Malcolm's plan to destroy the Glades, made Tommy die trying to protect Laurel and Oliver was gone after Tommy's funeral. Weeks after the burial of Tommy, Laurel wasn't passing a day without getting sick, she was closest to Diggle and Felicity, who encouraged her to go to the doctor. Thanks to them, Laurel discovered that she was pregnant. The news came at a good time, Laurel now had a reason to be strong. When Laurel was found that girl, and chose the name, Diana, which means "Full of divine light", meaning a very appropriate since the girl was already bringing light into Laurel's lives. With the help of Felicity and Diggle, Laurel set up the room for her daughter. The walls were in a light lilac shade, and white furniture. On the walls, there was the girl's name in wooden letters, and also had pictures of Laurel and Oliver. Quentin Lance tried to stand next to her daughter, but Laurel said she had to go through it alone, but actually she don't want her father saying that Oliver had abandoned her. But time was passing, missing little time for Diana was born, and Laurel couldn't stand the anxiety of seeing the face of her daughter.
Laurel was sleeping and woke up with her cell phone ringing. When picked up the phone saw it was Jo calling.
"Laurel?" Jo asked "I woke you?"
"Hi Jo" Laurel said sitting on the bed. "Yes, but it's okay."
"Ih, by your voice, you don't sleep at all."
"Diana had plans of leaving me awake all night." Laurel said running her hand on belly
"Sorry, go back to sleep then. I called you to ask you to leave."
"Jo, I'm not feeling well. Diana thinking tha she is a soccer player, I'd rather stay home."
"Okay then, just feel better, call me if you need."
"Ok."
"Bye Laur"
"Bye Jo."
Laurel hung up the phone and placed it on the dresser. And put hands on her belly.
"Diana, today will be just me and you."
Laurel stood up carefully from the bed and went to bathe. After showering , she went found something was eating.
Felicity and Diggle were in hiding beneath the Verdant. During the last six months, TThey helped Laurel and sought Oliver. They found no clue about Oliver until Amanda Waller had helped them to seek Oliver, but not found it. Felicity and Diggle were doing everything to find Oliver, they knew that the archer was alive and needed to bring it back to Starling.
"Jesus, where Oliver hid?" Felicity said laying his head on the computer keyboard
"Can I get a hint of where he is." A female voice said entering the cache, Diggle turned pointing the gun at the woman, and soon realized it was Nyssa, Sara and some murderers League. Felicity stood and walked toward Diggle.
"Diggle, calm, Nyssa is here to help." Sara said Diggle, who kept the gun
"Okay, what you know Nyssa?" Diggle spoke firmly
"Oliver Queen is in Hong Kong, along with Tatsu Yamashiro and her husband Maseo." Nyssa talking delivering some photos to Diggle and Felicity.
The pictures showed a couple of Chinese accompanied by a man wearing a dark hoodie. Both husband and wife were with katannas in hand, and the hooded man with a bow.
"As the league got those pictures?" Felicity asked
"A few weeks ago the League has been hearing talk of a vigilante group in China, but Ra's Al Ghul told us about Tatsu and Maseo. Tatsu is a swordman master, known as Katanna and her husband is a martial arts expert, but when we talk for him there was an archer along, he sent me along with Nyssa and a group of League members to investigate. "Sara explained
"So it really is Oliver?" Diggle asked
"Yes."
"You made contact with him?"
"No, Diggle."
"Sara what do we do?" Felicity asked
"Here's the address where you can find Oliver. Nyssa, I and they'll go together." Sara said, handing an envelope to Felicity.
Felicity opened the envelope and was looking for the address on the computer while Diggle talking with Sara and Nyssa Diggle
After showering and eating something, Laurel went to Diana's room and started packing some things of her daughter. Diana still kicked a lot. Laurel took a photo and start to look, she was with Oliver and tears started to stream down on your face.
"Why did you disappear right now Ollie?" Laurel said wiping her face. Laurel realized that Diana stopped kicking, and put her hand on belly. "Diana, it's okay, no need to be sad, daddy did it to protect us." Laurel felt her daughter kicking slightly.
The doorbell rang Laurel's apartment. Laurel put the photo in place and lifted. Laurel looked through the peephole and saw it was Felicity and Diggle and opened the door. Felicity hugged her, as Diggle and Laurel closed the door.
"Are you okay?" Felicity asked to see that Laurel was crying
"Yes I am, are just hormones, but what are you doing here?"
"Laurel, we need to go to China." Diggle said
"It is because of Oliver?"
"Yes, we found a person who might know where he is."
Laurel put her hand on her belly and smiled
"How you managed to find this person?"
