Chapter 63
They were looking at his phone as he texted Dick. "I think they're that way" she said pointing down to the other end of the mall. "Arty I think they went that way" he said pointing towards the cafeteria. She swatted him in the back of the head and crossed her arms. "Only you would say they were all in the cafeteria" she said as he nervously chuckled and nodded. They could never agree on anything. "Come on" she said taking his hand in hers and dragging him through the mall. After thirty minutes everyone finally met up with each other.
They were all discussing a plan before splitting up into groups. "So we're all meeting up in the cafeteria for dinner in like two hours right?" Wally asked for clarification as she pinched the bridge of her nose and nodded. "Oh can we go in here?" Megan asked excitedly pointing at the clothing store. "Whatever" She said as they walked in and began looking around. "Kal and I are going to the pet store to look a the fishes we'll meet up with you guy's later" Roquette said before her and Kaldur left the store.
Wally began to get bored and when he was bored he complained. "Arty this is boring" he complained as she rolled her eyes. A couple shirts and a dress were in her arms as she yanked him by the collar of his shirt towards the changerooms. "Now sit and stay. God you act like a dog sometimes" she muttered the last part to herself while walking into the small room. Dick and Conner both came into the area and took a seat on either side of Wally. "So how's Zee?" He asked in a low whisper.
His best friend looked a little sad and Dick Grayson was never sad. "Dude her cousin just showed up and he's taking her to Gotham with him at the end of the week. She's moving there for the rest of the year until he can get a job transfer to here" he said before looking down at his lap sadly. Wally knew how much Zatanna meant to Dick, which was a lot. The door for Artemis's changeroom opened as she stepped out in a short for fitting black dress. "Babe you look hot as hell" he said as her cheeks flushed a bright red.
She did a little spin as he gave her a thumbs up with a wink. After forty minutes they finally left the clothing store with a couple bags. Conner had the most since Megan basically bought a new winter wardrobe. Wally only carried one bag that had the little black dress and a light green shirt in it. "So we have an hour and twenty minutes what are we going to do?" Megan asked as Zatanna raised her hand. "We could go to the arcade maybe" Zatanna said in a small voice as Megan and Artemis grinned.
Wally raised an eyebrow as they all headed towards the arcade. "Since when were you girls into video games?" Wally asked as Artemis crosses her arms over her chest. "Just because we're girls doesn't mean we can't play video games" she huffed before her, Megan and Zatanna walked ahead of them. Conner and Dick shot the red head hard glares. "What did I do?" He asked slightly confused. All he did was ask a question. The arcade's was bursting to life with flashing lights and different sounds.
Wally was being dragged around by his girlfriend who was interested in everything. "Photo booth" she said all too quickly before he was dragged in. "Okay so this with this" she said clicking different things on the touchscreen. When the screen began counting down the foray photo they did was funny faces, then the classic peace signs, they both smiled brightly, and for the last one she took him off guard and pulled him in for a kiss by the collar of his shirt. His cheeks were flushed a bright red as she winked and got out of the booth.
The photos printed as she gave him one as she stared at her own. The last one caught his blush perfectly making him look incredibly cute. "These are going in a frame on my bedside table" she said as he smirked and kissed the top of her head. "I bet you ten bucks you won't climb through that playground area" she said as he grinned cheekily. It was late so there weren't any children in it which was good. "You're on" he said handing her the bag and sneaking in. It was smaller then he expected and that's when he got stuck.
She waited for about twenty minutes until sighing. Sneaking in she hid the bag and climbed into the play area. The tubes were small but they weren't that small that she couldn't fit. She found him stuck just before the slide. He couldn't see her when she grinned evilly. "You look stuck" she said as he groaned and looked down blushing a bright red. "Can you get me out?" He asked as she grinned. "Sorry before hand" she said as his eyes widened. With one swift quick he went tumbling down the slide and out into the ball pit.
Sliding down on her stomach she landed on top of him as he groaned in pain. "That hurt more then I thought it would" he said as she laughed and moved off of him. Standing up they grabbed the bag and left the play area to find their friends. Megan and Conner were playing a shooting game while Zatanna and Dick watched. "Where were you too?" Dick asked as Artemis began laughing. "He got his ass stuck while climbing through the play place" she laughed out as he pressed his face into her neck blushing from embarrassment.
Dick grinned evilly and a small smile made its way onto Zatanna's face. "Now only if I had a photo" Dick said as Megan yelled. "I won!" She yelled happily putting the fake gun back in its holster. Conner rolled his eyes until smiling seeing how happy she was. If Megan was happy then he was happy too. Artemis smiled and messed up Wally's hair seeing how embarrassed he was. "Okay Kid Embarrassment that's enough" she said as he stood up straight with his cheeks still as red as his hair.
