When Laurel woke up and found that Sara's mission was over she was thrilled, and she was even more thrilled to hear that her sister had started seeing somebody while on this crazy time ship. When she found out Sara was pregnant however, thrilled isn't exactly the emotion she showed. At first her reaction was very similar to Stein's in that she accused Sara of lying. Sara tried to tell Laurel that she was in fact telling the truth but clearly her sister was in denial. Even when she was shown the ultrasound picture Laurel still couldn't believe that Sara was pregnant, but when she finally did accept the facts she nearly murdered Snart. When they all returned home they were shocked to discover that after the defeat of Darhk most of team Arrow had disbanded, only Oliver and Felicity had remained.

Ollie took the news of Sara's pregnancy about as well as Laurel had, although it may have gone slightly better because once the denial had passed he didn't try and kill the father. Felicity, by far, reacted the most positively to the news; giving Sara a hug once she got over the shock. They called Captain Lace, and considering he nearly fainted with the pure shock of Laurel being alive Sara decided to hold off on the baby bomb for a little while longer. But as she moved to Central City and found an apartment with Len, a job at S.T.A.R. Labs as a weapons specialist (which after Len found out about he begged her to go work literally anywhere else.) she started to lose track of time and how long it had been since she'd seen her father last, but it wasn't long before she was reminded that her time to tell him was running out.

Although Sara would never admit this out loud, she's actually more conscious of her body and her figure than most people would think. It's not really her fault; she was born on the lighter side of a healthy baby weight at seven pounds and three ounces and she then grew to become one of those little girls who has nothing to her other than skin and bones. She got lucky during puberty and filled out in such a way that it didn't leave her with a single stretch mark. Long story short, she had always been relatively thin and never weighed more than 125 pounds. She knew, she always knew, that pregnancy was going to change that but just because she knew it was coming doesn't mean she wasn't a little surprised when it finally started to.

She first noticed it one morning when she stripped off her shirt in order to take a shower, just happening to catch her reflection in the bathroom mirror at such an angle that made her freeze. It wasn't visible when she had clothes on, especially not under the baggy t-shirt she had worn to bed, but she noticed that her lower belly was protruding slightly as though she were bloated. She knew, of course, that she wasn't bloated and she wasn't simply getting fat either. She looked at her reflection in awe, not yet daring to look down and study the small bump without aid of the mirror yet. It felt as if after all these weeks of throwing up, which thank god had finally started to settle down, she had earned this. She had earned the right to see proof of her baby from the outside, proof that didn't leave a vile taste on her tongue.

It was at that moment that her phone began going off and when she looked at the I.D. her father's image came up and thus reminded her of something she needs to take care of, and by the looks of things she needs to do it soon.

"Hello," she answered the phone,

"Hey sweetie, are you busy tomorrow night?" He asked, after all the business with Damian Darhk was over and Quentin was unfortunately discharged from the SCPD, he had been staying with Donna at her place outside of Las Vegas but he had been talking about coming up to visit soon; well apparently soon had come.

"Um, I don't know, why?" She asked,

"Donna and I are going to Laurel's and she asked that I call and invite you and that boyfriend of yours." He explained, not sounding too thrilled to be inviting Len. He's a former detective, so he's looked him up since their first meeting, and he was less than impressed by the criminal record that he found. Sara, Laurel, Felicity, Oliver (whose still a little skeptical himself), and even Barry had tried telling him that Leonard has changed but it's always futile. They all know that Quentin is just going to have to get used to him with time; and maybe if it weren't for the fact that the crook had knocked Sara up they just might stand a chance at that.

"Um, yeah that sounds great." She said, no it doesn't sound great, but better to tell her dad in person about the baby than over the phone.

Once she hung up with him she took her shower and got dressed, making a mental note that her although her clothes weren't feeling too tight yet the fact that she could see the beginning's of her baby bump probably means that she should get some new clothes soon. With that in mind she grabbed her purse and slipped on her shoes and headed out of the apartment.

When Dinah Lance heard that her oldest daughter was alive, she was overjoyed. The first thing she had done was call out of work and hop the first train to Star City to see Laurel. She had only stayed a few days, but it was still amazing to see her daughter again. Now, that same feeling was almost replicated when her younger daughter came knocking on the open door of her office with a smile.

