Dick always wanted a son. He grew up with only brothers, he had no idea how to deal with his sister. That's why a son was a safe option for him. He could do more with him than with a daughter, he could train with him, play football. With daughters it was different, you had to be more careful, more gentle. Yeah, a son was a good option.
He was happy when he found out that Kori was pregnant. He would finally become a father. He prepared the baby's room, went shopping with his fiancée to buy all the necessary things. However, his heart stopped a little when he heard that it would be a daughter.
He loved her from the moment she reached out her little hand to him, barely opening her eyes. He didn't think he needed a daughter in his life. He already had a whole plan for a son, but she complicated things a bit. However, he couldn't deny that he was completely charmed by her. She was a mix of him and Kori, those sharp eyes, beautiful smile. She was always full of it, she kept them up at night, since she was a baby and even though they were irritated, that anger would go away when she smiled innocently at them. Yeah, they were totally whipped by her. She was a total daddy's girl. Kori loved watching her daughter fall in love with the same eyes she had a few years ago.
But the thought of a son kept circling in his mind. Kori didn't want to go through a second pregnancy, because the first one had been hard enough. Adoption. He took a cue from Bruce who collected children like Pokemon. "We're adopting a boy," he said one Christmas Eve while his daughter was forcing strawberries into Jason's mouth.
She was already five years old, she understood the concept of adoption. But she didn't know how her life would change so dramatically. The moment Kori and Dick adopted Tommy, her life changed 180°. She wasn't daddy's girl anymore, because Dick focused all his energy on Tommy. He was two years old, learning to walk and talk. He needed more attention than his five-year-old, yeah? Even Bruce, who was crazy about his granddaughter, couldn't take his eyes off the boy. The little girl was the sunshine in the Wayne family they didn't realize they needed. But a grandson? That was a dream.
The little girl didn't mind the attention they paid to her little brother. He was younger, he had to find his way in a new family... But why weren't they paying attention to her anymore? Why did she have to give her toys to her little brother? It was confusing to the little girl.
