Home life

*I want to say I'm sorry for not posting a chapter sooner. I recently got my first ever job at a summer camp! My boss told me I had the week off next week so expect me to post new chapters. Whenever I get home from work I'll try and post a chapter. Also the use of information of the forming of a baby in this chapter may or may not be accurate. This also includes my personal view of how old is too old to have kids.


*1 month later*


Iris: 4 months pregnant


(Barry's POV)


I sit at the table eating a sandwich. Iris comes down the stairs. She grunts. "You uncomfortable?" I ask. "No not too bad yet." She says. I stand up and put the plate in the sink. I sit down beside her on the couch. I kiss her on the mouth. She touches her stomach. "Barry, feel here!" She says suddenly. I touch her stomach. I feel a sharp kick against my palm. I stare at Iris in wonder. "Is it what I think it is?" I ask. "Yes." She says. I don't feel too many more kicks but I feel a few every now and then. I grin at Iris. "Our son must love your kisses." Iris jokes. "He must think I'm a good kisser." I laugh. I lean in to kiss her. "Just think in five more months we'll have a son." Iris says. I smile against her lips.


As we lay in bed that night, Iris and I talk about the baby. "You know that growing up I never wanted to have kids." She said. "I never thought I would either." I tell her. "I always envisioned that if I did have one, I'd be in my late 30's. Most parents now have kids in they're late thirties. She glances at me. "Now that's something I've never understood. Why have kids that old? What causes them to wait?" I question. She smiles and kisses me. I pull her closer. "They probably don't know if they're marriage will stick. They haven't found the right one. The one that would die for them. The one that would take care of them." She says. I grin. "Like us?" I ask. "Exactly." She says. She lays her head on my shoulder. "I  would never have felt comfortable enough to have kids with anyone else. Being with you made me want some." I smile and kiss her.
