The Batman Fanfic: A Little Robin’s Beginning

Chapter:1 Birthday

July 19th it was a nice cool early morning as cool air gentle blew into a little child's bedroom decorated in simple child things a couple of toys and books with a little desk with paper and crayons for coloring with some of them of drawings of Gotham's hero as the sun began to peek through the window softly landing on the face of a little 5-year-old boy his face a soft cream color with rosie round cheeks like peaches their eyes slowly opening to big round innocent baby blue eyes that were gently rubbed awake with little hands to help the little one wake up from sleep letting out a soft yawn some footsteps were heard approaching dream door coming with a gentle knock at the door slowly opened revealing a kind of woman in her 50s wearing a light pink dress with lavender flowers a white apron tied around it her kind grey eyes full of love and kindness " good morning little Timothy happy birthday as well." Letting out a small yawn Tim smiled at his nanny "G..good morning Maggie!”

At Wayne Enterprises

“Yes, yes, the files on the East African irrigation project have been organized! Yes… yes I will have them on your desk by the end of the day… yes… goodbye” said a young woman. Janet Drake was Tim Drake’s mother; she was in her late twenties and had jet-black hair in a pixie haircut. Janet had blue eyes, just like her son. Janet sat at her desk, she wore a dark blue business suit consisting of a suit jacket and pencil skirt, and she wore a white button-down blouse that was open enough for her pearl necklace to be visible (her husband got it for her years ago, he never told her that he stole it for her). “Hmmmmm, oooh today is Tim’s birthday. I wanna check in with how he’s doing. I’m really gonna plow through this work to see him. He must be up by now~” said Janet as she picked up her cell phone and called her apartment, presuming Tim’s nanny would answer. Janet Drake worked as a department secretary at Wayne Industries, she was lucky enough to get the job through connections and a recommendation. As much as Janet took pride in her good work, it made her sad to not be with her son as much. Hopefully, tonight will be different. Soon the phone answered, “Hello Drake's residence." “Hello Mrs. Florence how are things going is everything almost ready?” “Yes Mrs. Drake the food is all prepared and we're just finishing up the cake and the guest should be arriving at home little has been excited all morning about it he's such a sweet little one." Maggie said cheerfully “I already informed Mr. Drake about everything and he'll be there as soon he finishes his meeting." Mr. Drake was Janet's husband and father Tim who owned their company Drake Inc. and worked in partnership with Wayne Industries “Hello Maggie, i'm happy to hear that everything is coming together for Tim’s party.We’re all lucky to have you looking after him for the day, as well as finishing the final preparations for his birthday party. I’ll definitely make sure to be home in time to set everything up~” said Janet as she was typing on her computer at the same time, there was still a lot of work that she had to finish up before she could leave. By the look of things, Janet thought that it would be impossible for her to leave early when she had all that extra work to do. Yes, this was being a businesswoman in a nutshell. “Maggie, can you please put Tim on the phone? I want to wish him happy birthday~” said Janet in that sweet motherly tone of hers the sort of tone that she had when she wasn’t addressing any of her office colleagues.“Of course Mrs. Drake Timothy dearie your mother's on the phone she would like to talk to you." She handed Tim the phone after he put the spoon down mixing the chocolate frosting for the cake "Hi Mama!" “Hi there Babydoll, Momma wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday this morning. I hope you’re having a great day today. Mommy’s going to make sure that she gets home on time to celebrate~” said Janet who took a break from typing to fiddle with the right side of her blouse collar.

“Mommy’s got your gift and she’s going to make sure to give it to you later. Now is there anything else you’d like to ask Mommy before she goes Tim?~” asked Janet whose assistant came in and signaled the young businesswoman’s attention as Tim thought for a moment " No mama I.I good I c..can't wait t..to see you and d..daddy for the party soon I love you bunches mama ." “Awwww Mommy will give you the best birthday kisses over the phone, mwah, mwah, mwah~,” said Janet as she pretended to kiss her son over the phone. Janet then glanced over to her office door where she saw her assistant was standing with someone familiar. Janet’s assistant just showed the man in, he looked familiar now because it was Bruce Wayne; the man who hired her.

