The Return of the Queens

Chapter 43

I was now just about Laurel's due date which meant that she could have to go to the hospital at any time. Oliver wasn't going in the field as much so that he could be there when she was ready to go. The rest of the team was doing well without him and being that Oliver was in the bunker a lot, it allowed him to work with Talia on his sword training which he was getting good at. Thea was probably doing better than Oliver at it, but they were both better at different things.

"So, are you ready to be a dad?" Thea asked.

"I am getting really nervous. I don't really know what to expect." Oliver said.

"You will be fine, and everyone will be around to help you as well." Thea said.

"I know, and thanks." Oliver said.

Just then Oliver's phone rung and he looked at the caller id to see that it was Sara calling him. She had been staying with Laurel today so that Oliver could actually go out in the field.

"Yeah Sara. What is it?" Oliver asked.

"It's time Ollie. I will get Laurel to the hospital. You just meet us there." Sara said.

"I am on the way." Oliver said and he hung up.

"What's going on Ollie?" Thea asked.

"Laurel and Sara are on the way to the hospital. I am going to meet them there." Oliver said.

"Well, I am coming with you. I can call people while you and Sara help with Laurel." Thea said.

"I have my motorcycle. I guess you will be riding with me." Oliver said.

"I have a motorcycle to Ollie." Thea said.

"Yeah, but yours is your vigilante ride. I have two. One for personal and one for the vigilante life. We will be taking mine." Oliver said.

"Good point. Sara dropped me off earlier, so I have no ride. So, I guess I will be riding with you." Thea said.

"Let's go. Felicity let the rest of the team know what is going on when they get back. We will call with updates as we get them." Oliver said.

"I will make sure that they know what is going on. We will take care of everything here and you just need to worry about those babies." Felicity said and Oliver nodded as he and Thea left to get to the hospital.

When Oliver and Thea got to the hospital, they went to the desk to see if Laurel and Sara had arrived yet. They found out that Laurel had been taken to a room to get ready. It was going to be a while before anything happened so they all got as comfortable as they could and waited until it was time for the babies to come.

Thea went out in the hall and called both Quentin and Dinah to let them know that Laurel was in labor and that they needed to get to the hospital. She then called Walter for Oliver, to let him know that Oliver wouldn't be in for a couple of days for work. She then called the deputy mayor to let him know that Laurel was having the babies. He was a man named Rene Ramirez and Laurel had hired him because he was there to give her the opinions of the people in the Glades so that she could be the best mayor she could. Rene had been running things for the last couple of weeks because Laurel was put on bedrest, but they still wanted him to know.

Thea got back in the room and told them that she had called everyone, and that Dinah and Quentin were on their way. It took another eight hours for Laurel to be dilated enough for the babies to be ready to be delivered.

"Ok, you can have two people come with you to the delivery room. The rest of the guest need to go to the waiting room." The nurse said.

"I want Ollie and Sara with me." Laurel said.

"Ok baby, we will see you when you have had the babies. Good luck." Quentin said as he, Dinah, and Thea left and went to the waiting room.

About an hour later Sara came walking out to tell everyone that they babies were here and that they could come back to meet the newest members of the family. When they entered the room Dinah and Thea went right to where the babies were as Quentin and Sara stood back.

"Oh, they are so cute. You did good sweetie." Dinah said.

"Thanks mom, but I only did half the work. I mean look at the boy. He looks just like Oliver." Laurel said.

"That he does. So, what are their names?" Dinah asked since she didn't know anything about the visitors from the future like the rest of them did.

"The boy is Conner Lance Queen, and the girl is Olivia Moira Queen." Oliver said.

"I think that it is nice that you named her after mom Ollie. She would have liked that." Thea said.

"I think she would too. Your mom was always so nice to me. I wish she could have been here." Laurel said.

"I wish dad was here too. He would have loved being a grandfather." Oliver said.

"He would have been a great grandfather. I know we haven't always gotten along Oliver, but you are a good man, and I am glad that you married my daughter." Quentin said.

"Thanks Quentin. So, would you like to hold one of them?" Oliver asked.

"I might later. I will let the women have their fun right now." Quentin said and he and Oliver laughed at that.

Later all of the guests left and went home. Leaving Oliver and Laurel in the room with the babies. "You need to get some rest Laurel. I will watch the babies while you sleep." Oliver said.

"I will try. I just have a hard time taking my eyes off of them right now because I love them so much." Laurel said.

"I understand, but you need your rest. If they need to be fed, they will let you know." Oliver said.

"Ok, I will try to get some sleep. We did good, didn't we?" Laurel asked.

"Yeah, we did. Now get some sleep." Oliver said as Laurel shut her eyes and went right to sleep because she was exhausted from the labor.
