Part 69

Two months later

Caitlin winced as she felt a contraction. She had been having them all morning. While it was a month early. It was not uncommon for a woman to go into labor early when having multiple babies. She smiled when she saw Wally flash into the cortex.

"Wally go get my mom. I am pretty sure I am in labor." Said Caitlin

Wally just nodded and was gone. He returned less then five minutes later with Carla. Barry who had entered seconds before grabbed a trash can and handed it to Carla. Carla threw up just as the can landed in her hands.

"A little warning next time Wally." Said Carla

"Sorry Dr. Tanhouser." Said Wally sheepishly

"Has your water broken yet Caitlin?" asked Carla

"Not yet but the contractions are less then ten minutes apart." Said Caitlin

"Ok let's get you in the med lab and take a look." Said Carla

Caitlin and her mom headed into the med bay. Cisco walked in a few minutes later with Kara and Alex right behind him. Alex went into the med bay to see if Carla needed any help. Kara winced when she heard Caitlin cry out.

"Kara are you ok?" asked Barry

"Yeah fine. Caitlin just had a really bad contraction I think. Her cry hurt my ears a little." Said Kara

Cisco reached into a drawer and pulled out a pair of earplugs. He handed them to the blond hero.

"Don't worry you will still be able to hear us talking normally. But they will tone down load sounds such as Caitlin's screams." Said Cisco

"Thanks Cisco." Said Kara

Jesse walked in just as Alex stepped into the cortex. She had changed into a pair of scrubs. Spotting the female speedster she handed her a pair of scrubs and another to Barry.

"Caitlin's water just broke. Her contractions are only two minutes apart. So both of you change and come in. Jesse, Carla is going to handle the delivery of the babies. We just need you to hold one of the babies and help clean them up until all of them are delivered." Said Alex

"No problem." Said Jesse speeding into the scrubs.

Barry sped into his scrubs and then was by Caitlin's side.

"Hey sweetie how are you doing?" asked Barry

"How am I doing? I am in more pain then I was when I had to stay conscious to talk that jackass brit through my surgery." Said Caitlin her eyes glowing.

"You can do this Cait. Soon we will be holding our beautiful babies in our arms."

"You do know if you ever do this to me like your crazy time remnant did I will freeze off your man parts."

"I doubt you will do that. You enjoy what I do to you with them."

"Barry, I would rather you not talk about that in front of me." Said Carla

"Sorry." Said Barry

Caitlin gripped Barry's hand crushing it as she was hit with another contraction. Barry winced but never let go.

"You are doing great Cait." Said Barry

"Shut up Barry. Next kid you can give birth too. I am done after these three."

"Yeah uh I don't think that is physically possible sweetie."

Carla checked Caitlin then smiled at her daughter.

"Caity, honey on the next one I want you to push." Said Carla

Caitlin just nodded. Barry grabbed the damp cloth that Alex had laid out and used it to wipe the sweat from Caitlin's face. On the next contraction Caitlin pushed as hard as she could. Then took a short breather before pushing again. The next sound heard was the cries of the first baby. Carla took the towel that Jesse handed her and wrapped it around the baby girl. Alex took the baby placed her on Caitlin's chest while she placed the claps on the umbilical cord and handed Barry a pair of surgical scissors. She then took the baby and handed over to Jesse to finish cleaning up. The second baby the boy came a little faster. Barry cut the cord again before Alex took him to clean up. Finally their second girl came into the world with much less effort then her siblings. Once all three were cleaned up and wrapped in warm blankets Barry helped Caitlin adjust in bed she was given all three to hold while Barry snapped a quick picture of the three babies and their tired but still beautiful mom. Barry then took one of the girls giving Caitlin a kiss.

"So have you two decided on names for the babies? Asked Carla

"Well our son is Henry Ronald Snow-Allen. The girls are Danielle Kara Snow-Allen and Crystal Joy Snow-Allen." Said Caitlin

Alex hearing the names smiled knowing that Kara was going to be honored that one of the babies was being named after her. Seeing Alex's look Barry smiled.

