A/N: Thank you guys for all of your love and support! You guys seemed to really love Motherhood and I'm honored that you guys wanted more! Without any further delay, here's the sequel to Motherhood

After being exiled from the League of Assassin's you are reunited with your son Damian through his father. Together you and Bruce grow into a comfortable family dynamic (requested by and anons).

After being reunited with your son, it took a little while to get back to where you had left off with him between the time you spent apart and Talia's influence. You son grew hard under Talia's care but deep down you could still see the loving son that you raised.

It took a good bit of explaining to Bruce to help him understand you and Damian's unconventional relationship but he understood well enough. He could see that Damian was just as much your son (if not more) as he was Talia's. You're the one who nurtured him. You're the one he called mother in his native tongue. You're the one he's willing to protect more than anything. Bruce recognized all of this and wanted you to be in Damian's life as a positive influence.

Even though Bruce had only known of Damian's existence for a short amount of time, you could tell that he already cared immensely for his well being. Bruce cared and wanted only the best for Damian which meant steering him away from Talia's toxic influence. Bruce did this by giving Damian the mantle of Robin and putting his League training to good use helping people.

Bruce let you spend as much time with your son as you wished and often you would come over to Wayne Manor to join Bruce and Damian for dinner. Every once and awhile you would visit the cave to assist with Damian's training. You helped him hone his skills and develop control. Under your motherly guidance, you were able to get through to him in ways that no amount of training with the Batman could accomplish.

"Control, Ibni." You commanded as you observed Damian and Bruce train. Damian was getting frustrated and was starting to lash out with his anger. "Your rashness gives your opponent the upper hand." You further explain.

"This is ineffectual!" He yelled in frustration. "I do not understand why we cannot give lowlife's what they deserve!" He growled throwing a fist towards Batman. Batman caught his fist and pulled Damian so that he was face to face with his intense features. Bruce radiated righteous fury.

"What they deserve is justice, not for you to be their judge, jury and executioner." Bruce roared. Damian stared defiantly up at his father, neither of them willing to bend to the other.

"Your father holds much wisdom, Damian. It would be foolish for you not to heed his words." You said with calm composure. These two were both far too strong willed for their own good so someone had to be the voice of reason when they butt heads. Bruce and Damian stared each other down for a few more moments until Damian yanked his hand away and reset his stance.

"Again." He demanded and their sparring recommenced.

Over time the tension settled and the three of you became a bit of an unconventional family. Your parenting styles certainly rubbed against each other at times but you and Bruce eventually found a parenting rhythm that worked for the two of you. What mattered is that you both only wanted the best for your son, even if it meant an argument or two.

Bruce eventually asked you to move into the manor so that you could be closer to Damian and not have to travel so far whenever you wanted to see him. It also allowed for the two of you to carpool to Wayne Enterprises for work, considering you still held your position as his personal assistant. It only made sense that you would accept Bruce's invitation. Giving up your Gotham apartment was of little consequence if it meant you could spend an unlimited amount of time with your son.
