IMAGINE: Lying about Commiting a Crime in Order to Save Barry

| IMAGINE for @niallforever15 |

You feel Cisco, your best friend, staring at your back as you prepare dinner for yourself and your twin sons, Mason and Tanner. Without turning around, you speak. "Is there a problem, Cisco?"

      "Y/N, there's something you need to know about Barry." Cisco states. You still and slowly turn around. Cisco is staring at you seriously. You swallow, your heart beating nervously.

     A little over a year ago, Barry and you had crushes on each other. You had a one night stand and your twin sons were the product of that. After you discovered you were pregnant, you fell off the face of the earth. With the help of Cisco, you disappeared and laid low for the past year. Barry doesn't know what happened to you and he doesn't know that he has two sons. You want to change that tonight. You called Cisco over so that he can babysit the boys while you step back into Barry's life and break the news to him.

     You clear your throat. "What is it, Cisco?"

     "Things have changed since you left Barry."

     You squint at him suspiciously. "What are you talking about? You have been giving me updates about his life ever since I disappeared. What have you been keeping from me?" You question, crossing your arms.

     Cisco coughs. "Barry...he...he has a girlfriend. He's dating Iris West."

     Your eyes widen. "What?! How long has this been going on for?" You gasp.

     "Uh...a couple of months." He hedges vaguely.

     "What! And you're just telling me this now?!" You whisper harshly in order to not wake the twins sleeping in the other room.

     "I didn't know how you were going to take it." Cisco holds his hands up in surrender.

     You pace the kitchen. "This ruins everything. How can I tell Barry he has two sons when he's in a relationship with Iris? That would destroy their relationship! I-I-I can't do that. Not to Barry and Iris. I just can't. I respect Barry to much than to bring this issue into his life while he's in a relationship." You breathe.

     Cisco grabs your arm. "Y/N, Barry deserves to know he's a father."

     "Yes, he does, but just not right now. Not when he's in a relationship. That wouldn't be fair to him or Iris." You say. Cisco shakes his head disapprovingly. "Come on, Cisco! What would you do if you were dating someone and an old flame came back into your life and dropped a twin baby bombshell on you? That's basically a reality TV show. No, I'm not bringing that into Barry's life. I'm just going to have to wait a little longer." You sigh.

     "All right, Y/N, you just do what you want, okay? It's your life." Cisco says, shrugging.

That night you still have Cisco watch Mason and Tanner. Cisco told you that Barry and Iris are going out on a date tonight. He gave you the address to the park they're going to. You don't want to intrude on them, but just watch them from afar. You need to see Barry again.

     You walk through the park, making sure your hood is pulled over your eyes. You keep your hands in your pockets, the weather turning cold. You're glad it's getting dark so early, which helps in disguising you.

     You hear Barry's laugh and stop walking. You spot them ahead of you sitting on a bench by a fountain. You sigh softly and move into the bushes. You creep towards them, the foliage concealing you. You kneel on the ground and look at Barry, who's smiling widely at Iris. A bittersweet feeling moves into your heart. He looks happy. Really happy. You remember when he used to look like that around you.
