting ahead of yourself there Dick." Conner chuckles and wraps an arm around the other's waist.

They don't speak any more and watch the baby.

Just as he's drifting off into slumber though…his small eyes open and he looks at his Papa.

He smiles and opens his mouth.

Conner watches with a frown before his eyes widen in realization.

The small boy only giggles before uttering a soft but clear 'papa'.

"Did he just?" Conner asks in shock.

"His first word." Dick mumbles in surprise, his blue eyes filling with joy and pride as he fights down a scream of happiness.

The small boy only giggles before sighing and finally drifting off to sleep.
