Part 30
Two and a half months later
Caitlin woke with a groan. Then ran to the bathroom where she threw up. She was beginning to hate morning sickness. But it helped that Barry was always right there with her. He held her hair back and rubbed her back. He would then help her off the floor and hand her a glass of water to rise her mouth out.
"Cait, this morning sickness seems kinda bad." Said Barry
"It's not that bad Barry. It's actually normal. I mean at least it isn't lasting all day."
"I know. But you shouldn't be even four months yet based on the files Harry found. But you are starting to show."
"Don't you think I have noticed that none of my clothes fit right any more? That Frost can't show up anywhere because my suit no longer fits? Not that you or anyone else will let me go out there to fight anyway."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."
"It's fine Barry. You didn't. Kate's stepsister is going to do an ultrasound to check on the baby today."
"We can see our baby?"
"Yeah. We should probably head over to the hall and see if Mary has arrived yet."
Barry smiled and kissed Caitlin as they headed into their bedroom. They had moved into a house not far from the house Barry's parents had owned a month ago. They started off in separate bedrooms not wanting to rush things. But two weeks ago Barry moved into the master bedroom that Caitlin had taken when they moved in. It was after a nightmare that Caitlin had. Not that she got them often. But she did get them from her time being held by MARA. But they found that she didn't get them or they were less severe when he held her. After getting dressed they headed out to Caitlin's car. Barry had wanted to run her but after running her two days ago he thought better of it. In the past month or so Caitlin started to pull a Diggle when he ran her. Throwing up nearly every time. So he stopped not wanting to risk it and have her get dehydrated they took the car. They arrived at the hall half an hour later. Alex, Kara, Sara and Ava were playing cards in the lounge while Clark, Nate and Jefferson Pierce were in one of the training room. They headed into the medical room where Mary was waiting for them along with Caitlin's mother.
"Caitlin, I hope that you don't mind that I am here." Said Carla
"No mom. It's fine. I am actually happy that you are taking an interest in this." Said Caitlin
Caitlin laid down on the medical bed and pulled her shirt up. Mary applied the gel which dispute being cold caused no reaction from Caitlin. Caitlin watched the screen and smiled at Barry when she saw the image on the screen.
"Everything looks good Caitlin. Except there is one thing." Said Mary
"Is something wrong? Asked Barry panicked.
"Barry Allen everything is fine. It's just well we aren't having just one baby. We are having two babies." Said Caitlin
"Two babies? You mean twins?" asked Barry
"Yes Flash. Twins." Said Mary rolling her eyes.
"Are you sure?" asked Barry
"Yes we are sure." Said Caitlin
Carla looked at the screen closer and then pointed out each of the babies to Barry.
*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%
In the lounge Kara let out a laugh having heard Barry's reaction with her super hearing.
"I take it that Barry just found out that he and Caitlin are not just having one kid." Said Sara
"Wait are you saying Caitlin is pregnant with twins?" asked Alex
"Yep. I have known for a couple weeks. I could hear two heartbeats besides Caitlin's coming from her for that long." Said Kara
"I met the kids in the future we were in before coming back to save our frosty friend." Said Sara
"So you know their names?" asked Alex
"Of course. But we can't tell you. Or we might screw up the timeline." Said Ava
"Aren't you the people that claim sometimes you screw things up for the better?" asked Kara
"Only the past Kara. The future is still in flux so really we can't say anything or we could influence events yet to come. Besides Barry and Caitlin should be the ones who tell us their names when they are ready." Said Sara
*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%
In the training room Clark smiled having over heard Barry just like Kara.
"What has you smiling Clark?" asked Nate
"Oh I just heard Barry's reaction to Caitlin's ultrasound. I always though it was Cisco that was prone to freak outs on team Flash." Said Clark
"The baby is ok right?" asked Jefferson
"Oh the babies are fine. Barry is a little panicked because they are having twins." Said Clark
"Yeah that will do it." Said Jefferson
"You knew that it would be twins didn't you Nate?" asked Clark
"Uh yeah. Time traveler remember?" said Nate
*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%
"Twins Cait?" asked Barry
"Relax Barry we will be fine. We have a whole group of friends to help us." Said Caitlin
"I doubt that Kate will be very willing to help. Well at least while they are in diapers." Said Mary
Barry smiled thinking back to during crisis Lois and Clark's son Jonathon crying and how Kate refused to try and help calm him down. Surprisingly Mick Rory was able to calm the baby.
"Well we could always ask Mick for help." Said Barry
"You are not referring to Mick 'Heatwave' Rory are you? You do remember that back in your first year as the Flash he and Snart kidnapped me. Not only that the had me literally sitting on a bomb!" yelled Caitlin
"You didn't see him with the baby. He was good with him. Baby Jonathan liked him."
"Bartholomew Henry Allen that pyrotechnic is not touching my babies unless there truly is no one else. Do I make myself clear? Because I can make it clearer if I need too."
Barry just nodded seeing the glow in Caitlin's eyes and feeling the temperature drop in the room.
"Uh would you mind calming down Caitlin? It's getting kind of cold in here." Said Mary
"Sorry Mary. Mom, are you ok?" said Caitlin
"I'm fine. I just spent the better part of two years in the arctic. I am not as bothered by the cold as I use to be. Besides in case you forgot that test you did was wrong. I am a meta like Icicle wanted. Though my cold powers are no where near as developed as yours." Said Carla
"What?" asked Barry
"Yeah my dad's evil side was successful. We were too late to stop the transformation." Said Caitlin
"Barry it is not your fault. Speed doesn't work very well at absolute zero." Said Carla
"I know."
"Lucky for us I didn't also develop dissociative identity disorder as well. No evil side. Though Caitlin's was never truly evil. Just angry and hurt."
"Mom, you do know that Barry was the only one besides you that could reach me through all that cold. Though his methods were a little crazy. You reminded me that I wasn't a killer. He challenged me to kill him. But when I couldn't he just told me that under all the cold I was still me." Said Caitlin
Barry took Caitlin into his arms and kissed her on top of her head.
