This might be the last chapter, but a sequel may be in the near future. And sorry for not posting or writing when I said I would, been a little sick lately. It's also a really short chapter.
Barry was driving back to Joe's house after just getting the news that he will continue to have full custody of his kids. Speaking of them, they were in the back singing a Queen song. He has taught them well. Although they didn't get all the words right, or in the right order, he was still proud. In spite of all the loud singing and yelling, he could still hear Autumn talking to him with her mischievous mouth.
" Who's mommy?" She asked. It almost broke his heart, Iris needs to be here, he has to let her. A child should always know their mother.
" How about we go meet her." Barry said while turning off the road that lead to Joe's house. In the three days that they have been there, the kids hadn't talked to or been near Iris. They should've.
" Yaaa!" All the kids in the back yelled and clapped their hands.
Barry told Iris to meet him at the park. At first she was mad, and she totally had a right to be. But after a few minutes she agreed to go to the park. Barry made sure no one else came, this was a very important time for them.
He pulled up to the park, and they were all eager to go and play.
Iris was sitting on a bench with were legs crossed and a sad expression on her face.
" Look, that's mommy," Barry said pointing to Iris. She was about 30 feet away, but she smiled at them, tears in her eyes. The littles immediately hid their faces and clung to Barry. They were being shy, but Iris was a new person, it was understandable.
" C'mon," He urdged them. Barry sat down next to Iris and sat Autumn on his lap.
" Hi baby," Iris smiled," You're really pretty,"
Autumn smiled shyly.
" Talk like that and she'll be all over you!" Barry laughed.
" You two are handsome," Iris said wiping a tear from her face.
They all giggled and Dean climbed up in Iris' lap. She was surprised at first, but loved it after. Throughout all the pain, she is trying. She wants them in her life and she wants them by her side. Barry is trying too. He had been a single father, and will always continue to be, but now he has Iris. As long as she tries, so will he.
