DavidxEmber's review: Wanna know what would be awesome? If like you showed Wally and Artemis getting together, then in the future on the same exact day their baby is born. That would be so fucking SWEET! :D

An Unforgettable Trip
Bonus Chapter: Reminiscing and New Life
"You know, it's amazing that we ever got together" Flash said suddenly while he was following Nightwing around during the bird's patrol - much to his chagrin.
"What are you talking about?" Nightwing asked, deciding to humor him.
"Artie and me" Flash replied.
"Ah" Nightwing said simply.
"But it is amazing, isn't it?" Flash asked. Nightwing rolled his hidden eyes.
"Not really, the rest of us kind of saw it coming" the bird replied.
"Oh come on, you know how we were" Flash said starting to reminisce about it…out loud.
(Flashback 5 years ago)
They'd known each other for three years. Half of that time had been spent arguing and it was getting old for the rest of the team.
This was yet another one of those moments.
"What would you know?" Artemis yelled, getting up in Wally's face.
"More than you!" Wally rebuked.
"Yeah?" Artemis challenged.
"Yeah!" Wally answered.
The rest of the team sighed as the two kept going back and forth.
"Why don't they get that they like each other?" M'gann asked sadly.
"I do not know" Kaldur replied.
Suddenly they both pitched forward into a lip-lock. The team sighed in relief when they didn't pull away from each other.
"It's about time" Superboy said.
"Yeah, it's so sad that it took this long for them to get it" M'gann agreed. The two left the room holding hands; they apparently had not seen the shadow that pushed the bickering duo together. Kaldur, however, had.
"Well done Robin" the Atlantian said as the little bird appeared next to him.
"Yeah, they were taking too long to do it on their own" Robin replied dismissively as he left the room, Kaldur following behind him, glad for the peace and quiet.
(End Flashback)
"Dude I know, I was there" Nightwing said after the speedster concluded his tale.
"I know, you were in the flashback after all" Flash said like it was obvious. Nightwing rolled his eyes and shook his head slightly.
"So why did you feel the need to tell me something I already know?" the acrobat asked.
"I'm just a little nervous and talking helps" Flash replied, vibrating slightly.
"Uh-huh" Nightwing replied in a monotone.
"Just humor me alright" Flash said giving his friend a pleading look.
"Fine" Nightwing said with a sigh.
"But really, I can't believe we actually got together" Flash started again. Nightwing looked to the sky as if asking 'why me' when Flash suddenly received a call.
"Hello?" He answered. The speedster was quiet for a few seconds as the other person spoke. His eyes widened and a look of shock crossed his face.
"OmigoshI'llberightthere" he said hanging up. "omigoshomigoshomigosh -" Flash was cut off by Nightwing's hand smacking him across the face. He brought his own hand up to the spot that Nightwing had hit him and stared at his friend in shock. The bird sighed pinching the bridge of his nose in exasperation.
"Dude, take a couple breaths, slow down, and tell me what happened" Nightwing said, gripping his friend's shoulders and shaking him lightly in an attempt to pull the speedster out of his stupor.
"Artie's in labor, she's at the hospital right now! Come on" Flash said once he could speak at a normal pace again.
"Why do I have to go?" Nightwing asked releasing Flash's shoulders.
"Because you're my best friend and so you have to" Flash said.
"Oh so not only am I obligated to care about your wellbeing, but I have to be with you when your child is born?" Nightwing replied crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow.
"Dude, just come on" Flash pleaded.
"Alright, alright, calm down, it would be an honor to be there at your child's birth" Nightwing said allowing his arms to fall to his sides.
"Good" Flash said pulling the bird onto his back and taking off before his friend could protest.
.
(The hospital - 30 seconds later)
.
Flash stopped in front of the hospital releasing Nightwing who stumbled a little before shaking his head and glaring at the speedster.
"What?" Flash asked. Nightwing crossed his arms.
"I've told you not to do that, or at least to warn me before you do" Nightwing said.
"Right, sorry 'bout that" Flash replied, rubbing the back of his neck. He turned to walk into the hospital only to be pulled back by Nightwing.
"What?" Flash asked again. Nightwing rolled his eyes and let out an exasperated sigh.
"We can't just go waltzing into the hospital in our superhero costumes you idiot" The bird replied. Flash glanced down at himself realizing that he was, in fact, still in his uniform.
"Oh yeah" he said before speeding off to change and bringing Nightwing a change of clothes. A few moments later Dick Grayson and Wally West walked into the hospital.
Wally walked up to the receptionist and asked what room Artemis was in before heading that way with Dick. When they arrived at the room they could hear Artemis yelling at the doctor.
"Dude, she's really mad" Wally said.
"So it would seem" Dick replied.
"WHERE THE HECK IS WALLY?" Artemis shouted from the other side of the door.
"He's on his way, we just called him" they heard a doctor or nurse say.
"You should probably get in there before she hurts someone" Dick suggested.
"Can't you come with me?" Wally asked giving his friend a pleading look. Dick raised an eyebrow.
"Um, no" he replied.
"Why not?" Wally whined.
"Dude, though it would be totally whelming to watch her rip your head off, I don't think it would be appropriate for me to be in there while she's in a hospital gown in that…position" Dick replied.
"Oh…right" Wally said before opening the door and walking in. Dick went to sit on one of the chairs in the hallway and wait.
.
(Dick's pov)
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Artemis shrieked after the door closed behind Wally. I think that I just heard one of the doctors muttering about being glad the husband showed up so soon to tame his wife.
"It hasn't been that long since I got the call, just calm down" Wally replied.
"YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN? YOU'RE THE ONE THAT DID THIS TO ME!" Artemis yelled.
"You really should calm down a little" one of the nurses said.
It got quiet for a little while, so I assume Artie is at least attempting to calm down. I hear the doctors telling her to breathe and push. So the baby is on its way.
"Dick save me!" Wally yells from behind the door. He sounds kind of like he's in pain. I guess Artie must be squeezing his hand pretty hard. She's got a strong grip normally, so I can imagine how much it must hurt.
Suddenly the noise quiets down and I hear the cries of a newborn.
.
(3rd person pov)
"It's a girl" the doctor says handing the baby to an exhausted Artemis.
"You can come in now" Wally says, poking his head out the door and looking at his friend. Dick walks into the room and leans against the wall near the window. Wally sits down in the chair next to the bed.
"She's got blonde hair, just like you Artie, and green eyes…wait. She's got green eyes? How can she have green eyes? Artie were you che-" Wally was interrupted by Dick smacking the back of his head - hard.
"You've got green eyes you moron" Dick said.
"Oh…right" Wally said sheepishly.
"Were you accusing me of cheating on you?" Artemis asked, her eyes narrowing.
"No, no of course not, I would never do that" Wally rattled off nervously. Artemis reached to her bag which contained her collapsed bow. Her husband's eyes widened in fear.
"Well, I better let you rest, gottagobye!" Wally said disappearing. Dick sighed and Artemis snorted in amusement.
"He's such an idiot" she said with a fond smile.
"Yeah, your idiot" Dick replied.
.
Yeah, so this actually doesn't have much to do with what happened in the story, but it is the characters and a continuation of events of the story – namely Artemis being pregnant.
My sister was attacking me with her dirty socks while screeching something about the Constitution and complaining that I was distracting her as I wrote this…yeah there's something wrong with her…
*sigh* Anyway...
BYE!
