When Barry get's sick will his family be there for him? Nobody said it was easy It's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard Oh take me back to the start

Chapter 1

Feverish heat radiates off of his forehead as he rolls on his side away from me on the gurney. "Come on Bar, may I"I ask gently putting my hand on his shoulder, "yeah"he says reluctantly rolling towards me. I put the thermometer in his mouth and after it beeps I take a look at the screen, 104, that's not good. I'm starting to think it's meningitis due to his symptoms with the headache, nausea, and stiff neck. "Barry, I know you hate needles, but I need to do a spinal tap on you OK"I ask him quietly, "OK, Caitlin I think I'm going to be sick"he says hesitantly, "OK,here"I say helping him sit up and giving him the bed pan. I rub his back as he throws up and then once he's done I help him lay back down. I grab the tray with the supplies and then call for Cisco. He comes in and very carefully we help Barry onto his side and he puts his knees to his chest.

I open the back of the gown and I wipe his back down with antiseptic, and then I grab the needle for the local anesthetic. I feel him shudder as I put a hand against his lower back, "easy Bar, it'll be fast, I'll take it slow OK"I reassure him, "OK, I'll try"he says fearfully. I go very slow and I insert the needle into his lower back as he winces. I take it out and once we're sure it's taken affect, I then insert the hollow needle and then help him shift positions. After a few minutes the fluid finishes draining into the vial and I take the needle out slowly. I put a bandage over the injection site and help him roll onto his back, "shh,all done"I say. "mm,ow"he murmurs. Once I make sure he's settled I leave the room and go into the lab, hoping that it's not what I think it is.
