Chapter Text
Jason was in an intense stare down his opponent sat on the table 3 feet in front of him. The stare broke when the opponent clapped their pudgy hands together.
The baby who couldn’t of been more than 7 months old had arrived less than 30 minutes ago. He had been awoken from his sleep when a knock came to the front door of his run down apartment. He stumbled to the door cursing under his breath but was immediately woken up when he opened the door to reveal a baby sitting in a car seat and nobody else around, with a note that said “I don’t want it anymore, it’s your problem now” Which lead him to where he was now the baby still in the car seat as he tried to figure out what was going on
Another knock came, and Jason sighed in relief rushing to the door
“It’s about time” Jason spoke, opening the door for his sister Cassandra to come inside.
Cassandra rolled her eyes “You know what morning traffic is like in Gotham”
Jason didn’t respond
“So what is this emergency that I had to rush over here for?” She asked moving further into the dinky apartment. She glanced around. “Ya know you’ve lived here for a year, you can buy more frunitire then a twin mattress, a tv and a single recliner.” She pointed
“I’ve invested in a small table and 2 chairs” he pointed “which leads me to the emergency” he waved leading her into the kitchen.
Once she was in the kitchen she glanced around her eyes falling to the car seat still sitting on the table “Who is that?” She asked
Jason shrugged “Hell if I know, I opened the door this morning and it was sitting there”
Cassandra furrowed her eyebrows “It? You mean you haven’t checked”
Jason shook his head “No way, but it is smelly—I was hoping you’d come take care of it”
Cassandra tilted her head “So you see boobs and automatically think I know what to do?”
Jason shrugged, the baby began to cry
Cassandra let out a sigh “I’ll change it but only because I feel bad for the poor thing sitting in its own mess. Did they leave diapers?”
Jason nodded “Just three” he grabbed one. He watched as Cassandra lifted the baby from the car seat. “Whoever left you didn’t even have the decency to put clothes on you huh?” She spoke in a soft voice to the infant
He handed her the diaper and watched her walk away toward the bathroom. A few minutes later she returned
“Congrats brother you have a baby girl” she smirked handing the infant to him
Jason looked at the blonde haired, brown eyed baby girl in his arms “She’s not mine.”
“Are you sure?” She set her hand on her hip
Jason nodded “I mean I don’t think she’s mine, we look nothing alike” he pointed
Cassandra nodded “But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t look like her mother”
Jason thought for a moment, trying to think back but it would’ve been over a year ago and his memory was fuzzy, that was during the days he got black out drunk with roy every weekend.
He saw that Cassandra was putting her coat back on “You’re not leaving”
Cassandra nodded “I have things I need to get done”
“Then take her with you” he held the baby out toward her
Cassandra shook her head “No can do brother. “
“Cass” he pleaded
But she ignored him giving one final wave before walking out the door.
After another stressful 45 minutes the phone rang not bothering to see who it was he picked up
“Hello” he mumbled into the phone since the baby was trying to stick her hand in his mouth
“ Hey Jay what’s up?” Came an all too chipper response from the other end.
Jason sighed “Cut the crap Dick I know Cass told you “
“Yeah she did, look Wally, Roy and I are meeting at the park in 30 minutes for our weekly Dudes group if you’d like to join in” Dick spoke
Jason shook his head “I’m not going to your male support group”
Dick chuckled on the other end “ It’s not a support group, it’s dudes group just a couple of dads who get together every week with their kids and catch up while their kids play”
“I’m not a dad” Jason rebutted
“ You kinda are at least until the weekends over and Child Services opens back up” Dick paused “Look Cass said you have absolutely nothing for the little girl. I have outfits that won’t fit my daughter for a couple more months but will probably fit the girl. Just meet me so you can at least put clothes on the poor kid”
Jason sighed “Fine I’ll meet you there with Lucy in 20 minutes”
“Lucy?” He could hear Grayson say as he hung up the phone.
The baby who he had began calling Lucy looked at him “Don’t look at me like that”
He brought her into his room and set her down on his bed so he could change “The only reason I’m not calling the cops is cause one I don’t like cops” he slipped his sweats off and put on a pair of jeans “and two” he said as he took off his white tank top “CPS is closed for the weekend, if I call the cops today they’ll put you into a group home till Monday” he put on a burgundy t shirt “So here’s to hoping that when I take you to CPS Monday they find you a good foster family family” he scooped up the baby
Jason pulled his motorcycle up to the park where Wally, Dick and Roy all seemed to just be arriving. Wally was fumbling with the double stroller while his 3 year old twins shouted from their car seats.
Roy was helping 5 year old Lian out of the car and Dick was strapping his 3 year old son into the double stroller. Beside him was his 4 month old baby sister.
When Dicks eyes landed on his brother they immediately widened
“Jay what are you doing!” He said going straight toward the car seat that was strapped to his bike
Jason shrugged “What it’s secure, besides I don’t have any other transportation “
“You could have called me I would have picked you up. Do you realize how illegal and dangerous this is?” Dick emphasized
Jason rolled his eyes “Yes Officer Grayson”
“There’s also a Bus stop literally right in front of your apartment complex”Wally grunted as he continued to fight the large stroller
“Dude even I know that was a bad idea” Roy pointed
Jason let out a sigh “Look she got here safe so I did something right...right? “ He picked the baby up out of the car seat
“Here let me get you some clothes for her” Dick waved for Jason to follow him to his car.
