Caitlin pov
As I was walking out of S.T.A.R labs I left soft grab my wrist.
"Mom?" Dawn asked softly turning me to face me
"I'm sorry kiddo, maybe give her some time so you two can chitchat" Killer Frost said rubbing Dawn's shoulder in reassurance.
"Is she really mad at me?" Dawn asked.
"No she's not. She just doesn't know how to feel right now. It's been a long day" Killer Frost answered
I'm glad Frost was trying not to hurt Dawn's feelings. It shows that she cares about her and she doesn't really care about a lot of people.
"Tell her that I'm sorry. I know it's a lot take in. I didn't want to mess with the timeline" she said gripping Frost's.
"I'm sure she knows that Dawn don't worry" she smiled sweetly.
"Thank you Frosty" she smiled giving her a hug.
"Anytime kid" she said patting her back awkwardly not being used to the show of affection.
*************
5 days later....
I haven't been back to S.T.A.R labs. I can't bring myself to go back specially after all the rude things I said to Barry.
Dawn dropped Mrs.Raymond off at my house and she has been staying with me for 3 days now.
"Good morning sweetheart" Martha beamed as I watched into my kitchen.

"Good morning" I said softly.
"I made breakfast" she said handing me a plate filled with pancakes, bacon, eggs and a bowl of fruits.
"Thank you" I said not really having much of an appetite.
"Are you still beating yourself up over that Barry kid?" She asked.
"No Martha. I'm just worried about you. You tried to kill yourself" I said heartbroken.
"Please lets not talk about that right at this moment. It's too early" she said waving a dismissive hand.
"I've tried to talk to you for 3 days and keep avoiding it. We need to get you help Martha. I will not let what happened five days ago to happen EVER again" I said sternly.
"I'm sorry it won't happen again I promise" she reassured.
"A promise won't be good enough this time Martha. Ronnie would've wanted me to take care of you and that's exactly why I'm doing. I already booked an appointment with a good friend of mine. She's a psychiatrist
She's really sweet. You will be staying with me while you undergo the treatment so that I can keep a close eye on you" I stated leaving her no room for argument
"Caitlin I don't want to be a burden" she whispered softly
"You're not and I'm sure the both of us can use the company" I said softly squeezing her hand to comfort her.
"Alright. Fine. I'll go to the sessions" she agreed.
"Thank you. We can go pick up your stuff later today so you can move in with me, okay?" I said.
"Sounds perfect" she smiled.
The sound of my doorbell stop our conversation
"I'll get it" I said walking towards my front door. As I opened the door, my eyes met Dawn's.
"Hi" she said shyly.
"Hi" I said looking away from her. I couldn't help but feel odd knowing she's MY daughter.
"I just wanted to check in and make sure you were okay. You've been gone for 5 days" she said shifting uncomfortably.
"I know I just–I needed space" I explain.
"I understand. We're all just worried" she explained.
"Umm-you-you wanna come in?" I asked.
"Sure" she said as I stepped aside and let her in.
"We're having breakfast if you wanna join us" I mentioned.
"Oh thank you. I'm actually hungry" she giggled.
"Hello Dawn" Martha greeted.
"Hi Martha. How are you feeling?" She asked giving her a hug.
"Much better honey thank you" she said hugging her back.
The three of us had a comfortable conversation while eating. After finishing breakfast Martha excused herself, saying she was going to get ready so we could head to her house
"Okay can we address the elephant in the room?" I shifted nervously meeting her eyes for the first since she's walked in.
"Please, I would really love that" she said offering a small smile.
"I-I don't even know where to start?" I said shaking my head.
"I know it's a lot to take in and it all most be overwhelming, specially since you and dad aren't together in this timeline, and now here you have a daughter and it must all be weird" She ranted which like I do when I'm nervous.
"Okay take a deep breath Dawn. I can barely even believe I have a daughter. I never thought I would have a kid and now seeing you, it makes me so happy!" I said grabbing her hand.
"Actually you have kids" she said scrunching her face waiting for my reaction.
"As in more than one?" I asked stunned.
"Yeah umm-you remember the brother that I told Dad and Iris about?" She asked.
"Yessss" I emphasized.
"He is my brother and your son" she explained.
