Summary: Oliver, Laurel, and Felicity are living the domestic life when Felicity might be pregnant after a year of trying and Tommy comes back from the dead and complicates things.

"Oliver, I need you to take Tommy to archery practice today," Laurel told him as she got ready for work.

As she put her first earring on, he looked to her, "I thought Felicity was supposed to be taking him today. I mean that's on the schedule, right?" He asked.

She shook her head and put her other earring on. "No, that's been you. Felicity has that meeting with the developers for her new gadget this afternoon, remember?"

"Well, then can you do it, because I have an afternoon meeting too." He said. He only said meeting because the baby was in the room and he didn't need her repeating words and then questions from Tommy that they would no doubt be unable to answer.

She looked at him with a 'are you for real face?', "Oliver, you know I can't. I have a case that's going to court today. And you said you'd do this."

"So he just gets to go because what you guys have is more important? I thought you both cared about this city. You'd think my wives would support me with this." Oliver pouted.

Laurel had no time for this. "Oliver, stop. Felicity and I are your wives and we have jobs too. We're making sure that everyone in this house gets fed. So you best believe that sometimes you have to take the kid to archery practice. Now, I will try to get out early, but if I can't, I need you to be able to handle it, understood?" Laurel said as she grabbed her briefcase.

"Fine," Oliver said as he looked to the baby. At least one of the women wasn't mad at him.

She went over and gave him a kiss. "I love you, even if you make me crazy. Have a good day with the baby." She told him as she went and kissed Felicity and got out of the house.

Felicity and Laurel got lunch together while Oliver tried to figure out how to rearrange things so he could get Tommy. "God, he was so whiny this morning."

"I don't even know, he's been stressed." Felicity said as she pushed her salad around.

Laurel looked to her. She didn't seem to be feeling good. "What's wrong?" She asked, worried about her wife. That was a weird thing to say. She had a wife. It was something she didn't think would happen. But Oliver and Laurel always needed someone else to balance them out and attraction to Felicity came pretty naturally. "Are you okay?"

"You know that I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, right?" She asked.

Laurel nodded. It had been on the calendar all week. "Yeah, I'm taking the kids to see the new pixar movie while you and Oliver are in the office. Is everything alright?"

"He's just stressed because well, I missed my period. And we've been trying for a year. We were gonna go anyway because we were going to test for fertility issues, because I really want a baby of my own, but he's just scared you know. My mom had complications in pregnancy. And if I'm pregnant, that could happen to me, and sometimes it was just easier when you were pregnant." She said.

Laurel took Felicity's hands into her own. "Were you guys scared to tell me you'd been trying for a baby?"

Felicity shrugged as she looked down at her food. "Oliver said that it would be better if we knew for sure before we told you that we could. He thought that you might get jealous. He was looking out for your feelings."

"Well," Laurel's features softened and she smiled a little, "You don't have to worry that I'm going to be jealous. I want you to have a baby. I want it to be something that you get to experience too. You're my wife. I want you to have that."

"You mean that?" Felicity asked.

Laurel nodded. "Of course I do. I love you, Lish."

"I love you too, Laure."

Felicity felt a little better and started pushing food into her mouth and Laurel finished up. They talked as Felicity finished up with her meal. They put the rest of what she couldn't finish in a to go box and parted ways.

The case took longer than Laurel thought and she rushed home. Oliver would of course want to kill her because she was supposed to cook dinner and she couldn't get out of court to tell him that she was going to.

She raced to her car and opened the door quickly. She wanted to get home to Felicity and Oliver and apologize profusely. She got into the driver's seat and went to put her briefcase in the back, when she realized she wasn't alone.

"Hi, Laurel," Tommy said as waved a little.

Laurel blinked her eyes and made sure she wasn't dreaming. She pinched herself. "oww," She said and Tommy chuckled. "You're real. You're real. How are you real? I saw you die. You died in my arms."

"Well, Dad spent a lot of time trying to get me back. He finally managed to about a year ago and I've been acclimating ever since." He told her. "You look great. Dad said you pushed out two kids recently."

"Yeah," Laurel said as she blushed. "Tommy Robert Queen-Lance-Smoak and Eleanor Adelaide Queen-Lance-Smoak." She told him.

"Queen-Lance-Smoak, you mean, you guys and the IT girl that Oliver liked?" He asked.

Laurel nodded. "Yeah, you know. We always needed someone else. It didn't work if we didn't."

"Yeah, I do remember that quite distinctly. Think you guys have a place for me in the love den still?" He asked. He'd been dead for years and so he knew they changed as people and they needed different things, but it was always the three of them. He wanted to be part of that again.

Laurel sighed. "If it was only me and him, it'd be no question. But we have to take Felicity into account and Oliver and I are tough already." She told him as she smiled, a little embarrassed. "Speaking of, he's gonna kill me, because I was supposed to make dinner tonight and I'm not home."

"You cook dinner now?" He asked, a little disbelief in his voice. Laurel's cooking was notorious for being terrible.

