What the Future Holds

Labor

Once Bruce had gotten Wally to the Watch Tower he wasted no time, he opened up the intercom and simply stated in a hurry. "Wally's going into labour, J'onn meet us in the medical bay now." He closed intercom and turned into the medical bay with Wally, getting him into a gown and helping him up onto the bed ready and waiting. J'onn came in not a moment later with all the other members of the Justice League not far behind.

Once in the room he starts hooking Wally up to a machine that monitors his heart rate, one that monitors his contractions, and finally one that monitors the baby in case it becomes distressed or something else that J'onn needs to make sure he can help before it gets to severe. As he's doing all this he starts asking the couple some need to know questions. "When did his water brake?"

"About 20 to half an hour ago." Bruce states constantly looking from Wally to the machines he was getting connected to, worried sick about his little family.

Wally smiles at him when their eyes meet and squeezes his hand softly to reassure him everything will be okay. Then looks at J'onn, "25 minutes ago." Wally states with a smile, Bruce looking at him rather stunned. If he was nervous he could only image what Wally was feeling, then Wally goes and shows he was able to keep perfect track of the time. In fact, now that Bruce thought about it, Wally did look very calm. This made Bruce calm almost automatically, knowing that if Wally wasn't in distress then he must be fine. However, Bruce didn't want to be a worry wart, especially when things would start picking up, he knew Wally wouldn't be able to stay calm, may even become quite scared, Bruce really needed to get a grip and be Wally's rock, even if he was scared to death he couldn't allow Wally to know this. Not right now at least, maybe after the baby was born and everything was in the all clear, then he could be honest with Wally.

"How far apart are the contractions?" J'onn questioned as he continued preparing everything.

"15 minutes apart. They only last about 5 minutes, give or take a minute." Bruce answered, and the look with the smile he got from Wally was indescribable. It wasn't surprise...or maybe it was, but there was a thank you in those eyes that he didn't quite understand until he noticed the way his hand gently rubbed under his large stomach. It was a contraction that he was breathing through. Therefore, wouldn't have been able to answer that question right now. Bruce smiles in return, bent down and kissed him lightly on the forehead whispering softly for only him to hear. "Your doing so well love, I'm so proud of you." Wally teared up at that kissing him on the lips once the contraction was over and that's all Bruce needed to know that Wally liked his soft words of encouragement. Bruce doesn't think he's ever told Wally he's proud of him before but seeing the utter brightness that emanated from him with a powerful glow, it was worth it.

"Awe, your glowing so much brighter suddenly! It must be because the baby is almost here." Wonder Woman squealed as the other members agreed, because apparently people glow when they are pregnant. Wally didn't really think much of it when they mentioned it for the first time, but when he and Bruce where alone together shortly after the announcement and answering all their friends questions as best as possible, Bruce had agreed he did indeed look like he was glowing, Wally felt so special and blushed brightly red that he grew to like that comment very much.

"I have to say now that you all will not be allowed to stay in here once Wally hits nine centre meters, because it will be too much for him and it will be too crowded." J'onn explained to the other members who all seemed to understand and nod their heads. J'onn then turned back to Wally after everything was set up and he had a pair of gloves on. "On a scale of one to ten, ten being the highest, how would you rate your pain?" J'onn asked as he put a liquid on his gloved fingers.

"I'd say they are more sore. Maybe a little bit of a tinge...I'd say about three and a half, maybe four." Wally explained, not really sure how to rate what he was feeling right know. He was more focused on the bubbly feeling inside him telling him he's going to see his baby soon.
