"You sure can, Echo is very right. And she looks great in a bathing suit too, no mistaking that." Had to be appreciated, Edward felt. "Maybe you and I can go to a beach somewhere soon, we can take Echo and Query. Might be a fun little holiday. Maybe we'll take Jonathan along too, he always complains about Gotham being too cold and rainy anyway."
Especially in winter, or basically as soon as Halloween was over. Jonathan really was a walking cliché. "What dessert shall we have today? I already know what we'll have for dinner, but what about dessert?"
"I want... oh! We could make it together. Like a chocolate cake maybe? They have them in boxes and they're really tasty." She was sure her dad could make something amazing without box mix but she felt it was helpful to offer an easy solution. "Everyone likes chocolate cake. Unless they're allergic, I guess, but they probably like the smell at least."
Maybe Jonathan would like the cake and then like her. And then her dad would have a boyfriend. "If you date boys and then you marry a boy and then boy is your husband... what do I call him? Is he also my dad?" Or was there another word? "Or maybe another word. Not mom, obviously. Hmm."
Edward coughed, choked on it, and ended up coughing more. It took him a while to get that under control, tears in his eyes and, no, he had not been ready for that. "Oh wow..." Dom. What was his life? "That's-- I think maybe just call him Jon. Or whatever you two agree on together, yeah? If... I don't know about us getting married, so."
Yeah, this had all been a bit much in a short time. "Usually people don't want to stay with your amazing dad for that long. I'm a lot to take."
"I think you're special and you could marry any boy you want." Stephanie was on his side, determined to cheer him on. "Then I can be flower girl at the wedding!" Maybe she was cheering him on cause she wanted a nice party but hey, she was Eddie's girl. They had similar wants in the end.
"Today, we make cake. Maybe next year, marriage! Like Cinderella, it'll be a cool event and everyone will come and see my dress." And she'd get more cake then too.
"...maybe we just go to someone else's wedding. I'll find us someone and you'll be their flower girl." Maybe he could just hope for Selina to finally tie down the Bat, that would take care of that. "Now, no talk about weddings or marriage in front of Jonathan, promise?"
He would never hear the end of that. "And you can keep puzzling, sweetheart, but daddy will go make that chocolate cake now. We're going to have Southern food today, so you will get a lot of your beloved fried stuff."
And he had opted to just get take-out for this. Seemed like it would save him Jonathan complaining about things tasting healthy.

She frowned. "Oh! I could call him dom!"
