You were a new mother. You had no idea what to expect, what to do, or how to act. But as long as you had your husband you would be alright, or so you thought.
Once Elle was two months old you saw a pattern, Bruce began to stay out later than normal. You felt him begin to detach from you and your newborn.
Every time he held her he looked as if he couldn't wait until you took her from him.
One night you had given Elle to Bruce so you could shower. Once you came out, your face dropped at the sight. He looked as bored as ever.
Elle looked as if she was on the verge of crying again. "Bruce, are you okay? He faked a smile. "Of course baby. Do you think I'm not?"
Truth was, Bruce had been feeling guilty as shit.
He had been so stressed with everything and on top of that had a colicky newborn who he couldn't bond with. Last night in a moment of weakness he shared a kiss with Selina. The pain he felt in his chest since the kiss had been bothering him all day. He would do anything to go back in time.
"I just. You're different now. You're barely home. You can't even bond with Elle. Did something happen?." you saw panic begin to build up in his eyes as if the story of last night had already started. "What did you do." tears threatened to spill over your eyes, in your heart you knew something happened yet you chose not to believe it.
Bruce stayed silent and kept his head down. "Selina kissed me." you couldn't believe this. "did you kiss back?" he shook his head yes. "I don't care where you go, but I don't want to see you right now. You can cry or be sad all you want but no one did this to our daughter but you." he got up quickly, his hands reaching to you to calm you down.
"I MEAN IT BRUCE. GO!" you yelled.
Bruce left the room and as soon as you finished your sentence, as if the universe was laughing at you Elle began to cry. You were so stressed but you knew you had to be a mother first, you needed to be strong.
You picked up Elle and slowly started rocking her but nothing would work.
Alfred entered the room, wanting to check on you after Bruce had told him what he did and after hearing Elles screams.
To say alfred was upset was an understatement. But he knew you needed him more than ever.
There you were rocking a crying elle that wouldn't seem to be quiet. You had been crying roughly, it was noticeable.
You never thought your husband would ever treat you like this. alfred sat next to you. "Y/N, I heard what happened. But honey you need sleep." you turned to him. "what was so wrong with me he had to kiss someone else. I mean I just had a baby for godsakes." he placed a hand on your shoulder rubbing his hand back and forth.
"nothing is wrong with you." You looked down.
"I'm just so fucking tired alfred. and he won't help and probably because he's so damn busy with that girl." "listen go take a nap I'll take care of Elle. we can talk about everything after. okay?"
"Okay." you went into the spare bedroom and cried yourself to sleep.

When you woke up you found Bruce sitting at the end of the bed. You internally groaned "What part of go away do you not understand?" "Please can we talk?" "No. Go away." "Y/N, please let me explain."
"Bruce, what is there to explain?" He moved closer to you.
You turned away from him. "Y/N, it was a mistake I swear on my life. I will never in my life do that to you again. I'll stop working with her, I'll block her. P-please I don't want to lose you." his voice broke.
"No, Bruce. I don't care anymore. Do what you please. I won't stop you from cheating." His hands went to reach yours but stopped halfway. Bruce was lost. Yes, he has made mistakes before who hasn't? Especially as a vigilante. But he never messed up this badly.
His eyes filled up with tears. "S-so you're saying there's no way to fix this?" "Why would there be Bruce? How can one fix a marriage that was so bad you had to cheat."
"Y/N, our marriage was never bad, this its all on me. I'll go to therapy, please I can't lose you." "Bruce go do what you want. I mean it." "Baby, look at me." "BRUCE GO," you yelled. A tear rolled down his cheek as he jolted back.
"I'm not kidding get the fuck away from me. I don't care how you feel right now for GOD SAKES. I just had a baby and the first thing you do is kiss another woman. Leave. I don't want to see your face right now or ever. I'll be gone by next week."
Panic took over his body. "y/n, y/n please don't go. I'm sorry. Please I'll own myself up to you I swear." "You think I care? Go. Don't bother showing up for Elle."
he let out a sigh before saying the words that would change everything. "Fine, I doubt she's mine anyway."
He walked out her door and headed straight to the Batcave. Alfred followed behind. "Bruce."
"im gonna lose her, and I can't stop it. No matter what I say or do she's never gonna change her mind. I know I fucked up alfred but don't we all?"
"What did you say to her." he looked down. "I told her Elle..."
"What did you say?" alfred questioned. "I told her Elle probably wasn't mine." Alfred shook his head.
"How stupid are you! That girl has been there for you THROUGH EVERYTHING." "Go fix it." "I tried." Alfred scoffed. "Go try again." Bruce shook his head. "I'll talk to her tomorrow. She needs time to think straight."
"If you lose her Bruce that's on you." those words would ring in Bruce's head for the next three years.
