Leaving Part Five

A/N: Next part of leaving! Two parts out in less than a week too. This one is lots of fluff and batfamily. Like tooth rotting fluff. This one isn’t as long as the other parts. There will be two to three more parts left. As always, let me know if you want to be tagged in this series.

Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four

One thing Jason had been doing was avoiding telling his family. He did not want to deal with their reaction. Yet at the same time, he wanted Rose to meet them. No doubt they would eventually come to love her and most likely spoil her.

He decided to call the one person he trusted most first: Alfred. Roy gave him space that night. Jason went onto the fire escape and called the number he knew by heart.

“Wayne Manor, Alfred speaking.” Came the butlers familiar voice.

“Hello Alfie, it’s Jason.”

“Evening Master Jason. I hope you have a good reason for not keeping contact for over a month.”

“I do, ummm are you the only one around.”

“Yes sir.”

“Okay you might need to sit down.”

“Is something the matter Master Todd?”

“Do you remember Y/N? From when I was robin and would bring her cookies.”

“Ah yes. Lovely girl. What ever happened to her.”

“It is kind of a long story, but I ran into after I came back as Red Hood.We got together, I got stupid and left. Turns out we had a kid together. She is three and her name is Rose Todd.”

The other end remained silent. Jason was worried. Silence was never good.”

“Alfred? Alfred?” More silence.

Finally a response.

“I am here Master Jason. Did I hear you correctly.”

“Yes I have a daughter. Hold on I can send you a picture. Do you have your cell near you? There just sent it. Did you get it?”

“Yes sir.” Alfred replied. “She looks like you. Now you better not be asking me to tell Master Bruce.”

“Kind of hoping you would.”

“I believe this will be one that you will tell him yourself.”

Jason huffed. The rest of the time was spent talking about Rose and best way to break it to the family. Alfred knew Jason would be one to tell Bruce and then leave, avoiding any response. Soon Alfred heard the batmobile and advise Jason to do it soon.

Jason left Star City for the first time in a month to go talk to his family. It killed him to leave Rose, but he promised her that he would be back. Y/N shook her head and said he better be. He promised to call her and let her know when to come to Gotham. Part of him was hoping she would move back so he could see Rose more.

It was about patrol time when Jason arrived at the manor. Alfred greeted him at the door with a giant hug. As promised, Jason gave him a picture of Rose and her mother. After a brief catch up, they headed towards the cave.

“Lucky for you sir, the whole family is present.” Alfred said while heading towards the grandfather clock.

“And want to know where I get my sass from.”

Alfred gestured towards the stairs. Jason mumbled under his breath about going to his second funeral. A look from Alfred shut him up.

Jason never thought the cave intimating until now. Everyone was gathered around the batcomputer. It wasn’t even an Arkham breakout. Fate was not his friend yet again. His strategy of telling one and letting the rumor mill do the rest was out of the picture. He still was thinking of plan when Dick noticed him.

“Little Wing! Why didn’t you say you were coming.” Dick yelled while almost skipping towards him.

“Maybe I was busy.”

“Todd you have been gone for a month. How can a mission take that long?” Damian asked.

“I had to deal with something after the mission. Which reminds me, B do you have to be anywhere oh next month?”

Bruce raised his head from the computer console. His cowl was still down as his blue eyes stared back at Jason. Jason would never admit it, but Bruce scared him more than Batman did. Maybe it was the fact it was Batman versus the man he hoped to not disappoint.

“Is there something up you need help with.” He asked.

Jason stood there thinking the best way to say it. His whole family stared at him.

“Oh well my friend Y/N is coming back to Gotham. You never meet her, but I think you might have known her existence. Alfred did.”

Bruce raised an eyebrow as he did know of Jason’s friend from back when he was Robin. The rest kept staring as Jason rambled on since they didn’t know where it was going.

“So she is coming in town along with her daughter. They want to meet you cause her daughter is actually my daughter and well your a grandpa” Jason rushed through the last part and then ran towards the stairs before anyone could make a comment.

He went to one of his safe houses that none of the bats known about. He called up Y/N and told her how it went down. He could already tell she was rolling her eyes in the background. Right as he was about to hang up, Rose woke up so he talked to her for a bit.

He finally hung up right as a bat came into the room. Neither said anything for a long time. Finally Bruce spoke up.

“Alfred will get two rooms ready.” He then turned to leave.

“That is it.” Jason said. He had prepared himself for anything but this.

“You going to take care of the girl.” He asked.

“Yes.”

“You prepared to be a father.”

“No but I am going to try my hardest.”

“Start by a safer place for her to live.” He then left out the window.

Jason huffed and complained that no way he was letting his daughter live in the Narrows. His thoughts were soon interrupted when bats kept dropping in and asking too many questions.

A week later Y/N and Rose came to Gotham. Jason could tell she was a little hesitant to come back after all the bad memories. He hoped that good new memories could replace those. There was nursing college she planned to apply to here. If she could get in, it would make life easier for Rose.

