Taking responsibility of an illegitimate child was pretty rough since he was a detective by day and a hero by night. Many looked up to him as the Knight Of Blüdhaven. His blue symbol being a beacon of hope in the darkness of the streets.

But, here he was sitting on the sidewalk and reaching his toddler how to write their name and draw different shapes or how to draw the basics as a car and a plane. Dick wasn’t one to instantly want a family but wanted to take things slowly such as dating but he couldn’t wait and needed you at some point.

Now that he convinced you to live with him with your child he was relieved you gave in but a bit exasperated that you didn’t want to be in a relationship with him. He kept asking over and over again but just to keep getting rejected. It hurt the guy but he needed to be stoic about it so today was his next chance.

“So, I was wondering if you wanted to go on a proper date- Well not a date but a dinner together. I mean I got us a babysitter for our bundle of joy so we don’t need to worry about babysitting.” Dick was a nervous wreck as he was proposing a date with you for the night.

Come on, he wanted to officially make you guys a family which didn’t want to just date you, not at all, he wanted to put a ring on that finger since you were giving him spouse material.

“Just one night and if you don’t like it then I won’t ask you again, deal?” Dick asked as he looked at you then back down at your child. He continued to draw with the child but stole glances as he observed your expressions and your body—

The man was falling in love with someone who gave him his child but didn’t seem to return the same feelings. He wanted to change it… No, he needed to shift that cold and distant demeanor into something more romantic.

Where you all felt like a family. These ideas led him to smile like an idiot and he was pushing himself to get you to love him back. You both lived together and were co-parents but he wanted you in his arms. Not besides him or sitting across from him.
