You & I | The Flash FanFiction| BOOK 2

Chapter 17

PRESENT - 

It was 2 am and the Star Labs doctor was up in her kitchen, trying to get a cup of water, unable to sleep. 

"Cait?" She heard a whisper from behind her and dropped her cup. Lucky for her, her speedster boyfriend, caught it in time. 

"Oh-I'm so sorry," she stepped back and held onto the counter that quickly froze under her touch. She turned around in horror and shock, confused and helpless. 

"Hey, hey," Savitar caught hold of her shoulders and made her look at him, "what's wrong?" 

Caitlin bit her lip, she couldn't tell him that she was carrying his child, it's too soon. She couldn't let anyone know, especially since they were trying to find Matthew who was eerily obsessed with her. 

"I-I don't know. I think something's up with Frost," she lied through her teeth. 

Savitar frowned, "are you sure?" 

"Great, lie to the one person who knows you the best," Caitlin heard Frost in her head. 

Caitlin shook her head, "yeah, I'll, um, check it over at the lab." 

"Okay, come, let's get you back to bed." He swopped her up, bridal style. 

Caitlin laughed, "I can get to the room by myself." 

"I know." 

They woke up hours later and went to Star Labs where everyone was trying to figure out a plan to find Matthew. 

Caitlin walked over to Ron and whispered, "Hey, are you okay? You didn't come home last night."

"Yeah, I just had to visit someone who thought they saw Matthew."

Caitlin's eyebrows shot up, "did you find anything?"

Ron shook his head, "no, nothing." Caitlin went to walk away when Ron held her hand, "are you okay though?" He referenced the last time they were together and he saw her throw up.

Caitlin tried to smile, "I'll be much better when we catch Matthew." 

Savitar, Barry, and Cisco were observing this from afar.

"What's happening?" Barry asked.

"I don't know," Savitar sighed, "he wasn't home all night. She's probably asking about that."

"That's Caitlin for you, always caring about others," Cisco said.

"But never about herself," Savitar mumbled. 

"Why do you say that?" Barry intervened. 

"'Cause today, at, like, two in the morning, she was getting water or something and as soon as I called her, she dropped the cup. I caught it though, but I guess she got scared because she hit the cupboard behind her and it went all icy."

"But Frost wasn't awake?" Cisco asked, worried.

Savitar simply nodded his head. 

"Caitlin isn't always open about her situations," Barry said, "you should talk to her." 

"I did. If anything, she'll come to me when she's ready. I trust her." 

Iris caught everyone's attention, "the last time we saw Matthew was a few weeks ago, which isn't good." 

"Totally. It's been too quiet," Cisco agreed. 

"I'm surprised he hasn't come to us yet," Caitlin said. 

"Which is why we have to be ready," Iris concluded, "he's coming up with a plan, and we have no idea what it is. So we need to be ready." 

"Maybe get ready tomorrow, though." The team turned their heads to find Future Frost and Nora walking in.
