Okay, so this is the second to last chapter, and I hope you like it. Thank you for all the feedback and reviews (100+ yay!) and I've decided I'm going to write a Zatanna/Dick story, just because I haven't actually written a story with that pairing, but thank you anyway for giving me your thoughts!

So I hope you like chapter!

Tradition Number 12: When pregnant, the husband must obey the wife's every whims.

Wally thought that he was though the hard part in his life. Seriously, he had seen the love of his life die (twice!) come back from the dead himself, fought hardened criminals, travelled to alien planets, travelled in time, and much, much more.

He had thought that that was the hard part.

Obviously, he was completely unprepared for having to look after his pregnant wife.

Artemis was… temperamental at the best of times. Usually at 'that time of the month,' Wally would do his best to steer clear of his wife. So when it came to her being pregnant, Artemis was literally off the wall. She would be laughing one moment, and then bawling her eyes out the next. Her food cravings were worse than his, and she nearly ate as much as he did. It scared Wally, and weirdly enough, it also made him love her even more.

Artemis was now around nine months pregnant, and Wally had once tactlessly told her that she was huge (which, by the way, resulted in a heated argument and Artemis throwing a vase at him.) She seemed to lie down on the couch more often, and Wally was usually there to massage her feet or to get her books and food.

Wally was trying his best to be the best husband ever, but between juggling work and superhero work, it was a little hard for him to handle someone like his Spitfire, so usually, he called in reinforcements. And today, he decided it was newlyweds Dick and Zatanna to have a turn.

The doorbell rung, signalling that his back up was here, and Wally sped to the door and practically pulled them inside.

"Hi to you to," Zatanna said, rolling her eyes.

Wally yelled something too fast for anyone to hear, and sped off to the grocery store. Artemis had wanted pickles and chocolate ice cream, so Wally had to get it.

When he returned, he dumped the contents next to Artemis, who beamed at him. He beamed right back, and then sat on the floor near her feet. He had to admit, ever since Artemis was pregnant, he could totally tell why people said women get a glowing look when they were pregnant. Artemis looked particularly radiant these days.

"Zee and Dick were just telling me about their honeymoon," Artemis said, with a slight frown on her face, "and let me tell you, they gave me waay to many details."

Wally was so tired, he could only mumble out a feeble, "Dog," to the cackling acrobat.

"Enough about us, though. When's the baby due?" Zatanna asked excitedly.

"Any day now," Artemis replied, patting her stomach affectionately. She then proceeded to dip a pickle in her ice cream, which even Wally found gross, "but that reminds me, there's something we've been meaning to ask you. Wally?" She nudged him with her toe.

Wally, who was nearly falling asleep at her feet, jerked awake, "What?" he asked groggily.

"Remember the thing we wanted to ask them?" Artemis said pointedly.

It took a second for Wally's mind to catch up (in his defence, he had been getting up at all hours of the night to get things for Artemis.)

"Oh, yeah," he said, finally remembering. He looked at the faces of his two best friends, "there was something we wanted to ask. Would you guys be godparents to our kid?"

There was sudden reaction of noise, with Zatanna jumping up and squealing, hugging Artemis tight. Dick looked extremely stunned, and extremely pleased.

"Seriously, you want us to be god parents?" he asked.

"What child wouldn't want a magician and a crime fighter for god parents?" Artemis asked teasingly, "of course we want you. We wouldn't have asked-" she broke off, a sudden flash of pain flitting across her face.

Wally jumped into action, "Was that a contraction? Or was that just the baby kicking? Do we go to the hospital now? Do we need to get an ambulance? Do you need a Panadol? Should we call the League?"

Artemis swatted him away, "No, we do not need the League. It was a contraction, Wall-Man. I think I'm going to have a baby now. Can you get the car please?"

"Oh my God! You're going to have a baby! You're going to have a baby! Holy shit, Dick! She's going to have a baby!" Zatanna squealed, jumping up and down and grabbing Dick's arm.

Dick rolled his eyes and mumbled something, probably along the lines of 'funnily enough, I managed to figure that out', but Wally didn't hear it because he raced off, getting the car and bringing it to the front.

Zatanna and Dick helped Artemis inside the car.

"Call my parents, and Artemis's family, and tell them we're at Keystone hospital, okay?" he yelled, and then squealed of out of the driveway.

He dove as fast as he legally could, his breath coming out shorter each time. He felt a warm pressure on his arm, "Wally, relax. Deep breaths, okay? I'm going to be fine," Artemis reassured him in a calm, loving voice.

Wally nodded, and then suddenly swerved the car to avoid hitting the truck in front of him.

"Wally! Could you please try not to get us killed? I have to deliver our baby!" Artemis yelled at him, hitting his arm.