"Alex your sister is important to both of us. We want to make sure she knows that." Said Barry

Jesse had stepped out to let everyone know that Caitlin and the babies were fine. She came back in to let them know that Joe and Cecile had arrived. When the blanket the baby Barry was holding slipped a little Caitlin noticed a birthmark on the back of her shoulder. It looked like the perfect snowflake. Barry noticed it too. He then gently moved the blankets on both Henry and Danielle. Henry had a birthmark that looked like a lightning bolt and Danielle a birthmark that was a combination of a lightning bolt and snowflake. Barry and Caitlin exchanged a look thinking that they might have a clue on the powers of the babies will have when they are older.

"Jesse will you tell everyone that we will be out in a minute?" asked Caitlin

"Sure Caitlin." Said Jesse

Alex took both babies from Caitlin while Carla helped her into a wheelchair. Carla not wanting her to walk to much until she got some rest. Alex then handed them back to Caitlin. Carla pushed the chair out to the cortex where they saw that Oliver, Felicity, Thea, Stein and Sara had joined the others.

"Everyone we would like you to meet our children. Caitlin is holding Henry Ronald and Danielle Kara. I have Crystal Joy Snow-Allen." Said Barry

Caitlin could see tears in Kara's eyes.

"Kara, you are very important to both Barry and me. We wanted to show you that to us you are family." Said Caitlin

"That is so sweet of you." Said Kara

"Would you like to hold her?" asked Caitlin

Kara nodded and took the baby into her arms.

"Henry Ronald? We could call him H.R. for short." Said Cisco

Barry and Caitlin exchanged a look and smiled knowing that their friend would be touched that they called their son that after him

"Cisco, I think that is a good idea. HR would be touched by that." Said Caitlin

"Just keep those kids from screwing with the timeline. I would rather not have to clean up any mess they make." Said Sara

"Sara trust us we don't want another Flashpoint or risk Savitar coming back." Said Barry

"Good to know. But they are cute kids. Good thing they take after their mom." Said Sara

"Actually Sara, I can see a lot of Barry in Henry. Maybe some in Danielle too." Said Caitlin

"I think Crystal is going to be a lot like her mom." Said Barry

"They really are cute kids. Congratulations both of you." Said Oliver

"Thanks Ollie." Said Caitlin

Everyone left so that Caitlin could get some rest. While Caitlin was sleeping Carla took a few of the cells from the umbilical cords and began to analyze them. An hour later when Caitlin woke up she laid in the bed with her eyes closed listening to Barry talking to one of the babies.

"Now I already had this talk with your brother and sister. Crystal, your mom is very special. She hasn't had an easy life. But I am going to do everything I can to make sure she is happy. I need you to try and let her get some rest. You three did not make things easy on her."

Crystal just made a gurgling sound.

"I hope that means you are going to be a good girl." Said Barry

"Hey, Barry." Said Caitlin smiling at him holding the small baby.

"How do you feel?" asked Barry

"You know the best part about having regenerative abilities?"

"What?"

"I have already healed from child birth. Is that Crystal?"

"Yeah Danielle and Henry, or H.R. as Cisco calls him are both sleeping. I changed Henry's diaper while you were sleeping."

"Let me guess he sprayed you. That is why you are wearing a Star labs shirt."

"How did you know?"

"Boys always do that for a while. I babysat some as a teenager, before I left for college. The parents of this baby boy warned me about that. Your mom laughed at me."

"Is she still around?"

"Yeah she is in the bio lab. She started to examine the cells."

"Actually I think I found something. Caitlin want to take a look?" asked Carla coming in with a tablet.

Caitlin took the tablet and looked over the tests and smiled.

"I will want to run my own set of test to double check. But it looks like these cells will heal Barbara's injury." Said Caitlin
