Prompt: Damian finds Santa's reindeer on the roof (while Santa is downstairs) and is trying to convince Batmom to let him keep them

"Mom! Wake up!" Damian whispered crawling into your bed in the middle of the night and urgently shaking your shoulders. Your eyes cracked open and you looked over to see Bruce sleeping like a log on the other side of the bed.

"What's wrong, sweetie?" You mumbled already letting your eyes close again.

"There's reindeer on the roof Mom! Come look!" Damian said eagerly pulling at your arm. "Come on Mom!" He encouraged again when you were too slow to get out of bed for his liking.

Damian dragged you downstairs and out the front door into the frigid snow covered night. You managed to pull on a jacket and some boots before it was too late. He pulled you some distance away from the manor until you could clearly see the roof and stopped to point up.

Holy shit.

"See? I told you!" He said and dear lord he was right. On your roof stood multiple real live reindeer. Their breathes billowed visibly from their noses while they stood calmly on your roof. You couldn't believe your eyes when you saw that they were all harnessed together leading a bright red sleigh. You stood there in shock with you mouth hanging open in shock.

How much did you spend to make this happen, Bruce. You thought to yourself. And more importantly how the hell did you manage to get nine reindeer and a sleigh on the roof?

"Can I keep one?" Damian asked hopefully.

"No." You responded immediately.

"But there's so many Mom! They need a home and Batcow needs more friends." He argued.

"Go ask your father." You said, not able to take your eyes off the fucking deer on the manor's roof.

"Yes!" He celebrated briefly before hurrying inside to go ask his father permission to adopt yet another unconventional pet. Shaking your head numbly at the sight before your eyes you broke out of your trance to hurry after Damian to make sure he wouldn't actually wake up Bruce. That man would agree to anything in a haze of sleep.

"So how did you do it?" You whispered to Bruce the next morning while all the boys were opening gifts.

"Do what?"

"Get live reindeer on the roof." You said a little confused as to why he was acting like he had no idea what you were talking about.

"I didn't do that." He stated honestly.

"Then who did?" You asked, the sounds of sleigh bells could be heard far off in the distance.
