Author’s note: MORE SPITFIRE WITH THEIR BABIES

“You sure you’re ok with them?” Wally scoffs at the worry in his wife’s voice.

“Babe, I’ve handled world-saving missions and being Dick Grayson’s best friend for years. I can handle putting my kids to bed.” Wally looks at the toddlers. Jania sits on his lap as he brushes the tangles from her wet hair. Matt and Jania are enthralled in Big Hero Six, eating a last-minute snack before bedtime. Wally kisses his daughter’s head. “You wanna tell Mommy night-night, Jani girl?”

“Nuh-nigh, mama!” Jania blows a baby kiss at the phone.

“Night-night, Momee!” Matty toddles over, hugging his daddy’s leg. Wally puts her on speakerphone.

“How about mommy? Does she want to say goodnight?”

“Good night, my sweet boy. Goodnight, my sweet girl.” Artemis coos over the phone. “I love you both so much.”

“Wuv Momee too!”

“Wub!” Jania snuggles to her daddy.

“See you later, babe. I love you.” Wally tells his wife.

“I love you more.” Wally hangs up. He picks up Matty, holding both his kids as close as he can. He walks to their room. He wishes they could afford a bigger place, but right now the two-bedroom apartment would have to do.

“Towy, dadee…” Matty yawns, rubbing his little gray eyes. “Towy…”

Wally settles in their rocking chair. He looks over at their overstuffed bookcase. Tired of the same fairy tales, he looks down at his sleepy kids, “How about Mommy and Daddy’s story?”

“Momee and Dadee hab towy?”

“Oh yes we do.” Wally smiles at them. “I met your mommy when I was 15. Your aunties and uncles were at the beach all day, but I was at school. I ran all the way to the cave, only to fall on my face in front of a really pretty girl. You know who that was?”

“Mama…” Jania yawns, curling up in a ball.

“So smart, Jani…” Wally kisses her head and Matty’s too. “Yes. It was mommy. She and Daddy didn’t get along at first…”

Wall tells them watered-down versions of team outings and nights in. He tells them about their New Year’s kiss, smiling to himself. He tells them about going to college together and adopting Brucely. Even when they’re fast asleep, he tells them the story.

Artemis arrives home a little before 11. Stupid stupid traffic. Brucely lifts his head up as his adopted mother removes her coat. She gives him a loving pet before going to her room.

“Ba—” Her voice dies instantly. Wally isn’t in there. She tries not to panic as she goes across the hall. “Wally?”

Wally dozes in the rocking chair. Jania and Matty are sleeping soundly in their daddy’s arms. Jania cuddles her Kid Flash plushie. Artemis sighs in relief. She lifts her daughter up first, tucking her into her crib. Artemis kisses her little blonde head. “I love you, sweet girl…”

“Momee…” Matty mumbles as his mother lifts him up. Artemis smiles.

“Sh…. It’s sleepy time, baby…” Artemis tucks her son into his toddler bed. She strokes his red hair until he falls back asleep.

“Hey, beautiful.” Wally hugs her from behind, kissing the back of her neck. She smiles. Placing her hands on his.

“Hey, Baywatch. I see that they didn’t give you too much trouble.”

“That’s just because I’m super daddy.” They slip out of their children’s room. Wally gives his wife a loving kiss. “I missed you, beautiful.”

“I was gone less than a day.” She places her hands on his chest, feeling his heartbeat. “I missed you too.”

“How’s Will and Jade?”

“They’re good. Lian wants to come and see her cousins soon.” Artemis presses her face into his shirt. She’s always loved the way he smells. Wind and electricity with just a touch of sweat.

“We could always give her another cousin.” Artemis laughs at his cheeky smile.

“We have two under two. I’m good.” Artemis gives his bottom a playful swat as she heads to their room.

“I know, I am too.” Wally smiles. “Doesn’t mean we can’t practice making babies though.”

“Oh, it doesn’t?” Artemis gives him that smile. The one he fell in love with so long ago.

“Well, it depends if you want to practice, Mrs. West.”

Artemis wraps her arms around his neck, “Actually, it depends on you convincing me to practice, Mr. West.”

It’s old hat to them now, after being in love for 12 years and now with two children, but they still love the connection they have during sex. Artemis holds his face, needing to see him. Wally looks at her scars, now intercut with stretch marks from carrying their children. He presses gentle kisses to every inch of her beautiful skin. She finds constellations in his freckles.

Later, Wally and Artemis lay cuddled together in bed. Wally kisses her shoulder gently. “You still haven’t talked to M’gann or Zatanna.”

“No.” Artemis looks over at the picture on their nightstand. There had been a picture of Artemis with her former best friends. Now a family picture her mother had insisted on, with both daughters’ families, takes its place. “Are you going to lecture me about it?”

“Nope.” Artemis looks at him, genuinely confused by that answer. “Babe. What they did was right in spirit, but wrong in practice. They violated your trust and used personal information on you. I get why you're angry. I can’t speak for what they did or understand exactly how you feel. But I love you and I support you.”

“Where’s the emotionally constipated 16-year-old I feel in love with?” Artemis asks. Part of her is teasing, but there’s another pat that genuinely wonders when he changed into the man laying next to her.

“He grew up.” Wally kisses her gently. “I’ve always had your back, babe. I always will.”

Artemis turns to curl up into his chest. “I know… I know…”
