What Lies Beneath

Chapter 25: Epilogue

Chapter Text

The past nine months had been a crazy whirlwind for you and everyone. Mariah and Tim decided to take over Jason’s apartment and have Jason move in with you so the two of you could have room for the little one that was on the way.

Jason had been nothing, but supportive and excited ever since you delivered the news about him being a father. And of course, you accepted his proposal. Your friends and family couldn’t be happier for the two of you.

It felt as if your pregnancy just flew by. Selina and Mariah threw an over the top baby shower where you and Jason got more than what you asked for. The two of you threw a gender reveal party with just your close friends and family.

Jason pampered you. Treated you like a queen and sometimes like you were the most fragile thing on earth, but secretly you loved it. Together, you painted the nursery and got it all set up for your little on.

Dick, Tim, and Damian were so stoked about becoming an uncle. And Bruce couldn’t go a day without talking about his future grandbaby and all of the things he wanted to do. Bruce couldn’t decide if he wanted to be called grandpa, gramps, or papa. Of course the boys ribbed him about that, but you enjoyed seeing him so excited for something.

Every night, Jason would talk to the baby. He would tell him stories about his childhood, the adventures the two of you went on with his brothers, and all of the promises he already had in place for your baby.

Jason took it upon himself to read every baby book he could get his hands on. All of your friends and family had ideas and suggestions for baby names, but when you and Jason found out the gender the two of you knew the right name for your baby, but you were going to keep it a secret until the baby arrived.

As the days turned into weeks and weeks into months you were growing more and more anxious to meet your baby. Just the thought of having this little thing that’s going to look like you and Jason was so exciting. To know that you and Jason were in this together and were starting a future together was all that you could ask for.

The time had finally come. Jason was in the living room playing video games with Damian. The youngest Wayne had started to spend a lot more time at your place as your due date got closer. He insisted on not missing this amazing moment.

Walking out of your bedroom, you were pulling on your sweater.

“Jay,” You said calmly.

“Hmm,” Jason hummed as he looked up at you.

“It’s time,” You told him.

Damian froze.

“Time for what?” Jason asked.

“Is the baby coming?” Damian screeched.

Jason dropped the remote and scrambled to his feet.

“It’s time, my water broke,” You said.

“Holy shit,” Jason gasped as he started to run all over looking for things.

Damian skipped over to you and placed a hand on your stomach.

“I can feel the baby,” Damian said.

“Where’s my phone?” Jason shouted.

“In your back pocket,” Damian answered as he grabbed your hospital bag.

“What about my car keys?” Jason asked.

You chuckled. “On the counter by the toaster,”

Jason went running past the two of you. Damian shook his head and helped you over to the door. Jason came stumbling out of the room trying to pull on his shoes.

“The hospital bag,” Jason began.

“I already have it, let’s go,” Damian said.

Jason and Damian helped you down the steps. When you reached the bottom Jason left Damian with you as he went sprinting for his car. You leaned against the building and Damian held your hand.

“Does it hurt?” Damian asked.

“A little bit,” You answered truthfully.

Jason came flying down the road and pulled up in front of you. Damian helped you over to the car. When the two of you were barely in the car and buckled up, Jason pulled away from the curb and began speeding through town. Gotham Hospital was being rebuilt, but they had set up a smaller hospital not too far from where the new one was being built.

“What about Adam?” Damian suggested.

“No,” You and Jason together.

“Miles?” Damian said.

“No,” Jason growled as he cut somebody off.

“Damian Jr,” Damian said with a huge smile.

“We are not naming the baby Damian Jr,” You said calmly.

“Why not? It’s such a strong name,” Damian asked.

“No!” You and Jason shouted together.

Damian sat back with a huff. “You guys never let me have anything,”

You rolled your eyes as you took out your phone and sent out a group text to let everyone know that you were on the way to the hospital. Everyone pretty much replied right away that they would meet you guys there.

Damian under his breath was still arguing points on why Damian Jr was the right choice, but you and Jason just ignored his arguments and concentrated on getting to the hospital.

Labor was agonizing, you pretty much had kicked everyone out besides Jason. You gripped his hand tightly as another contraction moved its way through.

“Doll, you’re crushing my hand,” Jason complained.

You only squeezed harder.

“Come on doll, that’s my trigger hand,” Jason whined.

“Jay, I swear to God, if you don’t shut up, I’m going to shoot you with your own damn gun,” You hissed out.

“Doll chill,” Jason said and the nurse next to him sucked in a breath.

“YOU DID THIS TO ME! YOU ARE NEVER TOUCHING ME AGAIN, ASSHOLE!” You screamed through a contraction.

Jason’s face fell.

“Uh, I love you,” He whispered.

“Nice save,” The nurse said with a soft chuckle.

Out in the waiting room, empty chairs were filled with your friends and family. Bruce paced back and forth. He kept asking how long this could take and Selina kept having to remind him it could take a long time to deliver a baby. Tim, Dick, Damian, and Mariah were taking bets on fast Y/n would go through labor.

Finally the doors swung open and Jason stepped out. He was still dressed in his hospital gowns, but he was smiling ear to ear. He went straight to his dad.

“Are you ready to meet your grandson?” Jason asked.

Tears were already welling up in Bruce’s eyes.

“Yeah, I am,” He choked through the sobs.

“Then follow me,” Jason said.

Everyone trailed behind Jason and Bruce as they walked down the long hallway. Your room was on the very end. Quietly as they could everyone crept in and surrounded the bed. Jason took a seat next to you. You pulled down the blanket so everyone could see the baby.

“Oh my, he’s precious,” Selina cooed.

Dick clapped his dad on the back.

“You’re a grandpa!” Dick exclaimed a little too cheerily.

“And I’m going to have one less son if you don’t shut up,” Bruce hissed.

He may be excited to be a grandpa, but his sons have been ragging on him about being old and he wasn’t handling that too well.

“What’s wrong with being a grandpa? Is it because you couldn’t adopt this one?” Tim asked.

Mariah pinched his side to silence him.

“I’m too young for this,” Bruce sighed.

“Tell that to your gray hairs,” Dick pointed out.

“Alright boys, leave your father be,” Selina spoke.

“Sorry Selina,” The two apologized.

Selina pushed Bruce closer to your side of the bed. Jason helped transfer his son into his father’s arms.

“Thomas Kane Todd, this is your grandpa,” Jason said.

Bruce looked at his son, tears were threatening to fall.

“You named him after my parents?” Bruce asked.

Jason leaned against you.

“Without them, I wouldn’t have you, and without you I never would have met Y/n,” Jason said softly.

There wasn’t a single dry eye in the room. Selina curled in next to Bruce and they looked down at the beginning of the new generation. Selina wiped away his tears and kissed his temple. The future was literally in his arms and it never looked so good or worth it ever. Life was simply blissful and amazing.
