It was a month later and Conner and M'gann were setting up a nursery at the mountain.
"We need to think of names," M'gann said.
"You've been saying that for the last month," Conner said trying to figure out the crib.
"Yeah and we haven't thought of any." she said.
"We will," he said kissing her forehead. M'gann smiled at him.
"I like Emma." she suggested.
"Emma Morse-Kent," Conner said.
"No, Emma Kent," M'gann said.
"You don't want her to have your last name?" he asked.
"Yeah but someday that will be my last name," she said smiling. Conner softly kissed her on the lips.
"I love you." he said.
"I love you too," M'gann said.
Zatanna was staring in the mirror at her stomach. Dick walked in and smiled at her.
"Can you tell?" she asked turning sideways.
"Only a little." he said.
"I can not believe the doctor said that it's twins," Zatanna said turning towards him.
"Hey, relax," Dick said pulling her into a hug.
"I just can't believe this is happening." she said.
"I know Zee but we can't stop it now," he said softly rubbing circles on her back. Zatanna sighed and pulled away. Sitting down on the bed.
"I can't wait until we find out the genders," Zatanna said with a slight smile.
"You're only twelve weeks," Dick said.
"I know," she said. Zatanna suddenly felt something in her stomach. She grinned and grabbed Dick's hands placing them where she felt it. He laughed as he felt the twins kick.
"See this going to be a good thing." he said kissing her.
"If it's two boys I was thinking I kind of like the name Spencer," Zatanna said.
"I love it, John and Spencer," Dick said.
"Grayson," she finished.
"John and Spencer Grayson." he smiled.
Artemis and Wally sat in the cave silently. They had two cribs lying next to them on the floor and Artemis was avoiding Wally's gaze. Wally looked worse for wear.
"Are you going to say anything?" he asked.
"How are we supposed to be good parents if neither of us has any?" Artemis said looking into Wally's green eyes.
"Just because both of our dads are abusive doesn't mean we can't do this, give the twins the life they deserve." he said.
"How?" Artemis asked.
"By being better," Wally told her.
"How are we supposed to be better if we don't know how?" she asked.
"Well you have your mom and Oliver and I have my Aunt and Uncle." he said.
"We can't do this," Artemis said.
"We can figure this out," Wally said.
"Figure what out? You said that your dad can't get convicted because you don't have any scars or proof. Barry can't get you out of his custody because every judge thinks he's paranoid. Even as the Flash. We need to give the twins their best chance. We both came from broken homes. We don't know how to do this." she said.
"We'll learn." he said.
"We can not do this. I'm sorry but we can't." Artemis said.
"I need to go," Wally said getting up and going to the zeta beams. Tears streamed down both of their faces.
Wally walked up to Kit who was sitting on her porch. She immediately saw the tears and ran to hug him.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Artemis wants to give the twins up," Wally said.
"Why don't we get away from here?" Kit suggested. They soon arrived at their spot in the woods and sat down.
"She said that we both broken homes and we couldn't do it." he said.
"Wally I have known you for a long time and I think that you would make a great dad. But you are sixteen and you have never seen what a good parent is supposed to be," she said. Wally looked at her.
"You also put on an immature act every time someone starts to see how broken you are. Of course, Artemis is going to say that you can't do it because a child can not raise a child." Kit said.
"People do it all of the time." he said.
"And how do those kids turn out?" she asked.
"I don't know," Wally said.
"They might turn out fine and they might not the point is that you have to decide if you feel like they would turn out better with you or someone else." Kit said.
"What if we screw them up?" he asked.
"What if you don't? What if their new home is a broken home? What if they have your speed? What if." she said, "You can't have all the answers."
"What if I can't do this?" Wally asked.
"When those babies are born, you'll know. Until then it is purely speculation." Kit said, "Talk to Artemis. Who, by the way, I still haven't met."
"You will." he said.
"Sure." she said.
"How about you join the team and then you get to meet everybody?" Wally suggested.
"You will not drop it." Kit said, "You're relentless."
