Cisco Ramon

[goodviberations]

You've reached Cisco Ramon. I'm probably off saving the world or something equally exciting and/or inspirational, so leave me a message.

It's a date. I'll see you then.

[When Barry meets Cisco and the twins for lunch he's quick to greet the babies before kissing his fiance. He's smiling but a little subdued after breaking the news to a very rattled Leonard.]

Hey.

[goodviberations]

[Cisco returns the brief kiss, but his eyebrows are already furrowed. He knows Barry's smiles. Like there's a catalog in his head.]

Is everything okay?

[chosenbylightning]

Yeah, yeah I just.. I had to tell Leonard that he's the father of one of those children. [And they both know what kind of baggage the word father that can carry for a man like Snart.]

He's good with the twins, but he lets Mom spend the most time holding them.

[Cisco gapes at that. Leonard Snart, a father. He and Snart aren't exactly best friends, but Cisco knows him and his situation well enough to know that that couldn't have been easy news to get.]

Oh man. Is he okay?

[chosenbylightning]

You know how he is, plays it off like it's nothing while freaking out quietly.

[He takes Henry in his arms, sitting the baby in the crook of his arm to play with a little as they talk.] The other parent hasn't even been found yet.

[goodviberations]

I can't even imagine how hard that must have been to hear.

[He wonders what Snart will do. No doubt Nora would take the baby in without hesitation, but what about Snart? Had he ever even wanted to be a father? Probably not with Lewis as a role model.]

Is there anything we can do?

[chosenbylightning]

I really wish I could have told him something different. I don't know what he's going to do or even what he's going to tell Mom.

[A smile at the "we" because he's missed that. Barry reaches to squeeze his hand.] We can be there when he and Mom need us I think.

[goodviberations]

[Cisco squeezes his hand back, nodding in agreement.]

Anything they need. We'll be here.

[Because that's what family does. And while four years ago, the idea of Snart being family would have been absurd, New Dodge has a way of changing things. Sometimes even for the better.]