Ah, there was his nagging, irritable Spitfire.

Wally managed to get to the emergency lane at Keystone hospital without causing any major traffic dilemmas, and he got out of the car and starting jumping up and down, yelling at the standby nurses about his pregnant wife.

The nurses rolled their eyes at him, and they got Artemis in a wheelchair and took her in. Wally hovered nervously behind.

"Are you the father?" the nurse asked him.

"What?"

"Of her children. Are you the father of her children?" the nurse asked more patiently.

"I hope so," Wally said jokingly, trying to ease the tension.

Instead, he got a death glare from Artemis (who was now lying on the hospital bed) and a creeped-out look from the nurse.

"Okay, I need you to fill out these forms. Would you be staying for the delivery?" the nurse asked.

Wally was very tempted to say no, because come on, he had been to the Lamaze classes, and he knew that being there wouldn't be good, but after catching another glare from Artemis, Wally decided that it would be best to say yes.

"The doctor will be in shortly," the nurse informed them, and walked out.

Wally went over to Artemis, smiling at her and smoothing her hair down.

"It's going to be alright babe," he said.

"I know that!" Artemis snapped, her face contorting as another contraction happened.

Wally gulped, and just went back to smoothing her hair down. He wished that his mom or Iris were there; someone who actually could help Artemis.

"Wally?" Artemis asked, her voice sounding pained.

"Yeah, babe?"

"Promise me you won't faint again," Artemis said.

Wally winced at the memory, but nodded, placing a light kiss on Artemis's head, "I promise I will be here with you till the very end."

"Artemis West; is it?" the doctor asked, making his way inside the room.

Wally nodded, and the doctor gestured for the nurses to come in. The began setting up immediately, and the doctor took his place.

"Ah, I think we're about ready. Can you push for me, Artemis?" the doctor asked.

Artemis nodded, and squeezed Wally's hand for good measure. She began screaming and twisting in the sheets, her hand cutting of all the circulation in Wally's. Wally tried his best to soothe her and be encouraging, but honestly, he wanted to do whatever he could to stop the pain.

After what seemed like forever, and loud cry echoed from the room; and Wally looked to see the doctor holding up a new born baby. His new born baby.

"It's a boy," the doctor said happily, and passed it to the nurse so she could clean him.

Wally gave Artemis a huge smile, which she returned tiredly. She looked completely worn out and exhausted. Her face than contorted in pain again.

"Artemis!" Wally cried, "Doc! What's wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong, it's just the second baby coming out," the doctor replied warmly.

"There's another baby? We're having twins?" Wally yelled out, half in happiness and half in terror.

"I'm going to have to go through all that pain again? Damn you, West! This is your entire fault!" Artemis cried out, squeezing Wally's hand again as she pushed.

Finally, after what seemed like hours, Artemis was resting in her bed, a happy, worn out look on her face, with their baby girl in her arms. Wally was holding their boy, rocking him gently as he kissed Artemis.

"Babe, I know that every couple says this, but can I just say, we made some fantastic looking kids," Wally told her.

Artemis laughed lightly, "Oh, I know. No one could be prettier than our little Iris, or as handsome as our Jai."

"I wonder if they're going to have my speed; that would be so cool!"

"I hope not. Can you imagine our food bill?"

"It's not like we pay for it anyway."

There was gentle tapping on the door, and Paula, Mary and Iris walked in, with Barry and Bart at their heels.

"Oh, twins? They're so beautiful!" Paula gushed, holding her hands out eagerly as Wally gave Jai to her, and Artemis gave Iris to Mary.

"Must be a speedster thing," Barry said, clapping Wally on the back, "our kids are with the Garricks."

"So what are their names?" Bart asked, peering curiously at Iris.

"The boy's Jai, and the girl is Iris."

"Really? You called her Iris? Oh, Wally, thank you!" Iris gushed, beaming at both Artemis and Wally.

Barry frowned, "Hey, how come I don't get a kid named after me?"

"You've got Bart," Wally said, rolling his eyes as Iris hit Barry on the arm.

"Did you even get a chance to choose the name, Artemis?" Rudolph asked, picking up Jai from his wife and rocking him gently.

Artemis held out her hand, and rather reluctantly, Iris gave Iris back to her.

"Actually, I picked them both out. Wally wanted to call them Velocity and Speed," Artemis said.

The whole family groaned, while Wally said rather defensively, "Hey, they were totally cool and unique names!"

I'm going to say right now, that writing the pregnancy part was really weird and awkward for me, because I have no idea as to what actually happens, and most of that was based on movies about pregnancy. Again, I'm sorry for the sucky ending but I really couldn't think of a better way to end the chapter! So the last chapter should be uploaded shortly, but thank you for reading and please review!
