Selina wakes up to the feeling of nausea. She felt the sick coming up her through. She stands up and runs to the bathroom. She kneels in front of the toilet and throws up. She can here Bruce running into the bathroom after her. She feels him put his hand on her back.
"Hey do you feel better now" he asks. She nods her head. Bruce puts his hand on her head.
"Your not warm. Maybe you just have a stomach bug I will have Alfred get you something" he says. She nods her head.
"Well until you are better I don't want you going out. I can manage the city on my own for the next few days" he says.
"B you don't have to do that I'm fine" she says.
"No you are not going out fighting crime when you are sick Ok and don't fight me on this" he says. She stares at him for a second before sighing and nodding her head.
"I don't want to be hard on you but I love you that's all" he says. She looks up and smiles at him. He smiles and leans forward.
"I just threw up I don't really think you want to kiss me" she says. He chuckles.
"I don't care" he says before kissing her.
Bruce had left for the night to look after Gotham. Selina was sitting on the floor of bathroom with the test in her hands. She smiles to herself. She was scared but she knew with Bruce by her side she could do it. She places the test in a box and places it on the nightstand for when he got home. She climbs into the bed and falls asleep.
She wakes up to the feeling of someone covering her face in kisses. She giggles and opens her eyes and sees Bruce with a grin on his face. "Is it true" he asks. She laughs and nods her head. He chuckles and kisses her.
"I love you" he says.
"I love you to" she says before kissing him again.
Bruce and Selina walk down to the kitchen and see Alfred making them breakfast.
"Morning you two. You look very cheery today" he says. Selina turns to Bruce and smiles.
"Alfred we are expecting" Bruce says. Selina turns to Alfred. He looks shocked which then turns into a smile.
"Congratulations you two" he says before hugging them both.
"I knew that you two would one day" he says and Selina and Bruce laugh.
Bruce and Selina sit in Lees office as she examines Selina.
"Well all is well would you like to know the gender" she asks. Bruce and Selina both nod.
"It looks like it is a boy" she says. Selina turns to Bruce and smiles. Bruce smiles at her and kisses her.
Selina wakes up and feels has really bad cramps. She was 21 weeks and it was unusual for her to have this feeling. She walks into the bathroom and looks in the mirror and sees a little bit of blood on her PJ bottoms. Her eyes widen and she walks out of the bedroom.
"B something is wrong" she cries. Bruce runs over to her and sees the blood.
"I'll go get Alfred" he says and runs out of the room. Selina slides down doorframe and cries.
Selina, Bruce and Alfred sit in the hospital room waiting for the results. Lee walks into the room with a sad face.
"Lee What is wrong" Selina asks.
"I'm sorry but it seems that your baby has passed away" she says. Selina has tears going down her face after she says that. Bruce wraps his arms around her and they both cry.
"You are going to have to deliver the baby" she says. Selina cry's harder.
Selina holds her baby in her arms as tears go down her face. Bruce stokes it cheeks.
"We will give you a few minutes" Lee says as she walks out with the other doctors.
"He's perfect" she cries. Bruce holds and cries with her.
"He really is" he says as he kisses her head.
"We should name him" she says.
"What where you thinking of" he says.
"I was thinking Ben" she says.
"It's perfect" he says as he kisses her.
Bruce, Selina and Alfred stand in front of the grave stone looking at it. Ben was laid to rest. Bruce wraps his arm around Selina and she cries into his shoulder. Alfred puts his hand and Bruce's shoulder and gives him a sympathetic look. Bruce lets a single tear fall down him face.
Flash forward...
"It took us a while for us to finally decide to have another baby but when we had you it was like my world changed. And your brother will always be in my heart. For even though I only got 20 minutes with him
we still love him" Selina says. Her kids smiles at her.
"He was perfect just like you all are" he says.
"Well clearly if you had so many of us" their son Damien says. Bruce and Selina laugh. Bruce and Selina had 12 kids after Ben and people may say they didn't care about Ben but it was that they loved to have a child where they could give them the best life.
"Alright are all of you ready to go" Bruce asks their kids. The kids nod their heads and they all walk up to the graveyard.
The kids line up and look at the grave. They both put a flower down in honour of their brother.
They never forgot him. They never would. He was apart of the family no matter what. And Bruce and Selina would always cherish those 20 minutes that they had with him. Though it wouldn't be the lifetime they had wished for.
