Bruce's POV
My mouth hung open for minutes, I couldn't believe my ears, Jason has a daughter. What? How? When? Who? Where? And why? Alfred had taken her out of the basket and was rocking her to sleep. I re-read the note over and over again there was no name, no signature just a small amount of writing.
Mister Wayne you may not know me but I know you know Jason Todd.
This little girl is Evie Todd his daughter please get her to him so he can look after her,
Jason will know what's happened.

I ran my hand viciously through my hair trying to figure out what was going on. The shock of finding out I was a father was hard, I can't imagine how Jason will deal with this.
"Oi! Bats get back here I want to rinse you again these guys can't play poker to save their lives!"
"He's cheating!"
"Shut up Dick." I recollected my thoughts and glanced back to Alfred who had successfully gotten Evie to sleep.
"Jason there's something you need to see." I heard him leave his place at the table slapping Tim and Dick on his way out.
"What is it?" I handed him the note without saying a word, I didn't know what to say.
"W-what I-I feel light headed."
"Breathe in and out Master Todd."
"I'm freaking out Alfred."
"Jason it's okay just breathe." I held onto his shoulder as he took deep breaths, eventually he steadied himself.
"Alfred m-may I have my daughter."
"Of course Master Todd." The way he looked at her was so tender and protective, he looked so vulnerable now, after his resurrection he tried to show no sign of weakness not even screaming at pain like gunshots or impalements. But now his mental barriers had been broken by an opponent so tiny.
"She's beautiful, just like me and her mother."
"You know who her mother is?"
"Another time Bruce. Now I just want to be with her, my babygirl, Little E" My heart stopped for a moment as I truly understood his newfound devotion to his daughter, him actually calling me Bruce was definitely a step forward and seeing him act so much like a parent was wonderful.
"I want to put my daughter to bed."
"I'll have a room set up immediately Master Todd."
"Thanks Alfred."
"Does this mean you not playing poker now!?"
"Tim!"
"What?" Jason and Alfred made their way upstairs and I returned to the boys who were silently rejoicing at not having to play against Jason and lose all their money.
