Dick lays like a beautiful princess and Roy lays like a cartoon character who just had an anvil fall on him

Girl Dad Dick Grayson

Might make a mini fic series of Dick and his daughter

He’s torn, he treats his daughter the same way he treats his son

But still can’t help but also treat her like his princess

He encourages her to get in there and play with the boys if she wants to go

But also jumps if any of them gets to rough with her

He knows she’s a strong and independent young lady who can stand up for herself

But also knows how he was as a teenager and the thoughts he had about girls and hates the thought of anyone thinking of his daughter like that

Girl dad Dick Grayson braids hair, let’s her paint his nails and sends Barbara and her off on girl days, treats treats them to breakfast in bed and has his son help

He’s also sure to use it as a teaching moment for his son to take care of the ladies in your life but never forget they can kick your butt just as well if not better then you could

Dick at the manor with his and Babs toddler daughter. Putting sunscreen on her before they go in the pool

Jason: SPF 130 plus? I didn't even know it went that high

Barbara: because its special order Dick paid $70 for that tube

Jason: that's a little overboard don't you think?

Dick: ummm no. Babs and my daughter are red heads with fair, sensitive skin. My queens deserve the highest skin protection. As well as the best hair products for their rare beauty

*. Picks up his daughter and goes outside*

Jason: being a dad has changed him

Barbara: honestly I think having a daughter did. I think he's afraid of Karma coming back to him when our daughter is older so he's doing everything to make sure he treats us both like royalty

[dibs4ever]

I didn't realize it was flirting

Dick Grayson stepped onto the playground of the Gotham Academy Preschool Unit, scanning the yard for his 4-year-old son.

He spotted Melanie West instead, the daughter of his best friend Wally West

Dick smiled kneeling to the 4-year-old blonde's height “Hey Mels, how was your day?”

The little girl smiled “Good Uncle Dick.”

He nodded “That’s great, where’s Nathan?” He questioned

Her face went blank and she pointed across the yard to a bench where his son sat, his head bowed

Dick stood, Melanie running off to rejoin her friends

Sister Mary Katherine-one of the assistant teachers and Nathan’s favorite teacher approached him “Hello Mr. Grayson “ she greeted with a nervous smile

Dick nodded “Good afternoon sister, can I ask why my son is sitting out? Did he do something? Wrong?”

The young nun sighed “Well- to be honest what he did myself and Sister Eileen would have brushed off as children being children. But Sister Louise overheard and since she is the head teacher——“

Dick nodded “You had to allow her to do what she saw fit.”

The nun nodded, and the two began walking toward the bench where Sister Louise stood beside Nathan.

“What did he do? Nathan isn’t typically in trouble” he asked

Mary Katherine nodded “Yes Nathan is one of our most well-behaved children. As I said it wasn’t something I’d of given much mind to but—“ she was cut off when Sister Louise approached them.

“Mr. Grayson.” She greeted

Dick smiled “Hello Sister Louise”

Nathan smiled at seeing his father jumping off the bench and running to him, Dick scooped up his son. Hugging him tightly

“Hi Daddy,” he said brightly

Dick brushed his son's dark locks “Hey Nate.” their blue eyes bore into each other

Dick looked back at the older Nun and his son's headteacher

“Mr.Grayson, your son is very respectful and a very hard-working boy.” she began

Dick smirked “Yeah, my wife and I try our best.”

The old woman smiled “Indeed you are doing well but - he's a bit of a…..how do I say this.”

“Flirt.” Mary Katherine cut in

Louise glared at the younger woman.

Mary Katherine bowed her head “I'm going back with Sister Eileen to watch the remaining children.” she excused hurrying off

Louise turned her attention back towards Dick and Nathan” Nathan likes to chase the little girls” she stated

Dick furrowed his eyebrows “What like tag?”

The woman tilted her head “Sorta but he says “Who wants a kiss” then chases them and attempts to kiss them on the cheek, sometimes with success. Other times he likes to help the little girls climb the monkey bars by holding their legs for them as they cross. If a little girl falls while outside he always helps them up and brushes them off telling them how nice they look when he's finished.”