"Come on it will help with your self-esteem." he said.
"What can you do? Oh, I turn into an itty bitty black cat even though I'm supposed to turn into a panther. No thanks." she said.
"Always with the power thing," Wally said.
"I'm a runt let's face it." Kit said pouting. Wally rolled his eyes and hugged her.
"Well you're my favorite runt." he said with a smile.
"Thanks." she said.
"Katherine..." Wally started.
"Wallace?" Kit asked.
"Why is this so hard?" he asked.
"What?" she asked.
"All of this, everything," Wally said.
"If life were easy or fair anybody could do it." Kit said.
"If life were fair Artemis and I would be married and out of college before we had kids. My mom wouldn't have left. My dad would have been kind and not done the things he did. I would've been loved." he said.
"Sounds nice," she said. Wally laid down on the ground and looked at the tree tops.
"Yeah it does," he said. They sat in silence for a few minutes before it was broken.
"My parents want to find a way back to our planet but I like it here." Kit said.
"Do you think they will?" Wally asked.
"It doesn't matter I won't go with them." she said.
"All you need to trick them is a feral black cat," he said. Kit chuckled.
"Yeah, preferably one with rabies." she laughed. After a minute Wally looked over at his good friend.
"We're always going to stay like this right?" Wally asked.
"We better." she said playfully punch his arm.
"I love you." he said.
"I love you too." Kit said, "Does Artemis know about Ava and Willow?"
"No and I'm not telling her, she doesn't need more reasons," Wally said.
"If you really love her then she needs to know." she said.
"Even if I wanted to tell her I don't think I could get the words out." he said.
"It wasn't fair what happened to them and I wish that you would have told your uncle Barry what really happened." Kit said.
"Don't think you wanted too?!" Wally asked.
"I'm sorry I mentioned it," she said. Tears fell down both of their faces as they sat there in silence.
Conner walked up to Clark who smiled at him.
"Hey, how's mom with the baby?" he asked.
"She's good. Convinced we're having a boy." Clark said.
"M'gann came up with a name," Conner said.
"Oh yeah, what is it?"Clark asked.
"Emma." he answered.
"That's beautiful son," Clark said smiling warmly.
"Thanks, so I was wondering. Since M'gann and I are having these babies together. Do you think it would be okay if I proposed?" Conner asked.
"I think that's a great idea. If it's not weird we could go ring shopping." Clark suggested.
"I would love that," Conner said.
"You should probably ask J'onn and Marie first, though," Clark said.
"Good plan." Conner agreed.
Dick walked down to the bat cave and smiled at Bruce and Jason training.
"How's it going?" Dick asked.
"I'm not as good as you," Jason grumbled.
"I think you're doing great. Right, dad?" Dick said.
"Room for improvement," Bruce said walking over to the bat computer. Dick shook his head and gave Jason a thumbs up and then stuck his tongue out at Bruce. Jason laughed to himself and walked over to Dick.
"So how are the babies?" he asked.
"The same as they were when you asked an hour ago," Dick said with a chuckle.
"I'm just so excited to be an uncle, I never thought I would be," Jason said sheepishly.
"I think it's great that you are so concerned about them," he assured him with a smile and a pat on the shoulder. Jason returned the smile.
"Can you help me train?" he asked.
"I don't see why not." Dick agreed.
Artemis was cleaning up the baby stuff that was scattered around the cave floor when the zeta tube called out Wally.
"Good you can help me pick this up." she said with a hint of venom.
"If our relationship is going to work I need to be honest with you. Which means you need to know every aspect of my life. So I need you to come with me." Wally said.
"Where are we going?" Artemis asked.
"To see an old friend of mine," he said.
Comment who you think Ava and Willow are and what happened to them. Also who you think Artemis and Wally are going to see.
I also wanted to know if you would want some flashbacks and if so what of.
Comment on whether you want Wally and Artemis to keep or give up their kids and what you think the genders of the babies are going to be.
Sorry, I'm needy.
