It had been a month since Artemis was put in a medically induced coma, and still no sign of progress. The twins had grown more fussy, and Wally was forced to move into the cave, where the other members of the team could help him take care of the twins, and Wally would be closer to Artemis. He sat in the hospital for at least 6 hours a day, either playing with the twins on Artemis's hospital bed, or just talking to her.
"Hey babe," Wally said and put little Aaron on the bed. Next he put Alexis on the bed. The 6 week old twins looked around and stared at their sleeping mommy. Aaron let out a little wail, and closed his eyes. "You must be hungry," Wally said and got out Aaron's bottle. Aaron hungrily sucked, his eyes closed and his breathing becoming calm. "So, Alexis slept 6 hours last night. That was good. I know you would have been happy. I just wish you were here. Awake, and spending time with our 6 week old children. After all we've gone through, you have to be in a coma. Why?" Wally was looking for answers.
"Hey Wally," M'gann said and walked into the cave's infirmary. She smiled at the twins. "I heard you were in here."
"Oh, you did? From Dick?"
"Yep. He said you were in here with the twins. How's she doing?" M'gann said gesturing to Artemis.
"No progress. It's been a month M'gann. A MONTH! No progress has been made!"
"Listen Wally, I know it seems hard right now, but Artemis is stubborn. She's a fighter. She won't give up," M'gann said.
"You're right. It's just so hard. I imagined Artemis and me fighting over late night feedings."
"I'm sure you'll have plenty more fights during their childhood, don't worry."
"How's Rosey?"
"She's okay. Connor's taking her to the store to get some stuff for tortilla soup."
"Yum, you wouldn't mind inviting a certain speedster to dinner tonight, would you?"
"Sure, you can come Wally."
"Great!"
"I guess I should go now. I'll take the twins with me if you want."
"Thanks, but I really just want our family to be together, you know what I mean."
"Yes, I know. I'll see you tonight," M'gann said and left.
"I want our family to be together. That's all I want," Wally whispered to Artemis and the twins. Together.......
