Unexpected Love

Chapter 31

At star labs

Caitlin rang her mother and asked her to come to star labs but Carla didn't know what was going to await her.

"Hello?" Carla said as she entered to cortex to find no one there.
"Hi mom" Caitlin said as she walked out of the larger med bay area and walked into the cortex.
"So what's up?"
"I need you to explain this" she said as she handed her mother the note that Natalie had brought with her "I don't have any memory of who Natalie is or how she even got here" Caitlin said folding her arms over her chest.
"I'm so sorry Caitlin you weren't supposed to find out until Natalie was 18 so I could tell you the truth" her mother said hanging her head.
"Why didn't you tell me? How do I not remember?" Caitlin asked.
"I wasn't brave enough to tell you what I had done and you don't remember because I wiped your memory because of the pain it caused you" her mother said hanging her head more "I'm so sorry Caitlin I had no other choice" she said as a tear fell from her cheek.
"Yes you did. You should have let me deal with my pain and lat me raise my child!" Caitlin shouted angrily at her mother.
"Cait is everything alright?" Barry said standing in the doorway with Natalie clutching his leg behind.
"I'm fine bare" she smiled at him "come here baby girl" Caitlin said addressing her daughter and holding out her arms. Natalie ran to her mother, Caitlin picked her up and rested her on her hip.
"So this is Natalie" Carla smiled at the little girl.
"Don't get used to seeing her because this is the last time you will see her" Caitlin said.
"Caitlin I'm sorry" her mother pleaded.
"I don't care. I missed out on my daughter's life because of you" she said through her teeth.
"I'm sorry" Carla said as she turned around and left the cortex.
"It'll be ok Cait" Barry said pulling her in for a hug, noticing tears welling in her eyes "it'll be ok" he said again hoping to comfort her.
