PART 2- Enjoy!
-------------------------------------------------
I had a lump in my throat. I knew I had to tell him, but I wasn't planing on telling him this early. I didn't even know how to tell him. I've thought about it, but I didn't think it would come so soon.
"You're causing a scene. I think we should go somewhere more private," I replied. I took Ezra's hand and lead him to the door. I told Barry to meet me at my house and we were off.
I felt nervous as I waited for him to arrive. I had Ezra go into his room so I could talk to Barry in private.
My anxiety went up as I heard a knock at the door. I shot up quickly and opened the door. I tried hard to hide the fact that I was nervous, but Barry could probably see through it.
I lead Barry to the couch and we began to talk. I could tell Barry was a mix of confused and angry and I didn't want to make it any worse, but I had to tell the truth.
"He called you mommy.....why? If he's your friend's kid then-.......you.........you......lied. He's your son.......But how? You've been single the whole time we split up.........and he's four so you would have had to be with someone directly after......but you weren't........"
"How do you know?" I shot back.
"Because I know you Chloe. I know you don't lie but you did. And I know you didn't see someone else. He's your son. And I know that for a fact."
Barry had figured it out. I had nothing else to loose so I gave in:
"I have to say this.....Barry....He's your son......" My head went down immediately and at the same time Barry jumped from his seat.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" Barry yelled. "Four years I could've taken care of him....helped you......done everything with him.......but you thought it would be easier to raise him on your own....huh?" Barry asked. He was angry now and I tried to calm him down.
"Look, I found out a week after we had broken up. I was already 1 month by then and I didn't want it to affect anything else in your life. You were happy with Iris and I didn't want to ruin that."
"BUT THAT'S MY SON.....He's mine...I could have made an exception. You knew how badly I've wanted a child and I had one and you didn't even tell me....." Barry said before he fell to the couch and started to cry.
"Think about my side. You didn't notice anything going on with me....I was sick.....all the time....I had so many things going wrong and you were so fed up with Iris that you didn't even see that. I raised him on my own for four years. It was tough, but I did it. Sorry I didn't want to wreck your relationship. Though we don't talk anymore and see each other, I still care for you. Though you broke my heart and left me, I still care for you.....you have to understand that. What I did was to try to make less trouble. You know how Iris would react when you found out you had a child with someone else."
".......I guess......you're right......I just was so angry you kept him away from me. I'm sorry for overreacting and i'm sorry I left you. I'm sorry I didn't see the signs. I'm sorry for this whole thing. It was my choice to leave, and the cost was our relationship. After it happened, we didn't talk to each other. We didn't see each other. We completely drifted apart and I'm sorry. We've been friends for so long and I lost the one relationship I loved the most. I'm sorry...." he said balling his eyes out. I leaned over to him and rubbed his back.
"Its okay....you know now and you can see him. He always asked about his dad. I told him he was a tall and handsome man with green eyes and dark brown hair. I told him he had the whitest, brightest smile and a killer smirk..." I found myself going on and on about Barry and came to terms with something. I still had feelings for Barry.....I still loved him.....but he was happy with Iris and I should just keep those feelings to myself.
I finished my rant about Barry and he looked at me. He gave me his smirk and I smiled. He leaned over and unexpectedly kissed me. I gave in and kissed him back. But I pulled away quickly after.
"Wait....what about Iris.....won't she-"
"We're actually not together anymore. We broke up a couple weeks ago. She wasn't the girl for me. The funny thing is I think I know who is."
"And who's that?" I asked.
"She's a girl my age. She has dark brown eyes and shoulder length dark hair that matches. She loves punk music....especially "Panic! At The Disco" She also likes tacos and puppies.....sound familiar?"
"Nope....." I replied before kissing Barry again. This time I didn't hesitate. I missed the feeling of his lips on mine and I savored the moment. We could both feel the tension rise between us and if it weren't for Ezra interrupting, who knows what would have happened.
"Mommy.......who is this?" Ezra asked. I stood up from the couch and Barry followed. We stood in front of him and knelt down.
"Honey, this is.....your dad...." I said. I expected a different reaction than what happened. Ezra jumped into Barry's arms and hugged him. I could see tears of joy fill Barry's eyes and tears of relief filled mine. I stood there admiring the scene in front of me. Ezra got out of the embrace and stood in front of Barry.
"What's your name?" Ezra asked.
"Barry....well....Bartholomew Henry Allen...." Barry said embarrassed.
"My name's not embarrassing. It's Ezra James Allen," he said. Ezra then put his hand on Barry's cheek. Barry shortly after took his hand and placed it on top of Ezra's.
They stood there for a few minutes talking until Ezra went back to play with his toys.
"Can we start again?" Barry asked me.
"You mean like the whole relationship because that goes WAY back..." I replied.
"No, Sarcastic Sally, I meant like this....us......" Barry said grabbing my hand.
"It's gonna take a little thinking......let me think....YES!" I replied. Barry picked me up and spun me around like he used to. He planted a sweet kiss on my lips before he smiled. I smiled back. We were all happy. And we were going to be a big happy family......
