Enjoy!

It's been only a few weeks that Lyla and Diggs took release from the hospital and went back to Starling City with their kids as for Felicity, Connor, Grayson stayed for awhile in New York to get familiarized with her new found cousin and helped her settle in.

When they returned Grayson wouldn't shut up about visiting to New York to anyone who would listen to his stories.

So the day came when Felicity had arranged to meet with Laurel in Starling City to teach her computer skills but Grayson seemed to be glued to her hip and yelling;

"NO I WANT MAMA!"

While Connor tried to take him in his embrace in the train station.

"Gray, we can go have fun at the park! Don't you like the park?" Connor tried to attract his attention.

"I LIKE TRAINS MORE, DAD!" Grayson yelled back and stamped his foot on the ground. And his parents looked shocked at each other and then back at their son.

"Besides mommy will do boring things." Felicity said to Gray as she kissed his puffy cheeks and tried to get his off her leg.

"But I don't want you to go." Grayson said close to tears as Felicity managed to get him off her leg and kneeled towards him.

"You and dad will have more fun with me now that I'm gone, trust me. I won't be there to tell you not to eat chips before lunch or not to run around with your slippers and you can play all day video games without tidying your room!" Felicity said excitedly in order to lure Grayson to stay with Connor.

"Really?!" Grayson asked excited and Felicity nodded sharing a victorious look with Connor.

"Okay! Bye, mama! Be careful!" Grayson exclaimed as he kissed her quickly and run to his dad's side.

"Bye, my boys! Try not to wreck the entire house!" Felicity said as she waved at them and then kissed Connor and ruffled Grayson's raven black hair and walked away towards the train.

Once she arrived at Starling City she found Laurel waiting for her with her laptop bag.

"Hey, Felicity!" Laurel said smiling and walked up to Felicity and hugged her. Felicity was caught off guard by the hug.

"Should we start?" Felicity asked once they sat down in the near café with wifi and opened their computers.

Felicity showed the ropes to Laurel and they talked about the dangers of hacking and how to be invisible. In a matter of eight hours with four one hour breaks where they ate and talked about their lives. Laurel told her about how her and Oliver were doing and Felicity told her about how Grayson is driving her insane and how Connor suggested to have another baby.

"That's amazing, Felicity!" Laurel exclaimed in happiness as she looked at Felicity who nodded looking down ashamed since she was married to her ex boyfriend and she didn't even know about it yet gave her, her best wishes.

"Laurel, can I tell you something?" Felicity said suddenly as Laurel and her walked back to the train station and Laurel looked at her worried since Felicity a second ago was joking and laughing and now she was dead serious.

"Sure." Laurel said worried.

"I swear to the life of my son that I never intended to happen that way I only wanted to give him a chance to live on...I thought he would be back with you but he chose Chicago and cut ties with you and everyone else. I'm sorry but he asked me not to say anything but I see it's not fair since you went through hell after him and you both deserve happy endings no matter what you've done wrong." Felicity rambled quickly and in an apologetic tone which worried and confused Laurel.

"Who are you talking about?" Laurel asked confused and Felicity sighed.

"Tommy Merlyn?" Felicity said hesitantly and Laurel's eyes teared up.

"He is alive? Is he okay? Is he disabled due his injury?" Laurel asked worried and happy.

"No, he is fine...he was in a year coma but nothing else. And, he goes by the name Connor Rhodes...he is my husband and Grayson's father. I'm sorry, Laurel! I swear I never indented to go like that! That is the reason why I'll never return to Starling City. I can't be a full time mother and a doctor and a crime fighter." Felicity said quickly and in an apologetic tone.

"Why are you apologizing? It's his and your life, I don't have a say in it. And I'm happy for both of you. You can come and visit me if you want. I went through so much, as you said, the past years that taught me to be grateful for the good things that happen around me and be happy for other people's happiness." Laurel said smiling kindly to Felicity and then hugged her and Felicity sighed in relief as she hugged her back.

