Timothy Drake was a lot of things, he was a business man, a hacker, a vigilante, he was not trained to babysit, it was something that wasn't on his resume and he didn't know who in their right mind thought he was capable to take care of a child, much less a toddler.

He answered his phone talking to Damian who was at the hospital with aria. "She goes into labor and I'm the one stuck taking care of your kid" he grumbled to himself awkwardly smiling to the 2 year old staring at him with big emerald eyes.

"Hi there" he waved at TJ starting to become uncomfortable with the way he was looking at him "he's just a toddler drake, I assumed you could handle as much clearly I was wrong" Damian tutted "it's like he's looking into my soul" he whispered into the phone "it's creeping me out!" He cried.

"Dami pass me the phone" he heard in the background before aria spoke to him "how's it going?" He rolled his eyes "your spawn is making me question my life choices" he groaned "I'll have you know my spawn is an adorable and innocent little angel" she protested "you're spawn is a descendent of Damian and Jason, need I go on?" Tim sassed his smirk dropping smelling something he hoped was the dogs.

"He's potty trained right?" Tim asked practically pleading "nope" she laughed popping the P. "Why god why?" Tim cried out "stop imitating Joey Tribbiani and change his diaper it would be good practice for when you actually have kids" she sassed before hanging up.

"Well sorry if I'm a bit busy, you're not the one who has to solve 10 cases at once" he told her and she growled "no I'm the one who's having a human being come out of her vagina so I think I win, ooh my loves finally here" she cheered and he could faintly hear Lians voice in the background.

"Ok I'm gonna go now Tim please don't give my child any coffee" she finished off before hanging up.

Tim could swear he saw a smirk on his tiny baby face "you like uncle Timmy? You don't want uncle Timmy to change you do you?" Tim spoke to him in a baby voice but all he got in response were cries and that's when he began panicking.

"Ok fine fine!" He grumbled picking up the wailing child and bringing him over to the changing table looking through his baby bag to look for any diapers.

"Great" Tim muttered to himself, with the rush to get the hospital, they forgot to pack diapers in his day bag.

"Ok... so what are we gonna do with you?" He mumbled looking around an idea popping into his head seeing a pile of Mari's old clothes in a box in TJs room. Which coincidentally used to be Mari's.

One t shirt, a pair of scissors and a how to video later, Tim managed to make a makeshift diaper.

"Who's the smartest guy in the world? This guy" he cheered pointing to himself.

"Now let's go and get you some more diapers because I don't know how to recreate this or how long it's gonna last before it falls apart" he quickly rambled putting some clothes on the small raven haired boy before taking him to the car.

"I don't have a car seat..." he muttered to himself. "You just gotta sit really still in my lap ok buddy and hopefully we don't get pulled over" he told the young boy fastening the seatbelt over him to keep him in place.

The trip to the store went smoothly they went in, did what they needed and then got out. The ride back however they got stopped.

Tim grimaced seeing the red and blue lights behind him having him pull over to the side.

"Oh no we're in trouble, act cute" he urged the toddler who was laughing at Tim's predicament, yep definitely Damian's kid.

He rolled down the window to see that it wasn't any officer, "oh thank god! It's just dick! We're good!" Tim told TJ earning a laugh from him seeing his favourite uncle.

"No no no, I might be your brother but I still have a job to do" he shook his head "what? You're gonna give me a ticket because your sister in law was in labor so I had to watch your nephew whilst she's giving birth, and forgot to pack diapers... or a car seat?" Tim asked sending a dick a dirty look.

"Because that would be really mean if you did I mean, the poor woman has to push out a baby, cut her some slack" Tim shook his head at dick.

"Oh.. my god!" Dick groaned "just go home! And hurry it up!" He mumbled stepping away before quickly returning.

"It's Mari's but it shouldn't get you pulled over again" he told Tim putting it in the back seat and securing TJ in.

"Bye Tommy!" He kissed his nephews head "bye unca Dickie!" He waved back. "He talks to him but not me" Tim grumbled in the front seat before driving off again this time making
it back to the manor.

"Ok you're changed, you have your snacks, and your toys. So can you please sit here and let uncle Timmy get his work done" Tim pleaded with the small child who nodded in response.

"Papa!" TJ pointed at the case which had red hoods spare suit in it. "Yes Papa" Tim acknowledged turning back to his computer.

