"I have grown up within the mob, I have seen what can happen to marriages in the mob," Laurel said, "I want to go into this marriage as your equal, not your Queen, not one of your men's daughters, an equal. I don't care if this marriage threatens my life, the only lives I care about are the babies, my sisters, my parents, my future step-kids, and yours. Also, I intend for this to be my only marriage"
"We get that you don't care about what'll happen to you, but we care," Malcolm said, "We know how most marriages end, two of my wives up and left, his wife up and left, we have seen it all, which is why we want to protect you and our kids"
"I get that, but I am not Moira or Malory," Laurel said, "Once I am committed, I will stay committed"
"We know that, but there are still things that can take you away from us, terrible demons in the closet, monsters under the bed, we can't afford to lose you as well," Slade said.
"You'll never lose me, cause Lances... Well, we don't go easy" Laurel took both their hands, "I know you will protect me, but I don't always need protection, there are things I can do on my own, and there are going to be things I need to do on my own"
"Alright, but when it's not something you have to do alone, guards" Slade stated.
"But not every minute of every day, that would drive me insane" Laurel stated.
"Deal," Malcolm said.
"Okay," Slade sighed, "Does anyone actually know how this fight really started?"
"Nope"
"No idea"
"Terrific" Slade nodded, "We should get some rest, we're getting married in a week"
"These children are hurting my back," Laurel said as she laid back down.
"Not the only thing going to be hurting"

The wedding day. Whilst the other weddings had been pretty extravagant, this was a wedding for Kings and Queen. "Breath woman, breath" Laurel said.
Dinah was crying... again. "I'm sorry, this is just so..." Dinah teared up again.
"Okay, we're going to go grab her some water," Veronica said, "Come on Mom before you set off the pregnant women"
"Hey" Sara turned Laurel around to start doing her hair. "How are feeling?"
"A little nervous" Laurel sighed, "But excited"
"My baby girl is getting married" Quentin smiled at his daughter.
"Dad" Laurel smiled.
"I'm so proud of you, Laurel," Quentin said, "I actually never thought I'd make it to this day"
"Awe, dad" Laurel said. She took his hand.
"Okay, I might cry now," Sara said, looking up.
"Laurel, do you know where your grooms are?" Alex asked, her and Barry peeking her head in.
"Chances are, their office," Laurel said.
"Alright, I'll be back in a bit" They rushed out.
"Anyone else find that suspicious?" Sara asked, looking around to the ladies. No one said a word. "Only me? Cool"
"Okay, the dress is ready," Carmia said, pulling the dress out of the dress bag.
"Oh, It still unreal," Laurel said, turning to it.
"Okay, let's get you in it," Carmia said.

Alex came back smiling a little, "Hey, I thought you said you weren't doing business today" Caitlin went up to her.
"I wasn't," Alex said, "Just some pep talks"
"How nice" Caitlin smiled.
"Okay," Laurel announced. Stepping out dressed in her dress. "How do I look?"
"Like a queen" Sara smiled.
"You look beautiful" Quentin smiled. "We have 20 minutes"
"I need to sit down" Laurel sighed, sitting down on the couch and leaning back a little, holding her belly.
"Are you feeling okay?" Caitlin rushed over.
"Yea, I'm fine," Laurel said, "Just a little stressed"
"Okay, she doesn't do anything except walk down the aisle and say her vows, got it" Caitlin commanded. Everyone nodded, fearing the doctor.
"Can I get the room with her?" Veronica asked. Everyone started clearing out, Veronica walked over and sat next to Laurel.
"What's up?" Laurel asked, repositioning herself to look at her sister properly.
"I wanted to talk about our relationship," Veronica said, "I know we grew up together, we shared a bathroom for 15 years and god knows we know almost every secret about one another and yet we never really got along"
"We were just too different" Laurel sighed.
"I know but, I always looked up to you" Veronica leaned over and laid her head on Laurel's shoulder, "I just wish I had told you sooner, there wouldn't have been a rift in the family"
"The rift in the family was due to dad's work, we both know this" Laurel said, side hugging her sister.
"Yea, but we fueled the rift by moving far from each other" Veronica said, "Me for med school, you for law school, and Sara for... god knows what she was doing"
"Ladies, 10 minutes!" Alex exclaimed from outside.
"What I wanted to say is I love you, Laur, I'm so happy you're getting your family" Veronica smiled.
"I love you, Ronica" Laurel hugged her.
"Ladies!" Quentin exclaimed.
"Coming!" Veronica exclaimed. "Come on, your grooms are waiting"
Veronica helped her sister to the door where everyone was waiting. "Are you ready Laurel?" Sara asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be"

Dinah Laurel Lance had grown up within the Merlyn Mob, she played house with Oliver and Tommy, she babysat Thea, she saw her father's friends come and go, and she lost her first love to it, but she could never escape it, so she embraced it.
The Lances made their way to the doors. Laurel's sisters and bridesmaids lined up and her mother and father held her arms. "How are you feeling?" Dinah asked.
"Scared, but excited" Laurel smiled, "I'm getting married"
"I should get to my seat" Dinah sighed, "You're going to be amazing"
"I love you, mom" Laurel kissed her mother's cheek.
"I love you, my pretty bird" Dinah kissed her daughter's forehead before leaving.
Sara Marie Lance had lived her life within the Merlyn Mob, she had watched the wars they fought and played with the devil once or twice herself, she had been ready to accept her fate within the mob years ago.
Barry looked back at the doors as Sara walked out in a light blue dress, walking towards the altar. As she passed him, she winked and continued to the altar.
"That's my future wife" Barry whispered to his best friend Winn.
"Sure, Barry, sure," Winn said, not believing him.
Barry chuckled and played with the ring in his pocket and watching as Malcolm and Slade hugged Sara and she took her place on the bride's side.
Veronica Victoria Lance had despised her time in the Merlyn Mob, but she loved the people in it, she hadn't lost anyone in it, but she had worried she would lose her loved ones. Now she had agreed to become the heir's wife, and now, like her sister, she would one day be queen.
Veronica stepped out a few feet behind her sister, seeing her fiance next to the grooms, smiling. Veronica smiled back, making her way up the aisle.
"You started planning your wedding?" Roy asked Tommy.
"Yep, we're gonna wait a while, but we're ready to start out lives" Tommy smiled.
The Lances had started out at the lowest rank of the Mob, working their way up, and now Laurel Lance was the Queen. The most powerful family in the mob other than the Merlyns. They would go down in the history books, the three deadly sisters.
Dinah Laurel Wilson-Merlyn, Sara Marie Allen, and Veronica Victoria Merlyn. God help anyone who did them wrong.
You may believe this was the end, the final page, but you see... This is just the beginning, the beginning of Siren Sisters.
