Barry woke up to a nudge to his shoulder. The speedster hummed out, eyes still firmly shut. "Five more minutes, Cait." A small, child-like giggle then erupted next to him, and he instantly knew who had woken him up.

Smiling to himself, Barry opened his eyes only to enlarge them comically wide. "Caitlin, you've shrunk?!" he exclaimed dramatically, holding his little girl by the waist as he tickled her sides.

Little laughter bubbled in the air of his bedroom, bringing a broad smile to his face as he listened to her 4-year-old innocence. "No, Daddy," she told him in between laughs. "It's Nora," she proclaimed, her cute little face scrunching up in laughter in just the same manner as her mother's did.

"Ohhhhh," Barry let out, as if he just considered the possibility, though to be fair, his daughter really was the splitting image of his wife, especially at this age. "Well, what's my Nora Elizabeth doing up so early?" he questioned.

"It's CHRISTMAS!" she yelled, jumping up excitedly on his bed.

"And did Santa come?!" he asked, drumming up his voice to sound just as excited as her.

Nora eagerly nodded her head. "Yes! And he ate ALL of the cookies," she told him, mouth opened in shock. "He must have been REALLY hungry."

Barry chuckled, rubbing his belly subconsciously. They had left a lot of cookies out for 'Santa,' but it was nothing when it came to a speedster with high metabolism. "He must have really loved them," Barry told her.

"Can we open presents now?!" she asked, batting her little green eyes (the only things she seemed to physically inherit from Barry) at him. "Pleaseeee?"

"We have to wait for Mommy," he said, looking around, trying to look or hear for his wife. "Where is Mommy, Niz?"

"Bathroom," she told him simply, plopping down on the mattress.

Barry got up from his bed, helping his little girl down too. "How about I get Mommy, while you and Mendel wait by the tree, okay?" Nora happily nodded, immediately running down the stairs. "No opening any present yet though! Or Santa's not going to be happy," he yelled after her, chuckling at her enthusiasm.

The speedster then walked over to their master bathroom, easily opening the door. And there she was, sexily wrapped up in only a towel, brushing her teeth at the sink. Their eyes met in the mirror, both grinning.

"Good morning," Caitlin said through the reflection. "Nora wake you up?" she asked amusingly, before finishing up her teeth.

Barry came up behind her, wrapping his arms around his wife, chuckling into her neck. "Was that your doing?" he asked, smelling the lavender scent from her body wash still fresh on her skin as he placed kisses along her bare shoulder.

After rinsing her toothbrush, she turned into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck. "She wanted to wake up her Daddy," Caitlin told him softly, running her hands soothingly along the nap of his neck. "Where is she anyway?"

"Downstairs, waiting," Barry said distractingly, eyeing his wife endearingly before he couldn't wait any longer, kissing her delicately. "Mmm, minty fresh," he mused as they pulled away.

Caitlin chuckled. "I wish I could say the same," she teased. Barry playfully frowned, causing the bio-chemist to roll her eyes affectionately but give him another kiss. "Happy?" she asked.

He nodded, smiling against her lips, but his eyes lit with a little mischievous as his fingers trailed over the edges of her towel.

"No," Caitlin told him, batting at his hand, though her eyes showed reluctance. "Our daughter is waiting for us downstairs, most likely very impatiently, knowing who her father is," she said, eyeing her husband knowingly.

Barry pouted, but backed away from his wife's embrace. Staying any closer to her would be too tempting at this point.

Caitlin shook her head fondly, but smiled. "Later…" she whispered, her words like velvet, before exiting the bathroom to go back to their bedroom and get changed.

Quickly brushing his teeth, Barry then jogged downstairs, finding his daughter sitting in the living room by her presents.

"Daddy!" she running up into his arms when she saw him. "Where's Mommy?"

"She'll be down in a second, Niz," he told her, setting her back down on the ground. Mendel then came over to him, wagging his tail as he greeted his owner good morning. "Hey, buddy," he welcomed the dog, petting him absentmindedly as he waited for Caitlin.

"Did Santa get Mendel presents too?" Nora asked, standing by the dog. "Because he's been a very good doggie," she proclaimed, kissing the white husky on its head.

Barry laughed at how adorable the scene was. "Yup, Santa got something for Mendel too. But we'll open up his some other time."

A minute later, Caitlin entered the living room, donning a creamy sweater dress that made him just want to cuddle her close to him. She received much of the same greeting from Nora as he had once the little tike noticed that she had entered the room. "Can I open my presents now, Mommy?" she asked, bouncing up and down.

His personal physician brushed back her daughter's head affectionately. "Of course, baby, go ahead," she said, causing the young girl to squeal in delight as she picked up her first present.

Caitlin walked over to him, settling herself against him on the couch. He smiled at her contently, bending down to give her a peck. "Mmm, minty fresh," she said, causing him to laugh and give her another small kiss just because.

They then rested their heads against each other, both watching their daughter ripping through the wrapping paper and happily receiving clothes and toys.

"I think I'm done," Nora said, looking wide-eyed at Barry and Caitlin, a mountain of wrapping paper surrounding her on the floor.

The couple chuckled, nodding to each other. "I think there's one more, Niz," Barry said as he and Caitlin got up from the couch, making their way to the back porch.

The little girl followed her parents curiously. When she stepped outside, she immediately noticed the little tricycle on the deck, her whole face lighting up and glowing as she admired the baby blue bike with ribbons hanging off the handles. "Can I ride it?!" she asked, jumping up and down.

"Not yet," Caitlin said, dampening the little girl's spirits momentarily. "Wait until after breakfast. Okay, baby?"

The little girl perked up a little, smiling at her mother. "Okay, Mommy."

Caitlin leaned down, becoming eye-level with her daughter. "Now, what do you want for breakfast?"

Nora's face became animated again. "PANCAKES," she exclaimed. "Can I help? I want to make mine look like a snowman."

"Of course, Nora," Caitlin said, guiding her daughter back indoors.

Barry followed his two girls into the kitchen – Mendel trailing along too in hopes for scrapes. He watched them all from the entrance for a few moments, his heart swelling at the sight of his little family, unbelieving how his life had changed over the years – it all starting with Cait.

"You gonna help, hon?" Caitlin asked over her shoulder, noticing him in the doorway.

He smiled, walking over to his wife, laying a lingering kiss on her lips. He then reached down to pick up his little girl and kissed her delicately on the side of the head. "What do you need me to do?"
