AN: Hey all! So I got a request to see Ava pregnant. This is a different universe, where Laurel and Amina do not exist. The legends still live on the Waverider in the temporal zone, Sara and Ava live in Ava's apartment and have been together for 5 years and married for 3. Ava is 9 months pregnant, the rest, you'll have to read to find out..

—

Ava let out a sigh and closed her eyes. She'd been stuck in her office for hours trying to finish all her paperwork. She put her pen down and leaned back in her chair.

She opened her eyes again, put both hands on her ever growing belly and let out another puff of air.

She let a small smile escape when she felt a kick against her hand. "I know buddy, we can go home soon. Mommy just has to finish this and then we can leave."

She felt another kick and shook her head, "just like your Mama already. When you want something, you want it now."

She sits back up and runs slow circles on her belly, "soon baby, I'm almost done."

Ava's about to get back to work when she gets an alert.

*Incoming Transmission from Sara Lance*

Ava's smile gets bigger at the sight of her wife's name. "Hey you," She says as Sara's smiling face pops up on her screen.

"Hey babe. Just calling to check in. You doing okay?"

Even though Ava knows Sara means well, the constant check ups are slightly annoying. "Yes Sara, I'm fine."

Sara raises her hands up in surrender, "Hey I'm sorry, I just worry about you and the munchkin."

Ava smiles at the nickname, "I know, I'm sorry. I'm just so stressed, I have to get all this paperwork done, and find someone to be the interim director while I'm on maternity leave."

Ava puts her face in her hands and let's out a huff. She sits back up and looks back at the screen.

"Oh baby," Sara whispers as she sees tears in Ava's eyes.

"Ughh," Ava furiously wipes her tears away, "stupid hormones."

"Hey, why don't you come to the waverider, you can bring your paperwork but I think you should relax just a bit, and I can keep an eye on you. All of this isn't good for the baby."

"I know what is and isn't good for the baby Sara!" Ava snaps at her.

Ava looks down and shakes her head, "I'm sorry.."

"It's okay, I'm just worried about you Aves."

"Don't be I'm Fi-" Ava gets cut off by a loud explosion that blasts through her office and knocks her out of her chair and against the wall.

"Ava! Ava what happened? Ava!" Sara screams over the call.

Ava groaned and sat up, holding her stomach, "Sara..."

Four men, dressed head to toe in all black, walk-in through the new hole in Ava's office. Three of them grabbed ahold of Ava, who's too groggy from the blast to fight back, and the fourth stands in view of Sara.

"Get Away from her!" Sara yells, attracting the attention of the rest of the legends.

"Sara Lance," the fourth man said in a distorted voice, "If you want your child to live to see the light of day, you'll do as we say."

The feed cuts off

The four men take an unconscious Ava, walk through a sea of knocked out Time Bureau agents, and disappear with the help of Ava's time courier.

Back on the waverider

Sara stares at the black screen in shock, only broken out of her reverie by Zari's soft voice.

"Sara?"

Sara blinks and swallows, "um, we...we have to find them," she says more to herself than the team.

Sara takes a deep breath and steels herself, "We need to get to the Time Bureau."

"Gideon, open a portal to Ava's office."

"Yes Captain," the AI replies and a portal opens.

Sara darts through it hoping that her wife would still be there, her hopes were quickly shot down.

The legends stood in what once was Ava's pristine, not a speck of dust in sight office. But now, it looks more like a war zone.

Sara walks around to her wife's desk and sees blood on the wall. Her blood is boiling, and all she sees is red, "when I find who took them, I'm gonna kill them."

"Boss," Rory calls out to Sara, standing by what used to be the door.

Sara walks over to him and sees every single Time Bureau agent unconscious on the floor.

"What the hell?"

She walks by the bodies and kneels down when she finds Gary. She puts to fingers against his neck, and sighs in relief when she finds a pulse.

"They're alive," She calls out to the others.

Sara stands up and closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.

"Alright," She starts, "these assholes clearly have been planning this for awhile. They had to of made the perfect plan to infiltrate the Bureau, render every agent unconscious, and," she takes in a stuttering breath, "and take Ava."

Zari steps up, "Sara, there's no way they could've pulled this off on their own, they wouldn't of gotten past the front door."

Sara straightens, "they had help." She looks down at the bodies on the floor, "one of them helped the bastards take my wife and unborn child."

All of the legends stand up a little straighter at the pure hatred and anger in Sara's voice.

"Rory, take Gary to the Med bay, we need to wake him up and see what he knows." Rory nods and picks Gary up and throws him over his shoulder.

"Ray, go with Rory and work with Gideon on how to wake up the rest of the agents. Zari and Nate, go back to the waverider and look for any trace of Ava or her abductors in star city, throughout time if you have to. They used her time courier, you should be able to track it."

