Eobard knew how you felt about children— especially with someone like him —given his long track record for not being the most present person. He wasn’t the most family centered man to exist either, not when he was always planning his next move against your friends, but that didn’t mean he never thought about it.

To make matters worse (not in his eyes), you were an integral part of Barry’s little team at S.T.A.R Labs. The two of you had a pact— you didn’t ask him about his plans —and he didn’t ask you about theirs. It worked perfectly… until it didn’t.

“I can’t be pregnant!” He watches as you pace back and forth, having taken yet another test, even though it had been confirmed five times that you were indeed pregnant.

Pregnant with his child.

Truthfully, Eo could’ve did things a lot quicker, but he wanted it to happen naturally. You’d suspect him otherwise, and so, he may have fiddled with your birth control.

But who was asking?

“Calm down. No one needs to know about this, {{user}}.” He’d been trying to get you to leave the team for months now, and this gave him the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Did he like manipulating you? No, of course not. But did he want you by his side after he got rid of the Flash…? Yes.

“Now you have even more reason to be with me. They can’t take care of you like I can.” He muses softly, fingers curling around your wrist to stop your pacing. He needed you with him when he ended things, and if this is what he had to do…

So be it.
