"My water just broke."

Wally's jaw dropped. "Are... Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yeah. I'm pretty sure." Artemis said, calmly. "Alright. I'm going to get the bags and put them in the car, then come back and get you. You go and call Dinah so she can meet us there." Wally said, getting up off of the bed.

Artemis grabbed her phone out of her back pocket, and dialed the number. "Hey, Dinah? My water just broke. Can you meet us at the hospital in about twenty minutes?" Artemis asked.

"Sure. Of course! I'm on my way, see you there." Dinah said, hanging up.

Artemis stuffed her phone back into her pocket, and sat up. She got up, and went to the closet to grab a clean pair of underwear and a skirt. Right as she finished changing, she went threw a contraction.

"Oh ow. Holy... Fuck! Oww!" She groaned, clutching her knees with he fists.

Wally came back to find her panting and gasping, trying to stay calm. He ran over to her, trying to comfort her.

"Shit! Why did God have to make labor so painful?" Artemis groaned, as Wally helped her walk towards their car. He locked the door behind them, and lead Artemis towards the elevator.

They got inside, and Wally pushed the button so they'd go down to the first floor. Everything was going smoothly, until the elevator stopped between the fourth and fifth floors.

"Oh come on!" Artemis groaned, leaning against the wall, as she went through another contraction. "Shit! Shit! Shit!" Wally groaned, pressing the emergency button several times. He turned towards Artemis and frowned at what he saw.

She was on the floor in the corner, her back against the wall, her face red in agony.

He gave her an apologetic look before picking up the emergency phone. "Hey, the elevator is stuck! I kind of need it to move!... Why? My girlfriend's about to have a baby! That's why!... You have got to be kidding me!... Ugh! Just hurry up!" Wally snapped, hanging up the phone.

"Tell Dinah we're going to be late; the elevator's stuck and it's going to be awhile before they can fix it." Wally sighed, sitting down beside her. He grabbed her hand and squeezed it, as she took out her phone and texted the older League member.

"How... Ungh! Long, will it... Ow- take them?" She gasped, trying to stay calm.

"Any where from three to six hours." Wally sighed.

"Oh come the fuck on!" Artemis snapped.


"What are you doing on your phone, Baywatch?" Artemis huffed, as she went threw yet another contraction.

It had been about forty-five minutes since her water broke, and according to the stop watch on her phone, her contractions were four-and-a-half minutes apart.

"I'm looking up how to have an at home child-birth." He informed her.

"Why?" She groaned.

"We are stuck in an elevator that won't be unstuck for another two to five hours. So- unfortenetly- there is a fifty/fifty chance, that you will give birth to Jai in this tiny square deathtrap! Obviously you can't catch him if this happens, so that means I will have to help you!" Wally snapped.

Artemis whined. "But I don't want to give birth in an elevator! I want to give birth in a hospital with drugs!" She wailed.

"I know. And I'm sorry." He frowned.

"Did you know I had my delivery all planned out?" Artemis informed him. "Huh. What was it?" He asked her.

"It was really simple. I was going to have Dinah deliver him, the only person allowed in the room besides her and a nurse or two was going to be you, I was going to get an epidural when I reached seven centimeters, and the only way that I was going to get a c-section was if Jaiyden's heart rate dropped to a dangerous level or if he tried to come out ass first like his Father."

"That does sound simple. Hey! What do you mean "ass first like his Father"?" Wally yelped.

"I talked to your Mom; you were breeched."


"My vagina huuuuurrrrrrrtttttttsssss!" Artemis groaned.

"Um, ew." Wally gagged.

The heavily pregnant blonde glared at him. "Jai better be twenty the next time I have to go threw with this pain, you jackass!" She snapped. "How far apart are your contractions, again?" Wally asked her.

"Two minutes. I'd say that puts me at around... Oh... Seven centimeters**, I guess?" She sighed. "I'm really sorry you're in so much pain." He frowned, kissing her cheek.

"It's okay. Not all your fault. It takes two to tango, remember?" She smiled at him. "A few more hours and we'll be a family." She mused, a hand on her gut. "Yep. So how's Jaiyden doing?" Wally asked.

"Good. Jai's kicking up a storm. If he's not causing me severe pain, my contractions are." Artemis smirked.

Wally smiled at her.

"So when do you want to get married?" He asked her.

"I knew we forgot something!" Artemis cried. "I just figured it was taking Nelson to the vet..." She added.

"We have to do that, too." Wally laughed. Artemis smiled, before a thought popped into her head. "Wally...?" She mumbled. "Yeah, beautiful?" He asked.

"Is our son going to be a bastard? Since we weren't married before he was born." Artemis asked, sadness in her eyes. "What? No. No, he's not." Wally told her.

"Promise?"

"Promise."


