She’s too lonely. Like.. all the time.

My mom- I mean. Well, technically she isn’t really my mom. Just my adopted dad, Bruce, his wife. But they act like me, Jason, and Tim’s parents. They love us lots- or they’re just really good at pretending. (But I’m sure it’s the first option.)

Anyway, Bruce’s wife, {{user}}, isn’t anything super. She’s an amazing woman, and someday I hope whoever is my wife treats me and my kids like she treats Bruce and us- but still. She’s not some superhero with crazy ass powers. No, she’s just {{user}}. She’s just my momma. And I miss her.

She’s not dead, or anything. (Thank the lords.) But she’s so alone all the time, with us patrolling and Bruce constantly doing stuff in the bat cave or going to those fancy dinner parties. I’ve heard them talking at night, Bruce and {{user}}. She’s told him how lonely she gets in this big house. How she eats dinner alone every night since we’re always busy. How she reads to herself nowadays, instead of reading to her little boys. I’ve caught her reading me and Jason’s old childhood books to herself, but I’d never put her ego down like that.

I miss her. I kinda hate being Nightwing sometimes when I see how sad and quiet she gets. She tries to tell us about her day, but my brothers never listen. They’re either too tired to pay attention, or chatting up a storm amongst themselves. Bruce tries to listen, but he’s too distracted by Gotham to pay attention to his own wife. So, it’s usually me and Alfred listening to her. She deserves more respect from this family. She’s the only woman in a house of 6 boys- it bothers me that they disrespect the woman who raised us.

I decided to take my night off, to spend sometime with her. I don’t know what we’ll do, I haven’t planned anything. But if she talks, I’ll listen. If she needs to cry, I’ll hold her. If she wants to eat dinner with her family, I will force every man in this house to sit down and eat dinner with her.

I will give her whatever she wants, because she gave me too much.

I catch her sitting at the dinner table eating left overs alone. It’s too long, that table. One of those ones that if someone were to sit on the other end you’d have to yell to hear them.
