My name is Olivia Mia Smoak. My father, Oliver Queen left with his father on their yacht for a business trip. The yacht went down, making my father leave behind my mother and unbeknownst to him, me. For 10 years my mother and I were lead to believe that he died on that trip…until today.

It was a cloudy Wednesday morning. Me and my mother, Felicity Smoak were sitting at the table eating breakfast before I had to go to school. I push my glasses up onto my face then take a bite of cereal. My mother was sitting across from me with the news on in the background. A noise sounds from the TV announcing that there is breaking news.

~" Breaking news! Billionaire Oliver Queen, who was assumed to be dead for 10 years has been found alive on an island off of china. Rescuers have taken him back to Starling City where he can finally be reunited with friends and family. More on this story later."~

My mother dropped the spoon from her cereal and it clatters onto the floor. She walks toward the TV where they are showing an enlarged photo of a man with long blonde hair and facial hair next to a picture of a younger man, clean shaven in the picture he has his arm around a girl who I immediately recognize as my mother. I walk over to her.

"Mom? Is that my dad?

"Y…ya that's him...um…I got to get you to school" She runs her fingers through her hair obviously stressed out. Before I turn to get my school bag there is a knock at the door and my Aunt Laurel walks in.

"Aunt Laurel!" I yell and run to her hugging her. She isn't really my aunt but her and my mom have known each other for a long time. She hugs me back and kisses my head.

"Well, there is my favorite niece! Why don't you go wait in the car I have to talk to your mom. "

I nod and grab my bag then head to the car.

Felicity's POV

I wait until the door is shut and look at Laurel.

"Is it true? have you seen him? Has Tommy? What about-"

She puts her hands on my shoulder cutting me off.

"Yes, it is true. No, I have not seen him and Tommy is going later today. Are you ok?"

I sit down and look at my hands. Was I ok? The man I loved ten years ago, the man I have a child with was dead. He was dead that's what everyone had told me. I had moved on with my life. Olivia and I had got along without him but now…its like my whole world is at a stand still. How could he be alive? How could someone survive a shipwreck and live on an island for 10 years? It's impossible. I look up at Laurel through my glasses realizing I haven't answered her question and just shake my head. She gives me hug.

Laurel and I became close when Oliver died. It was revealed that her little sister went with him. That he had cheated on me with her little sister, Sara and they were both lost in the wreck. She was there for me through my whole pregnancy and has stood by my side ever since. Both her and Tommy, her boyfriend were there. They're even Olivia's godparents.

Laurel kneels in front of me.

"Why don't we go together. You have to see him at some point. To tell him about Liv." I look at her through the tears forming in my eyes.

"What am I going to say to him? 'Hey even though I haven't seen you in ten years wanna meet your daughter you have no idea about?'"

She chuckled

"Just talk to him. Tell him about this amazing girl you both have. You and I can go and drop Olivia at school and head to the hospital."

"Alright let's go." I wipe my eyes and we head out the door.
