So this is a little prequel to All this time. To everyone who gave me ideas I'm working on them its just taking a while between my two jobs and soccer I barely have time to sleep but who needs sleep anyways. Also it might be a week or two before the next update my laptop is being not so nice so I have to take it in and get it fixed but I'm not sure how long that will take...

Anyways I don't own cause and please enjoy

Insecurities

"Come on Dick just do it already you never know what could happen…hell I'm living proof of that" Wally said to his raven haired friend.

"But what if she says 'No' I….Wally if….I can't…." Dick stumbled on his words, Wally merely laughed at his friend before continuing.

"You love her right" Wally questioned his voice suddenly serious.

"More than I could every express" Dick replied.

"Can you imagine a life without her" Wally followed up

"Not a good one"

"Then stop being an idiot and ask her the big question" Artemis answered as she waddled into the room a hand on her swollen stomach.

"Hey Arti good to see you" Dick jumped to his feet hugging Artemis and kissing her on the cheek, causing the elder blond to laugh.

"How's the little guy doing" Glancing down at her pregnant belly as she attempted to sit on the couch next to Wally as he helps her sit.

"Good although I'm pretty sure he's going to have his father's metabolism and speed all I do is eat" She complains but the loving smile on her face as she rubs he swollen stomach shows the love she feels for her unborn son.

Dick leans forward so he's right next to Artemis' stomach "Hey little guy its uncle Dick I can't wait to see you"

In response the baby kicked causing the three adults to laugh.

"You guys ready for him" Dick asks

"Honestly can't wait" Wally and Artemis answer simultaneously.

"I'd be lie if I didn't say I'm a little jealous of you too" Dick says a wistful smile on his face.

"You need to stop being suck a wimp and just ask her." Artemis said her tone serious and accusing.

"But what if she says 'No' Arti." Dick said sheepishly, Artemis' eyes widen before narrowing on him.

"You're an idiot boy wonder she loves you, don't let a few butterflies keep you from making the best choice of your life." She replies and Wally laughs.

"Oh shut it bay watch." Artemis scolds him "you were so nervous you couldn't speak at a normal speed"

"It's hard not to be nervous in the presence of someone so amazing and beautiful" Wally says in the flirting tone he used at fifteen.

Artemis narrowed her eyes dangerously at him.

"Awe come on babe I was just…" he trailed off as her eyes narrowed even more.

"Sorry" He mumbled knowing it was better than to piss of his very pregnant and very hormonal wife.

With a triumphant smirk Artemis turned back to Dick.

"So do I get to see the ring" Artemis asked

"Sure" Dick said laughing slightly at her excitement, reaching into his pocket he pulled out a velvet box and handed it to her.

"Damn being a millionaire's son really has its perks doesn't hit" Artemis joked as she showed Wally whose eyes widened at the ring.

Suddenly Dick became extremely nervous and he reached out to retrieve the ring from the two, "Do you think I went overboard…is it too much….she won't like it will she…God I'm such an idoit…what am I thinking"

"Woah Woah calm down Boy wonder it's a beautiful ring it's perfect for her not to flashy but still beautiful" Artemis reassured the former Robin.

"You really think so" Dick questioned his face lighting up, cause both Artemis and Wally to smile. The look of pure joy and innocence that was currently present reminding them of a short skinny kid with a creepy cackle and natural innocence that warmed the hearts of all those around him.

"Of course I do" Artemis told him

"Thanks" Dick said as he rose to his feet "I should get going gotta get everything set up"

"No problem man" Wally said rising to his feet and pulling his little brother into a hug.

"And don't be such a stranger" Artemis added a she struggled to hug Dick.

"Sorry Arty you know I try" He told her.

"Try harder and next time you better bring Barbara and she better be sporting a new accessory." Artemis added.

"I will" Dick laughed as he headed for the door "Take care you two I'll see you around soon"

"Later Dickie-bird" They called after him as he closed the door.

Patting the velvet box in his pants Dick climbed on his motorcycle and headed towards the nearest Zeta tube.

"Hey Babs I'm home" I call as I walk into our apartment.

"Over here Hunk Wonder" Babs calls from the couch where she is curled up with a book and a cup of tea.

"Hey Babe" I say as a kiss her forehead.

"Hey yourself" Babs repiles.

"So I was thinking" I start but Babs quickly cuts in.

"Are you okay I know how much of a strain that puts on you" she quips a wicked smile on her face.

"Oh hardy har har Babs, and for your information I was actually wondering if you wanted to go to the circus this weekend, Haly's is in Gotham again and I know you love the circus and I figured it'd be a great chance for you to meet Zitka and Haly." I say watching her carefully for a reaction.

"Dick I'd love to but are you sure I mean you haven't gone to a circus in Gotham since…." Barbara trailed off her brow furled. "We could do something else"

"Babs I want to take you I'll be fine and I really want you to meet my other family" I tell her with a smile.

"Alright Grayson if you say so" She says with a smile.

Hope everyone enjoyed I'll try to get one more chapter out tonight or tomorrow morning reviews and favorites always encourage so leave me your thoughts.