"Amanda Waller told us about this person. You know better than anyone that Oliver wasn't 5 years on the island, and you also know that Amanda helped Oliver to stay in Hong Kong. And she investigated and found again that personnel. "
"Because it took so long to find this person because she isn't the easiest people to find."
"She's is a woman?" Laurel asked
"It's actually a couple, but will meet with the woman."
"When are you going?"
"Shortly, we just pass here to warn you." Diggle was interrupted by Felicity
"Actually, we've got to go."
"Laurel, you'll be okay?" Laurel nodded "I asked Carly came to see you everyday."
"Diggle, didn't have to bother Carly with me."
"It will just move here before going to work during the days that we're out."
"Okay"
Felicity hugged Laurel and rubbed her belly. "Bye Laurel, bye Diana."
"Bye Liss."
Diggle also hugged Laurel and said goodbye"Bye Laurel."
"Bye Diggle. Novelty Any call me."
"Sure," the two replied together and left the apartment, Laurel closed the door and was finish packing Diana's clothes.
Felicity and Diggle quickly arrived at the airport, where Nyssa, Sara and some league assassins. The killers entered the plane.
"I don't feel comfortable traveling with 6 assassins. With Nyssa and you I am fine, but not with them." Felicity said looking at Nyssa, who smirked at her. Sara hugged Felicity
"Everything will be fine. Who Laurel and baby are?"
"She was fine, with a tired but fine appearance. I think Diana didn't leave her sleep very well."
"Sara, you should let her know that you are alive." Diggle said
"But I can't." Sara looked down
The four boarded the plane, which took off in order to Hong Kong
Oliver sat on the floor, looking at the old photo of Laurel.
"You miss her, you should come home." A male voice said to Oliver. Oliver looked up, it was with eyes full of tears.
"I should, but I can't Maseo."
"Oliver, the whole time you were here, you never said why you can't go home for the woman you love." Masea Yamashiro said sitting in front of Oliver
"I just can't."
Tatsu heard everything behind the door and entered.
"Oliver, how do you think this person's life? They may be needing you more than you think. Gets you looking at that picture and crying, but didn't have the courage to picking up the phone to warn that this woman you are well, or it's alive. You don't know if she has any news to give you. "
During the 6 months that Oliver was there, he had never spoken about Laurel, even quote her name, but Tatsu and Maseo was right. He didn't know what people were going to Starling, but he still couldn't return. Not yet.
"Laurel, her name is Laurel. We know each other since forever, I guess. We were dated for a longtime, things were getting serious, Laurel was ready for us to live together, but I wasn't, I thought to betray her, with her sister, and asked her to go on the boat trip with me, she accepted. before the boat left, Laurel appeared in the harbor and gave me this picture and told me that she loved me. I realized the mistake I had made, but gave no more time to change things. Sara ended up with us on the trip, but nothing happened. When I was on the island, I thought I was the only survivor of the boat, but a year later Sara appeared. When I came back to Starling, Laurel was angry with me, I explained everything, and I was lucky that she believed, because Sara had called her and told her all while we was in the boat, a few months later we were back together and all this bad things happened in Starling. "Oliver told crying
"Oliver, is there anything else that you aren't telling." Tatsu said
"Laurel ... Laurel was ..." Oliver took a deep breath and looked at Tatsu "She was pregnant. When she learned of the accident. She suffered a miscarriage." Oliver began to cry more and Tatsu embraced.
"Oliver there are things you can't keep to yourself." Maseo said
"I know." Oliver said. Tatsu left the hugged and left the room, followed by Maseo.
"Sorry Laurel, sorry for all, sorry for make you lose the baby." Oliver said to himself as he looked the picture.
Oliver had opened with Tatsu and Maseo and counting on the baby that Laurel had lost. Only Laurel and Oliver knew about it, not even Laurel's parent knew, she wasn't telling to anyone else, just for Oliver when he returned from the island, but Oliver had to tell this to Tatsu and Maseo, they would help to Oliver overcome this.
Laurel had finished packing Diana's clothes and was reading a book and watching TV to pass the time. Diana was calmer in the afternoon, but Laurel couldn't sleep.
During the trip, Diggle, Felicity, Sara and Nyssa spoke together, and came up with a plan to reach Tatsu and Maseo, meanwhile the killers spoke together. After forming a plan, Nyssa spoke to all the murders and returned to sit next to Sara. The plan was easy, the killers would be watching Felicity and Diggle, which would go to the house of Tatsu and Maseo and would talk with them. Explain why they were there and try to convince them to let them talk to Oliver.