"Does Oliver know?" Laurel asked worried Felicity once they stopped hugging.

"He saw Connor in New York but Connor faked to be amnesiac...so I think he does know...don't confirm to him that it was Tommy, please! I'll have to talk to Connor about the fact that you know....i don't know how he will take it." Felicity said apologetic and Laurel nodded understanding.

"I found it logical. Hey! Don't worry, I will keep this secret. Thank you for telling me and teaching me! Have a safe trip back! Give a kiss to Grayson from me!" Laurel said to Felicity with a smile that held no sadness or betrayal as the train stopped and passengers started boarding.

"Thank you and I will. Bye! Till next time!" Felicity said smiling as she boarded the train and Laurel waved at her.

When the train was gone Laurel did a happy dance while laughing.

She was truly glad Tommy was alive and had made a life for himself. She went home and searched everything on Connor Rhodes. She smiled proudly to the screen as she drank warm milk.

"Well done, Tommy! You made your mother proud after all."Laurel said smiling as the photo of Connor Rhodes and the rest of his colleagues including Felicity.

Felicity waited in the train station where Connor run up to her while holding an umbrella as he kissed her and then she checked the baby seat in the back but saw no Grayson.

"Where is he?" Felicity asked worried.

"He is with April at home. You sounded kinda sad on the phone so I thought to come alone so you can talk about it. So what's up?" Connor said serious and Felicity started crying.

"Don't hate me for it...I told Laurel about you being alive...she will keep your secret and she is not mad at all! She also invited us to visit her so you two can catch up." Felicity said quickly while sobbing and Connor looked at his wife shocked and then smiled at her.

"It's okay....she knows I went to Med School...I met her accidently one day she was visiting her cousin who was a classmate of mine and he saw me. She can keep a secret. I'm not mad you told her I was thinking of telling you to tell her since I knew that this secret might take a toll on your new found friendship that is still new and fragile." Connor said as he hugged his wife and kissed her hair as Felicity cried in his arms.

"And how about we visit her on Spring Break? Her cottage near the sea would be great! No one would think of looking there and we can enjoy it." Connor said laughing as they walked back to the car.

"Laurel has a cottage?" Felicity asked confused and Connor nodded.

They went into the car and Connor sighed and asked the question.

"What about the question I asked you before you leave? Did you think about it?" Connor asked confused and Felicity sighed.

"Yes, I want another baby but not right now." Felicity said sighing and Connor sighed too.

"Like when?" Connor asked hopeful.

"During Spring break?" Felicity said as she winged sexily and Connor laughed and coughed at the same time as he started the engine.

Spring Break:

Laurel had been part of Team Arrow for exactly seven months and she started taking kickboxing classes just to be safe in case she got kidnapped like before.

In the past seven months she's been talking with Felicity and Connor on weekly bases trying schedule the perfect Spring Break for all four of them and turned out that the perfect Spring Break would be if Laurel went to Chicago instead and meet not only Connor but their friends too since in Starling City Laurel had end up having no friends after her downright spiral with drinking problem and drug abuse.

Felicity and Connor thought it would be for the best if she met a few new faces. Laurel had joked telling them she didn't need parenting but she was touched by their thought. Felicity had warned her about how addicting fighting with Arrow can be and to be careful and she was.

She broke it off with Oliver saying that their relationship was toxic ever since he returned from Lian Yu and that she would be able to help him recover as a friend and that he should look for someone else.

Oliver on the other hand was betrayed and hurt since Tommy his best friend was alive and married to the woman he knew he was in love with yet couldn't be with her because he was stupid enough to let her go and keep her in arm length which cost him...she got tired of being a second choice and left him.

Tommy was always the gentleman.

Tommy, his best friend, that had no memory of him...that sucked. Maybe he was better without him in his life.

Oliver was lost in his thoughts as Laurel walked inside the Foundry but what made him look at her was the sound of suitcase being dragged along.