Dick rose an eyebrow “So how do you suppose I stop it? He's not doing anything wrong but I understand where it wouldn't be appropriate at your school.”

Louise shrugged “Do you speak to your wife like that?”

Dick nodded “Well yes of course.”

The woman shrugged “Perhaps don't in front of Nathan, children mimic behaviors.”

“We will work on it ma'am, have a nice evening.” Dick grinned walking away with his son, trying not to chuckle as he thought of how Babs was going to find out another thing their son had inherited from him.

The father walked into the house he shared with his wife. His four-year-old was in front of him as he made a beeline for the kitchen.

Dick set the boy's lunch box on the counter and began unpacking it. Putting the bento box in the sink and taking out his water bottle.

He hadn’t said anything to his son about his behavior at school. In his opinion, his son wasn’t doing anything wrong necessarily. But agreed some of it could be viewed as inappropriate. He’d discuss it with Babs before bringing it up to the boy

Nathan climbed up on a stool and sat down

“Nate, what do you want for a snack today?”

Nathan looked up in thought, scrunching up his nose in the cute little way Barbara did

“Fridge or Pantry snack?” He asked pointing to each

“Do we have any leftover Alfred cookies from dinner at Grampie’s the other night?” The preschooler asked

Dick chuckled “We sure do!” He grabbed a Tupperware from the pantry “Two cookies and a glass of milk sound good?”

Nathan nodded

Dick pulled 2 plates and 2 cups from the cabinet

He places 2 cookies on each plate “That is a great idea for a snack I think Daddy is gonna have the same.”

He put the cookies back then went to the fridge and poured 2 glasses of milk before coming over to his son sitting beside him the 2 enjoyed their snack. The boy talking about his day of coloring, learning about the weather, and his friends

Dick was finishing up washing dishes when they heard the front door open. Both males looked at each other and smiled “Mommy!” Nathan jumped from the stool and ran toward the doorway. Dick followed behind,

Nathan was hugging Barbara’s legs, their 2-year-old daughter still on her hip.

Dick grabbed her so that Barbara could give their son a better hug

“Hey, sweetie did you have a good day.” She asked him

Nathan nodded

Dick looked at his daughter “What about you Leah?” He ran a hand through her red hair “Did you have a good day with great-grandfather?”

She nodded “Garden, pick begable”

He fake gasped “You helped great-grandfather Alfred pick vegetables from his garden?”

Leah giggled nodding her head

“I got time out.” Nathan suddenly confided

Barbara looked toward Dick and rose an eyebrow

“I’ll explain in a minute” Dick informed

In unison, they set their kids down

Both ran to the living room to start playing.

Once they were out of earshot Barbara leaned over and pecked his lips

“Welcome home” Dick smiled kissing her again

They watched their kids play for a moment, making certain they were distracted before she spoke. “So why did our typically perfectly mannered 4-year-old get in trouble at preschool? If Alfred had told me Leah was a little hellian Id believe it 'cause she's our wild child but Nate……he’s never had a bad report from school.”

Dick shook his head “That's why I haven't said anything to him about it. I'm not sure if it was bad behavior.”

Barbara turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow

Dick placed his hands on her hips and she couldn't help the smile that formed from his touch

“They said he's.….flirty with the girls. But I don't think he realizes he's flirting,” he explained

Barbara giggled “What?! What does he do?”

Dick shrugged “According to the Nuns he likes to help the little girls climb the monkey bars by holding their legs for them as they cross. If a little girl falls while outside he always helps them up and brushes them off then proceeds to tell them how nice they look when he's finished”

Barbara shrugged “That's not that bad. He's a sweet little boy I think they're digging too deep, to be honest.”

Barbara grinned “he plays a form of tag called who wants a kiss. Where he chases the little girls and catches them with a kiss on the cheek.”

Barbara laughed “Now I can see where that is an issue…..but just like his father I don't think he realizes what he's doing you're right.”

