Part 68
The group of heroes arrived back at STAR Labs. Caitlin went to Barry and wrapped her arms around him.
"Thawne didn't hurt me. We stopped him. He is gone." Said Barry
"I know. I was just worried about you. I wish I could have been by your side." Said Caitlin
"You do know that Kara would never let anything happen to me." Said Barry
"He is right Caitlin. If I am there I will always make sure he comes back to you." Said Kara
"I know." Said Caitlin giving the blond a hug.
"Well now that everything here is under control I should get back. Mon-El, Kara are you staying for Ms. West's funeral?" asked J'onn
"If that is ok. We should only be a couple more days." Said Kara
"It's fine. Cisco would you mind?" asked J'onn
Cisco nodded and opened a breach for J'onn. Bruce and Barbara went back to Gotham as well by a breach opened by Cisco. That left Oliver, Thea and Felicity. Diggle having left earlier after a call from Lyla. Oliver went to change out his suit. Thea had stayed at the lab during the fight with Thawne as a safety precaution in case he had gotten away and some how beat the security system.
"Caitlin and Barry are you going to let Ollie and me see this house of yours?" asked Thea
"Of course. I haven't seen it since Barry had the new furniture delivered. If it needs to be moved Barry will need some help from your brother." Said Caitlin
"So besides helping to take down your bad guys I am only good enough to move furniture?" asked Oliver returning to the cortex.
"Of course not Oliver. I just can't be moving it." Said Caitlin
"I was just kidding Caitlin. All you have to do is ask. I will help you out with anything." Said Oliver
"That is why I know my kids will have the best Uncle Ollie."
"Though if I shoot any of them with an arrow. I am sure you will put a few icicle into me."
"That or use my kiss of death on you. Not that I would actually kill you just bring you close to it."
"I know that. Caitlin, you are no killer. You proved that a long time ago. You had a chance to kill your friends but didn't."
"Thanks Oliver."
"Anytime."
Oliver then did something he rarely did. He pulled the young doc5or into a hug.
"By the way Caitlin, you are family. If my kids ever need help in math and science I hope that they will be able to count on their Aunt Caitlin to tutor them."
"You can count on it. By the way big brother you can call me Cait once in a while. Only family and people I love can call me by a nickname."
"I guess then it will be ok if you call me Ollie sometimes."
Caitlin just smiled. Then the group headed out to see Barry and Caitlin's house. Barry had his arm wrapped around Caitlin as they showed off the house.
"How can you afford this place?" asked Felicity
"Barry is a billionaire. Didn't we cover this a while ago?" said Caitlin
"I just didn't really believe it."
"You might want to put in an alarm. Just to help maintain your covers. Don't want the neighbors to find out that the Flash and Frost are living next door." Said Oliver
"We will do that." Said Caitlin
"This house is really bitchen. By the way can I move in. I mean you have more then enough room for me." Said Cisco
"Cisco, you blow a gasket when you see Barry and me kiss at the lab. Why would you want to live in our house where you could walk in on much more then that?" asked Caitlin snuggling closer to Barry.
Cisco got the look of fear in his eyes then shuttered.
"Forget I asked." Said Cisco
"Already forgotten." Said Barry
"This really is a nice house." Said Kara
"You are always welcome to crash here when you find yourself in this part of the multiverse." Said Caitlin
"And it won't just be on the couch either. You will get a nice comfortable bed instead." Said Barry
"Good. Though I do sometimes float in my sleep." Said Kara
"You float in your sleep?" asked Thea
"Yeah it has to do with my powers."
"That is cool." Said Felicity
"Lucky for me I never had many friends after I came to Earth. That would not have been fun to explain." Said Kara
"Well you have a lot of friends now. Just like the rest of us nerds." Said Caitlin
Barry wrapped his arms around Caitlin and whispered in her ear.
"You by far are the sexiest nerd I know."
Caitlin blushed not feeling very sexy being pregnant with triplets. But smiled knowing that Barry would never have said it if he didn't believe it.
The next morning the group gathered at the same cemetery that team Flash had been at twice before in the past. First for Henry Allen and then for HR. They all watched as the coffin that contained Iris's body was lowered into the ground. Caitlin held Barry's hand while the minister spoke. She could see Cecile standing close to Joe offering her comfort. Jesse who had come over with Harry early this morning was close to Wally. The group broke up shortly after the funeral. Cisco finding a private place to send Kara and Mon-El home. Oliver, Thea and Felicity headed back to Star City. Wally and Cecile took Joe home. Cisco headed off on his own. Jesse and Harry headed back to STAR labs were they would stay a couple of days. Carla had gone home the night before promising that if she found any leads on curing Thomas she would let Caitlin know. Barry and Caitlin stayed at the cemetery first heading to Ronnie's grave. Barry let Caitlin have a few minutes alone at the the grave.
"Hi Ronnie. I guess you know that Barry and I are together. We are having triplets. One of them is going to be a boy. We are going to name him after Barry's dad Henry and you. I still miss you but I am happy. I know that you would want me to be happy."
Barry walked up after getting a nod from Caitlin.
"Hey Ronnie. It's Barry, I want you to know that I am going to spend the rest of my life trying to keep a smile on Cait's face. We both know that she is even more beautiful then she already is when she smiles."
They then headed over to where Barry's parents were buried. Barry walked up to the graves first.
"Mom, dad sorry it has been a while since I have been here. But there has been a lot going on. But the most important thing is that Caitlin and I are together. Dad, you remember Caitlin. Mom, I wish you could have met her. You would love her. But you should also know that we are having triplets. You are going to be grandparents. I wish both of you were here. There is one other thing. I am going to ask Cait to marry me. I love her so much. I think that you knew that when I was so bent on getting her back from Zoom. I am just happy that she has forgiven me for not being there for her last year."
Caitlin walked up to him and took his hand. They spent a few more minutes at his parents graves before going by HR's and heading back to Caitlin's apartment. They moved into their house a week later.
