Artemis POV
"I would like to take this dress." I stated to Rachael behind the counter she looked at the dress carefully and spoke, "Good choice this is from our new selection of dress that came in a few weeks ago."
"Oh, really? What's the name?" I ask.
"Spitfire." she said with a smile. "I don't know what it is but this dress seems perfect for you." she says while handing me my new dress.
"Artemis?!"
UGHH that voice. It can't be. He shouldn't be here.
"Artemis Lian Crock, if you don't come talk to me I'm going to cause a scene!"
He wasn't joking. He would do it and he would fully succeed at it.
I excused myself from Rachael and told M'gann and Raquel to find bridesmaid dresses themselves.
"Alright Dad. I'm here." I said walking toward my muscular fraternal unit. "Let's have a little walk." he says with a large smirk.
I walked out the door ready for him at any moment.
Wally POV
"Wait, 'mated' as in 'sex' mated or just second base?" I inquired.
Kaldur sat down near the dressing rooms. "Sex. Raquel and I had...sex!" he said the last word a little loudly but went back to whispering.
"Kal, I'm glad your living life and taking some chances." Roy said walking towards us with Lian was strapped to Roy's chest in a baby carrier.
"Whoa Red, your looking as masculine as ever." I tease and Kal even smiles a bit. Then Roy stares at Kal's neck and his smile fades away. "How..."
"Zee's spell." I said filling him in.
"Oh, anyway Wally you won't be saying that when you have kids. Especially if they're speedsters." Roy says then Lian randomly squeals like a little pig and continues to play with her stuff kangaroo.
"So is she your first?" Roy asks. "No, I've ma- had sex before. But so far she was the best." he says.
"Kal to have say she was the 'best' you have to have done it more than two times." I say laughing a little thinking I was correcting him.
He looked bashfully and mumbled, "Five."
"YOU DOG!" I yelled. "Congrats, never knew you had it in you, playboy." Roy said.
"She says she wants to see me again." Kaldur says a little more triumphantly.
"Ohh so Raquel want that Atlantean d-"
"Yo, my kid is right here!" Roy says interrupting me.
"Like you don't swear like sailor when a basketball game is on." I scolded.
Lian then whimpered a bit and held her arms out to me. I picked her up and started talking to her, "Are you glad that your Uncle Wally is holding you?" I asked playfully.
She laughs giddily and I realized I really love playing with kids. Sure sometimes they're annoying but I want kids as soon as possible.
My phone then rings and I saw that it was Artemis calling.
"Hey babe, what's up?" I asked nonchalantly. "Wally West your marring my daughter without my consent?!" said a evil voice.
"Sportsmaster?" I yell and hush at the same time. "Come to the diner on 43rd street Flash Boy." I ran out of the store forgetting I had Lian in my hands.
Artemis POV
"So would you like to explain to me why you said yes?" Lawrence asks while sitting across from me at the booth.
"Because I love him." I stated bluntly. I loved Wally and everything about him.
"Sweetie, you should know he only loves your body and feels pity for you. Break off the wedding and come back to the Shadows." he says eating another piece of his apple pie.
"Tempting but I'll have to pass." I said taking a sip of my coffee. Just then, Wally rushes in with an overly excited Lian in his arms. He quickly sat in the booth making me scoot over. "WhatdidImiss?" he asked quickly.
"Oh so that's the reason you said yes." I followed the direction of my father's eyes and he was starring at the little girl with red hair and Asian features.
"No! That's Jade and Red Arrow's daughter, Lian. I'm an aunt not a mother." I explain quickly. Then Wally turns to me and say, "You say it as if you don't want any children."
"Oh wow. The young assassin doesn't want children. What a surprise." Lawrence says. He get's up and throws some money on the table. "West, I may not have been the greatest father but if you hurt my daughter in any way I will gut you and use your innards for my Christmas tree decorations." he then left after his gruesome speech.
"Well that was something." I said as I got out of the booth. I felt an arm grab me. "Do you or do you not want kids?" Wally asked. I then saw Lian playing with the salt and pepper shakers.
"I do, but I'm just not good with kids." I say softly. "Artemis your great with Lian. What makes you think you can't handle a child?" Wally asks while Lian sleeps gently on his chest.
"I only see Lian a few times out of the week but a child of mine everyday? I can't handle that." I said finally.
"That's why you'll have me. I'm here for anything that scares you." he said while wrapping his free arm around my waist. I lied my head on his shoulder. I knew what he said was sincere and even if I didn't want to have kids immediately, I wanted to have them a special speedster.
