"Do they really need to?", Thomas suggested. "I mean, not like anything truly bad had happened that time. Not like he suffered some sort of premature injury like losing an arm or something like that. And it wasn't something that was impossible to hide such as my death from Poppy.".
Martha replied, "No, but Poppy essentially had known of you since she was able to understand even a bit from when she was three...But they had practically left it off in the past, since the city didn't know what Rex did truly, apart from those goons everybody thought was crazy, and since Rex is dead, he wouldn't be able to tell everything including calling us for a ransom or the cops to make it on the news in his plans when the fire and the escape happened.".
Caroline replied, "And we all know how Damien is remarkably smart and curious for his age! Heck, he knew that school nights are forbidden to go out and have fun while weekends are free. He's going to ask sooner or later of why Bruce and even Selina is more overprotective and sterner compared to us or Poppy and Waylon...Haven't you forgotten that the threat of injury was different with me while I was pregnant with Jane, while Selina and Damien was threatened with murder?...I haven't forgotten your faces when we all heard her story in that hallway before the fire escape stairs...Rex was truly intentional and mad while Ra and Talia were controlled and calm...", with a sigh and a shiver as Alfred wrapped an arm around her.
Like Martha and Thomas, they got some new streaks of gray, more or less, but still looking good for their ages. Many people were stunned to realize that the whole Wayne-Pennyworth family had essentially married and got pregnant teen-young or fairly mature-young, yet even if they may have petty arguments, they get along, and they do dearly all care and love each other very much.
"Still, up to Bruce and Selina in terms of their choice with that but Dad might have a point.", Waylon said. "Might not be much of a need to tell him that. Rex isn't coming back and most of his goons probably barely cared about them in the first place.".
Poppy then replied, "Yes, but doesn't mean that all of us are like a tempting prize to any other crime families or any single desperate person...After all, the world still has gold diggers and more. Even if we have way better security more or less than any ordinary person in Gotham and has me and Bruce to research and essentially spy. Believe me, I checked out the friends the kids got at school, the families' connections and such.", with a sigh.
"Even if we got peaceful and all, we are still wary which we can't blame as we do have this family to protect, especially the kids.", Martha nodded. The others nodded in agreement. It was true even with Gotham looking even more brighter, cleaner, and better with less crime, the crime has only gotten more dangerous with the technology now these days, with often dumb crime here and there. Arsonists, school shootings, attacks, and who knows what else has spread across the states which weren't unheard of in Gotham.
Caroline replied, "We talk of this every year...That's depressing enough. Come on, let's clear the atmosphere.", with a smile, "I believe it's your turn to choose what's for dinner, son.", glancing at Waylon.
"Fun and silly. Let's go for spaghetti, meatballs, and garlic bread, along with a couple of other Italian appetizers.", Waylon smiled, and Thomas replied, "Right, let's spread out with our plans of relaxation and be there if the kids need help with their homework.".
"Knowing some of them, that might not be much of a problem.", Martha laughed. It was true though, obviously gamma connections were similar in ways like it was with Poppy and that their intelligence was quite high, even amongst many of their classmates and while time could show differently, it was still fairly certain that Poppy was always going to be the smartest in the family.
The family nodded and went off to relax with their hobbies and all. Alfred, of course, always is the butler, and one of the best chefs for the family, while on some flexibility, he goes to help Thomas and Martha with the homeless shelters and such by making food and all, and for Caroline, she is the beta chef below Alfred, but the staff can't argue against her incredible cooking of Southern style when they want to warm up during wintertime, and on some days here and there, she joins a group of book readers at one or two of the city's libraries.
For Waylon, he joined the boxing club occasionally while being a freelance chef for some families in Gotham, and for Poppy, she's still doing great as a tutor, often now doing it on the computer by camera style, while visiting some families here and there occasionally if needed physically, with some occasional adult acrobatics' meet competitions, but not too often, not wanting to put her family into the spotlight.
Bruce has been doing excellent as owner and boss at Wayne Entreprises, with Selina as his co-partner, with occasional buyouts of abandoned homes to use as rehabilitation for homeless dogs and cats from the shelters, and is part of the zoo's sponsorship, giving some money for any updates every year.
Sadly, two years ago, as the family didn't know exactly of Chess and Bandit's birth ages, the boys passed away, but Selina's cats are still living on in the manor, with more from the penthouse as rehabilitation helped them out every couple of years, and the adults have been thinking to adopt a dog on Damien's 8th birthday for the kids next year.
Bruce, at the moment, took a deep breath as he leaned back in his durable, high-quality chair in his office; his eyes almost starting to water at just the huge amount of paperwork he was having to go over. Being head of Wayne Enterprises was never portrayed to him growing up as some sort of easy gig, especially when he wanted a more hands-on approach with things. But some days really wore him down, especially the ones where he had a long night of patrolling.
