Faster Than The Speed of Light. [2]

Story Time.

Six Years From Now.
When I saw Chris walking toward me, I started to cry. "Daddy!" He called out. He was a natural at running though.
Only If Caitlin saw this
That day also he spoke his first word. He cried for me. Chasing me. "Your a good boy." I hugged him. I picked him up. "You're a good boy."
He had my Mom's blue eyes, and Caity's hazel brown hair.
"Dada, Story?" He asked, he definitely got both my and Caity's smarts.

I nodded. "After story time; you're going to go to sleep Huh slugger." I laid him down.
I chose a book. "The Giving Tree?"
He nodded. I sat on a chair and rocked back and forth, "Huff!" I huffed out in pain, as he jumped on my lap.
I read at least half the story and I looked and his eyes were closed. "Goodnight my beautiful Boy." I kissed his head. I left the creak open in the doorway so he see the light.
I went downstairs and Joe was just coming in from his late shift. "How's Chris?"
"Sleeping."
"Iris?"
"With Grayson, you know they're dating now. You know right?"
"But isn't Grayson, you know..." He paused, "a bit too old for Iris?" Joe said curious.
"He's 24." I smiled sullenly. "Iris is actually the one that's older. By a year Joe." Then I realized,
"Come on Joe. Iris doesn't have know about the attempt on Hiro or on Lex Luthor."
"No, not that, that he's an assassin---"
"Yeah I know, but he didn't, but at least we know that she more than safe with Grayson, than anyone of us." I opened the refrigerator, and held out the cold pizza slices, and yogurt. I sat down near the TV and turned it on softly.
There was a knock on the door. I looked at Joe "you got a visitor?" I whispered.
"At Ten at night?" I got up slowly, and cautiously walked to the door, Joe pointed his gun and I looked at him, he nodded to open the door.
I opened the door.
"Hey Guys!" Hiro yelled, by accident Joe shot the gun, but Hiro dodged it quickly, he yelled "if you guys are mad at me I'm sorry!"
Chris woke up, and started crying. I ran up stairs, and didn't see Chris on his bed. "Christopher?" I looked around. I heard sniffling in the closet. "Christopher it's all right Daddy's here."
"Daddy?"
I opened the door and saw him scared. His knees up to his chest hiding under clothes. "Come here. I'm here." He hugged me tight, I lifted him and he wouldn't let go "No! Wanna stay with Daddy!"
"Okay." I smiled. Carrying him, we went down stairs where Joe and Hiro, were having a beer.
"Aren't you a little young to have a beer?"
"Birche."
"Oh I guess my paternal instincts are kicking in."
"Uncle Hiro!" Chris jumped off my arms and into Hiro's. "Hi Chris!" He ruffled his hair, and smiled. Chris looked at me. "Daddy can I go to Uncle Hiro's Lab Again?"
We looked at each other.
The last time Chris went to Hiro's Laboratory, he caused, rats to grow really, really, big. It was hard to get them back in S.T.A.R. Labs. "I'll think about it okay? Right know you should go back to bed." I smile."
"Goodnight Uncle Hiro! Goodnight Grandpa!" Chris kissed them both in the cheek.
"Alright Baby, I'll leave the door wide open."
"Good night Daddy."
"I love you." I smile for him.
When he could see me I frowned and went to my room, and started crying, while holding a picture of me and Caitlin.
