Dear Elizabeth,

     You understand that I know my rights, right? You can come for me, you can question me, but the only thing you have me on is mistelling a story.
     If you really knew me, you'd know I stay true to my family. 
     If you think you are making the country safe by coming after me and my family, you're as blind as your boss. There is a real threat in the Glades, something that not even your silly badge can stop. 

Regards,
Laurel

PS.
You want to talk to me? Try finding me...

"Analyze the writing, make sure it's hers," Elizabeth said handing off the letter before heading to her office. "It's not looking good"

"What do you mean?" Angel asked.

"Confirmation the Darhks are raging war on other mobs" Elizabeth sighed. "Laurel is caught in the middle"

"Are we talking Monument like war?" Angel asked.

"Worse" Elizabeth pinned a photo of Laurel up on the board. "4 versus 2"

Laurel sat with Malcolm, Thea, Roy, Sara, and Veronica on the back porch of the mansion. Thea was going over wedding ideas for her own wedding now. "Red" Roy said.

"Red and white" Thea pointed. 

"Red, white, and black," Malcolm said.

"I love it," Thea said.

"Sounds great" Oliver came out.

"OLLIE!" Thea cheered, jumping up and hugging her brother. 

"Hey, speedy" Oliver smiled, Kara coming out behind him.

"Welcome back" Laurel stood up, Kara hugging her. "I thought you were going to stay on your honeymoon longer"

"We were going to, but word got to us pretty fast about the war," Kara said, "You were kidnapped?"

"Uh, yea" Laurel nodded.

"Are you okay?" Oliver asked.

"I'm alive" Laurel shrugged.

"Thankfully" Malcolm came over, "She shot Damien in the shoulder"

"What!?" Kara asked.

"My aim sucked" Laurel sighed.

"Still, you shot Damien Darhk," Oliver said.

"Enough about the Darhks, we have other stuff to talk about," Laurel said.

"Right! Your engaged" Kara said, "Congratulations"

"Thanks" Thea smiled.

"Come on, lets plan"

After a day of relaxing with everyone, Laurel retreated to her room with Malcolm and Slade following. "I don't think I've ever heard Thea talk that much before," Slade said.

"She's been waiting for her wedding for years," Laurel said, she sat on the bed, pulling out a book.

"Chances are she'll get married before us," Slade said.

"Most likely," Malcolm said. 

They were getting ready for bed when a small knock came at the door. Slade opened the door to see Juliana clinging to her stuffed animal. "Hello" Slade greeted.

"Is my dad here?" Juliana asked. 

"Hey, sweetie" Malcolm came over and bent down to her height, "What's up?"

"Can I sleep with you tonight? Mom snores loudly" Juliana asked. Malcolm looked at Slade and Laurel.

"Come here, sweetie" Laurel smiled. Julianna ran over, jumping onto the bed and cuddling up to Laurel.

Slade laid on the other side of Laurel while Malcolm laid on the other side of Juliana. "Good night" Juliana smiled.

"Good night"

~

Laurel helped Juliana cut her pancakes, Juliana smiling. "You want some syrup?" Laurel asked.

"Yes please!" Juliana nodded.

"Morning!" Thea came in, "Hey, little sis"

"Morning, Thea!" Juliana cheered.

"Are we still down for going and looking for dresses for me today?" Thea asked.

"I can't, there's a warrant out for me" Laurel whispered.

"Right.." Thea sighed. "I'll buy 4 of my favourite and bring them back to get your opinion"  

"Okay" Laurel smiled, "Eat up Juliana, we have arts and crafts in a few minutes"

~

Laurel had spent the day with Juliana, doing arts and crafts with her, playing games with her, even dressing up with her. "You're great with kids" Slade smiled.

"Thanks" Laurel smiled,  "I guess having 2 little sisters helped"

"You're going to be a great mother" Slade smiled, kissing Laurels forehead.

"I hope so"
