Chapter 28

Laurel was messing with her necklace while waiting for Slade and Malcolm.

Today was the day of her sonogram. And to pile on, she woke up, and her morning sickness immediately kicked in. How embarrassing, not to mention, both Malcolm and Slade saw her. 

She knew she was being silly, not wanting them to help her, but it was gross and very embarrassing.

"Laurel," That was Slade.

"Hey, where's Malcolm?" Laurel said.

"He'll be here in a minute," Slade said, sitting next to her and putting an arm around her shoulders.

And a few seconds later Malcolm walked in, looking very exhausted. 

"I am going to kill Thea," Malcolm said.

"Story of her life, why?" Laurel said  

"She has managed to tell the entire mob that you're pregnant," Malcolm said.

"Doesn't surprise me, she has a gift for that," Laurel said.

"I'm gonna kill Alex too, her and Thea joined forces, that's how she managed to tell everyone," Malcolm said.

"I never imagined Alex as the type of person to gossip," Laurel said.

"She did when she was a teenager, it was horrible," Slade said.

"Okay, we're stalling, let's go," Laurel said standing up.

"I wasn't stalling," Malcolm said.

"I don't believe you," Laurel said, as they walked out.

"Why!?" Malcolm asked. 

"I dunno," Laurel shrugged.

"Hey, you aren't late," Frost said as they walked in.

"Why is Veronica here?" Laurel asked.

"I'm her partner," Veronica said.

"She's my assistant," Frost said at the same time.

"What are you talking about? Your 'assistant' I'm a doctor!" Veronica yelled.

"I've been a doctor longer than you!" Frost yelled.

"And yet somehow I'm more skilled than you!" Veronica yelled.

"Ohhhh!!!!" Frost yelled, about to say something before Malcolm cut her off.

"Ladies, I have an idea, how about both of you, shut up and argue about this later," Malcolm said a little pissed off.

Both of them nodded and got to work.

After everything was set up, and Laurel was sitting down, they started the sonogram.

"Okay, it's going to be a little cold," Frost said as she put the wand on Laurel's belly. 

She moved it around a bit till she found what she was looking for, "And there it is, there's your baby."

"I love it," Laurel said, gripping both Malcolm and Slade's hand.

"Hold on," Frost said.

"Hold on? That sounds bad," Laurel said.

"It isn't, look there's another one, you're having twins," Frost said. "And I think I know why. It's possible for twins to have separate fathers."

"That's a thing?" Laurel said.

"Yeah, it's rare though," Veronica said.

~

Frost was in the back putting everything back.

"Looks like you both get a biological kid," Laurel said.

"Yeah," Malcolm said.

"It's amazing," Slade said.

"Okay, stop being lovey-dovey," Frost said, coming back in.

"But... why?" Veronica said.

"Laurel, I have some instructions for you, and I really need you to follow them," Frost said.

"What is it," Laurel asked.

"I need you to take it easy, you've already been shot, and you have a concussion, I don't want you to harm the baby," Frost said. "And you two," Frost turned to look at Slade and Malcolm, who held their hands up in surrender. "Her life needs as little stress as possible, so don't get shot. Yes, I'm looking at you Malcolm, you reckless idiot."

"You know, your the only one allowed to talk to me like that, besides these two," Malcolm said, pointing at Laurel and Slade.

"And is it because you're afraid of me?" Frost asked.

"Partly, but your very scary, the other part is we can't lose a doctor with all your skills," Malcolm said.

"Mhmm, whatever you say," Frost smirked.

~

"Are you seriously trying to keep me in here my whole pregnancy, that is so dumb," Laurel said.

"Laurel, please," Malcolm said. 

"Fine, but it's not my fault if everyone starts hanging out here," Laurel said. 

"Okay," Malcolm said. "I'm gonna go kill Thea, I'll be right back."

"Shes just excited, leave her alone," Laurel said.

Malcolm sighed and then sat down.

Laurel felt her phone buzz and saw a text from Thea.

Thea: So, twins, huh

Laurel: who told you!

Thea: no one, I was listening at the door

"Are you serious," Laurel said out loud.

"What," Slade asked.

"Look at this," Laurel said.

"I see someone named Matt G. is calling you," Slade said.

Laurel looked at her phone and placed and said, "I'll be right back, I have to take this."

She stepped into the hall and answered her phone.

"Listen, whoever the hell this is Matt is dead, don't ever call me again," Laurel said.

"Ms. Lance," a voice came over the phone. She knew that voice. Damian Darhk.

"What," Laurel said sharply.

"Be on the lookout, I wouldn't want anything to happen to that child of yours," He said, before hanging up.

Laurel stood there in shock, her hand over her stomach, gasping.

Slade came out and said, "Laurel! What's wrong!?" 

She was sobbing and after she had laid down in bed she managed to tell them what had happened.

"Hey, love, they just dug their graves," Slade said.

Malcolm was already calling Oliver and Tommy.

~

"What's wrong with Laurel?" Tommy asked.

"Damian Darhk just called her and threatened our child. You find out who told him and bring them to me and Slade, ALIVE," Malcolm said, fuming.

"We're going to need Laurel's phone, but we'll find them," Tommy said.

~

About an hour later, Tommy and Oliver, we're dragging a brunette girl to them.

"I know her, she's Thea's friend," Malcolm said when they dragged the girl in there.

A minute later Thea came storming in. "Why are you dragging one of my bridesmaids through the halls?"

"She's been talking to Damian Darhk, her phone said so," Tommy said.

"No, she wouldn't Allison, tell them," Thea said.

"Thea, I can explain," Allison said.

"No," Thea sighed, tears coming to her eyes. She ran out.

"I know your parents, Chris and Dee, they're amazing people, you obviously didn't take after then. I want to hear your reason before I kill you," Malcolm said.

"My kid, they took Claire as leverage, please!" Allison sobbed.

"You have a kid?" Malcolm said.

"I had her a little while back, I was going to give her up for adoption, but he didn't let me, said he was going to use her as leverage, if I don't do what he says, he'll have someone kill her, there are some cold people there, I wouldn't put it past them, please help me," Allison sobbed.

"I've known you since you were a child, I was hoping you hadn't turned against us, come here," Malcolm got up and pulled her off the ground and into his arms. 

"We will save Claire, my child, and bring down the Darhks, or die trying."
