Okay, the moment you've all been waiting for has arrived in this chapter. Hope you like it.
The time had come. After dropping Jasmine off with Laurel's parents, Oliver drove her and himself to Starling General, since Laurel's due date had arrived and since she'd felt her water break a few hours earlier, it was time.
Which was now Laurel once again found herself in a hospital bed as she went through her contractions, Oliver sitting right there by her side.
"How you doing?" Oliver asked her after her latest contraction.
"Let's just say the pain I am in right now, getting stabbed by Darhk is a close second, since at least that was only brief and once." Laurel said as she breathed heavily as her doctor came back in.
"Laurel, how are are you doing?" Dr. Gil asked.
"Wanting this to be over with already." Laurel said.
"Let's see how far along you are." Dr. Gil said as he checked how dilated Laurel was.
"Well?" Laurel asked.
"It looks like you've still got a ways to go." Dr. Gil said and Laurel nodded defeatedly as she laid back on her pillows.
"It'll be okay." Oliver promised her.
"I just can't wait to get these babies out of me." Laurel said.
"They'll be worth the wait." Oliver said.
"Do your parents know yet?" Laurel asked, since her's did and they promised to come and visit once Jasmine was dropped off at school.
"My mom knows and I'm sure that she's told my dad and Thea. Just try and relax as best you can." Oliver said.
"What about my sister and Tommy?" Laurel asked.
"I'll call them." Oliver assured her as he stepped out of the room to make the call.
6 hours and a lot of contractions later, Laurel was finally ready to push.
"Okay Laurel, here we go. On this next contraction, I want you to start pushing." Dr. Gil said and Laurel nodded as she felt her next contraction begin and she began to push with all the energy she had left and screamed in pain as she pushed the baby out.
"It's a boy." Dr. Gil said as Oliver cut the cord and Dr. Gil handed the baby off to a nurse to be washed off so he could focus delivering the second baby.
"Come on Laurel, just one more big push." Dr. Gil said and Laurel just nodded as she pushed with all her might and screamed as their second daughter exited her and entered the world.
"Congratulations, you have a son and daughter." Dr. Gill said as Oliver cut the second cord and then let the doctors take their daughter away with their son to be cleaned off.
When Quentin and Dinah arrived at the hospital with Jasmine, they found the Queens were already there.
"Any word?" Quentin asked.
"The twins were born about an hour ago and Laurel is resting comfortably. I'm sure she'd want her other daughter in there though." Robert informed him and Quentin nodded as he poked his head in the room to see Laurel laying back on her bed, exhausted and sweating with Oliver sitting at her side.
"Hey." Quentin said with a smile at his daughter.
"Hey." Laurel said simply.
"How you feeling baby?" Quentin asked.
"Sore, exhausted and overjoyed." Laurel said, though her speech was a little slurred, causing Quentin to look at Oliver.
"She's on pain meds to help her recuperate." Oliver explained and Quentin nodded.
"Well, are you up for company? Jasmine's been asking about her new siblings." Quentin said and Laurel smiled.
"Send her in." Laurel said and Quentin nodded as he opened the door completely and let Jasmine in and she ran up to her parents.
"Are you okay mommy?" Jasmine asked, just to have Oliver put a finger to his lips to tell her lower her volume a bit.
"I'm fine sweetheart, I just had a rough night, bringing your little brother and sister into the world." Laurel said and Jasmine grinned when she heard she had a little sister.
"Where are they?" Jasmine asked, looking around for her siblings.
"The doctors are making sure they're healthy, but they'll be brought in here soon." Laurel assured her.
"Quentin, a word?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah sure." Quentin said as Oliver pulled him aside.
"I still have to go fill out all the paperwork, such as birth certificates, could you and Dinah and my parents just keep Laurel company until I get back." Oliver asked.
"Of course." Quentin assured him as Oliver left the room.
Later on that day, John, Roy and Felicity arrived at the hospital, since Thea had texted them all earlier saying that the babies were here.
"Hey guys." Thea said as she quickly kissed Roy.
"Hey, is now a good time?" John asked.
"Go on in. The only visitor in there is Jasmine and the twins are still there to." Thea said as she opened the door.
"Hey guys." John said as they entered the room.
"Hey." Laurel said with a grin from where she was holding her newborn daughter in her arms and Oliver was holding their son and Jasmine was waiting patiently for her turn to hold one of her baby siblings.
"Aw." Felicity said.
"So, have you guys picked out names yet?" Roy asked.
"Since we had twins, we each got to pick a name. I chose Alexandra for our daughter." Laurel said as she looked down at the little miracle in her arms.
"And what about your son?" Felicity asked.
"William." Oliver said and they all knew the meaning behind that name.
"And you're okay with that?" John asked Laurel.
"I am Laurel said.
"What are their middle names?" Roy asked.
"William John and Alexandra Felicity." Laurel said and both John and Felicity were touched.
"You named your kids after us?" John asked.
"We did and before you ask, it was my idea to make Alexandra's middle name Felicity." Laurel said.
"Really, you named your daughter after your boyfriend's wife in another life?" Felicity asked.
"You still mean a lot to both of us Felicity. I mean, you were there for Oliver I wasn't able to and despite everything, you did take good care of him." Laurel assured her.
"And John, Laurel and I also have something to ask you." Oliver said.
"Sure man. What's up?" John asked.
"We want you to be William and Alexandra's godfather." Laurel said.
"Wait, seriously?" John asked.
"Absolutely. There's no one we trust more." Oliver said and John nodded.
"I'm honored guys." John said as Jasmine finally lost her patience.
"It's my turn to hold the baby now." Jasmine said and Oliver chuckled as he looked Laurel, who nodded.
"Who do you want?" Laurel asked.
"Alexandra." Jasmine said and Laurel nodded as Oliver then handed William to John, since he had the most experience handling babies, before gently lifting Alexandra out of Laurel's arms and after sitting Jasmine down, Oliver gently placed Alexandra in her arms and helped Jasmine support her.
"She's smiling at me daddy." Jasmine said with a grin as Alexandra opened her bright blue eyes and smiled at her big sister.
"She likes you. You're going to be a great big sister." Laurel said with a smile, causing Jasmine to beam at her.