"49 bottles of beer on the wall, 49 bottles of beer. You take one down, pass it around, 49 bottles of beer on the wall. 48 bottles of beer on the wall, 48 bottles of beer. You take one down, pass it around, 48 bottles of beer on the wall..." Wally and Artemis drawled, completely bored.

No one could blame them for being bored; they'd been in the elevator for almost five hours now.

"Ohh owww...!" Artemis yelped, sitting up, and clutching her stomach. "Oh God! Shit! I think he wants to come out!" She groaned.

"What did I tell you? I told you you'd give birth to Jaiyden in the elevator." Wally muttered, as he helped Artemis take off her underwear.

"Oh fuck you, Wallace!" She snapped. "You already did. That's why we're in this mess." He informed her. "God! Why couldn't Dick have gotten us this place after I gave birth?" Artemis groaned.

"Well you can tell Dick how much of a dick he is for getting us a bigger place to live out of the kindness of his heart, the next time we see him. Now on your next contraction, I need you to push, okay?" Wally told her.

She nodded, and less then thirty seconds later, she pushed.

Her face scrunched up in sheer pain, as she pushed hard, trying to deliver Jai. After a minute of pushing, she had to stop because her contraction was over. But a few seconds later, she was right back to pushing.

Almost an hour later, she felt all the pressure and pain in her cervix go away, as it was replaced by a tiny wail.

"He's here!" Wally grinned, placing the now screaming Jaiyden on to Artemis's flattened stomach.

"Ohh hi sweetie. Hi baby boy." She cooed, holding him close to her as Wally cleaned him of as best as he could with his t-shirt, before wrapping him up with it.

Artemis couldn't help but smile as she brought their son- their Jaiyden- closer to her chest, so he could hear her heartbeat. "We made him. We made this beautiful little boy." She told Wally, as he leaned against the wall beside her.

"We did. We make pretty cute kids, huh?" Wally grinned. "Yeah. We do. Hi Jaiyden. Hi honey." Artemis cooed, holding her son.

"You know it's going to take me ten years to get that image out of my head." He informed her. "You mean the image of our son crowning?" Artemis smirked. "Yep. Because that was just nasty!" He gagged.

"I love you." Artemis smirked. "I love you, too." He said, kissing her.

Right as they pulled away, the elevator started moving.

"Oh you have got to be kidding me!" "Come the fuck on!" They snapped.


A few hours later, while Wally went to go get the car from their parking lot, M'gann came to visit Artemis in the hospital.

"So how was it?" The Martian asked curiously.

"Painful. But all completely worth it in the end." Artemis smiled, as Jai drank from her breast. "So did you talk to Dinah? How'd it go?" Artemis asked. "I talked to her. I'm due on Christmas." M'gann blushed.

"Oh that's great! Does Conner know?" Artemis asked.

"Do I know what?"

Both girls eyes went wide, when Conner entered the room. Artemis could tell by the look on M'gann's face that no, she had not gotten the chance to tell her ex boyfriend that they were going to be having a baby together.

"Go away. Both of you- go away!" Artemis ordered.

"But I want to see-"

"You can see him later. Leave, now." Artemis ordered, interrupting Conner.

The Superboy huffed, rolling his eyes, before he and M'gann left Artemis's hospital room. "So what were you two talking about in there?" Conner asked her, as they walked down the hall.

M'gann stopped, sighing.

"M'gann? Is everything okay?" He asked, concerned. Even though it had been over a year-and-a-half since their break up, and five months since her and La'Gaan's break up, Conner still cared deeply for the young Martian female.

"I'm pregnant... You're the Father." She told him, waiting for him to yell and scream, or worst- just walk away from her and their unborn child.

But he didn't. Instead, he kissed her.

M'gann moaned, wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her. It was until they heard Wally's voice that they had forgotten where they were.

"Hey! Just because their are babies on this floor, doesn't mean you two should go and make your own." Wally joked, carrying Artemis and Jaiyden's bags towards their room.

"We already did." M'gann blushed.

Wally gasped. "Congratulations!" He grinned, before walking on. When he got to the room, he could hear Artemis talking to Jaiyden in Vietnamese.

"Cậu bé của tôi. Cậu bé xinh đẹp của tôi. I 'm so happy bạn đang ở đây với tôi và cha của bạn và phần còn lại của gia đình chúng tôi điên. Tôi sẽ luôn luôn chắc chắn rằng bạn đang an toàn. Tôi yêu bạn, Jaiyden." She cooed, her eyes never leaving her blonde son.

Wally just stood there in the doorway, watching them, a smile on his face.

That was his family. They were his family. He would always protect them. He would always love them.

He was a Dad, now.


**I was totally guessing on the contractions are two minutes apart= 7 centimeters thing.

"My little boy. My beautiful little boy. I am so happy you're here with me and your Dad and the rest of our crazy family. I will always make sure that you are safe. I love you, Jaiyden."
