You and Jason had discussed kids before and were planning on a family soon. You had been married for a little over a year and your mother was already badgering you about when she’d get to be a grandmother. She even began to prod Jason about it, which he would simply look at you and make some sort of comment to make you blush and hit his arms because it wasn’t appropriate to say in front of you mother of all people. However your mother found his comments quite entertaining.

Though, her prodding did begin to push you and Jason to begin trying. For the time being, condoms had become a thing of the past. However, attempts were futile for a while, but there was one morning where you woke up and had to rush to the bathroom after feeling nauseous. That led you to getting an at home pregnancy test and learning that you were in fact pregnant!

It was hard to contain your excitement and giddiness around Jason, along with the signs that you were pregnant. Deciding that you’d surprise Jason on Christmas when you went to the Manor for Christmas.

And damn could that day not come fast enough. You were unusually giddy that morning but Jason just chalked it up to it being Christmas Eve and this was one of your favorite times of the year. So he brushed off the excitement as nothing more than that.

Little did he know that you were planning to make your big announcement to him tonight at dinner.

When the time came for you to head to the Manor you were basically dragging Jason out of your apartment. Barely giving him time to put on his scarf and gloves to protect him from the brisk Gotham air. “Geeze doll give me a sec” He chuckled as he grabbed his keys and wrapped his scarf around his neck.

“Come on Jason! You take so long!” You whined from the front door, dramatically draping yourself against it. He chuckled and rolled his eyes when he caught up to you. “You’ve been spending too much time with Dick.”

You rolled your eyes before grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the apartment. He shut the door and locked it behind you both before intertwining his fingers with yours and heading toward the elevator. On the ride down to the first floor you hugged his arm, “I’m so excited for Alfred’s Christmas ham and cookies. And I know Dick will have hung up mistletoe everywhere so I have even more reason to kiss you.” You grinned up at your husband.

Jason chuckled and wrapped his arm around your waist. “You don’t need a mistletoe to kiss me.” A smirk grew on his lips. You chuckled and pushed up to kiss him quickly, but instead kissed his nose rather than his lips. He frowned down at you and causing a laugh to bubble from your throat. “You’ll have to get me under that mistletoe to get one on the lips.”

“Or I could just steal one.” He smirked again.

You poked him in the stomach, “You’re no fun.” He laughed before pulling you closer, “I’m plenty fun, what do you say tonight we have some extra fun and maybe finally get that other present we wanted.” You bit your lip to keep the smile from spreading on your lips. “Maybe” Kissing his cheek quickly before the elevator doors opened and you pulled him out and toward the front doors.

After the drive to the Manor you were quick to get inside and get warm. Spending plenty of time talking with the family and catching up since you last saw them. Which was only a few days prior. None of them seemed to realize you were a month along making you very proud of your ability to keep a secret from a family of late night detectives.

As dinner drew closer, your excitement began to boil over a little. You’d hug Jason’s waist or arm tighter. A large smile was always on your face. He began to become suspicious of your strange behavior.

When you noticed this you retreated to the kitchen to give Alfred a hand and before Jason could draw any hints at to what you were excited for. Alfred happily accepted your company and you helped him cut the ham and get things ready. With your help the food was finished a bit faster and you helped him set the table as well.

With everything set Alfred called the family to dinner and you happily sat in the chair next to Jason. He smiled at you before pressing a soft kiss to your lips. Earning a groan of disgust from Damian. “Must you do that over the food.” You simply chuckled, “You’ll understand when you have a girlfriend Damian.” The young man simply scoffed “I have no intention to have a relationship.”

You chuckled again, “We’ll see how you feel when you’re a teenager and that sex drive is out of control.” Countering and earning a snort out of Jason and laughter from the others. Even getting a chuckle from Bruce. The comment made a small tinge of pink paint the young assassins’ face.

Alfred came out of the kitchen holding the basket that was filled to the top with rolls. “I had forgotten to get the buns from the oven.” Alfred set them down before going to take his seat.

This was your chance. Smirking you slipped your hand in Jason’s before whispering as he took a sip of his water, “Those aren’t the only buns in the oven.” The comment caught him off guard, causing it to go down the wrong pipe, resulting in a coughing fit. Drawing the attention of his family. They all asked if he was ‘okay’ but he just stared at you wide eyed. “YOU’RE?!”

With a beaming smile you nodded, “Yes! You’re gonna be a dad!”

The entire family’s jaw dropped as Jason quickly stood and pulled you up with him. Hugging you tightly and kissing you before pulling away and resting his hands on your stomach. “How long?”

“A month” You chuckled and put your hands on top of his. “I’m surprised nobody figured it out. You are all detectives.”

Jason laughed before kissing you again. Soon the entire family had stood up and came to give you a hug and wish you congratulations. Everyone was ecstatic about the news. Steph squeezed you so hard Jason freaked out a bit because he didn’t want anything to hurt the baby. Making you roll your eyes and laugh, better get used to that now.

“This is the best Christmas ever!” Dick cheered before hugging you and wishing you congratulations. “If it’s a boy you’re naming it after me right?” He chuckled and you nodded before sarcastically answering “Wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Jason chuckled before he did something that seemed to shock everyone. He accepted a hug from Bruce. A wider smile made it’s way on your face at the sight, hearing Bruce whisper to Jason. “I’m so proud of you, you’ll make a great father.”

You swore you were going to cry hearing Bruce say that to Jason and the look on Jason’s face was priceless before he returned Bruce’s hug.

Chuckling you walked over and gave Bruce a hug as he congratulated you. You wiped away a couple happy tears on your sleeve before wrapping your arms back around Jason. His reaction and the families’ reaction was more than you could ever ask for. And from the rest of the baby talk that happened at dinner, you knew this kid was going to be spoiled!
