"Seriously? The two of you, do you always have to drag me to your Science Exploration stuffs?" Oliver curled his lips as William dragged him to the rooftop.
"Stop complaining Dad! We have done this plenty of times. And you know that today I have an assignment about Stargazing and astronomy. Come on! Stop whining and it's friday night" the teenager chuckled on how his Dad still complains about this arrangement, but the kid knows for himself that his Father will enjoyed it again in the end.
"Where is Barry anyway?" they stopped midway on the rooftop as William released the Archer's calloused hand.
"Mama Bear bought Pizza at Coast City and some sodas" upon hearing where the speedster had gone to, Oliver can't helped but be worried. He knows Barry can handle himself, but this is becoming a regular routine now, when the two craved for Pizza it will always be the one from Coast City. No buts…..it's just that….
"Dad, don't worry...Mama Bear ate 3 calorie bars" William squeezed his Father's forearm to alleviate his Father's anxiousness. He knows that his Dad is just worried, because there is this one time that Barry forgot to take his calorie bars and he was not back for another 5 hours that they needed to track him down, which he is still in Coast City and had almost suffered from hypoglycemia.
10 minutes later they were greeted by a gust of wind.
"Miss me?" the speedster grinned cockily at both Father and Son, carrying ten boxes of Pizza and 5 Liters of sodas.
"Hey Bear, you keep on spoiling William" the archer crossed his arms but the tone of his voice doesn't carry any vexation.
"Come on Ollie, stop pretending that you are angry. Love you!" Barry pecked a chaste kiss on the archer lips and to William's forehead who is giggling at their interaction, Oliver helped out in carrying the Pizza boxes while William carried the sodas.
"Wow! Look Mama Bear! Dad! The sky is painted in yellow-orange on the right side and the other side is almost midnight blue, the Sun and Moon stands side by side together! Cool!" the teenager grabbed his camera and took a photo of this rare phenomenon.
Barry and Oliver watched in awe on how the sunset and moonrise complimented each other.
"Mama Bear you are the Sun, while Dad is the moon" both men was taken out of their reverie as William approached them and grabbed both their hands to the makeshift bed on the rooftop, there is also a big telescope beside it which is a gift from Barry and Oliver to William on his birthday.
"Is that so? Well, we know that Barry is the Sun because he is the light of our life kid. He pulled us out of Darkness and misery. But why I am the Moon?" the three of them sat down on the makeshift bed and grabbed their first box of pizza.
"Because, the moon can dispel the darkness and can illuminate the path. I mean the moon can't leave without the sun vice versa, so the sun can take a rest while the moon takes care of the night. It is hard to explain but I know the moon acquires its light from the sun. But to me they seem to balance out. The moon can either be dark and light. Like balanced…they compliment each other right? And you fight crimes mostly at night. I don't know if I am making any sense" William scratched the back of his head as he is trying to explain why his Dad is the moon.
Oliver Queen can't help but to smile warmly to his son and ruffled his hair.
"I am the star by the way Mama Bear and Dad, because I can form constellations! Isn't that cool!"
"Yeah, yeah you are the star so can you please create my favorite constellation right now Baby Willie?" Barry tickled William on his side.
The three of them laughed as they enjoyed the whole night stargazing and looking at different planets through the use of a telescope. And of course eating the special Coast City Pizza.
Mayor Oliver Queen couldn't ask for more on how his life is perfect right now. What more when he and Barry tied the knot 2 months from now and Barry will soon carry his name. He knows that in the future, there will be ups and downs, but he knows that they will go through it together.
Everyone at STAR Labs stood quiet and only the strong sound of the flatline can be heard from the monitors. William is shaking, tears falls freely from his wrinkled eyes. He is denying that Barry is gone, his Mama Bear is gone….they have lost their sun like a supernova and the feeling of nothingness overpowered like blackhole.
"Kate! Defibrillator! Hurry!" everyone in the room started moving as Wallace shouted to the young Doctor to revive the speedster.
Oliver Queen still remained in his place frozen, he can't believe what was happening. They were so close...so...so close….in saving the love of his life. But everything has gone into waste, because in the end it is still Barry who saved him.
20 minutes have passed of trying to revive Barry Allen, despite their best efforts they failed to save their beloved Central City hero. William can't take the scene anymore and he rushed towards Music Meister, where he is currently standing.
"Do something! Help him!" he grabbed Music Meisters collar out of pure rage. Despite his age William can still show a great amount of strength like his Father.
