Jamie West // Book 2 // The Flash

Ja(i)m(i)e

EARTH-2
It was kinda unusual for a baby to be home after being born early, but this baby wasn't normal. This new chapter in Jamie's life was gonna be difficult, but her friends and family assured her that everything was gonna be fine. When she arrived home, in Keystone City, everything was fine. Jamie and Barry were walking to her door, after driving no more than a couple hours from Central City. After arriving, Barry carried Willow in her car seat, while the newly tired baby momma was unlocking the door to her house, and when she opened it, everyone screamed "SURPRISE". Jamie was shocked and surprised to see decorations, presents, people, and safe to say so was Willow. I say that because she woke up crying so loud, Mt. Rushmore might've heard. Jamie looks at her baby in sadness, and takes the car seat heading to her room, ignoring everyone. When she opens the door to her room, she sees a crib on the side of her bed, baby clothes, toys, anything baby really on her bed, and Merlin in her room. He looks at her in shock because no one told him Jamie was home. Jamie looked around the room amazed.

"I'm sorry. I just need to get her back to sleep. You mind-".

"Yeah. I can go. Um, I'll see you in a little bit", Merlin says, before walking out Jamies room, and closing the door.

Iris was wondering if Jamie said anything, and Merlin just shook his head no. Jesse also gave them a "I told you so" look, because she did remind them to not yell so loud.

Lets just say these past months have been a rollercoaster. Jamie's been getting help from Barry, Iris, Jesse, Tracy, Merlin, even Harry, but her therapist Kinsey, noticed a shift in Jamie's mood.

Jamie was at her weekly therapy session. It started maybe 15 minutes ago and nothing has been said. Jamie just sat on the couch, as Willow was in the stroller next to her asleep. Jamie was looking at the ground, emotionless, playing with her hands, and looking tired, as a new mothers with little to no sleep looks.

"How are you?", Kinsey finally asked.

"Fine, I guess. Just tired", Jamie says.

"I'm sure. Having a newborn is eventful. Have you been getting sleep?", Kinsey asked.

"Not really. Maybe 30 minutes to an hour. I barely have time to shower. She's up all the time. She's either crying, hungry, needing her diaper changed, or eating. I knew it would be difficult doing it alone. But this is worse than difficult", Jamie says.

"You're not alone", Kinsey says. "You have your family, friends".

"I am alone", Jamie says, looking at Kinsey. "You wouldn't get it".

"What don't I get?", Kinsey says.

"This. Everything. I am stressed, tired. My house is a hot mess. I am sick of my "friends", telling me how to take care of her, hold her, and use my powers to get stuff done quicker. Oh, and my sister, she pissed me off most of all. I see the way she looks at Willow. Like she's the devil. She wanted me to give her away".

"She said this", Kinsey asks.

"She didn't have to. I see the way she looks", Jamie says, frustratedly. "I hate this. This wasn't the plan".

"You talk about this plan a lot. Why?".

"Why? I loved him to the point where I would've sacrificed everything, but he didn't love me enough...love us enough to do the same", Jamie cries. "How am I supposed to love my daughter as much as I loved him? Everytime I look at her, I know that like her father, she'll eventually leave me too. I feel bad for feeling this way. I don't hate my daughter. I love her. But everyone I love leaves. My mother left me, my father, my brother. Hunter".

"Everyone you named died, Jamie", Kinsey.

"I know. I know. I just- I don't know. I don't know why I feel like this", Jamie says.
