Part 19

Caitlin woke to strong arms wrapped around her. She snuggled closer to her husband. She took in a deep breath. She loved his scent. It had been nearly two weeks since her father had been locked in the pipeline. Her mother believed they were getting close. But Caitlin still had doubts. Suddenly felt her stomach start to turn. She pulled out of Barry's arms and ran to the bathroom and threw up. She turned to face Barry who had followed her and grabbed her hair and held it back and rubbed her back. She sat on the bathroom floor looking up at his warm eyes.

"You ok?" asked Barry

"Yeah. It's just morning sickness. Which hopefully only last the morning."

"It didn't with Laurel?"

"Some days were worse than others. I felt bad for Kara having to deal with me and my hormones, and the fact Frost and I were trying to work things out."

"You do know she was glad to help you. Kara has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know."

"Yeah I know. Come on I will fix you some toast and tea."

"Ok."

Barry helped Caitlin up and then he headed to the kitchen while she brushed her teeth and rinsed the bile taste from her mouth. She arrived as Barry placed a plate and mug on the table for her. He kissed her softly.

"I'm sure our daughter is up. I'm going to go help her get dressed ok?"

"I'll be fine. Barry, I am just pregnant. There was a time women would work until they gave birth then went right back to work. I can handle being on my own for a few minutes. Besides you will be back here in a flash if I need you."

"I will always help you Cait. I know that I let you down in the past but never again."

"I know. That is why I love you so much."

Barry kissed her again and went off to help their daughter.

Well Caity, he is most definitely the better choice. I mean he is cute maybe a little too sweet at times. But he loves us. I do mean both of us.

"Yes he does Frost. You love him too don't you?"

I will admit nothing. But I do know Savitar would never have taken care of us after getting us pregnant.

"Frost, you know that I never blamed you for what happened with Savitar. I wasn't happy but I know you made that choice."

Yeah well you know that won't happen again. Only man I will let touch us like that is Flashy.

"I know. But I wouldn't give up Laurel for anything."

She is the best thing to come from that monster.

Barry walked in with their daughter in his arms. Caitlin raised her eyebrow at the shirt Laurel was wearing.

"Supergirl? Come on Barry!"

"It's the one that she wanted to wear."

"Letting a two and half year old choose her clothes?"

"Hey I pulled out a Flash and Frost shirt too. She grabbed this one."

Caitlin just shook her head. Laurel had outfits for more superheroes than most people knew about. Luckily thanks to Felicity she and Barry had been able copyright their own logos. Oliver had Green Arrow and Speedy copyrighted. She took her daughter from her father while he fixed Laurel her breakfast.

"Hey sweetie you sleep well?" asked Caitlin

"Uh huh."

"You know daddy and I love you."

"Love you momma."

Barry placed a bowl of oatmeal on the table in front of Laurel. Caitlin made a face handed off Laurel and ran to the bathroom. Barry shook his head.

"Note to self add oatmeal to foods Cait can't be around while pregnant." Mumbled Barry

Caitlin came back a few minutes later.

"Sorry." Said Caitlin

"It's ok. So no oatmeal, tuna, or eggs."

"Yeah. Oatmeal is new this time. With Laurel it was all fish and eggs."

Caitlin's phone rang to the tune of the old Beach Boy song Good Vibrations.

"Cisco." Said both Caitlin and Barry

"Hey Cisco. What is going on?" asked Caitlin

"Well, your mom and Alex think they got the cure for your dad."

"Barry and I will be there soon. We just need to drop Laurel off at Joe's. Cecile is going to watch her today."

"I'll let them know."

Caitlin hung up and looked at Barry.

"My mom thinks they have the cure for my dad."

"Well let's go see if it works."

Half an hour later Barry and Caitlin walked into STAR Labs. As soon as she walked into the cortex Caitlin turned and ran for the bathroom. Barry looked around and saw Cisco eating a breakfast burrito.

"Dude, I told you Cait can't be around eggs right now!" said Barry

"I forgot! I can't remember everything that makes your wife sick since you knocked her up!"

"Until this morning it was two things! Tuna and eggs! Now oatmeal is added!" said Barry

Alex chuckled at Barry yelling at Cisco.

"Maybe you should send him a text of the complete list to him everyday." Said Alex

"Maybe. Alex would you mind checking on Cait?"

"Barry last time I checked Cisco and your wife are the only two people who actually work here. So you can go check on her yourself. Carla and I will let you be."

"Uh yeah last time I went in after her Frost sent an ice dagger at me."

"Wimp."

Alex walked out of the cortex and down to the bathroom. She opened the door and found Caitlin splashing cold water on her face.

"You ok?" asked Alex

"Yeah. Damn Cisco, I have told him everyday I can't be around eggs! Why can't he remember that!"

"He is a guy."

"Barry can remember. Joe can remember."

"But not one that has ever had a pregnant wife or girlfriend."

"True. Is he done with that thing?"

"Yeah."

"Good. I guess we should see if this serum works."

Alex and Caitlin headed back to the cortex together.
