Now that the Caitlin/Frost situation was dealt with, Barry was able to turn his attention towards his next big task. Asking Iris to marry him. Barry wanted everything to be perfect. One thing he was already planning on doing was serenading her again. And since he didn't want it to be public, in the end, he just decided to invite her over to dinner at his apartment and he'd propose to her there.

"I'd forgotten how much I love it when you cook for me." Iris said with a smile.

"Well, I'm sure I'll be doing it again a lot more often in the future." Barry said.

"Really, well I certainly wouldn't protest to that." Iris said with a smile as she finished eating.

"Good, because, Iris, there's something important I want to ask you." Barry said.

"Okay." Iris said, wondering if Barry was going to ask her to move in with him.

However, to her surprise, Barry pulled out his phone and began to play a song on it.

"Can't say how the days will unfold Can't change what the future may hold But I want you in it Every hour, every minute This world can race by Far too fast Hard to see While it's all flying past But it's clear now When you're standing here now I am meant to be Wherever you are next to me All I want to do Is come runnin' home to you Come runnin' home to you And all my life, I promise to Keep runnin' home to you Keep runnin' home to you And I could see it Right from the start, right from the start That you would be Be my light in the dark, light in the dark Oh, you gave me No other choice But to love you All I want to do Is come runnin' home to you Come runnin' home to you And all my life I promise to Keep runnin' home to you Keep runnin' home Home to you Can't say how the days will unfold Can't change what the future may hold But I want you in it Every hour, every minute." Barry sang to her and to Iris's shock, he got down on one knee and she covered her mouth with her hands as Barry pulled out a diamond ring.

"Iris Anne West, will you marry me?" Barry asked.

"Yes." Iris said immediately with a tearful grin, causing Barry to smile as he slid the ring on her finger and kissed her.

The next day, Barry and Iris decided that the first thing they needed to do was tell Joe, since while Barry had gotten Joe's blessing, he also knew that Joe would never forgive them if they told someone besides him.

"Hey baby girl. Not used to you having an escort home after your nights at Barry's." Joe said with a smile as he saw them enter the house.

"Well, there's something we needed to tell you." Iris said and Joe now had his suspicions.

"Okay, what is it?" Joe asked.

"We're engaged." Iris said joyfully as she held up her left hand to reveal her engagement ring.

"Congratulations." Joe said with a smile as he hugged them both.

"You don't seem that surprised." Iris noted.

"I went to Joe to get his blessing before I proposed." Barry explained and Iris nodded.

"Have you told anyone else yet?" Joe asked.

"No, you're the first person we've told." Barry assured him.

"Good. That's what I wanted to hear." Joe said.

"Barry, I meant to ask you last night, not that I'm not happy that you decided to propose because I am, but why did you?" Iris asked curiously.

"The entire time I was in a coma, you stood there by my side Iris. You could've moved on and found someone else, but you didn't you waited for me to wake up." Barry said and Iris smiled at him.

"Of course I did Barry. I would've waited for you no matter how long it took. I knew you'd come running home to me." Iris said with a smile.

"I'm sorry running home to you?" Joe asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's the song I serenaded Iris with last night when I proposed to her." Barry explained and Joe nodded, since while Barry knew he'd have to tell Joe that he was a meta soon, now wasn't the time.
