Sara's Decision

Chapter 22

The next day Oliver and Sara arrived in Central City early in the morning. Oliver looked at the piece of paper that Barbara had given him with Samantha's address on it. They pulled up in front of a house that looked very nice.

"I am kind of nervous about this. I hate the fact that I cheated on you sister and this happened, but I am also happy that I am a father." Oliver said.

"Yeah, I know William was born from you not being faithful to Laurel, but I think you would be a great father." Sara said.

"Ok, I guess I had better get this over with." Oliver said as he went up and rang the doorbell.

About a minute later the door opened and Samantha look at Oliver in surprise. "What are you doing here Oliver?" Samantha asked.

"I was looking for dirt on my mother and I came across a check that mom wrote to you and I figured out that she must have paid you off to tell me that you had a miscarriage." Oliver said.

"Yeah she did. I never used it though. I didn't want my son anywhere near your family." Samantha said.

"I can understand that. Thea and I have pretty much cut mom out of our lives as well. She has done a lot of things that I don't agree with." Oliver said.

"In that case, if you can show me that you have changed, I might consider letting you have some visitation right." Samantha said.

"I am not the same person I was before the Gambit. I am trying to be better." Oliver said.

"I can see that by some of the news that I have heard since you got back. If you want to meet William you can, but for right now you are just a friend of mine. Once I see that you are capable of being in William's life, I will see about telling him you are his father." Samantha said.

"That sounds good to me." Oliver said.

Oliver walked to the room the Samantha told him was William's and knocked on the door. William looked up and asked, "Do I know you mister?"

"No, I am a friend of your mom's and she said that I could come in and meet you." Oliver said.

"Well it is nice to meet you." William said.

"My name is Oliver. I see you like superhero toys. Which ones do you have?" Oliver asked.

"I have the Green Arrow, White Canary, and Black Canary. They are my favorites." William said.

"I live in Starling City and you know what I heard." Oliver said

"What's that?" William asked.

"I heard that the Green Arrow has added some more people to his crusade." Oliver said.

"I wonder when their toys will come out?" William asked.

"It will be a while. No one really knows about them yet." Oliver said.

"Ok. I will just have to get them when they come out." William said.

"Well it was nice meeting you William. If it is ok with you, I would like to come and see you sometimes. I will talk to you mom about it." Oliver said.

"That would be nice. See you later." William said.

"So, how did it go?" Sara asked.

"William seems to be a good boy Samantha. You raised him well." Oliver said.

"Thanks. If you want to stop by every several weeks and visit him, I am up for that. After a while, I will see about telling him who you really are." Samantha said.

"I would like that, and Thanks. I would like him to know who I really am, but that is your choice." Oliver said.

"Ollie, Let's go and let them get back to what they were doing. We will come back in a couple of weeks." Sara said and Oliver nodded.

"Yeah, we will get out of your hair. It was good to see you again Samantha and it was good to meet William as well." Oliver said.

"I will see you two next time." Samantha said waving goodbye.

Oliver and Sara decided to stay in Central City for the rest of the day and go and see Sara's mother. Once they had eaten dinner with her mother, they headed back to Starling City.

"So, that was a good day. I got to meet my son and you got to see your mom. So, what do you want to do now?" Oliver asked.

"I would like to go home and go to bed. We got up so early to get here as early as we did. I need my beauty sleep." Sara said.

"You don't need beauty sleep. You look beautiful all of the time." Oliver said.

"If you keep that up, you might get lucky tonight before we go to sleep." Sara said with a wink.

"All part of my plan. Haha, no if am just kidding. If you need sleep, I will let you get it." Oliver said.

"Oh, I think I can do both. After seeing you with William today, its kind of turned me on." Sara said.

"Well in that case. I could never say no to you anyways." Oliver said.

"Oh, I know. You can't say no to either of us Lance sisters. It is like our superpower or something like that." Sara said.

"Well I guess I am in trouble then, because the team is full of women, I can't say no to." Oliver said as they returned to their apartment for the night.
