Before You, We had No One

Our (Extremely Big) Easter Surprise

-Kara's POV-

After the madness of yesterday, we decided to have a quiet day at home today. We can sit around, watch movies, play with Bryn's new toys and eat all the food left over from the party.
That was the plan anyway.
On a normal day, Issac and I wake up around 7 in the morning. Bryn wakes up about half an hour to an hour afterwards, it's normally once she can smell breakfast which is often pancakes.
I have the kids and myself changed by 9 at the latest and then I wake up Mon-el and leave for work. Today ran very differently.
Isaac didn't wake up until half past 8 meaning I could sleep in for an hour and a half longer than usual.
Together, Bryn and I made chocolate Waffles for breakfast and they tasted amazing.
It is Easter Sunday so once Mon-El had woken up, we gave the kids an easter egg each but that was all we had planned for our Easter celebrations.
We bought Bryn a Thorntons butterfly chocolate egg and Issac a plain milk chocolate egg with a Peter Rabbit teddy that he cared more about then the chocolate itself.

Their arrival shocked us all. We were dressed and ready for the day but not quite awake. I was sat in the couch with Isaac cuddled in my arms as he dozed in and out of sleep and Mon-El struggle to pull Bryn's pink unicorn pyjama t-shirt over her head.
There was a slight knock on the door but at the time I couldn't hear it. They must have been knocking for 5 minutes before I finally got up to answer it.
From the minute I opened the door, our life became as hectic and uncontrolled as a hurricane. I hadn't even figured out who was at the door before every last one of them had entered my apartment.

______9:30am, Easter Day______

"Barry?" I ask as I stare at the familiar figure from behind the door.
"Hey, Kara, who is this?" Barry asks with a bright smile as he gestures towards the sleeping baby in my arms who miraculously didn't wake up when the volume increased.
"This is Isaac," I say as I invite Barry in, closing the door behind him.
Together we take a seat on the couch and we watch as people that I didn't know were here start appearing from different rooms of the apartment.
"Sorry for barging in on your what looked like a quiet morning. Cisco and Kaitlyn have been keeping in contact with Winn and he mentioned that you hadn't really planned anything for Easter and then they heard about your kids so we all wanted to come down and visit" Barry explains as we watch Mon-El chase after Bryn as she runs away in just a pair of pants because she doesn't want to get dressed yet.
"No, it's fine. How many people are actually here because I can't count them all when they are spread around my apartment like wildfire.
"Well there is me, Iris, Kaitlyn and Cisco for now while Ralf, Cecile and Harry are babysitting Star Labs so there are 4 of us for now but Oliver, Felicity and William should be joining us soon" Barry laughs as he watches my face drop.
"Mon-El, you can't dress her in a plain grey dress on Easter. Let me dress Bryn" Iris says as she walks into my bedroom from Bryn's room with a pile of clothes.
"Sure, go ahead," Mon-El says as he throws the dress on the bed and sits down next to me.
We don't even need to talk while we watch Iris get Bryn dressed. Bryn's face is all the entertainment we need. Iris keeps on putting her in t-shirts but then pulling them off again when they don't match and every time she does, Bryn makes a face like she is pleading one of us to save her.
Eventually, after 20 minutes Iris has finally finalized Bryn's outfit.
Bryn ran out of the bedroom as fast as she could showing off her very bizarre outfit, to say the least. Iris had dressed her in a black and white striped jumper with a gold sequin rabbit, a bright pink tutu, white leggings and her dark blue glittery high top trainers. It went together don't get me wrong but it isn't something I would dress her in.
"Right we have a lot of fun planned so we need to get going" Cisco announces loudly as he grabs his coat from the kitchen table.
"Where are we going first?" I ask as I grab the kids coats from the little pegs next to the door.
"The petting zoo!" Cisco yells as he guides us all out of my apartment and towards our cars.
"Kara you and your household can go in your car. Kaitlyn can go with you so that you arrive at the right place" Iris explains before she jumps into the backseat of their hire car.
"Let's go I guess" Mon-El laughs as we let Kaitlyn squeeze into the middle seat before we strap in both of the kids.
We set off a couple of minutes after the others but we get there 5 minutes earlier.
We must have missed the traffic.

The minute the other car arrives, our first adventure begins.
I don't think I have ever been to a petting zoo before but it sounds fun.
When we first enter the barn, all we can see is one pen after another after another full of animals of all different varieties like goats, rabbits, cows and in the very back are horses.
At first, we all stayed together but after a while, we separated because we all wanted to see different things.
Mon-El wore the carrier for Isaac which meant that I could kneel down with Bryn and play with all the animals.
She loved the rabbits and the lambs.
It was perfect. Her face lit up the minute her tiny hand came into contact with the little bit of wool they have on their back.
It made me so happy to see such joy on her face, and I know Mon-el felt the same way.
After seeing all the animals at different paces, we all came together and went to visit the horses.
Bryn made us dodge the adult horses because they were a bit too big for her and they freaked her out so we stayed back and fed hay to the little fouls. The farmer lets me sit her on a little black and white ponies back and she loved it.

Our next task was at the park. We were not told what it would be but when we got there, it was totally abandoned.

"Easter Egg Hunt!" Cisco yelled excitedly as he started passing everyone a little-multi coloured basket to put our eggs in.
Barry counted us all in and when he got to 5, we all set off trying to find as many eggs as we could.
They did a good job hiding them, I struggled at first but I found a lot under the slide and Barry even found one balanced at the top of the climbing frame. Bryn did really well and was very good at finding them. It did help she was good at squeezing into tiny places.
Very quickly it became a competition for the adults and we started to compete against each other.
Mon-el was doing it with Isaac asleep in his carrier so he had to go very slowly and couldn't dive for eggs like Cisco and Barry were but he got a few.
Once they were all found, we sat in the playhouses and counted up our eggs. We all did well but especially Bryn. She found the big golden Egg that Kaitlyn had hidden in the middle of a bush because no one else was small enough to reach it.

After playing at the park for a while longer, we all jumped back into our cars and headed back to my apartment but the surprises were not over yet.

When the elevator opened, there was a trail of Haribo sweets that led to our door and when we opened the door, the whole room was decorated with painted eggs and colourful streamers.
As we opened the door, Felicity and William jumped out from behind the island, all dressed in colourful clothes.
I helped Bryn follow the trail through the living room, my bedroom, the hallway and into her room where there was a big basket filled to the brim with eggs and other treats for her, Isaac and William.
Bryn ran out of the room holding her huge basket, almost falling over as she went to show Mon-el. Then she gave William and Isaac their baskets.
From the bathroom, I could hear a cough but I thought it was someone on the toilet, it wasn't until Oliver ran into the room dressed as an Easter Bunny that it started to click.
Bryn was terrified of Oliver but Isaac thought he was great and would giggle uncontrollably every time he walked past.
Iris did Egg Painting with everyone and then we all had lunch.
They had brought sandwiches made into the shape of eggs and chocolate Crispy cakes with mini eggs on top.
The afternoon was great.
The adults had a dance competition after lunch and it was funny watching Barry, Oliver and Mon-el try their hardest to beat the other 2 so he could be dance champion.

Altogether, it was the best and I know it wasn't easy travelling to where we live because we live on different earths but I am so grateful for all 6 of them. They made our Easter great. It will be something we will never forget, EVER!
