I have returned with another fic that has a captain canary baby
And I have zero remorse. It's not because I can't write anything else;
Trust me I have written many fics that lay in my laptop,
It is simply because I WANT TO.
So, to get back to the point:
I love the scenes with both of them and how
They look out for each other no matter what.
I adore how Leonard opens himself up to her about delicate subjects
And how he manages to calm Sara from her bloodlust.
This story takes place after 1x16 aka the season finale
And focuses on Sara after Leonard's death and a surprise life has for her.
Please show me your love and support if you will enjoy this.

Leonard Snart was gone.
She would never see him again.
Sara cried, even though she never did. She cried until her eyes were dry and she couldn't even breathe anymore.
And when Rip returned them in May 2016, her father told her that Laurel had died too. And there was nothing to hold onto anymore.
She broke down in sobs, unable to control herself. Her sister was gone now. Her only motivation to live was dead. The one person, who gave her a chance for a second life, didn't live his.
She stood in front of Laurel's grave with her face buried in her hands, crying and her father next to her, his own eyes wet too.
After Savage was finally defeated Rip gave them a time off to return to their lives. Sara looked around Star City; seeing absolutely nothing. She had nothing there anymore with Laurel gone and she left. She packed up her things and money; after saying goodbye only to her parents and got to the first flight to Central City.
There, almost no one knew who she was, except maybe from the Flash and his team and of course Martin Stein, Jax Jefferson and Mick Rory.
She almost never got out of the loft she had rented and limited herself to vodka's and scotch's company. She felt like she didn't have a purpose anymore. She didn't even want to fight crime or get out of bed every morning.
And the final blow came one month after Leonard died and two weeks after she moved to Central City as she looked down at a positive pregnancy test. She could not believe what was going on at that moment, everything was blurry. She had only been with Leonard once, before they reached the vanishing point and now she was pregnant. How could she raise a child alone? Leonard Snart's child in particular?
If Laurel was there, she would have been supportive; of course after a pep talk. Only she could help her and she was gone now. She sat in the bathroom for what seemed like forever looking at the test. What was she going to do now?
She could go to her parents, but she didn't want to burden them with her pregnant self. Sara had once again nowhere to go.
And most of all she was scared; more than she had ever been in her whole life. She had a life growing inside of her and it was going to be a child in nine months. A child that she would have to raise by herself and with her bloodlust; she was scared of what she might do to him or her.
Finally, she stood up and got out of the bathroom after what seemed like forever. She took out her phone and found Mick's address. She put on a thin cardigan and walked out; and fortunately for her the April sun wasn't shining that much today as she walked towards Mick's apartment which was surprisingly not that far from where she lived.
She knocked his door and waited for a response leaning against the doorframe. She heard a grunt from inside the apartment and in a second the door had opened and Mick Rory stood in front of her, with his heat gun gripped by his strong palm.
"Lance? What are you doing here?" he asked her, visibly confused from seeing Sara standing in his doorway, her face drained from its color.
"Can I…come in?" she stuttered and he moved away, letting her in the apartment. It was pretty spacious, filled with the things from their heists and was pretty messy; pizza boxes and beers everywhere.
She suspected that when Leonard was there things were much tidier, and now Mick had let himself go completely. He moved first and sat in the big black couch and Sara joined him sitting close to him, but always leaving a small cautionary distance between them.
"What's your deal? What's wrong Sara?" he asked her, for the first time noticing concern in Mick's usually steady tone. She knew that she had to tell someone, and from all the people that were left to her, Mick was the most appropriate.
"Mick, I have something to tell you; but please not a word to anyone else. Anyone, do you understand me?" she said, her voice rough and on edge almost ready to break.
"Canary, what is it? You're beginning to scare me." He said and grabbed his beer from one of the carts on the table.
"I am pregnant." She said and he looked at her confused, his eyebrows furrowed together.
"Congrats, Sara. Ever heard of condoms though?" he asked her with a mocking smile on his face.
"It's Leonard's." She said and his smile fell immediately as tears began to roll down her cheeks.
"I knew that you two would hook up eventually." He said, with his voice sounding more comforting than usual.
"Mick, I don't know what to do…" She said and wiped the tears from her face quickly.
"What do you mean? You mean you are thinking about..?" He trailed off and Sara was quickly alerted as her eyes widened.
"No, I don't…I am alone, Mick." Her voice broke and this time she didn't do anything to stop the tears from falling. "If I had my sister…Everything would be different. And if Leonard was here…He…Well, I don't know but at least he would be here." Mick moved closer to her and Sara leaned to his shoulder.
