Woah... we're actually at the end of the fic... :O
Anyway, I HAVE ENJOYED WRITING THIS SO MUCH :D :D Of course, not as much as "Do You Think He Likes Me?" (which may be the story I'm proudest of... XD) - but its up there XD
If you all would like to know the name of my next Snowbarry/FlashFrost multi-chapter fic, stay tuned to the end! ;) And in the meantime... let's get to the last chapter :)
Immediately after Louise had been arrested, the trio had gone back to their hotel to grab their things. After that, they had arrived back into the lab from Minnesota, and Caitlin immediately took her father to the med-lab for examination and a checkup.
"Do you need any help?" Barry asked her gently.
"I think I'll be fine," Caitlin smiled. "But... I wouldn't turn down the company."
Barry nodded, and gestured for Cisco to follow them. The four then made their way to the med-lab, where Thomas was sat down on the gurney, and Caitlin began to examine him.
"Do you feel okay, Dr. Snow?" asked Barry.
"I probably need to rest for a bit... but other than that, yes, I feel good," Thomas said, smiling lightly as he turned to face his daughter. "I'm just so amazed at the woman you've become, Caity..."
Caitlin beamed with happiness. "You have no idea how much I've wanted to hear that..."
Barry couldn't help but feel... guilty when Caitlin said that. She didn't specify specifically that she wanted to hear it from her father.
Caitlin just wanted to be loved.
To be included...
And he had pushed her away. For so long... for too long.
When he got to have a moment with her, he would hug her until she told him to stop - and he could tell Caitlin just needed to be hugged.
However, if she didn't want to see him for some time after all this, he'd be perfectly okay with that.
"Caitlin, you never introduced me to your friends here," said Thomas, gesturing to Barry and Cisco.
"Oh! Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry!" Caitlin said immediately. "This is Cisco Ramon, my best friend... and this is my boyfriend, Barry Allen."
Barry's cheeks were immediately flushed with red, and he felt his knees buckle underneath him. Cisco, meanwhile, had a look of pride and amazement on his face, and Thomas was smirking.
"I take it that, judging from Mr. Ramon's reaction here, you haven't been dating long," said Thomas.
"We got together a few days ago," Barry sheepishly admitted, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly.
"How did I miss this?! We literally shared an apartment! For at least four days!" exclaimed Cisco.
"I'm just good at hiding things," Caitlin shrugged, smirking.
Barry couldn't take it anymore - he walked over to her, and hugged her. "I'm so sorry... I treated you so horribly before... I-I never meant to, I don't know what the hell I was thinking-"
"Barry, its in the past," Caitlin said, smiling an adorable heart-eyes smile. "Yes, you may not have treated me the best back then, but you've since made it up to me in so many more ways than I could name. Barry, I love you - I always have, and I always will. There's never a moment I'll deny that, ever. You and I are happy now, and we've gained so much... let's just enjoy it without letting the past ruin it, okay?"
"O-Okay," Barry nodded, smiling as Caitlin gently wiped his eyes, repeating the action with her own.
Thomas, meanwhile, was smiling. "That's my daughter there... she has such a way with words."
"She does indeed," Cisco nodded.
And of course Thomas approved of their relationship - Barry seemed like the perfect example of redemption, and fit for his daughter.
Of course, he'd have to get to know him more so to be completely content... but he didn't imagine that would be much of an issue.
Caitlin then kissed Barry's cheek, and turned back to check up on her dad. Cisco clapped Barry on the shoulder, giving him a smile and a thumbs up.
"So, Mr. Allen, tell me about yourself," said Thomas, easing back a bit.
"Dad," Caitlin said, giggling lightly at how high-school this scenario was. She loved it.
"No, Cait, its fine!" Barry chuckled. "Uh... well, for starters, I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for your daughter. She's the heart and soul of this team... I may wear the suit, but Cisco made that suit, and Cait keeps me in that suit. In a way, all three of us are the Flash."
"I see... I'm very intrigued to learn more about you, Barry," Thomas said. "I do hope we get to spend more time together in due time."
"Whenever you're okay with," smiled Barry.
"I have a feeling you'll like him a lot, dad," Caitlin smiled.
"I have a feeling you're right, honey," Thomas smiled. "I really do..."
"Hey, not to barge in on the moment... but I just realized something," Cisco said. "Louise was right."
"About what?" Caitlin asked.
"Frost isn't a killer - she's the opposite," said Cisco. "We need Louise to bear the killer part of the name... ooh, what could go in front of 'Frost' that's cool?"
"How about... Crystal Frost?" asked Barry.
"Dude, I was literally about to say that! Fine, joint effort, called it," Cisco said.
Barry laughed and took Caitlin's hand into his own. "Are you okay with that?"
"Absolutely," the doctor beamed. "I think Frost will love it too."
Thomas, meanwhile, looked at the three with pride and admiration - especially his daughter.
It was good to be home.
WOOOO! WE DID IT! WE GOT TO FIND THOMAS!
And now... this story's over... :( But fear not my friends! I have a new Snowbarry/FlashFrost story in the works! Its called...
"Frozen Over". It will be a hurt/comfort centered story that focuses on the relationship between Barry and Caitlin/Frost, and Nora as well! It will strengthen their bond like never before - I have a feeling y'all will love it :D
In the meantime, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING THIS STORY! I hope to see you in the next one! Peace out guys, love you all! :D