After an hour of doing work he finally finished the case, all he needed now was to go and scope out the place and retrieve the usb stick so they could take the whole operation down.

He turned to look at TJ "I'm all done now! You wanna play?" He turned around only to see a play mat full of toys.

"TJ?" He called out "tommy?" He yelled out again this time nervous, he lost someone's kid.

"Come on this isn't funny" he called out again hoping he would show himself. "Tommy I'll get you cookies, come here I have some with me!" He tried persuading earning silence as a response.

He could faintly hear a quiet rustling sound coming from the weapon room. "God damn it!" He cursed running into the room to find TJ holding a small grenade.

"Ok how does this even happen? How did he even get that?" He questioned himself slowly walking towards the toddler.

"Hey buddy, whatchya got there?" He made his way to the toddler "toy!" TJ spoke holding up the grenade for Tim to see.

"No! No toy!" Tim quickly shook his head at the confused look the child was giving him. "Give uncle Timmy the toy" he held his hand out but TJ shook his head "no my toy" he denied holding the small grenade closer to him making Tim let out a small squeak.

Tim looked around trying to find something that would interest the kid enough for him to hand it over without blowing either of them into bits.

His eyes landed on Damian's katana, I mean that's less lethal than a grenade right?

He quickly picked it up and showed the young boy, "look, dada's sword! Oh wow!" He dramatically pointed unsheathing it for him to see the shiny metal.

TJ awed at the shiny thing, walking over to observe it, when he got close enough he dropped the grenade in favor of the sword.

Tim leaped forward in order to catch it before it hit the ground. "Ok... we're good" he panted out his heartbeat slowing down.

Before remembering he gave a sword to toddler "oh no!" He muttered to himself before moving to take the sword from TJ only to have it swung at him cutting his arm deep.

Tim yelled out in pain as blood began to seep through his shirt, TJ dropped the sword and ran to Tim who was sat on the floor cradling his arm. "Are you ok?" He asked in a quiet voice.

"You just stabbed me with a sword!" He yelled out startling the child who had tears sprung in his eyes "no no don't cry" he sighed "I'm sorry, This isn't your fault, I should've watched you better" he slowly comforted the child quickly sheathing the sword and tossing it somewhere behind him.

"You ok?" TJ asked again and Tim nodded "I got a big owie, and alfreds not here..." he looked at his arm "we're gonna have to go to the ER" he told TJ who nodded holding onto his hand as they made their way to the car again.

He tightened the small cloth around his arm to hopefully stop the blood loss.

Once they made it to the hospital he picked up TJ and headed to the receptionist "hi.." he spoke awkwardly seeing the bewildered look from the nurse at the man holding a toddler in one arm whilst the other one was bleeding profusely.

"Right this way.." she guided them into a hospital room and told them "a doctor will be with you shortly" before leaving.

"Are you gonna die?" TJ looked at his uncle "I uh..." Tim shook his head "you're too young to die" TJ quickly spoke again not letting Tim finish as he looked about to cry.

"I'm not gonna die!" Tim told him "it's just a cut, okay? The doctors are gonna come and fix it and then we can go see mommy" he told the young child wiping his tears.

"Ok" he nodded smiling. A doctor walked in to the room, "hi I'm doctor Phillipe" she introduced herself.

"Hi I'm Tim" he shook her hand with his good arm. "And who's this little guy?" She turned to TJ "I'm Thomas but my mommy calls me tommy" he smiled sending her a toothy grin.

"Now let's take a look at that arm" she slowly and carefully rolled up Tim's sleeve. "That's deep, you're going to need stitches" she told him looking into one of the cabinets to pull out some medical thread and a needle.

"Can I ask how this happened?" She turned back to Tim. "Oh... uhh it's my first time babysitting" Tim smiled sheepishly.

"Oh I'm sorry, I thought he was your son" she shook her head embarrassed "no it's fine, he's my brothers kid" Tim assured her "my mommy's gonna bring me a baby" Thomas told the doctor.

"Oh really?" She gushed at the cuteness of the young boy. "Yeah once this is done we're gonna go see her, she's somewhere upstairs" Tim told her as she nodded "would you like anesthetic?" She asked.

"Yes please, I need something to numb the pain for when his mom hears what we went through today" he joked the doctor laughing not knowing the truth behind that sentence.