Laurel just glared at him. "That joke gets really old, you know?"

"I'm sorry," He apologized, "But we should probably get you home."

Laurel sighed. She wanted to go home, but she also didn't want to fight with Oliver again. This morning had been enough. "Where do you want to be dropped off?" She asked him.

"I want to go home with you."

"Are you sure?" She questioned.

He nodded. "There is nothing I wanted more in this world than to get back to you and Oliver."

She drove them home to the Queen mansion where they took care of Thea and the babies with Raisa and each other and she unlocked the car and took Tommy by the hand as she opened the front door and everyone was there.

"Laurel, I thought we had this argument last week, when you're gonna be late, you need to call-" Oliver started in with the yelling and then stopped when he saw both of them together. "Tommy?" He asked, quietly.

Felicity came down with Eleanor, "Look, Oliver, I told you to stay away from the door, the first thing she need is not you yelling at her. She just got out of court." She looked to all of them. "Tommy Merlyn."

"You must be Felicity," Tommy said as he smoothed on charm.

Felicity blushed. "I thought you were dead."

"I was," He said and shrugged. "It's complicated."

Laurel smiled to Oliver. "Sorry, about not calling. Court ran really late and I couldn't just whip out my phone in the middle of it. How about Pizza? It's gonna be quick to get someone to deliver to us. And then we can all talk?" She asked him as their son, peeked out of his father's legs.

"Mommy, who's dat?" He said with big eyes and a curious expression.

She went to pick up her son and hold him in her arms. "This, Tom, is who you're named after. He's daddy's and mommy's best friend. Tom, this is Tommy Merlyn, your godfather." She said as he lit up with delight and clapped. "Why don't you go play, though? Mommy's gonna get pizza."

"Pizza!" He exclaimed. "Do you want to see my trucks?" Little Tommy asked big Tommy as he pulled him to another room and Merlyn seemed delighted by someone who so unabashedly loved him.

Oliver came and stood by her, "So where'd you find him?" He asked.

"He was in my car when I got out of work. Which I'm sorry I couldn't call by the way. I didn't mean for it to go that late." She said to him. It was supposed to be an open and closed case, but it clearly hadn't been.

Oliver shushed her. "You just get pizza, we'll talk about the kinks later." He told her as he kissed her hair.

"On that note," Laurel stopped him before he left and went to go watch Tommy play. "You didn't have to be scared that I'd be jealous or weird about Felicity being pregnant. I care about both of you and she should get to experience that. Not just me."

"I just though, you had Tommy and Eleanor and it seemed like you were having the babies. And we don't exactly talk about what Felicity and I do when we're alone." He said, awkwardly, as he put his hands in his pants pockets and looked down.

She shook her head. "Oliver, we decided together that we were always better when there was someone else around. When we had someone else to bond with too. We did it with Tommy. And now we're doing it with Felicity. I didn't enter this life because I wanted just you. We'd be together with no one else if I wanted that. When there's someone else, we have a better connection."

"Guess, we have some things to talk about that aren't just about kinks, huh?" He asked.

She nodded. "Guess so."

The kids were fed and put into bed and the four adults who needed to talk about things settled in the living room.

"So," Tommy said, awkward, "I'm alive."

Oliver nodded. "You are alive. Do you need a place to stay?" He asked.

"Oliver, I know you're stupid, but you're not an absolute idiot. This is about something very different. If it had been about something as easy as a play to stay, we could have asked that in front of the kids."

Felicity blushed. "So it was the three of you before? I mean I know that it was the three of you before, but it was really the three of you before?"

"We didn't get that place down by the pier for nothing." He told her with a wink which made her blush more furiously.

Oliver nodded. "That would change our relationship paradigm." He told Felicity. "What he's asking, is to be included in this whole thing."

"What would that mean for me?" She asked them, looking a little glum, because she thought that Tommy being back would mean that she would have to leave the threesome.

Laurel chimed in this time. "Nothing. You're our wife. We married you. Even if it was a private ceremony. We did this because we love you. Whether we decide to bring Tommy into our marriage, you're a part of that now."

"I just thought that you and Oliver...it's always been you. It hasn't always been the three of us." She said as she twiddled with her fingers.

Laurel shook her head. "Where me and Oliver are concerned, you're concerned now too."

Oliver put his hand on Laurel's knee and squeezed. "She's right. We come as a package deal."

Felicity looked at the both of them and looked to Tommy and thought about it for a little bit. "I think we should do it." She told them.

"You do?" Oliver asked.

She nodded. "There's gonna be lots of changes to our relationship in the next year anyway, I mean whether or not I'm pregnant. I think that it would be best if we all had one person to rely on." She told them. "Also, you guys got the joy of meeting someone new in me. And I kind of want to know that joy. Tommy didn't really know me before this and I didn't know him. And that's exciting."

"Tommy, do you want the three of us?" Laurel asked.

He nodded vigorously. "I love you both so much. And I relish the chance to get to know this flower of delight you have in your life."
