Sorry, I did it a long time ago and forgot to publish. Not the best by any means but hope you like.

"So Robin, she works here?" Wally pointed at the little card displaying the information. He had come to the future married couple's house for advice considering Robin was the only one who was near the gates of marriage yet.

"Yep. And it's Nightwing!" He sighed at how people still called him Robin. It was an archaic name, a name full of hurt and pain, a reminder of his past, his past mentor.

"Hey Wally?"

Wally looked at his friend curiously.

"Hmm?"

"Don't you dare hurt her again." The tone was more than just a warning. It was a promise of pain to come for the speedster. "She gave up absolutely everything for you and you left her. And you never contacted her. Why?"

Flash sighed.

"I guess I needed to figure out some things and when I finished, I realised that all she had needed was a push. She never needed me. And I wasn't going to be any help to her. I got her out of that mess and that's all that needed to happen. I guess I figured that she didn't need me anymore, that I was just going to cock things up again."

He received a swift punch to the face. Wally glared at the ex-boy wonder, cracking his jaw to get feeling back into his face. "I know why you did that but I know you have a lecture stored up in there Bird-Brain, so spill." He rubbed his cheek already feeling a bruise to his face.

Nightwing breathed out exasperated.

"She did need you. She went hero for about three months. Then she had to stop. She just didn't come back. And we never pressured her. She wanted to be normal. You made her feel special and then after all you did, you abandoned her just as she started doing everything you wanted her to, when she became the person you always told her she could be. " The raven-haired male softly said looking deep into the eyes of his comrade.

"Wait, She-"

"Ask her. Not me. It was to do with Madeline."

"Who-"

"Again. Ask her." Robin checked his watch. "Kori's parents are arriving soon. I have to go buy new sheets for the beds. We'll have to cut this short. Or she'll cut me short." The bad pun went un-noticed by both the boys who were far to deep in thoughts about their respective ex-titan girlfriends.

Wally nodded looking down at the address in his hand. He willed himself to remember it. Just in case he slipped it into his back pocket. She was going to kill him.

"Heya Soph."

She knew that voice and if there weren't kids in the room she would have hexed him in a millisecond. Turning around she saw Wally all dressed down and out of his uniform. She had to admit he had grown up to be a fine piece of – work...yes...work.

His ginger hair was about three inches longer than she remembered and was covering those beautiful azure blue eyes she had grown to love in her time as his girlfriend. He was toned too, taller and even though his freckles were still noticeable he seemed tanned too. However he was still pale in comparison to many of the other men such as Roy or Richard.

"Leave. Now. Before I have to Hex you in front of the kids." She commanded. He didn't listen. She hadn't expected him to.

"So this is Ryan?" He looked at the little cutie who was the exact opposite of Wally, tanned -or orange to be correct- and dark haired with green eyes. Sophie groaned at the sight of the Tamaranian. She picked up Ryan and put him back in the play pen.

"Ry. No breaking out. No flying out. No using your screwdriver and being like Tommy." She reprimanded the toddler who gave her a pouty look.

"No fun." Wally mimicked. The look of unbridled hate in her eyes made Wally whistle and quickly change the subject.

"So who does this belong to?" He pointed at one of the kids in the play pen with Ry.

"Poison Ivy." Wally looked incredulous. The little redhead girl was pretty normal looking.

"And him?" White eyes and blue hair.

"Sprite. You might not know her."

And eventually he found out about all the secret relationships that people had.

"And who are you?" Sophie turned around to not only hear Wally use the 'Baby' voice but also speak to the one kid she hadn't wanted him to. "Madiwine." The little girl answered. She had dark strawberry hair and the most royal blue eyes he had ever seen.

"You have very pretty hair. And eyes." Oh Lord why? "Who's you're mommy?"

Sophie thought she was about to faint as Maddy pointed at her. Wally's eyes followed the finger and stared. The ex villain had never been so scared before. Her mouth was set in a grim line in fear of Wally West's reaction.

Wally carefully put the toddler back into the pen. He then walked over to the main owner of the care centre. A pain that he hadn't meant to show flared brightly at the ex Hive Five leader.

"How old is she?" There was no humour in his voice.

"Two years old."

"I see. You're obviously very happy with your family." It was at this that she noticed what he had bought with him, Orchids and a single rose.

"Sorry for bothering you." He turned to walk away.

She had a daughter? Hell she's probably engaged. I'm sorry I left you Jinxie.

"Wait." She stopped him in his tracks. "God I'm going to regret this. Don't you want to know who the father is? Who mended my broken heart?" She didn't mean for it to sound like that.

"Jinxie, I don't know whether I could handle it, to be honest." Sadness in her once fiance's eyes. Even as enemies, she couldn't bear to see the devastation in his eyes and so now she had to make it right. She had to tell him the truth but that was the one thing she had been hoping not to tell him.

