It seemed things were going back to normal for the Arrow's Alton started back teaching at interstellar and helping amelia and Delbert with their four children . and had acually become a father figure type to Jim. Phil had tried to get him 'a lady' friend which had failed thus far and this day they were sitting at the BenBow's backporch .

"Arrow tell me something" "Yes?" "what did you and your wife split?" Alton let out a deep sigh . "I honestly do not know phillip she left me.." Phil let out a small "oh I see. ..do you still love her?" "Honestly i still do." He said quitely. "Sounds like that daughter of yours is on somebody." "You're right." He said getting up to see the matter.

Jen was inside helping Sarah and Jim set up for the holiday rush they normally had this time of year of people wanting to see the 'winter' scene. Jen worked there part time as a waitress when school wasn't crazy and tonight they all were going to stay there. she had her back turned when the front door bells chimed to let her knowsome one came in. "Be with you in a moment." she said over her shoulder.

"Well I only need to speak to one person." something about the voice drew to her but who... "Alright who ya need maybe I can get them?" She said still not turning around. "I'm looking for my daughter Jeanine Arrow I was told she worked here."

Jen turned around quickly and seen whom she was . "Mom?" "Jen." christina smiled at Jen's shocked face. "W-what are you doing here?""I was told something happen to your father." "He is fine mother now you can go back to where ever you've been the past nearly seven years!"

Just then Alton came in and stood there looking like he seen a ghost. "C-christina? " "alton." both looked at one another with the same expresstion , "W-what are you doing here?" "aLton can we talk..alone?" he nodded and open the kichen door looking at Jen before he stepped inside. "Was that you mom? "Jen her Jim's voice ask. "Yeah that was her."

"Why is she here?" "I dunno.." "Your mother?" Amelia asked coming in the room. "Yes." Amelia didn't seem to happy..

After ten more minuets the door open again. "amelia." "Christina?" "It's been a while ." "Yes , yes it has.i'll be back to morrow Alton." and she looked at Jen and said , "No matter what happened I still love you." Jen never said a word till she was gone , "What does she mean dad?"

Alton sat down and choose his thoughts carefully , "Your mother and I are going to work things out. " Jen looked at her father like he'd lost his mind , "Dad.." "Sit down here." he patted the seat next to him and she sat . "Jen..I'm not gettign any younger...and I do still love your mother." she nodded and he hugged her , "I know it'll be harder for you then myself..."

Amelia looked at Alton and smiled but didnt full understand her best friends reasoning either and she tugged on Jim's sleeve to get him to leave.

"D-dad I don't get it." "Jen.. I Dont expect you to. but believe me I will only do what is best for you. that I promise." "I know dad.."she smiled at him. He had a sudden coughing spell. "Are you alright? ""Yes yes I am." "you sure." "Yes I am must be dust or allergies." "Alright...good night." "Good night Jenny I love you." "I love you too daddy." Jen climbed up the stairs wondering why her life had just been twisted into something unreal...
