Caitlin was finding it extremely hard to contain her excitement. All day she had been running the doctor's words through her mind, still not fully believing that she didn't dream them. As she carried the laundry upstairs to begin folding it, she started thinking about how much her life was going to change. Give it a few months, and she might not be able to hold the laundry basket around her growing…the sound of the front door opening snapped her out of her daydream.
"I'm home!" Her favorite voice called out.
"I'm upstairs!" Caitlin answered from her bedroom. The familiar whoosh of air that shortly greeted her brought a smile to her face.
"Barry, you know I worked hard on my hair this morning." Caitlin playfully chided her husband as he reached down to capture her lips in a short, sweet kiss.
"You're always beautiful, Caitlin." Barry replied, that big goofy grin of his that made Caitlin's heart stutter breaking out across his face.
"Long day at the station?" She asked, slowly wrapping her arms around his neck and looking deep into those gorgeous eyes of his.
"Just a bunch of tests to run and forensic reports to write." Barry said, his arms wrapping around her waist to pull her closer.
"A metahuman robbed a bank over my lunch break, but it wasn't anything Cisco and I couldn't handle. Speaking of, how have you been feeling lately?"
Caitlin pulled away from his embrace and returned to folding the laundry on the bed.
"I feel much better today. Cleaning the house helped relax me a bit." She said, glancing back at Barry.
He didn't seem to notice the smile she couldn't hide from her face. She moved into the hallway to put a stack of towels away in the closet, and Barry followed close behind.
"Well, until this week, I never knew the great scientist Caitlin Allen was also a wanna-be interior decorator!" He said laughing.
"Hey! You have your hobbies, and I have mine." She quipped back.
Closing the closet door, she turned and went to stand in the doorway to their spare room. They'd only been living in this house for a few months, and still had yet to decide what to use the room for.
"I still can't believe we have that many boxes of things left to find places for." Barry stated, sliding up behind her to gaze into the room.
"But I think I've finally decided what to use this room for." Caitlin said, turning her head to look Barry in the eyes.
"And what would that be?" Barry inquired, an amused look on his face.
"I think it would look great as a baby's room. We could put a crib over in the right corner, where the sun shines in the morning. And then there's space for a little rocking chair next to the window…" Caitlin explained, getting giddily lost in her plans.
"But Cait. Wouldn't it help to have a baby first?" Barry questioned, a confused look crossing his face.
"Barry…"Caitlin smiled at him.
"What? Did I miss something?" He replied, giving her that cute little look he always had when he was thinking.
"I went to the doctor today…and I'm pregnant." Caitlin revealed, finally letting her extreme excitement show on her face.
Barry's expression went from shock, to amazement, and then to joy.
"Cait! That's wonderful!" He exclaimed, picking her up in a hug and twirling her around in the hallway.
Once her feet were back on the ground, he pulled her close into a deep and passionate kiss. Caitlin's hands reached up to run through his hair as Barry's moved to cup her back. When they finally broke for air, they rested their foreheads together, not wanting to break the perfect moment.
"I love you, Caitlin." Barry whispered, his eyes glistening with joy.
"I love you too, Barry." Caitlin answered, reaching up to give him one last kiss.
"But I think it's time we told everyone else. Cisco will be over the moon when he finds out he's going to be an uncle!"
