Snowbarry Family

Well that happened

Caitlin's POV

I walk into S.T.A.R. Labs like its a normal day. I sit at my desk and start working on something. I feel my hair blown back Barry must be here. I turned around and saw 3 kids standing there all holding hands, they all had their hoods up so I couldn't see their faces, and I don't think they could see mine either. The tallest one was the first to speak.
"Are you Caitlin Snow?" The person asks, "I'll answer that question, but first who are you?" The shortest one stepped forward taking her hood off, she let her hair flow free, her auburn hair was in small waves next to her face, she had piercing emerald green eyes, "My name is Angela, I go by Andi by everyone. These are my siblings, my brother and my sister, now you know who one of us is, now are you Caitlin Snow?" She looks directly into my eyes with a cold glare, I almost shiver at the thought, "Yeah, I'm Dr. Snow. What can I do for you?" I ask politely, I was also trying to get them out of here before Cisco or Barry show up. "Okay good." The tall one takes off her hood, "we needed to make sure you were the right person our mother sent us to." I raise my eyebrow, "who might your mother be?" I ask, well if I'm going to have to help them, I need to know some stuff about them, "Well, we're from the future, and well our Mom, is pretty smart, and when we needed her help the most, she sends us to the past so we can fix what's going on, so she can help us." The middle child says softly, the person still hasn't taken off their hood, "I'm Athena, named after the goddess of wisdom, and look we really need your help." The tall one says, "What for?" I ask softly, "our little brother disappeared the other day, he just vanished without a trace. He was in his crib. I watched him fall asleep, then he slowly faded into nothingness." I'm confused, why would they need my help for that.
"I can tell you why we need your help." Andi looks at me, did that girl just read my mind, because I'm pretty sure that was my private thoughts and not out loud. "Yes, I read your thoughts, its my gift, now I'll tell you why, or more show you why we need your help." She pulls the hood off the middle kid, he has a jawline like mine, nose like Barry's, his lips aren't as thick as mine, more of Barry's. His eyes are brown, his hair is a darkish brown. He smiled at me, I'm pretty sure I could've just fainted, his smile was almost an exact replica of Barry's "Who are you?" I almost whisper out, "I'm EJ, at least that's what my mom calls me, my name is Edward. Edward Johnathan." ((A/N: Yeah I know EJ was in Breaking Dawn, but it has a purpose)) Edward, that's, thats my Father's name, Johnathan is my Grandfather's, either thats just a complete coincidence, or- "or future you and Dad, named him that, yeah." Andi cuts my thought off, "I'm Andi, thats EJ, and Athena." She smiles up at me, she can't be more than six or seven, "and-" she stops talking when EJ hits her arm, at that exact moment Cisco walks in.
'Talk about great timing. They were just about to tell me something.'  I say to myself in my mind, 'Did you forget I can read minds, that also means I can send you messages thought minds too. So back to what I was saying, and I'd like to say, Hello, from-' Of course she cuts off there, I mean why wouldn't she.

~ Memory sent from Andi to Caitlin ~

I open my eyes, I'm definitely not at S.T.A.R. Labs anymore. I look around until my eyes land on a person sitting on a chair, "Hello Caitlin. Andi is showing you this memory thought her telepathy. And your probably wondering who she is. Who Athena and EJ are, well they are there to help me, help you. Tell Barry you love him." The woman smiles, "Are you insane, he's in love with Iris, he'll probably just laugh at me." She chuckles, "You're probably telling me I'm insane, and that he loves Iris, well I can tell you one thing, if he loved Iris, would I be married to him, that would be a 'No.'" I look at that girl, "Who are you?" I ask, I'm so confused, I don't get this, why would Barry marry someone that wasn't Iris, "You've probably just asked who I was, well let's say I'm Dr. Allen. And yes Barry marries someone who isn't Iris. I'm you, 17 years into the future, Athena is our oldest, EJ is the second oldest, Andi is the third oldest and second youngest, and Joah, but everyone calls him Joey. He's the youngest. Athena is at this age, 15, EJ is 9, Andi is just turned 6 early this month, Joah is 3." I look at myself from the future, I don't age that bad, I don't look half bad, wait 17 years in the future, and Athena is 15, that means in two years I have Athena with Barry. "I don't even have the courage to tell Barry how I feel, how would you like me to tell him, so I don't screw up this future?" I look at myself shaking my head. "Just find the courage, in this timeline, I told him at Christmas, before he gets the shot to find Iris under the mistletoe, if that happens, and he does find her, slowly Athena, EJ and Andi will disappear, so you have to tell him before then. Well so long now, good bye Caitlin. Good luck." Those were the final words I heard from my-future self. I slowly start to feel my self go back into the real world.