Dick held a hand to his chest “Hey this isn't my fault” he smirked

Barbara poked his chest “You said yourself you don't think he realizes what he's doing. Takes one to know one Mr-I made my future wife jealous in high school by flirting with the popular girls who were mean to her.”

Dick rolled his eyes pulling her closer to him “I was a oblivious teenager. I have an open personality and didn't realize what I was doing seemed like flirting and I had no clue

You had a crush on me at that time.” he kissed his lips “Being around someone I was attracted to…..I was so awkward and shy” he pecked her lips again

Barbara smiled “I remember that time in our friendship, you were adorable”

Dick chuckled pressing their foreheads together “I’ll show you adorable”

They were about to kiss again when-

“Mommy Daddy can we go outside?” Nathan’s voice pipped in

Barbara sighed “Yes sweetie, leave the back door open so Dad and I can hear you.”

She turned to Dick “Okay how are we going to explain to our 4-year-old he can't flirt with his classmates Mr.Grayson charm?”

He didn't know but there was no way he was going to go with Sister Loises suggestion of not flirting with Babs around the kids. In his option it was healthy for them to witness mild PG moments of their parents loving each other

[dibs4ever]

Hair Braiding

Dick Grayson sat on the floor of his living room, his five year old daughter Leah sat in front of him as he brushed her long Copper red hair. “Daddy” the little girl pipped

“Yes sweetie?” Dick smiled, spraying some detangling spray on the ends of her hair.

“How are you good at this?” she asked

She patted her head

Dick chuckled “at doing hair?”

Leah nodded “the other day when I went to school with the braid you did my teacher said my mommy did my hair so pretty. I told her my daddy did it. Two girls in my class said daddies don't do hair”

He smiled running his fingers through his daughters hair “well sweetie I learned how to do girls hair before you were even born” be explained

Leah turned her head to look over her shoulder “How?”

“Face forward so I can start braiding” he said gently

The little girl obeyed

Dick used a comb and parted his daughters hair starting on the left side he pinched some hair at the top of her scalp then began separating it into 3 equal parts. He started braiding grabbing a little more with each overpass as he mad his way down her head

“Mommy taught me how. Before you or your brother were even a thought” he began to explain

The red headed child squirmed “a thought? Whats that mean?”

Dick nodded “It means when I learned your mom and I never even thought we’d have babies together. We were just friends. Only 13 years old. Which I know since you are 5 and your brother is 8 that sounds like a really big age. But it actually isn't. We were just kids.”

She smiled “mommy taught you?”

Dick nodded finishing off the braid and moving to the right side of her head “yup. See daddy always liked your mommy’s hair.-” he thought back on the memory as he told the story

*flashback*

13 year old Dick and Barbara sat in her bedroom after school doing homework

Barbara was on her bed, Dick sitting at the desk

Barbara stretched out running her fingers through her long red hair sighing in frustration

She noticed Dick watching her “what?” she rose an eyebrow

Dick shrugging “nothing, just admiring your hair” he smiled

Barbara looked at him oddly “what about it?”

Dick stood and stepped toward the bed to look more directly at her “Its just so pretty. I guess cause its unique ya know. There aren't many red haired, blue eyed people. Ontop of that yours is such a pretty shade” he complimented

Barbara smiled “thanks.” she reached over to her side table drawer and pulled out a hair brush and package of hair ties “If you like it so much braid it so it's out of my face while I do homework.” she sat back up and patted the space behind her

Dick got on her bed and sat where she had patted he began brushed her hair nervously “I ugh”

Barbara looked over her shoulder “You don't know how to braid do you?”

The hound teen smiled at his friend “guilty.”

Barbara grabbing a handful of hair and pulling it infront of her face “watch” she said

Dick shuffled so he was now beside her “okay let’s start with a simple braid I’ll show you French and others as you go along, pull it into 3 equal parts then you just alternate.” She showed him a few examples Dick watched “now try” she released her hair. Dick reached up and began copying what she did

“There you go , you got it.” Barbara complimented, grabbing the hair from him and throwing it back behind her “Now do it in the back all together.”

