Summary
“I had a baby. Did you know that? She’s not mine anymore, but-”
Bruce - because there’s no way she’s calling him Batman in her head while on her deathbed - puts his gloved hand just over the tips of her fingers, and Steph can’t help but wonder who of the two of them he’s trying to comfort.

“Don’t worry, Stephanie. She’ll never want for anything, I promise.”
Or; this started out as four moments where Stephanie and each of the Robins talk about pregnancy. accidental plot happened along the outlining.
