Nyssa sighs as she lays Ariana down in her bassinet.
Oliver watched her with a soft smile on his face.
Moving over to the bed, Nyssa lays down.
Oliver moved over to the bed and lay down beside her.
Shifting, Nyssa tries not to get upset.
Oliver ran his fingers through her hair.
Forcing her eyes closed, Nyssa curls into him.
Oliver played with Nyssa's hair until she fell asleep.
It wasn't long before she was asleep.
Oliver kissed her head. He got up silently and left to take a shower.
When he came back, Nyssa was awake and nursing Ariana.
"Hey." Oliver said softly.
The brunette doesn't look up, her attention on the nursing baby.
Oliver kissed her head.
"Do you still love her?" Nyssa whispers, glancing up at him.
"Who?" Oliver asked.
"Laurel." The brunette responds, finally looking up.
Oliver sighed. "Yes,"
Pain fills Nyssa's eyes and she instantly looks back down.
"I'm sorry." Oliver said.
"Do you want to be with her?" Nyssa asks, not looking at him.
Oliver shook his head. "I want to be with you."
"That's not what I'm asking Oliver, you clearly still love her. Do you want to be with her?" The assassin asks once more.
"No. She was my first love, I'll always love her but it's you I want to be with." Oliver said.
Taking a deep breath, Nyssa finally looks up at him. "Then why have you been all over her?"
Oliver sighed. "She's my friend."
"Sara's my friend and first love, yet I'm not constantly touching her or moving closer to her while we talk." Nyssa responds.
"Laurel lost someone really close to her. I was comforting her." Oliver said.
Nyssa frowns. "Who did she lose?"
"Her boyfriend." Oliver said. "She didn't tell many people about him."
Nyssa moves to lay Ariana in her crib and fixes her shirt.
Oliver sighed. "I'm sorry. I'll distance myself from her if that helps."
Shaking her head, Nyssa gets up. "I can't do this." she mumbles.
Oliver frowned. "Do what?"
Grabbing her shoes, Nyssa pulls them on. "You want to be with her. I can see it in your eyes."
"I want to be with you." Oliver said.
"You also want to be with her Husband." The assassin responds.
"I don't know what you want me to do." Oliver said.
Closing her eyes, Nyssa lets a single tear fall. "Forget it."
"Talk to me." Oliver said.
"I want you to choose Oliver." Nyssa responds. "Without thinking, I want you to choose."
Oliver swallows thickly and looks at her, he opens his mouth to speak, only to hesitate.
Pain instantly fills Nyssa's eyes and she looks down. She got up and left the room.
