Chapter 29
Laurel was pissed off. And somehow crying her eyes out as well. Stupid hormones.
And Frost was bothering her and somehow arguing with Veronica at the same time.
Thea and Kara were there, Kara was consoling Thea about something. And Alex was watching Frost and Veronica and making bets with Sara about who would win the argument.
Dinah was rubbing Laurel's back, and glaring at everyone.
And Slade and Malcolm were nowhere to be found, a fact her mother found very annoying.
"Oh god," Laurel said, before running to the bathroom to throw up.
"Laurel, are you okay?" Dinah asked as Frost ran after her.
"Yeah," Laurel said.
"That counts, hand it over," Sara said.
"No, you will get this money over my dead body, that doesn't count," Alex said.
"Chill. Its five bucks," Sara said.
"And you will get that five bucks over my dead body," Alex said.
Malcolm and Slade walked in with Tommy, Oliver and Allison.
"What is she doing here, you didn't kill her?" Thea said.
"Can you let her explain," Malcolm asked.
Thea nodded and headed outside with Allison.
"Where's Laurel?" Malcolm asked.
Sara pointed to the bathroom, where he could hear Laurel now.
"Laurel," Slade said, heading into the restroom, which was open. And he immediately got a toothbrush thrown at him.
"She's mad," Slade said.
"Captain Obvious!" Veronica said, which made him glare at her. "I'm not scared of your glare. My mother's been glaring at me for like ten minutes."
Thea walked back in and said, "Okay, so Alison and I made an agreement she's still going to be a bridesmaid, we're still best friends, and Darhk has officially made it to the top spot on my enemies list," Thea said.
"He wasn't before?" Laurel said coming out of the bathroom.
"No, Alice was, but she's in jail now," Thea said.
"What'd she do?" Veronica asked.
"Messed with me. I'm the Gossip Queen, I can dig up dirt on anyone, and I turned the dirt I had on her, into the police," Thea said.
"Unfortunately she doesn't use it for anything useful, so its completely useless," Malcolm said.
"Yeah, all she uses it for is to get people arrested for drug dealing because they said the wrong thing to her," Slade said.
"She murdered someone," Thea said.
"I thought she was arrested for drug dealing," Slade said.
"That was part of it," Thea said.
"Why are we talking about this! The point is, can you do that to Darhk?" Laurel asked.
"With him, I'd have to do everything legally, so, maybe," Thea said.
"You know what, can everyone leave," Laurel said, sitting down on the bed.
Everyone filed out quickly except for Slade and Malcolm. They went over to Laurel and started rubbing her back.
"Ugh, pregnancy already sucks," Laurel said. She flopped onto the bed and said, "This is all your fault."
"A third of it is your fault," Malcolm pointed out.
"Shut it," Laurel groaned.
"Okay, you want to move to a more comfortable position love?" Slade asked.
"Yeah," Laurel said, sitting up.
~1 month later~
They still hadn't found Damian Darhk.
Laurel was about to enter her second trimester, meaning she was getting much more moody because she was starting to show.
Thea's wedding was in a week. And she had it planned down to the second, and everything had to go perfectly. To say Thea was a nightmare bride was a compliment.
And since Laurel was her bridesmaid, they clashed, a LOT.
"Thea I swear to God if you yell at me again I will kick out of here!" Laurel yelled. They were yelling at each other, again. Laurel had been ignoring Frost's advice due to mood swings.
"Well you changed Juliana's dress at the last minute, I liked it the way it was," Thea said.
"She complained, it was one detail, no one will notice, they'll be too distracted by how cute she is," Laurel said.
Thea sighed and walked out.
"We heard yelling AGAIN. Laurel, you need to stop that, or Frost might try to confine you to this room," Malcolm said, coming in.
"No! It's not my fault your daughter is so stubborn," Laurel said.
"You're being pretty stubborn too," Malcolm said, putting an arm around her shoulder.
She glared at him and said, "I'm stubborn?"
