Part 31
Caitlin and Barry walked into the lounge to find Kara, Sara, Alex, Ava, Nate, Clark and Jefferson waiting. Kara was practically bouncing with excitement.
"Kara, I am guessing that you and Clark heard Barry earlier." Said Caitlin
"Yep. Though only Alex and Jefferson didn't know besides Clark and me." Said Kara
"Sara, you guys knew?" asked Barry
"Nate, Ava and I travel through time protecting the timeline. Been to the future. No I will not tell you anything about it. Not even the gender of the twins. Or their names." Said Sara
"That's fine Sara." Said Caitlin
"Well all I can say is good luck. Seeing as both of you are metas you are going to need it. Especially if they inherit either of your abilities." Said Jefferson
"Why do I have a feeling that even one baby speedster would be trouble?" asked Alex
"I would be more worried if one of them has Caitlin's powers." Said Nate
Caitlin groaned at the thought of a young child with no control over ice powers.
"It will be ok sweetie. We will deal with whatever is to come together." Said Barry hugging Caitlin close.
If anyone noticed a difference in their relationship they chose not to say anything. Though Kara having over heard Caitlin's confession after the rescue a few months back wasn't too surprised by the change. In fact she was happy to see that her two friends growing so close.
"So have you two discussed names yet?" asked Alex
"The only one we have ruled out is Nora for a girl. Long story short is from a timeline that no long exists not by my doing by the way. A daughter that was mine and Iris's came back to meet me. Changed events that would lead to her birth as well as when the crisis would have been because she listened to Eobard Thawne. Her name was Nora, but because we ended destroying Cicada's dagger to defeat her it was never used to help imprison Thawne and he escaped his death sentence. So crisis ended up moving up about five years. Nora was erased and well you all know what happened with Iris." Said Barry
"I'm surprised that we didn't notice of her being an adoration." Said Ava
"That is true she caused an alteration to the timeline. " said Sara
"Maybe you didn't because the future she came from was still in flux. The fact that she hadn't even been conceived yet made it possible for her to alter the timeline without you noticing because the events were really in your present." Said Caitlin
"Do you have any clue what they are talking about?" Clark asked Kara
"When it comes to some of this stuff I learned not to ask and just go with it." Said Kara
"Ok just checking." Said Clark
"Cait, we should head out and get something for lunch. You really didn't have much breakfast." Said Barry
"Well it's not my fault these two kids upset my stomach. Let's head over to Big Belly Burger." Said Caitlin
"Big Belly Burger?"
"I am craving fries dipped in a chocolate shake, oh and lots and lots of pickles."
"Right." Said Barry
They headed out leaving the others standing there. Both Jefferson and Clark smiling. They remembered when their wives had been pregnant with their kids.
"She wants a chocolate shake, fries and pickles?" asked Nate
"Women can crave odd things when they are pregnant Nate. When Lois was pregnant she liked to dip carrots in caramel sauce and hot sauce." Said Clark
"When Lynn was pregnant the first time she would put jelopeñeos on her ice cream." Said Jefferson
Nate looked green at the thought of it.
"Better get use to the idea Nate. I mean if you actually plan on anything happening with you and Zari." Said Sara
*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%
"So Cait besides the shake, fries and side of pickles what do you want?" asked Barry as they walked into Big Belly Burger.
"A double bacon cheese burger extra onion, no mayo and an order of onion rings with that sweet pepper sauce they have for the chicken nuggets. Oh and some nuggets."
"Right and if you can't eat all of that let me guess you expect me to finish it."
"Barry, I am eating for three and with my luck at least one of them will be a speedster like their daddy."
"Ok. You find a table I will get the food."
"Thanks honey. Oh there is Harry and Jesse. I'll go sit with them."
"Sure."
Caitlin walked over to Harry and Jesse.
"Mind if Barry and I join you guys?" asked Caitlin
"Of course you are welcome Snow." Said Harry
"How are you feeling?" asked Jesse
"Well other than the morning sickness great. Oh and by the way it's going to be twins." Said Caitlin
"I guess that isn't too surprising. They did implant more then one embryo." Said Harry
"Well that is standard procedure. Harry do you know the name of the time control meta?" asked Caitlin
"Her name is Zoe Coleman. She is only fifteen. Never been in any trouble but grew up in foster care. No known family. She was grabbed shortly after the law went into effect." Said Harry
"Meaning there was no one that gave a damn about her."
"True." Said Harry
"Do you know where she is now?" asked Caitlin
"She would have been taken in by ARGUS. Maybe you should talk to your friends that are in the know there." Said Harry
Caitlin nodded as Barry came over followed by a worker with two trays of food. Barry placed one in front of Caitlin and then took the one from the worker. Thanking her for the help.
"Caitlin, you are going to eat all of that?" asked Jesse
"Well I am guessing the two triples are actually Barry's but the rest is mine." Said Caitlin
Caitlin grabbed one of the fries dipped it in her shake and bit it smiling. The other three just watched her for a minute. Then Barry began to dig into his own food. After finishing lunch Barry took Caitlin home so that she could take a nap.