He smiled shuffling behind her again “so bossy.”

Barbara shrugged “You listen”

“Never said I didn’t like it.” He teased

Barbara turned her head to look at him

“What does that mean?” She asked the innocence of her age showing

Dick felt his face go red, his innocence being equal to hers. “I-I don’t know I just. I don’t mind you being bossy to me I guess”

Barbara nodded relaxing as she felt his hands playing with her hair

*end flashback*

“So that’s how mommy taught you?” Leah asked as Dick finished off her double French braid

Dick nodded running a hand over the top of her head to smooth out her hair then kissing the top of her head “yup your mommy is awesome like that. “

Leah laughed “Mommy is great”

Dick smiled “that she is.”

“But you’re the best daddy there is. I've heard my friends talk about their dads and you always sound way better than them.”

Dick chucked “Thank you baby girl. Now come on get your stuff, mom’s probably done with making your breakfast and you need to eat before we have to leave for school.”

The Gift

“BG over here” Nightwing called

Barbara, dawned in her Batgirl suit followed his voice.

They were patrolling together, making up for Batman being on a Justice League mission

They heard an odd noise. At first, Dick brushed off the noise as a cat behind the dumpster below

But something didn’t sit right with Barbara. Everything within her was saying that the sound was worth inspecting

Dick agreed both of them dropping down into the ally. Dick opted to be the first to check out the dumpster

She went over to him pulling something gently out of the dumpster wrapped in a dirty towel

“What is it?” She asked as Dick seemed to cradle the item

Dick peeled back the towel “It’s a baby…..a newborn”

Barbara’s jaw dropped “Who would do this? What do we do?”

The baby continued to whimper

“He needs medical attention as soon as possible. I don’t know some sicko probably dumped him.”

“Him?” Barbara questioned

Dick nodded “Yeah he wasn’t covered in there, poor baby Babs. Half the umbilical cord is still attached to him.”

Barbara frowned “Should Batgirl and Nightwing bring him to the hospital? Grappling hooks will get him there faster than waiting for EMS”

Nightwing nodded “Here” he handed the bundle over to her. Barbara nervously took the baby

He had calmed down now, looking up at her helplessly.

Nightwing dug into his utility belt to retrieve his grappling hook “I’ll carry you, you carry him okay?” He grabbed her waist

She pulled the newborn closer to her. He shot off the hook and they took off. Arriving at Gotham Memorial 5 minutes later

Dawned in full Batgirl and Nightwing attire they approached the desk of the ER, explaining they had found a small baby.

After seeing the baby, the desk made phone calls and redirected them upstairs to labor and delivery saying that they’d have better access to what the newborn needed

Which is why she and Dick were currently in a hospital room. A bed and a hard couch were in the room but of no use for them. They paced the floor as the nurse examined the infant, they’d trimmed and clamped his cord, cleaned him up, and put a diaper on him. They had many monitors connected to his little body as he lay in the little bassinet

“Is he okay?” Batgirl asked

The nurse sighed “We appreciate you two being here until the Department of Children and Families arrives. He needs someone in here as a guardian of sorts even if it’s only for a few hours.”

Dick nodded, he couldn’t help but notice the many alarms going off

“His heart rate and body temperature, we can’t get it to regulate. He’s only about 12 hours old. God knows how long of that time he was in the dumpster.”

Barbara stepped forward, standing beside Dick “How do you fix that?”

The nurse looked at them “Normally we recommend skin-to-skin. Being on another person's bare body, feeling all that…..it allows them to kinda remind their body what to do. But since he doesn’t have any parents to do that for him-“

“I’ll do it.” Dick cut off reaching behind his back and unzipping the top half of his suit

The nurse stared for only a second, taking a deep breath and trying to remain professional

She lifted the baby and handed him to Nightwing, who laid the baby clad in just a diaper against his bare skin. The three watched as the monitors began slowing and the beeping tune changed.

