Sarah smiled as she was decorating the apartment for Lisa's birthday. She couldn't believe that she was turning five already and her sister Abby was ten. She had been able to enjoy these last five years after Lisa had been born being able to spend more time with being at home with the family instead of traveling on the waverider, and she was glad that both she and Snart had agreed to quit time traveling and focusing on their family. And she sometimes wished she would've done that from the start with Abby, but they had to in order to save her and her family. But one good thing about time traveling that Sara always needed to remember, was that she and Leo had been able to go right back to the moment they left Abby, so in reality, they hadn't missed anything with her at all. But it felt like they had.

Sara was just finishing up setting up the snacks and putting them on the kitchen counter when she heard the knock at the door. She opened it smiling when she saw it was Thea and Roy. "Thea!" Sara wrapped her arms around Thea giving her a hug before turning to Roy and giving him a hug as well. She then stepped back so the two of them could come in. "Where's my goddaughter?" Thea asked immediately after giving Sara a hug, and setting her and Roy's gift down where Sara had hers. Sara chuckled. "I don't even get a hello back?" She teased. Thea grinned a little glancing at Sara. "Hello Sara where's Abby?" Sara laughed. "She and Lisa are downstairs playing with some of the toys. They've been asking all morning if it was time for you all to come yet."

Thea grinned then made her way downstairs to see her nieces. Sara glanced over at Roy. He had only been back for a couple of weeks and Sara had heard from Oliver and Felicity that Thea and Roy had been getting close again. "How have you been?" Sara asked. Roy smiled giving Sara a small nod of his head. He was feeling rather awkward as it had been awhile he had seen Sara and he hadn't even met Leo yet. He seemed to be rather busy lately. He of course had seen Abby and Lisa because Thea made sure to come and visit her nieces quite often. "I am doing good thank you. It's.. Been good to be back." Sara nodded. "We are glad to have you back." As Sara heard another knock at the door she went to open it this time to see Felicity and Oliver hugging them as well before letting them come inside.

"Thea!" Abby grinned as she turned her head to see that Thea had come downstairs. She set her doll down and got up rushing over to hug her aunt. Thea smiled hugging Abby back. "Hey there sweetie." She glanced up at Lisa who was the more shy of the sisters. Letting go of Abby before walking over to Lisa and giving her a hug as well. "Hey there Lis.. How are you?" Lisa smiled slowly hugging her back in return. "I'm doing good. Me and Abby are playing house. Did you want to play with us?" She asked. Thea smiled. "I would love to join you."

While Sara was visiting with Oliver and Felicity, Roy made his way downstairs stopping halfway and smiling as he watched Thea who was interacting and playing house with her nieces. Thea glanced up as she saw Roy coming down the stairs smiling in return. "Don't suppose you'd want to join in?" She teased. Roy chuckled making the rest of the way downstairs and sat down next to Thea. "I suppose.. Why not."

Sara made her way downstairs once most of the people except for Snart was here. She was suddenly getting worried that Snart had caught himself in a mess and would be late or not get there at all. But she would hold off the party as long as she could until Leo made his way back to the house. Sara smiled chuckling a little. "I never thought I'd see the day where I'd see a boy playing house and dolls." Sara teased watching the four of them. Roy glances up at Sara as he heard her words, his cheeks turning red. He cleared his throat. "Oh.. Well.." He was trying to think of something to say but couldn't come up with anything smart to comment back with. "Almost everyone is here if you two would like to come up and see them." Sara said glancing at her two daughters. Abby and Lisa glanced at their mother smiling excitedly then nodded setting their dolls down and got up. "Come on!" Abby grinned and grabbed Thea's hand. Thea chuckled. "I'm coming.." Lisa watched following after her sister and walked over to Roy grabbing his hand just like Abby had with Thea but didn't exactly say anything as she was more shy. Thea glanced back with Roy following her and Abby smiling a little seeing him interacting with Lisa. Taking her hand in return to help her up the stairs.
