Sara's Decision

Chapter 54

It has been two months since Sara had told the team about Diaz, who was not a threat to them as of yet because he was in prison for some drug charges. His lawyer was working on a case to get him out because they are saying that he was wrongly accused. Barbara would keep an eye on the news to see if Diaz was released due to this case.

"I am so glad this is about over. I feel like I am as big as a house." Sara said as she walked into the apartment with Oliver.

"You might feel that way, but I think you look beautiful. I always think you are the best-looking person in the room." Oliver said.

"Thank you. So, I am going to sit down and rest while you get some food ready." Sara said.

"Ok, I will get to work on that. Have any preferences?" Oliver asked.

"Yeah, something spicy. It might make it so hot that the baby comes out soon. Hahaha." Sara said.

"Ok, I will see what I can come up with." Oliver said.

While Oliver was cooking Sara walked into the room and Oliver turned to look at her and Sara said, "I think it is time to go to the hospital. My water just broke."

"I will go and get your bag and I will be down in a second and then we can head to the hospital." Oliver said and Sara nodded.

Thirty minutes later Sara and Oliver were arrived at the hospital and Sara was taken back to a room to get ready while Oliver filled out some paperwork. When he was done with the paperwork, Oliver called everyone to tell them that the baby was on the way. He calls Quentin and Laurel first. They would get in touch with Dinah. Then he called Thea, Moira, Roy, Emiko, Tommy, and Barbara. They all said that they would be there as soon as they could.

Oliver walked into the room that Sara was in waiting until she was ready to deliver the baby.

"They say I am at about four centimeters. So, I still have a while until I can deliver. So, are we still good with the three names that we picked?" Sara asked.

"Yeah, I think that Savannah, Erica, and Laura are good names." Oliver said.

"I still wish you would give Olivia a chance." Sara said.

"Sorry Sara, but I don't want a child named after me. It just feels weird to me." Oliver said.

"That's ok. I like the other names just as well. Maybe we can use it as a middle name?" Sara asked.

"Yeah, I might could live with that." Oliver said.

A few hours passed and Sara was now at eight centimeters. Her labor was going really fast considering. Oliver was going out to update everyone every so often so that they knew how everything was going. After another few hours it was time for the baby to be delivered so the doctor came in and said, "Well Mrs. Queen, it looks like it is time for you to have your baby. Are you ready?" The doctor asked.

"I have been ready for the past two months. I feel like I am as big as a house and I am ready to get rid of this extra weight and finally hold my little girl." Sara said.

"Well, you will be able to do that soon, I hope. Now I need you to give me a hard push." The doctor said and Sara nodded and then started to push.

After about thirty minutes, Sara had finally delivered the baby and she was holding the baby too her chest. She was so happy she didn't know what to do. Her beautiful baby girl was finally here, and she could see that Oliver was staring at the baby the same way she was.

"So, now that we are able to look at her, do you know which name you like best for her?" Sara asked.

"I have an idea, but I would like to know what you think." Oliver said.

"Well, I want to know what you think. We are normally thinking the same thing anyways." Sara said.

"Ok, we both say what we think on three then. One, two, three." Oliver said.

"Erica." They both said at the same time.

"Told you we always think the same. So, Erica Olivia Queen. I like the sound of it." Sara said.

"Yeah, it does have a nice ring to it." Oliver said.

Oliver then went out and got the family members and came back to the room so that they could introduce them to the new member of the family. Moira and Dinah were the first two to hold their granddaughter. Laurel was then next followed by Thea. Emiko was kind of all to the side and Oliver realized this.

"What are you doing over here all by yourself?" Oliver asked.

"I still don't see eye to eye with your mother, so I try to keep my distance as much as possible, especially on a day like today that is supposed to be a happy day." Emiko said.

"I can understand that. I am going to bring Erica over here so that you can hold her." Oliver said as he went to get his daughter and handed her to Emiko.

Emiko held her for a while and then she gave Erica back to Oliver and decided that she would leave so that Tommy and Barbara could come back. Thea left as well.

Now that everyone had meet the new member of the family it was time for all of the guest to leave so that Sara and Erica could both get some rest. Oliver sat there and watch as the two most important women in his life sleep while he thought about the future and how he hoped that it was going to be a very good future for his daughter, as well as for he and Sara.
