Chapter Text
Y/n’s phone rang loudly in the small Gotham city apartment. Both she and her bed partner groaned, not welcoming the morning intrusion. Once answering the phone, giving Alfred several very sleep ridden answers to his questions, and hanging up, she snuggled further into her partner’s arms.
“What’d Alfie want?” Jason’s sleepy groan reverberated through her body, his face pressed into her neck.
“Knowing the logistics for Levi’s birthday, you know how he is.” She chuckled, closing her eyes to attempt for a few more minutes of sleep.
“Mama!” The voice in the distance made both adults get up.
Y/n was the first one in the room, eyes landing on the little boy in the crib. His black hair was sticking out every which way, and his bedclothes were twisted around on his small chubby body. Bright blue eyes gazed back at her, tearing his hand away from rubbing his eyes to reach out for Y/n.
“Good Morning my love,” Whenever she was around Levi, she couldn’t help but smile at her baby boy. The past two years going by surprisingly fast.
“Mama!” He gave her a goofy smile as she lifted him into her arms.
Jason had already set up Levi’s highchair, a sippy cup full of apple juice sitting on it.
“Jason I thought we talked about putting his chair in front of the tv?” Y/n sighed, strapping the toddler into the chair.
“Hey man, he likes his shows! Let him watch his shows!” Jason laughed, bringing in a plate of fruit and a toaster waffle for Levi.
“Jay jay!” Levi grins with his little teeth and gives a wave to his favorite person.
“Hey, there little man!” Jason’s hand patted him on the head.
Jason ran back into the kitchen and emerged with another plate, this one nearly similar to the child’s plate, just not cut into bite-sized pieces.
“For my lady,” He gave a silly bow before getting his own plate. “Ah yes, my favorite part of the morning, eating off-brand food, having a beautiful girl in my arms, and watching Paw Patrol.”
“Dog!” Levi excitedly points at the tv, kicking his little legs.
Y/n was going in to take a bite when she heard the ring of her phone again.
“I’ll be back.” She rushed to the bedroom and answered the call.
“Hello?”
“Y/n”
“Oh, Bruce? This must be important since we’re supposed to see you in a few hours.”
“Dick’s back.”
“W-wait what?” she nearly dropped the phone at the sound of her ex-lover and baby daddy’s name.
“He came back from Bludhaven. He’s staying the next few days, if you want to postpone Levi’s birthday party to another day then just let me--”
“No,” a deep sigh came from her mouth. “It’s about time he met Levi. It is his child.”
A long silence filled the line.
“B is everything okay?”
“Yes, I’m just surprised.” He cleared his throat. “Should I tell him so that we avoid any drama when you get here or..?”
“Oh, sure. That would make it easier for us. Thank you, B.”
“Of course, stay safe.”
“Love you too B.”
She prepared herself for the conversation with Jason, the man who picked the pieces of her heart up after he left. When Dick not only left for Bludhaven, he left Y/n to be with Kori. Jason sat with her while she cried, and screamed, and cried. He was there with her when her world was shaken with the news of her pregnancy. He showed up to every appointment, held her when Dick ignored her texts, calls, and returned her letters. Jason was her rock and she was just hoping that he wouldn’t want to kill Dick when he saw him.
“Jay, can I talk to you?” She, sat beside him, laying a hand on his thigh.
“Of course baby girl, What’s up?” He laid a hand on the back of the couch.
“I don’t know how to say this, but Dick is in Gotham, at the Manor.”
“He’s back?” Jason’s eyes stared straight ahead, blank.
“I told Bruce that it’s about time he met Levi.”
“Dick’s back and is going to meet Levi tonight.” He blinked, not moving his gaze from a space on the wall behind her.
“We’re not going to start anything, okay love?” She pulled his hands into hers, placing small kisses on the tops of his.
Blue eyes finally focused on her face, softening at the sight of her. “Okay.”
Y/n picked Levi up from his highchair, bringing him to his room. The blue room was brightly lit by the open window, his crib placed to the opposite of the window. His first and middle name painted onto the wall, Levi James, along with pictures from when he was a newborn.