Music Meister look solemnly at the younger Queen "I am so sorry William, there is nothing we can do about it. As I said if Barry dies inside the dream world, he will die in the real world. He died protecting your Father from Adrian Chase's last attack".
William's eyes widened when he heard that Barry had protected his Father from the final attack. He still denies the truth profusely, he is shaking badly until he felt a warm hand on his shoulder. When he glanced who it was, it is his Father Oliver Queen with a solemn look on his face.
"William, please stop. Let go of him. He did his best" Oliver shook his head and William let go of Music Meister.
"Dad, how can you be so calm about this! Barry is gone! All the efforts has gone into waste! We both suffered for 50 years! I cannot talk to him anymore! We can't laugh together anymore, I can't feel his warm hugs anymore! Why are you so calm about this! Why!? Aren't you hurt?" William is being hysterical right now and he went to Barry's side and hugged the speedster "Mama Bear! Please wake up! You are still in there! Please! You can't leave us like this. You are so unfair….we will still eat that famous Coast City Pizza right? Please come back to us….please…." he sobbed uncontrollably into the speedsters lifeless body. Everybody inside the room started to shed tears and both Robert and Samantha went to their Father's side.
Oliver Queen, did not shed a single tear…..
xxxxxxxxxxx
"Barry...don't do this to me….please...save your strength. We will go out here together. William is waiting on the other side…our son misses you so much….please..." Oliver is trying to calm himself, but he knows that Barry's injury is fatal.
"Ol..li...e….please….tell….m….my...Ba...by…..Willie…..that….I miss….him...too….and…..love...h...im….so….much…" Barry is trying to fight for his consciousness, but his eyes is giving up on him.
"Love…..can't….hold...on...much….longer…sleepy…" Barry continues to cough out a lot of blood.
Barry used the last of his strength and made his final vow to Oliver Queen. The Green Archer accepted fully the fate of his beloved.
"I, Oliver Jonas Queen take Bartholomew Henry Allen as my beloved husband for richer or poorer in sickness and in health til death do us part" after saying his vows to Barry the Green Archer can no longer hold back his tears and he kissed the speedsters hand.
"Oliver Jonas Queen…..I will always love you til the end of time….I...will see….you soon…..my….love….goodnight…." and with Barry's final words and the last bits of his strength his eyes slowly closed, his body went limp. But with a smile on his face.
"Bartholomew Henry Queen...I will always love you til the end of time. Sweet dreams Bear. I will see you soon" and he kissed Barry deeply.

Oliver told William everything about their short conversation and Barry's final words. How much the speedster loves William so much and how he still calls him his Baby Willie. He saw his son cried and it reminds him of his younger self, when he cries until he fell asleep in the speedsters arms and Oliver arriving late at night from his Mayor duties and asking what happened to the boy.
"Dad, why are you not crying?" William asked in a soft tone although you can still hear his little hiccups. Father and Son, sharing a drink of Russian Vodka.
"Son, because we exchanged our final vows and I believe we will see each other soon. I know that Barry is already waiting for me on the other side and I am ready" he turned his gaze to his son reflecting his own solid blue eyes with love.
"No, you can't….you can't leave me too Dad...this reminds me everytime, when you are on a very hard mission as the Green Arrow I can't help but be worried and lonely…..that one day someone will kill you.." he gently squeezed his Father's wrinkled hand, it was cold.
"But I did not die and I am still here Son. We aged together, although your Mama Bear is a bit unfair retaining his beautiful youthful face" they both laughed at that statement.
"William, a lot of people loves you. I am not worried about you even when I am gone. I can see that. Team Flash and Team Arrow supports you, you have Robert and Samantha. They adore you so much, and I am proud of you that you were able to raise them perfectly. Whilst, I am not to you. I became a broken man after what happened to Barry. I pushed you away for how many years. But you know, I am grateful that despite my hostile action towards you….you loved me unconditionally…..I am so sorry William….I love you so much Son….I want you to know that..." Oliver started to shed tears as he said what he felt to William.
"Dad, I understand how much it pained you. I know Mama Bear will do the same as I did. We will both stay at your side no matter what happens. I love you too so much Dad…and when I pushed you away before you didn't gave up on me….I guess we are even..." they clinked their glass together and in front of them stands a beautiful photo of Barry.
And that night William and Oliver stayed at each other's side not letting go. Just like the old days.
"Dad? What happened here? What happened in Central City? Everything is in chaos" William approached his Father to the couch. He can see that their penthouse is in mayhem - shards of glass are scattered everywhere. Oliver Queen looked like a mess, his eyes bloodshot, a Russian Vodka in his hands. The young Queen looked everywhere, he can't find the other person that he loved the most. He just came back from a 2 week vacation from his friend from National City, when news hit him. He went back immediately begging his Father's bodyguards to bring him home.
