Suspended

"Tommy, why aren't you ready for school yet? You're going to be late."

"Daddy said I didn't have to go to school today."

"Are you feeling ok sweetie?"

"Yep."

"Then why is Daddy letting you stay home?"

"Daddy said I wasn't supposed to tell you."

"Oh did he now?"

"Mmhmmm."

"Honey, why don't you go upstairs and play in your room and tell Daddy that Mommy needs to talk to him right now."

"Ok."


"What's up hon, you're going to be late for work."

"Why is our son skipping school today?"

"Uh..."

"Oliver, the truth please."

"He may have been suspended for…"

"What? Tommy's only six years old and he's already getting suspended from school!"

"Honey, calm down. It's only for a few days."

"A few days?! What did he do? Did he hit someone? He hit someone didn't he? This is all your fault, you and your vigilante DNA."

"Felicity. Take a deep breath. According to the principal Tommy was pretending to shoot an imaginary bow and arrow in the playground. Turns out the school has a zero-tolerance policy on violence, even make-believe."

"You've been telling him bedtime stories about the Green Arrow again haven't you?"

"..."

"Oliver!"

"I can't say no to him when he pouts and looks at me with those puppy dog eyes. He learnt that from you."

"And they didn't call me into the school because?"

"You were in a meeting and I didn't want you to worry."

"And you didn't tell me last night...?"

"You were in a good mood and I didn't want to ruin it."

"..."

"I handled it. The principal wanted to suspend Tommy for a week, and I convinced him to take it down to three days instead because it was an imaginary weapon."

"Who's going to be looking after Tommy for the next three days?"

"I'm taking him into the office with me today. Thea said she'd look after him tomorrow and Lila's taking him on Friday."

"You really thought you could hide this from me, didn't you?"

"..."

"We're talking about this when I get home tonight."

"See you tonight. I Love you."


"Oliver Jonas Queen!"

"Did you forget something?"

"Look at this. Our son is on the cover of People Magazine!"

"How did you find that?"

"Thea accidentally sent it to me. Our six year old is already making the front page of the tabloids!"

"Only because he's the Mayor's son."

"My baby is following in his father's footsteps."

"You make it sound like it's a bad thing."

"..."

"What?"

"This is not something you should be proud of."

"I'm not…"

"You're smiling!"

"Maybe just a little."

"Oliver!"

"You should get going; you're going to be late for your meeting."

"Fine. I'll see you tonight. At least I don't have any doubts about Tommy's paternity anymore."

"Felicity come back here! Felicity! What did you mean by doubts? Felicity!"