"Sara!" Dinah exclaimed,

"Hi mom," Sara said as her mother stood from her chair and hurried to give her a hug.

"What are you doing here? Is everything ok?" She asked as she pulled away and laid a hand on Sara's cheek as though to study it for tears.

"Everything's fine mom," Sara laughed, "Don't worry nobody's dead," she assured her, wanting to add that the reason for her visit is in fact the exact opposite situation.

"I was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop by and see if you had time to go out to lunch?" She asked and at first her mother seemed very surprised by the offer, but soon enough a smile was spreading across her face.

"Sure, just let me finish grading these last few papers." She agreed and Sara nodded,

"Take your time," Sara said, just because she needs to do this doesn't mean she isn't going to put it off for as long as she can.

"So how long are you in Central City for?" Dinah questioned her daughter roughly an hour later while the two of them were seated in a booth at a pub that Len had shown her. Dinah had been a bit skeptical at first but Sara insisted that the food was good. She was thankful that her mom took her at her word, because she didn't want to admit that the real reason she was so instant on going there was because she was desperately craving a burger from the place.

"Um, I'm actually living here." Sara answered through a mouth half full of her lunch.

"Living here like crashing with a friend for a few nights or-"

"Living here like I'm done traveling," Sara cut her mom off, trying to contain her own smile when she saw the beaming excitement on the older woman's face.

"Honey that's great!" She congratulated, "When, how long have you been here?" She asked, she had seen Sara in Star City a month ago when she went to visit Laurel, so she knew it couldn't have been that long.

"About a month," she admitted, not surprised at all when her mother's face fell. "I came about two days after you left Star City," she continued, now her mother just looked plain offended. "I know I should've told you I was moving here sooner but I just wanted to get everything settled first," she said in defense and while Dinah still didn't look happy about not being informed, she nodded.

"Alright," she finally said whilst picking at her fries. "Well considering I was mostly focused on Laurel the last time I saw you, which I apologize for-"

"Mom, you thought she was dead for two months, don't be sorry." Sara interrupted, her mother still doesn't know about the time traveling or even that Laurel is Black Canary, so she only thought Laurel was dead whereas Quentin had figured out that it probably wasn't a coincidence that his time traveling daughter had heard the news of her sister's death only for said sister to show up alive a few hours later.

"Still, I never got to ask you where you've been." Dinah said, just because she doesn't know about time travel doesn't mean she didn't know her younger daughter had been traveling.

"I went to a lot of places," Sara answered cryptically, "And I uh… I met someone." She confessed, nearly regretting it when her mom got this knowing gleam in her eye.

"Met someone?" She asked tauntingly,

"Mom!" Sara groaned in embarrassment, suddenly wishing that Snart hadn't been back in Central City by the time her mom showed up in Star City but he had to go pick up Lisa because her latest prison sentence was up.

While Felicity was currently the placeholder for best reaction to the pregnancy, Lisa had by far had the most comical reaction. They'd told her a few days after Sara came up, and her first response was to slap Len. She then asked Sara if it was true and when the blonde confirmed it she slapped her brother again. After that she asked a few standard questions like "when?" and "are you keeping it?" and all that stuff. Once that was taken care of she congratulated them both and hugged Sara first and then Leonard, and upon pulling away she slapped him one more time.

"I just want to know," Dinah defended, pulling Sara out of her memories. "What are they like?" She asked and Sara beamed, maybe she could do this.

"First off, his name is Leonard." She started and her mom nodded, signaling her to continue. "I met him while I was traveling, he's a good guy and we were friends for while before we decided to be together. But um, before that decision was made we did kind of hook up once." She admitted and in response Dinah chuckled uncomfortably,
"Honey, while I am very well aware neither you nor your sister are a virgin, I don't really need that information." She said and Sara cringed, here comes the hard part.

"Normally no," she agreed, "But in this case I think you should because turns out… I'm pregnant." She finally just spat it out and for a moment her mom just stared at her. "Mom?" She finally asked after a full minute when it really didn't look like Dinah was going to respond. "Mom?" She asked again, "Earth to Dinah," she said, beginning to snap her fingers in the older woman's face and that finally got a response, even if it was in the form of Dinah simply swatting away her daughter's hand.

