Wayne II

9

"Angel?" I hear Damian's voice ring through the apartment.
"In the kitchen." I yell out.
He comes in with a dozen white roses in his hand. I look at him in awe.
He looks around to see my whole family except my dad in the kitchen with me.
"If you would have told me your mother and aunt were going to be here I would have brought them some too." He proceeds to open the bouquet of roses he give four to both of them. He is so thoughtful. My mom and my aunt both thank him. He comes over to me and gives me a kiss on the lips and gives me the last four roses. I smile and thank him. I can feel my cheeks reddened by his small gesture in front of my family. He embraces my uncles into a side hug and I smile. "What is everyone doing here?" He asks grabbing a water bottle out of the fridge. He offers one to everyone but only my uncle Arthur accepts.
"Lucy here called a family meeting." Joker says gesturing towards me.
"Where's Mr.Wayne?"
"It's about him and Lia." My uncle victor says. Damian finally understood.
"I'm going to go change." He says walking into the room. I turn around and put some frozen pizza's in the oven. I hear someone walk behind me. I immediately smell the cologne it's my uncle kal. I turn to face him. "Yes?" I smile.
"I have to tell you something important that happened yesterday."
"Okayy, just let me finish putting the pizza's in the oven and set it up and I'll be right there." I smile, he nods and walks towards the family.
Damian walks in and grabs a tub and puts ice in it placing two bottles of wine in there. He goes behind me to reach for a towel to place under the bucket and places a kiss on my shoulder as he passes behind me. I set up the oven and turn to face the family. Everyone is chatting to one another, laughing even. Damian comes to my side and pulls me into a hug. His eyes follow mine and look over to what I was seeing.
"Does this make you happy?" He asks as I rest my head on his chest. I sighed and smiled and nod. I just take a mental screenshot wanting to capture this moment that I knew a camera couldn't. I love how my family put their differences aside to make me happy; to make me feel comfortable.
Or they're scared of me.
Either way I'm so thankful that they are at least trying to get along. Ending their rivalry that been going on for more than 23 years. All for me, all because of me.
My uncle kal looks over to Damian and I and opens his arm up for me to hug him. Basically so I can join the conversation they're having. I go into his side hug and he pulls me in closely. Everyone is talking, laughing, even crying at the funny stories.
I hear the timer go on and I see Damian putting on the oven mitts to take the pizzas out. He places them onto of the stove and I pull out of my uncles embrace to go help him. I take the pizza cutter and start cutting the pizza.
"The homemade gourmet meal is ready." I tell everyone earning some laughs from them.
"Hey a lot of energy went into this meal. If you don't believe me ask our electricity bill." I say
"She's finally learning about paying the bills. " my uncle victor says. I sarcastically gasp and roll my eyes at his comment.
"Guess why the bills were getting paid at the Manor I used to do it. Don't come at me like that again." I joke pointing the pizza cutter at him.
"With your dad's money." My uncle Kal  says trying to cover it with a cough.
"Which one?" I joke around. Damian's face got red. He earned a couple looks from my family. " I have two dad's guys." I say trying to lighten up the mood. I look at Damian and he smiles awkwardly. He winks at me knowing that he's my daddy now. I blush and look away.
We all sat down to eat and talked about the feeling I had and who gave it to me. Everyone nodded understanding me. My phone started ringing at the counter and Damian reached over not leaving his chair and grabbed it to check who it was.
"It's your dad." He says out loud. The hole room goes quiet. He quickly checks his phone.
"Oh shit I got a 911 from your dad." He stands up right away.
I grab the phone from his hand and see it's from his work office number and answer the call.
"Hello?"
"Honey I need you here." Was all he says before hanging up. I look over at Damian he had a jacket and shoes on, he wiggles his keys in front of everyone ready to go.
"I'll let you know if you guys should get involved or not." They nod.
"I'll lock up sweetheart, oh and Quinny." My uncle calls for me. I look back at him.
"I still need to talk to you." I nod. Before grabbing my keys and my badge to enter the office.
Damian and I rush to his car and made our way to the building scanning our ID's and walked right in. The whole corporation was empty. No one was here. Which made me confused since it's still work hours.
We got to the elevator and pressed the button but it wasnt working.
"What the hell." I mumbled pressing the button a couple more times.
"It was working just fine before I left." Damian says looking at me. We walked towards the stairs and scanned our cards to get in.
Wmade my way upstairs; which reminds me I have to do my cardio workouts again because jesus christ I'm was out of breath right away.
As I carefully opened the door to the to the floor where my dad's office is I heard voices. A male voice but it wasn't my father or anyone I knew.
"You killed him." I heard.
"Call everyone." I said turning to see Damian taking out his phone to text the group chat.
I walk towards the my dad's office.
"I didn't kill your son." I heard my dad's voice. Then I heard a loud shattering sound.
"What do you need me to do." I hear Damian behind me. I turn to look at him and he already had his gun out and loaded.  I look back when I heard loud cries. Lia.
"Come one batman you can't be a coward now."
"I'm not batman."
I look back at Damian.
"Babe what do you want me to do ?" He says again. With a swoosh of my hand I forcefully open the elevator doors and push Damian in.
"I need you to stay safe." I closed the doors before he could even protest.
