Chapter Text
Slade will only admit to himself that his little bird was the only one who could truly surprise him.
Slade stood in the doorway of the bedroom, arms crossed over his chest loosely as he leaned against the door frame, a soft smile on his face, watching the occupants of the room cuddle in the large nest.
When his little bird had requested him to come over, he expected maybe dinner, a movie, and maybe some cozy time in bed, or even help with a case. What he didn’t expect was for the whole place to smell like happy, happy, my puppy, love love love Omega, and Mama, want mom, happy, love me your puppy.
After standing there for a few moments, just watching the two of them on the bed, Dick noticed him and sat up on his elbows, looking over at his mate with a dopey smile and a hearty purr, he motioned Slade to join them before a needy chirp made Dick look back down and move back to cuddle the pup.
Huffing a laugh Slade moved over to the edge of the nest, looking over at the pup who was smiling at his mother with heavy-lidded eyes and a steady stream of purrs, his hair a mess and his scent showing nothing but the happiness of a puppy getting their mother's undivided attention.
As soon as Slade's hand came in contact with the nest the pup's eyes snapped to him, narrowed though dilated with his more than likely heightened hormone levels, but after a moment Damian relaxed back into the bed. His purring didn't return but his small smile did, it was probably the most acceptance he was going to get from the hormone-drunk pup.
"Mate." Dick purred, leaning down to scent the boy, all the while keeping eye contact with Slade. Slade looked over at Dick with a questioning stare as he got comfortable in the nest, raising a brow as he watched Damian close his eyes and grin at the feeling of having Dick so close by.
“Pup haze?” Slade guessed watching the puppy squirm a little but staying pliant under Dick’s touch.
Dick nodded, leaning down to kiss his puppy’s nose.” Mhm… He called me Mom.” Dick’s face broke into a grin as he moved his eyes to look at his puppy for a moment more as his purring became even louder, making Damian silently giggle and push his face closer to his mother’s chest as his purring picked back up again.
Slade felt his amusement double as he watched the dou. He could tell that both of them were on a hormone high and neither of them was able to think very straight.
Damian huffed slightly feeling Mom move away again to talk to Alpha, he’s sure whatever they were talking about was important but not as important as him! He was being ignored for talking!
Pouting he made another small whine, reaching up and tugging on Mom’s shirt. It made Mom smile down at him and kiss his head, but that’s all he did before he went back to talking to Alpha.
Damian huffed again, squirming on the bed a bit before turning and glaring at Alpha. This was his Mom! Alpha could wait forever for all Damian cared! Mom was his!”
Slade couldn’t help but laugh when they were interrupted again by the needy pup, this time by a high squeaky growl. Glancing down at the boy, he found himself smirking at the narrowed dilated eyes and angry pout the boy had on.
“He is gone with the wind hu?” Slade glanced at his little bird for a second before he looked back to the hazy pup and slowly extended his hand letting the boy pick if he wanted Slade to scent him or not.
Yup,” Dick sighed exasperatedly. “Won’t let me out of bed for food or nothing, Had to nip him to go to the bathroom.” raising his brow at the pup who had turned on his back to look at his mother again, smiling like there was nothing better in the world than having Mom’s eyes on him. Dick just grinned back and tilted his head at the puppy before kissing his nose once more.
The pup giggled before making a very soft chirp and burrowed backward into Mom, eyeing the hand that lay outstretched towards him. Alpha didn’t smell bad... but Damian still technically had Father as his Alpha… It was confusing. He had his Father but then he also had Mom’s Mate which technically would be his Alpha as well.
But could he have two Alphas? Kinda like he now had a Mother and a Mom. Maybe he could have a Father and a Dad…?
No, he couldn’t see himself calling Wilson Dad, but maybe he could just be his ‘Wilson’ or Alpha the second. Damian couldn’t help but giggle softly at that. Everything still felt silly to him, fuzzy and cloudy but he found he didn’t mind it. Not with Mom and Alpha making sure he was safe.
Slade was a good Alpha like that, making sure they were safe. Damian smiled turning his face slightly into the bed, making up his mind.
Two Alpha’s sounded better than one.
He wasn’t sure when he closed his eyes but he could sense that Alpha’s hand was still near, so he reached out blindly for it, chirping happily when he was able to wrap his hand around Alpha’s wrist, he wasted no time tugging said wrist till he could rest it on his neck, letting Alpha scent him.
Dick was grinning as he watched his puppy sluggishly move Slade’s wrist against his neck, helping his mate scent mark the pup, as his.
Slade huffed amusedly as he helped move his wrist around, “I’m assuming I’ve been accepted?” He said with only slight sarcasm, He glanced up at Dick who in turn just laughed in agreement.
Damian, (Who had no clue why mom was laughing but it sounded nice) giggled silently again, the hand that was holding Alpha’s coming to rest on the bed, keeping the man close.
Slade couldn’t help but smile softly at the pup. It had been quite some time since he had any pups in a nest that wanted him to scent mark them. It was… nice. Nice to have a mate and a pup again.
Moving closer so he could properly cage Damian between himself and Dick, he allowed the pup to cuddle into him, the pup once again purring loudly, enjoying being caged in by his Alpha and Mom.
Slade looked up at Dick, who in turn was staring at him with lidded eyes, a soft but bright smile gracing his lips. “We have a puppy, Alpha,” he whispered.
Slade hummed in agreement, enjoying the quiet atmosphere around them. “We do,” he said softly back.
Dick closed his eyes and nuzzled his puppy once more, ready to nap with his little family.
Today is a great day, Dick decided.
And it was.
