"Okay. Take deep breaths…" Zatanna listens to her so much distraught husband.
"Remain calm. We know what to do…" Dick keeps babbling as Zee regains her wits after the initial shock.
"I'm calm, Dick. Don't worry" The magician reaches for his hand as squeezes it.
"Huh? I was talking to myself" Zatanna blinks a couple of times sinking what is happening.
"I'm sorry, baby. Do you want me to get you a glass of water? A slice of bread? I'd give you my sit if I could get up…"
"Sorry. You are right. Let me call Leslie" Dick pulls out his phone as starts dialing their doctor as he gets a bag with a change of clothes for Zee and the kids.
"Hi, Dick. How are you?"
"The babies are coming! Zee's water just broke!" Dick keeps moving fast paced through his house.
"Okay. I just arrived to Blüdhaven's General…bring Zatanna here and I'm going to be ready when you arrive"
"Okay. See you in two minutes!"
"What?! Dick, wh-" Grayson hangs on the woman as he runs back to Zatanna.
"What did Leslie told you?"
"She's waiting for us at Blud' General" Zatanna nods before trying to get up but was stopped by her husband.
"Dick. We don't have time. We gotta go now" She was confused as of why Dick got everything to the garden instead of their SUV.
"I'm working on it" That was the man's last words before pressing a button on his phone. The man covers his wife ears.
"What are y-"
BOOM*
A boom tube appears on Zatanna's garden and Cyborg comes out of it.
"Hey! Uhhh… I guess it's time" Victor greets the couple and realizes of the situation at hand.
"Agghh" Zatanna winced as she feels the contractions and crushes Dick's hand.
"It is. Can you take us to Blüdhaven's Hospital?" Victor nods and opens another portal to the hospital.
"Cyborg's Boom Tube lines are on service" Dick helps Zatanna getting up as Victor helps with the bag.
BOOM*
"WHAT THE HELL!" Pedestrians are taking by surprise by the portal. Police officers points there guns, waiting to see who will emerge from there.
"Sorry! Sorry. Justice Leaguers here" Vic tries to calm the crowd down as the nurses helps Grayson with his wife and brings a wheelchair for the magician.
"Thanks, Vic"
"Anytime. I will handle this. Go" The new blood of the Justice League handles the bag and stays with the officers to explain the situation while Dick walks next to Zatanna.
"Why am I not surprised that you had a boom tube ready for us?"
"Gotta make an entrance, Zee" The woman smiles before feeling another contraction and crushing Dick's hand again.
"A little heads up would have been nice-Aaghh" Dick gives to his woman's grip.
"Sorry"
"Hey! No need to be sorry. I'm here, baby. Squeeze as hard as you want" Zatanna smiles before squeezing his hand harder, trying to ease her pain, Dick takes her lips in a caste and tender kiss.
Beep* The couple were so into each other that didn't realize that they were on a lift and have reached their destination as the nurse keeps pushing Zee's wheelchair.
"Do I want to know how you got here so fast?" Leslie asks as she signals the couple's room.
"I had 9 months of prep time, Doc" The magician and the doctor rolls their eyes.
"I swear that this family…how are you feeling Zatanna?" The nurses take her vitals and helps the magician changes her clothes into hospital robes. Again, Dick showed his prep time and readiness by getting a purple rob with bunnies on it for his wife.
"You are the best" Dick smiles pleasantly. Zatanna loved the little details that no one but Dick Grayson would take on for her.
"Let's see. What we got here…" Zatanna and Dick look at each other's eyes as Dick keeps kissing the magician's hand.
"Everything looks perfect. Did you guys had sex this morning?" The couple blushes before nodding.
"I-I-it's a bad thing?"
"No. Sometimes it helps to bring the kids to the world and it looks that it's the case with you guys…Nurse! Please help Mr. Grayson and prep him" The medical team does their best and preps the couple.
"Mr. and Mrs. Grayson…ready to be parents?"
"What do we know? I came here as soon as the classes were over" Artemis asks to Zatara, Bruce, Alfred and Damian.
"Nothing, yet. We just know that she was fine and she's in labour" Artemis takes a sit next to the rest of the family.