“Mommy will be home later Sweetie to give you some real Birthday kisses. Mommy loves you Tim~” said Janet as she concluded the call before hanging up and turning to her Boss. “Mr. Wayne, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. I was just on a call with my son to check up with him, it’s his birthday today” said Janet who shook hands with Mr. Wayne, he was always checking in with her to see how she was. “I see Janet he must be very excited." He replied he'd seen Janet's son a couple of Tim was a very little guy always happy to see his mother whenever he could and excited whenever he got to meet Bruce from time to time and seemed to really admire Bruce though it might be due to his father Mr. Drake not being around all the time he couldn't help but a little sad for Tim not having his father around much and wanting a male role model “I really hope that I can get all these files organized before later. I want to be home in time to celebrate Tim’s birthday. Still, I’ll make sure to get everything done~” said Janet who quickly sat back down to try and get started on everything “Mr. Wayne, because all of this can be done on the computer; I’ll transfer everything on my laptop and I’ll be sure to take everything home tonight and work on it… after Tim’s party of course” said Janet, who thought this was a good idea. Being at home would give her more time to finish her work as soon as her son’s birthday celebrations concluded for the night and she put him to bed.

“That will be fine Janet actually you know what how about you go ahead and take off early these files aren't going anywhere and can wait." He offered deciding to make it easier for Janet today and be able to spend time with her son Tim will probably be happy to have his mom home early as he saw Janet's reaction to the offer “Ooooh… th-thank you so much Mr. Wayne! Ooooh now I’ll be home and have plenty of time to prepare for the party! Ooooh I’m so happy! I’d better get everything together~” said Janet as she quickly started gathering her things together and was about to hurry out to head home when she stopped and turned to Mr. Wayne.“You’ve been so nice to me Mr. Wayne, ever since you hired me. Please feel free to stop by to say hi, we’ll have plenty of cake left~” smiled Janet happily before making her way to the elevator and making her way down to the building’s parking garage. Janet then got into her car and drove back to the apartment, where she was excited to see her beautiful little boy.

Meanwhile, Tim was helping Maggie put rainbow sprinkles on the cake as she set up the candles all red white and yellow striped once the cake was all set she double-checked the snacks and food table for the guests it was decided they would go for something simple like finger foods and a bowl of fruit punch and ice tea some goodie bags for the children after the party games and magician should be here after the guest arrive On her way home, Janet stopped to pick up some last minute balloons and decorations for the party. Janet then stopped by the toy store to pick up Tim’s gift, she then went to her local pizzeria to pick up five boxes of pizzas for the party. Janet then returned home at 2:30 PM, and she was able to bring everything inside herself.

“Tim, Maggie, I’m home. Now where’s my birthday boy?~” asked Janet who placed everything she bought onto the kitchen table. Janet then took her suit jacket into her bedroom and left it on the bed. Furthermore, Janet didn’t need to change clothes and she enjoyed wearing her white blouse and skirt at home as much as she enjoyed wearing her attire outside the office. Janet then went to look for her son and wished him a happy birthday. When she came to his room she saw that Maggie was just putting on a cute little blue bow tie on Tim's new birthday outfit cute deep blue shorts with suspenders with a light blue dress shirt with a little red bowtie despite him being 5 Tim was very small for his age due to being born near premature resulting Tim's body to grow slowly causing some to mistake him for a three-year-old babe though despite being small Tim was smart too and always had a bright mind one of the things that makes Janet so proud of him

“Hello, Tim! How’s Mommy’s little birthday boy? Ooooh, you look so cute in your birthday attire, Maggie has really gotten you looking very handsome~” said Janet who was excited to see how cute her son looked all done up in his birthday attire. The sweet mother waited for Maggie to finish getting her son all tidy looking, Janet then afterward went to give Tim a big birthday hug. “Mommy was able to leave early to help prepare for the party. She also did some last-minute shopping; she even got you something you’re only going to get later” said Janet as she kissed Tim’s cheek before getting up to speak with Maggie about the final preparations.