"Are you?… Honey you're not together just because of that are you?" She finally asked and with surprised eyes, because that was not the first thing she had expected her mother to say, Sara began shaking her head.

"No, us being together was a long time coming and it would've happened anyways." She assured her, and she truly believed it.

"Good," Dinah said with a nod, slowly getting her bearings. "How far along are you?" She asked,

"Thirteen weeks," Sara replied with a cringe, knowing her mother was going to be upset she didn't tell her while they were in Star City. "Dad doesn't know yet either," she admitted and that sparked her mom's attention, "I'm telling him tomorrow night, Leonard and I are going down to Laurel's because she invited dad over." She said and at that her mom chuckled,

"He'll try and arrest your boyfriend," she warned and Sara smirked,

"Oh believe me, he's already threatened to." She said to which Dinah looked confused.

"He knows about Leonard, he does not know about the baby." Sara clarified and her mother nodded.

"Well good luck telling him," she said,

"Thanks," Sara replied.

"So when can I meet this Leonard?" Dinah asked and Sara thought on the question.

"Soon," she promised, "After we get back from Star City and dealing with dad." Her mom seemed to accept that answer and so with that said they continued on with their lunch as if today were just a normal day.

"I told my mom today," Sara said later on that night while she and Len were curled up on the couch and watching Game of Thrones, which was currently on commercial.

"Oh yeah, how did she take it?" He asked, he had his arm around her shoulders and he pulled her just ever so closer when she started to shift in her seat.

"Surprisingly well," she told him, settling down with her head now on his shoulder.

"Is that any indication on how your father is going to take it?" He asked and she sighed,

"Well my parents have always been polar opposites, so whatever my mom is ok with dad usually has a problem." She said and now it was Len's turn to sigh.

"You're sure I can't stay behind?" He asked, "Or we can't just tell him over the phone?"

"No," Sara laughed, "It won't be that bad, at any rate we'll at least have Laurel on our side." She said and Len hummed in agreement. "Hey," Sara said, looking up at him with a playful gleam in her eye. "I have something to show you," she said and he arched a curious eyebrow at her.

"What's that?" He inquired and so with a smile Sara readjusted herself so that she was lying on her back with her head in his lap. Once she was settled she reached down and rolled shirt up to her chest.

At first Len didn't quite know what exactly he was supposed to be looking at but he also is not an idiot and so obviously when she pulled up her shirt he looked to her belly. At first he didn't see anything out of the ordinary but then he noticed that normally the base of her rib cage is usually more defined than it appeared to be right now, of course it could've just been the way she's lying. It really just looked as though she were holding her breath in order to puff out her stomach ever so slightly, but based on how relaxed her face was he knew that this was also not the case. That left him with only one possible conclusion, and when he came to it he bent down and kissed her lips. He then pulled away and kissed her again, only this time he went further down and kissed her stomach. When she giggled lightly in response to the tickle of his lips on her bare flesh he decided to keep at it until somewhere between him slowly working his way up her body and her slowly inching her way down the couch they met face to face and he found her lips again. By this point he was half on top of her but he was mindful to brace most of his weight on the couch. He slipped his thumbs under her bra as they kissed and, despite her reluctance to stop kissing him, she pulled away just long enough for him to slip that and her shirt over her head. She then crashed her lips back to his and began pulling at the back of his shirt until he broke their kiss long enough to help her get it off.

"Are you ready?" Len asked as he and Sara walked hand in hand down the hall to Laurel's apartment.

"Don't have much of a choice now do I?" She asked with a sigh,

"Ok so you're about as ready as I am," he mused and she smirked, purposely leaning into him and causing them both to stumble a step or two.

They knocked on the door and Laurel answered,

"Hey guys," she greeted them, giving Sara a hug and smiling at Len.

"Hey, dad here yet?" Sara asked and Laurel nodded while releasing her from the hug.

"Yup," she answered,

"Is everything ok?" Sara asked, not missing the frustration in her sister's voice.

"Oh yeah it's just Felicity and Oliver got into a fight and now Donna and Felicity are going at it and we can't have one family dinner without fighting can we?" She asked and Sara chuckled,

"No we can't," She answered as her and Len stepped into the apartment. It didn't really surprise her that Felicity and Ollie were here; she'd expected Laurel to invite Felicity because her mom would want to see her and with both his teammates held up at family dinner what else was Oliver supposed to do on a Friday night? He's kind of outgrown the whole club scene, and besides it's a known fact that when Laurel has to suffer so does Oliver sooner or later. He either goes through it with her or listens to her rant about it afterwards.