“Why don’t you sit on the couch.” The nurse waved. Grabbing the cart with the machines he was connected to and following them to the couch where Dick sat down

“I’m going to go make rounds to my other patients. If you need anything give the front desk a buzz. If you're gone before I come back….thank you for saving this baby boy’s life”

Barbara smiled “It was nothing, it’s what we do” she assured watching the woman leave

Batgirl sat beside him still watching in awe

It was a sight

Nightwing, top off, bottoms and mask still on, hair messy as always

His strong shoulders and arms held the baby with the utmost care. His broad chest and abdominal muscles relaxed as the baby lay on them.

He was asleep. The unnamed baby was abandoned at birth.

“What?” Dick cut off

Barbara shrugged “Just you. You’re amazing.”

He smiled “Babs it’s easier for me to do skin-to-skin than you. Your boobs would’ve been out “ he chuckled

Barbara rolled her eyes “Want a blanket?” She asked looking at the one on the bed

He shot her a smirk “Tired of seeing me shirtless?”

She rolled her eyes, standing up and grabbing the blanket she softly put it over Dick and the baby boy “This is to keep the baby warm. Not you.” She teased

Dick chuckled watching her sit back down. He stroked the baby's bald head. It looked like he had the slightest bit of blonde hair

“You’re good at that. Taking care of a baby.” Barbara noted

Dick shook his head “Babs he’s just laying on my chest. I’m hardly doing anything”

She shrugged “You were so quick to do it. And the way you pulled him out of that dumpster with such care.”

Dick smiled “And you are the reason we found him in the first place. I thought it was a cat, you were the one insistent that we further investigate”

The monitor continued to show regular levels as Barbara watched it, the newborn let out a little whimper and turned his head

“Wanna-do you want to try the skin-to-skin thing?” He offered

Barbara shook her head “You’re right, if a nurse walks in my boobs would be out and it’d be “

“Weird” Dick chuckled

Barbara smiled

As if on cue a nurse a different one from before walked in, she was younger perhaps an intern

“Oh sorry I- she stuttered seeing Nightwing shirtless with a baby on his chest and Batgirl sitting beside him “Your nurse asked that I bring a bottle. Said he might be hungry.” She waved a bottle

Barbara took it from her “Thanks.”

The nurse smiled “The-state called a few minutes ago. Said they should be here within the hour”

“Did DCF find a foster home yet?” Dick asked

The women sighed “He will probably go to a temporary placement for the night . But don’t worry he’s a newborn. Blonde haired, possibly blue eyed…..shouldn’t be hard to find him a home” she laughed lightly “you ummm you guys ever heard of Bruce Wayne?” The young nurse rolled her eyes at herself “of course you have-you are the protectors of the city you probably know everyone. Anyways he’s adopted-errr taken in a lot of kids over the years who didn’t have parents and they wernt babies. Trust me being a baby- this guy will have a family in no time” she assured shuffling her feet toward the door “I’ll ummm I’ll leave you for now. We appreciate you guys staying with him til the state arrives.” She began walking towards the door but paused “they may let you two name him. It won’t necessarily be the name he keeps- they’ll leave that up to the adoptive parents but until then it’d be the name the state refers to him as.”

She left, Batgirl twirled the bottle in her hand

Dick shuffled the baby into his arm, wrapping the blanket around him

“You wanna feed him?”

Barbara nodded taking the baby from him and cradling him in her arms, he took the bottle immediately

“So we get to name him eh?” Barbara smiled at him, feeling Dick watching her -watch the baby drink the bottle

“Do you have any ideas?” She asked

Dick nodded “I do.”

Barbara turned to look at him “you do?” She asked surprised

Dick nodded “obviously I don’t want to give him a name after anyone in our family- or that we really like cause we might want to use that for our…. “ he stopped himself and she was thankful he didn’t finish that sentence “anyways he still deserves a name with meaning I was thinking Jesse.”

“Jesse? I’ve never heard you talk about that name.”