Alfred offered to pick them up with Jason. Really the butler wanted to meet the girls first. Rose went jumping into Jason’s arms once she saw him. Alfred offered to take Y/N’s suitcase. After so many it was nice to finally meet the girl Jason use to talk about. Hearing Rose yell daddy made Alfred’s heart melt a little. He also couldn’t deny seeing the look in Y/N’s eyes when she thought Jason wasn’t looking.

Upon seeing the manor, Rose called it a castle. Jason made a joke that there was even a knight guarding it. Y//N node his shoulder but he saw Alfred have a small chuckle. The little girl went running up the stairs with Jason not far behind. Y/N stayed back with Alfred. She would never admit it out loud, but she was nervous. Not only will she meet the Waynes, but she had to fight the feelings Jason was bringing back up.

Through the windows, all of the Waynes minus Bruce was, were peeping. They weren’t prepared for the almost four year old bundle of energy that was Rose Todd. She came through the door and started talking at once. It caught everyone off guard.

Jason introduced everyone to Rose. Right about the time he was done, Y/N silently came into the manor. Everything overwhelmed her. Jason use to talk about the place, but no description could do it justice. It was a far cry from the tiny apartment she and Rose had been living in.

The rest of the day was spent playing with Rose. She fell in love with the garden and managed to rope everyone into playing hide and seek. Damian said it was childish, but Tim challenged him that he would be found first.

Y/N hung back near Jason or Alfred the whole time. She was happy that Rose was getting along with her family, but she felt out of place. It felt like everyone was judging her.

“They aren’t” Bruce said while sneaking up behind her. She jumped once he spoke.

“Do you always sneak up on people? Never mind don’t answer that question.” She said while turning her attention back to the group. Cass had teamed up with Rose to find everyone. They were making their way towards Dick who was up a tree. Duke was silently laughing from a bush he hide behind.

“She is very chatty.” Bruce remarked.

“Well she does take after her father. He use to never shut up.” She replied.

“I remember.” He said as he watched Rose jump on Dick after Cass knocked him out of the tree.

“He said you were looking into nursing college.”

“it’s an idea. There is a good one here in Gotham that also offers a daycare. Have to take some night classes first though to get caught up. Need to get in first too.”

“We are always here to help.” Bruce said while turning to look at her.

“Just be there for your granddaughter is all I ask.”

Jason heard them and laughed so hard that Rose found him.

“You’re a grandpa” He wheezed out.

The rest of the day was spent with everyone making fun of Bruce being a grandpa and Rose getting them all wrapped around her finger. She even got away with only two spoonfuls of vegetables. The rest of the family called out favorites to Alfred. He would never let them leave until they ate all their food as children.

Soon it was time for bed for the little girl. She was sleeping in the room between Jason and Y/N. When she asked if Mommy brought a book, Y/N’s face went blank. She knew she forgot something. Luckily the library at the manor had some old picture books.

It took a while for her to pick one picture book for bed. It surprised Jason just how many picture books where in the manor. He snuck a look at the inside cover to find Bruce’s name written in scribble. He would make a point to show the rest of the family it later.

Damian came in to help assist Rose find a book. He complained on the selection telling Rose that they would change that later. No doubt he was already planning on taking her to a bookstore later on. Jason reminded Damian that not all kids want to read about Alexander the Great. Rose pipped up and said she wanted to. Her curiosity was as strong as any little kid. A giant smile of satisfactions made it’s way onto Damian’s face.

After Rose was asleep they went to talk to Bruce. He insisted upon Y/N using an extra townhouse to live until they figured things out. He originally suggested the manor, but both her and Jason shoot that down. She also said she was paying rent no matter what the bat had to say.

Later everyone left for patrol minus Jason. He wanted to stay the night at the manor in case Rose didn’t feel comfortable in a new environment. Bruce had a small smile as he went down to cave. He was proud Jason was stepping up to be a father.

Y/N couldn’t sleep that night. The place was too silently. She was use to car horns, people yelling, and police sirens. The smallest noise seemed to echo in the giant area. It didn’t help the room was bigger than her apartment.

The door opening caused her to open. Jason peeked his head around.

“Sorry doll, it is just me. This place takes getting use to.” He said. He came walking in wearing sweatpants only.

“How did you get use to this place?” She said.

“You really don’t or at least I didn’t. I was here too long though. Bruce lived here his whole life, so he is use to it.”

“I bet anything else feels too tiny for him.” She said while moving up on the bed to make room for him. “I am happy they all love Rose.”

“Who wouldn’t?” He said while leaning against her legs. For a bit it felt like they were kids again.

They talked for the rest of the night on plans. Y/N would never admit it but it was good to be back in Gotham. It would always be her home. Being here and talking to Jason felt so normal. He gave her updates on everything that had changed in the city since she left. Conversation turned to finding a daycare for Rose and eventually a school. The two eventually ended up laying down on the bed next to each other.

“Will you stay with us for a bit.” She finally asked. The silence that stretched after the question felt like a lifetime.

“I would love that.” He said while laying down next to her. Both feel asleep there for the night.
