The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.~~Allan K. Chalmers:

Kon curled his arm around Tim, setting the book Tim had been half-heartedly reading on the coffee table , and moving him to a more comfortable position, pulled half against his chest, while continuing his talk with Dick and Roy. He smiled when Tim sighed softly in his sleep, and pressed closer into Kon's warmth, contentment glowing from his usually tense features.

"Is Tim alright?" Dick asked worriedly, bouncing Haley on his knee, making funny faces at her. Roy glanced up, too busy trying to get most of the food into Robin and not all over the room to have been following the conversation very well.

"Yeah, I think." Kon shrugged uneasily.

"You don't sound sure." Dick frowned, overprotective instincts already on overdrive due to his four children, one of whom was on her first sleepover and making both of the fathers get grey hair from worrying, and the other of whom was suffering the cyclical ear infection that seemed to be making its way over and over through the babies. Billy had finally fallen asleep, but was grumbling unhappily even in his sleep.

"I don't know how to describe it." Kon stroked his hand through Tim's hair. "It's nothing big, I guess."

"Just tell me the symptoms. I might recognize it. Have you fought any interesting villains lately?" Villains caused all sorts of unusual behavior usually. Either that or their poisons.

"Like I said, it's nothing big." Kon watched Dick play with Tim's Haley. "And it could be Tim's been wearing himself into the ground again…except he hasn't been."

"What are the symptoms, Superboy?" Dick had the original Robin-command-tone, and any Titan leapt pretty nearly instantaneously when they heard it.

"He's tired a lot more than usual, and he's kinda pissy, and has to pee a lot and this is really embarrassing and Tim's going to shoot me," Kon let out in a rush. Dick and Roy exchanged a long, speaking look, the kind that all couples who'd been through a hell of a lot together seemed to have. And it didn't seem to count if their experiences had been good or bad. Kon sometimes thought that the taunting his sperm and egg donors got up to was more out of routine than any need for it. Most of the important stuff of what they said was done with just a couple glances between them at the start of any fight.

"C'mon, Kon, help me clean this little monster up," Roy suggested after a long moment. Kon frowned, not wanting to leave his Tim alone, but sighed when Dick looked like he was about to start using that damned voice again.

"Hey, I'm gonna go help Roy clean Robbie up." Kon shook Tim awake, refusing to leave him asleep without letting him know where he was going.

"Robbie?" Roy laughed, as Kon explained to Tim where he was going and then helped Roy take the smallest princess to the kitchen.

"She's gotta have some kinda nickname." Kon shrugged.

" True. So you and Tim enjoying each other?" Roy leered playfully.

"Yeah." Kon smiled. He passed Roy one of the washcloths, and watched him take care of Robin.

"Hey little bro." Dick grinned. "Falling asleep on the job?"

"No." Tim glared. "And if he's said I have been…"

"Relax, Tim." Dick held up his hand. "So how long have you and Kon been doing it?"

"About a month," Tim replied cautiously. Whereas he might have had issues with anyone else asking him this kind of question, this was Dick. And Dick didn't count for embarrassing him, because he was Dick, and would answer the same exact questions himself. "Why?"

"Curious." Dick shrugged. "Feels good?"

"Oh yes." Tim smiled softly. "Just being with him feels good."

"I know the feeling." Dick shot a grin down at Haley who blew spit bubbles in response at him. "So anything you find you don't like?"

"Not really." Tim shrugged. "So far everything I've researched as saying felt good, has."

"Hmmm." Dick continued to bounce Haley on his knee, earning him chortles of glee. "No problems? Roy and I didn't get it right first try. Some things that looked awesome in books just were damned painful."

"Well, at first I kinda liked it when Kon teased my nipples, but after a week or three it just hurt."

"Uh huh." Dick nodded thoughtfully. "Nipple pleasuring's a fine skill…Kon just bite too hard?"

"I don't know, it didn't seem like he changed how he did it, it just hurt." Tim shrugged.

"So what was the wish?" Dick asked curiously.

"What wish?" Tim asked.

"The one that brought Kon back," Dick replied.

Tim stole his niece from Dick and cuddled her, looking down at the red mop of hair she had and smiled slightly. "I just wish we could have had the happiness that Dick and Roy have."

Dick frowned thoughtfully, leaning back in the couch, thinking. "Tim…who tops with you and Kon?"

"I do." Tim shrugged. "We've both topped and bottomed but…"

"Feels good, doesn't it?" Dick smiled.

"Dick, I don't think this is appropriate conversational topics to be spoken of around your daughter." Tim let Haley gnaw on his fingers. That was definite Tim speak for confidences being over.

"Tim." Dick chewed his lip for a second then took a deep breath. "I think you're pregnant."

"Dick," Tim said very patiently. "I'm a guy."

"So am I," Dick pointed out just as patiently, and then gestured to Haley. "And she came from me through a vengeance wish."

"What makes you think so?" Tim asked calmly, internally panicking.

"Frequent urination, fatigue, and tenderness in the nipple area, along with nausea were my first signs," Dick replied. He knew he'd have to convince Tim with logic first.

"I'm not nauseous," Tim pointed out.

"Tim, you have three of the four signs I had, you've been having sex, you made a vengeance wish," Dick listed off. "More than likely, you are pregnant."

"I'm too young." Tim tensed.

"Tim." Dick scooted next to Tim, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "You're eighteen, legally an adult, and more mature than most people my age."

"We just got together," Tim continued, out and out panicking

"Point." Dick hugged Tim to him. "But you've got one of the largest extended families ever. So no matter what happens, we're all here for you." He sighed when Tim continued to panic, and rubbed his back reassuringly, holding his baby brother against him. "It'll be okay, Timmy." Tim just kept a careful hold on Haley, and pressed tighter against Dick.

"What did you do to him?" Kon demanded, rushing into the room as soon as Roy let him. Roy followed, with Robin in hand,

"Nothing," Dick replied. Tim sat up as soon as Kon came into the room.

"He didn't do anything, Kon," Tim said firmly. Kon reflexively scanned Tim, checking to see if everything was really okay and frowned.

"What?" Tim asked.

"You've got a teeny tadpole in your stomach area." Kon frowned. "But I don't think it's natural. Are you okay?"

"He's fine." Roy sat on Dick's other side and wrapped an arm around Dick, kissing his ear fondly.

"You two are just going to be fathers," Dick explained calmly.

"Tim's a guy." Kon frowned. "And we're way too young."

"And you think Dick's a girl?" Roy frowned. "Trust me, he's 100% male."

"And Tim's got more maturity than most people our age." Dick gestured between himself and Roy. "Plus, you have a huge family to help out."

"Ummmmm." Kon's eyes rolled back and he passed out.
