"I swear on my life and the River Styx
I never thought it'd be you I'd miss
Now I'm dangling by the ankle somewhere cold
Like Sisyphus pushing that rock uphill
Or Echo falling for a daffodil
You lured me like a siren to the shore
Now I can't keep th...
When Laurel first woke up as Laurel Lance, she didn't know what to think or do.
Apparently she was still living with her parents, and last week was the boat crash, and she had just gotten a job as a Assistant District Attorney, which was good for her because she was a Lawyer in the last life too.
So after the funeral for Sarah and Oliver, who she knew was alive on both accounts, Laurel started saving up her $7,000 pay check (I googled it) every month.
But then her mother left and it was just her and her dad, and then came the end of her first month there.
She was doing okay till one morning she woke up puking.
At first she and her dad thought she just had the flu, but it continued form one day to three to a week, till finally she went to the doctor. And low an behold, she found out she was none other than pregnant. To say she was shocked would be an understatement.
They had never once mentioned in the show that Laurel had been pregnant when Oliver left. Meaning she probably never told anyone and just got an abortion. Whatever it was Laurel wasn't giving the kids up this time around, no matter what.
Month Five
At the moment Laurel has gotten past her morning sickness, and could feel the baby kicking. Along with knowing that now she was having twins.
A few days after finding out she was having twins she organized a gender reveal party.
They played games, had pink and blue balloons everywhere, and for the moment of truth, the reveal of both babes came in the form of glitter inside balloons. When they were popped pink glitter covered them all.
Month Seven
When the seventh month came around the family started planning baby shower. By the end of the night Laurel had everything she needed for her baby.
She got;
A wrap baby carrier Teddy Bears Baby Clothes Changing table kit Baby wipes and dippers Pacifiers Disney Classic Books Collection Soft baby toys Baby Monitor Hooded Towels Manual Breast Pump Galaxy Lights Projector Baby Blankets Food Catching Bibs Space-Saving High Chair Sway Swing Diaper Bag Baby Book Baby Bouncer Baby Bottles Car seats and a twin stroller Bassinets Cribs
Some of the more expensive things surprised Laurel a lot more than she'd want to admit, but she guessed that's what happens when the father of your kids comes from a very rich family, and when you have rich friends.
But the most expensive thing she got was a five bedroom four bathroom town house from Moira Queen.
"Can't have my grandbabies living in a a small cramped house, can I?" She asked Laurel who smiled gratefully as she took the keys to the town house.
Laurel would be the one paying the monthly bills of course, but Moira paid all the usual things that came with buying the town house. And Laurel couldn't be happier about it.
Month Eight
Laurel finally finished decorating the house; and her favorite rooms were the two baby rooms for her girls, the only thing left was to put the names of each baby on the walls, but she wasn't going to do that till she brought them home so she could surprise everyone with the names.

Month Nine
The day that she gave birth it took her 10 hours of Labor to push the twins out. And as she was in the delivery room then only person she wanted with her was Thea, but because Thea was only 13 she didn't think that was a good idea. So she did it alone.
After giving birth, and after taking a nap she invited the others inside the room to meet the twins.
"Baby A is Enola Olivia Queen-Lance." She told them, nodding to the blonde baby in her left arm.
"Olivia?" Moira said with a small smile.
"It felt right." Laurel told the woman with a small smile. "I knew Oliver better that almost anyone. If he were here I have no doubt that he'd love these girls." She said, and she saw the way her new father had a frown and a slight glare on his face about how she named Enola after Oliver, but she ignored it.
"What's baby B's name?" Thea asked her with a smile.
"Elodie Sara Queen-Lance." Laurel told the girl with a smile as she looked at the baby on her right arm. "And Thea, I have a question for you. Would you like to be Enola's Godmother?"
"Mom, can I?" Thea asked, turning to Moira.
"Only if you want to." Moira told the girl with a nod.
"Yes!" Thea told Laurel who smiled brightly.
"Perfect. I already asked Tommy to be Elodie's Godfather. And he said yes."
Year 1 Month 5
Laurel had been busy since her twins were born, but she had it figured out.
She dropped the twins off with Moira in the morning who would then have the servants watch them till she got off of work, and then she'd take them home. Every Saturday the twins would be with her dad so she could spend the day with Malcolm Merlyn who she had blackmailed into teaching her how to fight like the League of Assassins, she also spent an hour during the week with him while she told everyone else that that hour was just her at the office working a little later, and on Sundays she would spend time with her kids and clean the house.
Year Five
In the last few months before Oliver came home Thea's 18th birthday rolled around and Laurel couldn't be more excited.
She sent her four year old twins off to her mother for the weekend, and spent the whole party keeping an eye out for Oliver. She watched him go up the stairs and smiled slightly to herself before spending the next half hour waiting for the part to end.
When it did she went straight home and spent the next few weeks waiting for Oliver to come home.