I tried to say something but the words got stuck in my throat.
"Mom?" She asked.
"I have TWO kids with...?" I asked not being able to say his name.
"With dad?" She asked.
I nodded my head not saying anything.
"Yes. It's me and Henry" she replied.
"Henry? That's your brother's name?" I asked smiling at her.
"Yes it's Henry Ron Allen" she smiled.
"Ron?" I asked puzzled.
"I guess now I know why you guys chose that for his middle name" I said nodding her head upstairs where Martha was currently staying in.
"Ron for Ronnie" I whispered softly and smiling.
"I didn't know you were married in the past" She said.
"That's why you freaked out when I told you about Ronnie" I said quietly.
"Well yeah! It's always been just you and Dad" she said truthfully.
"Dawn please stop spoiling the future." I groaned covering my ears just realizing that Barry and I get married.
"Oh my gosh I'm sorry I'm sorry. I keep forgetting you're not future mom. You age pretty well you know" she winked.
"Really? Thank you" I blushed touching my face.
"Fingers-cross and I age just like you, you literally look the same Mom" she complimented.
"Dawn we can't tell your dad that I'm your mother. It could really mess up with the timeline" I said seriously.
"Nora coming here is messing with the timeline. It could completely change you and Dad's future mom, that's why I came back. I don't have any desire of disappearing from existence over Nora's mistake. Gosh I swear she is so impulsive" She huffed in annoyance.
"Nora didn't stand a chance, both Barry and Iris are impulsive" I said chuckling.
"I've noticed, you should see Auntie Iris as a report, it's frightening" she said shaking her head.
"I'm sure" I laughed.
"You called her auntie Iris? Does that mean that we don't hate each other in the future?" I asked.
"Oh no! We're are one big and happy family! She remarried 2 years after Nora was born" she explained.
"Well at least that's good news" I sighed.
"Nora came back to a time where both her parents were together. I guess she just wanted to know what it was like to have both of her parents living together. I don't know, like I said she's impulsive and very dense sometimes" she said rubbing her temples.
"So you think her coming back will prevent your dad and I from...you know" I said stuttering the last bit of my sentence.
"Keep you and dad from having a future together? Mom you gotta stop feeling embarrassed about you and dad getting together, I doubt it's the craziest thing you've heard" She rolled her eyes enjoying my suffering.
"You're right. The craziest thing I've heard is having a DAUGHTER WITH BARRY" I exclaimed lifting my hands up in the air.
"Okay touché " she laughed and I shook my head.
"Don't make fun of me this is serious" I glared at her.
"Sorry sorry, it's just seeing you so uncomfortable talking about Dad is rare. Scratch rare I've never seen it" She said laughing.
I felt my cheeks heating up and look away from her.
"You're blushing that's so cute" she chuckled.
"Stop it Dawn" I pointed a finger at her.
"What! I can't help it, I'm currently watching my parents young love sorry unfold before my very eyes. It's quite comical." She grinned.
"Dawn" I warned throwing daggers at her with my intense stare.
"Okay okay I'll stop" she laughed.
"So what are we gonna do?" Dawn asked me.
"I don't know. I'm not from the future, you are!" I said.
"Well so far no changes have been made to the timeline" she said checking a device on her watch.
"Is that Gideon?" I asked looking at the device.
"Yep!" She beamed.
"So we will keep this between us for now okay no telling Barry!" I said looking at her.
"You know how weird it is to hide this from my own parents" she rolled her eyes.
"I'm sorry Dawn" I said rubbing her hands comforting.
"At least you know! I've been dying to tell you the moment I saw you! It has been the hardest thing, you know how many times I almost slipped and blurted it out in front of Auntie Iris?" She said.
"You cannot tell Iris!" I said my heart skipping a beat.
"Of course not! If I tell her she might file for divorce and Nora will never be born. I will not let that happen" she said determined.
"You and Nora are close huh?" I asked looking at her.
"She's my best friend and I love her" he smiled.
"I'm glad you guys get along" I smiled at her.
"She's my sister mom how could I not?" She said.
"Well daughter thank you" I said looking at her eyes
"For what?" She asked puzzled.
"For giving me hope" I said pulling her into my arms.
"I've missed you" she whispered against my hair.
I hugged her tighter.