It was a bit of a godsend that there were others to take the roles and give him a bit of a break, a thought always occurred to him that if both his parents had died that night, that he might be the only one to patrol the streets of Gotham. He took another breath as he closed his eyes, hopeful to catch at least a mini nap before there was a knock at his door.
"Johnathan, whoever it is, tell them I'll be with them in ten minutes.", Bruce informed his assistant. Selina always teased him about having a male assistant by claiming that he might not control himself running off with a female secretary even though Bruce honestly would rather die than ever hurt Selina and his family like that.
"I don't think it would be wise to wait ten minutes, sir... being that it's your wife.", Johnathan reported. Bruce quickly sat up before the door opened and Selina walked in.
"Thank you, Johnathan. I can take it from here.", Selina said as she walked in. "Did I catch you in the middle of a catnap?", she asked as she closed the door.
Bruce gave a wry chuckle, "I was rather calling it a mini nap myself, and I thought you'd prefer that term. And was about to doze off...What's going on?".
"Ah, just finished another business meeting with Lucius a hour ago before I went to my office, he's doing fabulous these days...Through I hope he'd ask to retire someday.", Selina replied with a smile.
Bruce smiled sheepishly, "I guess he owed so much to Dad that he would want to at least help me out, but yeah, I'll start going on that topic sooner or later for him to think about...You decided to give yourself a break from your paperwork in the office, huh?".
"Considering that I'm your co-partner, yeah, I am...No wonder why Martha was really determined all those years while Thomas was in the coma, even when before that, he was doing fabulous, though I didn't expect that the old board of directors was greedy and old-fashioned, but good on him to oust them in style.", Selina smirked before sitting on the edge of the desk with a soft glance, "And I thought you napped in the limo on the way here, with your head on my lap, Bruce...".
"Yeah, I did...Just that this is a lot of paperwork today, wearing me out...What's on your mind anyway?", Bruce asked with a hum, ignoring the paperwork eagerly, happy to lay his eyes on his wife, to hear her out as he would take any change of topic besides paperwork...And he thought homework was bad!
"Wanting a break myself, and I thought might as well spend it with you.", Selina smiled as she slowly lowered herself to lay on the table. Bruce quickly moved things aside so she could lay down without laying on something.
"I'm hoping you're not planning on what you're thinking on doing...", Bruce said. "The walls might be soundproofed but...". Selina started to laugh, "Jeez, Bruce, your mind went there! How naughty!".
Bruce smiled, "Couldn't help it...After all, I've been married to you for 8 years now...", taking her hand, kissing her fingers reverently and lovingly, rubbing her ring gently.
Selina chuckled, "Feels longer than that.", before turning her legs around, and raised herself up on her hands, looking at him, "Good thing you got an office couch for naps...Wanna make use of it as usually before napping with me for a bit?", with a smirk, not pushing him as she knew that Bruce is occasionally bold, but not all the time, while she is usually bolder.
Bruce replied, "I have a better idea...", standing up with his hands trailing over her legs, glad for her to be wearing a long autumn skirt, and took ahold of her with a deep kiss, turning her around as she kissed him back with a moan of surprise and delight, finding herself in Bruce's chair, looking at him in surprise as his hand automatically pressed the button to his assistant's headset.
"Johnathan, is there any important meetings that does need my attention?", Bruce asked, and Johnathan reported, "No, sir, you're clear. Your wife made sure of that as she had pushed the meeting sooner with Mr. Fox in your place, and that you're in the slot for an hour nap before resuming your work for another hour until 5:30 pm sharp for your pickup home.".
"Good. Thank you.", Bruce took his hand off the button and kissed her again, "Well, looks like we have a little time then...", with an awed smile. "Not feeling tired now?", Selina sensually purred.
Bruce grinned, "Not for now, no, but I'd take the last 30 minutes of that slot for our nap...Thank you for taking my place to talk with Lucius, you're brilliant, you know that?".
Selina giggled, "You should say that more often.", and Bruce purred, "I intend to...", before kissing her again as his hands was quick on going under her skirt, tugging her leggings and underwear, discovering her to be wet.
Selina moaned, whispering, "Had to simulate myself as a bit of distraction from some particular boring paperwork while thinking of you, my hunky Bat...", and Bruce whispered, "My brilliant Cat...", as her hands made work of his pants and boxers, springing his eager manhood free which didn't waste time as he moved in tenderly yet passionately.
"B-Bruce! Oh...yes!", Selina gasped and moaned, realizing his idea of him taking her in his own office chair, their feet on the floor, keeping the chair grounded as her hands clenched into the armrests.
