Barry, we need to talk

Tag to 1x12. AU after barry and caitlin sang karaoke and she asked him to stay and caitlin figured out a way to get barry drunk. SO they had a one night stand and…

Tuesday 2:43 am

She was crying, she still thought that barry loved iris and the only thought of raising this, his baby all by herself was terrifying. Her whole body was in pain, her breasts hurt, she felt like her hips were about give up, had morning and night sickness, she didn't hated barry, she loved him for this beautiful gift that he had given her, but he was in love with iris, so she would never have him there for the baby and thought made her sad and alone. But she gathered the courage to tell him and.

At the moment she was able to stop crying and pick up the phone to call barry, she felt nervous when she told him what their one night stand had left her with, the phone rang 3 times before he answered

barry asks her "what´s wrong?"

"Nothing i just wanted to tell you something" i said with a nervous voice

"You want me to go to your place" barry asked in genuine concern

"Yes please, i need to tell you something" "and can you bring something to eat?" "i'm famished"

In less than a minute he was knocking at her door with a bag of muffins, blueberry muffins, the flavor she loved the most. Caitlin opened her door just to find barry in a Winter coat wearing his red pijamas and his eyes were almost closed like i just woke him up.

"Hey Cait! Can i come in?" barry asked politely

"Sure, make yourself comfortable"

"Hey what was that thing you wanted to tell me?" he asked

Caitlin froze in her place when she Heard it, those words, wanted so badly that they would've slipped from barry's mind, it didn't so she had no option but to tell him the truth, but she couldn't tell she wanted to but couldn't because he had feelings for iris and knew that was never going to change.

"Yeah about that, i went to the doctor the other day, because i was feeling dizzy and gave me the big news" And i made a DNA test it turns out that…

"I can´t tell you"

"Please tell me, you know you can tell me anything"

"I can't because you love iris and our one night stand didn't mean anything we were too drunk to think straight and that happened and now this" "i can't let you leave iris for me and my child"

"barry i'm pregnant! And its our baby"

Barry just stood there thinking what to say, something that won't hurt her feelings and came up with the almost perfect thing to say

"Well that's great news right?" barry said excited

"Yeah, but the thing is that you still love iris and i am nothing more than a third Wheel in your relationship with iris"

"Am i not?"

Caitlin was right, he was still in love with Iris and as much as he wanted to get back at her for not returning his feelings at the first momento he told her, but this was some serious deal, i mean i can't just walk out on her right?

Barry thought and didn't know what to say, i mean for 14 years he had been in love with iris and came to realize that in his time in STAR Labs, his feelings grew fonder of someone else.

"No you are not that, not to me, you are my everything Caitlin" barry said like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders

"Am i?" caitlin said in the edge of tears

"what are you going to do about iris?" caitlin kept on crying when she said those words

"i don't know what am i going to do about it but i'll see. But you are everything to me caitlin, you just have no idea"

"But think of how broken down iris is going to be when you tell her about this, she'll be mad plus i don't want to be the reason you guys break up"

"You won't be the reason of us breaking up, you'll see. But you mean the world to me"

"Yes you are caitlin, in the 5 months e worked together i've had ever growing feelings for you, i just wouldn't tell you that because i feared that you didn't feel the same way". He said ashamed of his feelings

"What you said it's true i was hung up on iris for a long time, but i found someone new to be crazy about and last night i showed her how i felt for her, even though i was drunk, that moment i will forever cherish and never let go off and that person is you caitlin it has always been you"

"From the moment you started that conversation with me, you made feel that i could live again, like you had released me from the death of ronnie and slowly made me smile like i used to, so Little by Little you earned a space in my heart" caitlin said leaning her head against barry's shoulder and sunk into his embrace, just letting tears flow down from her eyes.
