Thank you for all the support! You guys are amazing!

*Barry's POV*

I watched Joe carefully trying to gage his reaction, he opened and closed his mouth twice.

"Joe, are you okay?" Caitlin asked reaching across the table to touch his hand. My landed on Cisco who was laughing at Joes reaction.

"What in the hell?" Joe finally asked turning to give Barry a stern look.

"Is this for real? Your not playing some weird joke on me are you?" He asked clearly exasperated about the whole thing. I nodded my head firmly.

"Yep. Natalie ran so fast she traveled back 26 years. We already did a blood test and she is my biological daughter"

"Hi" Natalie said giving Joe a little wave. Joe looked at Caitlin and Cisco for confirmation and they both gave him nods. He sighed and rubbed his hands over his face.

"26 years in the future, huh?" Natalie nodded, "How old are you?" He asked leaning forward

"I turned 21 in April" she paused and put her finger on her chin, "26 years from now" nodding to herself. Joe slumped back and I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face at how animated of a person she was. Definitely my child. Joe looked perplexed and I furrowed my brows at him.

"Your disappointed aren't you, Grandpa Joe?" All eyes turned to look at Natalie.

"About what?" Joe asked leaning forward again. Caitlin and I exchanged a concerned look at the expression on Natalie's face.

"That I'm not Iris' daughter. It's okay if you are, Dad was too when he found out earlier today", I wanted so badly to correct her. I'm not at all upset that she's not Iris' daughter. When I saw Natalie I knew I was over her and I know who I want her mother to be.

"Natalie, I do have to say that I did expect that one day Iris would realize her feelings for Barry but that is probably just a dream now. Both of them have moved on to others, obviously, since your here that never comes true." Natalie's auburn brows rose and Joe struggled for words at her slightly icy stare, kinda reminded me of Caitlin.

"Not that I'm not glad that your here" Natalie started giggling when Joe finished and we all turned to look at her.

"Its fine Grandpa, I know you don't know me yet. Hopefully you will in 5 years when I'm born." she paused again, "That is if I don't change me being born, time travel is so confusing. No wonder Mom always told me never to run that fast" she shrugged and went back to eating her food. I stared at Natalie a moment later then looked back up at Joe.

"We need your help, Natalie is going to be stuck here for awhile and she needs a cover story for being in Central City" I said looking at Cisco and Caitlin for help.

"We were thinking she could come work at the CCPD as a forensic scientist assistant." Caitlin added in, I smiled at her.

"Okay but the problem is that Natalie doesn't exist yet. How do you plan on getting around that?" Joe countered

"Why don't we ask Felicity Que- Smoak" Natalie interrupted then cursed to herself, "Dammit, forget I said that". So Felicity marries Oliver, no surprise there.

"Does that mean that you know everyone that lives in Starling City?" Cisco asked excitedly, Natalie groaned and nodded. "Who do I marry?" he asked leaning forward with a grin. Natalie scrunched up her nose and gave her icy stare to Cisco.

"I can't tell you anything about the future" she snapped. Caitlin gave Cisco a stern look.

"You know better Cisco" Caitlin chastised.

"Thank you, at least M- Caitlin is on my side". My heart jolted, what if Caitlin is Natalie's mother. It would make sense, with all the slip ups and the idea had been in my head ever since I saw that look between the two of them earlier but I chickened out of asking Caitlin about it. I find myself excited at the idea of having a life with Caitlin, a life where we have Natalie and raise her to be the women she is right now. The thought warms my heart and makes butterflies bounce around my stomach. I'll ask Natalie if Caitlin is her mother later but for now I should probably call Felicity.

"I'll call Felicity, to see if she can come and make you a fake identity" I said quickly to avoid Joe and Cisco getting suspicious. When I turned around to get up to call Felicity, I saw Eddie and Iris walk in. I froze and barely registered Joe call them over to our table. I whirled around to Joe and glared at him. Natalie started to look uncomfortable when she saw Eddie and Iris. That's weird.

"Hey guys, Barry" Iris greeted, giving my name an icy tone to it, I rolled my eyes. It's been two months and I was keeping my promise to Joe.

"Whose this?" Eddie asked after saying hello to everyone.

"This is Natalie..." Cisco started, "Summers" Natalie finished shaking Eddie and Iris' hands with a tight smile. Why Summers? Another question to ask my dear daughter.

"She's going to be working with Barry in the forensics lab as his assistant" Joe continued and I smiled at him. Caitlin gestured for the two of them to take a seat.

"Natalie and I were just leaving. I'll see you guys later" I said quickly, feeling this fierce need to get my daughter away from them. Natalie smiled and nodded.

"Sure thing, Barry. Bye everyone. It was nice to meet you Iris and Detective Thawne" Caitlin looked like she was going to protest but I leaned down to her ear so no one could hear us.

"I need to speak with Natalie and call Felicity. Meet us back at the lab when your done" I whispered my lips against her ears. I could feel Caitlin shiver and nod. I straightened back up and smiled at her. When I turned back to Natalie she was smiling to herself. We really do need to talk. The two of us walked outside and then flashed back to STAR Labs.

"I'm gonna call Felicity and then you and I need to talk" I told Natalie as she sat down at Caitlin's desk chair.

" I figured you were gonna say that. Every time you think I'm up to something you have that look on her face"

"I don't have a look".

"Yes you do, it looks like that". I smiled and chuckled.

"Okay, whatever I'm gonna go call Felicity now" I said picking up my phone and dialing her number. I watched Natalie get up, place her necklace on the table and go to the treadmill. The dial rang twice before Felicity picked up.

"Hey Barry, what's up?" Felicity cheery voice spoke through the phone.

"I was wondering if you could help me out with creating an identity, I have a..." I looked over at Natalie," person here who needs your expertise"

"Sure thing, I'll be in Central City by tomorrow" she answered. I smiled.

"Thanks Felicity, your the best" I said and hung up. When I went to go have my conversation with Natalie who was running at super speed on the treadmill, I saw her locket. She did say her mother gave it to her and I am her father so technically it's not snooping if I look at what's inside. I shrugged and picked up the necklace, inside was a picture of Caitlin and I, looking a little bit older, holding a small pink bundle. Caitlin is the mother.

The end...of chapter 5! Sorry it was short but I have SATs tomorrow and need to get cracking on my studying for it! I hope you enjoyed the chapter!