Bruce moaned and grunted, "So perfect and warm for me, Selina...Loving this idea, hmm?", and Selina nodded, "I do! Don't stop...", and Bruce purred, "Wouldn't dream of it...".
And so, their tender yet passionate tryst in the chair lasted almost so slowly for Selina, and five minutes before the half hour rings in, she begged as she realized that Bruce hadn't gone deep to hit her G-spot, "Bruce, please! I want you really in, I'm damn close!".
Bruce growled, "Put your legs up, Selina, be the flexible Cat for me...", and Selina was confused for just a second before she blushed and grinned at the same time, opening and lifting her legs gracefully up and over his shoulders, her feet hooked behind Bruce's lower neck, and felt Bruce plant his hands hard on the edges of the seat on her sides, keeping the chair frozen still, using his strength, with his legs poised, and moved in faster and harder, pounding into her as she cried out in pleasure loudly, "Yes!", finally feeling the edge of her orgasm, her hands clenching still into the armrests.
"Selina... I'm going...", Bruce groaned. "Come inside, Bruce... I want you inside so bad...", Selina moaned. She had been taking birth control for a long time now; part of her only really wanted Damien especially with so many kids running around, not to mention the fact that the two of them just couldn't keep their hands off each other and bouts of lovemaking were quite common for them, meaning that it was better to be on the pills.
Bruce moaned and growled in pleasure, "I love you, Selina...", as he went deep, thrusting faster and deeper, and Selina cried out in pleasure, "Yes, I love you too, Bruce!", and a minute later, they almost became a puddle as they came together in climax, panting as Bruce kissed Selina's neck affectionately, feeling her hands wrap around his head, conjoining with her legs, as they pressed so close and deep.
Selina whispered with a wry smile, "Very clever of you to surprise me, husband...and be demanding as a turn on for me...", and Bruce chuckled, "You always find a way to bring my bold side out even if it's an occasional surprise to make you happy, wife...I don't know if I can keep a straight face for some time while thinking of this moment of taking you right in my office chair...Much better than a hard desk, hmm?", with a smile.
"Oh, much better...", Selina giggled warmly as she kissed him on the lips, and they recovered, grabbing some ingenious disinfection wipes from one of the desk drawers for the chair, and some baby wipes to clean themselves before adjusting themselves back to proper appearance, and went to the couch to nap together, cuddling into the rest of the hour.
After a much restful, needed nap, Bruce heard the faint alarm clock on his phone, for his schedule, and he opened his eyes to see Selina with a soft murmur, cuddling deeper into his side, and he smiled with a chuckle, knowing how Selina loves her sleep, probably as double as Bruce does, and went to check his and Selina's phones, seeing messages and such from the family.
Bruce unlocked his phone to check the messages, and an eyebrow quirked as he saw the situation, and chuckled. "I can hear your brain working, Bruce...Please tell me that it's not more paperwork for you...You already have a load on the desk for the last hour today before we leave for home...", Selina muttered in her sleep.
"Nope, no more God-forsaken paperwork. I got pictures of Damien studying like there's no tomorrow from Poppy, and Waylon texted that there was a deal made for Damien and the others to trade completed homework for some major fun on the weekends, and no, it's not either the museum, park, or any sports game. Apparently, the carnival had arrived as of today and is going to stay for the month.", Bruce replied.
"The circus? Huh... guess the children got excited for it...", Selina chuckled. "And obviously, they're probably being bribed for it. Do their homework and all and they can go.", Bruce said. "Of course, he's asking me what our answer would be on it.".
"Obviously, yes.", Selina shrugged. "I don't see what's wrong with it, especially if they do their homework and all." Bruce smiled, "I say yes too, but let's tease our son for a bit. After all, he's probably wanting to finish his homework to show us and be on his feet to hear our answer. After all, he knows that we're at work, technically true.".
Selina raised an eyebrow, raising her head as she chuckled, "Fair enough, after all, it's only a couple of hours until we get home, no harm there...Good thing that the kids are smart, but not too smart...I couldn't help remembering Mom and Dad's story about you practically asking for a sibling when you were almost 8, still 7.", with a smirk as she was curious about any kid-embarrassing, slightly traumatizing stories of Bruce throughout the years.
"Oh, god...Mom and Dad shouldn't have told you that...", Bruce blushed, embarrassed and sheepish, "Not fair bringing it up!". He thought Selina had forgotten about it, but when he thought she was done, she always finds a way to tease him.
"Of course, that was also the same time...", Bruce closed his eyes. "I nearly didn't get a sibling, hell, almost lost both my parents. That thief, he shot Mom too. She should've been dead if not for Mama.".
