Arrow - A New Earth to Save

Chapter 32

It had been about three weeks since Laurel and the twins had come home from the hospital. Other than her runs through the park with the baby stroller to get herself back into shape Laurel was stuck in the apartment most of the time. So, tonight she and Oliver were going to go on a date for the first time since Laurel had come home.

"Are you ready to go babe?" Oliver asked.

"Yeah just give me a second. I need to get used to using make-up again." Laurel said.

"You don't need make-up. You look beautiful without it." Oliver said.

"You are not trying to seduce me are you Mr. Queen?" Laurel asked while laughing.

"Of course, I am. But that will have to wait until later. We have a reservation at the new restaurant that just opened." Oliver said.

"You know that we can't do that yet Ollie. I am still healing." Laurel said with disappointment in her voice.

"You know that is not really an issue, right? I mean I did create a whole new universe. I don't think it would be a problem to heal you." Oliver said.

"Well in that case. I am going to call your parents and tell them that we will be picking up the kids tomorrow instead of tonight." Laurel said with a smile.

"I think that is a very good idea." Oliver said.

They got to the restaurant and had a great time just being with each other for the first time in a while. They talked about a lot of things, especially what had been going on with the team since she had the twins. She had to stay with the babies after all.

"I want to get back out there as soon as possible. I am still working on getting back into shape, but once I have, I want to get back out there." Laurel said.

"I understand, but what are we going to do with the twins while you and I are in the field?" Oliver asked.

"We could get Raiza to take care of the kids while we are gone or either we can take them to bunker and that way Felicity or someone else might be there to watch them." Laurel said.

"I think I like the idea of Raiza right now." Oliver said.

"Yeah, I know that Felicity is with Tommy, but she might still be jealous of you and me. I don't think she would do anything to Conner or Olivia, but I don't want to take the chance." Laurel said.

"I agree. I don't think she would do anything, but why take the chance." Oliver said.

"Ok, so are you ready to go home and let me heal you so that we can have some fun that we haven't had in a long time?" Oliver asked.

Laurel raised her hand and when she got the waiter's attention, she said "Check please."

The waiter nodded and went to retrieve the check. Oliver pulled out his credit card and gave it to the waiter. When the waiter returns Oliver and Laurel both got up and left the restaurant. It didn't take long for them to get home.

"Ok Ollie, heal me so I can get some. It has been way to long." Laurel said.

"Ok, it will take a minute." Oliver said.

Oliver raised his hand and Laurel could feel where she had been sore still starting to heal. Once he was done Oliver lowered his hand and asked "How do you feel? Do you still feel sore?"

"No, I am good. Now get down here. I have been waiting for this for a while not." Laurel said.

Oliver smiled at her and they started to kiss. They slowly striped it other of their clothes and then Oliver picked Laurel up and carried her to their room where they made love for the rest of the night.

The next morning, they both woke up at ten a.m. and knew that it was time to go and pick up Mia and the twins. Once they got dressed, they left for the Queen Mansion. When they got there, Mia ran up to them and gave Oliver and Laurel a hug. Oliver picked her up and carried her to the room where Robert and Moira were watching the twins.

Moira notice that Oliver and Laurel had arrived to pick up the kids and asked "Do you have time to stay for brunch? We just had a lot of stuff cooked up."

"Sure, we don't have anything to do today." Oliver said and they all went into the dining room to eat.

There were more seats set up then there were people at the table so Oliver asked "Are you expecting someone else to be joining us?"

"Yes, you sister and Roy are coming over as well. When Thea found out that the twins were here, I knew she wouldn't be able to resist coming for brunch." Robert said.

"That makes since, but there is still another place set up. Who is that for?" Laurel asked.

"Well after Oliver's speech at the hospital, we both realized how unfair we had been to Emiko, so we are trying to get to know her better. I also gave her a position in Queen Consolidated. It is was she always wanted. She will now be a part of the family, just as much as you and Thea." Robert said.

"I am glad you are starting to look at her like she is family. She is a good person. She was just dealt a bad hand in life for a while. It is nice that we can now make that up to her as a family." Oliver said and everyone nodded.

Soon Thea and Roy arrive, and Thea went to play with the twins for a few minutes while they waited for Emiko to arrive. Emiko arrived not long after Thea and Roy did. They all sat down and had a family brunch with all of the people that were important to them. Oliver thought that this was nice, and It would be nice if they could maybe find a way to do this on a weekly basis.