"Ask me." She was challenging him. And while he stood there contemplating, she picked up the rose and smelt it deeply, just like she always did. A flash of the past came to her and the rose was dropped like it had burnt her. She couldn't deal with this right now. She would not cry. Not in front of him. Not in front of the children. And not because of some stupid boy in tight yellow spandex.

"Who is her father? Who melted the big bad witch's heart?" He couldn't help the bitterness creeping into his voice. It had all been his fault. He went off and started dating some new girl and now his heart was in pieces because of that mistake. And yet somehow he didn't want to change that one fact. Jinx was happy and that's what mattered. If his mistake led to some other man making Jinx happy then he had no right to want to change it. And yet still the thought was there. He knew ways of doing it. Should he try? No. No, he couldn't. He wouldn't. Not even for his own happiness.

"No-one melted the witch's heart." Her voice had raised a few octaves then as if she was suddenly aware of the seven children still scattered in her residence she lowered it.

"Who does she remind you of?"

Wally's first thought was himself. But she was too young. He voiced his opinions.

She hit her head with her hand, too annoyed at his stupidity to function. "Why do I bother?" She muttered.

"Ask her." Jinx bent down to talk to her almost three year old daughter. Wally shot her a look but nevertheless also bent down next to Madeline.

"Madeline. Hi, could you tell me who your daddy is?"

Maddy looked confused as if Wally was a simpleton then pointed back at Wally. She looked up at her mom to see if she was right and she was given a pat on the head and a promise of cookies. Wally choked. His? Madeline was his?

"Two Months. I was almost positive. I got the results back and was going to tell you the next morning. But no, Mr Hero had to save the rest of the world before his own girlfriend. You not only abandoned me, you abandoned your unborn child. And before you say anything, I know that you didn't know." She sighed before massaging her forehead.

"I have a daughter." Wally stated in shock. "With you. I have a daughter." He seemed to get a little more animated as he spoke.

Sophie leant backwards warily. She was unsure what he was going to do. If he hugged her she wouldn't be able to stop herself from either hexing him or giving in to him. Wally turned to her resembling a child half way between pure ecstasy and disappointment.

"If I had come here, without Jenny, if she had never existed, would you take me back? Would you have?" He corrected himself at the last moment. Sophie rubbed her temples again; this headache was really pissing her off, and bit her lip.

"You left." She muttered, yawning.

Wally grabbed her hand. She felt a sharp jolt rush through her body. All at once she realized just how much she had missed him and the way he held her, those eyes that she had a constant reminder of in her beautiful little girl, no, their beautiful little girl.

She zapped him.

"Wally, that's unfair. You can't ask me that sort of a question." If it had been three years earlier she would have blasted him half way across the planet and wouldn't have spoken to him, and yet after a few years of being subjected to alien puke and frequent near death experiences, to her he was just another thing she had to be calm about.

"We never really broke up." A small voice entered her thoughts and for a moment she assumed it was her own thought. The redhead had his head down seemingly enthralled by the stain on the only carpet in the studio. To be fair the stain was a striking rendition of Picaso's Guernica so it could be understood how he was so transfixed. However this wasn't the case.

"Wally! Go away. Take Madeline for a day if you want but I don't want to see you until the wedding. Go call your girlfriend. Spend time with your daughter. But don't bother me." And she turned away focusing on placing Ryan back in his 'cage.'

There was no response but she could hear the faint noise of Wally talking to Madeline and asking if she wanted to go to the fair.

"It's on all night. You should come." His voice was louder now, indubitably directed at his pink haired friend. She didn't respond and instead stacked the diapers along the walls.

Fifteen minutes later found Starfire comforting Sophie as she threw things around the room, breaking as many items as possible in a failing attempt to release the anger and hurt. It was a Tuesday and most of the children were far too busy napping to be bothered by their caretaker smashing up her studio. It was a common occurrence that something would shatter their nap times so during the one hour space that they had, every sound [apart from the sound of a cookie jar opening or the ice-cream man] was ignored.

"And he just wants to come waltzing back in. He has a girlfriend Star." Sophie rounded on her red headed friend. "He asked me to the fair!"

"Maybe you should go then."

Sophie slumped to the ground. "You're going to make me go aren't you?"

"Yes. I am."

"I don't want to. I don't want to fall in love with him again. I'm fine by myself, Star. Just let it be." Sophie was shattered; the past two days had taken a toll on her mental state. Starfire's loving arm was placed tightly around the pink haired witch and she hummed softly.

"Then don't go. It's your decision Jaya." It was unusual for anyone to ever call Sophie by her real name, the name she had uncovered four years ago when her dead beat father called in on her begging for money. The name Jaya reminded her that she was different and all she wanted was to be normal, to have a normal life, so she changed it. Legally she was still Jayashri Sophia Hudson but to she went by Sophie now.

"I'll go."
