The Choice

Chapter 9

After this mess with Iris, we decided to go back to work and so I went to the CCPD to meet Ralf as we had reports of some unfilled cases. I couldnt concentrate on the paperwork, I just thought about Caitlin, my son and Iris that is acting in a very surprising way negatively.

"What is it, Barry?" Ralph asked, realizing that today wasn't my day.

- It's Iris ... I know it must be complicated but she cant accept the fact that I have a child.

- You have to give her time ... She will one day realize that her attitude is being ridiculous and will be the same as it was before.

POV IRIS:

I cant believe Barry stayed on their side again! Heck he's supposed to be my fiancé and be by my side, especially after what he put me through when he left me to get into Speedforce.

"Iris, can we talk?" My father asked at the door of my office. I let him in because I'm sure he came to apologize for not having stayed by my side.

"You came to apologize, did not you?" You're excused, Papa. "I smiled and opened my arms to give him a hug.

- I did not come to apologize .... Did you really think that's why I'm here? Iris, what is happening with you? I dont even recognize you!

"Daddy, it's not fair that he is staying with her, knowing he's marrying me!"

"Honey, but he's not on anyone's side .... He has just discovered that he has a son and that his fiancée, who is the love of his life, neither supports nor accepts his boy.

"But why her?"

"I have no answer for that, my daughter, only the future can say it, but I know that with this attitude you are having, you are driving him away from you!" Exclaimed my father, leaving my office.

Four Weeks later....

After some time to think about it, I decided that I really was being very bad, both for Barry, and for Caitlin, and even more so for Thomas, who is not to blame for who his parents are.

I've already apologized to Barry and Caitlin and they have forgiven me. But there was one person who was not very convinced by my guilty accomplishment that was Harry Wells. If they ask me if the idea of ​​Caitlin having a child with Barry does not make me angry, they are deceived .... This leaves me furious, but it may be that with our marriage, the future will change ... No one ever said that the future cant be changed!

Each time I got closer to the date of my marriage to Barry and that made me anxious. I asked Felicity to be my maid of honor, and she accepted the request.

Thomas has spent some time here at home with Barry and I struggle to make a smile whenever they look at me, but I love Barry and for him I do everything. Today was the day Barry and I went to see the food and the wedding cake and so I was very happy. But something had to ruin my happiness, as always!

POV BARRY:

Four weeks had passed since the confusion with Iris and things nowadays were already returning to normal. Iris finally admitted that she was wrong and ended up apologizing.

The day of our wedding every day was closer but I do not know if that is a good thing ... At least I am not absolutely sure .... Do not get me wrong, I love Iris and marrying her has always been my dream since I was little, but the time I spent with Caitlin at her house together with Thomas was something special.

"Good morning Cisco," I said as he entered the lab, where Caitlin was already seated in his chair. "Good morning Caitlin!"

"Good morning, Barry," they said at the same time.

"Good morning, Father," said Thomas, entering the lab.

Today did not seem to be a day of great action, because we have very calm days before ... There have not been many attacks of goals and thank you for that.

"Oh good morning, Flash!" They said behind me, and I could not recognize that voice.

- Jay! What do you want? "He said, pushing Iris away from my edge.

"Nothing special, the custom ... Caitlin! How is it going? I hear you have a new friend!"

"Leave her alone, Jay!" I said and Jay laughed.

- Oh dear, defending your friend .... Oh and congratulations Flash for the engagement ... .But wait there we have new members in the team, yeah? - asked Jay pointing to Henry who was between Cisco and Caitlin.

- Do not mess with him!

"Hey! It must be very special for the boy to protect you that way. "Jay said to Henry.

"Didn't they tell you to get away from the kid?" Asked Caitlin, or rather Killer Frost. "I've heard a lot about you, but you've heard badly, it's the first time."

- I do not think we ever introduced ourselves, Killer Frost ... My name is Jay!

- I did not ask you anything .... Now get away from the kid! "As Killer Frost spoke to Jay, Henry was approaching Barry and Jay pinned a needle in her neck, which made her turn back into Caitlin.

- Dad! What's happening? "Asked Henry a little frightened. Although Henry was already of legal age and had his powers, the idea of ​​having Jay before him frightened him immensely, for he knew what he could do to get revenge on Barry.

"Dad?" Jay asked curiously. "Hmm. So you're Flah's son ... Interesting, "he said, moving closer and closer to Henry. I stood in front of him but he was stronger than me and managed to knock me down easily. I do not know what had happened, but Jay was not the same anymore ... He was stronger than I remembered and it made him even more dangerous.

Jay, after pulling Barry away from the wall, grabbed Thomas's neck and did not want to let go.

"Jay, please leave him ..." Caitlin said, begging Jay to let the kid go. "If you ever loved him, please give him away ... He's not to blame for being his son. Come on, I know you still have some humanity inside you!"

Jay after dropping Henry was running out of the lab taking Caitlin with him.
