Royal pains :: Railover85

[KingCrowley]

Jason knew there was a possibility of him being King if Dick couldn't do it, he always said he'd just give the throne to Tim because he was more interested in being Captain of the Royal Guard, then his parents would lecture him on needing discipline for that and it seemed so much less exciting. The boy kicked and squirmed at every smack, yelping in pain from the sting.

"F-For agitating the horses and lying to you, Mother!" he answered and tried to push himself up.


Alfred knew Jason didn't want to be King, and he figured the throne would then be passed onto Tim if Dick didn't wan the title either. He made a lunge at Tim and smiled when he complained that he always got hit, "You just need a little more practice. Why not go and see if the King will spar with you now?" he asked. He needed to wake Damian up from his nap now anyway.


Bruce looked down at his daughter and smiled softly. "I was never mad to begin with, Princess." he answered and gave her another cuddle, making sure she knew she was loved, just as all of his children were. He and Jen loved each and every one of their children unconditionally, even when they were naughty.

Jen knew that Jason didn't want to be king, and she understood it. She didn't want to be Queen either, she was third in line in her own throne before he eldest brother stepped out of line. But she married a first in line, so she became queen. She wanted Jason to do what made him happy, but she wanted all her kids prepared if they had to step up. It was their job as their parents to make sure they were prepared for anything.

"Very good Jason," She said when he answered her, he had a habit of not answering so she was always glad when he did on the first try. She gave him a few more smacks with her hand before picking up the spoon, "Alright Jay, just thirteen left," She told him, since he usually got one for each year of his life.


Tim wasn't sure how becoming King really worked, he knew you could step out of line but he didn't know why someone would. He didn't really see Dick stepping out of line though, he seemed intent on being King. He sighed a little when Alfred told him to go find his father, "He's probably busy with Cassie," He said sadly.


Cassie smiled a little through her remaining tears when Bruce assured her that he was never actually mad at her, "OK daddy," She said and enjoyed her little cuddle with him. She knew her parents loved her and her brothers, but when they were in trouble they got worried they wouldn't anymore. After a little longer with her daddy she looked up at him, "Can I go play now, daddy?"

[KingCrowley]

Jason whimpered when his Mother told him that he just had thirteen left and then she picked up that horrid wooden spoon. He already had tears in his eyes and he knew he'd be bawling by the time his Mother finished with his poor little backside.

Eventually the stinging swats came crashing down, and Jason began thrashing his legs and waving his arms, squirming from side to side like a boy possessed. "Owwww!!! Mamaaaaaaa!!!"



Alfred rose a brow, "I believe your sister is in a little bit of trouble, and when your Father is finished, he will want to spend some time with you. You will never know unless you try to ask." he explained and put his sabre away, hoping Tim did try to get Bruce to spar with him.


Bruce nodded his head when his little girl asked if she could go play, "Yes you may, but please stay inside the palace, if you go out you need to be with Tim, Dick or Jason." he explained and helped her off of his lap with another hug. Bruce then stood, wondering what else he should do that morning.

It was customary within the castle for the kids to get one swat with whatever implement for each year of age, sometimes they got more if they were really naughty, and often they got less for little things. But, with Jason, it seemed more often he got his age. Jen thought it was the best way to get him to learn, and that's why she did it.

It hurt her to hear him in such a state of distress, but this had to be done because he had been warned before. So she quickly gave him all thirteen, and when she was done she put the spoon down beside her and picked her boy up and held him close, "Shh, it's OK Jay... Mama's here..."


Tim always was nervous when he had to ask his parents for attention, he was afraid they would say no because they had other things to do. Because of this, he often missed out on time he could have spent with them. He nodded a little when Alfred told him he would know unless he asked, so he left and went outside his father's room. But he didn't go in, he just stood outside it.

Cassie smiled when she got permission to go play, even if she couldn't go outside right now. She didn't mind, she loved playing with her dolls in her room anyways. After her final hug she went out of the room and on the way to hers, when she saw Tim, "Hi Timmy!" She said to her brother as she went to her room. She wondered what he was doing.

[KingCrowley]

Jason was sobbing by the end of his spanking, promising to be a good boy and that he'd never lie again, and that he was sorry. His Mother scooped him up and held him close, and he hid his face in her chest, continuing to sob, his bottom stinging like crazy. After a little while, he was reduced to sniffles and he looked up at his Mother, something seemed to be troubling him, and that was evident by his sad eyes.

"Mama....do you love the horses more than you love me? Dick s-said you do..."


Bruce was about to leave his room when Tim came and stood in the door way with a nervous expression, at first Bruce thought he was there to say he'd done something wrong and confess but then he noticed that he probably just wanted to ask him something. He smiled and wrapped an arm around his little boy's shoulders, "Everything okay there, Timmy?" he asked softly.

Alfred walked up to the Nursery where Damian was sleeping and got out a new diaper, powder, wipes and cream. He always changed Damian's diaper after his naps, and then he fed him and let him play around the palace for a bit. He walked to the baby and gently shook his shoulder, "Prince Damian, time to wake."

[batmanfan76]

Jen expected her kids to be crying by the end of their spankings, so it no longer troubled her so much when they were this upset. When Dick and Jason were little she always thought she had hurt them more than she meant too, but now she knows better. So she just holds her boy close and rocks ever so slightly as she shushes him and tells him it's OK, that he's forgiven and it's over.

