Lolly (Guest)- There are more Cait and Nat moments coming soon, in her future, Nat, has gotten used to it just being her and her dad since her mom is gone. She doesn't really know how to act now that she's just gotten over her death. It's all very confusing for a five year old but there relationship will grow, I promise! Thanks for reviewing:)

*Natalie's POV*
It's weird to see Mommy again, I'm happy to see her but it's a little confusing. The only place I'd ever see Mommy was when I went to sleep at night or look inside my necklace. As I sat on Granpda Joe's couch watching Mommy and Daddy talk with him, I couldn't help but look around. After Mommy died, Daddy and I moved in with Grandpa Joe. It doesn't look any different besides the pictures on the mantle. There used to be or will be a picture of Mommy and Daddy on their wedding day, Grandpa Joe and I, some of Miss. Iris and lots of others. I wanna go back to my time, seeing Mommy alive is hurting my heart and I want so badly to tell her how to avoid dying but I can't. I could input my opinion on things but I can't stop staring at Mommy. Maybe I should just enjoy my time with her while I still can. But she isn't used to me just climbing into her lap, maybe I should ask. I don't wanna freak Mommy out. When I finally made up my mind, I tugged on Mommy's sleeve.
" yes, honey?" She asked in that sweet tone she always used with me. Hearing her speak like that almost made me forget where I really was.
"Can I sit in your lap?" I asked shyly as I fiddled with my locket. I watched as she exchanged a smile with Daddy then nodded her head. I smiled happily and crawled from the lonely cushion I'd sat before to my Mommy's comforting lap. As I snuggled into her lap, memories washed over me then crashed when I realized how warm she felt.
"Your warm" I mumbled frowning up at Mommy.
"What do you mean Natalie? She's always warm" Daddy asked, his eyes alight with amusement. My frowned deepened and I scrunched up my nose.
"No she's isn't supposed to be" I protested. Fear gripping my little heart, I don't wanna lose Mommy again.
"Natalie, are you feeling okay, baby?" Grandpa Joe asked, his eyebrows raised at me and I shook my head furiously.
"Are you feeling okay, Mommy?" I asked panic in my tone as I reached up to feel her forehead. It feels like Daddy's. It shouldn't feel like that.
"I'm fine, my temperature is normal" Mommy reassured taking my hand gently away from her forehead.
"But you are always cold at this time of year, you-" realization washed over me as I remembered that Mommy hasn't got her ice powers yet. I'm not in 2025, I need to keep my lips sealed and keep the future in the future.
"Natalie?" Daddy asked leaning towards us in concern.
"Never mind, I forgot that you weren't like that yet" I answered simply then relaxed back into Mommy's arms. Being in this house, my house, makes me feel like I'm back in my time just sitting with my family. Mommy has always been cold in temperature to me but Uncle Cisco said she wasn't always like that. I guess she isn't like that yet.
"That I wasn't cold yet?" Mommy asked looking down at me.
"Just forget I said anything" I mumbled going back to fiddling with my locket. I noticed them shrug but I knew Grandpa Joe would interrogate me later.
*Barry's POV...2025*
"Cisco!" I called flashing into the cortex after my shower. He jumped from where he was sitting on the phone presumably talking to Lisa about what's going on. I'm sure she's worried about Natalie. However much we didn't really eye to eye in the beginning, Lisa became Cisco's girlfriend then wife a year ago. Things sort of fell into place after that. Natalie loves her Aunt Lisa and Uncle Leo, as wird as that would of sounded 5 years ago.
"Babe, I'll have to call you back" Cisco said hurriedly hanging up and turning to me. "What's up Bar, are you feeling okay?". I shook my head with a smile on my face.
"I know where Natalie is, Cisco. I'm starting to have new memories with Natalie in 2015" I said excitedly, I'm gonna get my daughter back. I don't know how we are going to get there but I'm sure Cisco has a solution. (A/N: Remember this is only canon up to 1x20 so none of the stuff with the singularity and Barry going back in time to save his mom happened).
"Barry, are you sure that you aren't just imagining this?" Cisco asked gently.
"What?" I croaked out. I couldn't be imagining all this, I need my daughter back. She's the only thing I have left of Caitlin, Natalie's my whole world. She has been since I was handed that little pink bundle containing my scarlet angel.
"Barry, I know you want Natalie back. Believe me, I do too but this literally just happened and I'm sure you are feeling really desperate to get her back" he said slowly,
"Cisco, I'm not just desperate and can't accept that she's gone because she isn't" I said determination in my voice, I can't fall apart yet.
"Are you sure? After Cait-" anger rose through my body and I clenched my fists.
"Don't Cisco. It's not like when she d-died" I yelled my voice cracking, " I'm not in denial. The speed force is trying to tell me where Natalie is. We aren't just connected through blood, you know that". Cisco sighed and I felt bad for snapping at him.
"I know, I just think you shouldn't get your hopes up" He said stepping towards me with his hands raised in defense. Frustration built up in my chest and I ran my hands through my head.
"You don't understand, you still have your wife. You aren't a father" I snapped, I thought he would believe me and not try to manage me. I know he misses Caitlin as much as I do but he's never lost the woman he loves and the product of that love.
"Your right, I don't understand how you are feeling right now. I hope that I never know but I just don't want you to set yourself up for more pain. I love Natalie too" He replied solemnly. Rubbing my hands over my face, I collapsed into Caitlin's old chair at the control panel. The two of us were silent for a while, my head in my hands and Cisco's hand on my shoulder, being the comfort I needed right now.
"I'm sorry for snapping at you" I mumbled looking back up at my best friend, "but you have to believe that I remember Natalie being in the past with us. I'm just grasping at nothing because I can't deal with the reality of her being..." I trailed off unable to even think about my scarlet angel being dead. Cisco nodded and I knew he understood.
"Barry.." We both looked up to see Joe walking into the cortex with a sad smile on her face. I felt the tears coming back and I stood up to hug him.
"How did you know?" I asked pulling away from our hug. The tears of frustration and the emptiness resurfaced as my Dad hugged me.
"Cisco called me. Oh, Barry I'm so sorry. Is there a way to get her back?" Joe replied looking panicked himself. I know how much he loves Natalie. After Caitlin d- you know, I moved Natalie and I back into his house. Neither of us could stay in the house that held so many memories. Natalie hasn't even been to STAR Labs since the incident. I'd been debating on moving out of Central City, maybe it would've help with her nightmares. I wish that I had moved her away then she'd still be here with me.
"I think so. We know she's in 2015" I replied wiping the tears from my face swiftly. I just need my baby girl back. I watched Cisco and Joe exchanged a look then turn back to me.
"Can we get her back?" Joe questioned seeming open to the idea. Some of my confidence came back and I remembered all the talks of running back in time.
"I could run back through time" I suggested. Cisco shook his head.
"Yeah thats great and all but how are you gonna get back? Remember that Wells got stuck in the past and I doubt that you want to be stuck five years in the past".
"If you have a better idea I'm all ears but I'm going to get my daughter back, no matter what"
Dun dun dun! I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Thanks for reading and please leave me your thoughts! Until next time;)