"Wally is coming after his classes. Where are the others?"
"Oracle is helping Spoiler and Orphan with a Team mission that Megan is leading" The blonde archer nods, as a Team Leader she was aware of that assignment.
"Todd is on distant place with the Outlaws and Drake is working with the Outsiders" That's when the situation hits the archer and realizes that they were on a public place talking about hero business.
"Don't worry. I put a glamour on, just in case"
"Who was the first on arrive?"
"That was me. Cyborg sent us a message to Bruce, Alfred and me by Richard's instructions. I teleport myself here"
"And we were at a fair on Coney Island…although we might get some speed tickets" Bruce does his best to easy the mood but there were not takers.
"This is ridiculous. How is that we don't know anything?! I'm go-" Damian was about to barge in but Bruce puts his hand on his shoulder before crouching down his eye level.
"Son. I'm worry too but there's nothing we can do but to trust Leslie. She's the best doctor and you going there, distracting the medical staff isn't going to help anyone. Be patient"
"But-"
"I know how much you love them…but you know how strong and stubborn they are. Everything is going to be fine" Alfred looks proudly at Bruce for calming Damian down.
"Congratulations. You have the healthiest babies to date" Leslie informs the couple as the nurses bring back their babies from their clinical analysis. The twins were perfectly wrapped burrito style as they were handled to the couple.
"Oh my god! Look at them, Dick! They are so beautiful" Carefully, Zatanna holds her son while Dick holds his daughter. The magician was exhausted from the whole process but seeing her offspring, renew her energies and bring her biggest smile to date. Dick wasn't as physically tired as his wife but he just went through a rollercoaster of emotions.
"Indeed they are Zee. They are so tiny and fragile" Dick caresses his daughter with his finger and the baby attempts to grab her father's finger.
Grayson was sit on Zatanna's bed, right next to her. The couple's eyes were bouncing from their girl to their boy to each other's eyes.
"You did it Zee. You brought our babies" Dick eyes were teary and his voice was cracking.
"WE did it" Dick plants his lips on the top of her head.
"It was combined effort…right, Mary?" Zatanna speaks with her new born daughter.
"Hello there, little John. This beautiful and incredible woman is your mommy…" Zatanna tries to hold back her tears at how unbelievable perfect that was.
"This other beautiful lady is your big sister, Mary" The Grayson's (Zatara) put their babies close to each other.
"And this handsome and charming man is your daddy" Zee continues with the introductions.
"And Mary…this is your baby brother, John" Zatanna brings her lips closer to John's forehead before Dick brought Mary closer to her and repeated the action with her daughter, after that Dick did the same kissing both babies.
"I'm going to ease your family. Congratulations" Leslie announce as she leaves the room. Meanwhile, Dick helps Zatanna to hold both her babies at the same time while he keeps kissing Zatanna's face non stop.
"Mr. Grayson, behave. We are in a hospital…" Zatanna giggles with her husband's affection.
"That fact hasn't stopped us before…but right now…what I want is for the first thing our babies is to see is how much I adore and love their mother" Zatanna's heart melted a little more, if that was possible, she look down to her raven haired kids, Mary had her father eyes while John had hers; both were the perfect combination of them.
"Then bring those lips of yours down here because I want them to see how much I love their dad"
"Zee…behave, we have kids in here" Dick plays coy.
"Just come here and k-" Dick interrupted his wife by taking her lips in a tender kiss at the end they just lean into each other's forehead.
"You are perfect Zatanna Zatara"
"Dna uoy era elbaveilebnu, Yob Rednow" Backwards speaking never fail to send goosebumps all around the man's body.
"Okay, family are we ready?"
"What for?"
"My officially first joke as a dad. I've been thinking for awhile and just got the perfect one for this occasion" The man clears his throat, Zatanna looks at her babies and how they were looking at their dad (or the ceiling).
"When does a joke becomes a 'dad joke'?" Zatanna playfully rolls her eyes, no knowing what to expect from her man.
"Tell us daddy…When?" Zee does her best baby voice impression for her husband.
"When the punchline is a parent"
