There it was again, that sickening feeling she got every time she stood up and found herself running to the toilet hoping that no one would see her. For the past week it hadn't been so bad but her leg was killing her and she would go through fazes of wanting to pig out and wanting to eat nothing at all.

It was a normal Friday night at the mountain, she was watching some stupid programme about nature which she didn't have any interest in. What was worse was she knew she had an up-coming mission.

"Artemis can I speak with you?" Black Canary asked, she stood up and walked into the small room where they had spoken after the fail safe mission

"How are you feeling?" She asked

"Fine, just peachy…" Artemis murmured, Black Canary studied her closely

"I have arranged some doctors' appointments; there was something else I wanted to talk with you about as well…" She wandered off in speech

"What?" She asked with a clenched door

"Umm, how can I put this? I told Oliver, and before you say anything he was worried about you. He wanted to take you on a mission and I interjected saying no" Artemis sat in her seat frozen. Oliver would be so ashamed of her, why would he want to help her anymore

"He hates me doesn't he? Oh, god what am I going to do!" She yelled putting her face in her hand

"He doesn't hate you Artemis; he is actually coming over later to see how you are, he is worried for you" She said calmingly, Artemis looked up from her hands to the blonde woman sitting in front of her and nodded.

She had to get out of there not before…

"Artemis! Oh god Arty are you alright, I would have been here sooner" He said embracing her in a hug, she was surprised by the gesture but didn't hesitate to hug him back. He led her into the room with Black Canary she gave him a quick kiss before leaving the room.

He sat down and took off his mask, for a moment she felt like he was going to give her a lecture about the whole mess

"I'll pay for everything" He said,

"What?" She retorted in surprise,

"All the doctors' appointments, food, supply anything you need even if you want to…" She knew what he meant; he was talking about an abortion

"No, I can't take your money Oliver, I won't" Artemis said hugging her stomach

"Yes you will, Artemis you're like a daughter to me. I'm not about to abandon you now" She was surprised; her only father had abandoned her. But now she thought about it, Oliver was the closest thing she has ever had to a father. He was always looking out for her and watching her back, she never took him for granted

"Oliver…I, thank you" She said, he squeezed her hand tightly

"Have you told Wally?" Artemis jumped up in surprise

"What? I-No, Wally and I are not-"

"Please the sexual tension between you two is un-believable" He said with a smirk she was about to retort with some smart come back but no words came out, if there was anyone she could tell she could tell Oliver

"No, I mean how can I? He has his whole life ahead of him and this would only ruin it for him" Artemis put a hand to her stomach at her little boy; she had never planned any of this. Wally was so smart; he was going to make it somewhere un-like her

"He isn't like that Arty, he would understand. He would know you didn't plan this and more to the point it was also his fault as well"

"How do I tell him?" She asked

"That's up to you Arty but whatever you do, make sure it's your choice" He said, they spoke for a while longer before he was called back in for a mission leaving Artemis to her own thoughts. She didn't know why she was being so critical about this; she knew Wally wouldn't just ditch her. He had a right to know; after all it is his son.

She walked out into the kitchen and pulled a slice of cake from the fridge, she was starving thank god Oliver knew her favourite foods and had stocked up the fridge for her. She put a big slice in her mouth and smiled because he had bought the one with the blue berries inside.

She walked into the training room to find Wally practising his one to one combat with a dummy, too bad the dummy was winning

"Hey Artemis" He said wiping the sweat from his forehead, he looked so hot it was too good to be true

"Hey dork, nice training method, the dummy is doing a good job" She laughed, he turned and punched the dummy in the head which came back to bite him as it bounced back and hit him in the face

"Ouch!" He said getting up to see blood coming out his nose

"Crap, here let me help" Artemis said walking over to get the first aid kit, he walked over holding his nose and lay down on the bench

"You're loving this aren't you" He gave a pained laugh

"Just a little" She giggled, pulling out and ice pack and some tissues, he sat up to face her and she started wiping away some of the blood. She carefully made sure not to hurt him anymore then the dummy did

"Your such a doofus" she laughed and put the ice pack on his nose, he took it happily. She went to stand up and that dizzy, sick feeling swept over her again. She quickly sat back down putting a hand on her stomach

"You OK?" Wally asked sincerely putting his free hand on her arm trying to steady her

"Yeah I'm fine" She breathed letting it pass

"No you're not; this isn't the first time this has happened. It's actually been happening to you a lot lately" He snorted

"If I didn't know any better I'd say you were pregnant" He laughed, then pausing realising his words. Artemis had stayed quiet while he went over his theories but her heart was going at a million miles per hour.

"Artemis?" He asked in an un-easy tone

"I have to go" She said standing up, the dizziness fell over her again but she tried to avoid it walking quicker towards the exit. She felt faint and light headed, she was sweating and her legs were giving out. She fell to the floor before she heard Wally call her name dropping the ice pack and running towards her. That's when the black engulfed her.
