"Wow. So you're really going to give up your speed?" Oliver asked Barry. The two of them were out in the backyard talking while the girls were in the kitchen getting the celebratory dinner ready. Barry smiled. "Yes I am. It seems like the city has slowed down.. And with the breeches now closed, none of the other meta-humans can cross our earth. Or any other earth for that matter..."
Oliver smiled. "It sounds like you've done quite well Barry.." Barry nodded. "Do you think you'll ever retire being the arrow?" Barry asked. Oliver stayed quiet considering the question a few minutes. "There have been many times that I have considered it. But as long as there's criminals wandering the street of Star City, and as long as I can. I plan on doing just that." Barry smiled.
"Hey. Dinner's almost ready you two." Iris' voice came from the opened door. The two of them glanced up as they heard her voice. Barry smiled. "We'll be right there..." Iris smiled back giving him a small wink before she turned to leave back into the house. "I guess we better get inside..' Barry grinned. He opened the door walking in and making his way to the dining room as Oliver followed.
"You do too! Just admit it!" They heard William's voice coming from the living room. "No I don't!' Laurel glared at her step brother turning bright red. "Enough you two. What's going on?" Felicity said coming out from the kitchen as she heard her two kids argue. "Well. Laurel.." William began but stopped seeing Laurel's glare. "Nothing.." Laurel muttered. Felicity sighed. "Dinner's ready you two should get to the table..." Felicity walked over to a confused looking Oliver. "What's going on now?" He whispered as he stood close to Felicity. She gave a small shrug. "He's your son." She smirked.
"Can I sit here?" Laurel asked quietly shortly after Henry had sat down at his usual spot at the table. Henry glanced up and smiled as he saw Laurel. "Go ahead.." Laurel took a seat next to Henry ignoring William's smirk as she did so.
Once the food was all set in it's place, Iris glanced over at Barry and smiled. "Should we tell them?" She whispered. Barry gently placed his hand over hers and nodded. "Can I have your attention please?" Barry asked as he and Iris stood up and watched as the group turned their attention towards him and Iris. Barry cleared his throat a little before speaking again. "Iris and I... Are going to be having another baby.." Barry smirked over at iris as they could hear gasps of shock coming from everyone around the table. Suddenly he could feel him and Iris being surrounded by the group of people as each one of them took their turn congratulating and hugging them.
After most of the guests had left, Oliver and Felicity, well mainly Felicity, had decided that they should stay to help Iris and Barry clean up the mess from after the dinner. When the mess was all cleared, Felicity called for William and Laurel to come with them so they could get ready to leave. "Goodnight Henry.." Laurel smiled kissing his cheek before they left. Felicity and Oliver looked at their daugher a little surprised before ushering their two kids out of the house as Iris and Barry smirked, trying not to laugh at their son's expression. William smirked a little at Laurel as they made their way to the car. "I knew it!" He shouted making things worse for Laurel. Felicity gave William a glare as Laurel's face turned even more red.
"Are you sure this is what you really want? That this was a good decision?" Iris asked as they were sitting on the couch once everyone had left. Barry wrapped his arms around Iris. "Of course it is. The city is safe." Barry smiled pulling Iris close. "They don't need the flash around anymore. I meant what I said. I want to focus more on our family, and i'm home here, with you." He leaned forward giving iris a kiss on the forehead. "Besides. If the world should happen to be in trouble in the future, it's about time that the legacy is passed on to someone else." He said his direction turning upstairs to where their son was getting ready for bed. Iris smiled resting her head on Barry's shoulder. "And something tells me. If he's anything like his father, he is going to turn out pretty great."
