Little family (Bruce/Clark)

Clark's POV

I stirred to the soft sound of Dick's cooing noises from the bassist beside mine and Bruce's bed. Knowing in a moment that soft sound would turn into crying, I slowly opened my eyes, glancing over at the little baby bed.

There was just enough light coming in from the windows to illuminate the tiny bundle not too far away from me, highlighting dark brown hair and big blue eyes that stared back at me.

Dick made another noise before stretching an arm up over his head that he'd managed to wiggle out of the cocoon Bruce had wrapped him in before laying him down. I chuckled.

Our little acrobat.

I watched as he brought his arm down, his small fist going to his mouth as he suckled on his knuckles. A solution I knew would only last a few seconds so I slowly sat up, leaning over Bruce to carefully pick Dick up.

He wiggled happily in my arms, stretching again as he pulled his other arm from the blanket, his small fingers gripping nothing as he fisted his hands in the air. It still amazed me how small he is. His head and upper body easily fit into just one of my hands while his bottom and legs fit in the other.

He was perfect. It'd only been a few weeks since he was born and I found myself even more in love with him now. He wasn't much bigger from the very first time I'd held him, but I knew this time with him was already passing quickly. It was bitter sweet.

I just sighed softly, smiling in awe as I watched him for another moment before glancing over at Bruce, wondering if I should go ahead and wake him or let him sleep the next few short minutes before-

Dick let out a shrill cry and my attention snapped back to him. A pout was now pulling at his lips and big tears puddled in his eyes. I didn't even have to look to know Bruce was awake now as he shifted beside me.

I shushed Dick gently as Bruce sat up groggily, watching the two of us silently before carefully reaching for Dick as he let out another cry. Once he was in Bruce's arms, his cries only worsened, most likely in anticipation for the milk he knew he was about to get.

I was still amazed at how much he already knew. He knew his daddy. He knew him by touch and scent and knew he was going to be fed as soon as the tears started. Natural instinct I guessed, but I still grinned, knowing our little Dicky was just so smart already.

Bruce just hummed softly to him as he laid back down, placing Dick on his chest and cradling his small head as he found his way to Bruce's nipple. He immediately started to suckle and pawed at Bruce's chest with one hand while the other was tucked up against his face.

His eyes were still wide open, staring up at Bruce, watching him curiously. He was so very much aware of his surroundings, always following mine and Bruce's movements with big, excited eyes.

Bruce used his other hand to rub Dick's back, gently soothing him as he ate and as Dick relaxed, he made the occasional soft noise, his eyelids slowly started to droop as he fought sleep.

I laid back down beside Bruce, leaning over to kiss his cheek as I placed a hand on the back of Dick's head. Bruce just smiled, turning his head to look at me sleepily.

Neither of us needed to say another to know what we were thinking. This was a perfect moment. A core memory. Dick would only be this small for a little while longer and I knew we both wanted to cherish every second that we could.

It was quiet as we laid like this for another moment, waiting for Dick to fall soundly back into sleep before moving him. It didn't take too long though and soon enough Bruce was sitting up and laying our son back into his bassinet.

My smile only grew as he laid back down, wrapping my arm around him to pull him close as the silent night fell on us once again. Sleep taking over our senses and the knowledge that Dick was happily fed and snoring softly beside us lulled us into a sense of calm.

Sometimes I still couldn't believe Bruce and I had made such a perfect family. A perfect baby. I was so in love with both of them and knew I'd do anything to keep them safe and stay just like this for as long as possible. Happy and in love.
