Guest- Bart Allen isn't an OC, he is in the comics as half Thawne and half Allen. If this helps you decide better!:)

Quick note to those that are confused about who killed Caitlin. Vortex opened the portal that accidentally let out Rainbow Raider who in turn infected Ronnie, leading to Ronnie killing Caitlin. Barry blames Vortex, not Ronnie. If Vortex never did his vortex thing then neither Caitlin or Barry would've died in the future. I hope that clear to everyone now, sorry if I was being confusing!
ALSO, REMEMBER TO VOTE ON BART ALLEN! (I don't care if I get to do that part or not but I want you guys to pick whether or not that becomes a thing;) ) The vote as of right now is 5 for Yay and 4 for Nay.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Flash, only Natalie Allen and the plot.
*Caitlin's POV*
It's been a week since the almost accident as Cisco has been calling it. Today Barry is moving all of his things into 'our apartment' as we now call. The packing part was easy but the unpacking has been a bit of an issue. I've put the majority of my things into storage but it's still the matter of placing things in different places. Natalie has been helping the best she could, she's still a little weak and is on a no super speed rule until the end of the month so Eddie and I have been driving her places. Although she never really wants to go anywhere except work, STAR Labs and Jitters.
The meta human, which Cisco named the Microwave, is now in the morgue after Joe shot him in the chest. Everyone was surprised Barry didn't kill him but I know that if Barry had that he would feel so guilty and Joe couldn't allow that to happen to Barry. No one came to claim his body, his real name was Andrew Callens and he had escaped from a mental institution when the particle accelerator exploded.
"Dad, why do you have so much stuff?" Natalie whined as she brought another box into the living room to set down, " I don't even have this much stuff!"
"All your stuff is in the year 2041" Barry quipped back with a grin then flashed to get another box. Natalie grumbled and took a seat at the counter.
"I miss my super speed, don't you think one week is enough?" She said dramatically flailing her arms at me with a pained expression. I smiled softly at her and put my hand on her arm.
"No, your body went through a lot and I don't care if you have super healing abilities. You still need to let your body rest" She scrunched her nose up but nodded knowing that I was right.
"Can it at least end by next week?" She asked giving me a pleading smile. I sighed.
"Fine but I'm going to do another round of tests to make sure there isn't any rebounding effects" I said in a resigned tone then braced myself for the hug Natalie gave me a second later.
"Thanks Mom, I will be extra careful and go as slow as possible for me" she promised with a smile on her face. Natalie had moved into Eddie's apartment two days after the incident, which surprised no one and only took moving the clothes we had bought Natalie. We were done in an hour flat, most of the time was spent commuting from STAR Labs to Eddie's place. Barry flashed back in with the last box which probably had more books on forensic science.
"I remember these. I used to ask you to read them to me as my bedtime stories" Natalie said pulling out one of the big books.
"That's my girl" Barry joked kissing Natalie's head. The three of us laughed and Barry came to stand by me and kiss me quickly on the lips.
"We are officially done moving boxes" He said with a grin.
"Now to organize" I sighed with a smile. Barry smirked.
"Give me 45 seconds" He promised and then 45 seconds later all his stuff was moved into the places I showed him earlier.
"Now I am officially moved in" Barry said with a big smile. Natalie clapped then jumped off the stool to go to the fridge.
"Uncle Cisco and I snuck this in, this morning" she said pulling out a small cake that read 'Welcome Home' in red icing. Barry and I smiled widely at out daughter for the sweet gesture.
"Natalie, you didn't have to do that" I said with awe in my voice. Barry and I raised a great person.
"Yes I did." She said turning to us with tears in her green eyes, "I lost the two of you and now I have you back. I never got to thank you for being amazing parents, so I'm going to spend the rest of my time here making sure you two know how much I love and appreciate you". Now I'm crying, one look at Barry and he had tears shining in his eyes.
"Natalie" I whispered and pulled her into a tight hug. Barry joined us a second later and it was a big family hug, I imagine that we do a lot of these in the future. After we pulled away and wiped our eyes.
"I should go and let you two enjoy...all this" Natalie said gesturing to everything around us.
"You don't have to go" I assured and she shook her head.
"Yes I do, trust me you will have plenty of time with me. After I'm born you guys don't get much time just the two of you, so enjoy it" I pulled her into another hug then Barry kissed her forehead.
"I'll see you two tomorrow" Natalie said as she walked out the door at a slow pace.
"Wait, you aren't going to use your super speed are you?" I asked with a stern look on my face. She raised her hands in surrender.
"I'm going to take a cab. Don put worry so much Mom. Love you guys, have fun but not to much fun, I don't wanna be born yet!" Natalie said as she turned and left the room shutting the front door behind her. I turned around shaking my ahead at Natalie's antics.
"That girl will be the death of me" I muttered. Barry laughed.
"Tell me about it but it's all worth it. I get to be with you and we have her" he replied then leaned down to kiss me. I thought back to when Natalie was dying in the bathtub and she told me how much Barry loved me. Does he know that I love him that much as well?
"Barry" he hummed in response as our foreheads leaned together, "I love you". He opened his green eyes to look at me.
"I love you too, Cait"
"You know that I love you more than I ever did or could love Ronnie. He was my first love but you Barry Allen are going to be my last" I vowed looking straight up at those beautiful green orbs I love so much, the ones that my daughter gets. Barry's smile was almost blinding and I knew that I'd made him happy.
"I know" he whispered huskily before crashing his lips to my own. It wasn't long before he flashed us to the bedroom and shut the door behind us.
*Cisco's POV*
I have finally done it, after almost four months of hard work it has been done. You see I decided that my dear goddaughter needed to have a suit. Running around all the time could seriously ruin some clothes and one day we might need Natalie to use her powers to help us against a meta. Plus I just wanted to make another suit with the white part we saw in the newspaper from the future.
"Hey Uncle Cisco, whatcha working on?" I jumped up from my seat and whirled around to face the speedster.
"What are you part ninja too?" I exclaimed putting my hand over my chest, "I didn't even hear you come in". Natalie giggled and smiled sweetly at me.
"Sorry Uncle Cisco, I didn't mean to scare you" She said crossing her arms.
" I was scared just startled is all" I corrected and Nat laughed lightly at me. "Wait, why didn't you use your super speed?".
"Mom has me on a strict no super speed rule till next week so I took a cab here" she replied skipping over to my work station. "What are you really working on? Is that another suit?". I pushed her away gently.
"It's a surprise for Christmas that someone is getting. No peaking" I chastised doing my best to channel my inner Caitlin. Natalie back away with her hands up.
"No peaking, gotcha but Christmas is still 4 months away" she reminded raising her auburn brows at me. I scoffed.
"So, doesn't mean I can't start early and we may need it before then"
"Maybe" she mused putting her finger in her chin in thought, "Mom and Dad loved the cake by the way" she said after a moment. I grinned.
"Awesome, I worked hard on that cake" Now it was Nat's turn to scoff.
"What are you talking about? I did all the work!" She exclaimed with a laugh.
"I supervised and licked the bowl" I corrected and she rolled her eyes at me in amusement. I enjoy being an Uncle.
Okay, everyone that was my fluffy chapter. We are quickly heading to the entrance of Vortex which means the ending of this story. How fast this comes also depends on your votes for Bart Allen! Again, the score at this moment is 5 for Yay and 4 for Nay.