"Um...Laurel what is going on?" Oliver asked confused.

"I have Spring Break get away I forgot my wallet here since I paid for dinner yesterday!" Laurel said excited as she searched around the Foundry.

"Hey, sis! Where off to?" Sara asked as she walked inside the Foundry and looked at Laurel and held herself from laughing since she was dressed with long-sleeved shirt while Starling City had hot temperature.

"I was invited in a Spring Break gat away!" Laurel said as she stood up from the ground after trying to fish out her wallet from underneath the drawers where Diggs and Sara stored their knives and guns.

"Oh! Have fun!" Sara shrugged and went to the dummies.

"Thanks! Au Revoir!" Laurel waved as she rushed out of the Foundry.

Time Skip:

Laurel was welcomed by Connor, Felicity and Grayson in the train station. Laurel hugged Connor and Felicity and then Grayson hugged the leg of his mother not allowing Laurel to get a glimpse of him.

"Come on, Grayson don't be so shy." Felicity advised Grayson in a motherly tone.

"No." Grayson said stubbornly.

"Why?" Connor asked him and Grayson sighed.

"Because she hurt daddy." Grayson mumbled and the adults looked at each other awkwardly.

"I forgive her, buddy." Connor said softly to Grayson as he kneeled before his son.

"You did?" Grayson asked him surprised and made a cute face that both Laurel and Felicity silently awed.

"Yes, she is my friend ever since I was your age." Connor said to him as he looked at Laurel unsure. And Laurel smiled and waited for Grayson to react.

Grayson run up to her and hugged her leg and then looked at her.

"Hi." Grayson said with a cute smile as she looked down to him with a matching smile and said;

"Hi."

Grayson then proceed to tell her all about New York...yet again and about his school friends and the girl he liked.

"She is so pretty! She has hair like mommy and eyes like Aunt April...there are sooo pretty!" Grayson babbled all the way to Connor's dad. Laurel listened to him and came into conclusion that this little guy was a perfect mix of his parents; babbly like his mother and had the charm effect with the ladies like his dad.

She mentally chuckled at the thought of Grayson as a teenager...good luck to his parents.

"So you are not Malcolm's son? Thea is not your half sister but another girl named Claire is? So, Malcolm is your step dad?" Laurel whispered confused as she helped Connor unload the car.

"Yes." Connor answered with a smile and Laurel raised her eyebrows.

"And I thought Oliver was the Chambers of Secrets." Laurel joked as they walked inside.

Laurel was shocked to see many people there, talking, cooking some were even swimming.

"Who are all those people?" Laurel asked Felicity and Felicity smiled.

"Chicago finest. We have some friends and co-workers from the Chicago Fire Department, Chicago Police Department Precinct 21 and doctors and nurses and stuff from the hospital both I and Connor work, Gaffney Chicago Medical Center." Felicity explained as she tried to put sunscreen on Grayson while he played with his tablet.

"Oh! You are well connected, huh? By the way, why you told me to bring some winter clothes, it's fuc...I mean pretty hot here." Laurel asked chuckling in shock and amazement and then wiped the sweat off her forehead and remembered that Felicity had told her to pack a few winter sweaters instead for the light ones she used wear in Starling City this time around. She also was about to use the "f" word and stopped herself as she saw Grayson looking up to her smirking since he had sunscreen on his nose.

"Because we are like a desert...super hot in the morning and super cold once the sun goes down. I didn't mean to wear them now, you idiot." Felicity told Laurel with a laugh as Grayson run out in the garden to jump inside the pool just like any other kid.

Laurel took off the sweater and lay it on top of her bag and stayed with the tank top she wore underneath and walked behind Felicity who introduced her to her friends and her father in law.

The day went by with Laurel mingling and having actually intellectual conversations with many of the people there which pleased her since she had gone to countless rich parties but never had actual conversations with true words and honesty.

