Keeping it together {Snowbarry}

Hold me close

The next morning...

Cisco drags his thumb gently across Amanda's cheek as she slept in his arms. He desperately wanted to talk about last night but he figured that wouldn't be the first thing on her mind.

He presses a careful kiss to her forehead then he sits up slowly and placed his face in his hands. He figures he would allow himself some time to think before he spoke to her about it.

His eyes landed on their scattered cloths... the knocked over lamp, victim to their heated session.

He closed his eyes momentarily allowing the pictures to flow.

A kiss on his neck. His collar bone, the center of his chest and then down his stomach. He leaned his head back moaning softly-

"Morning.." Amanda's soothing voice said behind him. He glanced down at her then he gave a small smile "hey.." his voice came a little more embarrassed than he had wanted.

"How- how do you feel?" She grins a little then she sits up slowly and touches his cheek with her hand "better than last night..." she leans in to kiss him but he clears his throat and looks down "Uh... about last night..."

She looks back and forth between his eyes, she clenched her jaw, bracing herself for 'this is a mistake' but was surprised by his response.

"What happened to you at Trevors house?" She let his cheek go and she hastily looks away from him. "Nothing. Don't worry about it."

"Amanda I-"

"Seriously, don't" She looks him in his eyes now and he bites his lip before nodding "I just wish you wouldn't have gone.. something bothered you and I want to help" he grasped her hand gently and she nods softly "please- just promise me, you'll stay away from him for now- it's for your own safety"

She nods again and hugs him gently, the position was awkward but he hugs back quietly.

Caitlin leaned against the counter, the phone to her ear as she waited for the hotel to pick up. She had been listening to crappy elevator music for a while now.

It finally clicks and a heavy sigh came through the phone Aruba beach vacation hotel, how may I be of assistance?"

"Hi, this is Caitlin snow. I stayed in your hotel a few months ago and I believe I left my medicine.." she slowly begins to pick at her fingernails.

The man sighs disinterested and he spoke again "what was the medicine? I'll look around"

She flushed embarrassed. She hated telling strangers her personal business especially this.

"Um.. never mind.." she hangs the phone up and then she exhaled deeply.

Caitlin leans her palms against the sink. She could always get another prescription for them. She was a doctor after all...

She was brought back into reality with her daughters voice "hey, mommy?"

She turns slowly to look at her child then she gave a weak smile "yes?" Madeline points to the front room and Caitlin walks to where she was pointing.

For a bit she didn't realize anything was wrong but she saw blonde hair asleep on the couch. Milo.

She gave an anxious sigh "mads honey, go get my phone and call auntie Amanda" Caitlin slowly sits down next to Milo and she rubs his head "you know you could've asked me for a blanket and some clothes right?"

The boy tiredly looks to her and he gave a smile "you seemed tired and I didn't wanna bother you" he sits up off the sofa and mads delivered the phone with pride.

"thank you sweet girl" she says while clicking the call button on Amanda's contact.

It rang for a few seconds before Amanda picks up with a heavy sigh "hello, Caitlin. What's so urgent that you're calling at seven am on a Saturday?"

Caitlin looks to Milo for a second then she shrugs "you neglected to mention you were leaving your son with me" she paused and Amanda whispers something to someone on the other end.

"Next time, let me know so I can set him a blanket up and make sure he showers"

"I'm not a little kid! I know when to shower"

Caitlin side eyes him then she nods a little "where did you even go last night?" Caitlin stands up and she leaves to the kitchen to make breakfast and have a more private conversation.

"Well.... I may have.... sort of... brought someone home..." Caitlin stops in her tracks then she continued and she opened the fridge door "I hope it wasn't Trevor...."

"No. Absolutely not. He's- he's out of the picture from now on" her voice sounded upset but shady.

"So What happened last night with him anyway? Didn't you go to see him?" Amanda gave an anxious smile and she look to Cisco "I'd rather tell you in person"

Without missing a beat Caitlin responds "alright, hurry" the guy she had brought home must still be there.
