Part 34
Six months later
Caitlin winced as she felt a contraction. She was currently laying on a bed in the medical room of the hall of justice. Barry was sitting by her side. Unfortunately Mary Hamilton was stuck in Gotham. But Alex Danvers was there and was a medical school graduate. But admit she hadn't delivered a baby since medical, much like Caitlin hadn't until Jenna.
"Alex is everything ok?" asked Barry
"Everything is fine Barry." Said Alex a little annoyed.
"Does it normally take this long? I mean Cait has been in labor for over eight hours."
"Bartholomew Henry Allen it is normal! The first time can take a while." Said Caitlin coldly
"She is right. The heartbeats of the babies are strong." Said Alex
Barry took a damp cloth and wiped some of the sweat from Caitlin's face. It was an hour later that Alex told Caitlin to push on the next contraction. Barry was glad he healed fast because Caitlin ended up breaking two of his fingers in her death grip as first their daughter came into the world and then their son. Once the babies were cleaned up Caitlin held both babies in her arms. Alex stepped out to let the new family have some time alone together.
"We still haven't agreed on names." Said Barry
"I know. I still like Henry Joseph for our son." Said Caitlin
"I can agree with that. How about Alexandria Grace?"
"I like it."
"So Henry Joseph Snow and Alexandria Grace Snow." Said Barry
"Allen."
"Allen?"
"Barry, they should have their father's name. Besides one day I will probably have your name too. Barry, I love you. I want to spend my life with you."
"Cait, that would make me happy. I can't believe I was so blind. You have been part of my for a long time."
"I was blind too. We didn't see what was in front of us because we chose choose not to. I knew from that first day of you becoming the Flash. When you noticed I didn't smile. But you brought it back. When you stopped Clyde Mardon and you let us know you were ok. I smiled for the first time since I lost Ronnie the first time. That day you went down to the particle accelerator with me the first time, was when I realized that I trusted you. I felt safe with you."
"By knowing me I put you in danger."
"That maybe true. But I knew that time Snart and Rory kidnapped me that even when I begged you not to, you would do what you had to, to save me. Yes it was actually Joe and Cisco that came for me. But if you hadn't gone to fight those two I might have died. Barry even after I gave you that kiss that would have killed anyone else, you didn't give up on me. You talked me down. Yes you challenged me to kill you. But you only did that because you knew that I wouldn't be able to."
"You still fell into the darkness. I wasn't there and you gave in to the darkness. I went to the future for answers on how to stop Savitar. I visited you there. You were locked up in a cell in Iron Heights. Like the cell Zoom had the real Jay Garrick in. In that future you had become a cold killer."
"Barry, you changed that future."
"No it was HR who changed that future."
"I knew they switched."
"What?"
"I knew that HR and Iris switched places. The part of me that was Frost was still in control. But the part of me that was Caitlin knew. I knew if Iris lived then Savitar would never become the God he wanted to be."
"So you let it play out like he wanted."
"Yeah. Savitar didn't care about me like I thought. Remember when Savitar took Cisco to modify the speed force bazooka?"
"Yeah."
"To get Cisco to do it Savitar threatened to kill me. I didn't want to believe it then. But then he was going to kill Cisco just because he could. I had to stop him. No one was going to kill my annoying little brother but me."
Barry chuckled. He wondered if Cisco knew how Cait felt about him.

Kara raised an eyebrow when she heard then saw a grumbling Kate Kane walking into the lounge of the hall of justice with Barbara right behind her.
"Barbara, I still don't understand why Bruce couldn't bring this stuff himself or even just ship it." Said Kate
"Kate, you know he would have come but he has that board meeting he can't miss." Said Barbara
"Yeah I know. It's just I am not that big on babies."
"Does your girlfriend know that?"
"Sophie yeah she knows."
"Is she ok with that?"
"Yeah fine with it."
"Just checking."
"So you planning on having any kids?"
"First I need a man."
"Though you were seeing Dick again."
"We broke up again."
"You have one messed up love life."
"So the babies born yet?" asked Barbara looking at everyone.
"Two hours ago. One boy and one girl. But we don't have any names yet." Said Kara
"It is possible that they haven't picked names yet?" asked Kate
"Oh they picked names. I actually heard them but until either Barry or Caitlin announce them I am not saying anything." Said Clark smiling
"Oh come on cuz! You can tell me. I won't say anything." Said Kara
"Not happening Kara." Said Clark
"You're no fun Kal!"
"I could have told you your cousin is a stick in the mud." Said Lois
Just then Barry and Caitlin came out each holding one of the babies.
"Everyone this is Alexandria Grace and Cait has Henry Joseph Allen." Said Barry
"Awe they are so cute." Said Kara
"Looks to me that take after their mother. Personally I think that is a good thing." Said Kate
"Kate, it wouldn't be a bad thing that they are a little like their father. As long as they don't go jumping into things without a plan." Said Caitlin
"You know what my old partner use to say." Said Mick walking in with the rest of the Legends.
"Make a plan, execute the plan. Expect the plan to go off the rails. Throw away the plan." Said nearly everyone.
"Yep. Now let me see one of the kids so you can open your gifts. Promise I won't drink while holding your little bundle."
Barry looked at Caitlin who very reluctantly handed her son to the man that had once kidnapped her.
"You do anything to harm my baby and you will never use your heat gun again or hold a beer." Said Caitlin
Mick just nodded while everyone else smiled.
"She just implied that she would freeze his hands off right?" Kate asked Kara
"Yes. Though I heard from one of the guards when we were held by MARA that she told Lex that she wanted to shove an icicle where the sun doesn't shine. Or was it an icicle edema." Said Kara
"Too bad she is into Barry, and I have a girlfriend."
Kara just smiled at her friend.
