  Summary

  Dick had always been good with kids; had always been the first one to scoop a kid into his arms. So, really, he wasn't bothered that he ended up being the main caretaker of the family behind Alfred. Really, he wasn’t.
  Okay, so maybe he cared, but only when people called Bruce a father.
  Maybe there was always a deep-seated grudge around Bruce being seen as the parental unit of the Bat Family. Maybe.
