We're jumping back in for season 6...I can't believe we had an entire season without Jay

3 Months Ago…

"Jay, I need to go back for the summer," Carter announced as she walked into his lab to find him looking over some of his recent projects, "Barry and Iris lost their daughter to Eobard Thawne and they just need all hands-on-deck," she elaborated as he looked up from the blueprints on his table.

He stood and made his way over to her, placing his hands on her upper arms, "How long do you think you'll be gone? I don't want to long for you too much," he added in a teasing tone.

She leaned up and placed her lips to his, cupping his face within her hands, before pulling back, "Three or four months, at the most. WIll you be able to last that long without me? You can come visit me if you can manage to pull yourself away from your work," she added playfully.

Jay's lips curled into a smile bringing attention to his crows feet, "I believe I'll do just that," he replied, "How long do we have until you leave?" his eyes showed exactly what was on his mind.

Carter moved her lips to his ear and whispered, "Just enough time," before she bit his earlobe and moved her attention back to his lips as he lifted her onto the table behind them.

As they finished, Jay placed a gentle kiss on Carter's lips, "I'm really gonna miss you, kid."

"Are you ever going to stop calling me that?" she asked in return as she looked down and shook her head, "I'm gonna miss you too. Come visit me as often as possible, deal?"

"I won't be a stranger," he said softly, "You don't have to worry about that. Be safe, ok?"

She smiled warmly, "I always am. Same goes for you. I know you've hung your boots up but if you do go out there…"

He leaned down and kissed her once more, "You have nothing to worry about."

Current Time...

"Hey Frost!" Carter yelled as she walked into the Cortex almost four months to the day since she'd arrived. Jay hadn't visited nearly as much as she'd hoped and she was ready to get home. "Are you around?" she yelled.

Caitlin was letting Killer Frost drive for a while to live her own life and make her own memories. It took a little getting used to but the team was getting the hang of it.

Frost popped out from the lab, "I'm here. What's up? Is this going to be a Caity related request?"

Carter walked over to Frost, "No, you can totally help me but I'd like to keep this on the down-low if possible," she lowered her tone.

"On the down-low?" Frost replied, "I'm definitely in no matter what skills of Caity's I need to retrieve. Hit me," she stated ready to hear what Carter wanted.

Carter moved closer and changed her voice to almost a whisper, "I think I might be pregnant. Can you do a blood test or an ultrasound?"

Frost resisted the commentary floating around in her head and instead replied, "Let's start with a blood test and see where things go from there. Take a seat," she gestured.

Carter hopped onto the exam table and offered her arm so Frost could take a blood sample. After she drew the blood, Frost started running the data and asked, "Have you shared your suspicions with Jay?"

Carter hadn't really interacted with Frost much so she wasn't sure what level of detail was appropriate. She replied, "No, partly because I'm not ready to face it myself. But, we didn't get to see each other at all while I've been here and he's working on figuring out what's happening to his speed, so it just hasn't felt like there's been an appropriate time."

Frost turned back to face Carter, her expression giving away what she was about to say, "Well, you're going to have to find a time because you're twelve weeks pregnant. Congratulations!" she feigned excitement, unsure of the proper reaction.

Before Carter could form words or any kind of thought, Barry entered the cortex looking for her.

"Carter! I'm going to Earth 3 to see Jay, do you want to join me?" he asked once he saw her sitting with Frost.

"Here's your chance," Frost whispered before making herself scarce.

Carter couldn't stop herself from rolling her eyes before turning her attention to Barry. "Of course, I want to go," she agreed, "Are we leaving now?"

Barry nodded before opening a breach to take them to Earth 3.

Barry and Carter landed in Jay's lab but before Carter could enjoy a reunion, she noticed a woman working alongside Jay.

"Who's that?" Carter asked, feeling the jealousy flow through her veins while she attempted to suppress it.
