Sequel - Young Justice

Chapter 7

"Babe how do I look in this?" I said so Dick as I tried on yet another dress. Not even looking away from the tv he answered.

"It looks great my love, just like the last four you've tried on," he said with a groan at the end.

"My dresses don't fit right!"

"That's because your pregnant Charlotte," glaring at the back of his head I stomped back to our room in his apartment. We were currently getting ready for the fundraiser Bruce was doing for another orphanage. Going through the closet I let out a frustrated humph and flopped to the floor with my legs curled up and my back against a corner. That's were Dick found me 15 minutes later.

"Charlie," I heard him call as he walked into the room. I didn't feel like replying to I just stayed quiet putting my head on my arm as I watched him walk by the opening of the closet only to stop and see me. "Charlie," this time softer and sweeter he stepped in sitting in front of me.

"I don't want to go anymore," I stated crossing my arms not looking at him.

"Baby I know you spent enough time getting ready already don't let a little probable keep you from going,"

"But I don't have anything that fits!" With a sigh he stood offering me his hand which I happily took. Walking me out into the room he sat me on the bed.

"I wanted to wait to give you this but I really don't think there is any better time then now," he stated as he pulled a box out from under our bed. Placing it in my lap he watched me expectantly. "Go ahead, open it,"

With a small smile I pulled the box top off. Pushing the wrapping paper out of the way I found a beautiful gown. It was Greek styled with a blue woven belt that matched my eyes and a one shoulder. It reached the ground softly and was pure white. It was perfect.

"Oh Dick," I said softly before looking at him with a large smile. "It's perfect," I said standing up hurriedly I put it on. Walking to the mirror once it was fully on I beamed at my reflection.

"Perfect," I heard Dick whispered but his eyes weren't on the dress but me. An uncharacteristic blush covered my cheeks as I let my eyes drop a bit before biting my lip softly and meeting his gaze. Leaning forward he caressed my cheek before kissing me softly. "I'm so happy your mine,"

"I'm happy I'm yours too," I said with a bright smile as he leaned in for another kiss. "And I'm happy your mine and only mine as well,"

******

"and then I said you can't by that purse if you can't even afford a proper butler," a sat rubbing my protruding baby bump as the snobby women who had surrounded me gossiped animatedly.

"So Charlotte how is your father?" One of the older ones around Bruce's age asked. Actually the majority of the women at my table were around his age and a few did not have a ring on their finger.

"He's doing well," I said shorty as I looked around for Dick. He had gone to go get us food and drinks a minute ago and left me as a table to rest a bit. That's when these vultures swooped in making me their best pray, but instead of trying to eat me they were trying to annoy me to death.

The women looked slightly put out by my short answer. "And how is your husband, he surly has groan to be a handsome man," I stared at her in slight disgusted. "Your better start watching your weight, might leave you for something better," my eyes widened on shock as she had a slight smirk on her ugly looking face.

"That's hard to believe when Charlie here is the most beautiful women I've ever seen in the world," I heard behind me instantly knowing it was Dick. Placing food in front of me I smiled happily at him. Leaning down he kissed me sweetly.

"Well either way that foods not gong to help your figure,"

"Yes well I'm eating for three so.."I emphasized with by taking a large bite of my food and winking. All there eyes widened as they looked me up and down quickly. Lifting up off the seat with the help of Dick I smiled after finishing my bite. "Well I'm off to find better company, todalo," I said with a little finger wave as Dick gave me his other arm that wasn't holding my snack. As we walked I would randomly grab something off the plate as Dick smiled fondly at me. After a couple more minutes of roaming the room we heard our names being called.

Turning we saw it was Bruce and put my plate down as we made our way to him. He was smiling at us with amusement clear in his eyes.

"It seems that you two stirred up some trouble with the women over there," he had a faint smirk on his face as we snickered looking at the grumpy lady's gossip loudly about how rude they were. You could clearly hear them but one comment stuck out that caught all of our attention.

"I mean the girl is obviously just pregnant for attention! She probably doesn't even love Dick. Orphans are all the same really, attention whores all of them." The smiles were wiped off all of our faces as our heads snapped to them. Bruce and Dick took a protective step In front of me as usual whenever someone said something rude or hurtful to our family. Bruce began to march his way over to the table with Dick. I frowned as I followed after them.

"Lady's I'm going to have to ask you to leave," Bruce's voice was holding a hidden fury as he tried not to glare at them. He failed miserably as did Dick.

"What Bruce? Why!" One shouted in surprise. "We haven't done anything wrong,"

"I don't want to make a scene lady's, so please leave. I can't have people thinking that I am, how did you say it? Oh yes an attention whore,"

"Bruce you misunderstood! We weren't talking about you!"

"Then you were talking about my children? Let's get one thing straight. Don't ever come to my house and insult my kids. Now get out before I call security," after his little rant he turned walking away with Dick and I in tow. Smirking at the red faced women I skipped after my boys.
