Merry X-Mas

Goodbye For Now

"This was a great visit." Diana hugged Charlotte. "I'm going to miss you."

"I miss you, too Grandma." Charlotte replied.

"I've got to come visit more."

"And we'll play?"

"Yes, we'll play." She nuzzled her cheek.

"I know I'm going to miss this little bundle of cuteness." Rita kissed Sebastian's cheek and held him away from herself as he kicked.

Shirley tickled Calvin and watched as the sun shone brighter. "I'm going to miss all of you."

"Come back soon." Jinx suggested. "We all miss you."

"Too bad you can't come back to babysit next week." Changeling said.

"For New Years?" Shirley asked.

"Yeah, Titans East is hosting the party this year and it's going to be epic!"

"What are you going to do if I'm not there?"

"Me." Melvin raised her hand. "I'm the babysitter. Always."

"You should have some fun. You go on to that parry. I'll watch the potato dumplings." Shirley nodded once.

"You can't come all this way to watch them then go all the way home after." Bumble Bee grinned. "That means you have to stay the night."

"Yay!" Christopher, Charlotte and Calvin screamed.

"If you don't have plans." Cyborg didn't want to assume.

"I can always change them." Shirley waved that away.

"You got plans, Nana?!" Kid Flash teased. "You got a hot date?!"

Shirley blushed. "He's quite attractive."

Cyborg turned to her sharply. "What?!"

"Ooh!" The girls crowded Shirley.

"You have a boyfriend?!" Cyborg wanted to be known.

"He's not my boyfriend." Shirley rubbed her chest nervously.

"Get it, Nana!" Bumble Bee snapped her fingers.

"I'm hearing that she has more than one." Jinx grinned.

"The Nana has the full social life!" Starfire hugged the woman.

"Go Nana!" Terra raised a fist.

"Wait a minute! Are you listening to me?!" Cyborg waved his arms. "Who is this guy?!"

"I don't think I like this." Changeling frowned. "Who is this guy? He could be a creep."

"He's a doctor." Shirley rolled her eyes. "He has good standing in the community."

"That could be a cover for his human trafficking operation." Nightwing was serious.

"What's his name, Nana?" Kid Flash asked.

"Jake Barnes. Why?" Shirley was suspicious.

"No reason." Nightwing coughed into his fist.

She eyed him with pursed lips. "Uh huh."

"Forget them, Nana." Rita waved them away. "Tell us all about this Jake Barnes."

"Jacob is a very nice man." Shirley blushed again.

"Have you kissed?" Terra asked with a giggle.

"I don't kiss and tell."

"That's a yes!" Jinx high-fived Bumble Bee.