Just the song by OneRepublic called Oh My My came on in the speakers she was swimming in the pool with Grayson who was showing off his diving skills to her just then Connor yelled from the barbeque that her phone was ringing.

She quickly climbed out of the pool and run to the phone. It was Oliver...

"Yes?" Laurel asked out of breath and then dodged a child who run towards her screaming about spiders and another one, a boy, run behind her with an actual spider.

"Sorry to spoil your fun but Sara wanted to ask you something. Here take her." Oliver said apologetic and then heard him calling Sara.

She furrowed her eyebrows in the mirror near the entrance of the house where the music was not so auditable.

"Laurel? You okay?" Cornelius asked her concerned as he walked down the stairs dressed in swim pants and plain white shirt.

"Yes, my sister called." Laurel said covering the microphone of the phone with her hand so her sister won't hear her. Also she avoided using names in case Oliver heard her and remembered the name and made the connection that Connor was Tommy if he hadn't already figure it out.

Cornelius nodded and smirked;

"I guess now I will have my grandson's full attention." He said laughing and danced to the music and he walked out of the door to the pool area and Laurel chuckled at his behavior.

Classic grandpa.

"Laurel?" Sara asked worried.

"Yes? Are you okay?" Laurel asked serious and made a disappointed face hearing that Peter the firefighter aka the current DJ had found the time to put on her current favorite song "Rich Love" by OneRepublic and she was missing it talking to Sara.

"I found a picture of you and Tommy and Felicity and a boy toddler as a bookmark in one of the books I wanted to borrow...from when is it? Look pretty new." Sara asked suspicious and Laurel slapped her forehead and cursed under her breath.

"It's pretty old I reprinted because it got tore down. Actual I took it on Tommy's birthday before the Undertaking obviously and the boy is Felicity's nephew." Laurel came up with a lie on the spot but then beat herself up again because Oliver recognize the child as hers and hearing that bullshit lie would blow if Oliver opened his mouth.

"That is it, Sara?" Laurel asked after Sara didn't comment on the new information.

"Yes. Have fun!" Sara said too excited for her character or at least this new assassin Sara.

Once the phone call ended Laurel searched frantically for Felicity and Connor and found them kissing in a room.

"Sorry guys but we have a problem." Laurel said sober and the husband and wife looked at her.

She told them about Sara's phone call and both people looked slightly tired of it.

"I'm sorry guys." Laurel apologized but Connor shook his head.

"It's not your fault but Starling City doesn't know when to shut up." Connor said tired.

"No, it's not Starling City's fault it's mine...I should have kept that picture better hidden." Laurel said serious and that was when it was clearly that Connor secret couldn't be kept anymore.

In Starling City, Sara sat in the training mats and looked at her already finished loaned book she got from Laurel's apartment last time they had sister bonding time.

"Oliver, do you still have the spare key of Laurel's apartment?" Sara asked Oliver who was cleaning the medical table.

Sara chuckled mentally at the image before her; Oliver Queen with a Kleenex and an old shirt wiping a furniture in other words cleaning!

"Yes, for emergencies. Why?" Oliver asked as continued his task.

"Um... I want to take a new book from her bookcase to read. Would you come with?" Sara asked and Oliver nodded as he finished quickly his task put on his jacket and Sara copied him.

In a matter of twenty minutes both Oliver and Sara were inside Laurel's apartment and Sara was looking at the books on her sister's living room table.

"In her Dreams by Heather Dinah....that looks interesting." Sara read out loud causing Oliver to walk by her.

"To my newlywed friends and their son. I hope this book teach you that when you do not face your problems and ignore them hoping to go by themselves will never work. Face the music and shake it off!" Sara read the first page which made Oliver nod in agreement to the writer's advice.

"What is it about?" Oliver asked Sara as he ducked to read the back of the book.

