"Holy shit!" Zatanna gasped when the lake house was in view. "Who does Bruce think he is? Jay Gatsby? This is just pure opulence." "It's only impressive on the outside." Dick shrugged. "It looks like a goth dollhouse." Artemis yawned. Once she realized how close she was to Wally she let go. "Let's unpack and get set up!" Megan said with a smile.

The lake house had four rooms and after a bit of deliberation it was decided that the girls would share the master while Dick and Wally and Conner and Kaldur would share two connected rooms. "There's literal cobwebs in the cabinets!" Megan exclaimed in disgust as she investigated the state of the kitchen. Dick shook his head and searched under the sink for a safe. He put in the combination and handed it to Megan.

"Who the hell has this much cash on hand?" Conner asked in disbelief. "Two bachelors who live off take out." Kaldur decided that they would not be living off take out for the weekend. "This is unacceptable. We're going to the grocery store." Megan said as she grabbed some cash. "Don't break anything while we're gone." She warned as she, Kaldur and Conner went off to the store.

Everyone else broke off to unpack, rest up and shower before dinner. Artemis looked out to the frozen and sighed wistfully. "What's on your mind?" Zatanna asked. Artemis shrugged. "Baby names, the future." She said as she turned around to face her. "It's all becoming so real Z. This time next year I'll have a daughter. A little being that I created will be tangible. Shit's insane." "That is crazy to think about. Where we're all going, what we'll be doing with our lives." Artemis sighed and sat down on the bed.

"I'm so stupid." She whispered, teary eyed. Zatanna knelt in front of her and grabbed her hands. "You're not. Don't ever say that." Artemis shook her head. " No, I really am. I did the dumbest thing ever." She bit her lip and looked down. "Getting preg-" "I'm not talking about this-" she gestured to her belly "it's worse." "What did you do?" Zatanna asked as she sat next to her and wrapped her arms around her shoulders. "I think that I'm starting to, you know, catch feelings."

"Oh boy. We're wrapping this convo in foil and coming back to it when Megs gets here. This is definitely a girl talk."

"You either catch feelings or you don't. Simple." Megan shrugged. "No, not simple." Artemis protested. "My little parasite is compromising my emotions so I can't tell what's real and what's not." Zatanna frowned. "Excellent point." Megan pulled out her phone. "Ooh I got it! 20 Questions That Will Tell You if It's Love ." Megan wiggled her eyebrows.

Artemis rolled her eyes. "That can't be reliable." "It's a step in the right direction. Plus it's from Psychology Today." Zatanna scooted closer to Megan. "Just think of whoever-" "Wally." Zatanna coughed. "And rate the statements one to seven. One strongly disagreeing and seven strongly agreeing." Megan ignored Zatanna and handed Artemis her phone.

It took her roughly fifteen minutes to complete but when she was done she looked up.

"I'm fucked."

While Megan, Kaldur and Artemis (the only people who could cook) made dinner Wally and Dick decided to soak in the hot tub. "Of course he has a hot tub." Conner muttered. They tried to get him to come with them but he didn't pack any swimwear. The offer was extended to Zatanna as well but she insisted she still had some unpacking to do.

It was nice to have time for just the two of them. "You're overthinking something." Dick informed his best friend after observing him for a while. "Huh?" "Your face tells all my dear Waluigi." "Does it truly, Richarizard?" "Yes and you know it does. What's up?" Wally sighed. "If I tell you, you have to promise to keep your mouth shut." Dick nodded. "Done and done." "I'm falling for Artemis, but I don't know if she feels the same and I'm too scared to ask."

Dinner was a thoroughly awkward affair.

Artemis and Wally kept stealing wistful glances at each other, but always when the other wasn't looking. Zatanna cleared her throat and turned to Dick. "Sidebar." She said as she stood up. Dick followed behind as she went outside to the patio.

"We have to get them together. But we can't be obvi about it. We gotta keep it lowkey you know?" "Don't be chalant got it." "Chalant isn't a word." "Neither is obvi." "Touche."

Megan agreed to help them with their plot. Conner and Kaldur decided it would be better if they stayed out of it. "I'm terrible at keeping secrets." He said in his defense. "And I'm a bad liar." Kaldur added.

"I mean, they spend a lot of time together for the sake of their baby. We should totes use that to our advantage." Zatanna said at their "briefing" during breakfast. Artemis and Wally weren't morning people and they had a good 20 minutes before either of them were up. "Me and Megs and throw a bomb ass baby shower and get coupons to one of those couples birthing class things." "And let nature take its course?" Megan asked. Dick laughed.

"You know better. We're 100% gonna meddle." Zatanna nodded. "Like Eros and Aphrodite." She smirked. "But more subtle than an arrow in the ass." Dick said as they fist bumped. "And how do we meddle while still being subtle? Artemis can smell a conspiracy miles away."

"That where you come in oh sweet voice of reason."
