It should be green and gold
Watching snow
Comin' down, Charlie Brown
And everyone gathered 'round the tree
This was a silent Christmas in the Wayne Manor. Bruce helped his wife, Marinette bake Christmas cookies for when the family would be there the next day. By help, he meant watch her from the doorway while she worked as he was still banned from the kitchen.
The weatherman says
It ain't gonna snow this year
And the fog is too heavy
To cut a path for the reindeer
A thick fog blanketed Gotham instead of the normal snow that covered the ground at this time of the year. He remembered that first Christmas with his wife two years before Dick came into their lives. He'd taken a week off of work to make a trip to Paris to see Marinette who was helping her parents with their bakery for the holidays. It was that year under the lights of the Eiffel tower as snow gently fell around them that he asked for her hand in marriage.
He also got the (dis)pleasure of meeting her ex/partner Chat Noir/Adrien Agreste, the Sheep patrol, and Lila Rossi. He shut down any claims about him dating Rossi and ruined her future to get into any field of work. He was glad he didn't hear about the things she did to his wife till after the initial trail for working with multiple terrorists: Hawkmoth, Joker, Lex Luthor, Giganta, Reverse Flash, Sinestro, this girl had been around the block several times.
Your sister's stuck in Denver
And your mama can't come
But you don't have to be alone
I'll tell you why
Marinette's family couldn't make the flight out to see them this year because Paris was heavily snowed in along with Hong Kong where Stephanie, Cass, and Kate were. He smiled as another memory came to him. It was just after the mission in which he was r*ped by Talia. She'd held him for several days and didn't blame him in the least for what had happened. He fell in love with her once again when she didn't blame Damian for what had happened and accepted him like she did to all their previous children.
I'll bring the magic
I'll bring the lights
I'll make you a star
At the top of the tree
Shinin' so bright
The magic of the Holidays is when his family shone brighter than the brightest star in the sky. And over the years it's become his favorite time of the year. She got distracted by Titus and Ace as they had come back up from the Batcave to cause a bit of mayhem. The timer for the final batch of cookies went off so Bruce stepped in and grabbed a set of oven mitts before taking the final tray out of the oven so they wouldn't burn.
He took them out and was met with his wife smiling at him no she wasn't angry just happy for the assist while she dealt with the dogs. Good god he loved her smile.
You don't need a chimney
Cause I'll be your fire
Once the cookies cooled and were put away he pulled her in for a hug and kiss. "Your warm" Marinette said into his sweater
"Only for you" He whispered holding her a little tighter
Let's put a kiss at the top of your list
We can be naughty or nice
"So do you think that the kids will like the surprise" Marinette asked
"I think they'll love it" Bruce said before bringing her in for a kiss before moving to more dangerous waters.
"Not tonight Bruce we have to be up early tomorrow remember how Dick is on Christmas?" Marinette told him moving out of his grip.
"I'm actually surprised that he isn't here already" Bruce sighed knowing how much Dick loved Christmas.
Don't worry baby (Oh no no)
I'll be your Santa tonight
Bruce swept Marinette off her feet and took her to their room so they could cuddle each other till they fell asleep. He had faith in his children to be safe for one night.
I don't need no presents
Tied up with pretty bows
I got everything I need
When I'm holding you so close
He leaned into her touch as she combed her fingers through his hair. It never failed to calm him down and this was no exception. "Are you sure that you don't want anything this year?" Marinette asked him
"No this is more than enough" Bruce sighed as he shifted positions so his head was above her belly, "Besides you've already given me the best present any man could ask for"
He caressed her face before lifting her shirt to kiss her stomach.
From now until forever
He couldn't stop smiling at the present she'd given him this year.
Every Christmas Eve
It only made him appreciate her that much more. And he would always show it to her till the day they died.
Baby, you can believe in me
(Yes you can)
'Cause I'll bring the magic
I'll bring the lights
I'll make you a star
At the top of the tree
Shinin' so bright
You don't need a chimney
'Cause I'll be your fire
Let's put a kiss at the top of your list
We can be naughty or nice
Don't worry baby (Oh no)
I'll be your Santa tonight
"My only regret is that the only family won't be here to get the news tomorrow" Bruce sadly said
"They'll find out just not like how we planned" Marinette told him
Mistletoe
The lights down low
When I hold you in my arms
You'll be the one getting caught
Kissin' Santa Claus (Ooh ooh ooh)
Yes you will, pretty baby
Baby
Bruce let a small smile grace his features. "Any hopes on what it will be?" Bruce asked
"I just want a healthy baby Bruce everything else comes second but another girl wouldn't be to bad" Marinette told him
"I'm hoping for another boy" He smiled before going to her eye level to kiss her once again.
Now I'll bring the magic
I'll bring the lights
I'll make you a star
At the top of the tree
Shinin' so bright
You don't need a chimney
No, 'cause I'll be your fire
He smiled he couldn't wait till next Christmas to roll around so he could celebrate with the new addition.
It's Christmas Eve
Turn down the tree
And whisper your heart's delight
'Cause I got you baby
Yes, I do
The lights outside had been turned off before they came to bed. So they just waited to hear their youngest three go to bed so they could fall asleep.
I'll be your Santa tonight
Yeah, I'll be your Santa tonight
Ooooooh, baby
I'll be your Santa
Ooh yes I will
This was really going to be one miraculous Christmas in Gotham.