They all nod and the four of them head back to the waverider, leaving Amaya with Sara.

Amaya walks up to her best friend and puts her hands on her shoulders, "we'll find them Sara.."

Sara looks into Amaya's eyes and just losses it. "He said if I don't do as they say he's gonna kill the baby," she cries and falls apart in Amaya's arms.

"We won't let that happen, I promise." Amaya holds Sara tightly as she cries.

Sara let's herself break but then gets herself together. "Alright, lets get to work."

*Star City, 2018, unknown location*

Ava groans as she slowly comes back to consciousness. "Where am I?"

"Nowhere of your concern," replies a distorted voice to her right.

Ava felt a kick against her belly and instinctively went to put arms around it when she found that her hands were tied. "What do you want from me?"

The man walks closer til he's standing right in front of her. "Lets just say your wife has made a lot of enemies in both of her life times," he puts his hand on Ava's stomach and she tries to move away, "and if she doesn't do exactly what I say, well, your baby will pay the price."

The man gets up and walks out of the room and tears sting Ava's eyes, "please do what they say Sara," she whispers as a silent prayer.

*back at the Bureau*

Sara and Amaya had put all the bureau agents up against the wall with their hands zip tied in front.

A portal opens and Ray, Mick and Gary walk through. "Captain Lance I am so so sorry I-I," Gary stutters walking up to Sara.

"Relax Gary," Sara sighs, "just tell us everything you remember."

Gary nods and takes a deep breath. "It's not much. I was on my way to director Lance's Office when a fog filled the room and the next thing I know I woke up on the waverider."

Sara looks down, "damnit. Ray, did you figure out how to wake the agents up?"

Ray nods eagerly, and holds up a spray bottle filled with a blue liquid, "Yes I took some of Gary's blood, testing the chemicals in his-"

"Ray!" Sara cuts him off, "just wake them up."

"Yes Captain." Ray walks down the line of agents and sprays each agent with the solution. One by one, they all start waking up.

"What the- why are we tied up?" One of them called out and looked up at the legends. "What the hell is going on? When Director Sharpe hears about this-" That was not a smart thing to do.

Sara stalks up to said agent, grabbed him by his collar and threw him against the wall. "First of all, it's Director Lance! Second of all," Sara backed away and the agent slid back down to the ground, "your Director, my wife and unborn child, was kidnapped this morning. And one of you helped. Now, you could give yourself up, and maybe I won't kill you. But if you don't, and anything happens to either of them," Sara looks each agent in the eyes with a cold hard stare, "I will kill you. Slowly, and painfully."

No one speaks up.

"Okay then, we do this my way." Sara says darkly and one by one Sara interrogates each Time bureau agent.

Sara is in her 10th interrogation when she hears, "incoming transmission from Director Lance."

Sara nods to Rory and he takes the agent out of Ava's office where they've been holding the interrogations.

The TV in Ava's office turns on, and it shows Ava, tied to a chair and dried blood on her head.

"Ava!" Sara yells, "baby are you okay?"

Ava opens her mouth to speak but a figure comes from the side and smacks her across the face, "no talking!" He yells at Ava.

"Don't you touch her!" Sara screams, her breathing becoming erratic.

"You're in no position to be giving orders Sara," said the distorted voice. He stalks around Ava until he's behind her.

"Let's get down to business." He puts his hands on Ava's shoulders and Ava flinches and closes her eyes.

"What do you want from us?"

The man chuckles, "A long time ago, you took my family from me. Slaughtered them, with no remorse."

"Sara would never," Ava croaks out but gets smacked again, "what did I tell you about talking!?"

"As I was saying," he turns his ski mask covered face back to the camera, "you took them from me, and so I thought, I'd take yours from you." He pulls out a knife and puts it to Ava's stomach.

"No! No please! Don't!" Sara begs and falls to her knees. The normally fearless and stone cold captain, was begging for her lovers and baby's life.

"But then I thought, that's too easy." He moves the knife away from Ava's stomach, and with his other hand, lifts his mask up and off his face.

"Sara Lance, you have one hour to meet me where our quarrel once ended. Or I cut your child from your wife and they both die."

The screen goes black.

Sara stares at the screen, completely still.

Zari and Nate come flying through a portal, "we found her! Them, Sara we found them!"

Sara still says nothing. Zari looks around at everyone and sees the looks on their faces, "What just happened?"

"I'm going to save my family." Sara stands up and goes to leave, but Amaya stops her.

"Sara, did you hear Zari? They found Ava and the baby, we can all go get them."

Sara snaps at her, "and did you not hear him say, more than once I may add, that he would kill Ava and the baby if I didn't do exactly as he said!? I'm not taking that chance."

Sara pushes pass Amaya but stops and turns her head to look at them, "go to the coordinates Zari found, scope out the building, do not enter until 5 minuets after the hour is up am I clear?"

