Chapter 5
Hello My Name Is: Chair
Three months crawled by slowly, but they came. Shay, with many annoying suggestions from Wally, finally decided on a name for her child. Ira was the name she chose from the dozens being verbally hurled at her from Wally's speeding mouth.
Wally had been visiting her everyday now because she was past her delivery date. He was going to come over after he was done with a crisis in Peru. She really didn't want him to though. It's not like she didn't love the guy, but she was having one of her tired days.
She was on her way waddling to the couch, from the kitchen when the door opened, and Wally zoomed in startling her.
"There is my heavily, child-loaded, Thanagarian," he said hugging her, "No baby yet?"
"No, a week and a half over due. Ira really doesn't want to see this world. But could you blame him?" she smiled, she was glad he came after all; it got boring just being by herself.
"I'm sure he just wants to make an entrance, like his old Uncle Wally," he smiled, "So what are you going to do today?"
She yawned, "I think I'm just going to sleep on the couch."
"Oh, you want me to leave then?"
"No you can stay; I mean you don't have to go."
"Well I had nothing else planned."
He sped to the couch and sat down. Shay took her place at the opposite end and laid her head down a pillow. She lifted her legs up and set them down on Wally's lap.
"Yow, you're legs are freezing," he said putting his hands on her leg to keep them warm.
"Pregnant Thanagarian's usually don't have good circulation to there feet," she yawned and laid her wings behind Wally.
He looked at them with an inquisitive glare, "Were your wings always that long?"
She looked up at them, "mm? No, they grow along with my belly. It's to make sure I can carry the weight of the baby. But I haven't flown in like, two months. I should really go."
Wally put his warm hand on her expanded stomach, "Shay, you're over due. If you went flying people would point and say, 'it's a bird, it's a plane, no wait it's a blimp'."
She scoffed, "I'm not that large," there was a pause, "Ugh, Wally you ass."
"What?" he asked as she got up from the couch.
"Your hand got Ira kicking, he'll never stop now. I'll never get to sleep!"
"Sorry," he said rubbing the back of his head, "Hey where are you going?"
"The bathroom..."
One week later Flash was in the Watch Tower.
"So Flash?" Superman began to ask, "Where have you been running off to these days?" he laughed at his own joke because no one else did.
The entire League was gathered in the lounge, it seemed there was no world crisis happening at the moment.
"What do you mean?" he asked back, sipping on his straw to his mocha latté.
"I mean every time your shift is done, you're out of here like a flash." He laughed once again, mostly everyone rolled there eyes.
"Oh, umm to see Linda."
"I thought you two broke up a while ago?" asked Diana.
'Oh we did, but we got back together and she's amazing," he was telling a whale of a tale.
"So when do we all get together to meet her once again?" Diana asked.
"Well," Flash was interrupted by his cell phone ringing. He kept it by him just incase Shay needed him.
He excused himself and walked over to the corner.
"Hello?"
"Wally, it's me Shay," she said from the other connection.
"Oh hi Linda, we were just talking about you!"
"What, this is Shay," she replied.
"I know just play along, so what's on your mind?"
"What time are you off?" she asked.
"No you can't come to visit my work, it's very dangerous, but I'll be off in an hour."
"Perfect, because I'm in labor. And Thangarian birthing only takes minutes" she sounded dismayed.
"Well what's wrong with our reservations? You made them for two, oh you can't make it. Oh you have to work overtime?" he sounded panicked, "Well that's okay, I owe my friend J'onn a meal anyways, but I'll have to see if I can get off work early, it's pretty slow here. Okay So I'll see you later tonight then. Bye sweetie."
He walked back to the group, "Hey guys, is it okay if me and J'onn cut out now. I've got diner reservations that Linda made but she cancelled, and I owe J'onn a diner."
"Yeah sure," Superman said happily, "I don't think there will be any emergencies."
"Just don't think you can do this all the time," Said Green Lantern, who had been in a bad mood ever since the 'incident'.
"Alright then J'onn lets go," Flash said hurriedly.
"Yes I am very hungry," J'onn said having already read Flash's mind.
As soon as they left the lounge, they all but ran to the hanger. And sped quickly towards Earth.
Her labor was only forty-five minutes long. Luckily J'onn arrived just on time. She didn't need any drugs because the Thanagarian body's automatically supplied a painkiller. She didn't scream at all.
She and J'onn were in her bedroom, while Wally waited outside trying to watch TV to keep his mind off of what was happening.
Finally after one TV show, J'onn came out and said Wally could go in. Wally was smiling and to his outmost surprise so was J'onn, a big green Martian smile.
"I'm going to take my leave now, please give Shayera my best." The Martian requested.
Wally nodded and sped into the room. Shay was on her bed trying to sleep with her new bundle tucked under her arms, wrapped in a blanket.
"Hey Feathers, are you okay?" he asked quietly.
"Yeah, just a little tired," she as she kept looking at her baby, "Do me a favor and take my baby? I'd like to get a little sleep," she smiled and planted a big kiss on her child's head, and handed it to Uncle Wally.
"Hey there big guy," Flash was beaming, "I'm your Uncle Wally, Over there that's your mom, she tuckered out, I'm guessing from having to push your wings out," he chuckled.
"Not funny," Shay intervened without opening her eyes.
"Look at you; you look exactly like her, big guy. You have the same colored hair, the same piercing eyes but your skins a bit darker than her," he stopped and then whispered, "But then considering your dad you would be."
"Don't think I didn't hear that," she replied without opening her eyes.
"I'm trying to bond with my nephew here," he replied back, this caused her to laugh. "What's so funny?" he asked with an eyebrow cocked.
"Nothing, but could you do the diaper change?" she smiled.
"Yeah I guess I could wing it, Ha wing it, oh never mind."
He brought the baby over to the table and set it down gently. He took out a diaper. "Now don't make this harder than it has to be Big Guy."
The baby looked up at him with its big, bright, green, piercing eyes.
"Now you just take this and rip it off, and move that there, and bring that over there, and dispose of this over here and OH MY GOD!" he screamed.
"What?!" Shay asked concerned jumping right out of bed and running to the changing table.
Wally quickly did up the diaper and handed the baby to Shay.
"It's, it's, it's a girl," he stuttered.
"Yeah I know J'onn told me." She smiled as she put her babies chin on her own shoulder.
"But what happened to my nephew! I was going to play baseball, and take fishing?"
Shay laughed, "You can still teach her baseball and take her fishing."
Wally pointed to the baby, "But girls do play baseball and go fishing," he was pretty upset at that moment, until a little hand reached up and grabbed his finger. He looked down at the baby, and into her gorgeous green eyes and his heart melted. "Okay maybe I will teach her that stuff, now gimme," and he took his niece.
Shay laughed and sat back down on the bed.
"A coochie coochie, coo. A coochie coo, wait a minute. What did you name her?" He asked.
"Oh Chair," Shay replied, now lying down, "you were the one who said it was going to be a boy."
He looked at her wide mouthed, "You didn't!"
"No," she giggled, "I kept her name Ira. I wanted an original name, so I named her a boy's name. Besides it's all she's heard for the last three month."
"Ah," Wally looked down at his beautiful niece, "Ira Chair Hol, it flows beautifully."
PS, Green Lantern will be in it a lot in one or two chapters
