When the Going Gets Tough

(alternative ending)

6 years later

"Barry it's not important I don't want her there anyway"

"Caitlin she's your mother she deserved to be invited to the wedding"

"No she doesn't can you rember when we invited her to the engagement party she said and I quote 'my jobs more important then your relationship and some silly party" Caitlin said trying to talk posh.

"Fine we won't invite her" barry mumbled.

Caitlin continued to scribble names on the wedding invites as did barry.

There was a knock on the door and barry frowned "We're not expecting anyone are we?"

Caitlin looked up at him eyebrows knitted together as she tried to think about who could possibly be at the door.

But the door was already being opened and mia came bursting in.

"What up big brother!" Barry rolled his eyes.

"Why are you here mia?"

The young girl looked at caitlin "you didn't tell him?"

"Oh, right I completely forgot sorry me and mia are going out to lunch she keeps complaining that we don't spend enough time together so I suggested lunch will you be ok to finish the invites?"

Barry nodded "sure go have fun mia don't get my fiancé in trouble"

"No promises!" Mia yelled as they walked out "ok oparation secrate wedding dress shopping is ago!" Mia yelled as she clipped her seat belt in place.

When they got to the wedding dress shop mia wondered off she showed back up a few minuets later with a tight fitting mermaid dress.

"I cant wear that"

"Sure you can it'll suite you"

"No I mean it won't fit"

Mia frowned "of course it will it's in your size"

"Mia the wedding is in 3 moths and in 3 months I will look like a a bloated wale"

Mia frowned "why would you-"

Caitlin gave her a look.

"Your pregnant!" Mia exsclaimed making some people look there way.

"Not so lound barry doesn't even know yet I was going to tell him tonight but untill then you have to remain quite"

Mia zipped her lips "not a word" then she squeeled "I'm going to be an aunt I get to buy little clothes"

Caitlin giggled "I'm gonna be mum...oh my God I'm going to have all these responsibilities I'm going to be responsible for another human life!" Caitlin panicked

"Calm down you'll be a great mother and I bet barry will be a amazing dad and of course I'll be an amazing aunt"

After 2 hours in the wedding dress shop they finally found one that would fit her in 3 months and would not make her bump to obvious.

When she got home she found the wedding invites finished and barry was chopping stuff ready for dinner later that night.

"Hey how was lunch with my sister?"

Caitlin shrugged "it was fine what are cooking and I thought It was my turn to cook"

Barry just shrugged "well I know you didn't feel well this morning so I thought I'd cook"

Caitlin smiled "and this is why I'm marrying you"

barry chuckled "is that the only reason" he said wiggling his eyebrows.

Caitlin hit his arm play fully

"Barry?"

"Yeah"

"What do you think we'll be doing 10 years from now?"

"We'll still be married we have 2 kids maybe 3 boys or girls I don't care wich we live in a friendly part of the city with a garden with a tyre swing in the back garden or something"

"That sounds nice you really want baby don't you?"

Barry smiled "of course I do I want everything with you even if I have to wait"

Caitlin bit her lip "you only have to wait 8 months"

Barry's stoped chopping thr vegetables and stared up at her "really your...we're going to have a baby?"

Caitlin nodded smiling like an idiot "yeah we are"

Barry pulled her into his arms "I love you so much"

"So you don't think it's to early?"

"Caitlin we've been together since we were 17 I think we've waited long enough...we're going to be parents to an actual real baby like a tiny person"

Caitlin giggled "I know I was the one who took all 6 pregnancy tests"

Ok that's the end but I really want to know what you thought about this story and did you learn something new?

And if you saw domestic abuse would you be able to identify it?
