Iris' POV:
After Francine leaves I sit and think about Barry and I. I take out our photo album and look back on all the times we've shared. As I'm looking through the pictures my emotions go up and down. My stomach is in knots. Barry and I got together when we were seventeen, but we have already spent a lifetime together. Was I a fool to think that he would ever leave me? I didn't realize how long I was sitting there until Barry came in from work.
Barry's POV:
I come in the house from work and I see Iris looking through our photo album. I put my things down and go over and sit next to her.
Iris: Hi
Barry: Hi
We just stare at each other in silence for a few minutes. I don't know why, but I just feel the need to pull her in and kiss her and that's exactly what I do. To my surprise she doesn't pull back. She actually pulls me in closer to her. When we pull out of the kiss she rest her forehead on mine and holds my face as she starts to cry.
Iris: (crying) I'm sorry Bare. I'm sorry about all of this. I let my fear get the best of me and...
Barry: (confused) What fear?
She closes the photo album sits it on the table and turns to face me completely.
Iris: (crying) I was afraid that you were gonna one day realize that I'm not the one you want to be with and leave me for someone else. So I pushed you away before you had the chance to push me away.
Barry: Iris why would you ever think that?
Iris: (crying) I don't know, but I know I should've just told you how I was feeling and I'm sorry. (cries harder)
I pull Iris into me and hold her in my arms.
Barry: Iris I love you so much. I couldn't even think of leaving you for another woman. There isn't another woman on this planet that would ever make me as happy as you. There has never been another woman for me and there never will be. Yes you should've told me how you were feeling and we could've avoided this entire mess.
I sit her up so that we're looking at each other.
Barry: You're the only woman for me and I swear with everything in me that I'm not going anywhere. Do you believe that?
Iris: Yes.
Barry: Good. Now can I please have my wife back? I'm tired of not holding you at night and not waking up to you in the morning.
Iris: Me too.
We lean in and share the most passionate kiss we've ever shared.
Barry: The next time you're afraid please just talk to me.
Iris: I promise.
Barry: I love you.
Iris: I love you too.
Although I know there still something bothering her I choose to let it go for now and enjoy the moment. We spend the rest of the night wrapped in each other's arms.
*The next day*
Iris' POV:
I wake up wrapped in Barry's arms. This is the best feeling in the world. I got my husband back. I couldn't be happier, but there's still something bothering me. Barry and Cisco have a conference today so I text Caitlin and tell her to meet me at STAR Labs when the guy's leave. Barry wakes up and kisses the back of my shoulder.
Iris: Good morning.
Barry: Good morning.
Iris: What time are you leaving?
Barry: In an hour so I better get ready.
I roll over to face him.
Barry: Our anniversary is tomorrow.
Iris: Yup.
Barry: Do you wanna celebrate?
Iris: Do you wanna celebrate?
Barry: Yes.
Iris: Then we'll celebrate.
He leans in and kisses me.
Barry: What are you going to do today?
Iris: Hang with Caitlin.
Barry: Well have fun.
Iris: You too.
He gets out of bed to get ready.
*Two hours later*
I get to STAR Labs and Caitlin is already there waiting for me. I walk in and sit right across from her.
Caitlin: What's going on?
Iris: I think I'm pregnant... No I know that I'm pregnant I just need it to be confirmed.
Caitlin: Okay follow me. Let's get some blood work done.
-
We're just sitting in the lab waiting for the results and I'm getting really anxious
Iris: How much longer?
Caitlin: Oh I got the results twenty minutes ago. I was just enjoying watching you sweat.
Iris: (annoyed) CAITLIN!
Caitlin: Don't say my name in all caps.
Iris: Caitlin please.
Caitlin: Okay. You're not pregnant.
Iris: (shocked) Really?
Caitlin: No. You're totally pregnant, but that look on your face was priceless. Now lay back so I can do an ultrasound.
Iris: You play too damn much.
Caitlin: I know.
I lie back on the table and lift my shirt
Caitlin: Oh you have a little bump. Barry hasn't noticed that?
Iris: Nope.
Caitlin: Did you even notice it Iris?
Iris: Yes I did. I saw it for the first time about three weeks ago, but I was stressing and there was a lot going on.
Caitlin puts the gel on my stomach and begins the ultrasound. There it is the baby's heartbeat. She moves the wand and the baby's heartbeat changes. It's heart rate changed.
Caitlin: (shocked) Oh!
Iris: (worried) OH WHAT?!
Caitlin turns the screen and I'LL BE DAMNED!
A/N: * Until next time my dear Peaches... *
