    Barry looked around his cell. Four weeks. He had spent four weeks in this cell. Two weeks since he had last held Caitlin. Two weeks since he had last kissed her. He needed to. It was driving him insane. He needed to get out of here. He must. But he didn't know how. He didn't have his speed. He knew Caitlin was working on it but... He couldn't take much more.

Meanwhile Caitlin was disturbed from her ' research ' by a certain blonde woman making her way to the entrance of the Hall of Justice.

FELICITY: "Out of my way! I have to see my little niece!"

Caitlin heard her shouting and decided to have a look. A doctor certainly wouldn't be unwelcome by the mother, after all. She walked out into the main area to see four people. Oliver. Felicity. Thea. And one small baby. Caitlin quietly approached the four and as she walked up she could hear their conversation from a mile away.

FELICITY: "Hey Sis'"

THEA: "Hey Sis'"

FELICITY: "She's sooo cute! Have you decided what to name her yet? Or is it untitled little miss Harper? On the subject of Harper... how are you and Roy doing?"

THEA: "She's called Mia. Mia Laurel Harper. Or at least she will be soon. Because children take the mother's last name don't they?"

FELICITY: "Wait... do you mean..?"

THEA: "Yes, we're engaged."

Felicity's exited squeal could probably be heard in Central City. That's how loud it was. Caitlin smiled sadly. Relationships... she's loved two people - one of them's dead and the other is in a cell so... not her strong point.

THEA: "Hey Caitlin."

CAITLIN: "Hey Thea. Do you mind if I?"

THEA: "Not at all!"

Thea carefully handed Mia over to Caitlin, who received her carefully. Caitlin held the child carefully, checking it's health whilst just admiring it. What she would give for in the future her to be holding her and Barry's child...

CAITLIN: "She's beautiful... And perfectly healthy too. What, I'm a doctor- of course I'll make sure your baby is healthy!"

The four chuckled and Caitlin passed Mia to Felicity, who had been wanting to hold her for a while.

THEA: "Thanks Caitlin. I know I've had descent appointments and everything but it's always reassuring to be told your baby is healthy. Especially by a friend you trust more than them."

CAITLIN: "No problem Thea. None at all."

The three women were smiling happily. But soon Caitlin's smile turned into more of a sad smile. She could have all of this. If only she could get Barry out of there...

THEA: "Hey Caitlin are you alright?"

Caitlin internally smirked. Thea's already got mother's intuition. But the sad smile remained.

CAITLIN: "Yeah I'm fine..."

Thea eyed her suspiciously but left it alone... for now. Caitlin got a ring on her earpiece she had in. She'd connected it to Gideon so she could give her the results of her test when she was talking to someone else. She tapped it.

GIDEON: "It's worked Dr Snow. Perfectly."

Caitlin's smile morphed into a happy one. They could get out if here!
She suddenly ran off to her lab, excited and grabbed the vial with the necessary liquid in and ran to the cell.

Barry was sat on the floor, just sort of splayed around. His hair is messed up beyond repair. His face set as a sad smile. He watched Caitlin hold the baby... What he would give to see her hold their baby... What he would give to hold her... He can't keep going. He needs her... so much. Yet every time he sees her is through a pane of glass. So close... yet so far. He's on the edge if going insane. He starts to hold the sides of his head in a hope that he'll stop thinking these things.
