(Public service announcement! Also I just found out what PSA means lol.. if you've commented on my chapter I have definitely read it and took it to heart. I don't always know how to word something so I just don't respond but I HAVE read all of the comments on this story and I appreciate every single one of you guys.)

Two days later...

Caitlin sat at the computer in the cortex. She didn't get much sleep last night since the reality was still sitting in on her. Barry and her were taking a 'break', Madeline was now known to the team as her daughter, and Lexi was in maximum security prison in the psychiatric ward.

She heard the gentle ding of the elevator and she stands up quickly.

"No- I'm not saying we have to start right away but I would like to have kids one day... or- or a kid..." it was Cisco.

"Maybe we could adopt one? Or get a surrogate?" Cisco groans loudly then Cynthia spoke over his complaints.

"Because of the life I lead it's dangerous for me to be pregnant on the job.. plus it's going to ruin the merchandise... do you want that Cisco?" He stops complaining then it went silent in the hallway causing Caitlin to gag silently.

The elevator dings again then she heard a disgusted groan " dude seriously?" Barry complains aloud.

She heard Cisco and Cynthia laugh and then the three of them entered the cortex.

Barry's smile faded almost instantly as he saw her, this much broke her heart but she tried to hide it.

"Morning!" Caitlin chirped then she lifts the coffee holder and Barry takes out his order. Cisco and Cynthia did the same, him taking his rightful seat at the computer.

"So I was thinking... since you and Cisco lost your powers..." she paused and Barry sat the coffee cup down, his eyes closing momentarily.

"I was thinking I could help you train for hand to hand fighting? You know, brush up a little and- and Wally could be interim flash until we figure out how to reverse it" she sounded extremely hopeful which made Barry give a small smile.

"Look, Cait..." he starts off but Cisco speaks up "count me in! That sounds awesome" he raised his hand for a high five and Cynthia lowers it gently.

"Caitlin.. I appreciate the gesture but I can train by myself and using a punching dummy..." he squeezed her shoulder gently then she furrows her brows "I can handle a punch... you know that right?"

"of course I know that" he walks around the computer table slowly "I'm just saying I'd rather train alone... "she looks him up and down for a moment then she nods "Cisco you ready?"

He grins and follows her out of the cortex. Cynthia looks to Barry suspiciously as he sipped his coffee.

"Trouble in paradise?" She questioned but he shook his head

"She lied to me... I just need some space to think of all the other things she could've lied about" Cynthia looks to the entrance of the cortex to make sure they had gone then she sighs "Barry... Caitlin is a good person... she's a genuine and extremely smart, loyal. plus she loves you"

Barry gave a small chuckle then he looks back to Cynthia

"I guess I'm trying to say you need to trust her.. on whatever she lied about I'm sure she had a good reason." Cynthia shrugs once then she leaves out the cortex leaving Barry in his thoughts.

"Again" Caitlin said as Cisco laid on the floor in a short sleeve shirt and some black joggers. "Can I have... an inhaler... first?" He pants out.

"Come on, knock me on the floor and we'll take a break" She nudged him with her foot then he goes to slap her leg but she pins his wrist down with her foot.

Cisco groans loudly then he sat up fully and lifts himself from the floor, he let his arms go into a slack boxing style then Caitlin punched at him and he dodged it and twisted her arm around so he could pull her behind him.

She grunts and then she formed a spear and pressed it into his side, her own hand gripping his shoulder

"dead, always keep you enemies in front of you and their hands occupied" killer frosts voice said then the ice spear melts and Caitlin sighed before letting him go.

She reset her stance but quickly lost focus as she heard Barry's voice "Mind if I have a go?" He was in some grey joggers and a star labs shirt.

Cisco nods quickly then he walks away from the training mat " I'm gonna go pick up lunch" Caitlin watched him leave then her eyes trailed back to Barry slowly " I thought you wanted space" she asked softly.

"You're still my girlfriend... and I still love you..." her heart warms instantly then he steps down so he's into the mat with her as well "but Cynthia made a point that I should trust you... so here I am... tell me everything" she looked at him taken aback.

" what do you mean?" He starts circling and she circles the opposite way slowly.

"Tell me your story.. don't leave any details out.." he rolls his sleeves up a small smirk coming to his face.

" um... okay... mom and dad were great until he disappeared when I was around eleven... mom became distant-" he lunged at her and she gasped before hopping out of the way with a heavy sigh "then..." she continued and he smiles again and put his hands back up.

"Everything with Christopher and Lexi happened-" he throws another punch and this time his hand grabs her shoulder spinning her around so she was held tightly against his chest.

She felt her breath being taken away as his heavy breathing passed her ear over and over. She looks down slowly feeling his chin against her neck then he lets her go and then he put his hands on his hips looking down.

"Uh.." Caitlin starts with a red face.

"Sorry, that was out of line..." he said then he starts for the door but she grabs his arm spinning him around "don't go..." he stares at her face then her lips.

She swallows thickly then he leaned down his lips roughly attaching to hers. She inhaled deeply through her nose, her hands finding a grip on his arms as she kissed back.

She parts her lips allowing his tongue to snake its way past into her hot mouth, she moans gently sending vibrations through his body.

The kiss went from exciting to frustrating in a matter of seconds.

Barry pulled back roughly with a muttered "fuck..." and he covered his lips.

Caitlin stood there her heart pounding in her chest and her cheeks flushed "what.. what happened?"

"Nothing.." he said plainly then he shakes his head again " let's just get back to training please" she licks her bottom lip, she tasted like his kisses...

"Okay..." she states, she needed more, lots more. But he wanted space.

"What's Madeline's middle name?" Barry asked and that DEFINITELY killed her hunger.

"Uh.. Eliza snow.." she pretended she was going to punch him but she yanks his leg off the ground causing him to fall backwards and he pulled her with him.

She landed atop his chest with a heavy groan then he looks up into her eyes again " um.." he said his memories flashing back all at once.

Their first night together, the cuddling, the sex of course.

He lightly rolls her off of him the he sat up taking a deep breath " I'm gonna go get some air.." he stood quickly and she closed her eyes silently.
