"Should you do this?"
"Wally's a good guy. He'll raise him right."
"But leaving a baby on someone's doorstep? That's a bit cliche. Don't ya think?
"Just give me the note."
A note was handed to the mother of the baby. Regret was steaming all over the friend's face. "It's not right. Wally has a future also."
"He chose to stick his penis inside of me. I had to give birth. He can at least raise the baby so that I can live the life I was meant to live." She placed the note on top of the baby's stomach.
"Didn't you say yes?"
"That does not matter." A noise was heard from inside the house. "Quick. We have to get out of here. By my sweet baby boy. I'll always remember you."
And the two girls vanished into the night. A mister Barry Allen opened the door seconds later. He was surprised to find a baby carrier with a giggling baby boy inside, wrapped in blankets, on his doorstep. He lifted the baby out of the carrier.
"What are you doing here, little guy?" It was then he noticed the note that had fallen.
Dear Wally,
I do love you. And I do love this baby. But I have dreams and goals that can't be accomplished with a baby around. Please forgive me. I don't think you'll know who I am. I am hoping you slept with too many girls nine months ago to know who I am. I'm sorry. But I can't have you find me. Take care of our baby boy. I named him Ethan. But you can name him whatever you desire. I said goodbye to our baby already. I wish I could say goodbye to you. I'm rambling at this point. But know I am sorry that your life is now over.
Barry's eyes are ready to explode out of his skull. He calmly places baby Ethan back into his carrier. He carries the carrier, with the baby in it, inside. He looks at his wife. She didn't notice the baby.
Barry shouts, "WALLY!"
Wally comes running. Eyes wide. Breathing heavy. "What Uncle Barry?"
"I am trying to stay calm." Barry takes a deep breath.
Wally notices the baby in the baby carrier. He asks, "Whose kid?"
Barry's head snaps upward, glare present. "Whose kid?" He get's louder. "WHOSE KID?" He quiets down. "Wally. Read this note." Barry hands Wally the note. Wally reads the note aloud.
"Dear Wally,
I do love you. And I do love this baby. But I have dreams and goals that can't be accomplished with a baby around. Please forgive me. I don't think you'll know who I am. I am hoping you slept with too many girls nine months ago to know who I am. I'm sorry. But I can't have you find me. Take care of our baby boy. I named him Ethan. But you can name him whatever you desire. I said goodbye to our baby already. I wish I could say goodbye to you. I'm rambling at this point. But know I am sorry that your life is now over."
"I don't… Uncle Barry? This has to be a mistake!"
Barry takes another deep breath. "Wally. Are you a virgin?"
Wally looks like a deer in headlights. His biggest secret is coming into the light. "I am not a virgin." Tears prick his eyes.
"Wally, honey?" Iris stands up. She can't believe her ears. All Wally is capable of is nodding his head.
"Wally. You aren't just saying that right? To be cool? You really lost your virginity?" Barry questions.
"When I was thirteen."
"Oh my lord." Iris gasps.
"Okay. Wally. I'm sorry I yelled."
Wally breaks down in tears. He falls to the ground, clutching his knees. "I'm only sixteen. This can't be happening. Uncle Barry, I swear. I always wore protection. I was always safe."
Barry bends down to be eye level with Wally. "It's gonna be okay. First things first, we'll get a paternity test to make sure you are the father."
"Is there any way to know who the mother is Wally?" Iris whispers. "She can't escape the responsibility."
Wally takes a few deep breaths. Once calm enough, he explains. "Nine months ago was January. I slept with at least six girls that month. February? More than that."
"Okay. We'll find her Wally. Let's get to the hospital and get that test done."
Wally wipes the tears from his face. "Alright."
That was two weeks ago. The results came back. Wally was the father. Thus far, he's been able to keep the baby a secret from his teammates. But secret's like this never last.
Now, he's on the phone, trying to get his uncle to babysit.
"Please, Uncle Barry. I need you. I have to go to the cave. Aunt Iris is still at work."
"Well so am I, Wally. You are just gonna have to take the baby with you to the cave."
"I don't want the team to know about this."
"Well, you had sex. Now you have to sleep in that bed for life. You can't leave Ethan alone. And you also have a responsibility to the team. Make it work Wally."
"He won't stop crying though?"
"Wally, he's a baby. Baby's cry. Now I have to go."
That was the end of that. Wally hung up the phone. Packed a bag of diapers and formula. Placed the crying child in the carriage. Begged one last time. "Please stop crying. Just for a second." He was met with even louder cries. He checked his phone again. Dick and Artemis are blowing his phone up. He has to go. Tears fall freely down his face.
As Wally approaches the Zeta tube, he is full blown crying. He had to stop multiple time to attempt to shush the baby. He rocked Ethan. Changed Ethan's diaper. Fed Ethan. Nothing seemed to work. He even yelled at Ethan to shut up. Ethan's response was to cry louder.
Wally backs himself into the Zeta Tube, which is an old phone booth. Once himself and the child are comfortably inside, he punches in the code for the cave. He is announced. And before anyone could notice the crying child, they are yelling at Wally.
Robin noticed first. He noticed the crying child and then noticed that Wally himself was crying.
"Dude, you okay?" Robin asked tentatively.
Wally's head snapped up. Tears are clearly seen now. "It won't shut up. I tried everything. This damn thing won't shut the fuck up."
"Language Wallace," Canary says- disapprovingly.
Wally started to laugh. Then stops suddenly. "Don't. Just don't tell me about language. I'll say whatever the goddamn hell I feel like. This child hates me. It won't stop crying."
Canary sighs. "Whose child is it. Why would you bring the baby to the cave?"
Wally lets out a loud sob. "He's mine. Uncle Barry couldn't watch him today. You guys needed me here."
"Like your real baby?" M'gann asks, unsurely.
All Wally did was nod. "Please someone make him stop crying."
Robin acts first. "What's his name?" Robin asks as he lifts the child out of the carriage.
"Ethan," Wally whispers.
"Awe, wittle baby Ethan is giving his daddy trouble. Why you do that?" Robin talks in a cute baby voice as he tickles Ethan's stomach. After a few moments, the child stops crying. Laughter replaces the loud sobbing. Robin starts bouncing the baby softly in the air. Again in a baby voice, he tells Ethan, "tell daddy. You just wanted to play with awesome Uncle Robin." The baby laughs more.
Wally wipes the tears from his eyes. He even giggles. "Thank you." He whispers.
Dick brushes Wally off. "It's no problem bud. I wish you told me sooner that I'm an uncle. I love babies."
"I'm embarrassed," Wally admits.
"Nothing to be ashamed of. You didn't step away from the challenge." Artemis says suddenly. A soft smile on her face.
"Everyone makes mistakes Wally. We all need help. Let us, your friends, help you- bud." Robin add's.
M'gann gushes. "Can I hold the baby?"
Wally nodes, a smile now present on his face. "Sure Megalicious."
"You should probably stop the flirting." Artemis teased. "Probably how you got into this mess, eh, Walman?"
"Yeah. Actually. You're probably right!"
