Pairings: IrisxBarry
Summary: A week after Wally exposes the Flash's identity, Iris is left with trying to move forward without her husband. She can't take any more surprises.

They parted ways with Bruce outside the doctor's office in a generic hallway with several thank yous and smiles of 'see ya laters' before Wally and Iris proceeded home, the film from the sonogram still in Iris' hand.

Not long after getting home, "Do you want me to stay? I can show up tomorrow." Wally stated as he helped her sit down in the living room though she really didn't need the help. He was talking about the election that was taking part the rest of today and tomorrow. He planned on making appearances around town. Iris and him both agreed it would be best action to take.

Iris shook her head. "No, no. You go on. I'll be here when you get back." Wally seemed to weight her words mentally, then nodded before dashing upstairs to change. He came back down a minute later the cowl of his costume down but unmistakeably in the Flash costume she had altered to fit him. Iris knew that once Wally truly accepted his fate as the new Flash he'd get a proper suit made to fit him.

Wally stood beside her looking over her shoulder at the photo in her hands, she was staring at it again, then he leaned down kissed her cheek and said, "Just remember, we're all here for you."

And then he was gone, but he would be returning unlike Barry.

As Iris sat there staring at the embryos she couldn't help but think of her dead husband. How much being a father would have meant to him. How much he had wanted kids. How he had left her and the kids. How hard getting through the rest of the pregnancy would be. How hard raising these kids would be without him. What she would have to tell her kids when they grew up and asked why he wasn't around.

Yet, even as those words passed through her head, she knew the answer. When they would ask about their father, Iris knew how she would respond because it was the truth. Barry Allen was a great man. He was a hero, but more importantly he was caring and loving and truthful. A man you could trust. His love seemed never-ending. He loves these cities and he loves his family, and she has no doubt he loves his children most of all. And that love will never stop.

And just like that love, Iris knows she will never stop missing him either. He was her soul mate, her best friend, lover and husband. She misses him now, sitting on that couch looking at the photo of her soon-to-be children and has since he was taken from her, but as she sits there missing him she realizes something.

She might miss him but she will never lose him.

She has always had Wally - his protege - and now she also has his children. Two to be exact because she was having twins. As if simply having Barry's child wasn't amazing enough she was being blessed with two. Even if it meant so much more struggles, so much more hardships, it also meant twice as much love.

Even if the twins have powers - a thought that didn't scare nearly as much anymore - she knew she wasn't alone anymore. Wally was right. She had a lot of people here for her. She had seen it, felt it. She had Wally, her brother and sister, Emily and her husband, Joan, Jay, Hal, Alfred, Bruce, Dick...She knew she had support, she knew she had Barry's love even if he was gone. He loved - loves her, supports her and the babies.

Iris brought the picture to her lips, gently kissed each form and smiled. She'd get through this. Together, her and her children, would get through this because they weren't alone. They never had been.
