"Oliver, please come in." Walter said as he showed his stepson into his office.

"Walter, thank you for taking the time to meet with me." Oliver said as he sat down on the opposite side of the desk.

"Of course. I have to admit, I was surprised though when I got your call." Walter said.

"Well, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and especially since Laurel and I are settling down and will hopefully be able to start a family someday, I think I need a more stable job then as a nightclub owner or anything else. So, since we both know my father wanted me to take over Queen Consolidated someday and while I'm not ready to become the CEO quite yet, I think I am ready to begin taking a role in the company after all." Oliver said and Walter smiled.

"I'm glad to hear that Oliver and I know your mother will be to." Walter said.

"Speaking of mom, how is she doing with her pregnancy?" Oliver asked and Walter chuckled.

"She isn't even showing yet and she's already positive that she's fat. I swear, you and Thea are both lucky you moved out when you did." Walter said.

"I promise I won't tell mom you just said that." Oliver said and Walter smiled.

"I'd appreciate it. And to tell you the truth, you coming on board with Queen Consolidated is a bit of a relief now, since I'm not sure if you remember how your mother was when she was pregnant with Thea?" Walter asked.

"I have a few memories. I mostly remember how many times she and dad caught me trying to mail Thea away." Oliver said and they both chuckled.

"Yes, you were not happy about her being born." Walter said, since Robert had often told him about those times.

"But she grew on me and now I couldn't imagine my life without her." Oliver said and Walter nodded.

"And I hope that both you and Thea will be as welcoming to your new sibling when they're born." Walter said and Oliver smiled.

"Count on it. So anyways, when is my first day of work?" Oliver asked.

"Next monday. That should give us enough time to get an office ready for you." Walter said and Oliver nodded.

Laurel finishing up some work at her office when her phone rang.

"Mayor Lance." Laurel said as she answered without checking.

"I'm just curious, have you given any thought about what name you're going to take after we get married?" Oliver asked over the phone and Laurel immediately relaxed.

"I was thinking about hyphenating. Dinah Laurel Lance-Queen." Laurel said.

"Has a nice ring to it." Oliver said.

"So, what's this call about?" Laurel asked.

"I just got home from Queen Consolidated and I was wondering what time you thought you'd be home so I could figure out when I should start making dinner?" Oliver asked.

"I'll be here a few more hours. How were things at QC?" Laurel asked.

"Walter agreed to let me take a role in the company and I think this will be a good way to help me balance being a businessman with being, you know, the other guy." Oliver said.

"Yeah, it took me awhile to figure out how to be mayor and the other girl to, but I figured it out." Laurel said.

"I'll see you when you get home." Oliver said.

"Can't wait." Laurel said as she hung up.

When Laurel got home from work, she smiled when she saw that Oliver had put together a very romantic dinner for them.

"Ollie, you didn't have to do this." Laurel said.

"I thought tonight called for a bit of a celebration, since we are currently in between big bads, I've got a solid job set and in about a week, we're getting married." Oliver said.

"Can't wait." Laurel said with a smile as she let Oliver walk her over to the table, which had a romantic candlelit dinner waiting for them.

"So, any luck finding a new deputy mayor yet?" Oliver asked her as they ate.

"Actually, I think I may have found a candidate I like." Laurel said.

"Really, who?" Oliver asked.

"A guy from the Glades. His name is Rene Ramirez." Laurel said and Oliver had to hide his surprise. That was a name he'd certainly never expected to hear again.

"Really, why Rene?" Oliver asked.

"To be honest, he kind of reminded me of you. The way he spoke, I could tell that he actually cares about this city. And his passion for it, well, I think he might make a good addition to the team." Laurel said and Oliver silently agreed with that, since he'd honestly been surprised there hadn't been any reports of a vigilante wearing a hockey mask in the city since he'd become active, since before the reality shift, Rene had probably been the one who'd been the most eager for him to return being the Green Arrow, since it meant a chance for him to return to being Wild Dog.

"I'll look into him and if he seems like has what it takes, we'll talk to the team and put it to a vote." Oliver said and Laurel nodded.

"Either way, I am going to be naming him my deputy mayor." Laurel said.

"Good. It sounds like he'll make a good choice." Oliver said and Laurel nodded as they continued on with their dinner.