Dick shrugged “like I said I don’t want to use one that holds any personal meaning. But that name means “gift.” This boy is a gift to whomever gets to raise him.” He said as he stroked the boys peach fuzz if blonde hair.

Barbara smiled, the baby finished the bottle. She lifted him up so they could both look at him “Jesse? You like that. You want to be called Jesse for now?”

The newborn made a little gurgle sound.

The two laughed “Jesse it is” she said handing him back to Dick “you burp him so that he can be back skin to skin “

Dick nodded taking Jesse back and laying him on his chest

The State arrives not much later, thanking them.

They put “Jesse Doe” on his temporary birth certificate

A few months later Dick and Barbara find out through hacking computer data that the baby had been adopted by a wealthy couple in New York City who’d been longing for a child for years. They’d kept the name Jesse after finding out how he was found and named by the hero’s Batgirl and Nightwing

The baby would have a happy healthy life

Barbara smiled “How crazy is it that we named a human?”

Dick nodded “a human that’s not even ours”

Barbara shook her head “that would be something that only happens to us”

There was a beat of silence

Barbara broke it “when you said you didn’t want to use names that-“

Dick sighed, wrapping her in a hug “forget about it. I was letting thoughts of the future come and you know how we try to avoid that.”

A part of her wanted to hear more. She was curious what other names he liked

But she knew- they tried to avoid the future, opting to live in the now.

So instead she just smiled and kissed his cheek

[dibs4ever]

So mad at how long this took

Grocery Shopping

Barbara (Gordon) Grayson pushed the shopping cart down the Jam and cereal aisle. Her 20-month-old son sitting in the seat of the cart

“Okay, Nathan next on our list is Strawberry Jam for our toast” She began examining the shelves for the one that they used. Grabbing it off the shelf. Turning back to the cart she noticed an elderly woman looking at them “Pardon my gaze, your little one is so precious” she grinned

Barbara reached up running a hand through her son's dark locks “Thank you.”

The woman stepped forward “His eyes, they're son crystal blue. It’s breathtaking”

Barbara nodded “Yes I was pretty pleased when he inherited his father's eyes”

“Is he the father mini-me?” the woman asked

Barbara shrugged “Yes mostly.”

Nathan decided at this moment to cover his eyes with his hands then pull them off “Peak a boo!” he said with a smile before repeating his action towards the elderly woman

Her face lit up; “Oh how precious! You just made my day little one!” she held a hand to her chest

“Peak a boo” Nathan repeated with his heart melting smile

The woman rested a hand on Barbara’s shoulder “enjoy these years, I better get going.” she walked away.

Barbara turned to her son “Okay Nate where were we? What do we need next?”

“Daddy.” he pointed toward the cereals

Barbara smiled “Ah yes, it's not on the list but you're right. Daddy is out of cereal, what kind should we get? This?” she held up a box of Raisin Bran. The toddler shook his head “No- dat mama.” he pointed to a pink box

Barbara picked it up “Crumbl? There's no way this is healthy.” she read the back of the box

“You sure this is the one daddy wants?” she rose an eyebrow at the boy. She didn't really care what Dick got. The kid was actually right Dick loved sugary cereal and would get a kick out of it when she told him, Nathan had picked it out

The toddler nodded “Yes” he confirmed

Barbara laughed lightly “Okay well I guess we can get it.” she tossed it into the cart

She pushed on “Okay Daddy is at the farmers market getting our fruits and vegetables for the week, so we can skip that aisle. Next is….dog food for Haley so we need to go to the pet aisle.”

