Dick woke up to see the sun shining on his face.He didn't have to check the date to know what date it was. His mom's birthday.

He still remembered her smile that was only reserved for him and his dad. He still remembered the absolute joy on their faces when they were on the trapeze.
Back when he was at the circus, his dad and Dick would  get up early and prepare breakfast for Mary. Then Dick would go out and find a rose to give to his mom. Together he and his dad would wake her up and present her the breakfast they made.

Dick hadn't realised he started crying until he felt the wetness on his face. He would be fine sitting in his room the whole day but he knew that his mom wouldn't have wanted that.

She would have wanted him to be happy, to go out and have a nice day.
So Dick decided to get dressed, he was going to make this a fun day for Bruce and his brothers.
He knew Bruce was free today and it was Saturday so no one would be going to school.

Dick got out of his room and just when he was starting to get down, he had an idea so instead of using the stairs like a normal person would, he slid off the banister.

When he arrived at the kitchen, he found his three brothers bickering and Bruce had a knowing look that even if he tried he couldn't stop them.

Dick knew he had to do something so he did the only logical thing he could think of: he got a microphone and yelled "stop!" Guys, could you just not fight today,please, for me?

There was a moment's silence and then all 3 of them nodded and started eating their breakfast with the occasional death threats and glares.

Dick had noticed this but he didn't comment on it.
"So,I thought that we could do some  fun activities as a family since everyone is free today."

"I demand you to tell me what useless torture you will have us endure today Grayson."

Dick looked hurt for a moment but quickly masked it and Damian saw it but he couldn't understand it, he hadn't said anything wrong after all.He decided to  think about it later.

"Well,I thought we could have a snowball fight and  watch some movies while eating some cookies and popcorn."

None of them had anything better to do so they all accepted it and got ready to go outside.

Once outside they split into 2 teams: Bruce and Tim vs Dick,Jason and Damian.

It was an interesting fight but they all enjoyed it nonetheless.

When they came inside Alfred gave each of them a cup of hot chocolate which they thanked him for.

"Master Dick, I have readied the ingredients for you, please be careful this time,I would be very pleased if the kitchen could stay in one piece."
"Sure thing Alfie, thanks a lot again."
"It was my pleasure young Master."

Alfred also knew what today was so he had accepted Dick's request withthout a second thought.

Jason,Tim and Damian were shocked and Tim finally asked what they were going to do and Dick told them they were going to bake cookies and make popcorn.
All 3 of the boys started to argue but shut up with a glare from Bruce.

That's how the 3 boys found themselves baking cookies and muttering curses under their breaths. They hadn't stopped bickering for once since breakfast.They had even bickered while having a snowball fight.

But they were too busy fughting that they hadn't seen Dick grimace each time they fought. And now because they were all moody they started insulting each other which turned out to a full blown food war between the 3 boys that is, until one of the pieces of dough landed on Dick's face.

Usually Dick would laugh it off but he had had just about enough and he finally yelled "Enough!"
All 3 of the boys were surprised since Dick never raised his voice to them.

"I just wanted this to be a nice day,I just wanted us to have some fun time as a family but I guess that's never happening. I thought you would understand the importance of today but once again,I was wrong.When have I ever behaved like this when it was important for you? When was I not there when you needed comfort? Even when I felt bad, I would put your needs first. But you, you couldn't stop fighting even for a few hours, even for me." By the end Dick was practically in tears. He didn't say anything else,he just went upstairs to his room.

"I can't believe you would do this to him on his mother's birthday. And even if it wasn't, he just wanted to have a nice day with all of us having fun but you just couldn't keep quiet could you? I'm very dissapointed in you boys. Oh and the reason he wanted to bake cookies was because he used to this with his mom and he wanted to share it with you too."

After he said that Bruce also left to who knows where.
Jason,Tim and Damian felt horrible. They had completely forgotten today. They were officially the worst brothers ever. But they were going to make it up to him. They were going to bake cookies for him and then ask for his forgiveness so they asked Bruce and Alfred both of who were more than happy to help.
After 3 trays of cookies burnt in the oven and another 3 burnt outside the oven which none of them understood how, they were finally able to get it right.  Now came the hard part. Jason,Tim and Damian grudgingly took the steps to Dick's room and after waiting for 5 minutes they all decided to knock at the same time earning a muffled come in.

Dick poked his head from under the covers and loomed at the new comers. Before he could say anything all three of his brothers started apologizing at the same time and showing him the cookies they made .

Dick was surprised to say the least but he was touched that his brothers put their differences aside for him.
In the end they had a nice movie night and ended up sleeping on the couches...