"Don't do anything stupid. Don't even think about doing what you are thinking. That is yours and Snart's baby in there and you can't get rid of it." Sara flinched at his words as another sob escaped her mouth. "You are not alone. I might not be the best person, but I am here and as I see you are staying."
"You are right. I can't get rid of this baby. I don't want to. I have taken so many lives. I can't take this one; Leonard is still here, at least a part of him and I don't want to kill it." She said and wiped her tears; at least as many as she could.
"And I know that you won't. You got me. I am not much but I am the only person you got." He said and Sara wrapped her arms around him; catching him off guard. He didn't pull away though. He felt bad for Sara; she was a good person, who even with her troubled past had done so much good and now in return she had lost Leonard, one of the few people she truly cared about.
But now life had given her something in return; a baby, a part of Leonard to have with her and protect no matter what.
And now that she thought about it better, she knew that she had to keep the baby; it was like a miracle, a gift from Leonard to savor and adore forever.
"Thank you, Mick." She told him and smiled through her tears. "For everything."
And the days passed and turned to months.
She woke up one day and walked to her mirror. She took out her clothes to take a shower and suddenly she noticed it.
It wasn't big, but it was a noticeable baby bump in her once flat stomach. The first real and absolute proof that her baby was there; her and Leonard's baby was there. She putted her clothes on immediately and ran to Mick's house. He looked at her like she was crazy, knocking on his door at 6 A.M, but then she lifted her tank top and his eyes widened along with his mouth that shaped into an O.
It was a surreal experience for Sara to go to the gynecologist, and see her child in front of her; small like a snowflake in her stomach. That became the baby's nickname, because Sara chose not to know the gender even though Mick really begged her to.
The day Sara Lance went into labor, she woke up with a weird feeling with her stomach. She ignored it though and continued her day just like it was a normal one.
She took a shower and decided to go shopping. She wore a pair of black jeans and a nude sweater along with Leonard's parka, which Mick gave to her after she could not zip any of her jackets and blazers due to her baby bump.
She walked to the store and bought everything she had on her list. She got out of the shop and into the small and narrow alley outside. The feeling in her stomach was beginning to worsen every second and by the moment she was at one of the main streets of Central City the pain had worsened so much that she dropped her bags as she saw a pool of water between her legs.
Her water had just broken.
She grunted from the pain as she reached for her phone and called Mick; who she now had on speed dial for emergencies and late-night cravings
"Lance, what's up?" he asked, feeling confused by her quick and abnormal breathing that he heard through the phone.
"My water just broke. Get your ass here, Rory." She said and he let out a surprised sound. "I am in the main road in front of the alley where the grocery store is. Quick."
She hung up and in exactly five minutes Mick was there, with a car she didn't even knew he had. He threw her bags in the back and helped her get in the passenger's seat.
"New ride?" she said as she sat in the red leather seat of the Rolls Royce. "I really like this one."
"Yeah, picked it on my way here." He said as he started driving. "You can keep it, white with red seats, is not really my kind. Too girly."
"You came here in practically five minutes; how did you have time to steal a car?" she asked and he chuckled.
"There is, always, time to steal." He said and she smiled remembering Leonard say it to her, so long ago.
Sara went into labor four hours later and gave birth to her little daughter in the early afternoon. She was a small creature in Sara's arms as Mick walked inside the hospital room. He sat in the chair next to her and observed the tiny baby girl sleeping; cradled in her mother's chest.
"What's her name?" he asked, noticing the little girl's chest go up and down, indicating that she was breathing steadily.
"Ivy Rory Snart." She answered and his eyes widened in surprise.
"You putted her middle name…after me?" he asked Sara, still surprised.
"Of course I did." She said and smiled at him. "You are the one who has been there for me all these months." The baby girl stretched out her tiny arms that were in fists and opened her big eyes. Both of them froze. Those two eyes were identical to Leonard's. They were icy blue, without even a hint of her grey blue ones. They reminded Sara of his cold gun and she smiled at her daughter as tears rolled down her cheeks. But those were tears of happiness.
"She has his eyes…" Mick said and smiled at her too; something very rare from him.
"Do you want to hold her, Mick?" she said and he just nodded. She sat up a little bit and placed her daughter in his arms. The little girl lifted one of her tiny hands and reached Mick's, before she wrapped her hand around his index finger.
He smiled at her, and it was an 100% real and happy smile, while he held the tiny baby girl; the daughter of the man who was his best friend and he had swore to himself that he would never had children; always fearing that he would become like his father.
