The chapter in which there is a time skip
Year 8
January 1st
Dear Wally
She's 7 and that's another year of my life gone. Where'd all that time go? Blair had a party and all her friends from school came obviously the Graysons decided to make an appearance Zee made Blair a cake and she got most of it on her face, she also threw some at Dick. Baby Gio sat in a high chair and laughed at 5 months old he looks like a little cherub, he's got this mass of black curls that frame his round face. He could be in one of those diaper commercials. Mary turned 6 in November, it's just weird I remember back when she was this tiny little raisin looking thing, with a few little swirls of ebony hair. How have you been gone for nearly a decade? I'm in my thirties I'm officially old. My life is just slipping away. Yes I love it here, but it's boring, and unexciting. I suppose it's what I need, I've had a lot of excitement in my life, and maybe I need boring to balance it out. But in a comparison to the things I used to do, life is just so mundane.
Damn you Wallace.

My mom's sick…. Really sick. Blair doesn't even know who she is, what if she's never gets to meet her. What if our kid never knows where she's from? I haven't been back to America since, I can't even remember I think it was just after Blair was born. Zee doesn't visit as much anymore, dick and she have their lives and I have mine. I see her once a year, it's not like it used to be.
Damn you Wallace.
February 27th
Dear Wally
I came home from my impromptu trip to Gotham to see my mom to find the house empty. I had a mini heart attack, then remember that she's at the palace and this is the safest place on earth. I highly doubt that my dad or sister found her within the 24 hours I was not home. Right? I just have to breathe.
The streets are eerily quiet and I feel like I'm missing out on something. I'm not there are still falcons out on patrol and kids in the street. She's probably as safe as she's ever going to be. Right?
Damn you Wallace

Dear Wally
Please tell me how many 7 year olds you've met that are so ridiculously stubborn that they refuse to climb down off *insert the object she's climbed this time* until I meet some random demand. This is exhausting. Can I just. You have no idea how hard this is. How does anyone ever do this? It's so hard. I'm so tired I haven't had much time for me lately. I've had so much work, and so many things on my plate, I feel like my life is just passing by.
Damn you Wallace.

Dear Wally
Pretty sure, your kid is bonkers. Alaric, Kent, Lacy, Nik, Bree and Finland, came with us today for a picnic up on the west mountain. We sat on one of the ledges overlooking the lake. Pretty sure you can guess what happened next. She jumped. She jumped off the freakin' ledge, what is wrong with her. Did I drop her at some point? Did I just block this out? I can't understand, this crazy obsession with death defying, adrenalin seeking antics that will get her killed. She just has no regard for her life, how does one accomplish this, crazy midset? Is it the red hair? I mean you used to have this strange habit back when you started being a hero.
Damn you Wallace.

Dear Wally
School breaks up soon. I'm dreading it. More opportunity for the little devil to get in trouble. She's so your kid.
Damn you Wallace.

Dear Wally
She stole a falcon jeep. I think she need some kind of outlet, she's just crazy, no one cares, they find it funny she just talks to everybody, all the time. That's from you. You buttmunch. She runs with nelson up the mountain and back but he's getting old and I don't know how much longer he'll be around he's slowed down a lot over the last year. He's getting old. He's one of my last reminders of you. I don't know what I'm going to do when we lose him.
Damn you Wallace.
June 8th
Dear Wally
We got in a water fight today, I'm summer childcare, seeing as I'm the only one who's off, the queen's busy being the queen and everyone else is either a scientist, a doctor, a lawyer or a falcon. So we went to the lake, after the water fight it made seeing as we we're already soaked. I forgot the sunscreen and Blair burned a little bit.
Damn you Wallace.

Dear Wally
Blair's insistent on only eating pizza, oh and fries. She's also decided she wants to sleep in the attic, I'm probably going to have to end up converting it at some point. I'm so weak when it comes to her, I literally cave at almost every request. God I'm pathetic. This is just crazy, It's amazing how much everything has changed In eight years.
Damn you Wallace.
I own nothing except Blair. I'm kinda tired. I'm going to finish this soon, I know how I'm going to end will probably be a sequel with will lead on form the epilogue of the book. The time skips will probably happen again at some point maybe maybe not, I might just go back to doing the long one chapter entry with the year. So I love you my lovelies. xxx