As they entered the apartment Sara noticed that Laurel was right and Donna and Felicity were standing in the kitchen arguing over some nonsense.

"And I thought my family dinners were loud," Len whispered into Sara's ear. She smirked at the idea of him, Mick, and Lisa all gathered around some fold out table or something else that was haphazardly assembled and trying to have a family dinner.

"They'll get over it eventually," Oliver assured as he approached the two and shook Len's hand before pulling Sara in for a hug. "Are you going to tell him tonight?" He whispered into her ear.

"Yup," she whispered back, as he released her he sent her a look that said good luck.

Dinner went reasonably well for a total of five minutes, and then former captain Lance opened his mouth.

"So Leonard, what have you been up to lately?" He asked, ever since he discovered Len's record he seemed to have made it his personal mission to prove that he hadn't changed.

"Dad," Laurel pleaded with her father,

"I've been working with a friend of mine installing air-conditioners and fixing furnaces, that kind of stuff." The ex-crook replied, and it was true. He had an old prison buddy who turned his life around two years ago and started a business, Len knew when he left the guy had been looking for some help and now he figured, why not? He talked to the guy and he gave him a chance and so far things were going pretty good.

"Where'd you learn to do that?" Quentin asked,

"Dad give it a rest," Sara practically snarled,

"I don't know actually," Leonard admitted, completely ignoring his girlfriend very much like he had her sister. "Somewhere between breaking in and out of places, and having been the one to install and repair almost every appliance we ever had in our house growing up." He said and Sara could see it in her father's face that he was trying to find something else to pick at, so she decided to beat him to the punch.

"So not that this isn't fun but why did you ask us all to come here tonight?" She questioned, prompting everyone to look over at Quentin who turned to Donna, who nodded back to him. He took a deep breath, as if he was nervous.

"Donna and I have decided to get married," he announced, gaining a varying degree of reactions.

In order from worst to best it would've started with Felicity, who was choking on her meatloaf. The next would probably be Sara with her eye about a mile out of her head, after that would come Laurel who was clearly stunned speechless. Next you had Oliver who was too distracted by hitting Felicity on the back to give his own response to the news, and finally Len whose face had hardly changed at all with the announcement, in fact he actually looked a little more comfortable than he had before.

"Uh…" Laurel finally got out,

"Felicity-"

"I'm fine mom," Felicity cut off her mother while swatting Oliver away from her. "I'm fine just… wow." She said, still choking a little bit.

"Should we still tell them that you're pregnant?" Len whispered to Sara,

"Might as well, just give them a minute." Sara whispered back and Len nodded.

"Come on, are you all really this upset?" Quentin asked once Felicity managed to get air back into her lungs.

"We're not upset," Laurel assured her father,

"Just surprised," Oliver added and Felicity and Sara nodded their agreements.

"Yeah when did you guys decide this?" Felicity asked,

"Well after a few weeks of living together we realized that neither one of us wants to be alone for the rest of our lives and we've been dating for awhile so we figured, why not?" Donna explained, "And it's just going to be a small wedding," she quickly added.

"Right, probably just us and you kids." Quentin added on,

"I just have one request," Sara spoke up, taking her father's claim as a good enough cue to work her and Leonard's own news into the evening.

"And what's that?" Her dad asked, honestly expecting her to make some kind of a joke about this.

"Would you mind waiting until after your grandchild is born to get married so they can be there?" She asked, Laurel faced palmed at her sister's decision to reveal her pregnancy right now while her father and soon to be stepmother just stared at her.

"What?" Quentin finally asked, "Sara, what are you talking about?" He continued to question but an excited smile was quickly spreading across Donna's face as she connected the dots.

"Mom, mom, mom." Felicity said urgently, hoping to maybe calm her mother but with no such luck.

"Are you?" The older woman asked in excitement and Sara nodded, causing Donna to squeal while her fiancé just sat there motionless even as she grabbed his arm in excitement.

"I think his heart might have stopped," Len half joked when Sara's father still showed no reaction other than staring at his daughter.
