The Choice

Chapter 4

After Music Miester disappeared, we all looked at each other to think about what he wanted to say with what he said.

"Barry, what happened in your dream?" Harry asked curiously, though he was already suspicious.

"Basically the same thing that happens in my day-to-day life, the only differences being that Iris and I were not going to get married, she was with Eddie and I was going to marry you." Barry looked at me and showed a small smile.

"With me? With her? "Iris and I asked at the same time.

"Yes! In my "dream" you had married Eddie and after I had suffered with it, I became closer to Caitlin and I ended up asking her to marry me."

"That's why you were the only one who could help him get away, now it all makes sense," Cisco said.

"How?" Iris asked irritably.

"As the dream Barry was not with you, you could not help it! But she did" Harry explained, looking at me and Barry.

"Barry, can we talk?" Iris asked and they went into the hallway as I gaped at the revelation.

POV BARRY:

After waking up in the lab with my friends next to me and Iris and after Music Miester disappeared I went to talk to Iris in the hallway.

"Is everything okay?" I asked.

"I do not understand why he said that you are not really happy now, but in your dream, where you were with Caitlin, you were," said Iris in annoyance.

"We should not mind that, we all know he was not a good person!" Dont think about that, Iris... I love you!

- Are you sure you're happy with me? And you still want to marry me?

"Of course i am! You're the love of my life, Iris West."

A week has passed since the incident with Music Miester and things with Iris go well, but things with Caitlin are strange ... I know I love Iris, but inside me I wonder why he put me in a place where my future was with Caitlin. Today we were expected to have one more member on the Flash team, Cecile and Joe's baby.

"Barry, Joe called and is in the hospital with Cecile, it looks like the waters have broken down"- said Ralf, which is another human goal that works with us and works with me at CCPD.

"So we have to hurry, Iris is with Caitlin and Cisco at home to get things ready, I'm going to the Jitters to get some coffees and some cakes" he said hurriedly to Jitters, which was a cafe where me and my friends would always go for coffee.

Twenty minutes later, I was already at Joe's, because although I had speed I could not escape the lines in the cafe and almost everything was ready to receive the baby.

Five more minutes and everything was ready, we had pink ribbons strewn across the ceiling and up the stairs, the baby cake was on the table along with some food and baby stuff that we all bought together as a gift. Ralph was outside the house to look at us when they arrived.

"Guys, they're there," Ralph said, coming into the house and came to our side.

"Watch the step," Joe said as he opened the door.

"Surprise!" We said at the same time, not screaming because it might scare the baby.

"You guys, you didnt have to do all this," Cecile said, smiling, looking around the house.

"Of course we needed ... We have to welcome the new member of the Flash family." Caitlin smiled.

"Welcome home ..." Barry began, but then we realized we still did not know the baby's name.

"Jenna Marie West," Cecile continued, smiling and sat down on the couch with the girl. "Caitlin would not have been able to do it without your help!"

"It was nothing ... It was a pleasure to help." Caitlin smiled.

We were celebrating the arrival of the baby when we heard the door knock and went to see who it was. At the door was a boy who should be nineteen, not more than that. He had blond hair and blue eyes, he must have been more or less my measure and he was even like Caitlin, but how strange!

- Hello, sorry to interrupt but I really wanted to talk to you. - said the boy entering the house inside. - Wow! Beautiful house.

"I know you," Ralph said, thinking for a moment. "Did not you spill the coffee on me and Cisco?"

"Wait, I know this necklace," Cisco said, pointing to the boy's necklace that had a gel flap attached to a red ray.

"But who are you?" I asked curiously.

- My name is Thomas Henry Allen and I am your son who came from the future, I am in a mess and only you can help me .- replied the boy. We all did not know what to say so I did not even know what to think.

"Do you need a drink?" Cisco asked, but no one answered. "Just me?" It's ok!

"Uncle Cisco is always the same," said the boy, smiling.

"Our son?" Barry asked.

"Of the future?" Iris asked at the same time.

- Yes and no!

"What do you mean?" Iris asked, confused and unsure what to think.

"Yes, I am your son," he said turning to Barry, then turned to Iris. "But I am not your son, Aunt Iris.

"Auntie?" I and Iris asked at the same time.

"So who's your mother?" Iris asked a little annoyed that Barry had had a child with someone else.

"Do you really want to know?" Asked Thomas.

"Yes!" We all said at once.

"My mother is her," Thomas said, pointing at Caitlin as he smiled.

"Me?" Caitlin asked, confused and contented at the same time.

- Yes.

- Does not make sense.... We're going to get married and how can you be their son? "Iris asked in annoyance.

"I can not tell you how it happened, and why you're not my parents, but where I come from, you and my father never married, but my father and my mother.

"Yes, that's interesting," said Harry, smiling.

"And what are you doing with your life?" Cisco asked.

"I'm nineteen and I work at CCPD and give Star Labs a hand. I have two Phds in Bio-engenieer and Phisics." Thomas smiled.

- Wow! Smart as the mother. "Said Cisco, smiling.

"I want to believe but a lot of people have cheated us so many times, how do I know you're telling the truth?" Barry asked.

"We can always do a DNA test, of course, Henry!" Said Caitlin, smiling, and Henry nodded.
