Chapter Twelve

Percy smiled softly at the shrieks coming from the three boys in the pool as they played together in the pool house. She herself was reclined on a pool chair enjoying the nice sunny weather and the calm that had descended upon her family. Bruce was sitting in a chair next to her, also enjoying it after she had dragged him out here. She was now eight and a half months pregnant and already ready to have the little ones already.

She frowned in annoyance as her back began to ache once again along with the urge to tinkle. With a sigh, she hauled herself to her feet only to look down in horror as a puddle of water splashed down from between her legs. With the shouts from the three boys and splashes, no one heard. Percy began to truly feel the contractions now, she knew they weren't Braxton Hicks.

"Bruce?" She called, trying to stay calm. He made a sound but otherwise didn't open his eyes. "I think we need to go to the hospital."

His eyes shot open and he moved quickly to her side, his eyes roving over her body for any injury. "Why? Are you okay? Are the babies okay?"

She smiled at him, clenching her teeth against a contraction. "My water just broke, Sunshine, I'm in labor."

Bruce's eyes widened before he swung her into his arms and hurried back into the house so that they could change into something more comfortable before heading into the hospital. Their sons finally noticed that something was happening and hurried after them, only catching sight of them getting into a car and speeding off. Alfred appeared in the doorway.

"Young Masters I suggest you get changed."

"Why?" Jason asked.

Alfred smiled slightly. "Well, if you want to be there when your little brothers are born, I suggest you hurry."

The three stood frozen for a moment before scrambling up the stairs to their bedrooms. Alfred smiled. Soon, there would be three more sets of little feet running around the house. He thanked the gods once again for bringing Percy into their lives. There was never a dull moment with her, and without her, he wouldn't have the opportunity of raising the future generation of Wayne's.

He headed towards the car parked in the driveway and waited for the three children to come out and once they were buckled in, he began heading towards the hospital.

Alfred couldn't wait. He was just as excited for he new arrivals as the three in the back.

After twelve hours of labor, cursing at Bruce, cursing at the doctor, cursing at the gods, their first son was born crying at the top of his lungs.

"Oh, he's beautiful." The nurse said as she brought him over for Bruce and Percy after cleaning him up. Bruce took him into his arms as Percy was still in pain now as the other two babies were getting ready to come. "Your eldest was born at 9:53 PM, at 3 pounds 5 ounces."

"What's his name?" another nurse asked for the birth certificate.

Percy sniffled as she raised a hand to brush over his little hand. "Damian. Damian Thomas Wayne." Bruce leaned down and pressed a kiss to Percy's forehead even as she stiffened from another contraction.

"Oh, the second one is coming!" the doctor exclaimed as Percy screamed out as she pushed out her second son twelve minutes after giving birth to her first one. Instead of having a little relief from when Damian had been born, her youngest son began to come out right after her middle son. Finally, five minutes after her middle son and seventeen after her eldest, her youngest was born.

Their two youngest were brought over to them after being cleaned up and weighed. Bruce still had Damian in his arms. "Your middle son was born at 10:10 PM at 3 pounds 7 ounces. And your youngest was born at 10:15 PM at 3 pounds 4 ounces."

Percy sniffled as she cradled her two youngest sons in her arms, looking down at them lovingly. "Well, for our middle son, Anthony Edward Wayne and our youngest son, Bruce Jr Alfred Wayne."

"Beautiful names for beautiful children. We'll take you guys to your private room and let you be with your family. We have the cradles all set up in the room for you."

"Thank you." Bruce said.

Shortly afterwards, the newborns and parents were settled into their room and waiting for the nurse to come back with their other sons and Alfred.

Their three eldest quietly entered the room, followed by Alfred, and their eyes lit up at the blue bundles in their parents' arms.

"Boys come meet your brothers." Percy whispered. The family all gathered and fell in love with their three newest additions.

Bruce looked on with a smile on his face as Alfred cradled Bruce Jr in his arms and Dick, while sitting on the coach cradled Damian and Jason cradled Anthony with Tim sat in between so he could see the two babies as well. Percy and Bruce watched on as their family bonded. Bruce thought back to how in such a short time his family had grown. It had been just him and Alfred for the longest time. Then Percy had joined them. Followed by Dick, Jason, and Tim, and then these three little ones. He had always secretly wanted a big family, and he now had one and he couldn't be happier.

Bruce placed a gentle kiss on her lips and matched her smile. "I love you so much, killer. Thank you for coming back into my life."

"I love you too, Sunshine. Thank you for letting me in."
