I eat reviews! I won't add a cliffhanger to this chapter, this story will also only be a few chapters long. Birdflash baby will make a big appearance. And i'll update I'm Whelmed tomorrow or later tonight. This is a year after Wally died so the baby will be 6 months old, Invasion is over, blah, blah, blah. This should be a reeeeaallly long chapter.

Enjoy!

Wally: 21

Riley: 18

Wally was... irritated, to say the least.

The only thing he remember was him telling his Uncle Barry to tell Riley he loved her... and then nothing. But as he slowly came back to earth, his Uncle Barry looked like he was going to cry, whoever entered the room he was in looked at him with pity in their eyes, but he hasn't seen Nightwing at all. His Uncle Barry told him that she was still working as Nightwing, but didn't work as much anymore due to health problems.

Wally worried for her, he knew she didn't get information on him being alive yet, but his uncle told him that he might see her in a few hours. Right now though, he wasn't allowed to leave his room, which he thought was more like a little prison cell right now. He's seen the whole team so far, including Batman, who glared at him more than normal... but no Nightwing.

He was told that something happened while he... died, but they said Riley would tell him once they saw each other. He was also told that it was 4:00 am and she was probably sleeping and not on patrol.

He just has to wait and be patient... yeah right.

A loud wail could be heard from the small flat in Bludhaven.

Riley groaned quietly and rolled out of the bed her and Wally used to share, she never moved out of her and Wally's apartment. She walked into the nursery next to her room and to the crib, gently picking up a small, six month old baby and bouncing him gently.

"Shh, it's okay, shh, mommy's here," the young mother whispered to her baby boy in her arms.

Thomas Rudolph John Grayson-West was his name and he had black messy hair, just like his mother, his father's skin and stunning jade green eyes, even though he had jet black hair he had light freckles. She knew it was a big name, but she wanted to name her baby after Bruce's father, her father, and Wally, and since she and Wally never got married his last name is Grayson-West.

Riley thanked every god she could think of, thankful that her baby looked more like his father than her. Thomas was beautiful in her eyes, he looked so much like his father and acted like him too and Riley was so happy about that.

The second she saw her baby boy after she had given birth to him she was in tears, but never shedding them, but when he finally opened his eyes from his sleep her breath left and she started crying. Instead of going to a hospital she gave birth in Dr. Leslie's clinic. The place closed for the day just for her, knowing that nobody would want to hear a young woman screaming in pain.

Bruce... he was furious when she told him she was pregnant. It wasn't that he was mad at her, he was mad at Wally. Even though Wally was dead, Bruce felt like strangling him for hurting his little girl. But when he met Thomas his heart melted, and he was shocked that she named him after his own father. To say the least, Thomas could melt the hearts of anyone, just like his mother did when she was a child.

Thomas whimpered and latched his mouth on his mother's finger that was softly stroking his rosy chubby cheek. Figuring he was just lonely and didn't want to be alone without his mother, Riley sat down on the rocking chair in the corner that was a present from Alfred and Leslie.

"I wish your father could meet you, or know about you, but I know that he would love you so, so much," she said quietly, her voice cracking.

"We've contacted Nightwing, she should be on her way. We've asked her to bring in... a special guest with her, also." Batman said in his usually stoic tone.

Wally was getting mad, and impatient. Who was this "guest" they kept talking about?! Did Nightwing get another boyfriend or something? He really really hoped that's not it. But, he couldn't stand waiting, he's been gone for a year, and he can't even imagine the pain he's put Nightwing through when he "died".

"Who is this "guest" and mystery person you people keep talking about?!"

The league members who didn't have a mask or didn't have anything covering their eyes looked at him in pity and sorrow, those looks sent a feeling of dread through his stomach. What if she was paralyzed, or practically dead?!

"Can we just tell him?" Artemis whispered. The whole team was their, and so was the Original Seven. After having sll test done to prove that he was the real Wally, they headed to the mission room to meet up with Nightwing and Wally was practically buzzing with mixed feelings.

The League looked at each other as if they were having a silence conversation. Finally, Batman sighed, and nodded.

"When you died, Nightwing was devastated, and she went into shock - but it wasn't serious - so we had to bring her to the medical wing in the Mountain to see if she was healthy. But before that she told me that she wouldn't be able to go do field work and had to stay with monitor duty. When you were still alive, did you notice anything strange about her?" Batman asked.