"Yes Captain," the teams replies but Rory nods.

Sara nods back and leaves the bureau. "I'm coming Al-Owal." Sara taps her comm in her ear, "Gideon, open a portal to the waverider at my position."

A portal opens in front of Sara and she steps through. She heads to her quarters to prepare for the battle she's sure is to come.

She braids her hair and puts her black and gold canary suit on. Her gold silk league scarf wrapped around her waist, and her bō staff in its hold on her back.

She looks at the time, 20 minuets left. "Gideon," Sara calls out to the AI.

"Yes Captain."

"If I die tonight, you give the team this message okay?"

"Captain I'm sure it won't come to that."

"Gideon please," Sara begs.

"Yes Captain, I will, record your message now Captain."

Sara takes a deep breath, "Legends, if you're hearing this, that means I didn't make it." Her voice quivers, "You we're the best crew a captain could ever ask for. Yeah you all are a pain in my ass, but you wouldn't be legends if you weren't."

"Nate, there's more to your story than you know. You're an amazing guy, and I know this team wouldn't be here without you. You saved us, literally."

"Ray, Me and you boarded this ship together 8 years ago. I still rent the first time I met you, well, the first time I remember meeting you. Don't let that big brain of yours get in the way of what your heart wants. You're too good for this world Raymond Palmer."

"Rory, what can I say? You've been here just as long as me and Ray. Despite everything we went through with the time masters, I trust you with my life, and with my family's life. Please protect Ava and the baby, please."

"Zari, Zari, Zari. We didn't get along well in the beginning, but you are oh so important to this team, and so important to me. You've become a little sister to me, don't let anyone tell you your less than your worth. I'll come back to haunt their ass if they do."

"Amaya, you're my best friend. The one I've been able to count on no matter what these past years. I love you so much. I love you all so much."

Sara wipes the tears that have made their way down her cheeks, "and Ava," it's so clear now that she's crying, "Ava my love, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that you and our little boy got mixed up in this. I love you both more than anything in this world. My baby boy, Mama loves you so much, take care of your mommy okay? Mama will be watching over the both of you. I love you."

Sara takes another deep breath and wipes her eyes, "end recording Gideon." The recording ends.

"Gideon, thank you, for everything. If I don't come back, I name Amaya as Captain."

"Thank you Captain Lance. But you will be fine, I believe in you Sara."

Sara chuckles, "thanks Gideon."

Sara looks at the time once more, 5 minuets left, "let's do this."

Sara opens a portal to where she thought it all ended. She walks through the portal and into the clock tower, Al-Owal and two of his three henchmen behind him. Meaning only one was left with Ava.

"Ta-Er Al-Safer, you came."

*Star City, 2018, Abandoned Warehouse*

All Ava felt, was pain. Pain in her head from the hits she received, and pain in her stomach, from the contractions she's been having since early that morning.

"Uggggg," she groans lowly, "come on baby not now."

As if the baby could hear her, and chose not to listen, Ava's water breaks. "Oh no."

A sharp pain takes over her and her belly tightens, "ahhhhhhhh shiiitttt!"

The lackey watching over Ava turns to her and goes to walk to her and as he reaches her, the legends, quite literally, burst through the door.

"Ava!" Amaya yells and the man turns to face the legends.

"Step away from her," Zari growls and charges towards him, and a fight breaks out. Nate, Rory, and Zari fight off the assassin while Ray and Amaya grab Ava.

"Hey, hey, talk to me Ava, what's goin on?" Amaya asks.

"My-my water broke, gahhhh," Ava screams in pain. Ray unties her, "I'll get her back to the waverider. He picks her up and flies out of the warehouse.

*The Clocktower*

"Sara, I have Ava, we're in the baked bay on the waverider, but you better hurry, her water broke," Sara hears Ray's voice in her ear, but she shows no outward signs of it.

"I did. Now that I'm here, what do you want Al-Owal. We have no quarrel. Ra's sent me on a mission to kill a woman who knew too much of the league. He told me she was a threat. So I did as I was told."

He stalks forward, "it does not matter the reason for her death. Only that you killed her and now you must pay. Your family is dead, Sara, you killed them."

Sara does nothing but smirk, "you sure about that? My team rescued my wife, leaving only one watchdog? You're a bit rusty, maybe you need to be taught a new lesson."

He snarls and unsheathes his sword, "you insolent child, you're still outnumbered, you will not walk out of here alive."

Sara whips out her staff, smirk still on her face, "wrong again. You really should stop underestimating me."

As if on cue, a portal opens and all the legends with the exception of Ray and Amaya, walk into the clocktower. "Your move Al-Owal."

He surges forward and moves to strike Sara with his sword, but she was quicker. She pulled out a mini dagger and struck it through his heart, "that's for laying a finger on my wife and child."

