They'd say yes, but like you'd actually be able to handle an entire week away from Dawn. [It's a nice thought, but Hal doubts either of them actually wants to spend an entire week away from their daughter. A few days would be nice, though. Hal leans in for another kiss, giving Barry's hips a little squeeze]
But either way, that means we get to give Dawn cake and then give her to her grandparents. It'll be nice to be on the other side of that one for once, too.
Alright, maybe a week is too long. [He laughs, because it's true, he'd have a hard time being away from their daughter for a full week. It's always hard when either of them have to go on a mission for that long or longer.]
Oh man, can you imagine? They get to deal with what we have to deal with after every bbq and birthday party.
[He's only too happy to return that kiss, and steal a few of his own, pressing in close.]
We won't have to try to get her to go to bed after too much sugar and too many things happening in a day.
[And won't that be the perfect wedding gift?
This is about when a little green projection of John flickers forward from Hal's ring. Apparently, Kyle passed along the message like he said he would]
Are you actually getting married or was Kyle messing with me?
Would Kyle do that?
Of the four of us he's the least likely to do that. You're actually getting married. You. Amazing. Never thought I'd hear that one.
Let's be real, Jay and Joan won't try to get her to go to bed after too much sugar, they'll let her stay up as a treat. [And he probably won't be too upset about that. They try to keep her on a schedule as much as possible, but so many unexpected things happen in their lives that sometimes, these sorts of deviations are fine.
At this point, John sends up a projection through Hal's ring, and Barry can't quite keep the grin off his face at his reaction.]
A miracle only you could pull off, Barry. Seriously, it was a surprise.
[Part of Hal feels like he should be insulted that everyone is so surprised by this news but...nah, he gets it. He might be a little surprised about it himself]
We're full of surprises.
You're telling me. Guy is still telling Kyle he's full of shit.
It was a surprise to me too. Not having to do paperwork wins out here. [Barry laughs, obviously teasing. Even their friends' and loved ones' surprised reactions are just kind of funny.]
Let Guy know that Kyle isn't full of shit, I guess, because it's happening. We've just got to pick a date and send out invitations.
The paperwork is what really decided it for me. Makes the whole thing actually worth it.
[He's teasing, too. The lack of romance really lives up to everyone's expectations, even though the people who actually know him know that he's just messing around. John laughs, shaking his head]
Yeah, I bet it does. Anyway, congrats, guys. Let me know when the wedding is, since you can't really mail an invitation to Oa.
[John says his goodbyes and the little construct projection disappears. As soon as he’s gone, Hal tugs Barry close again]
As much fun as I know you're having telling everyone we're getting married, I'm done with that for right now. How about we put the kid to bed a little early tonight?

We will. You better be on Earth for it.
