Disclaimer: I don't own the Flash. I only own Natalie Allen and the plot.
*Natalie's POV*
My heart was beating faster than it ever has before and that's saying something for me. The second I blurted out that I was pregnant I saw everyone's face erupt in shock. I shared a worried glance with Mom and Uncle Cisco who gave me reassuring smiles. Mom had maneuvered herself to be in front of Dad just in case he freaked out.
"Well," I turned to Grandpa Joe expectantly, "Congratulations you two" he said happily and I smiled in relief. He came forward and I gave him a big hug.
"Thanks, grandpa" I replied then turned to look back at Dad and Eddie. Dad looked like he was trying to process everything I'd just said. Eddie's face went from shock to pure happiness.
"Are you serious? I'm gonna be a...a father?" He asked his blue eyes bright with hope.
"Yea, you're gonna be a father" I replied. Eddie let out a quick laugh of happiness and lifted me up into a hug. I squealed in surprise as he spun me around then kissed me sweetly on the lips. When we pulled away I couldn't stop smiling and neither could he.
"So, you aren't mad?" I asked a sliver of fear in my heart. Eddie shook his head and put his hand in my cheek. I leaned into his touch.
"Not at all. You've made me the happiest man in the world" He replied sincerity in all his features. For the first time since I heard about being pregnant, I was excited. Excited for the life Eddie and I will hopefully get to have with our baby. Everything happens for a reason, maybe, after I defeat Vortex I can find a way to go back to my time and take Eddie and the baby with me.
"Wait," we both turned to look at my Dad, "let me get this straight. My daughter, who hasn't even been conceived yet, is having a baby with my best friends ex-boyfriend who started dating her five weeks ago". My heart was starting to sink and I noticed Grandpa and Uncle Cisco edging towards Dad.
"Yea, that sounds about right" I replied feeling a little weird about it when he says it like that. Mom grabbed Dads face and turned his head away from Eddie and I.
"Barry, think before you get upset. This is a good thing, everyone is happy. This might be a sign that Natalie can survive in this timeline" Mom said and I watched as the wheels turned inside my fathers head.
"You're right" he said with a sigh, "but that doesn't mean I'm happy that you've been sleeping with my daughter" Dad said looking at Eddie with eyes of steel.
"And?" Mom prompted raising her brows at Dad. He sighed again.
"And, I'm really happy for you guys". His eyes widened for a fraction of a second, "I'm gonna be a grandpa. I'm too young to be a grandpa"
Grandpa Joe put a hand on Barry's shoulder.
"How do you think I feel, son? I'm gonna be a great grandfather". We all laughed at the statement. Eddie pulled me close to him and I laid my head on his chest. His hands came to rest protectively over my stomach. This is gonna be one hell of a pregnancy. I just pray that Vortex doesn't show up before the baby is born.
"Guys, am I the only thinking about the potential this child could have?" Uncle Cisco said with a grin. " now there is going to be three speedsters. I need to start in suit designs for a baby onsie!" He exclaimed clapping his hands together once. I giggled at the memories of the one he made me.
"What's so funny?" Eddie asked looking down at me. I couldn't stop smiling.
"I just remember all the ones he made me when I was a baby" Uncle Cisco whooped.
"Now that I know it is possible, I'm gonna get started right away. I so hope it's a boy!" Mom scoffed.
"Of course you want a boy. I think it's a girl" she challenged and a whole discussion ensued about the probability of the gender of the baby. I sighed happily and put my hand over my stomach. I'm gonna do everything in my power to protect this baby, this little one won't ever have to live without Eddie or I.
5 Months Later
*Eddie's POV*
The baby has grown very fast and today Nat and I are going to find out the gender of our baby. At first we were scared that the pregnancy would go too fast with the baby growing to fast. Natalie said Caitlin was only pregnant with her for 5 months but maybe since both of us aren't metahumans, it'll be a normal pregnancy. The baby is growing very quickly due to Natalie's metabolism but not so fast that it's dangerous which is probably attributed to me being completely human. Things have been crazy with work and getting the nursery ready at my apartment. Thank god I had a spare bedroom in my apartment or else we would've had to move.
"Ready to go?" Natalie asked stopping at my desk at the CCPD, I was too lost in thought staring at the ultrasound picture of the baby on my desk next to the picture of Natalie by my computer. I swear everyday she gets more beautiful, something about seeing her pregnant with my child just confirms that she's the one for me. I think I knew when I first saw her but ever since we found out about the baby I've been 100% sure, which is why the ring I had planned to give to Iris I am now giving to Natalie is burning a hole in my pocket.
"Yeah, how are you feeling?" I asked standing up and kissing her stomach then her lips. Natalie sighed.
