Chapter 8

"What do you think, Barry? Of course we are not! I mean first I discover that you have a son of hers and now you tell me that instead of being just one, there are two!"




"I'm not to blame Iris ..." I said, starting to get a little fed up with her attitude.


- And I am? That was good ... .- Iris said furiously leaving the computer and turning to me. - What is going on between us Barry? Are not you happy?


- Of course I am! Why do you ask that? "I asked confused.


"Because you have two of her children ... If you were happy with us you had the children with me!" Cried Iris, almost screaming.


- You cant blame her for this Iris!


- Of course I can! As much as I can, I am! She seduced you ... "Iris shouted.


"If we had children together it's because we both wanted to ... Not because she seduced me. I do not understand why you're like this ... I thought you loved me!


- I do! Now you, I cant say the same, "said Iris furiously.


"You know what, I think we need some time to think things through. I'll walk around! Dont wait for me! "I said as I left our house. I went jogging around the city, it always helped me think better of things, but where could I stay tonight? When I found myself by the door of Caitlin's house. I knocked on the door and Caitlin opened it.


"Barry, what are you doing here?" She asked in surprise.


"Does the offer still hold?" I asked, and she smiled, letting me in.


"We were just now starting to eat, and that's good enough for the three of us," Caitlin said, and sat down next to Thomas smiling at me.


Dinner was spent between conversations and smiles, as much as things in my love life were bad, I knew that with Caitlin I could always tell them to cheer me up and that was what was happening.


"Well, it's been a long day, I'm going to bed," Thomas said, getting up from the table. "Good night, mother, good evening, father.


"Good night, son," we said at the same time.


"So you showed up here because things at home didnt go well," Caitlin said. "You want to tell me?"


"I told her we had a girl and she freak out. She said that I no longer seemed to love her and more."


"Why did you tell her?" Caitlin asked, looking me in the eye.


"I know there's a lot going on, but I wanted her to know."


"Okay, we will not talk about it anymore today, because you must be very tired ... I know it's no big deal, but I just have this couch." Caitlin looked at the sofa and I smiled.


"That's enough! Thank you, Caitlin, "he said, smiling.


"It's just a couch, do not thank me ... I know you'd do the same for me ... Wait a minute, I'll get you some blankets and a cushion to make yourself more comfortable."


In the morning I woke up it was half past seven and as I was the first I decided to go to the Jitters to get some coffee for us and some cakes for breakfast. In Ten minutes I had gone back to Caitlin's house and five minutes later both Caitlin and Thomas had agreed.


"Good morning, family," Thomas said, smiling. "Hmm, cookies!"


"I brought two The Flash and a Killer Frost for us and some cookies for breakfast."


"You didnt have to be bothered Barry, I could have made breakfast."


"With what? Your fridge and cupboards are completely empty, "I said with a laugh.


"I forgot to go to the supermarket," Caitlin said, laughing and sat down next to Thomas.


"We can all go soon," Thomas said, smiling and we both nodded.


"That's a great idea, but before that we have to go to Star Labs that they should already be waiting for us."


We went to Star Labs and there were Cisco, Harry, Ralf and Joe. When we got there Caitlin took his place next to Cisco and me and Thomas went to the edge of Joe, who looked like he had not slept much.


"How are you, Joe?" I asked, putting my hand on his shoulder.


"Not very well, the baby cries all night and I can hardly sleep because I have to always go to her room. And how are things with you?


- Not too good! Iris is very upset about this whole situation ... I know it's not easy to find out that your fiancé has two children from another person but it's not fair she make me choose between them or her.


"Did she do that?" Joe asked in amazement at his daughter's attitude. "It really does not look like her, but give her some space and time to get back to normal.


"Good morning," Iris exclaimed as she entered the lab.


"What are you doing here?" Asked Cisco, surprised to see her here after the scene she did yesterday.


"That I know I still have here, and this is my place of work ... Ah! He's still here! "Iris exclaimed as she saw Thomas beside me talking to Joe.


"Can you stop saying that?" Caitlin asked.


"Iris, you know you're not in the right team?" Cisco asked. "This is Barry and Dr. Wells."


- Of course I command ... Since he went to Speedforce and left me here alone that I command in this team so it touches the move that you have to train, - said Iris pointed at Cisco and me.


- Iris I'm going to say this again and it's the last one so see if you know ... You do not send here ... I went to Speedforce to save the people of Central City and I left Cisco in charge of the lab because he has more years here than thou, if thou hast taken the throne, it is not my fault. Besides what do you think you can do here? After all, you do not understand anything about physics or chemistry.


"Are you driving me out of here?" Iris asked, confused and furious.


"I'm not pushing you out of here, I just do not want you to always say you're the boss of the team because it's a lie.


"But we're Team Flash," Iris said irritably, raising her voice, pointing at her and Barry.


"AHAHAHAHAHA!" Laughed Killer Frost. "You?! You are Team Flash?" That's funny.


"I see no joke!" Cried Iris, realizing that Caitlin had been transformed.


- Of course you dont .... Was it you who sacrificed yourself to save the city? Did you abandon all your friends to join Speedforce? Did you take him from there, to bring him home again? NOT! That was Barry and us. "Killer Frost pointed to her and to Cisco." You always told Cisco that it was not worth trying because Barry would never come home. And now you still have the nerve to say you're Team Flash!"


"You're going to let her talk to me like that?" Iris asked Barry, getting scared of Killer Frost. "Barry you said I was part of Team Flash.


- And you did, but with this attitude I do not know.... You are disturbing the work of us all and even you have said for some time that you wanted to concentrate the full time in the newspaper, here is a good time to start it.


"This all happened because he came," said Iris angry pointing at Thomas."If he still stayed in his house and with his parents in the future, he still be okay here!"


"I'm not to blame, it was an accident to have come here," Thomas defended himself.


- Of course you are not guilty ... You are just like your mother, who is also never is guilty ... Dear Caitlin is never guilty too, she disappears for six months without saying anything and suddenly appears and returns to the team without questions, she can very well kill someone with your little white friend that no one says it's her fault .... Now I'm suffering with this situation of knowing that my fiancé exchanges me for her in the future ... And I'm the bad guy?!


"Iris!" Joe shouted. "Dont you think you're overreacting already? No one is to blame for what is happening, neither Barry, nor Caitlin, much less the kid who is here alone and moreover have to take with your scenes of ridiculous jealousy."


- Even you, Dad? I thought you were on my side?


"And I am ! But he's my son too, even if it's not blood!" Joe exclaimed and Iris goes away , "I think I'll talk to her. I am her father after all."


"I'm sorry about this ... Do not mind your aunt, she's just too stressed out with this whole situation," I told Thomas and he understood the situation.
