Mother....Christine had never thought she would hear that word used in reference to herself. Not after what had happened but hearing Barry say it? it was the most beautiful thing she'd heard. She rested a hand in his hair and smiled.
"You're incredibly amazing, Barry Allen," she said. "I don't feel like I tell you that enough. Also, I promise to try and get more rest. I'll find someone who's willing to learn how to handle whatever comes up over the next month or so. I'm going to be there for Pepper's baby though, I promised." She had been thinking a lot about this lately. "I know we're letting Arva raise the baby but I'm still going to take a little time after....I haven't stopped since I got here and I'd like to take some time for me...for us...I mean if you want to still be part of my life after this. I want you to be but...yeah." Christine knew what she wanted to say and had probably just bungled it but hopefully Barry would understand.
