~Afternoon and evening, my beloved YJ fans!

tI am posting this with my most sincere apology for leaving you guys on that cliffhanger for so long. And to make up for my sudden absence, I will have an EXTRA long chapter out by this weekend, if not any later than Monday! I hope you guys are excited, cause I know I am!

Reasoning of absence:

School has been piling up earlier than I expected and I haven't had a break from the flood of schoolwork ever since Summer ended. With that piling up onto my schedule, I've had absolutely no time to put in more effort into the next chapter of Wally's Return. Including, I will have to delay the production of the Aladdin fanfiction majorly since of course, my YJ fans must be my top priority in this! Because of my business, I had to get back into the mood of Young Justice before I could begin writing again so that also had a contribution to the time period of my absence. You all know what I'm talkin' about right? ^^"

Anyway, now that I am finally back and into the swing of things, I should have plenty more time to supply you guys with more YJ bliss! And believe me, things are going to get pretty heavy from here. B) Here's a little sneak peak into a much further chapter that I've put a little progress into (so I could have a headstart on getting chapters to ya'll faster) :

(Several Weeks later….)

Arousing from a messy bed, a blonde head poked out from beneath the quilted covers, her hair draped down the side of her face in a messy manner as she glanced around the quiet room until her gaze fell upon a large figure that snoozed beside her; it's arm draped around the back of the pillow from where she once laid. Giving a toothy smile of amusement, she bent down and gave a gentle peck on the red head's cheek before slipping from the bed. Stepping in front of the vanity mirror just aside of Artemis's bed, she rubbed a hand against her throbbing forehead. Boy was she sore! Ever since two days ago, she had been having sudden morning sickness and aches in places she never in touched; it was starting to concern her. Have I come down with something? Might I really be sick? She attempted to reason with herself once more, although she had already been checked for any symptoms of Flu, Stomach bugs, or even just a common cold when she was last visiting at her Doctor's office.

Geez, first that incident with the Brain and his mangy sidekicks, now this? Artemis suppressed a sigh of agitation as she glanced at herself in the mirror. She had a nagging suspicion of what it could be, but fearful doubt swept over her by even thinking of the possibility. There is no sense in hiding from the possibility, Artemis. It'll only make it worse for yourself! She scolded herself, turning from the vanity. Exhaling, she made her way into the bathroom and opened up the side drawer that settled just aside of the bathroom door; pulling out a small white and pink box and opened it up, revealing a thermometer like item. Curiosity and fear nagged at her at the same time as she glanced at the item. Come on, Artemis, pull it together! It'll be alright either way, right?... Attempting to soothe her uneasy thoughts, she took in a deep breath and closed the door, taking the pregnancy test in her left hand from the drawer.

(About 15 minutes later..)

It was done, she had finished taking the test. But her anxiety still sent shivers up her spine as she settled the stick on the sink upside down, both excited and fearful of the result that may await her on the other side of the test. Suppressing an anxious sigh, she reached for the test stick with a hesitant hand and slowly turned it over. Picking it up, she rose it to her gaze and she stared at it for a few heart beats until the stick dropped from her hand and to the floor as she quickly cupped her hands to her mouth; her eyes wide in mixed emotions as she stared into the mirror. Her gaze reflecting disbelief as she glanced down at the pregnancy test that laid at her feet.

Excited now, huh? 030 What do you think the result might've been? Might've come back negative, or even positive. Until the magic result is revealed, I hope you guys can bear with me! I swear to my own honor that I am working as fast as possible!

Thanks for sticking with me,

-Krissi G.
