6 YEARS LATER
I got home from work at the police station and sat down immediately. Caitlin was in the kitchen cooking dinner. The smell of the baked ziti she was cooking made my stomach growl. I turned on the news to see the anchors covering a story about how the Flash finally captured Heatwave today, but Captain Cold was still on the loose. I started to drift off to sleep.
"Daddy! Do you want to play dolls with me?"
"Sorry Quinn, dinner is almost ready. How about after dinner?"
"Ok!"
Quinn climbed onto my lap. I changed the channel from the news to Doc McStuffins. Quinn was obsessed with that show. Quinn sat on my lap and watched Doc McStuffins while holding her very own stuffed Chilly, a character on the show. She giggled at all the jokes that were made. Quinn is four, so she had a basic understanding of what was going on.
"Quinn, turn the tv off, it's time for dinner," Caitlin called out, setting the tray of baked ziti on the table.
Quinn hopped off of my lap and ran towards the dining room table, holding Chilly. I turned the tv off and followed her. I walked into the dining room to see Quinn climbing onto her chair. I walked over to her a lifted her up onto her chair. Caitlin brought over Quinn's favorite sippy cup. I served a small amount of baked ziti on Quinn's plate and a very large amount on my plate. Caitlin sat down and got herself a spoonful or two of baked ziti.
"Daddy, did you and mommy catch any bad guys today?" Quinn asked with her mouth full.
"Sweetie, chew before you talk," Caitlin said.
"Yes, we did!" I said.
Quinn knows I'm the Flash. She has speed just like me, but she doesn't know it yet. Quinn has strawberry blonde hair and looks a lot like Caitlin, but has my green eyes. We aren't sure yet if she'll have ice powers like her mom, but we kind of figured she will since her blood work shows she has speed.
"Are you excited for Aunt Iris and Grandpa to come over?" Caitlin asked Quinn.
Quinn nodded while chewing the last bit of her baked ziti. When she finished her plate, she brought it to the kitchen and went back into the living room to watch Doc McStuffins. Caitlin and I finished the last bit of our dinner and cleaned up the table. Caitlin went to watch Doc McSuffins with Quinn while I cleaned up Quinn's room a little bit before Iris and Joe came over.
In the middle of cleaning up Quinn's doll house, the doorbell rang. I walked out of Quinn's room and answered the door. Iris and Joe were here. Quinn's birthday is during the week, but she has pre-school so we decided to have a little family celebration tonight. Quinn came running to the door and hugged Iris and Joe. They came in and sat down. Quinn wanted to open presents before cake, so that's what we did. Iris got her a Barbie swimming pool, along with a Barbie Jeep. Quinn was obsessed with dolls, so she was very happy. Joe got her a look a like American Girl doll with a matching pajama set. Quinn was fascinated by the look a like and named her Quinn 2.
After a while of playing with her new toys, we started to light the candles on her birthday cake. Quinn sat down on her chair at the table along with Joe, Iris, and Caitlin. I brought put the cake and we all sang happy birthday to her. She sang along with us and blew out the candles when we had finished the song. I was almost positive she wished for more Barbies, but who knows. We ate cake. Quinn isn;t a messy person like most 4-year-olds, she will have an almost clean face after eating even the messiest of foods. We all had a good time eating cake.
I tucked Quinn into bed and sang her to sleep. She was fast asleep. I said goodbye to Iris and Joe. Caitlin was already getting ready for bed as I cleaned up the table and Quinn's new presents. When Caitlin was ready for bed I put on sweatpants and a t-shirt, just like her and crawled into bed beside her, thankful for how my life turned out.
