Chapter 145
Since it was getting so close to Laurel's due date, she and Oliver invited Samantha and William to their home for lunch. Despite Samantha assuring him that William was excited to finally meet his father, Oliver couldn't help but be a bit nervous, though he was relieved that the circumstances that William found out he was his father would be better this time than it had been the last time.
"Hey, don't worry, everything will be fine." Laurel said, right as she grimaced a bit.
"Hey, you okay?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah, it's just a bit of discomfort. It's been happening more and more the closer I get to my due date." Laurel assured him and while Oliver nodded, she could tell he didn't completely believe her, right as there was a knock on the door.
"They're here." Oliver said as he went to open the door.
"Not yet." Laurel whispered to her stomach.
"Thank you for coming." Oliver said as he showed their guests inside.
"Thank you for having us. I know the timing isn't exactly ideal." Samantha said.
"Laurel insisted on doing this before the birth." Oliver said as he turned his attention to his son.
"Hi William." Oliver said.
"You're my father?" William asked and he was a lot more open to the idea then he was before.
"Yeah, I am. Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to call me dad. I haven't earned that yet. You can call me Oliver." Oliver said as he held out his hand, which William shook.
"How come I never met you until now?" William asked.
"Well, for the first few years, I didn't know you existed." Oliver said and Samantha looked a bit sheepish at that.
"And then when you did know about me?" William asked.
"I thought it would be better to stay away, given some of the things I'm doing." Oliver said.
"Like what?" William asked.
"It's grown up stuff that you don't get to ask about." Oliver said, since he did not want William anywhere near the hooded part of his life.
"I think what he means is that it's not appropriate stuff for you to ask about. Anyways, why don't we move forward. You made lunch?" Samantha asked and Oliver nodded, right as they heard some kind of splash and then Laurel screamed in pain.
"Laurel." Oliver said as he rushed in.
"Ollie, I think my water just broke." Laurel said, much to Oliver's shock.
"We need to get you to the hospital now." Oliver said.
"Wait, what's going on?" William asked.
"What's going on is that you're about to get a sibling." Samantha said with a smile.
"Samantha, can you do me a favor and grab Laurel's hospital bag. It's in the front hall closet?" Oliver asked.
"Absolutely." Samantha said and Oliver nodded at her gratefully as he helped Laurel out to the car.
Quentin was currently talking to Pike at the SCPD when his phone rang.
Normally he would've ignored it, but when he saw it was his son-in-law, he looked at Pike.
"Excuse me a minute." Quentin said and Pike nodded.
"Hello?" Quentin asked.
"Quentin, it's time." Oliver said.
"Wait, are you sure, doesn't she still have two more weeks?" Quentin asked.
"Her water broke, she's in labor. We're headed to the hospital now." Oliver said.
"I'll meet you there." Quentin said as he hung up.
"I'm really sorry Frank, but I gotta go." Quentin said.
"Is everything alright?" Pike asked.
"Laurel's in labor." Quentin said and Pike nodded.
"Go, we can resume our conversation later. Please offer her and Oliver my congratulations." Pike said and Quentin nodded.
"Thank you." Quentin said as he rushed out.
Moira and Walter were taking Robert out to the park to play when Moira's cell phone rang.
"Hello?" Moira asked.
"Mom, it's time." Oliver said.
"Are you sure?" Moira asked.
"I know it's early, but the day is here, Laurel is in labor. I already called Quentin and Thea and Roy are still in Maui until the end of the week. I'm gonna get in touch with Dinah and Sara next." Oliver said of Laurel's mother and sister.
"We'll be there soon." Moira said.
"See you then." Oliver said as he hung up.
"Get Robert, we need to go to the hospital." Moira said to her husband, who nodded.
Sorry, but the birth will not be in this chapter. There will still be another chapter of Love Rewritten before the birth, but I promise I will get that done as soon as possible and then get back to this story. The reason for this will be discussed in the chapter 125 of Love Rewritten.
