Circle $C_1$ and $C_2$ each have radius $1$ , and the distance between their centers is $\frac{1}{2}$ . Circle $C_3$ is the largest circle internally tangent to both $C_1$ and $C_2$ . Circle $C_4$ is internally tangent to both $C_1$ and $C_2$ and externally tangent to $C_3$ . What is the radius of $C_4$ ?

[someone pls insert diagram]

$\textbf{(A) } \frac{1}{14} \qquad \textbf{(B) } \frac{1}{12} \qquad \textbf{(C) } \frac{1}{10} \qquad \textbf{(D) } \frac{3}{28} \qquad \textbf{(E) } \frac{1}{9}$
