A month later after training hard with Oliver and Thea, Roy was showing a lot of progress as an archer. His fighting skills were also getting a lot better. He was not ready to go out on his own in the field yet, but he would be able to hold his own with someone else out there with him.

"So, am I ready to go out in the field with you guys yet?" Roy asked.

"You are ready to go out with someone else but not by yourself yet. Normally when we go out on patrol, we all split up so that we can cover the city. When you go out there now you will always be with someone else until we are sure you are ready to be on your own." Oliver said.

"Ok, but aren't you going out of town for a week tomorrow? How are Barbara and I going to be able to cover the whole city?" Roy asked.

"You're not. You will do what you can, and the police will have to handle the rest." Thea said.

"Ok, I can understand that. So, what's the special occasion?" Roy asked.

"We haven't had a vacation in a while, and we need sometime off." Oliver said.

"Sounds good. We will take care of things while you are gone." Roy said and he looked at Barbara who nodded.

"You two need to train as well so make sure you spar and do weapons training as well." Oliver said.

"We will dad." Barbara said sarcastically. "Now get out of here." The whole group laughed as they left the lair.

The next day Oliver, Laurel, Thea, and Sara were down on a private island that Oliver had rented for them to have to themselves for a week.

"Not that I mind the private island, but what is the occasion, really?" Thea asked.

"You will find out soon." Oliver said.

All of a sudden, in the distance they see a boat approaching them and Sara and Thea are wondering what is going on. "Why is that boat coming towards us?" Sara asked.

The boat got to the dock and some men tied it off and then a man got out of the boat and walked over to them. "Mr. Queen, is everything ready for us to proceed?" The man asked.

"Yes, it is. We are ready when you are." Oliver said.

"Very well, are these two your witnesses?" The man said.

"Yes, they are." Laurel said.

"Witnesses for what?" Thea asked.

"Well, you wanted to know what the occasion is for coming here. We decided a month ago that we didn't want a big wedding. We just wanted it to be the four of us. So, we are getting married today." Laurel said.

"Wow, this is a big surprise. I thought Oliver would have went for the big wedding because it is what people expected of him." Thea said.

"I would do what Laurel wanted and this is what she wanted." Oliver said.

"So, are we ready to begin?" The minister asked and Oliver and Laurel nodded.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join Oliver Queen and Dinah Lance in holy matrimony. If there is anyone here who believes these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your piece."

"Good. So, I am told you have your own vows." The minister said and they both nodded.

"Ok, Ms. Lance, you will go first." The minister said.

"Ollie, you are the love of my life. When the Gambit went down it was like a part of me died with you. When I heard that you and Thea were alive, I felt whole again. I just want you to know that without you I am nothing. So, from now own anything that might be dangerous we will do it together, because I don't think that I will be able to live without you again. I promise to always be there for you and to always love you until the day we die." Laurel said.

"Mr. Queen." The minister said.

"Laurel, you are also the love of my life. The whole time I was on that island, I was always thinking about getting home to you. Even when it looked like I might not make it, the thought of you is what kept me going. I will live the rest of my life letting you know how important you are to me. I know now that I would not be able to live without you, just like you said you wouldn't be able to live without me. I promise to love and be there for you for the rest of our lives." Oliver said.

"Ok, so now we will exchange the rings." The minister said.

Oliver put the ring on Laurel's left ring finger and Laurel did the same with Oliver.

"By the powers vest in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." The minister said.

Oliver and Laurel then had their first kiss as a married couple. The minister gave his congratulations and signed all of the paperwork before he left to get on the boat and leave so that the family could have their privacy.

"Well, how does it feel to be married Sis?" Sara asked.

"Still getting used to it, but it feels great." Laurel said.

"I am so happy for you two." Thea said as she hugged both Oliver and Laurel and then Sara did the same.

All of a sudden, there was a flash on the beach and two people appeared out of nowhere. The four of them walked over to the newcomers to see what was going on.

"Who are you two and how did you get here?" Oliver asked.

"Well, that isn't a nice way to talk to guests." The girl said.

"This is a private island so again, who are you and how did you get here?" Laurel asked this time.

"Ok, Ok. This whack job called the Monitor showed up and said he had a mission for us and sent us here. What year is this anyways?" The boy asked.

"It's 2014, What year are you supposed to be from?" Sara asked.

"We are from 2040." The girl said.

"And what did this Monitor send you to do?" Thea asked.

"We are here to save our parents." The girl said.

"Why? Wouldn't changing time cause some bad affects?" Sara asked.

"Not as bad as what will happen if our mother dies. It is important that she stays alive, because if she doesn't there is no way to save our father in the upcoming years." The boy said.

"Ok, we can try to help you with that. So, what are your names?" Laurel asked.

"Well, you are probably going to think that this is weird." The boy said.

"No more than time travel." Oliver said.

"Ok, well my name is Conner, and this is Olivia, and we are the children of Oliver and Laurel Queen." Conner said.

A/N: I know that it probably wasn't the best wedding scene, but I hope I did ok with it. Please leave some reviews and comments and let me know what you thought of the chapter or of the story so far. Thanks.