Levi attempted to fight with his mom when she put on his little black tee-shirt. He tried to run away when she sat him down to put on the jean-like pants and his little black vans. Luckily, Jason was ready when she finished dressing him. She handed the older man the hat and jacket because he was less likely to fight Jason.
Once all three were ready, they loaded up into Y/n’s car. Driving across town to the Manor. Levi sang along to whatever song was playing from Jason’s phone. Although it was more gibberish than actual words.
When arriving, Alfred welcomed them with open arms, smiling at the toddler’s cheers of “Alfie! Hi Alfie!”
“Papa!” He had yelled, running on his little legs to Bruce, who hugged him and smiled brightly at his grandson.
When Tim entered the room, Levi pointed his chubby finger at him from his place in Bruce’s arms. Tim gave hugs to Y/n and a fist bump to Jason, before stopping at Levi, ruffling his hair and chuckling at his nickname for him.
“T!”
“It’s Tim, Levi. Say, Tim.”
Damian was the next to join the group, stalking in with a scowl on his face, before grinning at his nephew and Y/n. Levi demanded to be let down at the sight of his favorite uncle. Damian scooped Levi up, swinging him around, laughing along with the toddler.
“Demon!” Levi tried his best to say ‘Damian’.
“Ha!” Jason pointed at his youngest brother, “Even a two-year-old knows that you're demon spawn.”
“Tell Jay to be quiet Levi.” Damian’s eyebrows creased and glared at Jason.
All the air in the room left when Richard Grayson walked in. He strode in with a confident demeanor. His smile froze. His body seized up. His ocean eyes were numb when they crossed Y/n’s.
In Dick Grayson’s eyes, she hadn’t changed one bit. She was just as radiant, beautiful, full of life as he remembered from two years ago. Y/n’s eyes were tired. From lack of sleep or the way life treated her, he didn’t know. She held herself high, with a blank expression on her face. Oh, how he missed the days where just a glance at him led her to smile, and nervously pulled her bottom lip between her teeth. How she sometimes would hide her flushed and heated face from him when he shamelessly flirted with her. How her eyes watered with joyful tears when he first said those three words. How she first felt curled up into his arms on a lazy winter Sunday morning. How she would grasp for his hand when they went anywhere. How she turned from him when he told her he wanted to end it. How he watched her eyes fill with unshed tears as she demanded that he get out of her sight.
“Y/n.” Dick took a small step forward.
“Dick, It’s been a while.” She gave him a tight-lipped smile.
He was going to step forward and continue their conversation when he caught a glimpse of the small boy being held by Damian.
The boy attempted to wave, really just waving around his hand wildly.
“Hi!” He grinned.
Dick’s eyes caught Y/n’s, and he rose his brow in a silent question. ‘Is he mine?’ He was met with a nod from her.
“Hey there buddy!” He leaned down, ruffling his hair. “What’s his name?”
“Levi”. Y/n answered, smiling at her baby boy.
“Levi Grayson huh? You’re a handsome young man. Happy birthday buddy!”
Jason hadn’t felt this way since he first became Robin, Since before he died. Jason Peter Todd was jealous of Dick Grayson once again. Suddenly he was young and trying to be as good as Dick, and he kept losing. Was Dick just going to waltz back into her life as if nothing happened? Was he going to replace Jason as her lover? Was he going to stay to keep Levi around him? Was he going to steal what Jason worked and prayed hard for?
No. No, he fucking won’t. I’ll fucking die again before I let him steal my happiness from me. Jason promised himself. His eyes held no softness for his elder brother. Dick would never know of the many nights that he stayed up with Y/n while she cried. He didn’t know how fucking scared she was when the test came back positive. He wasn’t the one at every doctor’s appointment. He wasn’t the one who was in the delivery room when Levi was born. Dick Grayson didn’t become whole when Levi entered the world. Jason Todd had stood by her side and when she finally trusted him enough to let him into her heart, he fell head over heels. Jason loved her with his entire heart. He saw Levi as his own son, even if not by blood, Jason was near the past two years and watched him grow. He loved Levi with his entire heart too.
All of this could wait until after Levi’s birthday party. Jason wouldn’t ruin his little boy’s day for anything.
Not even his inevitable battle with Dick.
