Bonus Chapter: Big News

                                    

                                          
((Emma's POV)) 
                          
"Hi mom." I chirped into the receiver earning a small laugh. 
                          
"Emma! How are you sweetie? We haven't talked in awhile." 
                          
"I know and I'm sorry about that. It's been... hectic lately." I stated glancing over at Dick, who was watching and listening intently.
                          
"I understand honey I'm just glad to know your alive!" 
                          
I laughed a little and swallowed the lump forming in my throat. "So uh... How's Henri? You two are still together right? He was the first boyfriend of yours I actually liked." 
                          
"We are still together and he'll be happy to hear that." 
                          
"Good, good..." 
                          
"Is there something on your mind?" She asked, her voice becoming concerned. "Are you and Richard having problems? What did he do to you?"
                          
"No, no he didn't do anything! Dick and I are fine." His eyes narrowed in question but I waved my hand dismissing it. 
                          
"Oh... well then what's wrong?" 
                          
"Nothing's wrong mom." 
                          
"Well there has to be something!" 
                          
I sat up straighter, slightly offended, "Why does there have to be something? Why can't I just call my mother!?" 
                          
"Because I know you Emma. Majority of the time there's something."
                          
"Just tell her already." Dick said stopping me from trying to defend myself. 
                          
"Fine." I sighed. I could tell my mother perked up on the other end and I took a breath. "There is actually something... I'm pregnant..." 
                          
The line was silent and I shot Dick a nervous look. 
                          
"I'm sorry... did you just say you were pregnant?" 
                          
"Yes."
                          
Silence again. 
                          
"Mom?" 
                          
"So what your saying is, I'm going to be a grandma?" Her voice got softer and I smiled. 
                          
"Yeah. Your going to be a grandma." 
                          
"Oh..." I heard her sniffle. 
                          
"Are you crying?"
                          
"Of course I am! I'm going to be a grandma!!!" She laughed. "That's great news!! I mean I should probably be yelling at you cause your too young to have a baby but! I don't really care! I'm going to be a grandma!!!" 
                          
"I'm glad your excited mom, but I've gotta go. We've got to tell the rest of the family." 
                          
"Oh! Okay!! I can't wait to tell the people at the gallery!" 
                          
"Bye mom." 
                          
"Bye baby!"
                          
I hung up the phone and sighed. Dick sat down next to me on the couch and wrapped an arm around me, "Well from what I heard that went well." 
                          
"She's ecstatic." 
                          
"Well that's better then furious." 
                          
"Yeah... speaking of furious, we have to go tell Bruce."

I rolled my shoulders back as I stared up at the large oak door looming over us, "You know it's getting pretty late maybe we should just head back." I said turning to run back down the steps.