Nathan smiled “Alee!” he clapped his hand

Barbara smiled “That’s right our dog Haley needs food”

When they turned the aisle Barbara stopped the cart in front of Haley’s regular food “gentle giants.” when she turned to hold the bag she saw her son smiling at two teenage girls who were around 17

“Hi!” Nathan waved

The girls smiled “Hey cutie” one spoke

Barbara grinned putting her hands on the handle of the cart “See Aley food! “ he pointed

“He’s showing you our dog’s food” Barbara explained

The other girl nodded “He’s so cute!” she gushed

“Thank you have a nice day” Barbara smiled

Nathan grinned at the girls as they walked by “Ank u have a nice day!” he waved as she pushed the cart away

Once they turned the aisle Barbara stopped the cart and looked at her son. Leaning forward so their foreheads were touching “How many more times are we gonna get stopped today Little Grayson?” he giggled and she laughed as they continued with their shopping trip

Barbara and Nathan returned home a bit later finding Dick in the kitchen

“There you two are!” he took Nathan from Barbara’s arms. Kissing his head then pulling Barbara in by her waist pecking her lips. “I was on Farmer's market duty, never thought I'd beat you home since it's across town.”

Barbara laughed “Well you wouldn't have if our son wasn't so eye-catching” She walked back outside to the car, Dick following behind their son still in tow “What's that supposed to mean?” he chuckled

She grabbed a few bags in both hands, Dick grabbed 3 bags with his free hand

They turned and began walking back into the house “It means, anytime I go out we get stopped at least 3 times for people to tell me how cute he is”

They set the groceries on the counter. Dick chuckled moving his son and lifting him over his head

“That's a good point, people do stop us every time we go somewhere with him don't they?” he threw Nathan up lightly and caught him, the toddler giggling

Barbara smiled “he doesn't help the situation by flirting back”

Dick playfully rolled his eyes “he's like his father. He doesn't realize he's flirting while he does it.”

Barbara rolled her eyes playfully “Is that what it is? All those times I got jealous as a teenager cause my friend I secretly had a crush on was flirting with other girls but not me.”

Dick was about to speak when Nathan began to squirm “Daddy I'm down.”

Dick set the toddler down; they watched him run into the living room, getting occupied by his basket of toys.

They focused their attention back on each other. Dick lowered his head, narrowing his eyes and pulling her by the waist to him with both hands-free now. Pressing their foreheads together. “You know for a fact the reason I didn't flirt with you was because of the opposite effect. You were my best friend, I was finding myself attracted to you and I didn't know how to flirt with someone I was so enamored by”

Barbara smiled, running a hand up his back and to his scalp “Seem to be doing a good job now.” she wiggled her bottom one of his hands was currently on

Dick kissed her lips “What can I say; I overcame my fears”

Barbara kissed his lips again, then rested her head on her shoulder. Looking towards the living room. Dick followed her gaze

“We really did make a cute kid. “ he noted

Barbara looked up at him “he looks just like you.” she tugged lightly on his chin

Dick smirked “Not completely, he’s got your nose, cute little freckles, and your brains. He’s the perfect mix of both of us.” He finished by kissing the top of her head

Dick: Babs and I took Haley to a local park for a walk. It’s usually nice, she runs freely in a field. There’s a playground nearby. Sometimes kids come over to see her. Haley likes the socializing and it gives an opportunity for me to teach the future generation that although Haley appears to have a limitation she isn’t actually limited at all and can do anything a 4 legged dog can do. Open their eyes to people can look different but be no different then them ya know

Jason: I’m sure Barb thinks that’s adorable

Dick: she does…anyway this time when we went there was a little girl petting Haley. Her mom was with her, I was chatting being friendly. Babs was in the restroom . The woman I picked up on was hitting on me. She went as far as asking me to dinner. I was turning her down and explaining I was a taken man when Babs walked back up. The little girl goes “Mommy look! They’re like Princess Ariel and Prince Eric. He even has a dog like Prince Eric does.!” Poor little girl mom snatched her wrist and said “Sweetie any red head and dark haired man can look like princess Ariel and Prince Eric.” Then walked away

Jason: Gesh talk about bitter

Dick: Right! And totally not true. Not any red head can look like Ariel. Sure Babs does but not every red headed female does

Barbara coming to meet Dick at a restaurant for lunch. She walks in and goes to the hostess stand where 3 waitresses are talking

Barbara: excuse me I’m here to meet someone

Waitress #1: I’ll be right with you

Waitress #2: He’s so gorgeous-best looking man I have ever seen!!

