Oliver and John were sparring in the foundry while Felicity attempted to work, only to be annoyed.
"Oliver, can we please find a bigger lair? I mean the foundry was never meant to house as many people as this." Felicity said.
"She has a point Oliver. The bunker may have been infiltrated more times than this place, but it was designed to be used by more people." John said.
"Well, it helps that our friend Cisco has joined the Beyonded club, as have Barry, Iris and Caitlin. I'm working with him on designing a new base, so just deal with this one a bit longer." Oliver chuckled.
"So, where's Laurel, I thought she was training with you guys today?" Felicity asked.
"She's been feeling a little weird lately, so I got her to go to the doctor." Oliver said.
"Weird how?" John asked, although he did have his suspicions.
"We both already have our suspicions, but she's going to the doctor to confirm it." Oliver said, already knowing what John was thinking.
"Sounds like you'll get another chance at something else you were good at before much sooner this time. And that's why I'm glad I can finally say that I found Diaz." Felicity said and Oliver immediately gave her his full attention.
"Where is he?" Oliver asked.
"He's at the same place Cayden James was using as a headquarters before his death." Felicity said.
"John, you and I are going to go do recon on the base right now so we can see what we're dealing with. Once we're done, we'll plan an attack on his headquarters and take out the Dragon once and for all." Oliver said and John and Felicity nodded.
"I'll tell Laurel you're working late and let her figure out what stupid and reckless thing you're doing." Felicity said.
"Thank you for that." Oliver said as he and John moved to suit up.
After her doctor's appointment, Laurel decided that she'd better tell Oliver the results quickly, so she headed to the foundry, but to her half surprise, only Felicity was in the foundry and Oliver and John's suits were gone.
"Felicity, do I want to know where Oliver and John are?" Laurel asked.
"Probably not, but do you want me to tell you anyways?" Felicity asked.
"Yes." Laurel said immediately.
"I got a hit on Ricardo Diaz's location and now Oliver and John are currently doing recon on his base of operations to get a better idea of we'll be dealing with when we take him down." Felicity said and Laurel actually sighed in relief.
"That's actually not the worst thing I can think of him doing right now, since he's actually being cautious." Laurel said.
"So, what did the doctor say?" Felicity asked, changing the subject.
"Since no offense, you can be a bit chatty at times, I'll wait until Ollie gets back to tell you all at once." Laurel said.
"Then you can end the suspense because we just got back." Oliver said as he and John entered the foundry, both of them with their hoods down.
"How'd it go?" Felicity asked.
"You can access the footage from the suits' body cams so we can review it with the others, but I think we got a pretty look at what we're facing in there. Now, how did things go at the doctor?" Oliver asked as he kissed Laurel.
"Dr. Gill confirmed our suspicions. I'm pregnant." Laurel said.
"Are you okay with that?" Oliver asked and Laurel shrugged.
"I don't know how I feel. I mean, I figured that one day we'd have kids, but now is probably when you guys need me in the field the most, but I can't be a member of the team while I'm pregnant and even so, I have no idea how to be a mom. I thought we'd have years and be actually married before we even thought about having children." Laurel said as Oliver gently placed his hands on her shoulders.
"Laurel, calm down. I never thought I'd ever be a father, let alone a decent one, but I did it once with William and I'd like to think I was a good one. It took some work, but I managed to figure out how to balance being a parent, being the mayor and being the Green Arrow and it was worth it. But I'm not going to force you to go through with the pregnancy, since it's your body, it's ultimately your call." Oliver said.
"It's really worth it?" Laurel asked and Oliver nodded.
"He's right Laurel. I felt the same way when Lyla and I raised JJ." John said and Felicity nodded her agreement.
"I need some time to think about this." Laurel said.
"Take all the time you need." Oliver assured her and Laurel smiled as she walked out.
"You can't deny she had a point Oliver. If Laurel does decide to keep the baby, she'll be out of action for a while and she's kind of our heaviest hitter." John said.
"We took Malcolm, Slade, Ra's and Darhk out without any powers and we can do it again. Besides, Laurel being pregnant means she has to sit out for a while, which means she'll be safe and out of immediate danger." Oliver said and John nodded at that logic.
"If she does decide to keep the baby, do you think it will be a boy or a girl?" Felicity asked.
"I'm kind of hoping for a boy, since I've already got a little bit of practice in that regard." Oliver said.
"And I'm guessing if it's a girl, you'll ask Barry to go back in time and do something to change that." John asked and Oliver laughed.
"No way, if it's a girl, then that makes no difference to me, the only reason why I'd prefer a son is simply because I have more experience in that regard." Oliver said, right as Laurel re entered the foundry.
"That didn't take long. Have you already made your decision?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah, I have." Laurel said.
Sorry, but this was too good a place to not stop with a cliffhanger.
