Two

Lian Yu 2012

Two figures ran through the woods and over the cliffs. One used his bow to shoot an arrow causing a huge fire. This fire caused the fisherman to come to the island. From that point they had to hurry. The other figure was being helped by the first and from what the fisherman could see the second figure was holding something close to her chest. The figures looked up to reveal Oliver Queen and Tessa Connors. Long thought to be dead they were coming home with a few surprises.

Starling General 2012

Tessa, who had been finally cleaned up and her hair cut, was sleeping on the hospital bed with the small child curled around her. Her brown hair curled over her shoulder and she seemed so peaceful but he knew that it wouldn't last. The horrors they saw over the past five years had been enough to change them both completely and now they had a mission, a new family. Oliver continued to look out the window as he heard the doctor talking with his mother wondering how she would take all the new changes.

"Moira I want you to be prepared. Oliver and Tessa have changed, they might not be who they were before they left and considering they now have a child together I would not expect them to go back to their way of life from before," the doctor advised and Oliver had to admit it was good. He heard the door open but still kept his back to the room waiting for what he didn't know.

"Oliver," his mother's voice called and he turned to look at her taking his his mother and how she had changed. She seemed so happy, so relieved to see him but five years going through hell with only Tessa as his true companion he didn't know what to do.

"Mom," he whispered softly acknowledging her presence.

"Oh my sweet boy," she said wrapping her arms around his neck.

At first Oliver was tense since the only contact he had was with Tessa but then he relaxed into his mother's arms and held her back. It had been so long since he had been able to hug her that he didn't think it possible ever again. He heard a whimper from his son and pulled away to pick him up so that Tessa would not wake up. She moved a little but otherwise stayed asleep, most likely because she felt that it was him there not a threat.

"Mom I'd like you to meet your grandson Connor," Oliver introduced softly and the boy in question turned to look at her.

"Oh he looks so much like you," Moira said wanting to touch him but not knowing if it would be okay.

Oliver could see his mother hesitate but he knew she was safe, that she wouldn't hurt his son and it seemed that like Tessa their son was smart because the boy held his hand out to Moira in curiousity. He watched as his son, who was the spitting image of him, ran a hand down her face before smiling at her. It seemed that the boy decided that was enough because he curled back up into his arms and Oliver ran a hand through his now short blonde hair. Oliver knew that things had changed, that this situation was going to change things and while he was no longer in love with Laurel he still wanted to be able to apologize to her. He had a feeling though that things might not always go his way.

Tessa held her son to her closely grateful for the help that Moira had given in helping cut her son's hair as well as her's and freshen up. She stepped out of the limo and followed her lover to the trunk needing to have him in her sight. She was afraid that he would change his mind and leave her for Laurel or somebody better even though he had reassured her time and time again that he wouldn't.

"I got it," Oliver said stopping someone from grabbing their trunk and his green eyes met her brown ones.

"This should be interesting," she whispered coming to stand beside him their sides touching.

"Я люблю тебя и только тебя" he spoke softly in Russian since it was just them.

"И я вас" she whispered back softly so that no one else heard them.

Oliver could see that his lover, a woman he loved above all, was nervous but there were many things she was nervous about so it would take time for him to find out. He knew that she was afraid he would go back to Laurel but he wouldn't, his time on the island didn't just give him, well them, a mission it also made him realize just how wrong the relationship between him and the older Lance sister was but he still needed to apologize to her about Sara. He put a calming hand on her back as they walked inside and was greeted with a new face.

"Oliver this is Walter," she told him like he was a child and it irritated them both but they kept quiet.

"I worked for your father," he told Oliver softly smiling kindly and both of them could feel that this man was trustworthy but they were still tense because they had fought for five years to survive and protect their child.

Tessa smiled when she saw Raisa, having loved the older woman in the years she had known Oliver and walked with her lover to greet the older woman. She inhaled the familiar scent of the woman when she was pulled into a hug and pulled away to smile at her. She turned watchful eyes onto Oliver as he stood at the staircase to greet his little sister. Thea had grown into a beautiful young woman and Tessa had missed her greatly in the years she had been gone. Soon Thea was rushing over to her and hugging her as well. Tessa looked over the younger girl's shoulder to meet green eyes and both knew that things were not so simple anymore. They had a family that missed them, a son and most of all a mission but both of them knew that instead of being easier things were going to get harder for them.

Я люблю тебя и только тебя means I love you and only you