"A girl that lost the earth beneath her feet wishes to fall asleep and wake up when everything is over and better. Fate obeyed the request and the girl fell into a deep sleep almost like sleeping beauty's although in her dreams she saw her dream life. What will happen when she wakes up and finds out she cannot recall any memories of her actual life only of her dream life? Will she learn the lesson life taught her or refuse to face the music?" Sara read out loud and she shrugged thinking that she liked the plot of the book.

"It looks newly brought." Oliver noted as Sara opened the book and a picture fell from page 456 and the two vigilantes picked it up and stare it in shock.

https://youtu.be/akrnJEjUUm4

"That's Tommy and Felicity!" Sara exclaimed in shock and confusion.

"And the kid is Grayson, Felicity's son and her husband's Connor." Oliver added in confusion.

"Wait what? Felicity has a son and she is married?" Sara asked confused and shocked.

"Yes, where do you think she's been all this time?" Oliver asked confused at his friend slash ex girlfriend.

"Um...I don't know...some business trip that is why Laurel took over." Sara said confused.

"The kid looks at least...what three years old?" Sara asked Oliver who shrugged.

"I don't know. I met the kid in Diggs' wedding, Felicity was the maid of honor which means I have at least a few months to see her...no actually I saw her in New York when the plane crashed...she and Tommy were there helping patients as in Doctors' help." Oliver said confused and Sara stare at him with wide eyes and gaped.

"YOU KNEW THAT TOMMY WAS ALIVE?" Sara yelled at him in shock and started hitting him with the book and punched him once in the shoulder.

"My sister's was a wreck after his death!" Sara yelled again at Oliver who got pissed and yelled back;

"Don't yell at me! Yell at him for disappearing! I approached him when he saved Diggs and said that Diggs was his best man in his wedding and then when I called him Tommy he was confused and said that it was his name and that his name was Connor Rhodes! So it's not my fault I didn't want to spark false hope in Laurel's head! I care too much to be that cruel to her again!"

"That is...like it was drown out of a soap opera...the bad kinds when you have unknown twins popping all over the place." Sara said deep in thoughts and they sat on the couch as Sara grabbed Oliver's phone and went online and searched Connor's name.

"Holy shit!" Sara exclaimed as she shown to Oliver what she found.

"What in the name of..." Oliver started saying but then grabbed his phone from Sara's hand and dialed Laurel's number and started pacing back and forth as Sara stayed seated on the couch looking at the picture.

"Sorry to spoil your fun but Sara wanted to ask you something. Here take her." Oliver said apologetic to Laurel on the phone and then called Sara as he extended his hand to Sara who shook her head no and mouthed the same word. But Oliver shoved the phone to her ear and Sara glared at him. The Sara heard a male muffled voice saying;

"Laurel? You okay?" The male voice asked Laurel and sounded concerned

"Yes, my sister called." Laurel said covering the microphone of the phone with her hand thus her voice sounded muffled and then the male voice was heard again saying;

"I guess now I will have my grandson's full attention." He said laughing and Laurel chuckled at his answer.

Sara raised her eyebrows at the sound of the voice and looked at Oliver.

"Laurel?" Sara asked worried as she put her sister on speaker.

"Yes? Are you okay?" Laurel asked serious and Oliver frowned at the seriousness of her voice a second ago she was laughing.

"I found a picture of you and Tommy and Felicity and a boy toddler as a bookmark in one of the books I wanted to borrow...from when is it? Look pretty new." Sara asked suspicious and Laurel stayed silent.

"It's pretty old I reprinted because it got tore down. Actual I took it on Tommy's birthday before the Undertaking obviously and the boy is Felicity's nephew." Laurel said after a small silence and Sara and Oliver raised their eyebrows not saying anything.

"That is it, Sara?" Laurel asked after Sara didn't comment on the new information.

"Yes. Have fun!" Sara said too excited for her character or at least this new assassin Sara and hang up the phone and dropped the fake smile.

