Barbra P.O.V.

It felt like I was waking up from a really bad dream. I opened my eyes and took in my surrounding. I was in the hospital wearing a patient's gown and connected to several things. Hen I saw the dark hair resting next to me.

It was Bruce, his raven black hair disturbed o it's usually neat state. He looked so peaceful as he slept but ever so often his brows will knit together and he'll mumbled something in his sleep.

Trying not to disturb him, I slowly pushed myself up by he elbows. I failed miserably and Bruce stirred then lift his head. He noticed that I was awake and immediately moved closer.

"Barbra,"he breathed as he took my hand and pressed his forehead to mine.

I smiled softly and cupped the back of his neck with my free hand, simply just looking into his beautiful eyes. We sat there in silence just appreciating the presence of one another.

"I'm so sorry... it's all my fault..." he said after a while whilst closing his eyes. Everything came back to me but I didn't have the tears to cry more.

"No it isn't," I refused to let him blame himself and it took him a lot of convincing to believe it.

Then we arrived at the subject I both dreaded and needed.

"The doctor said that no damaged had been done to..." he couldn't finish the sentence but he didn't have to.

"Bruce, I-"

"You're awake!" All four the bat boys came barging into his room. I didn't get the chance to talk to Bruce again because he had excused himself and I was left with the boys.

"I brought you some of Alfred's cookies," offered Damien. He held the container out with a soft smile which I returned.

"Thank you, Damien."

"I did plan on bringing alcohol but since you're pregnant... it won't be a wise choice," said Jason with a smirk.

Tim hit him over the head,"Dude! Not cool! We don't know if she plans on keeping it."

My throat went dry and I risked a glance at Dick who has been quiet all through the chatter and avoiding my eyes. A little while later Damien, Tim and Jason all made excuses to leave, leaving me alone with Dick Grayson.

"I'm grateful to see that you are okay," he finally looked at me.

"Dick I-" I wanted to explain. Apologize to him but I don't know how.

"I came to apologize f.for everything I said and did..." he hung his head in shame,"I hope you can forgive me..."

Grabbing his hand, I pulled him closer into a hug,"Oh, Dick, I just want my friend back."

He sighed in relief and tightened the hug before pulling away and giving me a sly smile,"So... thought of any names yet?"

I smacked him on his shoulder making us both laugh.
