A few years back

A woman wrapped in a blanket like a burrito emerges from the shadows of her bedroom. She sees her target sitting on the couch, reading a book with dim light. She couldn't see his face but she knew that he was still mad at her. Calming herself down after their fight, the mighty sorceress comes to the conclusion that they didn't have to fight, she stayed in their room for more time after calming down, analyzing what she was thinking when she lash out at him. He did nothing but being his amazing self.

The woman tries to come closer to the man, she takes baby steps getting closer to the couch. She sits on the opposite side of the furniture and looked at him from the corner of her eye. He was still serious and in deep focus on whatever the heck he was reading. She tries to scoop closer, slowly…she flinched when the man moved but feel relieved the moment she saw him changing the page of his book. Sneakily, or at least she thought she was that, lean over the man and rested her head on the man's lap. She closes her eyes waiting for some kind of response and relaxed not getting any and just being allowed being there.

Her comfort stops after a few seconds thanks to the man's heavy exhalation.

"What now Zatanna?"

Her heart shrinks, she knew that he was mad when he called her by her name and not by any of the pet names he has for her. She has even complain about that during mission briefings or in field, which he replied saying that when they were in the field, it would be better to say full names but as usual, she convinced him otherwise and only on the writing reports he was allowed to refer her as Zatanna. But she knew she deserved it.

"I'm sorry…I-I don't know- I don't know what got into me and you didn't deserved the way I lashed out on you…"

Grayson keeps his focus on the book for a few moments before putting the book into the closest night table and look down to her big beady blue eyes.

"I had a hard day at the precinct. There's a new psycho down there that it's not only giving trouble to me as Nightwing but as a Detective as well…but I thought that everything will go away the moment I get home"

Dick pinches his temple to calm himself down.

"I get that you had an stressful day as well…you know that I do but I was hoping that we will talk things through instead of getting yell at the moment you open the door of our place"

Zatanna felt awful. Her day wasn't a good one, first Pocus got sick after eating to much food so she had to take her to the vet; she decided to cook a special meal for the both of them but was interrupted by the League called her because they couldn't reach Doctor Fate and as the League's only magic user (besides Nabu), she had to track him down and talk to him and got scolded by the Lord of Order because she interrupted his meditation time; all that took way to much of her time and she didn't have any time left to practice for her magic shows and on top of that, her meal was burning the moment she got back from Nabu, ruining her plans. Still, she was waiting for him to cheer her up but he didn't arrived at the usual time, that give her enough time to collapse. She heard a knock on the door and was ready to unleash hell on whoever was interrupting her meltdown, to her surprise, Dick was the one knocking the door and was the one that received all her rage.

"I didn't called you because I took a detour to bought you some flowers and chocolates…but there was too many people and it took me longer to arrive…"

Even after getting yelled at upon arrival, Dick tried to keep calm and help her to relax, he ordered food for them since the food was ruined but that only pissed her off even more…after some yelling, Dick started to yelled back and the discussion only got worse, once the food arrived, they ate in different corners of the apartment.

"I don't say this to make you feel worse or anything but-"

"I get it. Truth being told…I don't know what got into me and well…sorry"

"It's my fault too, it takes two to fight"

"But you were calm for the most part and you only fight back because I hit below the belt"

"Look. I'm tired, I need to sleep and if I'm being honest, I'm still quite mad. Let's talk about this tomorrow with a fresh mind"

Zatanna only nodded and get off his lap as he gets up and walks to their bedroom. The magician stayed on the couch feeling sad but she thought he was right and it was better to fix that issue tomorrow.

"What are you doing?"

"Huh?"

"Even if I'm mad…I still need to hold you to get some proper sle-"

Dick wasn't even finished yet and Zatanna had already jump from the couch to his arm, leaving behind the blanket she was wrapped in. Grayson got in bed with his koala like girlfriend. After a couple of hours, Dick got up feeling Zatanna moving around.

"What's wrong?"

He was tired and sleepy. He was hoping that she didn't brought up the fight again.

"Sorry. I didn't intend to wake you up…but…"

Zee thought that she had been sneaky with her moves, she has been trying to readjust on top of Dick without disturbing him.

"I'm not used to sleep with you with so many clothes between us…"

Dick took a deep breath, scaring her in the process, she thought for a second that it was a miracle that they were cuddling after earlier's fiasco.

"Fine. You can do it"

He didn't have to tell her twice. Zatanna mutters a quick spell to put them back on their birth suits.

Present

"Sometimes I wonder how you put out with me all these years…"

Zatanna speaks without thinking as she leans on his shoulder as they both watch the twins peacefully sleeping.

"Because you look way too hot in fishnets…"

"Then I remember that I also have to deal with you"

"Please. You need me as much as I need you"

"That's true"

"Look how peaceful they look…"

Zee was hypnotized by the babies before her.

"One wouldn't believe that they scream and cry non stop"

"You gotta give it to them. You need a special kind of perseverance to scream that much and to start when we are about to sleep…"

"Or have sex"

"Speaking of that…my dad just left and he won't comeback anytime soon and the twinies are well feed and resting"

"Dick…why you stopped? Don't you dare to stop now…"

Zatanna moaned, she wasn't sure if it was part of his teasing game.

"We run out of whipped cream…"

"I just got more the other day…it's on the fridge. I'd go but as you might've notice…my hands and my legs are tied up. Hurry up!"

