Really short, but a lot of shit happens.


"How do you guys not have a bigger place?" Wally cried, as Jai ran into Mark and Lisa's bedroom, so that they could play.

"We've been busy! Besides, we have until Abbie becomes mobile to find a new place to live. So we have at least six more months." Conner groaned.

M'gann rolled her eyes, as Artemis entered the kitchen, and gave her a hug. "How're you feeling?" Artemis asked her. "Tired and sore. I can't wait until she wants to come out. Thank God I only have a week left." M'gann huffed.

"How's everything going with Mark?"

"... Better then I thought it would..." She sighed.

"Any word from Raquel?" Artemis questioned.

"Last I heard, she was still at two centimeters. We'll probably learn more tomorrow." M'gann told her.

"I hope everything's okay."

"Me too. So how's you and Wally?" M'gann asked.

"Good. It was a little awkward the first few days, but things have gotten much better." Artemis smiled.

"And the sex?" M'gann smirked.

Artemis blushed, laughing. "Really really great." She smiled. M'gann chuckled, rolling her eyes.

She gasped, suddenly, her head quickly looking down. "Shit!" She groaned; her water broke.

"Conner. Me and Wally will watch the munchkins, you take M'gann to the Watch Tower." Artemis said, sticking her head out through the doorway.

"Did her water break?" He asked.

"Yeah." She nodded, as M'gann waddled out of the kitchen.

"Okay, there's some pork chops on the counter, they should be thawed out by six. Make sure Mark and- ooh!- Lisa are bathed by eight, and in bed by eight-thirty, and-"

"C'mon M'gann! Damn! When your water broke with Lisa, she was born less then four hours later. We gotta go!" Conner groaned, leading her out the front door of their apartment.


"Oww! Fuck!" Raquel whined, her face scrunched up in pain. Kaldur held her hand, trying to comfort her.

"God! Get him out of me!" She groaned.

"Your labor isn't progressing, Raquel. Do you want a c-section?" Dinah asked her.

"Please! Just get him out!" Raquel snapped.

"Okay, okay. I'll get the O.R. all set up. I'll be right back." Dinah cooed, leaving the room.

As she left the room, she bumped into Conner and M'gann. "You're not in labor, are you?" Dinah asked.

"Unfortenetly. Artemis and Wally are watching the kids." M'gann huffed.

"Okay. I need to give Raquel a c-section. It'll take, forty minutes tops. When I'm done, I'll see how you're doing, okay? Good! Bye!" Dinah said, quickly running off.


"Hi baby. Hi Amistad!" Raquel cooed, kissing her son's nose. Kaldur held their six pound son, as Dinah made sure everything was okay.

"He looks just like you." Kaldur told her, kissing her forehead.

"He's adorable, you guys." Dinah told them. Something caught her eye, and she gasped.

"What's wrong?" Raquel cried.

"I..." Dinah trailed off. "Tell us Dinah!" Kaldur snapped.

Before anyone could react, a second wailing filled the room. Raquel and Kaldur's jaws dropped.

A second baby? They had twins!

Kaldur placed Amistad down in the plastic crib, before going over to the second baby.

"Kal...!" Raquel groaned, wanting to see the new baby.

Kaldur smiled at the new baby, gently holding it's tiny hand, as it continued to scream it's lungs off, while Dinah cleaned and wrapped them up all nice and snug.

Kaldur walked back over to Raquel, kissing her cheek.

"Is the second baby okay? What is it?" She asked.

"It's a boy, and he's healthy."

"Boy? Twin boys." Raquel grinned, earning a kiss from Kaldur.


"Ow! Shit!" M'gann hissed, a Dinah hooked a fetal monitor to her. "I know, I know." Dinah cooed.

"So how's Raquel doing?" M'gann asked.

"Good. She had twins; both boys."

"Twins?" Conner cried.

"Uh huh. No idea how the hell I missed that. But yeah, Amistad weighted six pounds, and was nineteen inches long. And his baby brother was five pounds, twelve ounces, and was eighteen inches long." Dinah explained.

"Does the second baby have a name?" M'gann asked.

"Not that I'm aware of. You are six centimeters, so it'll be a few hours. I'll check how your doing in half an hour." Dinah told them, leaving the room.


"Has Mommy had the baby yet?" Lisa asked, as Artemis cooked the porkchops.

"I don't think so, Lisa-Bug. Your Daddy would've called." Artemis said, handing the toddler a carrot to munch on.

"Does the baby have a name?" Mark asked.

"You guys don't know it?" Wally asked, an eyebrow raised up.

Lisa and Mark shook their heads no.

"Huh. Guess they wanted you two to be surprised." Wally shrugged.

"Ugh!" Mark groaned, tilting his head back. "I'll be watching t.v. Call me when dinner's ready or the baby's here- which ever happens first." He sighed, walking into the living room.

"Mama! When are you gonna have a baby?" Jaiyden asked, tugging at his Mother's pant leg.

Artemis and Wally's eyes widened. "Umm... I don't know, baby. Maybe in a year or two." Artemis cooed, ruffling his hair.

"Should we get him a hair cut?" Artemis asked Wally, noticing how long Jai's hair had gotten.

"Noooo!" Jaiyden screeched, clutching his hair as he ran out the kitchen.

Wolf whined from his spot under the table.


"Her eyes are red." Conner commented, as M'gann held a ten minute old Abbie.

"Huh?... Oh.. Oh! Wow. You're right... That's really weird..." M'gann commented, looking at their newborn daughter.

Abbie looked just like Lisa did when she was born. But instead of her eyes being blue, Abbie's eyes were a bright, blood red color.

"... She has your eyes...?" Conner suggested.

"Maybe. I don't know." She sighed, snuggling Abbie close to her chest.

"You did great." Conner murmured in her ear, kissing her on the cheek. "I love you."

"I love you too." M'gann said, smiling at him.


"Peter?" Kaldur suggested.

"God no! Austin?" Raquel asked.

"Nah, we already have an "A" name for Amistad. Garrette?"

"Pass. What about Calvin? After your Dad?"

"... I like it, but only as a middle name." Kaldur told her.

"Okay. So baby number two has a middle name. Now all he needs is a first name." Raquel cooed, as she held the nameless baby, while Kaldur held Amistad.

"Joseph?" Kaldur suggested.

"Joseph Calvin Auhm? I like it. Is that your name, baby boy?" Raquel cooed, kissing his forehead.


"Mark. Lisa. Your Mom had the baby. This, is Abbie." Artemis smiled, showing the picture of Abigail on her cell phone to Mark and Lisa.

Lisa gasped, a smile on her face. "She's so tiny! Can we see her?" She squealed.

"Maybe in the morning. It's late and your Mom and the baby are tired." Artemis told her.

"She's cute." Mark said, smiling at his new sister.

He was right; she was cute.

If only they knew that she would cause a lot of problems for their family in the future.
