Here we go! And don't worry! Just keep reading!

"Daddy!" Evie called, walking about the house in search of her father. The toddler had already checked his lab where he was usually bustling about, but he hadn't been there, "Daddy!"

The girl paused, waiting for the gust of wind that came with the presence of the redhead. But there was none. Evie frowned ,put her hands on her hips, and stopped in the kitchen as it was her last place to check.

"DADDY!" She yelled as loud as she possibly could.

"EVIE!" Wally yelled, he was kneeled in front of her before she could blink, "What's wrong?! Are you okay? Are you-"

"Daddy I hungry," The blonde told him sourly, a hand held to her grumbling belly.

"Oh..." Wally's eyes softened. He and Artemis had been noticing some changes in their daughter for a little while now. Her reflexes were getting faster, much faster than a normal child of 3 years. And her appetite had been growing as well, she was starting to eat twice as much at each meal and hadn't gained a pound. The redhead stood up, taking Evie's hand in his own, "Well then, let's see what we have!"

"Nothing," She told him before they made it to the fridge. And when Wally peered in, he realized she was right. He had cleaned out the kitchen last night after a particularly tough patrol and neither him or Artemis had gone to the store to restock yet.

"How about..." He mused, glancing around the room for good measure, "We go to the store?" Wally grinned.

"Fun!" A smile spread across Evie's face.

"Race you to the car!" Wally laughed, jogging lightly to the garage.

"No fair! You the fastest!" Evie yelled as she ran after him.

Wally wondered how upset Artemis was going to be when she saw all the junk he and Evie were going to bring home.

Then again, who's to say it wouldn't be eaten by the time she got back from work anyway?

"Daddy! That!" Evie squealed, running away from his side to point excitedly at a box of brownies.

"We've already got cookies," Wally laughed as he reached her, absently tucking a loose strand of her curly blonde hair out of her face.

"Daddy," Her voice was stern, and the speedster held in a groan. How did she manage to sound exactly like Artemis?

"How about we get some chips for nachos?" He suggested, trying to distract the girl away from the brownies.

"Ohh!" Evies eyes lit up and she followed him eagerly to the chip aisle. Score! Wally thought to himself.

He wasn't really paying any attention to where he was going, his head was turned as he pushed the cart to watch as his daughter caught up to his side. Double checking to make sure she didn't have anything in her hands she planned to toss into the cart when he wasn't looking.

"Daddy," Evie said, pointing. Wally turned his attention back to where he was going but it was too late and his cart crashed noisily into another customer's cart.

"Oh I'm sorry!" Wally blanched, embarrassed as he pulled back to assess the damage of the roughened contents of his stash. The woman whose cart he ran into turned with a smile. She was a lithe asian woman that looked about the same age as himself.

"No It's totally fine! No harm done!" She said with a light wave of the hand. Wally grinned and looked down at Evie to place a hand on her head in an unspoken 'Thank You' for the attempted warning. Missing the growing intrigued glint in the woman's eye as she appraised the man before her, "I'm Linda Park, by the way," She spoke politely. Wally turned his attention back to her, sticking his hand out to meet hers in a brief handshake.

"I'm Wally West," He grinned, mentally wondering if they had grabbed Artemis's favorite shampoo when they went down the soap aisle, he knew that she had been running low...

"Is that your daughter?" The woman asked arily, leaning over her cart slightly.

"Yeah, this is Evie," Wally immediately beamed, swinging the girl up and into his arms.

"Daddy!" She laughed, pushing his face away from where he had been blowing a raspberry on her cheek.

"She's beautiful," Linda complemented, "She has your vibrant eyes,"

Wally was completely oblivious to the tone of voice she was using, the kind that would have caught his ear had he still been a teenager, "Yeah, but she's the striking image of her gorgeous mother,"

"Momma says I have you smile," Evie supplied helpfully, her eyes drifting to the box of cookies that were within her reach.

Neither West noticed the way Linda's face visibly fell at the mention of the mother. Wally's attention suddenly caught on the sale across the store.

"Oh! Evie look at that! Roses are on sale!" He exclaimed with a broad grin and a poke to the blonde's stomach, causing her to giggle, "It was nice to meet you Lena, sorry I ran into you," Wally turned momentarily to the woman who didn't even have time to correct him before the redhead was rolling his cart away.

"Momma likes lilies," Evie informed her father, who laughed.

"I know roses aren't her favorite, but they're on sale! And you know she'll like them anyway!" Wally argued, as he began perusing the selection for the best of the best, "Which ones to do think we should get Princess?" He asked.

"Those," Evie decided, pointing at a specific bouquet. Wally nodded in agreement before plucking them up and handing them to the girl.

"Can you hold onto these for me?" He asked, knowing she wanted to anyway. The toddler nodded fervently, "Thanks Princess," The speedster smiled as he pushed the cart back toward where they came from, "Now about those nachos..."