She put the cream onto his arm "I'll be back in 20 minutes to stitch it up" she told him before leaving.

TJ and Tim sat there talking for a bit before his phone rang, "hello?" He answered "hey Tim, I had the baby it was a girl!" He could hear arias happy voice "that's great! We'll come see you soon" he told her "you might want to wait a couple hours before you come, I'll explain when you get here but can I talk to Tommy for a sec" she asked as Tim nodded before realizing she couldn't see "yeah sure" he handed the phone to TJ.

"It's mommy" he told him "oh hi mommy" his eyes gleamed "hi baby, did you have fun with uncle Timmy?" She asked "yeah we had so much fun" he laughed "oh really? What did you do?" She asked "we went shopping, and saw unca Dickie and now we at the hospital because unca Timmy got a big owie!" He gasped telling his mom while Tim was miming 'no' and shaking his head.

"You're at the hospital?" He could hear the worry in her voice. "Yeah the doctor said he gonna get sticks!" He told her "sticks?" Aria questioned confused "but don't worry mommy he's not going to die!" He assured her before she told him "can you pass the phone back to unca timmy?" He handed the phone back.

"H-hey?" Tim stuttered "you're at the hospital?!" She shouted from the otherside "are you ok?" Her tone of voice changed back and forth "yeah I'm fine, just need a couple of stitches" he waved off "stitches? What happened?" She demanded "just a small incident with TJ and a katana" he shrugged off praying silently.

"A katana? Oh my god! You let him play with a katana!" She growled on the other side "oh look the doctors coming gotta go bye!" He quickly cut the call.

"But the doctor isn't here yet?" TJ questioned as his uncle shot him a look "mommy doesn't need to know that" he winked at him putting a finger to his lips.

"Like a secret?" Tj gasped pulling his hands to cover his mouth "yeah like a secret" Tim encouraged before the doctor actually came back in.

"Alright you should be good" she told him and began to stitch his arm, him occasionally wincing at the dull pain of the needle going into the skin.

"And... done, 12 stitches, you should keep that covered for atleast 12 hours before taking a shower etc, clean regularly and call if there's any swelling or any other side affects, you just need to sign out and you can go" she told him handing him a clipboard before leaving.

"Ok, Tommy do you wanna go see mommy?" Tim asked the toddler whilst he was filling out the sheet.

"Tommy?" He questioned again not hearing a response he looked up from the clipboard to see that he was a fast asleep on the chair.

"Aww he doesn't look like a devil when he sleeps like that" Tim quietly gushed putting his jacket over him.

"How many papers are there?" He questioned before continuing to sign his name and give information.

"Done finally" he sighed in relief, turning to pick up the sleeping child before making his way to the receptionist hading her the clipboard.

"Can I get the room number of Aria Wayne?" He asked her to which the receptionist rolled her eyes "I'm sorry family only, we've been strictly told that no one outside family is allowed to see Mrs Wayne" she responded.

"I'm... we're family, I'm her brother in law and this is her son" he gestured to the small child. "Name?" She looked up at him "Tim Drake Wayne" he responded and her eyes widened slightly "Mr Drake I'm so sorry, I didn't recognize you" she apologized "it's alright, now the room number please?" He asked politely.

"Room 44 in the west wing" she told him as Tim thanked her making his way to the elevator.

He walked down the halls only getting lost twice before he found the correct hallway, seeing a pile of teenagers sleeping on top of one another. He sees someone outside the room talking to the children who were spread across the floor, recognizing that person to be lian he walked over to her.

"Hey" he greeted her "hey Tim, what happened to you?" She questioned taking in his disheveled appearance, messy hair, and the gauze concealing his stitches on his arm.

"Babysitting" was his only response, "do you want me to take him?" She gestured to the sleeping child who clung to his neck "nah I've kinda gotten attached" he joked smiling at her.

"Well how's aria? Where's the baby? She said something happened..?" He tried and lian shook her head "the baby wasn't breathing when she was born, they got her to breathe but they took her for tests, Bart says she has some type of lung deformation that make her lungs weak" she explained as he took the information in.

"I'm gonna go check on her" he told her and lian opened the door stepping into the room "Do I like her? Dude I fucking love her! I love lian Harper!" Tim heard Jon announce and watched as lian froze in place, all eyes turning towards her.

"Oh shit" Tim cursed gawking at the revelation.
