Barry knew something was off when he got home that evening from CCPD. Caitlin seemed to be bouncing on her toes and was holding back a grin rather unsuccessfully. To him she looked like an adorable puppy, bright and full of life. He knew she was getting excited about the wedding, always flipping through bridal magazines and jotting notes down in an ever present planner. Barry was glad that Iris decided to put the past behind them and help Caitlin out. He knew that the two women would become friends if they could just let their guard down long enough to do so. All through dinner Caitlin kept fidgeting, and it was all Barry could do to hold back a laugh, not used to seeing the normally calm woman flighty.

After they ate Barry snagged Caitlin around the waist and pulled her close to him, noting that her body felt a little softer than normal. He had noticed little changes, but nothing major over the past few weeks. He figured it was because she was recovering from the PTSD inflicted by both Zoom and Killer Frost. She was happier, ate better and slept through the night almost every night now. At first she had tossed and turned, still having dreams about what had happened, but slowly, over time, she was able to let her guard down. They were happy and in love, nothing could be better.

"Why are you so full of energy tonight Dr. Snow?" Barry inquired, rubbing his nose in her hair, letting her scent fill his lungs and heart. Her shampoo wasn't a girly kind, instead smelling of peppermint, sharp and clean.

"I'm just really happy is all." Caitlin smiled up at him, making his already mushy heart melt even further. "I've also got a surprise for you."

"Oh you do?" Barry got a full blast of Caitlin smile in his face before she stood up on her tiptoes and whispered in his ear,

"What would you say to another Kid Flash?"

At that moment the world seemed to stop moving. Another Kid Flash? Barry had a feeling she wasn't referring to the Wally from other Earth's either. A child, one equal parts the two of them, growing between them right now. It was enough to make his head spin. Pulling back he looked down into the eyes of the woman he loved, seeing his entire future written in their smiling depths. Joy he had never experienced filled him and suddenly he couldn't keep still. Wrapping Caitlin tight in his arms he did a few quick spins, enough to get her dizzy but not enough to make her sick. Barry felt like running as fast as he could, telling the entire world that he was going to be a father. Light sparkled inside him, bleeding out into a huge grin.

"I take it you're happy?" Cait asked shyly.

"I am more than happy, beautiful." Barry answered peppering her face with soft kisses. "I am over the moon excited about this. I never dreamed I could be this happy."

"If you had told me a year ago that I would be a metahuman, in love with the Flash and having his love in return, engaged to Barry Allen and expecting our first child; I would have thought they were referring to an alternate timeline, not my life." Caitlin pulled him down onto the couch beside her, curling up against him like a cat. Barry loved it when she did that, completely at ease with who she is and willing to let him snuggle her close.

"Still, you of all people should know the impossible happens every day." Barry tucked her into his lap, arms holding his dreams tight, knowing he was utterly happy. "Look at me; I should have died dozens of times the last three years, but I haven't."

That was the one thing that would keep him up at night though, the fear that one day it would all be taken from him. That he wouldn't be fast enough or Caitlin wasn't able to be cold enough. In his head he knew that whatever happened Team Flash would face it together, but the human inside him feared the unknown. He knew the lives they led were dangerous, and that one day it could be ripped from them. He also knew they couldn't let that fear keep them from living their lives to the fullest.

"True." Her warm breath slid against his skin as she nuzzled her nose into his neck. Just like any other time they get close, Barry's body comes alive. He was always craving her, her touch, her sex, her voice all day long. She was an addiction, more powerful than the elixirs that she had made in the past in an effort to get him drunk. One touch from Caitlin and he was begging for more, never completely satisfied, only stated for a time. Now that he knew he had marked her forever as his, the primal side of him came to life. He needed to indulge himself in her over and over, tieing them together closer and closer until there was no Barry and Caitlin, only them in a single form.

"So, now that I'm officially a stud, wanna go another round?"

Caitlin's laughter filled his ears and heart as they retired to the bedroom to fall into each other all over again.


Staring at the ceiling Caitlin struggled to catch her breath, body still thrumming with power. She had known sex with Barry to be amazing, but now, now that she was pregnant and all her nerve endings were changing as her body grew their child … well, let's just say Barry was lucky he had the meta human stamina that he does and that she has the newly acquired meta powers of her own. He had just thought their lust filled weekends free of day and night work were hot. Now that she was changing, Caitlin had a feeling she was going to spend a good majority of the next 7 and a half months horny as hell.

What she had just experienced was easily three times more pleasurable than anything she had encountered in the past, and they had done a lot of lovemaking since they had gotten together. It was true, their powers were opposites, so they were drawn to each other like magnets. Emotionally, socially, physically. Especially physically. Even now, three rounds of sex into the night, her body was already begging for more. Who would have known Caitlin Snow to be human and lust filled after all.

Beside her Barry laid with an arm flung over his eyes, chest heaving. Glimmering in the night time light, he was absolutely delicious to look at. All lean and smooth, silky and soft, strong and capable. Most importantly, he was all hers. Body warming at the thoughts in her mind, Caitlin reached over and began caressing his ribs and stomach. She relished the feel of his hot flesh under her hand, being drawn to him, needing more.

With a chuckle Barry grabbed her and pulled her back into their paradise.
