Sing Sweet Nightingale

Epilogue

Dick smiled as he entered his bedroom and closed the door behind him. It was dark because the curtains had not yet been drawn back, but he didn't need the sun to make out the outline of his wife laying on their bed.

He carefully set his tray down and approached the bed. He sat down on his side and leaned over to kiss Y/N's face. He smiled when she stirred. "Happy anniversary." He murmured to her as he pressed more kisses onto her face.

She sat up and pulled him close, kissing him slowly as she was still slightly asleep. "Happy anniversary." She said, her voice hoarse from sleep. "What time is it?"

"Almost noon." He answered, smiling when she groaned.

"You let me sleep in." She said as she stretched. Dick gently stroked up and down her back until she relaxed against him.

"You were up a lot last night." He explained.

"That would be because your son doesn't know how to sleep." She said, throwing a faux accusatory glare at the bassinet at her bedside. A peaceful bundle rested there. Jonathan Grayson was only a newborn and could not help the cries that woke his parents.

Dick got up and walked over, looking down at the baby. The little boy stared back at him with the same bright blue eyes that Dick himself had.

"Good morning, buddy." Dick cooed as he picked up the baby.

"You are going to spoil him." Y/N teasingly scolded.

"If he is anything like you I doubt he can be spoiled." Dick retorted. "Breakfast is on the table, by the way. I requested your favorites, but Alfred told me that ice cream was not a viable breakfast option so you will have to wait for that."

Y/N ruffled Dick's hair as she walked past him and sat down.

"Can you believe it has been seven years since we met?" She said, her eyes looking off into the distance as she thought over the past. Seven years since the ball. Since the best night of her life. The night she met Dick and he saved her in more ways than he would ever know.

When her eyes focused again, Dick had put their son down and knelt before her. "These years have been the best of my life." He said.

Y/N smiled as she cupped his face. "Mine, too." She leaned forward and ghosted her lips over hers. Dick nuzzled his nose against her cheek. Y/N laughed as Dick kissed her deeply, her fingers getting lost in his dark hair.

A sudden knock on the door broke the moment. Dick huffed as he went to get it.

"I hope I am not interrupting anything." Wally said with a smirk. He sent a wink over Dick's shoulder to Y/N, who shook her head at his antics. "But Artemis has sent me over to steal your baby. Something about he and our little man needing a playdate."

Dick nodded as he went over to the crib and retrieved the precious bundle. "Be good for them, buddy." He said as he nuzzled his baby.

"He cannot even walk, Dick, what trouble could he possibly get in?" Wally said as he took the baby. "Go have fun with your wife." Wally wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

Dick cringed as he shut the door. He walked over and sat in the chair opposite of his wife.

"So now that he is gone is it time to have 'fun'?" Y/N teased.

Dick smiled rakishly at her. "Absolutely. You wanna jump on the bed or would you rather play chess."

Y/N laughed and got up, abandoning her seat to sit in her husband's lap. "How about we cuddle until Artemis brings our baby back?"

Dick cradled her face in his hands. "Anything you want, darling. Although," Dick's face once again took on a mischevious property. "I believe we were in the middle of something when we were so rudely interrupted." Y/N rolled her eyes before kissing her husband.

She pulled back and pressed her forehead against his. "You're my happily ever after."

Dick smirked and pushed the hair back from her face. "You are better than any fairy tale I could ever read."