But by seeing Ivy in front of him, he knew that even Leonard Snart would melt at the sight of his daughter.
"She's beautiful…" he told Sara, who gave him a tired smile before dozing off to a peaceful slumber.
And then the months passed and they turned into a year.
And the year turned into two and Ivy was now an adorable two year old toddler and lived with her mother in her loft in Central City.
"Mommy, like me dwaing?" she asked Sara as she jumped up and down her bed, holding a drawing in her small slender hands. Sara sat up from her bed and brought Ivy down with her and pulled her under the covers to shelter her from the cold of February.
"So, what did you draw my little snowflake?" she asked her daughter as she wrapped her arms around her and kissed the top of her head.
"I dew mommy." She announced proudly and pointed to a blonde haired stick figure in her paper. "I dew iwy, me." She said and showed her version of herself next to her mother.
"And who are those, Ivy?" she asked as she pointed to two more figures; that was what they had to be.
"Mommy, pease dwn't silly!" she said and smiled at her mom. "Thws is ucle Mick awd daddy." The smile fell from her face as she saw that Ivy had drawn a snowflake next to Mick.
"Daddy is a snowflake?" she asked as she stroked her daughter's blonde hair, identical to hers.
"You sway daddy is Cawtain Cowld and ewen he gwne and he wtches ower me." She said and stroked her attempted drawing of a snowflake.
"He is, also I think it's an amazing drawing Ivy. Want to put it on the fridge?" she asked and she nodded. She got out of bed and Ivy hopped into her arms as they both walked to their living room and set her daughter in one of the black leather couches, after they putted Ivy's drawing to the fridge along with photos of Ivy and Sara with Mick and others of the two of them with Stein, Jax, Kendra, Ray and even Rip.
"Mommy, bwaid hair." She pleaded as she continued jumping up and down on the sofa. Sara set her down again and made her long blonde hair into two fishtails. Ivy touched her braids and smiled.
"Twank you mommy." She said and hugged her mother; kissing her cheeks.
"Now, time for breakfast." Sara said and opened the TV, so her daughter would watch her favorite cartoons. "Do you want cereal with milk or bread with marmalade?"
"Bwead mommy." She mumbled, looking at the cartoons playing on the TV. She stood up and walked over to the large kitchen; turning on the coffee machine, as she began to get Ivy's breakfast ready, while watching her daughter closely.
She was so precious, a small little girl; she obviously had taken her height, with her long blonde hair, dainty little nose and pursed lips. They reminded her so much of Leonard's lips, forming a smirk that made Sara smile at her daughter sweetly and kiss her forehead every time; much to her confusion.
She putted the slices of bread with her favorite strawberry marmalade in a plate and with a glass of milk she set them on the table in front of the couch. The toddler grabbed the glass of milk and began drinking it quickly.
Sara grabbed her coffee and sat next to her daughter and watched the cartoons that the little girl observed with all of her focus. Her cell phone rang and she picked it up, a little surprised that it was Mick this early in the morning.
"How are you up bright and early, Mick?" she asked with a cheerful voice.
"Lance…" Mick said and his voice made a shiver go down her spine.
"What happened?" She asked her voice softer now.
"Rip happened. He paid me a visit today and this time he wasn't alone. He was with-." But Mick was cut off by the doorbell ringing. She hadn't invited anyone; Mick was in the phone with her and she hadn't invited Ray, Stein, Jax or Kendra. Maybe it was Rip.
"Mick I have to go. Someone is ringing the door bell. Call you in 5'." She said and putted her phone in the table. The doorbell rang again.
"Little snowflake, can you go in your room for a little?" Sara asked her daughter.
"But mommy, twe sow!" she cried out.
"Okay, so go in my room and turn on the TV." She said as the toddler quickly ran down the hallway and got inside her room, the last one down the hall.
Sara walked over to the door, with her coffee mug in hand, and opened it. As soon as she saw who stood in her doorway, the mug slipped from her hands and fell to the floor, smashing to pieces and spilling the coffee to the living room's marble floor.
In front of her was Leonard Snart, in the flesh. He had his hands in the pockets of a leather black jacket, but didn't lean against the doorway like he always used to. Sara stood there, suddenly unable to move and even breath. She gripped the small table next to the door to stop herself from falling down.
"Leonard…Is that..? Is that really…you? Are you really here…? Alive..?" she asked him completely stunned by seeing him in front of her alive and well. Fresh tears prickled her grey blue eyes but she didn't let even one fall.