Jason stood holding Lucy while Dick popped open the trunk
“Uncle Jay” came the little voice of his nephew
“Yeah kid?” Jason directed his attention down toward his nephew in the stroller
Nathan Wayne Grayson, the first “procreation” of any of the Batfamily members (besides Damian). There was absolutely no denying he was Dicks son with his dark locks, sun kissed skin and crystal blue eyes.
“Are you a Daddy?” The 3 year old tilted his head
Quickly Jason shook his head “No I’m not a daddy” he handed the baby off to Dick to put her in clothes
“Oh really? Then why do you have a baby!” A light voice piped up from behind him. Jason looked over his shoulder to see Lian holding Roys hand
Jason shook his head “Just cause I’m holding a baby doesn’t mean I’m a dad” he barked back
“And we are clothed, doesn’t that feel better Lucy?” Dick smiled at the baby girl before handing her back to Jason
Jason looked at the onesie he had put on the baby and scrunched up his eyebrows
“Hey I bought you guys this onesie”
Dick nodded “Yeah and it says “ Proof my dad can’t pull out” which is why Babs had no problem getting rid of it”
Roy chuckled “I think it’s funny”
Dick rolled his eyes “Let’s just start the walk, here Jay I brought an extra stroller for you” he popped open an umbrella stroller seemingly pulling it out of nowhere
Jason nodded setting Lucy in the blue stroller. When he stood back up he noticed the guys staring at him “What?”
“Aren’t you going to strap her in?” Wally asked
Jason shook his head “She can’t walk”
“She can still roll out and get hurt” Dick said bending down and buckling the
4 point harness
“Damn it’s like we’re taking them on a rocket ship or something” Jason mumbled
Lian gasped “Daddy uncle Jay said a bad word” she waved a finger
Wally’s son began to giggle “Damn! Damn! damn!!” He kicked his little feet
“We also have to try and limit cursing, they repeat everything” Wally added covering his sons mouth
They began their walk to the park which was only about a mile. Jason watched as Roy held Lian’s hand and listened as she pointed out different things she saw.
Wally’s twins were fighting over who was going to play with the ball first and Dicks son was going on about the leaves changing color, Leah his 4 month old daughter was still fast asleep.
They approached the park stopping at a bench near the slides.
“So what now they just run around?” Jason asked
Wally nodded as he unstrapped the twins from their restraints.
“They run off all their energy then we bring them back exhausted and ready for naps” Dick smiled picking up his son
Roy shook his head “It still blows my mind how much that kid looks like you and acts like you”
Dick shook his head “He May look like me but he acts like Barbara” he said setting Nathan down
A grin formed on Nathan’s face when his eyes landed on Wally’s daughter “Who wants a kiss?” He said in a teasing tone
The little girl let out a squeal and ran away Nathan followed close behind with Wally’s son chasing after them
Lian released Roy’s hand and ran off to join some other girls her age in a game of hopscotch
The three other men turned to look at Dick tilting their heads to the side.
Dick shook his head “That was a coincidence” he defended
“The fact that Dickies kid looks just like him is further proof that this ain’t my kid” Jason emphasized
Wally shook his head “Not always true look at my kids” he pointed
“They have blonde hair like my wife”
Jason shook his head “But they have green eyes like you, and the girls a speedster”
“Leah has Red hair like Babs “ Dick said setting the small baby on his shoulder
“And you’re baby blues” Jason pointed again
Dick smiled “Yeah Babs is so happy they both have my eyes” He fluttered his eyelashes “I was kinda pulling for her to have Babs piercing Green eyes”
Roy shook his head “If you hang with us you’ll learn he looks for any excuse to talk about Gordon”
“Gordon-Grayson ” Dick corrected
“See” Roy nudged him
Jason shook his head “I’m not going to be hanging with you, the kid isn’t staying” as the words left his mouth Lucy began to cry
“What’s wrong with her now?” Jason groaned
Roy shrugged “Did you check the big 3?”
“Big 3?” Jason asked holding Lucy who was now crying louder
Wally nodded “Dirty,Sleepy or Hungry”
Hesitantly he checked the babies diaper “She’s not smelly, and she slept on the way here” he pointed
Dick nodded “I was just getting ready to feed Leah, Babs always packs extra breast milk I can give you some for her”
Jason shook his head “I’m not going to risk Barbie’s boob juice touching me”
Dick shook his head “Jay it’s natural and full of nutrients. “
He held out the bottle to him
Jason rolled his eyes “Fine I’ll feed it to her but only cause I want her to shut up and for you to stop talking” he watched how Dick cradled Leah in his arms and stuck the bottle in her mouth then mimicked his actions.
Wally and Roy watched him “So you aren’t attached yet?” Wally asked
Jason looked up at them “No of course not”
Roy chuckled “Then why did you name her?”
Jason shrugged “I didn’t want to just call her baby all weekend”
“You do realize Monday is a holiday right?” Dick added
Jason’s eyes widened “You mean imma have this kid til Tuesday”
Dick nodded “Looks like it”
Jason groaned ”I need a cigarette, can you watch the kid while run to the gas station”
The guys nodded with Roy taking Lucy from Jason as he walked off
“He’s going to come back....right?” Wally asked with no response from either of the other guys.
