A/N: I don't own Young Justice but I'm glad it's coming back so I hope you enjoy the story.

Grown-ups

The shine of the sun was forcing me to wake up but I tried to ignore it, but destiny had other plans as I felt little hands try to shake me. I opened my eyes and saw Jesse sitting on the bed where Wally should be her blond hair shining in the sunlight. Why was she always awake so early in the morning and why does she always have to make sure everyone else is awake when she is. She stopped shaking me when she saw that and a big smile grew on her face.

"Good morning Mommy," She said.

"Good morning Sweetheart. Do you know where Daddy is?"

She shrugged. "I don't know he was gone before I woke up." She told me.

"Okay,"

"I'm hungry; can we have pancakes for breakfast?"

"You're always hungry." I pointed out. She started to pout and look away. I'm always shocked there's enough food in the world to feed those two. "Let me get dressed and I'll make your pancakes."

"Okay Mommy." She said giving me a kiss on the cheek and running off to her room. I pulled myself out of bed and got ready for the day. When I picked up my pajamas to put them in the dirt cloths I noticed a post it note on the back of the shirt. I took it off and read 'Superhero stuff'. He was always great with details. I crumbled the note and threw it away. I put the clothes away and walked over to the kitchen to start breakfast. As soon as I pulled the pot out of the cupboard Jesse was already sitting at the table. I started to make the pancakes when my thoughts went back to Jesse and Wally. She acts just like him it's almost scary. It's like even when he leaves I'm with the mini version of him in girl form. I always wonder what she'll do when she gets older will she pretend to be normal or fallow into our path and decide to be a hero. It's hard to imagine anyone wanting to hurt her but if that's what she wants to do it she'll probably be like me and let not one get in her way of what she wants to do.

I put an extra plate of pancakes in the microwave knowing Wally and then brought our plates to the table. She already started devouring everything on the plate before I even got a bite of my own.

"If you keep eating that fast one day you'll end up choking and before I think of helping you I will say I told you so." I warned her.

"Oh don't worry about me I'll be fine." She said confidently and then quickly went back to eating. Then the other speedster came through the door. Jesse ran over to him and gave him a hug. She was such a daddy's girl and he was wrapped around her tiny little fingers. They came back to the table.

"So where are my pancakes?"

"You're lucky I know that you always manage to make it home when it's time to eat. It's in the microwave."


I was sitting down on a park bench watching Jesse at the playground. I sensed that someone sat down right next to me I thought it was another mom trying to start a conversation at first until I felt an arm go behind my back. I turned my head to see Wally.

"Hey Beautiful."

"Hey. Nice note you left me this morning it was overwhelming with details."

"It was the best I could do."

"Right, but I'm actually happy you here because with you around I could relax and not deal with a tiny hyperactive speedster every second. She's such a daddy's girl."

"Yeah right she's definitely a momma's girl. You should see her when you leave she freaks out."

"I don't believe you."

"Living with blonds makes life so hard you guys have to make everything so difficult." I rolled my eyes.

"That's only because we have to deal with a difficult red head."

He smiles and the put his forehead on mine. "You know I love you right?"

"Yeah I know and I guess I love you too but you can't take my word on that." I said teasingly. "Why would ask me that?" I asked now suddenly wondering about how strange it was he would bring that up on a nice sunny day at the park.

"No reason." I glared at him. "I'm telling you the truth, I just haven't told you that in a while and I don't want you to forget that I do."

"Becoming a dad has made you soft." I pointed out. "It's a good thing though because you didn't know how many times I had to resist punching you because you were so stubborn I mean you're still stubborn but it's much more tolerable." I teased.

"Well at least I'm a decent liar."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"That you're a horrible liar like in Bialya when you got confused with a movie."

"Look this shoes how stubborn you are. That was over 10 years ago I can't believe you still remember that."

"How could I forget it that was the worst lie I've ever heard."

"It wasn't a lie, I mean if it was you wouldn't be here right now."

"Oh I knew you couldn't kill your ninja boyfriend." I elbowed him.

"You can't take my word on the whole me loving you back thing now."

"Right so you married me for a complete other reason."

"Yep, at first I was just in it for the sex and then you proposed and I thought I'm not getting any younger so I might as well marry you." I said messing with him even more. He rolled his eyes this time.

"I can't wait until you tell Jesse that story."

"No I will use my horrible lying skills and tell her the one about how you made a complete fool of yourself when we first met." I said sarcastically.

"I actually prefer the other one now." I ended up laughing thinking about that time we first met.


I was laid on the bed under the covers already reading some silly romance book Megan got me to read. I looked up from my book when I heard Wally's footsteps come near the room. "So you finally got her to go to sleep?"

"Yep." He said coming over to lay down next to me. I went back to reading and couldn't get past this silly line for some reason. "Hey Artemis," He said interrupting me,

"What?" I asked turning my head to look at him again. Instead of saying anything he pressed his lips against mine. "I'm reading." I said interrupting him.

"Oh come on you can read it later."

"Alright but you're the one that has deal with Megan's wrath when I don't finish it in time." I said.

"I think I'll live."

He kissed me again moving himself so that he leaned over. He lips were warm and felt familiar against mine. I moved my book away so I can put my hands through his red hair. I knew what he wanted to do tonight not that I'm blaming him it has been a while since the last time we did anything. Before we even got anywhere a phone went off. I pulled away and put my hand back down on the bed.

"That's your phone." I said a little disappointed. He let out a huge sigh and got out bed so he can answer it. After the phone call he looked over at me. "I know and I love you too. Maybe next time Flash." He gave me a quick kiss on the check before he changed and ran off to save the day.

A/N: Hi thanks for reading and it would be an amazing pleasure if you review. So I kind of based this story of a crazy theory that I had that probably won't be true but it's a theory so it's ok if I am completely off . So basically since this is Earth 16 and they've changed the ages and even created characters I thought if Wally and Artemis ever ended up together and had a child it could be Jesse Quick even though her last name is Chambers it could happen but it probably won't and I'm ok with that.
