Title Of Story: Father and Son
Chapter Number: 1
Chapter Name: The Accident

Samantha
When I look at my son, Joshua, I can't help but think of his father. Oliver Queen. Oliver and I were not serious, infact he cheated on his long term girlfriend Laurel when he slept with me. Joshua looks so much like Oliver and I hate myself a lot because it's my fault that Oliver is not around for Joshua, I told Oliver that I had lost the baby when I was pregnant. He was so nice to me about it, asked if there was anything he could do and I just hung up the phone and never spoke or looked at him again. I know I shouldn't have done that but his mother basically forced me away. She gave me $1 million for Joshua and basically told me that if Oliver had this baby with me it would ruin his life. I know I should have been stronger but I was an 18 year old girl who was just about to start college and she was a big powerful woman, I took the money and I ran. I never did cash in the cheque.

There were so many times that I wanted to just show up on Oliver's front door and tell him everything that happened between me and his mother but I never got the chance. When Joshua was 2 months old Oliver got onto his family's ship, The Queen's Gambit, and there was some sort of accident. The ship sank and everyone aboard was supposed to be dead but by some miracle Oliver made it to a deserted island and he was there for five years until he was rescued by some fishermen. When the news broke I was in shock and I had no idea what to do, I thought he was dead and I had prepared my speech over the years so that I could explain to Joshua that his father died but I couldn't tell him that. I tried showing up at Queen Consolidated when I heard that he was CEO but on the way in Moira, his mother, spotted me and she got security to escort me away. She told me that if she ever heard from me again she would have me arrested and so I went home with Joshua and I left them to it.

I thought about going back when I heard that Moira had died but Oliver was mourning the loss of his mother, I didn't seem right to show up and tell him all of the horrible things his mother did to me. I didn't want to ruin the memory he had of her, I didn't want him to hate her. That wouldn't be fair to Oliver. Once again I backed out of going to see him and giving Joshua the chance to know his father and Oliver the chance to know his son. I don't care what people think of me, they can think I'm a bitch or whatever but I believe I made the best decision with what I had at the time. I was only 18 and I was unmarried and I hadn't graduated high school, Oliver was 22 years old and in a serious relationship with someone else. Nothing good would have come from me and Oliver having Joshua together at that time in our lives and ever since there has just been an obstacle in the way.

Now would be a good time for the two of them to meet, well as good as a time as any, better late then never and all that. I know Oliver will probably hate me for everything and he might think that I was only interested in the money but it was never about the money. I just wanted what was best for my child, I haven't even spent a dime of the $1 million that Moira gave me. I was going to put it into an account for Joshua so that he could go to whatever college he wanted and do whatever it was he wanted to do. I thought about it for a long time but my son did not need any money off that woman.

Speaking of Joshua, I should probably get him up for school now. He is not a morning child, like every other child in the world, he's more of a night owl. Again like Oliver. When I knew Oliver he was never awake before 1pm, even when he was at school.

Recently Joshua and I moved back to what is now called Star City and I left Central City. It never felt like home to me. I know things are bad in Star City but we found a nice place to live and it was near Joshua's school and there was a pretty little park close by for him to play in after school. I liked it here and although Joshua hated moving schools, he now has friends and he seemed to fit in well and he's now settled. I knew if Joshua didn't settle I would have to move back to Central City and let Joshua go back to his old school and friends… that is what would have made him happy.

"Joshua, don't run off. You have to hold my hand remember" I told Joshua as I locked the front door behind us, whilst making sure I had everything with me and making sure Joshua had all of his school things and his shoes on the right feet. He insists on doing them himself now as it is what all the other big boys in his school do but he hasn't caught the concept of left and right just yet.

"Mommy, hurry up!" Joshua called as he made his way down to the street.

"I'm coming" I replied as I caught up to him and grabbed his hand "Are you excited for school today?" I asked him.

"Yeah! Mrs Finley said that today was going to be a very fun day and she had a surprise for us" He said excitedly.

"Well that sounds exciting" I told him.

The two of us came to a road. Joshua has a habit of stepping off the curb without looking, I held onto Joshua's hand a little tighter to stop him. I looked both ways and made sure the road was clear before stepping into the road.

A screech made me turn my head, a car was coming towards me after turning the corner. I pushed Joshua out of the way as the collided with me.

All I could see above me was white and I could hear a lot of different beeping. I turned my head and saw that I was in hospital, I tried sitting up but I couldn't move, I was in too much pain. My stomach ached and it was hurting to breath. Oh God I really hope that Joshua is OK and I managed to push him out of the way in time. Where is he? He should be here with me.

"Miss Myers?" A voice questioned.

I turned my head and saw a police officer standing in uniform standing in the doorway "Who are you? Where is my son?" I asked the officer.

"My name is Officer Grundy from Star City Police Department. Joshua is in the canteen with one of my colleagues, I'm sure he'll be back soon. I just wanted to speak to you before he came back. Do you know what happened?" He asked me.

"I was crossing the road with Joshua when a car turned the corner. I pushed Joshua out of the way and then I woke up here" I explained.

"I am so sorry to be telling you this. The car that hit you was being pursued by a police car and it was speeding to get away" He told me.

"What?!" I exclaimed "OW!" I called out as the first call out caused a strong and deadly pain shoot through my stomach.

"I really am sorry. Is there someone you would like us to call? Someone to come and sit with you or look after Joshua whilst you're here?" He asked.

"No" I answered.

The doctor came in and asked Officer Grundy to leave so they could speak to me. Why did everyone want to talk to me and ask me questions? I just want to see Joshua and make sure that he's ok, why can't I see him?

"I'm Doctor Jones and I have been looking after you. I'm guessing you want to see your son but I do want to speak to you without Joshua hearing this" She told me.

"What is it?" I questioned.

"You have some very serious injuries, not just externally but internally as well. The only way to try and save your life is to operate but I'm afraid to say we cannot guarantee that the surgery be a success. Your internal bleeding is in a very difficult place to reach. We need your permission to operate before we do" She explained to me.

"I can't believe this" I said as tears started dripping from my eyes and down my cheeks.

"I am very sorry. Do you have family that can be here?" She asked.

"Call Oliver Queen. He's Joshua's father" I told her.

"OK, we'll get right on it" Dr Jones replied. I heard a small voice from outside my room and knew instantly that it was Joshua "I'll leave the two of you alone" She said and left the room.

Joshua came into the room and jumped on the chair beside my bed. I grabbed his hand and started crying even more which put me in more pain "Mommy, what's wrong?" He asked me sweetly.

"Nothing. I am just so happy to see you" I told him.

"When can we go home?" He asked me.

"Oh Sweetie. I don't know when I can go home. When I was hit by the car it hurt me really bad. I have to go for an operation and the doctors are going to try and make me feel better… but… well the doctor said they don't know if they can make me feel better" I explained to him. I didn't want the whole thing to come as a surprise if something did happen to me. It was better to tell him that I was very sick and that I might not be able to get better.

"What if they don't make you feel better?" Joshua asked.

"Then you will have to go and live with someone else" I told him.

"Who?" He asked.

"Your daddy" I replied.
