barry as a new dad
barry is sooooooooooo scared
honestly it almost outweighs his excitement
he’s ecstatic that you guys are having a kid, but the thought of something happening to your baby or him not being a good father or getting something wrong
the only thing that keeps him sane is looking at your big ol belly and feeling the lil babe kick under his hand
when the baby arrives, neither of you leave its side for a hot minute
staring at his child, his own literal creation, at the soft face and little kgghbuh noises
he feels his entire heart explode
he would go to hell and back for this kid
holding the babe in his arms feels like a wave of calm and love sweeping over him - it gives him the strength to do anything he has to do to make sure this is the safest and most loved kid in the multiverse
ANYWAY FLUFF
wants to buy soooo many clothes for the baby
(cisco’s present to you guys is a little flash suit ?? SEND ME)
barry just touches his nose to the baby’s forehead all the time
he has quick response time, but that doesn’t help in actually figuring out why the kid is bawling
side note, you literally haven’t had to get out of bed since birth
barry takes care of errrthing he acts as if you’re dying or something
100% talks to the baby
“alright lil babe, I'm gonna change this diaper, but only if you promise not to cry so that your mom can sleep, ‘cause she needs her sleep. can you do that? of course not, ‘cause you’re an infant”
feels kinda nervous and out of place when his kid isn’t in the same room as him
subconsciously makes the same faces as the baby when he’s looking at it - sticks his tongue out, widens his eyes, just…makes baby faces
SINGS ! TO THE GOTDAmN CHILD
super soft as if being louder than a murmur will hurt its ears
you bet your ass, coochie, and dick that he sings running home to you
also did i mention? he’s exhausted
never been so tired but blissfully happy in his life
you and his kid are all he sees ever at all
he is. always thinking about both of you. he can’t focus on other tasks
the baby is his life, more than he ever realized was capable
