The Return of the Queens

Chapter 48

When Oliver got back home that night, he saw that Thea was in the living room watching the television. He went and sat down next to her and looked to so what she was watching. He saw that she was watch the movie Taken.

"I like this movie a lot. Hey, don't you think the friend of the daughter that is kidnapped looks like Laurel?" Oliver asked.

"You know, now that I look at it, she really did look like Laurel." Thea said.

"Looks like we found the person who is Laurel's doppelganger." Oliver said.

"No doubt about that. So, what's got you in here watch a movie and not being with your wife and kids?" Thea asked.

"I could ask you the same thing." Oliver said.

"Well, Sara is working on something for work tomorrow and Nora is doing homework, so I have nothing else to do." Thea said.

"I came here to talk to you anyways. You remember how you said you would go to the League with me if I went? Did you mean it?" Oliver asked.

"Of course, I did brother. Not that it is going to come to that because you will be ready to fight Ras and all of that will not happen. But anyways, I thought Laurel was going to go if it came to that." Thea said.

"I talked some since into her and she is going to stay with the kids now. So, that is why I am asking you." Oliver said.

"I will go with you if it comes to that. With what we have both been through already, the League won't be able to break us." Thea said.

"I know. We will help keep each other sane. I mean there is no one I trust more than Laurel, but she hasn't been through what we have, and I was scared that she was going to break, and I would never be able to get her back." Oliver said.

"Even if she did go with you, I don't think she would have broken. She is one of the strongest people that I know and you being there I know for sure she would not have, but we don't have to worry about that now." Thea said.

"Well, I am going to head up and see the kids. I will talk to you later." Oliver said as he got up and walked up the stairs to the kids' room to see that Laurel was already there.

"So, did your talk with Thea go ok?" Laurel asked.

"She is going to go with me and join the League if it comes to that." Oliver said.

"That's good. I want someone that we trust to be there with you since I can't be." Laurel said.

"Well, everything is setup. Oh, by the way, Thea was watching Taken downstairs and we were looking at the friend of the daughter and we both thought she could be your doppelganger." Oliver said.

"I have heard that before and I have seen the movie many times and I just don't know why people seem to think that because I don't think she looks anything like me." Laurel said.

"If you say so. Hey, maybe I can get her to marry me as well and I can have two of you." Oliver said and laughed at the face Laurel made.

"If you even try it, I will make sure that you have a very painful death." Laurel said.

"You know I was just messing with you. I only have eyes for one woman." Oliver said.

"That is what I like to hear. So, it looks like the kids are finally going to start sleeping for most of the night." Laurel said.

"That is a good thing. Especially if we are going to have late nights like we normally do." Oliver said.

"What do you think about Sara and I training Nora so that she can be a hero once she gets old enough to be?" Laurel asked.

"I think it is a good idea and we will do the same for our kids when they get to a certain age. We already know what they become, so we might as well give them all the training that they will need." Oliver said.

"Well, I am going to go to bed. I know you are going to stay in here for a little while, so I will see you in the morning." Laurel said as she gave him a kiss and left the room.

Oliver picked up both of the babies and put one in each arm and sat in the rocking chair and rocked them while looking down at the. "Your mom is an amazing woman. Neither one of you could do better in that department. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I don't know what I did to deserve her. If something ever happens to me, I want you to know that I love both of you very much and I know that your mother will do the best she can with raising you. Don't give her to hard of a time if she tough on you. She is just doing what she thinks is best for the both of you. I hope it never comes to that but there is always that possibility with what we do every night." Oliver said as he put the babies back into their cribs and leaned over to give Olivia a kiss first.

"Good night pretty bird." Oliver said.

He then walked over to Conner's crib and kissed him on the head and said, Good night son."

Oliver walks to the door and sees that Laurel must have been standing there the whole time. She had tears running down her cheeks.

"I thought you were going to sleep." Oliver said.

"I was, but then I heard you talking so I thought I would stick around to see what you said. Ollie, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me also and you deserve me more than you know. If there is someone who doesn't deserve someone, it is me. I don't know what I did to deserve such a great man." Laurel said.

"You were always there for me. That is more than I can say for a lot of people." Oliver said.

"Well, you will always have me for as long as I live." Laurel said.

"Same here. Let's go get some sleep. We are going to have a long day of training tomorrow." Oliver said as they walked to their room and got ready for bed.
