Arrow - A New Earth to Save

Chapter 3

As Oliver woke up the next morning, He found himself lying next to Laurel and that made him happy. It was going to take some getting used to but it felt good. Then he got to thinking about his old life and some of the things that he would miss. The one thing that he would miss the most would be his son William who didn't exist on this earth because he never cheated on Laurel once they got together. That was one thing that he did right on this earth.

He knew that he would miss his time with Felicity, but he knew that he belonged with Laurel because he his feelings for her are so much more then they ever were for Felicity. He then felt movement next to him showing that Laurel was waking up. She looked over and smiled at him.

"So, what were you just thinking about? You looked very deep in thought." Laurel asked.

"I was thinking about William because on this earth he does not exist because I did not cheat on you with Samantha. I was also thinking about how things will be different on this earth with Felicity." Oliver said.

"Look Ollie, I know that you were still married to her two days ago from the old earth and if you really want to be with her, I will not get in your way. Just remember that you have a daughter to take care of whether you are with me or not." Laurel said.

"Laurel I am not going to leave you because what I have always felt for you is a whole lot more then what I have ever felt for Felicity. The only reason that I moved on to Felicity is because you said that we couldn't be together because of Tommy." Oliver said.

"Well that is good to know that you love me so much and I am sorry for getting in the way of us being together on the old earth because of the pain that I was feeling. But just so you know I have always loved you." Laurel said while leaning over to kiss him.

Things started to get heated with the kiss and the next thing they knew, they were making love for the next hour. When they were done, they got dressed and went to check on their daughter. They found her in her room playing with her new toys.

"Hey sweetie, are you have fun with all of you new toys?" Oliver asked.

"Hey mommy and daddy. I really like my toys. This is the most fun I have ever had." Mia said.

"That's great baby, but let's go get some breakfast and then you can come back up and play. Ok?" Laurel said.

"Ok, I was starting to get hungry anyways." Said Mia.

They all went down to get some cereal for breakfast and then they let Mia return to her room and play with her toys while they went to watch the news to see just how bad things were in the city.

Later that night they went to the address that Thea had given them for the meeting that they could meet with the rest of the team. It was the same place that Verdant used to be but this time it was named Crimson. They were let inside because the bouncer knew that they were Thea's family. They went to the basement and when they got there, they saw that they were early because the only person there was Thea.

"We need to put in the back entrance so that if for some reason we ever need to bring Mia we won't have to worry with the bouncer." Oliver said.

"Yeah it would be a lot easier to continue her training her than it will be at home." Laurel said.

"Wait a minute. You have been training your daughter who is only five while you were gone?" asked Thea.

"Yeah. We didn't really have a choice, but we will explain everything once everyone gets here. She is actually in the car with the driver right now anyways. She wanted to come and meet our friends and she is actually wanted to come and train. It was her idea." Laurel said.
