Arrow - A New Earth to Save

Chapter 20

After stopping the siege, Oliver decided to let everyone have a break. He thought that everyone deserved it. Everyone would still be on call though in case something big came up.

Oliver was up fixing breakfast for his family. He turned around to see that Laurel was already up and she was fixing herself a cup of coffee. "So, what do you want to do for the next week while we are off?" Oliver asked.

"I think we are due for a vacation that does not have to with an island or the league." Laurel said as she and Oliver laughed.

"I think that can be arranged. So, what do you really want to do?" Oliver asked.

"I am fine with a staycation. I think we should ask Mia though, since she has never been on a real vacation." Laurel said.

Oliver nodded and served Laurel her breakfast. That let Mia sleep in a little while because it was vacation time after all. About thirty minutes later Mia was awake and, in the kitchen, fixing her a plate of the food that both her parents had already eaten.

"Good morning sweetie. How are you this morning?" Laurel asked.

"I'm fine. These pancakes are really good." Mia said.

Oliver nodded and said, "So Mia, we are on vacation this week and we were wondering if there was something that you would like to do."

"All of the other kids that were in my class are always saying that they go to the beach every year. I was wondering if we could do that." Mia said.

"That sounds like fun. We can go there for the week and have a good time." Laurel said.

Oliver looked at Laurel and asked, "Do you want to go to a crowded beach, or do you want to go to the beach property that the family owns that has a private beach area?"

"I think the private beach area would be better. I would like to wear a bikini but if we go to a crowded beach, there would probably be to many questions about our scars." Laurel said and Oliver nodded in agreement.

A few hours later, they were headed for the Queen family beach house located on the California coast. They had also called Thea and Sara and asked if they and their significant others wanted to go with them. Laurel was looking forward to finally meeting Ava. They had not had the chance to meet since she had been back from her five years away.

When they got to the house, they unloaded all of their luggage and Mia went and looked out the window toward the beach. "Mommy, can you go out with me and help build a sandcastle?" Mia asked.

"We will go out in a little while after we have finished unpacking. Does that sound ok?" Laurel asked.

"Yeah. That is ok." Mia said going to help her parents so that they could get the unpacking done quicker.

After they finished unpacking, they changed into there swimming suits and went down to the beach. Laurel gave Mia a sand bucket so that she could start making a sandcastle. Oliver and Laurel were sitting on their towel watching as Mia was working.

Oliver looked over at Laurel and said, "It has been a long time since I have seen you wearing something that is that sexy and it not being black." Laurel blushed as she looked down at her red bikini that she had not worn in about six years.

"Mr. Queen are you trying to seduce me?" Laurel asked with a smile on her face.

"Maybe. Is it working?" Oliver asked.

"If Mia was not here right now, I would let you take me right here." Laurel said.

"There is plenty of time for that this week." Oliver said with a smile.

"Ok, that is to much information." They heard someone say and they turned around to see Thea standing there.

"Shut up Speedy. I am sure you and Roy will end up out here sometime or another doing the same thing." Oliver said.

Thea blushed but she didn't deny what her brother had just said. Everyone decided that they wanted to go get in the water to cool down. When they got out of the water, they saw that their last two guest had arrived, and Sara decided that she would play with Mia in the sand while Everyone else was getting to know Ava.

They decided that they were going to have steaks for dinner, so Oliver and Roy were on grill duty while the girls had to take care of the potatoes and salad. Thea looked at Mia and asked, "So Mia, how was your first day at the beach?"

"I had a lot of fun. I have never been to the beach before." Mia said.

"Well hopefully we will be able to do this every year. What do you think of that?" Thea asked.

"I would love to do that. I think it would be very fun." Mia said.

"Ok, steaks are ready. Is everything else ready to go?" Oliver asked.

"Yeah everything else is ready?" Laurel said.

"Ok then. Let's eat. I am about to starve." Sara said.

They all sat down and ate and had a good time with a lot of conversation. When they were done, they all decided to set on the deck and watch the sunset and drink so drinks. When they were finished Oliver and Laurel were about to put Mia to bed, but she turned to Laurel and asked, "Do you think that Aunt Thea would read me a bedtime story?"

"Why don't you go and ask her?" Laurel said and Mia went to ask.

"Sure, I would like to read your bedtime story." Thea said.

Oliver and Laurel walked with Thea and Mia to Mia's bedroom and tucked her in and give her a kiss before they left her and Thea to the bedtime story.

Now that they had sometime alone, they looked at each other and smiled because they both had the same idea. They went to take a walk on the beach just for some time alone. When they got back to the house Laurel looked at Oliver and smile at him seductively and asked "So, I am thinking about going for a swim. Would you like to join me?"

"We don't have the right clothes to go swimming." Oliver said.

"Who said anything about clothes?" Laurel asked as she started to strip naked and Oliver started to do the same. They both ran into the water and when the water got up about neck high, they stopped and started to kiss. It started to get really heated and then they started to make love. Once they were done with their swim they got out of the water and let the air dry them off a little bit before they put their clothes back on.

When they walked back into the house everyone looked at them and Thea said, "So where have you to been?"

"Oh, we just took a walk down the beach. It is romantic with the moon shinning off the water." Laurel said.

"Why is your hair wet then?" Sara asked with a knowing smile.

"Ollie, took me out in the water and dunked me." Laurel said.

"Why aren't your clothes wet then?" Thea asked.

"Ok, that's enough. You caught us. You happy?" Oliver said while shaking his head with a smile.

Everyone just laughed at that and they all saw that it was late, so they decided to call it a night.
