The Life He Doesn't Remember

part 9

"How is she going to heat the food up?" Barry asked.

"We have a kitchen it used to be the old break room but since everyone quit we just installed an oven and now we use it as a kitchen, well caitlin does I cant cook and doctor wells is... well in a wheel chair"

Cisco rocked cassie to try sooth her but she kept crying "Do you have any keys?" Cisco asked.

"Dude I don't even know if I own a house"

Cisco have him an apologetic look then carried on swaying cassie side to side.

"Can I try?" Barry asked.

Cisco looked hesertent but handed cassie over to barry.

Barry smiled down at the little baby and bounced her a little while rubbing her back she calmed down a little and wasn't crying as lound.

Barry sat down on one of the chairs next to the computers "Let's get this cote off you your probly too hot aren't you? it is very hot in here" barry said softly while unzipping her cote and gently pulling it off her small body and slinging it over the stroller.

He lifted her so she was against his shoulder and rubbed circles on her back her crying calmed down and eventually she stopped crying barry slowly moved her so she was cradled in his arms.

"Barry I think I've gone death" cisco said in disbelief.

Barry chuckled "she was just to hot but she's all better now" Barry said tickling her stomach making her giggle he lifted her up in the air but not that high and made a 'woosh' sound "its space baby cassie" he said bringing her back down making her laugh even more.

Cisco watched them in awe "your really good with her she's usually a really fussy baby I remeber when caitlin let Jo hold cassie and she started screaming" cisco laughed at thr memory

"Jo?"

"Yeah he visited you alot while you were in the coma and caitlin was always here and she couldn't leave cassie alone for 4 and a half months she's very maternal like that...so she brought Cassidy into STAR Labs, it's not like we have much to do just wait for you to wake up and Jo's known caitlin for a while so he asked to hold her and caitlin agreed Cassie however did not she screamed bloody murder"

Barry smiled down at the little girl who had decided sucking on his finger was a good idea "I wonder why I'm an exception to her' I don't like anyone but my mummy' rule"

Cisco just shrugged he hated lying to one of his best friends but he had no choice.

"I wonder if I have kids" barry muttered stroking cassies short hairs.

Cisco choked on his drink "wha-why-why would you think that?"

"Ok don't tell caitlin but when I was running yesterday I got a new memory it was blurry but I remember it I was laid on bed with a woman she was wearing my shirt and she had a bump it wasnt very big and she was asleep on her side and I remember feeling really happy I don't know what she looks like but I know she was pregnant and she had brown hair... that's why I ran into the water tanks the memory detracted me"

Cisco smiled softly "then let's just hope for your mystery womans sake you get your memories back... but why haven't you told caitlin?"

Barry shrugged "she's already got enough to do I don't want to add to that"

Cisco didn't reply just got back to work.

Cassie stirred while yawning and stretched her arms out "I think someones tired" barry mumered kissing her fore head.

Caitlin came back into the cortex with a pink plastic bowl and spoon "you got her to stop crying" she praised

"Not me, Barry" cisco said sounding impressed

Caitlin looked passed cisco and at barry who was cradling their daughter in his arms for the first time she looked like she was ready to fall asleep.

"Do you still want to feed her because I don't think she's up for that now" Barry said staring down at cassie.

"No its fine...do you want me to take her?"

Barry shook his head "we're fine"

"Ok I'm going to get some work done analizing your blood if you need anything I'm in the lab if she falls asleep and your arm dies there's a travel cot cisco knows where it is"

Barry nodded once caitlin disapeard to the lab and cisco went who knows where he noticed that cassie was asleep.

He dropped a kiss on her fore head and just watched her for a while he felt oddly at peace.
