Too bad his family still thinks he is dead

or will it be too late for the youngest wayne
Damian laughed, before putting down his phone. Kamilah was working at the moment, so Damian thought it was a perfect time to wrap her presents. He heard his phone go off, but made no move to answer it. He got Kamilah a necklace. It had a silver chain, with a small locket at the bottom. It opened and showed a photo of them as children. Damian thought it was a nice gift, but was nervous that Kamilah wouldn't like it. He sighed, trying to change his train of thought. He looked at his phone and noticed a text from on unknown number. He quickly grabbed his phone and opened the messages.

He was shocked, to say the least. Why was his mother contacting him, why now. He stared blankly at his phone. Should he let her apologize, should he accept it? He was scared, in all honesty. His mother killed him, just because he didn't agree with her. He remembered her when he was young. She wasn't a good mother, but Damian loved her. She was the only parent Damian had growing up. She wanted what was best for him, but sometimes that didn't work. Damian flopped back onto the bed. He starred at the ceiling. He was at a crossroad, and for once he didn't know what to do.
He wanted to see Mara again. He missed his cousin, and hasn't seen her in a couple of years. Him and Mara were always close. They would have to fight for the position of the heir, but deep down they held affection for each other. For a while, they were the only family the duo had. Damian thought of Mara as a sister, and he missed her. He sighed and ran a hair through his hair.
He heard a knock at his door, and sat up. Nolan and Sam were at the door, Nolan having the biggest smile on his face. "Hey Dames, wanna come skate with us" Sam asked. Damian sighed, slumping a little. Nolan's smile quickly fell off his face as the two boys went to sit beside Damian. "Damian, what's wrong" Nolan asked, giving Damian a worried look. Damian stayed silent, choosing to face the wall ahead of him instead of the two boys beside him. He bit the inside of his cheek. Should he tell them? He turned to them, giving them a small smile. "My mother, she um, messaged me" Damian said. Nolan and Sam were shocked about this, but tried to hide it.
"What did she say" Nolan asked, placing a hand on Damian shoulder. "She said that she left the league with Mara, and she wanted me in her life again" Damian explained. "Fuck man, are you gonna let her back in your life?" Sam asked. Damian fiddled with his fingers. His feet were pouncing on the floor, but the socks muted most of the sound. "I'm not sure" Damian said, admitting defeat. "I mean, she killed me, but she is my mother" Damian said. Sam shook his head, "Damian, just because she is your mother, doesn't mean she has to be in your life." Damian nodded.
"I know, but I loved her, and I think I miss her" Damian got up and started pacing back and forth. Nolan nodded, showing Damian that he was listening. "Well, then why don't you let her back in" Nolan asked. Damian shock his head, "If I let her back in, I have to let my dad's side of the family in!" Sam let out a small laugh at this. "Damian, no you don't, this is your decision" Sam started. "If you want to let your mom in your life and not your dad, then you can. It won't make you a bad person, it's your choose" Sam explained. Damian nodded, but still didn't know what to do.
"Take it slow Damian, if you want to let her back in, why don't you start by texting her" Nolan said. "Yeah, then if you don't feel comfortable you can tell her that" Sam agreed. Damian nodded. He sat back down on the bed, putting his hand in his pockets. "I think I will do that, but I want to talk to Kamilah first" Damian said. Nolan and Sam nodded, "This is your decision Damian, remember that" Nolan said. Damian gave a small laugh, before nodding. "Can we go skating tomorrow instead" Damian asked. The boys nodded, letting a comfortable silence fall over them.
Nolan was the one to break the silence, "When are you going to talk to Kamilah about it?" Damian shrugged, "Probably after her birthday." Nolan nodded, before reaching over and giving Damian a hug. Sam quickly joined in, wrapping his arms around Damian. "Thank you guys, seriously, I don't know where I would be without you guys" Damian said. Sam laughed while letting go of Damian, "Well, you would still be dead." They all laughed at this. When the laughed died down, Nolan looked over at Damian. "We are proud of you Damian, all of us" Nolan said.
Damian smiled, while looking down at his hands. "Thank you guys" He whispered. He felt his eyes sting at the affection. No matter how many times somebody would say they were proud of him, the words still made Damian want to cry. He wishes his parents or siblings would have told him this more, but they were in the past. These people, living with him are his family. He couldn't have asked for a better one. They were proud of him, they cared for him. This was more than he could have ever asked for, and he was thankful for this.
