Lullabies and baby cries
Barry's pov
Iris and I were still trying to process what had just happened; but were promptly brought out of our thoughts when Grant and Candice, babies born to our deceased Earth 2 counterparts, now put under our custody. Their wails just kept getting louder and louder;and the toddlers got more and more distressed. I hated seeing Grant and Candy like this; as did Iris. We looked at each other in despair as far as what to do when a light bulb went off in my head.
I was now holding both of them; Grant looking just like his biological father, and, consequently, me; same with Candy, Earth 2 Iris, and my Iris. Taking a deep breath and hoping my idea would work, I began rocking them and bouncing them on my hips and humming, until I recalled the right melody and started singing
"Ray of sunshine, sweet baby of mine, rest your fears, calm your tears. In the end, it's ok, we're with you all the way. If today you fall down, you'll get up, play around. Ray of sunshine, sweet baby of mine..." thankfully, that worked; and only when I startled out of my little world watching them; did I realize Nora, Dawn and Don had been singing with me, smiles now adorning their faces. I handed the twins to Iris and turned to my children from the future "What?" smiling, my girls replied "That lullaby. You sang it to us too." I smiled "Oh. Why didn't you tell me?" Don grinned " We already time traveled; we didn't want to add to the situation by telling you things that would happen and risk messing up the time line even more." at least they learned from my mistakes. A few of them, that is. That would have to do for now. I looked at the tiny sleeping babies in my arms and my smiling grown up children, then smiled at my wife and kissed her "I love you and our family." she smiled "I love you and our family so much."
