Speed and Ice: His spark

Part 17: The Unplanned Truth

*Two days after Nora and Barry fought in the cortex.*

Len's POV

As I am walking into the living room from the kitchen Barry walks in with tears pouring down his face. "Not again...." He mutters over and over again as he slides down the door. I set beside him and wrap my arms around him. "They couldn't find the heart beat could they?" I say knowing exactly what had happened. Today was going to be the day they did the ultrasound and listened to the heartbeat but I couldn't go because I had places to be and he wouldn't let me ditch them. I assume he was afraid that if they didn't find a heart beat I would witness him shatter. Watch his walls crumble. "No...." He whispers burying his head into my chest and just breaks down. I hold him tightly. If you must know we have been back together for the past 2 weeks but things have been bumpy for sure. I never noticed the silent tears streaming down my face until I sniffled. While yes, it hurts me to know that we more than likely lost the baby, it has to hurt so much for him. When me and him were together we were trying for a baby. He had a miscarriage. Nobody knew other than ARGUS who won't release anything to anyone. But it destroyed him. I know this will to. Last time he blamed himself but I don't know what he will do this time. As time goes on today he is quiet and doesn't eat anything. I can't even get him to drink anything.

*6 months later.*

As I bounce Eli on my hip he giggles. You see we decided on adoption. Eli which is short for Elijah was 2 weeks old when we got him. Now he is 6 months old and is always giggling. Me and Barry sort of dropped off of the face of the earth after he had the miscarriage. But now we are in Star Labs and he huffs. I chuckle. "Did they mess up the systems again?" I ask. The only response I get is a low growl. He starts typing into the computer and 40 minutes later he is leaning back in the chair with Eli on his chest asleep with his feet propped up on the desk. I am setting on the desk beside him. Team Flash happens to walk in with team supergirl, and team arrow. "So Felicity, Winn, can you please fix the algorithm or system or whatever. I have tried. I'm more the engineering person. Barry was the techy person. We fucked them up again." Cisco says. "Well no need. I reset them so only I have access to mess with them and if you ever and I mean ever fuck them up that bad again, trust me, I will roll you into a grave six feet under with so much pleasure I won't be able to keep the smile off my face and the happiness away." Bas says. I snort. "Baby...?" Digg asks confused. "I miscarried six months ago so we adopted about 2 weeks after that. He was born on the day I miscarried. So everyone meet our son Elijah Grayson Smythe-Snart." Bas explains. "C-Can I hold him?" Kara asks stuttering. "Go for it." Bas says reaching him to her. "Can I have my chair back?" Cisco asks. "No." Bas says. He gets a message. "Cisco open a breach to downtown where they are having the massive performance today." Bas says running and coming back seconds later in his old Dalton blazer. "Damn." I say. As we all get down there he runs out into the middle and snatches a mic. "I'm back everyone! It's odd when I run late I know! But I'm here now!" He yells. "Everyone welcome the one and only theodore Sebastian Smythe or better known as Sebastian Smythe!" Santana calls out looking relieved. "Alrighty everyone he said he is willing to try and do any song someone asks of him to do! Including some with high vocals! You got to remember he has and still can hit the whistle not in Praying by Kesha!" Santana yells again. I raise an eyebrow. "Wait wait wait! Where is Hunter!" Someone yells and he freezes. I immediately reach Eli to Cisco and run and pull him back behind the stage thingy they had there. He hugs himself to me as tears pour. You can hear the crowd being told what happened to Hunter. I hold the crying man tightly. "It's alright love. Everything is okay." I whisper. After a few minutes he pulls back. "Thanks Lenny." He says. "Anytime. Now are you ready to go out there and show those bitches what you can do?" I say grinning. He chuckles. By the end of the night by the time we get home to our penthouse we now live in he falls onto the bed. "I'm killed out." He mutters. Elijah went with Lisa and them tonight.