Tim was really excited to see his Mama home for his birthday hopefully Daddy would be here soon too as he toddled along with his Mama and Maggie downstairs to the living room Tim saw a big pink box wrapped in a silk gold ribbon it must be his surprise from his Mama as his eyes sparkled in awe of the pretty material when suddenly they all heard the doorbell ring " oh the guests are here!" Maggie declared heading to the door to greet the guests “Yes, it sounds like they are here. Tim, would you like to answer the door? If you need me, Maggie and I will be in the living room putting up the last of the decorations. Off you go now and welcome all your little friends inside, my darling boy” said Janet as she collected the bag of the decorations she bought before.

“Alright Maggie, would you mind helping me get these last decorations put up? These are the last ones, and then we can get the food out for Tim’s guests. Oh… I wonder when John will be home. Doesn’t he remember that it’s his son’s birthday today?” Said Janet as she got to her feet and made her way downstairs with the bag of decorations while Tim’s guests started shuffling inside.“Hello everyone. Brad, Felicity, Cora, and Maxwell; it’s nice to see all of you again. Please follow me along to the living room, Tim is really happy to see all of you again. Please, everyone, make yourselves comfortable and we’ll get this party going~” said Janet who was trying to sound excited and upbeat for Tim. For a moment she stood in the hallway, fiddling with her blouse collar, she was worried about where her husband was and the fact that he wasn’t picking up made her even more worried By all the kids were playing games and won little prizes and munching on pizza and snacks as the grown laughed and enjoyed watching their kids having fun especially when the magician came and was putting on a show for the kids showing off tricks and magic just as the performer was showing the kids a little that can cute tricks that Janet heard the door ring again “Oh… and who could that be?”asked Janet, who was excited to excuse herself from the boring conversation she was having with the adults. One of Janet’s adult friends was talking about how her son had been accepted into a school for gifted youngsters. Another one of Janet’s friends was talking about something similar with their children.

“Why am I even friends with these people? Tim may not be like all these kids academically, but he’s the sweetest nicest boy I could ever have wished for~” said Janet to herself as she walked down the hall towards the front entrance to see who it could be.

“Oh, Mr. Wayne? Welcome! Please come in; you came just in time. We still have a lot of food out, I just took out some fresh trays so please help yourself~” said Janet as she led Mr. Wayne into her home, along the hallway of nice copies of old paintings as the two made their way to the living room.

The kids were still having fun while the adults were chatting away as they came in. As Bruce entered the place of the present he brought for Tim he saw that the magician was just finishing up his show the birthday boy noticed Bruce's arrival "M..Mr. Wayne you here at my birthday!" excitement in his voice as he ran/toddled up to greet Mr. Wayne causing Bruce to chuckle "Hello Tim and happy birthday to you as well your mother had invited me to join the party and it looks like everyone is having fun."

Noticed how the kids continued to play games and the adults talked among each other until Felicity noticed Bruce's arrival “Thank you for coming Mr. Wayne. Tim has always told me how much he really looks up to you. It’s really sweet of you to show up for him~” said Janet as she took Mr. Wayne’s gift and put it on a table with the others to be opened later. “I honestly am starting to worry when Jack is supposed to be home. Tim’s father is already several hours late. I really, really hope nothing is wrong… doesn’t he realize that it’s his Son’s birthday?” said Janet, she felt tears beginning to form in her eyes because of how worried she was. Janet then excused herself for several moments from her guests and went to the bathroom to splash some water in her eyes. "Sorry everyone, I just needed to step out for a moment,” said Janet as she sat with Mr. Wayne and the other adult guests. Janet really was worried about her husband’s whereabouts, but she was trying to look strong for Tim and not give her guests the idea that she was crying.

Soon it was time for presents the kids sat in a circle with Tim in the middle as child handed their presents to Tim the first one was from Kiki, Felicity's granddaughter the wrapping was pink and blue with white ribbon and when he opened it was a set of cowboys and horses set with cattle that came with a book that Tim really liked reading. “Thank you, Kiki I love it."

