Part 70
Six months later
Caitlin looked at herself in the full length mirror and smiled. No one would believe that six months ago she had given birth to triplets. There was a knock on her bedroom door.
"Come in." said Caitlin
"Barry is waiting downstairs." Said Carla coming in with Danielle on her hip.
"Are you sure you and Cecile will be ok with the three of them?"
"Yes honey. You should go out and have a good time."
"Mom, do you think we will ever be able to get dad back?"
"I don't know. So far everything we have tried hasn't worked. Don't worry about that tonight. Just have a good time."
"Ok. You young lady be good for grandma and nana." Said Caitlin
Danielle just smiled her green eyes bright. Danielle and Crystal were nearly identical. Looking just like their mom except with green eyes like their dad. Henry or H.R. as everyone had started to call him looked just like his dad only with his mom's warm brown eyes. Caitlin walked down the stairs to find Barry waiting. He was dressed in a suit with a red tie. Caitlin smiled at her boyfriend. He really cleaned up nice. She watched as Barry's smile grew really big. Caitlin had chosen to wear a blue dress that fell to her ankles. On her feet were a pair of heels that matched the dress.
"Cait, you look beautiful as always. But I must say tonight you look even more so." Said Barry
"Well you look pretty good yourself." Said Caitlin
"You two go have a good time. We can handle these three." Said Cecile
"Thanks for coming over to help my mom Cecile." Said Caitlin
"It's not a problem. I needed to get out of the house. It is lonely since Joe went into that rehab program."
Barry and Caitlin nodded understanding. Joe had gone down hill fast after Iris's death. He started drinking a lot. It all came to head a month ago. He showed up to a crime scene so drunk he could hardly stand. Singh suspended him and he was ordered into rehab or he would lose his job.
"Have you heard how he is doing?" asked Caitlin
"He has made it through the withdraw from the alcohol. But it is still going to be a long road to recovery. He has another two months before he will be released. Singh has not promised Joe his job back. But unless Joe proves that is not drinking he won't be a loud back." Said Cecile
"Which means he will not be a loud to be alone with the triplets. Both Cait and I love him. But we can't trust him." Said Barry
"I understand. Now both of you go." Said Cecile
Barry drove the two of them to a nice restaurant. Caitlin knew that he was planning something. But for once in her life she was going to let things play out. They ordered their meals.
"Barry, you seem nervous." Said Caitlin taking a sip of her wine.
"I just want tonight to be really special."
"You should know just spending time with you makes it special."
"Well you make my life pretty special. You are amazing. A brilliant scientist and a wonderful mother."
"Well you are amazing as well. I mean not just because you are a hero."
"Hey I am not the only hero sitting here. You do know how hot you are in that suit?" asked Barry in a low voice.
Caitlin blushed. She knew Frost really was a hero. The triplets have a nanny that comes in to watch them while both Caitlin and Barry went to their day jobs. Though she would often end up staying late if there was a meta attack. Caitlin suspected that their nanny Jennifer had figured out their secret identities. But with what she was paid to take care of the babies she wasn't going to say anything. Besides Barry and Caitlin had checked out the woman. They knew they could trust her with their secret. After dinner which included them sharing dessert, Barry drove them to the waterfront. They got out of the car and Barry led Caitlin to a spot near where Mark Marden made a tidal wave in a long erased timeline. He knelt in front of her pulling a ring box from his pocket and opening it.
"Caitlin, I once told you that sometimes great possibilities are right in front of us. But we don't see them because we choose not too. Well I finally see the best possibility. One that has been not only in front of but by my side. You bring out the best in me. So will you make me the happiest man alive and not only be my partner at work, but in life. Will you always be the Sandy to my Danny? Because you are the one that I want. Caitlin Danielle Snow will you marry me?" asked Barry
"That was really cheesy. But yes Bartholomew Henry Allen, I will marry you. Because you are the one that I want. Because as you know we are quite a pair. Just don't expect me to ever sing in public with you ever again."
Barry smiled as he stood up and gave Caitlin a deep and passionate kiss. They broke when the need for air became too great. After catching their breath Barry slid the simple diamond, ruby and blue sapphire ring onto Caitlin's hand.
Gotham City
Barbara sat at her computer in the Bat Cave. She had hacked into an ARGUS satellite to access video footage of the Central City waterfront. She just watched as Barry proposed to Caitlin. Judging by Caitlin's reaction she said yes. Hearing a grunt behind her she rolled her eyes as she stood up.
"Shouldn't you be working out? Caitlin and her mother didn't work so hard for you to regain the use of your legs just for you to sit at that computer spying on your friends." Said Bruce
Barbara rolled her eyes then got up and headed over to the mats in the work out area to spar with Tim.
