"Hello, Father."
At those words Bruce could only stare. Those eyes. He hasn't seen them for 5 years, ever since he made the mistake of not trusting what his son had said. The mistake of not having proof before accusing someone. He couldn't move. What was he supposed to say? He has imagined this scene more than once, but which one is right? What if-
His thoughts were cut off by Damian who decided to walk forward and give him a hug.
"Stop overthinking, Father," he said, "I can hear your thoughts."
Bruce looked at his son who was now his height and finally hugged him back.
"I'm so sorry, Damian," he said, "We know the truth now, I'm so very sorry.
Damian hummed. "I missed you..." the younger confessed in a soft voice, "I forgive you."
Marinette looked at her husband's brothers and gave them a look that said "Well? What are you waiting for? Join them idiots."
That was all they needed to join in on the hug. Dick cried loudest, Tim, Jason, and Bruce had tears pooling in their eyes which soon ran down their faces.
After a good couple of minutes, they pulled away and wiped their tears.
"I'd like you all to actually meet my wife," Damian said, pulling his wife over.
"Marinette Wayne," she said taking off her mask, "formerly Dupain-Cheng."
Bruce nodded, "Thank you for being there for my son."
"It isn't me you should thank for that," Marinette said humorously, "Goodness knows we still owe Marianne, bless her heart. I don't know where we would've stayed had it not been for her."
Damian chuckled, "You should meet her sometimes, Father, she has a habit of picking up strays just like you."
The group shared a good laugh, a sense of relief washing over the Wayne family.
They were glad to have Damian back, moreover they were glad that he forgave them.

"Come on, Mama! Grandpere is waiting!" little five year old Cairo Wayne said to his mother. They were planning on going to his grandfather's today, and he was very impatient. "I'm coming! I'm coming!" Marinette said as she ran down the stairs of their mansion and entered the car where her husband and son were waiting.
They drove for around 30 minutes and soon enough they pulled up to the famous Wayne Manor. Cairo quickly open the car door and run towards his grandfather who was waiting at the door.
"Grandpere!" he exclaimed, "Do you like new shirt? I helped Maman design it!"
"It looks wonderful little one," Bruce praised his grandson lifting him off the floor, despite the fact that he does not want to admit that he is old.
"Hi Dad," Damian and Marinette greeted, never in a million years did he thought someone would call him dad, yet here he is.
"Baby Bird! Little Bug! You're here!" Dick shouted as he ran down the stairs towards the front door. His energy, enthusiasm, and charisma never seemed to leave him. Kor'i followed behind him and so did Mar'i.
"Mar'i!" Cairo greeted his older cousin as he wiggled out of Bruce's hold.
"Hi Cairo! You wanna play?" the ten year old half Tamaran asked.
"Yes!" Cairo replied, "Race you to the garden! No powers this time!"
"Alright," Mar'i said, "On three. One... Two... Three!"
They both ran towards the garden, leaving the adults in the room. Jason and Tim had joined them shortly after they hears Dick's scream.
They all laughed as they walked towards the living room, happily talking with one another.
Damian and Marinette were very happy that they decide to accept the invitation. Had they not, they wouldn't be living this life right now.
