Barry's pov: I helped Skylar up "are you ok?" I asked her "define ok, got kidnapped in the future to then be brought back to the past by my psycho cousin. But sure i'm fine" she said sarcastically "I'm sorry about how things happened the other day. I didn't want to get your hopes up about me and Caitlin but I could have just been honest" I said she just smiled.
"it's fine dad, I can't always have my way and I get that" she said "i'm going to tell you something but it has to be a secret" I said she grinned "what is it" she asked "Caitlin kissed me earlier" I said and she practically fainted "ok" she said trying to hold in her excitement. 
"you can't tell anyone" I said "I promise" she said.
"Christmas is in 3 days, so do you want to go last minute present shopping with me and your brother later today?" I asked her face lit up "sure!" she replied excited. "I'm going to finish this case I need to get in by tonight and we can get going" I said.

A few hours passed and me and Skylar ran to my apartment where Jackson was watching tv. "hey Jax" Skylar said Jackson saw Skylar there and he ran over and hugged her. "Jackson maybe let your sister breathe" I laughed. He let her go "I've only been gone for about 4 days Jax" she said "well are you ready so we can go shopping?" I asked he flashed in and back out "now I am" he said. "ok lets go. I'll race you two to the mall" I said and ran off them following close behind. When we got to the mall we stopped at the entrance, I took out my wallet and handed them each 200 dollars "spend your money wisely and buy a gift for everyone so no one feels left out" I said "who is everyone?" Jackson asked and I gave him the list "just buy something for everyone on this list. Now we will all meet up here in exactly 3 hours no longer because Joe invited us over and we can't be late" I said and handed them the list. They both nodded and walked off.

Skylar's pov: I had the money dad had given me but I also had my money i've made babysitting and working from the future so I had more than enough for gifts. "Sky what store are you headed off to first?" Jax asked "Tiffany's to buy jewelry for Iris and Caitlin" I said he raised his eyebrow 
"that store is expensive and you only have 200 dollars for everyone on the list including me and dad" he said "i'll manage" I shrugged, Jackson didn't know I intended on using my own money.
I headed to Tiffany and Co. I walked in and saw this beautiful silver bracelet with a snowflake surrounded in little diamonds I decided to get that for mom and looked around for something for Iris. I finally found a gold necklace with a heart and chose to get that for her. I also got matching friendship rings for Iris and Caitlin to have. My total at Tiffany's was 1,495 dollars so that was interesting...
I went to the lego store and bought a 3,000 piece Star Wars batter ship and got that for Cisco along with some hair products because he's obsessed with his hair, his total came out to almost 400 dollars. 
I had no idea what to get Joe. Dad always says how much he needs a new watch so I went to a place I saw sold watches since I never bought one before. I bought him a black watch with leather brown straps so Joe's total was 250 dollars.
Eddie... Eddie Thawne I legitimately had no Idea what so ever to buy him so I went onto dad. I bout him some black converse since his were old and worn out along with a charging phone case from apple for him since his phone is always dead. Dad's total was 190 dollars. Second to last was my brother his was easy I bought him black vans and a blue and white tie dye hoodie, his total was the cheapest at 100 dollars. 
Lastly was Eddie and since I didn't know much about him I bought him airpods which was a total of 190 dollars. So my grand total was 2,625 dollars!!! I defiantly went over my initial budget which was 2,000 dollars but I think it was worth it. 

I met up with my dad and my brother and they both had a ton of bags as well "how did your shopping experience go?" dad asked "great i had to use some of my own money to but some of the gifts but over all it was a fun experience" I said "how much of your own money did you spend Sky?" Jax asked me "don't worry about it" I winked at him dad laughed "what about you Jackson?" he asked "good I also spent some extra of my own money for a certain person's gift but I'm guessing not as much as Sky" he said. "ok well lets run these gifts to my apartment to can each put them in your room and we can head out to Joe's"dad said. 
we got back I put my gifts in my room and we left and had a wonderful dinner with Iris and Joe