"On it"

The man sprinted from their bed to the hallway to the kitchen. He went through the fridge until he finally found the bottles of whipped cream, he wasn't about to risk to do another journey and get interrupted by the twins, so he took as many bottles as possible. He close the fridge door and stopped his tracks as soon as he realized that he wasn't alone.

"Hi, Dick…"

Megan was blushing and looking to the side and next to the Martian the was no one else than Dick's father in law. Dick analyze the situation quickly, he was standing on the kitchen with bottle of whipped cream while wearing his cop uniform with a tie but without the shirt.

"Megan?"

"Yeah…"

The redhead wasn't sure what was going through Zatara's head at the moment.

"Could you please wipe this from my mind and send me on my way?"

"Ahhhh….sure"

Megan did as told and Zatara leave the place without saying another word and no memory of the event.

"Thanks for that…I don't want to be rude or anything Meg but why are you doing here? I'm kinda in the middle of something…"

"I-I was on my way here and stumble with Zatara and well…Conner and I are doing a farewell party before going to Mars and it's just the original members of the Team and I thought it w-"

"Say no more. We are in…now if you excuse me"

"Right. See you later…"

Megan wasn't done with her goodbye and Dick was already entering his room.

"God I miss this so much…"

"You and me both, Zee"

"I'd like to say that let's do this again but I don't like leaving all the work to you"

"I wouldn't call work something so fun"

"In that case…wanna go another round in the shower?"

"Let me check on Mary and Johnny and you have a deal O' Mighty Sorceress"

A few days later.

"Why didn't you told me that sooner?!"

"Sorry. My mind was rather occupied on you and-"

"So if it wasn't for the fact that Megan called…we wouldn't know about the reunion"

Zatanna glares at her husband.

"More or less"

Dick laughs nervously with the magician's gaze.

"And what's all about she altering my dad's mind…?"

Dick told the events of that day and Zee was getting more flustered by the second.

"All that happened when you went for the cream?"

"I thought you took your time to tease me or something"

"It was nice that it worked that way but I'm not sure what'd had happened if it weren't for Meg but at the end of the day is your fault"

"How is that my fault?"

"You could have brought the stuff with your magic"

Dick blurted without thinking and the couple facepalmed realizing that they could've done that.

"Fine but let's get our cuties ready…Dick?"

Zatanna picked up John.

"Yeah?"

"Something is wrong with Johnny. I think he has fever…"

Dick gets closer to Zatanna and Johnny and confirms that his son wasn't looking well and was hot.

"He has! Let me call Leslie"

"Hello, Dick"

"Leslie! Johnny has fever"

"Dick put the speaker on!"

Zatanna wanted to heard what the doc has to say about her son.

"Is he presenting any other symptoms?"

"He looks tired and we don't know what to do…"

"Okay. Calm down! I'm in Gotham right now and this is rush hour…it's going to take me some time to a-"

Dick presses a bottom on his watch.

"On it doc"

"What do you mean by that?!"

"BOOM!"

"Did you just send a Boom tube to pick up Leslie?"

"Yeah. I programmed a automatic message and with one bottom our dear friend knows what to do…"

"Vic?"

"Hello, Dick. Zatanna. Are the babies okay?"

As of cue, Violet and Leslie got into the nursery room.

"Thanks for the favor V. And we don't know…Leslie?"

Zatanna quickly hands Johnny to the doctor for her to examine him.

"I hope I didn't interrupt anything important…"

"Don't worry. I was just hanging with Harper. Right now let's focus on these cuties"

Leslie examines Mary as well for good measure.

"It's seems that John has a mild fever. He should be okay on his own after a couple of hours…when was the last time that he ate?"

"An hour ago"

"Good. He should be just fine and Dick and Zatanna"

"Yeah?"

"It's not your fault. Babies gets sick because of their immune system. You are doing an amazing job. Mary is super healthy and except for the fever Johnny is good as well"

Even after hearing the doctor's word, the couple couldn't help feeling guilty of doing something wrong.

"I'm going now. If there's any change, let me know as soon as possible"

"Thanks, Doc"

"Violet, would you mind taking Leslie back?"

"Of course and don't doubt calling me again if you need anything"

The couple nods before being left alone.

"Dick?"

"On it, Zee"

Words weren't needed between the two. Dick grabbed Mary and Johnny's individual cribs and move them into their room. There's no way that they were leaving them out of their sign again.

"Dick? Johnny is going to be okay, right?"

"Of course. You just have to remember who his mother is…he is just as strong as you"

"You are right. He's just as strong as he's cute…Mary as well"

"We better call Miss M."

"Let me…"

"Hello, Megan"

Zatanna told everything to her friend. Obviously, Megan wanted to cancel the reunion and go to Chalant's place but Zee told her that there's no need for that and they should have fun and that she would inform her as the situation progress.

The couple lied on their bed, cuddling, facing towards the babies. They would take turns to check on the twins. Minutes feel like an eternity and there was not change in the boy.

Giggles* Giggles*

"It's nice to heard that Mary is okay…"

"Zee…that's not Mary"

The couple got up quickly and saw that Johnny was the one giggling, clearly feeling better. His giggle rapidly wake up his bigger sister who started giggling as well.

"Oh my babies"

With tears in her eyes, Zatanna picked up her son and Dick did the same with Mary.

"Don't you dare to scare mommy and daddy like that, okay?"

"You give us quite the scare little J"

Dick and Zatanna started pestering their kids with kisses.

"Look Mary…your baby brother is feeling better"

Mary took her brother's hand.

"God! These last few hours were the worst"

"Please…don't get sick ever again. We love you too much"

"Way way way way too much"
