Barry and Iris were asleep when they heard little footsteps walk in.

"Daddy?" Nora asked poking his shoulder when she walked up to him. "Oh hi hunny." Barry said groggily just waking up. "I- I had a b-bad dream again." She wiped away tears in front of Barry. "Aww sweetie, I'll tuck you back in." Barry slowly got up to not wake Iris.

"What was your dream about?" Barry asked as he picked her up to walk back to her room. "You and Mommy died, and I couldn't save you." She said as she started crying again. "You know that's never going to happen, right Love?" Barry rocked her to make stop crying. Making a 1 year old go to sleep is harder than Nora- the 4 year old. "I hope it's not true." She sighed.

"How about I lay with you for a while, and then when you're a sleep I will let you be a big girl and sleep by yourself." Barry compromised. "But I don't want you to leave! What if the dream comes back?" She asked as they got into her bed. "I will stay until you're fast asleep." Barry pushed her hair out of her face. "Okay." She wiped away tears still.

"Here." Barry said as they snuggled into her little bed. She laid on top of Barry's arm that he put around her. "Goodnight Princess." Barry kissed her forehead. "Goodnight Daddy." She smiled and went to sleep.

Half way though her sleep, she woke up crying. "Nora, it's okay. I'm right here. Nora hunny, don't cry. Baby girl, it's okay," Barry whispered as he hugged her close and tangled his hands in her brown locks. "Daddy!" She yelled. "I thought you died!" She yelled crying.

Iris immediately woke up of the sound of her baby crying. "Hey? What's going on?" Iris asked as she walked into Nora's room. "She having a bad dreams again." Barry hushed her. "Oh no." Iris climbed into her bed and held her to go back to sleep.

"Baby it's okay. We got you, you're safe." You held onto her. "I know." She stopped crying a little. "Can you go back to sleep if we stay?" Iris asked. "Yeah." She sniffled.

"I feel so bad. I hate to see my baby girl cry like that." Barry sighed when Nora was fully asleep. "Aww I know you do. It makes me want to cry." Iris sighed. "She'll be okay." Barry hugged Nora. "Yeah, because she has the best father and mother in Central City!" Iris smiled. "That is true." Barry smiled.
