"Hush hush my little boy. Please go to sleep. Tomorrow we'll… um, play with a toy. From you, there will not be another peep." Wally sings as he rocks Ethan in his arms. Ethan cries louder. Wally starts to cry with Ethan. "Why don't you sleep? Please. Ethan, I have school in a few hours." Wally tried to reason. Ethan cried louder and louder. Wally lays Ethan down in his crib. He leans over the crib and cries, "Please sleep. Or just stop crying." A thought struck Wally. Wally placed his hand over Ethan's mouth and was met with seconds of silence before he remembered babies don't breath out of their nose. Wally's eyes wide, he says, "I'm so sorry Ethan. I just need you to stop crying. For a minute. Please."
Wally hears a soft knocking on his bedroom door. He looks up and sees his Uncle Barry enter the room. Wally has tears streaming down his face. He wipes his eyes as he says, "Hi Uncle Barry."
"Wally. I'll take care of Ethan. Go to sleep on the couch. I'll wake you up for school."
Wally clears his throat. "You said Ethan was my responsibility. I have to stay up with him."
"You're so tired you're gonna end up shaking Ethan or something. It's alright kiddo. I'll stay up with the baby. You go get some sleep."
Wally heads for the door. He looks back at Barry. Barry was about to pick up Ethan, But Wally used his superspeed to run towards Barry and wrap his arms around Barry.
"Kiddo?"
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, kid. Go get some sleep."
Wally went to school. Just did as he was told. Turned down, numerous girls. And he awaited the final bell to dismiss him. He ran out of the doors. He just needs five more minutes of sleep and he'll be off to the cave. He runs (at an average speed) to his home. He notices a police car in his driveway. He walks up the driveway. Slowly opens the door. Inside a policeman is chatting away with his aunt and uncle.
He makes himself known when he shuts the door. "What's going on."
"Wally?" The policeman questions.
"Yeah." Wally notices his uncle holding Ethan. He walks over and holds his hands out. His uncle hands him Ethan. "What's going on." Wally rocks Ethan back and forth.
"We may have found the mother."
"Really? I'm not giving up custody or anything. She didn't want him."
"Oh no. We aren't talking about that. She willingly gave up custody by abandoning the baby. We are talking about child support and back pay for the few months that you have been on your own."
"How do we find out…" Wally trails off.
"There's a girl that went to the doctors once. She thought she was sick with the flu. They told her she was pregnant. They never saw her again. She stopped attending school after five months. That's when the baby probably started showing. Just need you to clarify that you slept with her and we can issue a warrant for a maternity test." The officer shows a picture of a woman with black hair with blue streaks, blue eyes. She's not the thinnest, but far from fat. Wally's eyes glow.
"That's Stacy killion. I slept with her. Twice."
"We'll issue the warrant for a maternity test. As soon as possible." The officer stands up.
That's what they did. The warrant was issued. Stacy was forced to do the test. And the results came back. Stacy Killion- you are the mother!
"So, do you let her see the baby?" Artemis asks.
"No." Wally sighs. "She left Ethan on my doorstep. Someone could've kidnapped him. Or worse. She gave up her rights as a parent the moment she abandoned him. Why should she get to see my son?"
"Good point." She internally smiles. "Can I hold him, Wally?"
Wally smiles and hands Ethan to Artemis. "Sure can." He whispers. "Don't want to jinx it, but this is like the first night he's not crying."
"He's so cute."
"Yeah. I love him so much. I can't imagine life without him now that I have him."
"You are pretty lucky." Artemis hands Ethan back to Wally. Wally takes his baby boy with joy in his eyes. He holds Ethan up in the air.
"Lucky? How? I'm an unmarried teenage father." He holds Ethan close to his chest.
"But with so many people willing to help you, you are lucky. With a girl willing to be a stepmom if you'd have her, I'd say you're lucky."
"A girl? Who?"
"Me you dolt."
"I didn't know you liked me."
"I didn't know you fuck anything with a skirt on."
Wally laughed. "Hey. Some of those girls wore pants."
Artemis rolled her eyes. She lightly, careful of the baby, punched Wally in the shoulder. "Wanna take me out?"
"Of course I do. How about we get Robin to babysit? I'll take you out wherever you'd like to go."
"Sounds like a plan."