"Are you seriously going to argue with me about that?" Malcolm asked.
"No. Because I'm gonna be sick, move," She raced into the bathroom. Her morning sickness was still pretty bad, but it was getting better.
After she came out of the bathroom, Malcolm said, "Oh, yeah, we had something to tell you, we found a potential hideout for the Darhks, we're gonna hit it tonight."
"How long will you two be gone," Laurel asked.
"A while, if it turns into a fight," Slade said.
"So if they're there," Laurel said.
"Yeah, if they're there, we won't be leaving until after dinner though," Malcolm said.
"Okay, good, don't die. If you die before I give birth I will kill you," Laurel said.
"Promise," Slade and Malcolm said.
~
Later that night after they had left, and after Laurel had fallen asleep, there was a loud bang. The bang was so loud that I woke Laurel up.
After the bang, she heard shuffling and then Thea burst into her room with a gun. Laurel was shocked, she knew Thea had a gun, but she had never seen it.
"What's going on?" Laurel asked.
"The Darhks, that bases was a distraction," Thea said.
The door opened and Thea raised her gun. But she lowered it once she saw it was Frost and Tommy.
"I could've shot you," Thea said.
Tommy was about to say something when the door busted open and they all raised their guns.
And they were instantly surrounded by men with guns.
"Weapons down or we shoot all of you, including the Queen," A voice said. Damian Darhk.
They reluctantly put down their weapons, the men immediately came over and disarmed them.
"Take those two and the Lance girl," Damian said.
"What about this one," one of the men said as they walked out.
"Shoot her," Darhk said, as he closed the door.
"No!!" Laurel yelled as a gunshot went off, it was muffled by the door a bit, but you could tell what it was.
Some men took Tommy away as they moved through the mansion. Laurel saw Andrea and Juliana in a room surrounded by guards, but unharmed.
She saw Alex and Kara with Oliver unconscious next to Kara. Or at least she hoped he was unconscious.
They got into the main hall and Darhk pointed at Thea and said, "Take her."
"Thea!" Laurel yelled as Thea was dragged away.
"Shut up," Darhk said, pointing a gun at her.
The door busted open and Slade and Malcolm ran in.
"Take another step and she dies," Darhk said.
Slade and Malcolm stopped and Malcolm said, "What do you want, you wouldn't threaten her unless you wanted something."
"Andrea," Darhk said.
"Why," Slade said.
"Despite everything, she's still family," Darhk said.
"What?" Slade said.
"She is my stepsister," Darhk said.
Slade was about to say something else when a gunshot rang out. Slade and Malcolm immediately looked at Laurel, in fear she had been shot, but it was Darhk.
"How many damn times do we have to shoot this guy," Frost said, pointing the gun at Darhk. She had shot him. "I sometimes hate this job"
~
Damian Darhk had escaped. Again! The guy just wouldn't stay dead.
Frost wanted to do an ultrasound to make sure that stress hadn't affected the babies, so that's what Laurel and Slade were doing.
Malcolm had to help with the cleanup of everything, although he did offer to go anyway. But he couldn't, Alex said if she had to help so did he, and that he would see his child in person in 6 months anyway. That did not go over well with Malcolm, and tensions were already high, so it ended up as a screaming match that Alex won.
Frost but the gel on her belly and said, "Okay, there's the first baby, you can hear it's heartbeat. And the other one... where is it?" She moved it around a bit and said, "it was hiding. Once you're far enough along that I can test the DNA I'd like to test my theory."
"How far along would that be?" Laurel asked.
"About 8 weeks, then I can do a non-invasive paternity test. And you're about to start showing, so I would suggest maternity clothes," Frost said.
"Ugh!" Laurel groaned.
~
Max Lord was in the 'hospital' with Damian Darhk, waiting for him to wake up.
"Wha-" Darhk said before Max interrupted him.
"You failed, and were shot. You tried this your way, now we try it mine. First, we start with the FBI."