"I'm just really hungry and my ankles hurt. Baby's been kicking a lot today" She replied scrunching up her nose in annoyance. Nat looked down at her bulging stomach and pointed at it, "You need to give Mommy a break, little one". My heart melted at the sight of her talking to our baby.
"Thawne, Summers! Don't you two have somewhere to be" Captain Singh called out. Everyone at the station has been excited about the baby ever since we told them we were expecting. Nat and I grinned at each other.
"Heading out now, Captain. We'll let you know what the gender is tomorrow" I promised and he grinned.
"Yeah, you better Thawne. Now get going". We both nodded and we headed to the hospital for the ultrasound. After Barry got over his anger about me sleeping with Natalie, he's been one of the most excited people about the baby. When we got all settled inside one of the rooms waiting for the technician to give the ultrasound. We would've done everything at STAR Labs but they didn't have a machine or know how to give an ultrasound.
"Well, your baby is looking really healthy so far." The nurse commented as she checked everything out. Nat and I smiled at each other and I kissed the hand I was holding.
"So, is it a boy or girl?" Natalie asked looking up at the screen with an impatient look on her face, she's never been good at waiting. I guess being a speedster does that to you.
"Well, Mrs, Thawne-"
"It's actually Miss. Summers as of right now" Natalie interrupted giving me a pointed look. I shook my head and kissed her forehead. The nurse laughed.
"Looks like someone is slacking" she teased, "Anyways, congrats it's a boy." She finished. I leaned forward to kiss Natalie.
"That's my boy" I said happily and Natalie laughed.
"That's our boy. Only 4 more months till he's here."
Once we left the appointment at the hospital we drove over to Joe's where everyone was waiting to hear the news on our son. I can't believe we are having a boy, I totally thought it was gonna be a girl. Having a girl would've been fine but I'll get to bond easier with a boy. I'm so happy it's a boy.
"So, what's the gender my great niece or nephew?" Cisco said the minute we came through he door. Behind him was Barry and Caitlin on the couch, Joe in the chair and Iris standing by the fireplace. I'm surprised she was here after what happened when we told her.
Natalie was four months pregnant now and she was starting to show, everyone at work had noticed she had gained weight. I was working in a new case with Joe when Iris had come in to have her weekly lunch with him. Things between us have been awkward and I usually just avoid her when she comes in but today I was too caught up on the case.
"Hey Eddie, how are you?" She asked while Joe had stepped away to put a file away.
"Great, how are you?" I answered back politely not pausing from typing in my report.
"Eddie, you've been avoiding me for months. Can't we talk? I miss us"
"No we can't talk. You broke my heart Iris and even if I wasn't in a very happy and committed relationship with someone else now,mI wouldn't want to get back together" I said finally looking up at her.
"You mean with Barry's daughter. Eddie she could disappear at any second" Iris whispered with a little but of anger.
"It's really none of your business Iris and I'm at work right now" Iris huffed and crossed her arms.
"I love you Eddie. I would leave my boyfriend if you asked me to". I widened my eyes, she's been dating this guy works at the newspaper she works at, some reporter for the politics section. I couldn't care less about either of them, I have a child on the way and I'm getting to old for this drama.
"Look Iris, you and I are over. Time to move on" I said with conviction. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Natalie walking towards us with a file in her hand obviously not paying attention to where she was going.
"Hey Nat, watch where you're walking. Wouldn't want to hurt baby Thawne" A Detective who stopped her from running into one of the desks joked. Iris's eyes widened and she turned to see Natalie with her just now showing bump.
"Thanks Evans." Nat replied then froze when she saw Iris and I staring at her.
"Iris" I started but she whirled around to look at me looking furious. Even though I don't want to be with her ever again, I still do really care about Iris.
"Baby Thawne, you knocked her up" Iris screamed. The whole station paused to look at us. Natalie put her hand over her stomach protectively and Joe came up to her side. I could tell he was torn between Iris and Natalie. Captain Singh came out and yelled for everyone to mind their own business and for Iris and I to take our argument outside.
"Iris, you need to leave" I whispered after I dragged her to the lobby. Joe and Natalie followed us out.
"Iris" Natalie said taking a step towards us both. I wanted her to walk away just in case but I knew she could handle herself. "I know that you are upset about losing Barry and Eddie and I know that you feel like it's my fault. I'm sorry that you feel that way but you need to move on before you lose your friends for good. Don't make this any harder on Grandpa Joe, can't you see it's killing him to always have to choose between his daughter and his son". Joe smiled down at Natalie and Iris turned and walked out of the precinct.
"Thank you" Joe said to Natalie kissed her forehead then ran after Iris.
"I love you" I said pulling Nat close to me. She smiled brightly.
"I love you too".
"Hey everybody" Natalie said as Caitlin and Barry jumped up to hug her.
"Natalie, Eddie. How was it?" Caitlin asked pulling Natalie to the couch and sitting her between Barry and her. I stood behind the couch where Natalie was sitting and put my hands on her shoulders.