Wally took a moment to think about and responded; "Yeah she ate a lot and got snappy at times, she'd also throw up in the middle of the night and in the mornings. Why?" M'gann - who was by Lagaan Boy - let out a sob. But nobody paid attention to it, and instead looked at Wally with sad eyes.

"When M'gann and Kaldur looked at her in the medical wing they made a... shocking discovery. It turns out that Nightwing was, well, as M'gann put it one year ago, Nightwing was pregnant with your child, Wally."

Wally stared at Batman and the other heroes with wide, glassy eyes. He couldn't believe it...

"Recognize: Nightwing, recognize: unknown."

Everyone except Batman and Wally left the room as Nightwing walked in with a blue bag swung over her shoulder and a small bundle of different colored blue blankets in her arms. She didn't look up, as she was staring at the baby - who's face Wally couldn't see - and adjusted him in her arms.

"I don't know why you wanted me so early, Thomas was sleeping, I finally got him to go to bed. And I have no clue why you wanted me to bring him with me." Nightwing explained, still not looking up at the two males.

"Riley."

Nightwing's head slowly lifted up, knowing that if Batman was using her real name it must have been important. But her eyes stared blankly at Wally, who was only ten feet away from her and Thomas.

"Before you say anything, Wally didn't really die. He just came back. That's really all I can say about the situation. I'll just leave you two be," Batman gave a death glare at Wally, but left the room, his cape swooshing behind him.

"Ri, b-babe... i'm so sorry..." Wally let the tears go.

Riley took her mask off carefully, still not believing what she was seeing, or hearing. And slowly walked over to Wally, carefully cradling the baby boy who was still sleeping with one arm, Riley lifted her hand, as though to touch his cheek, and -

Smack!

Wally's head was pushed to the side from the impact and he stared at Riley in disbelief. But the look on her face broke his heart.

Tears were streaming down her cheeks and she was shaking, her eyes held so many emotions he couldn't even name.

"Babe, it's going to be okay... i'm so sorry," Wally whispered, drawing her and her - their - baby into his arms. Her bag fell to the ground as she let out a sob. She cradled their baby in her arms as he held them to his chest; her upper arm by his shoulder, so she was half side-ways against his chest, her face buried in his neck as she cried.

As if sensing his mother's emotions, Thomas stirred and opened his eyes, yawning and rubbing at his jade eyes that held so much innocence. He cooed sadly, gaining his parents attention, and Wally breathed in sharply, noticing how much he looked like himself.

"S-so, whats his name, Tom?" Wally asked, his voice shaking.

Riley sniffed and looked down at her baby boy, smiling gently. "His name is Thomas Rudolph John Grayson-West,"

"Geez, long name, doncha yah think?" Wally chuckled quietly and wiped away his own tears.

"Yeah, but I named him after Bruce's dad, my dad and you..." she trailed off.

Wally kissed her forehead. "I'm so sorry, I-I didn't know." After a moment of hesitation Wally asked; "Can I hold him...?"

Riley nodded her head with a water smile as Wally held out his arms, she carefully let go of their baby and put him in his father's awaiting arms. Wally's breath left him as he realized how small he was.

"How old is he?"

"He's over about six month old, when you... died, I was three months pregnant and I was going to tell you but you left before I could," her voice shook again.

Trying to stop himself from kissing her and telling her he's sorry - again - he looked down at Thomas with a smile on his face. "Hiya, buddy, i'm your daddy..." It sounded weird on his tongue, but at the same time it felt so right. He loved his baby boy, their baby boy. It seemed just like yesterday when Wally first met Riley, them starting a team and breaking into Cadmus and sharing their first kiss.

"I love you, so much," Wally whispered as he leaned his forehead against hers, mindful of the baby.

It was like a dream come true, Wally coming back and meeting their baby. The perfect combination of both of them. She smiled happily. "I love you too," and she leaned up and kissed him.

Thomas clapped his small hands together as he looked at him mommy and daddy in fascination, he gurgled, gaining both adult's attention. They both pecked their baby on the mouth and just held each other, contently and together.

DAMN! Longest thing i've ever wrote EVER! It isn't over yet, i'm going to add some cute fluff in, and i'll be updating I'm Whelmed tomorrow, i'm so tired...

Wally is so freaking dense. And I know, Thomas has a really long name. Welp. Next chapter should be up soon!