He thanked her as he received the next one with green and blue stripes with a deep blue bow from Maximum and Zechariah, Cora's twin boys “Such wonderful gifts Tim, please remember to say thank you~” said Janet who was trying not to sound worried, but was starting to feel better as she reminded herself that Jack would be home soon and they were only a few hours into the party. Janet could see how happy Tim was to get his wonderful gifts. “Oh and this gift is from Mommy, it’s something you’ve wanted for a long time~,” said Janet as she handed her son a big pink box wrapped in a silk gold ribbon. Janet then sat back down, feeling much better than before. Tim excitedly opened the box and inside revealed a soft honey brown teddy bear! With big blue eyes like Tim's very plush and soft like a marshmallow pink velvet ears and around its neck was a red ribbon with a little gold locket with a picture of his parents and Tim when he was a baby when opened Tim his eyes widened in awe as he excitedly held his new teddy and hugging his Momma showing how much he loves, just then they heard the door opens revealing it to be Mr. Drake struggling to carry a wrapped gift in red paper with a big blue ribbon as he accidentally bumped it against the wall a 'ding' " hello everyone I'm so sorry I'm for being late Janet the reason well I had to go to the other side of town for this and well haha had to put it together myself haha ."he smiled sheepishly hoping this would make up for his delay at Tim's party speaking of " Happy Birthday son I'm sorry Daddy was late but I got a special surprise for you !" He said with a big smile but then almost lost his balance with the heavy gift until Bruce got up to help, Mr. Drake wasn’t as tall and big as Wayne but he was strong in his own way “Hey thanks Bruce this was a bit heavier than I thought haha." He laughed as he placed the gift in the living room As soon as Mr. Drake finished moving his gift inside; Janet went over and hugged her husband as she missed him so much. Janet didn’t care if everyone was looking at them, she was so worried when she hadn’t heard from Mr. Drake in a while; she was happy to have her man home again.

“I missed you Honeybear, I didn’t know that you were going to be late. I’m so happy to have you home again. Tim is having fun~” said Janet as she kissed her husband’s cheek before going to see Tim’s reaction to that cute teddy bear that she gave him. "Daddy!" Tim exclaimed happily running to his father for a hug! Mr. Drake chuckled lifting his son into his arms and bouncing Tim up and down making the little boy giggle in delight at his Daddy being home for his birthday “Hehehehe Mommy is also happy to have Daddy home, I missed you so much as well Jack. Tim is really happy with his gifts, but you being home for his birthday has really perked him up~” said Janet who couldn’t stop crying tears of joy at the sight of her husband being home again.

Janet was very relieved with the fact that her husband was home safe. “Oh Jack, look who also came to the party~,” said Janet as she was able to compose herself again and turned the attention of all the adults to Mr. Wayne so her husband knew that the famous “Prince of Gotham” was in their home.

"Mr. Wayne what a surprise thank you for coming.”Happy to see his business partner Mr. Wayne here “He’s such a good boss, he gave me the rest of the day off to finish setting the party up~” said Janet happily as she turned towards a mirror to reapply some red lipstick to her face. “I’m happy to see how much fun we’re all having, would you like to have cake now and sing happy birthday~,” asked Janet to Tim, as she kissed her adorable son’s cheek; yet almost forgetting to mind herself in front of their guests despite how affectionate she was towards him.Janet often still treated Tim like her baby, as being a mom after all was her biggest dream in life. Heading to the table the kids surrounded Tim as Janet lit the candles on the cake and they sang happy birthday to him as Tim blew his candles making his birthday wish they clapped in congrats as Maggie cut the cake to serve everyone John went to Janet as she gave Tim a birthday kisses "Janet would you come with me for a few minutes privately I have to ask you something I promise it won't be long." Janet signed but smiled as John tousled his son's hair making him giggle "Of course John dear mama and daddy need to talk about grown-up things for a bit Timmy we'll be back in the meantime enjoy with your friends okay sweetie." hugged Tim as she and John went upstairs to talk privately in the meantime Tim was enjoying his cake vanilla with chocolate buttercream with rainbow sprinkles the icing getting on his rosie cheeks as the other kids enjoyed in the meantime as Bruce watched happily for the little one he couldn't help but get a feeling about Mr. Drake needed to talk to his wife about but decided to shake it off for now as he suddenly felt his phone vibrate and when he checked the bat signal was on alert so it looked like he'll have to cut it short as The Batman was needed before leaving he went over to Tim to wish him a happy birthday and goodbye “Oh… Goodnight… Mr. Wayne… see you tomorrow Sir~” said Janet who was kinda surprised to see that Bruce Wayne had to leave so abruptly. As Janet watched her boss leave in a hurry, she wondered what the emergency could be.