She was horrified and upset at the question Jason asked her, how could Dick say that to his brother, "Oh my sweet prince, no. I love you and your siblings far more than I love my horses," She promised him. Looks like she needed to have a talk with her eldest now...


Tim was always nervous about this stuff, his brothers said he got it from their mom since their dad was never nervous, but he didn't know if that was true. He almost considered walking away when Cassie saw him, and then his dad came out. He looked up at him as he knelt down and wrapped an arm around his shoulder, "Um... I was wondering... if you'd come spar with me... If you weren't busy and all," He slowly asked.


Damian was much like his dad in that he didn't like being woken up, he'd rather wake up when he wanted too (which would be never if he got his way). So he whined and squirmed a little when Alfred tried to wake him up after his nap, "Sweepy," He complained, curling into his favorite stuffed animal.

[KingCrowley]

Jason remembered this morning when Dick said his mother adored the Horses more than she adored him, and it had been troubling him ever since, maybe that was why he liked tormenting them so much, because he was jealous and resented them for getting his Mother's love instead. He snuggled close and listened as his Mother said she loved him and his siblings way more than her Horses.

"Good, I love y-you too M-Mama." he answered and rubbed his eyes tiredly.


Bruce looked down at his little lad when he asked if his Dad wanted to spar with him, the man smiled and nodded, "I'd love that Timmy." he answered and ruffled his hair. He always thought Tim and Dick were quite alike, more reserved and well behaved, he sometimes wished all their kids could be like that, only when they were naughty though, otherwise he loved their individuality.


Alfred rose a brow, how could one little boy put up so much fuss about sleeping and then not want to get up? He was so much like Bruce. "You need a nappy change." he told him simply, scooping him up and cradling him close. "And then something to eat, and then you may go and play with Cassie or with Tim." he explained, since Jason was too old now to enjoy the kind of things Damian would.

[batmanfan76]

Jen couldn't believe that Dick actually said that to one of his siblings, he was usually so level headed and well behaved. It really disappointed her, even if he was just joking around; that was not something to joke about. But he was gone for now, so she just focused on Jason. She held her boy close and kissed the top of his head when he snuggled close to her.

She looked down at him when he said he loved her and then rubbed his eyes, "How about you rest for a little while, my dear? I'll come and wake you before lunch is ready," She offered.


Tim figured that his dad would say he couldn't because he had to do something for the kingdom, so he looked visibly surprised when Bruce said he'd love too, "R-really?" He asked. He really liked the idea of spending time with him, but not if he didn't want to. He hadn't gotten to spend time with his dad lately, with Damian and Cassie need more attention.


Damian rubbed at his eyes and slowly woke up even though he didn't really want too. He let his nanny pick up him to go get him changed and just rested his head against his chest. He smiled some when told he would get to play with his siblings, "Wanna pway now," He said softly. He was still half asleep and all.

[KingCrowley]

Dick had just been joking around, but still it wasn't really a joking matter since Jason had taken it to heart. This wouldn't be the first time he was worried his parents didn't love him. He once ran away from the palace when his Mother got pregnant with Tim, because he thought they didn't want him. It took Bruce and Jen and the guards three days to find the five year old.

"Okay Mama." Jason answered, rubbing his sore bottom and then he climbed into his bed, laying his head down and then soon falling asleep.

Dick managed to destroy the dragon egg with some difficulty and then got back on his stallion, galloping back to the palace because he had a lot of lessons to do, including Latin, music and of course politics, he had to know the running of the land and everything. He got home and put his Horse away, noticing the other horses were missing. "What the?" he frowned before heading inside. "Mother, where are all the horses?"

Bruce always tried to spend time with his kids but Tim always seemed to be left out because he didn't require so much attention, he always felt bad about that. "Yes really, come on." he smiled, leading the boy down to the training room. "Have you been practicing, son?" he asked, grabbing a sabre and then handing one to Tim.

Alfred shook his head when Damian said he wanted to play now. "Not in a soiled nappy you're not." he told him, laying Damian on the changing station and cleaning him up before putting him in an outfit suitable for a prince. Alfred then kissed his head and set him in his high chair, "Now what would the young prince like to eat?"

[batmanfan76]

Jen knew how hard it was when a child thought their parent didn't love them as much as someone or something, so she didn't like it when her kids joked about that. She didn't even let them say that they loved one of them more than the other. So when Jason told her Dick said what he said, she was so upset with him it was unreal. She tucked Jason into his bed, kissed his head and left him to sleep. He would be in good spirits when he woke up.

She went down and waited by the stables for Dick, she wanted to talk with him as soon as he returned home, "Do not worry about the horses Richard, people went out to find them," She told him, her arms crossed across her chest. She didn't look happy with him that was for sure, "Care to tell me what you told your younger brother this morning?"


When Tim was little he was the center of attention, but when Cassie came and she had all her health problems he was no longer the center. As he got older he didn't mind, but sometimes he missed having all his parents attention. He grinned when Bruce assured him he wanted to spend time with him and followed him to the training room, where he picked up his sabre from before, "Oh yes sir, I've been practicing a little everyday like you said too," He promised him.


Damian looked up at Alfred and pouted some when he was told no to playing, but he didn't fight him when he was laid down on the changing mat. He had once and he fell off, so he never moved around a lot on it anymore. He was becoming more lively and giggly as he was put in his high chair, "Bananas!" He said when asked what he wanted to eat, it was his favorite snack.