He falls onto his back, lifeless. The two assassins retreat from the tower and into the night.

Zari comes up behind Sara and puts her hand on her shoulder, "Hey, Sara, you okay?"

Sara turns and faces Zari and smiles softly, "I'm good."

"Uh guys, can you get Sara back here like uh now? This baby is coming and does not like waiting," they hear Rays voice and Ava's groans of pain in the background.

Sara quickly opens a portal and runs through the halls of the waverider and into the med bay.

"I'm here baby, I'm here," Sara immediately grabs Ava's hand and squeezed it tight.

Ava still had dry blood on her head, and sweat was dripping down her face. "Sara," she whimpers as another contraction hit her and she screamed and pushed with all her might.

"Come on Aves, you got this babe, you're doing so great my love."

"Shut up Lance!"

The contraction passes and breathes heavily and the pain momentarily leaves her body. "I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to yell."

Sara laughed with tears in her eyes, "Hey, it's okay, you have every right to yell at me right now."

Sara closes her eyes and tears stream down her face, "god Aves I'm so so sorry."

"Hey," Ava said softly and pulled Sara down so their foreheads were touching. She put her hand on Sara's cheek and wiped her tears away.

"Don't you dare apologize. It was not your fault. Do you hear me?" Ava says firmly, "it wasn't your fault."

Sara sobbed and kissed Ava deeply. Their lips fitting perfectly. Kissing Ava felt like coming home. Ava was home, and in the next few minutes, so would their baby.

Sara pulled back slowly, savoring the feeling of Ava's lips on hers. "I love you so much Ava Lance."

Ava smiles and pecks Sara's lips once more, "I love you so much more Sara Lance."

Sara smiles brightly at her, but the moment is cut short when another contraction comes, "Alright Ava, I see the head, big push," Amaya says.

Ava squeezes Sara's hand, bares down, and pushes as hard as she can. She hears Sara softly counting to ten, and then telling her to breathe.

"The heads out!" Amaya smiles

"Come on Aves, one more push and our boy will be here," Sara whispers in her ear.

Ava takes a deep breath and gives it everything she's got. A couple seconds later, they hear the most beautiful sound in the world. Their baby's cry.

"It's a boy!" Amaya says, tears in her eyes. She cleans out the baby's throat and lays the baby on Ava's chest.

Happy tears are running down both Sara and Ava's face. "Hi there baby boy," Ava sobs, "you're so beautiful."

Amaya clamps the cord, and holds the scissors out to Sara, "wanna cut the cord Mama?"

Sara smiles and takes the scissors and cuts between the two clamps.

"Sara, why don't you take baby boy Lance over to where Ray is we can measure him and clean him up? Ava's job is not quite done yet," Amaya says referring to the placenta.

Ava nods and smiles and hands the baby to Sara.

Sara gently takes the baby, who had quieted down upon being put on his Mommy's chest, into her arms and just stares at him for a moment.

In that moment, Sara knows she'll never let anything happen to him ever again, "I love you so much already little man," she whispers.

She takes the baby over to a smiling Ray, "congrats Sara."

Sara smiles at him, "thanks Ray. So, what do we gotta do for my little man?"

"I have to make his umbilical cord shorter, then we can wash him. Then we just have to change and weigh him."

Sara smiles, "sounds good to me."

They get everything done, Amaya delivers and gets rid of the placenta and helps Ava get cleaned up and into the Captains quarters. While Sara and Ray take care of baby boy Lance.

Sara had Ray quickly portal to their apartment to grab the hospital bag they had packed, so much for that, Sara thinks to herself.

She carefully puts a diaper on her little baby, and the outfit that she and Ava had picked out, a grey onesie that says "Hello World," black pants and a black baby hat. She swaddles the baby in the blanket they bought him, a fuzzy blue and white blanket with elephants.

She picks him up and kisses his little cheek, "lets go see mommy."

Sara walked down out of the med bay and down the hall to her quarters on the ship.

She enters the room to see Ava laying on the bed with sleepy eyes.

"Hey babe," Sara whispers and Ava sits up straight and smiles brightly at seeing her wife and son.

Sara walks over to her and places their son in Ava's arms.

Ava cradles him close to her chest and leans into Sara who is now seated beside her.

"He's so beautiful," Ava whispers, not taking her eyes off of their baby.

"He needs a name." Sara says and Ava looks at her.

" I was thinking, how about Noah Quentin Lance? That way he'll have his own name and identity while still being named after his grandpa," Ava said hopefully.

Sara was speechless. She was feeling so many things, so all she could do was nod. She nodded her head and kisses Ava passionately.

"I love it. I love Noah and I love you."

Ava smiles and the two look down at their son, "Welcome to the world Noah Quentin Lance."
