Alright so another update for you guys. This one is short but I really like it and I hope you do too.
Also I don't own anything,
The air was crisp as she walked through the cemetery, down a familiar path to a grave Barbara had visited so many times before. When she finally reached the oh too familiar head stone she knelt down a soft smile on her face.
"Hey Mom" she whispered soft and lovingly, she had long ago become comfortable with talking to a tombstone.
"I got engaged" she beamed the happiness that had been surrounding her flowing out into her words. "God Mom I wish you'd had the chance to meet him, he's amazing and kind and I know the two of you would have loved each other." There was brief pause as the wind ruffled her fiery red hair.
"Remember when you use to tell me that I couldn't get married until he gave me the look." She questioned.
"I never understood what it meant, I mean yeah I knew dad loved you but I never saw that look you talked about. And so one night we sat up all night watching Disney movies and you kept pointing out how the prince always game his princess 'The Look' so filled with utter adoration and love, like nothing else mattered to him in the world but her. You told me that I'd know the look when I saw it, and that I'd only recognize it after it was directed towards me. I thought that you were just being weird, and then suddenly you were gone and Dad. Well you know how bad dad is with emotions not anywhere as bad as Bruce but God men just have no clue do they" Barbara laughed at her own little joke.
"Dad was never good with the whole dating and explaining love thing, but I could tell he never really approved of the guys I dated except for Dick. Even when we were just friends Dad always welcomed him, I thought it was because of Bruce but I think Dad knew all along. He saw the look even before I did.
When I told him that Dick proposed he just smiled "Always knew he would" Dad told me in this all knowing tone.
"I realized Dick had always been giving me 'The Look' and it just took me a while to realize it. He really loves me mom. Sometimes when he thinks I'm asleep whispers all the things he has planned and how he's so happy that we're together. He talks about how he wishes he'd met you and I'd had the chance to meet his parents." Barbara drifted off sitting in silence for a long time.
"God I miss you Mom" she whispers painfully.
"I'll bring him next time so you two can officially meet and you can see the look for yourself." She added with a chuckle.
"Bye Mom I love" Barbara said bending down and placing a delicate kiss on grave before leaving.
Let me know your thoughts and I hope you enjoyed! Please review.
