I opened my eyes and wondered if it was all just a dream... Then I saw Jerome asleep in a chair in front of me.
I sat up quietly, pinching my eyes closed at the pain it caused me.
"You're awake..." Jerome said, I nod and said, "H-How did I get here?"
"We had to come home... Police swarmed the hospital last night and I called in a favor to help us get home safe," Jerome explained, I nod and said, "I don't remember..."
"You passed out after you gave birth to Atlas," I looked at Jerome in confusion, "Atlas?" I asked.
"You gave birth to Orchid and Atlas..." Jerome said, I nod as the memories come back to me.
"Don't leave me... Please," I said, he stands up and places a soft kiss on my lips, I missed that... His kiss, I missed everything about him.
"I won't, I promise," Jerome said.
"Oh, a friend of yours was going to stop by, I told her I needed to run some errands," He must mean Selina... I nod and he kisses me again, then left.
I waited a few minutes after he left and got up from the bed. I went to the babies' room and saw them both asleep... Atlas and Orchid Valeska... Atlas was my whole image... And Orchid... Orchid looked just like Jerome, with fiery hair and pale skin.
"Hello? June? You up there?" I heard Selina's voice coming up the stairs.
I walked towards her, holding myself up by the railing. "Im here," I said, almost whispering trying not to wake up the babies.
"Can you help me downstairs?" I asked, she nodded and took my arm, helping me get downstairs.
We sat on the couch and I took some pain pills that Selina gave me from my cabinet.
"You never told me you were having twins," Selina said.
"I never knew, I only knew about Orchid... I did skip a few doctor's appointments after Jerome died..." I said.
"Where IS Jerome anyways?"

Bruce's pov
"Who's calling at this hour?" asked Alfred. The phone stops ringing as Alfred touches it.
"Alfred?" I said worried at his expression. Suddenly someone punches Alfred. I look around and we're surrounded by people. I hear someone ghostly groaning. I looked at him, Jerome.
"My my. Hmm" said Jerome.
He bends over and says "Look how big you've gotten" The fire lights up in front of Jerome.
"Are you okay?" I asked Alfred
"I'll be fine Master Bruce, I'll be fine" he said
"Nice place you got here, you rent?" said Jerome. Me and Alfred stared at him with hate, I wondered if June started to hate him too.
"What do you want?" I asked
"Attitude. Teenagers am I right?" he says.
"Oh I remember those days" he says
"So many exciting new emotions floating through you" he says
"Wanting to kill everyone you saw. Aw. You. give me" he says to a guy holding the owl ornament. My eyes widened, he saw this and knew we were worried about the owl ornament. They handed the ornament to Jerome and he said "You know, I will never understand rich people's tastes"
"It's worthless," I said
"My father found it at a flea market I keep it for sentimental reasons," I said
He smiled and said "Nice try. Oh, it's got some heft to it expensive, I'm guessing," he said
"It be such a shame if I" he said then he dropped the ornament
"No don't" I said
It fell to the floor but it didn't break, "Tougher than I figured" he said while picking up the ornament