Barry's POV
I get into S.T.A.R. Labs and see Caitlin asleep at her desk, Cisco working on my suit, and three kids, one of them was watching Caitlin like a hawk. Another one of them looked at me walking in, my heart skipped a beat, she looked like Caitlin, she had my hair, but Caitlin's smile, gosh her beautiful smile, my face shape, Caitlin's brown eyes, my nose. Who is this mystery person? Cisco turns from working, "ahh I see you've spotted our guests. And before you ask, Caitlin was asleep when I got here." He raises his hands, I go over to Caitlin shaking her, trying to wake her up, "Cait, you're at S.T.A.R. Labs, wake up. Its me Barry." The girl that looks like Caitlin and Me, taps my shoulder, "I wouldn't, she's not sleeping, my sister is showing her a memory. She should come to in about a minute." She steps back and the little girl blinks a couple of times and looks up, my breath hitches, god that girl could be Caitlin's twin, other than the fact that she has my eyes. "Barry?" I hear a soft voice whispering, Caitlin, her voice is sorta raspy, "yeah I'm here." I smile softly, she looks up at me rubbing her eyes, "Where's the kids?" She asks, "right behind you." The little one says softly, "Andi, EJ, Athena, what was that?" She asks pointing to the desk, referring to the sleep thingy, "Oh, my Mom, told Andi to show you that, she knew you'd be hesitant trusting us, so she made sure Andi showed you that, so you could trust us." I think the girl named Athena Says, "Athena, that was weird, at least now I believe you, anyway, for the time being, where the heck are you staying, there is not enough room at my apartment." Caitlin smiles, gosh that smile, I remember the first time she smiled after Ronnie, "who's Ronnie?" The little girl who I'm going to say is Andi, wait a minute, I was thinking about Ronnie, I didn't talk about him. "I can read minds." Andi quickly chirps out, great. "Andi, Ronnie is my fiancé, nope rewind that, my late husband." Caitlin says softly, Andi face fills with an Oh expression, "oh I'm sorry, mo- Caitlin." She slaps her hand over her mouth. She almost said Mom, or mommy, why the in the hell would would she be calling Caitlin that? Andi looks at me, before looking at Caitlin, "can I tell him?" Caitlin chuckles, "go a head, you might freak him out thought." She gets up heading into Med-bay, Cisco smiles, "I'm gonna go help Cait, see ya." He follows after Caitlin, Andi smiles at me, before staring at me, before I know it, I'm drifting off to sleep. The last thing I hear is the sound of heels on the floor running towards me and Caitlin yelling "Barry!"

~ Memory sent from Andi to Barry ~
"Barry look, its a boy. What should we name him?" A girl smiles down at the blue bundle in her arms, I smile softly to myself, thats me, but whose the girl, I can't see her face, "Athena, come here, what should we name your baby brother?" A little girl about 6 years old hops onto the bed, "I like Eddie." I smile, "How about Edward, your fathers name, Edward Johnathan. EJ for short." The other me smiles down at the girl, whose face I still can't see, "Barry I think thats wonderful, my Dad's and my grandfather's name. I love you so much." She looks up at the other me, I can't get that good of a face reading, "I love you too Cait, more than anything in this whole world, well besides Athena, and now EJ." Caitlin, thats the girl on the bed, what is this?

Before I know what's going on it flashes to a different thing.

"Hey me, I showed Andi the home video of me and Caitlin naming EJ, because I thought it was one of the most agonizing wait to find out the face of the woman on the hospital bed. My tip to you, is. Don't let love for one slip away, because you think you love another." I probably look so confused right now, what was the other me saying, "You're probably confused, but I'll less confuse you in a moment. I'm you, 17 years into the future. Athena is your, well our oldest daughter, EJ our oldest son, Andi our youngest daughter and Joah, or Joey as we call him, he's the youngest boy, and just the youngest. Athena is 15, EJ is 9, Andi is 6, and Joey is 3. Now back to unconfuse you, don't let the love you have for Caitlin slip away, because you think your in love with Iris. You love Iris, but not the way you love Caitlin, Iris you see as your best friend, your confidant. Someone who's always gonna be there for you. Dont let the love for another slip away. Good luck." That was the last thing I hear before I drift back to consciousness.
"Barry? You alright?" I hear Caitlin ask softly, I slowly get up realizing I'm in the Med-bay, "yeah, I'm fine, Andi just showed me the memory thing." I look up at Caitlin, wow, she looks nice today. 'Don't let the love for another slip away.' I smile watching Caitlin take the blood samples of each of the kids, one probably just to have, two to test them, three how Andi showed the memories.
