He saw Laurel in the bathroom and saw her pacing back and forth and wondered what she could be doing.
He knocked on the door and she looked up and nodded. He opened the door a little wider. "What's going on? You seem tense." Oliver asked.
If Oliver noticed, then it was bad. She sighed. "Do you promise that you're not gonna freak out when tell you, because I don't think I can deal with you and this at the same time. I thought it would be quick and easy, but it wasn't."
"You can tell me anything couer. I'm always gonna support you," He said as he sat on the toilet.
She nodded. He said he could handle it and so she trusted him. She bent over and picked the box up from the trashcan. "I missed my last period," She told him.
He looked at the box, bright pink with graphic turquoise ribbons and black letters on it. First response. Missed period. "So you think?" He asked, as he looked at the test and then looked back up to her.
She nodded. "I'm figuring it out now," She told him.
"How many more minutes?" He asked.
She looked at her cell phone and sighed. "Two minutes." She looked at the test wrapped in toilet paper on the counter and looked to him. "This is the longest three minutes of my life."
"And I thought I was the one who shared that moment with you." He chuckled.
He took her hands in his and sat her down on his lap. "You know, we're gonna to be able to handle whatever comes of this. You and I have always figured out what we wanted to do."
"I don't know how to be a mom. What if I'm terrible at it?" She asked as she leaned into him.
He shook his head. "Not possible. You, my darling, are a fierce protector. And if you want, we don't have to do this now. We can be a family later in life."
"You wouldn't be mad if I didn't want this baby?" She looked up to him and blinked. She knew his priorities and family was first.
He shook his head. "You, Laurel Lance, are my family, and if you don't want to have this baby, I'm gonna support you. I'm just glad you told me. It does have me a little bit excited that we could parents though. When I was the island, I always thought about what it would be like to have a baby with you," He whispered in her ear and kissed her temple.
"Your belief in me is amazing," She said as a tear rolled down her face and into his shirt.
He shook his head. "My belief in you is well proven. You are the best thing to ever happen to me." He told her and pushed her hair around, because comforting her became his life.
"You know," Laurel said as she snuggle a little deeper into him. "You are the best thing to happen to me too,"
He laughed. "I'm sure your father would care to debate with you on that one."
"He'd lose. I live to argue," She said as she wiped a few of the tears from her face and gave him a kiss before the timer went off. She turned it off and smiled to him. "Are you ready to see if we're having a baby?" She asked him.
He patted her bottom and she got up. "Can I do the honors?" He asked.
"I'd love for you to do it, because I don't know what I want." She told him as she moved her gaze from him to her feet.
He held her chin and made her look at him. "We're gonna be fine. Whatever you choose. We're gonna be fine. You and I will deal with it, once we know the answer," He told her.
He gently unfolded the toilet paper and opened the little booklet and she picked at her nails. He hadn't said something in a long time and she couldn't believe that it could be that hard to tell, "So, what't the verdict?" She asked him.
He looked over his reading and smiled and then looked back at the stick. "So, one dot is not pregnant. Two dots is pregnant. And we have two dots," He told her.
"Oh my god," Laurel said as she realized that their was a little baby with parts of both of them in her. There was a little person who was going to come into the world and share both of their names. "We have a baby. We have a baby. We have a baby."
"And?" He asked.
She jumped into his arms, "We're gonna have a baby. We're gonna be parents."
He started crying then and he twirled her in his arms as he brought her up to bridal style and gave her a kiss. "You have made me the luckiest man on the planet." They were gonna be parents. He was going to have a little person who was part of him.
He started to take her to the bedroom and she clucked at him. "I need my cell phone." She told him.
"I thought maybe we could wait on that part." He told her.
She shook her head. "If you think that my dad would let you live when he realized that I didn't tell him right away because you wanted to have sex, you have another thing coming. Besides, I want tell Felicity and Sara too." She told him
"You know I'm not so scared of your father." He said as he puffed up his chest.
She giggled. "Sure you're not. Which is why I always have to call him if you have something important you need from each other. You're both scared."
"Only because we have the best woman in common. And we know you could kick our ass."
He put her down on her feet and she went back in and grabbed her cellphone in one hand. When she came back out, she took his hand in her other one. "I'm glad it was you."
