"Okay, Miss Snow, we'll start the surgery shortly, do you have any questions?" the doctor asked

"I am a doctor, I know the procedure..."

"Would you..."

"See a 3-month-old fetus? No thanks... what I wanted was my baby..." she said starting to cry

"Cait, don't worry, you're not alone," Barry said, trying to calm her down

"Mr. Allen, you should leave your wife with the nurses to prepare for the surgery"

"We are not..."

"Fine..." Barry said, kissing Caitlin softly on the forehead "I'll wait for you outside, Caitlin... and I'll make sure Frost called your mother"

"Thanks again"


Waiting room

"Allen" said Carla Tannhauser, hugging Barry "Has the surgery already started?"

"Preparations were starting so I think you will only be able to see her after the surgery"

"Too bad... I would have liked to reassure her...Thank you for staying with her... 
Anyway, where is he... Caitlin's partner?"

"Maybe it's better not to talk about it in front of Frost..." he whispered in the woman's ear

"Why?"

"He left her alone after he finds out..."

"Ok, I understand... But, Today wasn't your wedding anniversary with Iris"

"It was last night...and I missed dinner..." Barry said, realizing he had left his wife with no answers

"Didn't she worry?"

"I didn't take my cell phone..."

"You can use mine if you want Barry," Frost said, handing him his smartphone

"Thanks..." he said, hastily dialing the number

Barry let it ring for a few seconds, but soon realized the line was busy

"What happens?" Frost asked

"The line is busy... it's 10 in the morning on Monday... she should be at work... I'll try to talk to Allegra"

"Hi Frosty, how are you?" said Allegra, answering the call

"Allegra it's Barry, could I speak to Iris? I went out last night in an emergency and I didn't bring my phone and I can't get through to Iris."

"Okay, Barry, I'll see if the boss is available," she chuckled, walking towards Iris's office

Approaching Iris' office, Allegra heard her talking on the phone, initially, she couldn't understand what exactly she was talking about, but the moment she was near the open door, ready to knock, she heard something that surprised her deeply

"... Babe I can't wait for tomorrow, I can't wait before I have a date again... I love you so much..."

"Allegra, what are you doing, do you spy on the boss?" a colleague asked, revealing Allegra's presence to Iris

"No, I just wanted to talk to her but, I didn't want to interrupt her conversation on the phone"

"It wasn't important, it was my husband"

"Yes, OK... "

"What did you want to talk to me about, Allegra?"

"Nothing important... I wanted to take the day off because I'm not feeling very well..."

"Well actually you're pale and your voice trembles like you're freezing... go ahead"

"Thanks, boss..."

End Flashback



"Do you expect me to believe my daughter was having an affair?"

"Considering Bart wasn't even Barry's son, I doubt that should be hard to believe!" said Allegra, now tired of years of secrets

"Should I believe this too?"

"Nora, call your mother," Barry said, still looking Joe in the eye

"Here... She answered the call..." Nora said handing the phone to Barry

"Nora, are you with your grandfather?"

"Iris, if you want to talk to Nora, you must first tell me Bart's father's name... the name of the man you destroyed my family for"

"Barry, that was my family! Keep him out of everything... click"

"Thanks, Nora..." Barry said, giving her the phone back "What do you say now, Joe?"

"Can we talk alone... a moment?"