"Anyways how about we head towards the Cafeteria and stop at a few stores on the way?" Dick asked as they agreed and left the arcade. Eventually everyone met up in the cafeteria and ordered their food. "Grayson what's up? You look depressed" Artemis asked as he let out a sad sigh. Wally immediately opened his mouth to respond. "Oh that's because Zatanna's moving to Gotham at the end of the week!" He blurted out as the table was immediately engulfed in a defeaning silence.
The girl across the table looked down sadly as Wally covered his mouth. "I was going to tell you guy's I really was" she spoke up after a minute. She looked up with tears in her eyes but she quickly wiped them away. "B-but Zee you can't leave" Megan said beginning to pout. The red head looked like a lost puppy as Zatanna nodded. Artemis was still taking in the information before frowning. "You will be greatly missed friend Zatanna" Kori spoke up with a sad smile graced on her face as well. After all Zatanna helped her the first day at school as a new student.
That night the girls decided to have a huge sleepover at Artemis's house. "Ollie the girls are coming over!" She yelled through the Mansion as the man walked into the front foyer. "What's with the tux?" She asked seeing how nice he was dressed. He fixed the collar before gulping. "I'm taking Dinah out for dinner tonight" he said as she raised an eyebrow and walked over with her hands on her hips. Before she could ask another question Jade yelled for her. "Artemis I need your help!" She yelled from the top of the stairs as the blonde sighed and ran up the stairs.
Jade was in the soon to be babies room sitting on the floor with furniture pieces around her. "What are you doing?" She asked as Jade looked up at her. "The question is what aren't you doing" her sister shot back as Artemis put her hands up in defense. "Look I'm trying to put this stupid crib together. Can you help?" She asked as Artemis shook her head with a small smile. Sitting crossed legged on the floor in front of her sister she began looking at the instructions. There were boxes and furniture pieces all over the room.
The doorbell rang thirty minutes later as Artemis bounced up onto her feet. "Where are you going?" Jade asked still sitting on the floor. Artemis rolled her eyes and walked downstairs to let her friends in. All of the girls were there already in their pajamas with their bags in their hands. Artemis let them in before hearing Jade yell again. "Artemis get your ass up here and help!" She yelled as her sister stifled a laugh. The girls all walked upstairs and left their bags in Artemis's bedroom.
She guided them down the hallway to the soon to be babies room. "Okay Jade I brought some help" she said as the girls all filed in. Her sister didn't show it but she was secretly cheering on the inside. "So this goes here I think"
"No I think you put it here" Megan responded.
"Friends I don't understand these instructions" Kori said confused as she held the instructions. "They're upsidedown" Raven said turning the instructions around as Kori smiled and nodded. Cassie came back in with the speakers as she put some music on. With all of the help an hour and a half later everything was put into place. "So how far along are you?" Roquette asked as all of the girls nodded. Jade still didn't know why they were all so fascinated with her stomach. "Eight months and counting" she said as the girls all giggled.
Artemis looked over and gave her sister a small smile as her friends gushed over her stomach. "Have you had a baby shower yet?" Megan asked as Jade shook her head in response. Her older sister was never used to having this much attention on her at once. "We should have it this Thursday since Zee's leaving on Friday!" Megan announced as Jade paled. Thursday was in three days, how were they going to plan a baby shower in three days. "We'll all plan it don't worry! Just do us one favor" Megan said as Jade raised am eyebrow.
"And that favor is?" She asked looking at all the excited girls. Even Raven had a small smile on her face. "Find out what the gender is but get them to put it in an envelope. We'll do a gender reveal thing like the one's on YouTube!" Megan said excitedly as they all nodded in agreement. Artemis walked over and nodded patting her sisters back. "I'm home!" Roy's voice echoed through the Mansion. He walked upstairs and into the room raising an eyebrow. "You know I won't ask" he said before trying to leave the room.
Jade grabbed his arm and yanked him back into the room. "There's going to be a baby shower on Thursday" she said as he was taking a sip of his water. Within a second a shower of water went all over his girlfriend. A low growl escaped Jade's lips as all of the girls took a couple steps back. "You are so dead!" She yelled before beginning to chase him down the hallway. The girls eventually got curious and quietly snuck downstairs. Peering into the living room they all awed.

Roy and Jade were snuggling on the couch as she kissed the side of her head. A soft smile was on Jade's face as Artemis smiled herself. Seeing her older sister happy for once made her happy too. Neither of their lives were very funny so slices of happiness like this were nice. "Hey let's leave the two lovebirds and go and watch a movie" Artemis said as they all followed her upstairs to her bedroom.
A/N: Okay so there were questions before about Zachary. I know he's younger in the comics but I needed him to be older in order for him to take care of Zatanna. Oh and Zee won't be gone for that long but a lot of stuff will go down while she is.
