A/N: thanks to Mr. Wartburg, Irenerb, NoLongerHidden, and Player Zero for the reviews. Here I am at the end of this story. I just hope you all remember the beginning. Also, props to anyone who recognizes the chapter name.
Octavarium
Five years after his return from the dead, Wally received the mantle of The Flash, Fastest Man Alive, from his Uncle Barry. Bart was still Kid Flash, and was now starting to catch up. His encounter with the Speed Force had thrown the plans of Vandal Savage out of balance and in the end; the threat of Darkseid was mopped up with ease. Yet what had him most nervous on the early October day wasn't his obligation to Central City.
His wife, Artemis Lian Crock West, had just gone into labor. Barry had drifted away from teaching his kids to control their speed to help patrol while Wally waited to become a father just like his mentor.
"Took you long enough," his wife shouted between pushes.
"Sorry beautiful. Got hung up while transferring the ring over to Barry. Hartley helped out a little, creating a small break in crime."
"Oh, that's just wonderful," Artemis said, continuing to push. "How about you sit down and shut up!" Wally did as she asked and watched as the woman he loved suffered. He wanted to do so much to relieve her pain, but there was nothing to be done, other than wait, and block out his heroic instinct.
After seven grueling normal hours, the screams of a newborn filled the room, overpowering the grunts coming from the child's mother. When she was handed her daughter, she turned to Wally.
"I know the perfect name." He glanced down at his daughter and smiled.
"Is it the one I think it is? From before we were together?"
"Yes."
Smiling, Wally leaned down so he was close to the two most important women in his life. "Welcome to the family, Linda Jay West."
A/N: DONE!