"She is lying." Oliver said the same time as Sara said;

"She knows about Tommy"

"I guess if she is okay then who are we to give a lecture on secrets, Oliver." Sara said after they stayed silent for awhile trying to process the turn of events.

"I guess you are right." Oliver sighed in defeat.

When did his life become so complicated?

"I think I will read this book though." Sara said trying to lift the mood in the room and smiled as she shook the book in her hand and looked at Oliver.

Back in Chicago Laurel was holding another copy of the book called "In her Dreams by Heather Dinah" but this copy had hard cover and she smiled proudly at it.

"Um...Laurel why did you call us up here? I have a bunch of dishes to clean." Felicity said wondering.

"I came bearing gifts actually. This book is dedicated to you and Connor and Grayson." Laurel said giving them the copy and smiled from ear to ear as she sat impatiently on the armchair looking at her friends as they examined the book.

"By Heather Dinah? Where did you find that book?" Connor asked confused.

"From my head." Laurel said smiling.

"What? Heather Dinah is you?" Connor exclaimed in shock as Felicity didn't even bother to engaged in her husband's shock since she was too engaged in reading the back cover and the dedication.

"Laurel this is amazing! Well done and thank you! I can't wait to read it!" Felicity said as tears crowed her eyelashes.

"You're welcome, Felicity. It's not published yet...next month is scheduled to be published you are the first readers actually. And it's the same book Sara found the photo in." Laurel said smiling apologetically.

"When did you came up with the story?" Connor asked her once he was done reading the back cover and the dedication.

"When my parents start fighting i didn't feel compelled to keep writing in my diary about my days so I started writing stories in there. This is one story I kept on developing for years. I started re-writing when I became sober and a friend from the very same group was a publisher. We got talking about books and I told her about my story, the one I was writing, and she got curious. I gave her a rough draft and the rest is history." Laurel explained with a proud smile and Connor hugged her.

"I can't wait to read it! I'm proud of you! Does Detective Lance know about the book?" Connor asked with a smile proud of his friend.

"No. No one does. Only you two." Laurel said smiling and then looked at Felicity who was biting her thumbnail while reading the first page of the story too caught up to understand her surroundings.

"Is it any good, honey?" Connor asked smirking after both Laurel and Connor studied her for a few minutes.

"What?" Felicity asked confused and looked up like a deer caught in the headlights.

"He asked if you like it so far." Laurel said chuckling and Felicity nodded excitedly and Laurel clapped her hands also excited while Connor stood up and walked to door where Grayson who eavesdropped the entire time.

"Can I read the book too, daddy?" Grayson asked with a cute pout on his face as Connor picked him up and they walked inside the room.

It was late at night and Grayson couldn't sleep because this was not his bed and he wanted...no needed his pillow and most of all his bed. So he walked around the second floor and admired the family photos and paintings.

Even though he didn't understand the concept of art yet but he liked the colors and pictures of ladies with long dresses. Then he saw light in his grandpa's office and he laughed to himself and run to his office thinking that his grandpa will tells him stories about his dad and other things and offers him cookies or chocolate pieces and even hot coco with marshmallows so he can go to sleep.

But as he came up to the door he heard his parents voices and he heard about a book. That is he asked his father about it.

Once Grayson walked inside the room it was sign that they should get to bed since the next day they were planning to get Laurel to Molly's and for sightseeing.

Laurel end up looking the ceiling of her room with a happy peaceful smile and mentally played the entire day satisfied with how it went. She was afraid things will be so awkward between her and Connor and his friends.

Those were the last thoughts before Laurel Lance fall asleep as for the Rhodes family Connor spoke to Felicity about how positively surprise he was of how the day turned out to be. Felicity smiled hearing how happy her husband was as she applied hand cream to her hand and shoulders.

"So, should we make the day even better and start the process for a new baby?" Connor asked smirking and started kissing her neck and she chuckled.

"Okay! Alright!" She giggled and then started kissing him.

The day came to an end like that, ladies and gentleman.