"Do you wanna tell them or should I?" I asked Nat with a teasing smile. She grinned and squeezed my hands excitedly.
"Go ahead, daddy" I leaned down to kiss her quickly then looked up at the expectant faces of everyone. Iris even looked curious, a little hurt but curious.
"It's a boy" I said letting out a happy laugh.
"Yes! I so knew it!" Cisco cheered fist bumping the air. We slept the rest of the night celebrating and thinking of what to name our son. I'm pretty sure Natalie already knows what we are naming him. I'm happy with whatever she we finally got back to the apartment and in bed I was exhausted. I turned to Natalie and leaned my head on my arm.
"So what are we naming our little guy?" I asked putting my hand over her stomach with a smile. Natalie put her hand over mine and leaned towards me.
"His name is Bartholomew Henry Thawne, Bart for short" I wasn't at all surprised that she wanted to name him after Barry. The more I thought about, the more I knew that one day we would have to leave. Bart, Natalie and I would have to go back to the future one day. When that happens we can't be Thawne anymore, I'm going to have to take her name.
"I love it but I'd like to make one adjustment" she tilted her head at me in confusion. "Bartholomew Henry Allen is his name, Bart for short".
"Eddie are you sure? You really want to give up your last name?" She asked in concern but I knew the gesture made her happy.
"Yes, I don't want to ever be associated with Eobard Thawne ever again. One day the three of us will have to go back to the new timeline you are going to create or we have to leave town. It'll be safer if I just took your name" I explained. Natalie had tears in her eyes.
"Okay then Mr. Allen, let's get to bed" she whispered then leaned forward to give meet her lips with mine in a kiss with all the emotions we've both been feeling.
3 Months Later
*Barry's POV*
"He's late! I can't believe that he is two weeks late!" Natalie exclaimed as she waddled into STAR Labs. I shook my head and walked towards my very hormonal daughter.
"He's like his grandpa" I teased pulling her into a hug.
"I wish he would just be born already. I haven't used my speed in 9 months and I'm a bloated whale" she pouted as she hugged me back. Poor Natalie was due two weeks ago and hasn't given birth yet. I bet being that big is uncomfortable.
"Well, it'll be all worth the wait when he comes" I reassured pulling away from her and leading her to a seat.
"We are naming him after you by the way" Natalie mentioned playing with her necklace casually. My heart lurched.
"What? Are you serious?" I asked in awe. My heart filled with warmth.
"Yeah, you are an amazing person and my father whom both Eddie and I love, of course we'd name Bart after you" I grinned at the nickname. I smiled widely and leaned down to hug Natalie tightly.
"I love you too and I'm so honored that you'd name Bart after me" Natalie laughed and tears gathered in her eyes.
"Sorry, my hormones are making me a puddle all the time" she apologized wiping her tears. I laughed then stopped when she gasped.
"What's wrong?" I asked in concern when she winced.
"My water just broke"'Natalie said smiling. , "I'm going into labor". She winced, "and quickly. You need to take me to the hospital now. He's coming!" I panicked and flashed her to the hospital. The nurse wheeled her back and I let them take her so I could call Eddie and Caitlin.
*Eddie's POV*
I sat down at my desk with a sigh, Natalie's in a lot of pain from Bart being late. She's do unfortunate that she can't sleep and when she can't sleep neither can I.
"He'll come soon, Eddie" Joe reassured as he set a cup of coffee in front of me.
"Thanks Joe, I just wish that Natalie didn't have to be in pain all the time from him". Joe nodded and took a seat with his own cup of coffee. I closed my eyes for a second then opened them when my cell phone rang, it was Barry.
"Barry, what's up?" I said when I picked up the phone.
"Natalie is going into labor, I just brought her to the hospital. It's time Eddie". I sat there frozen in shock then recovered quickly.
"Ill be there as fast as I can" I answered then hung up and rushed to grab my things.
"What's going on?" joe asked looking up at me.
"Natalie's going into labor!" I said happily then ran out of the precinct with Joe on my tail. We put on the sirens and Joe offered to park while I jumped out and headed to the maternity ward. Barry, Caitlin and Cisco were all in the waiting room. I nodded at them and ran to the room they yelled to me. An hour later, Bart was brought into the world and I was the happiest man alive with my son as the fastest baby alive.
"He's beautiful" I whispered as I held my son in my arms for the time after they handed him back to us. Natalie smiled up at us tiredly.
"What's his name?" The nurse asked about to write his name down on the birth certificate.
"Bartholomew Henry" I answered then winked at Natalie, "Allen".
"Bart Allen" Natalie whispered and I handed our son to her.
Yay baby Bart is here! The story is coming to a close people. Next chapter is some family fluff then comes Vortex! Thanks for reading and please Review:)