Waitress #3 : too bad he said table for 2. He told me he’s waiting for the other person to arrive

Waitress #1: Well it could be a sibling or a colleague, perhaps his parent

Waitress #2: you should write your number on his receipt! If you don’t I will

Barbara: Ladies I need to sit….(notices who they are looking at) actually I don’t need your help I see him. Continue.

Barbara marches straight in the females lines of vision to Dick. As soon as he sees her he stands, pulling the chair out for her. He plants a kiss on her lips before pushing her chair back in , then taking his own seat

Dick: I was wondering where you were

Barbara: well I was waiting forever-those waitresses are oogling at you

Dick: I noticed….but ya know she took our drink order 15 minutes ago and still hasn’t brought our waters

Barbara: and here she was saying she wanted to give you her number

Dick: she’ll be lucky to get a tip at this point

[dibs4ever]

Barbara watching Dick doing acrobatics with their preschool aged son

Barbara: I grew him inside me for 9 months…..birthed him with no pain meds. Only for him to look and act exactly like his father.

Baby Grayson: Daddy did you know the adult brain weighs 3lbs. It’s about 60% fat and 40% water, protein and carbohydrates.

Barbara: Ah there I am

[dibs4ever]

When Barbara has Dick Grayson’s baby- they aren't a couple. Yet they're a couple who has a baby together. And there's no way Barbara wants them to become a couple just because they have a baby.

Dick’s phone keeps ringing while this is happening

Dick pulls away from their kiss and looks at his watch to see that it is Damian

Dick: I gotta answer this

Barbara: now! No Babe, ignore it if he’s in trouble he can call one of your brothers, or Bruce or hell John Kent. But I need you and look at our position right now

Dick: Babs if I don’t answer him he will assume the worse and start a manhunt to track me down and walk in on us. Best to end it now

Barbara: you’re right. Answer it

Dick: hey little D, you good?

Damian; I’m fine I just haven’t seen you on fathers radar tracking system and wanted to make sure you are okay

Dick; I’m fine. It’s my night off

Damian: Oh….so you’re home? In bed?

Dick: listen little brother, I’m a little……tied up at the moment . With things that Vigilant works keeps me from doing. Can I get back to you in the morning ?

Damian: yes, my question has been answered

Hangs up the phone

Barbara: tied up. Really?

Dick: there were no lies in what I told him.

Barbara: oh shut up and kiss me

16 year old Dick Grayson: Bruce can I talk to you about something

Bruce : ummm sure. This vigilante related?

Dick: no but ugh- look I know you’re not my Dad. And I will forever be grateful that you have never tried to be that role but I kinda ….

Bruce:need that right now? You need advice on something?

Dick: sorta. It’s about Babs

Bruce: Barbara Gordon? Is it a Batgirl thing?

Dick: no it’s not a batgirl thing. It’s a friendship thing. As you know she’s been my friend basically since I became your ward. Well lately I’m finding my eyes…wondering

Bruce: wondering?

Dick: yeah to her……and her…..then there’s also her- she’s changing. Not personality wise but her body and I just. I try not to look but my eyes get the best of me sometimes. I feel bad cause she’s my friend but like —-

Bruce: are you trying to tell me you’re attracted to Barbara?

Dick: I don’t know if I am or not - I was hoping you could help me with how I feel

Bruce: ummmm AFLRED??!!

Teenaged Dick and Barbara. Keeping each other warm on a Gotham rooftop

Barbara: ya know we can’t keep doing this. It’s risky

Dick: but I love secret cuddle time

Barbara: me too but if we ever got caught…..

Dick: we won’t

Barbara: but what if we do. How could we explain we’re just friends

Dick: simple- we’re just friends who like to cuddle

Barbara; that doesn’t sound believable

Dick; but that’s what it is

Barbara; but nobody would get it. Our friendship is unique

Babs calling Dick “Boy Wonder” as an affectionate nickname will always give me life 💚💙
