[Narrator]The first two to wake up were Nora and Henry, but also Natalie and Kai, since they were sleeping in the living room on the pull out couch.
"Morning, Kai."
"Good morning, Natalie."
They took turns going to the bathroom and then joined Nora and Henry in the kitchen.
"Thank you for letting us come here for the holidays."
Nora gave them a smile. "It's not a problem. We're happy to have all of you here. Do you want some coffee, tea or hot chocolate?"
They both wanted coffee and Nora poured some in two mugs as everyone but Caitlin and Barry came down the stairs.
"Good morning everyone. There's tea, coffee and hot chocolate if any of you want something to drink."
They all thanked Nora and Henry for their generosity before grabbing mugs and filling it up. Meanwhile, Caitlin was in Barry's arms in his bed with her eyes wide open. Christmas Eve was tomorrow and Christmas was the day after and Barry still hadn't said anything about the kiss. She couldn't take it anymore. She got up out of his arms, not caring if he woke up. She got ready to go downstairs and just as she was about to open the door, she heard Barry call out to her.
"Where are you going?"
"Away from you."
Barry sat up suddenly and was confused. "What do you mean? What did I do?"
"You and Blaire kissed. I saw it, Barry. And the worst part is that I thought I was the only girl you were kissing. But I guess you found someone else."
"Cait-"
She walked out and Barry sighed. He was torn because he wanted to tell her but wanted to go on with his plan, which meant he had to wait. Caitlin stormed downstairs, grabbed her jacket and walked out, getting everyone's attention in the living room. Natalie got up, grabbed her coat and went after her sister as Jessica went up to Barry.
"Caitlin!"
She stopped and when Natalie caught up to her, she was concerned at the sight of her sister crying.
"Caitlin, what's wrong? What did he do?"
"He kissed someone else. I saw it."
Natalie's first reaction was to go back and slap Barry for hurting her sister, but then she saw Caitlin's face and decided to stay and comfort her. She brought her sister into an embrace and let her cry against her shoulder.
Meanwhile, Jessica was sitting in front of Barry in silence as Barry had his head in his hands.
"Why haven't you talked to her?"
