The nine months were now finishing, Sara was ready to give life to Laurel. 
Obviously the Legends has been warned, the same for Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak.
Everyone was waiting in the hospital's hall: Gideon could've been an excellent doctor, but she strongly reccomended that the birth was given in a safer and more expert place.
When Sara's water broke, Ava began to panic. It was Sara that asked Ava to be brought at the hospital, staying calm. 
Ava drove to the Star City's hospital, and as soon as they arrived, she yelled that a doctor had to bring immediately Sara to give birth. 
Ava had stayed the whole time at Sara's side, holding her hand, emotional.
After five hours, finally, they heard a cry.
"It's a beatiful girl!", said the obstetric. "How do you want to name her?"
"Laurel Sharpe-Lance", said both at the same time, smiling widely.
"Okay, we're back in a moment, we go washing this beautiful princess."
When the doctor left the room, Ava kissed Sara with love, and a tear of joy wet her cheek. Ava immediately took that tear from her.
"I'm so happy.", said Sara after a while. 
Ava nodded. "Me too. You made me the happiest woman in the world.", she kissed Sara's forehead. "Now, I go warn the Legends that Laurel is born, before they begin to ask everyone."
Sara giggled, and after a last mold kiss, Ava went to the hall and said the news, held with entthusiasm.
"Okay, I go back to Sara. See you later.", said Ava smiling. 
The Director went back to the Captain, and she found her with the baby on her chest. 
"She's beatiful.", Ava said, making Sara smile, and she stroke the little's cheek.

Two days later, Sara and Laurel could go home, and it was after that moment that Ava's and Sara's life were really complete.
The first month was extremely difficult: even if both were used to be woken up in the night, doing it every three hours was hard.
Both learned how to change the diapers, how to cook weird meals (thanks to Gideon), to understand what the girl liked and what not. They both learned to bear the vomit smell.
For Ava, everything was new. Sometimes, in the evening, she had crying attacks, fear that she couldn't do it, but Sara's arms were always there for her, to hold and confort her, as well as Laurel's toothlesses smiles.

For the pediatrics checks, the girls returned to Gideon, and when she said that they could begin to feed Laurel with the baby's bottle, at least during the night, Ava and Sara began to change every week. 

Laurel was growing up really fast, a year was already gone.
For Laurel's first birthday, Sara and Ava invited the Legends, Team Arrow and Team Flash. They also asked Kara and Alex to come if they wanted to.
Obviusly, nobody denied the offer, a bit because they were all curious to know the little girl, a bit because they were a little afraid of the ex Assassin when she gave orders.

The night after the party, Sara made the same dream she had when she discovered she was pregnant.
She suddendly woke up, Ava didn't noticed anything. The blonde stood up and went to check Laurel, she was sleeping quietly. Sara took a deep breath and went in the kitchen, filling herself a glass of rum - sometimes she could afford it - and then she sat down on the sofa, looking out of the window.
It was 4.30 am, so the sunset has to be shortly after, it gave peace to Sara.
Three hours later, Ava joined Sara. "Hey, what are you doing here?", asked the Director, kissing Sara's forehead, from behind. She saw the empty glass on the table, but she didn't say anything. 
"I couldn't sleep.", said Sara, she shrugged.
"How long are you here?"
"Three hours, more or less."
"And why you didn't wake me up ?", Ava sat near her girlfriend.
"You were sleeping so peacefully, and besides, I know you were tired.", Ava sighed.
Sara was reserved, and Ava was surrending, but she has preferred that sometimes she would open herself up.
"Fine. Should I make breakfast? Laurel is still sleeping."
Sara nodded. "I'm going to wake her up.", she stood up, kissing softly Ava, and went in the baby's room. She saw her sleeping and smiled widely, stroking her cheek.
"I will protect you from everybody, little girl.", whispered Sara, then Laurel opened her blue eyes. Blue as Sara's. She took Laurel in her arms, and went in the kitchen. "Good morning, mom!", Sara exclaimed, trying to use a kid voice.
Ava laughed and turned to her family, kissing Laurel's forehead. "Good morning, princess.", she answered with a smile.
She will never get used to this simply, daily moments of sweetness.
