It's been two days and Artemis is now officially a member of the Queen family, so Dinah thought it was a good idea to go and do some baby shopping like a crib, clothes, a stroller and other stuff baby needs, so she, her best friend Diana and Artemis are shopping.
"Dinah, she's so adorable. I can't believe this used to be the always closed off Artemis." Diana said when Artemis grabbed Dinah's hand. Dinah looked down and saw Artemis smiling at her "Mama."
Dinah smiled as they continued shopping. They walked into a clothes shop and Diana saw a cute green dress "Dinah, look how cute this is."
"It's like the cutest little dress. Diana look at this dress." Dinah said as she held a white dress with flower print on it.
"Come on Arty, let's try the on." Dinah said and they walked to the fitting room.
Three hours later they bought a total of ten dressed, five onesies, twenty pairs of shoes, a lots of socks, a green crib, a green stroller, a changing table and a lot of toys and of course were those all paid with Oliver's credit card.
"So Dinah, how did Roy take the news?" Diana asked as they were sitting at a restaurant having a break from all that shopping, Artemis fell asleep a hour ago.
"Well, he stormed off and I have not seen him since. But he will come around, he and Artemis didn't get along before so that's why." Dinah said and took the last sip of coca cola.
"Come on let's go home" Diana said and lifting the bags with the clothes and the toys up. Dinah grabbed the stroller that held Artemis and walked away "You know Diana, I have never been so happy with your super strength. You make it look like you're holding a paper instead of clothes and toys."
Diana and Dinah busted out laughing, that's was until Diana's communicator went off "Diana here. Oh yeah... no, no problem, be right there." Diana turned to Dinah and said "I am so sorry Dinah, duty calls"
Luckily for Dinah they were almost home so it wasn't big of a problem that she had to carry the bags. When they arrived Oliver was waiting for them "Hey honey, so what's the damage?" he said as he kissed Artemis on her forehead and Dinah on her lips. Dinah smiled "Oh not much, I think it was a total of one hundred thousand dollars."
"Are you coming with me today to the cave?" Oliver asked when he picked up the sleeping toddler and held her close.
"Yes, I think I will take Arty with me, I know everyone is dying to see her again, especially Zatanna and M'gann" Dinah said as she grabbed the bags and brought it inside "We will go right after I changed Arty"
"Do you think that Artemis is one day going to find out we adopted her and that her real mother is dead and her real dad is in prison." Oliver asked suddenly. Dinah looked at him for a few seconds before answering "I don't know, we will worry about that when she's a lot older. I just can't believe that I am officially her mother, I mean I always felt like a mother towards her but now it's real you know, it's so weird how things change so fast."
"I know what you mean. Four days ago I was practicing with my protégé and know I am the father of the most adorable girl in the world." Oliver said as he helped Artemis in her new dress. Artemis who started to wake up, looked at Ollie with the biggest smile on her face "Hey there sleepy head, can you say Papa, Paapaa" Ollie said. Artemis looked confused at her father but then she saw Dinah walk into the room in her Black Canary costume "Mama, mama" Dinah had a smile on her face while Ollie looked devasted "What, not fair. I try every day to have her say papa and you go for one day shopping with her and suddenly she said mama."
"Don't be a baby Ollie and let's go" Dinah said as she picked up Artemis.
A few minutes later they arrived at the cave. Zatanna who heard that Artemis was coming stood there waiting for her. As soon as Artemis saw her she struggled against Dinah's hold. Dinah sat her down on the ground and Artemis started to run to Zatanna. Ollie and Dinah smiled when Zatanna picked Artemis up and started to tickle her.
"You look so cute today Arty, did mama buy that dress for you?" Zatanna asked as she noticed the green dress Artemis was wearing.
Artemis noticed something behind Zantanna's back and tried to see what it is. Zatanna knew what Artemis was doing so she sat her on the ground and Artemis started to run to Zatanna's back and saw a big brown teddy bear. Zatanna turned around and saw Artemis looking at the bear with wide eyes "Do you want the bear, Pumpkin?" Zantanna asked and gave Artemis the bear. The bear was almost as big as Artemis herself, so when she tried to show the bear to Dinah and Ollie she tripped. Artemis started crying and Ollie was at her side instantly "O my, do you an auwie. Does daddy need to kiss it to make it better?" Artemis nodded with tears in her eyes. Ollie grabbed her elbow gently and kissed it "See all better now, do you want to name it?" Artemis nodded and said "Ollie, Ollie" Oliver smiled proudly "You want to name your bear after me?" Artemis looked at Oliver with a smile before she nodded. "Ha, she may have said mama before papa but she named her bear after me. Chew on that pretty bird" Oliver said to Dinah with an evil smile on his face.
Dinah was about to answer as her communicator went off "Black Canary, yes… what do you mean he has escaped. No of course I want to help. Oke bye. Sportsmaster escaped." Dinah said as she walked towards the zeta tubes "You coming?" She asked Ollie.
"Yeah, be right there, now Artemis you need to stay here for a while okay. Zatanna I want you to tell West that if he hurt even one hair on her cute little head, I will be coming for him." Ollie said as he gave Artemis to Zatanna "Daddy no go." Artemis said as she tried to follow Black Canary and Green Arrow.
Zatanna pick up Artemis as she walked to the living room where rest of the team was. Artemis started to cry loudy. "Shh Artemis, he will be back before you know it. Look its Ollie and he want a big hug from you." Zatanna said as she gave Artemis Ollie the bear.
"O my god look who is here today, your big brother Roy." Zatanna said as she sat Artemis down on Roy's lap "No.. no I am not her big bro-" Roy stopped mid-sentence when he saw her big grey eyes filled with tears "Mommy, Daddy Bye bye."
Roy looked at the one year old "Oh no baby, they will be right back but they need to make sure that you're safe because a meanie escaped from prison." Roy said in his baby voice
Zatanna remembered something "Oh and Wally, I need to say to you that if you hear even a hair on Artemis's head GA will come for you" Everyone chuckled except for Wally of course "Why do I wan't to hurt her. And why am I the only one who's getting a warning. "Wally shouted a little too loud because after a few second they heard a whimper and saw Artemis with eyes full of tears.
"Oh no Arty, don't cry. Please" Kid flash tried to calm her down but she already started to cry.
"WWWWWAAAAAAAA"
"Nice going, kid idiot" Superboy said as he covered his ears and that was followed by the rest of the team until Roy started to sing a lullaby
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds
And drives away his fear
Must Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for ev'ryone
And there's a cross for me
When Roy was finished Artemis was fast sleeping in his arms. Everyone sighed in relief and then looking at Wally "I think that is part of the reason why you got that warning Wally. You can't talk loud when there is a baby nearby, they have sensitive hearing." Robin said to Wally, who looked down to the ground.
"Wow Roy where did you learned that lullaby?" Aqualad asked.
"Dinah used to sing that to me when I was younger. It's a life safer to know at least two lullaby's." Roy said as he stood up and brought Artemis to her room. He lay her down on the bed and pulled to cover up and gave a kiss on her forehead "Good night little sis."
"I knew you would like her sooner other than later." Someone whispered from the door way. Roy turned around and saw Wonder Woman standing there with a smile on her face.
"what are you doing here, Wonder Woman?" Roy said while he put a pacifier in Artemis's mouth.
Wonder Woman laughed "Did you really think Oliver and Dinah trust Artemis with Kid Flash without an adult"
