Danny And Dick Being Twins - Tumblr Posts
When Maddie gave birth to Danny, she gave birth to twins. Unfortunately, one of the nurses didn't think she and Jack were parents material, and faked one of the twins deaths.
It was simple. There was another couple, both who had black hair and blue eyes, who had given birth to a stillborn the other doctors had taken away to attempt to resuscitate. They hadn't succeeded, and they were trying to steady themselves to tell the parents.
One John and Mary Grayson.
The nurse just...waited until the area was clear. All she needed was two minutes, maybe less. She might not have been able to save one of the twins, but this one she could save from being raised by a madwoman.
She swapped the babies.
She then came back with the stillborn and told the Fenton's it was one of the twins, happy and satisfied that she'd saved at least one of them.
John and Mary Grayson were told that their son had started breathing on his own, and that it was a miracle.
No one knew anything, because no one thought to look for anything. The doctors were so relieved that little Richard Grayson was not only alive, but had no neurological complications from lack of oxygen, that they didn't look into it. The Doctors that attended the Fentons were so relieved that the other twin hadn't fallen to SIDS that they, too, did not look into it.
No one told Danny that he'd had a twin in the womb. It didn't seem relevant.
One day, many years later, Dick decides to take an Ancestry test to see how many relatives he has.
John and Mary Grayson are not in the results at all.