"Dad? Where is Mama Bear?" he is terrified to ask his Father, but he has to know. Although he has a strong gut feeling that the answer he is waiting for is not that good.
His Father looked at his eyes, he looks so tired.
Oliver Queen finally speaks up in a raspy voice "Barry is gone…..the love of my life is gone".
William held his breath to avert himself from crying "What? How? We just talked 2 days ago Dad! You are lying! That is not true!" the teenager shouted.
This made Oliver look to his son again and mustered his strength to tell the whole truth "William listen, I know you are aware of Barry's crisis in saving Iris from Savitar right?" the boy nodded, he also sat down beside his Father to listen.
"You see Barry….his future self created a speedforce prison for Savitar. And then since we have defeated Savitar there is no one occupying that prison, the speedforce created a chaotic storm that is why our house right now is in shambles. A lot of people are getting hurt...and...he made his choice...he sacrificed himself to save us...to save Central City….I did my best to stop him...but he still left...I am so sorry…" after Oliver told William everything, the boy stood up and ran towards his bedroom crying his heart out.
On the succeeding month after Barry's sacrifice to the speedforce, Oliver decided that he and William will move back to Star City. Much to Team Flash's dismay, but they do understand that the Green Archer and his son needs some time to heal after the tragedy they both have faced in Lian Yu and now Barry's sacrifice.
William became distant...he talked less and he barely eats, which made Raisa their house staff worried.
One night Oliver couldn't take it anymore. William's actions reminds him of himself. He is hurting too, but he needs to be strong for the both of them.
After his duties as the Mayor, he went to his Son's room "William, are you in there? Can I come in please?".
"Go away! I don't need you!" he was deeply hurt when his Son is pushing him away, he can hear that his son is crying.
"I am sorry kid. I will not let you deal with this alone. I am coming in" when Oliver entered the room, it's a mess. And beside William is a photo of his late Mother Samantha Clayton and Barry Allen.
"Why? Why do I lose the people that I love? First Mom and now Barry! Why? And you didn't do anything about it! Why! Am I going to lose you too Dad? Tell me, don't I deserve to be happy and have a nice warm loving family?" his Son cried uncontrollably and Oliver rushed into his side and hugged him so tightly "Son, I won't let you deal with this alone. I will not die. You will not lose me. I promise. I am so sorry if I was not able to do anything for your Mother and Barry...I am so sorry". Oliver kissed his son's temple and shed a tear.
"Better keep that promise Dad…..and I forgive you.." and he hugged his Father back tightly.
3 days after Barry's death everyone became busy in preparing for the burial. Upon Oliver Queen's request Barry's body will be buried on the secret chamber below the Queen's mansion, containing high security and under Gideon's watch.

It's been a month eversince that fateful day, everyone moved on with their lives. And did their best in protecting their respective cities. The Flash as their inspiration.
It is also Oliver Queen's routine to stay at the Time Vault relieving memories of him and Barry. William did not uttered any word on his Father's behavior but it made him extremely worried, including Team Arrow & Team Flash. Oliver became quiet, not distant much to their delight. He became thinner, he doesn't eat that much and he look much older. William can't take this anymore so he decided to visit the Time Vault after a day's work at Queen Consolidated, where his Father seeks solitude.
"Dad, come on let's go home. It is dinner time, Samantha prepared your favorite….Dad? Hey..." he moved closer to where his Father is currently sitting in a lazy boy chair and his eyes are closed, he looks peaceful and he is smiling? In the background a video of Barry singing some funny Christmas Songs can be heard. He took notice of a large photo frame where a picture of the three of them are being stored, wearing matching Disney Sweaters. His Father hugging it so tight, like someone might steal it from his hold.
"Hey Dad, wake up….let's go home" William keeps on shaking his Father but he did not received any response. Tears are starting to form on his eyes, but he has to be strong. He knows that soon, his Father needs to go and join Barry on the other side happily. He held his Father's hand….it was so cold….and he can't feel any pulse.
Oliver Jonas Queen….died peacefully with a smile on his face….
Oliver was also buried on the Secret Chamber below the Queen's mansion beside Barry. William puts a big picture of them together in the chamber. Their Pre-Wedding Photo. Their smiles are so carefree "I am going to miss the both of you, please watch over us…I love you Dad and Mama Bear".
Oliver Jonas Queen
Beloved Husband…
Beloved Father….
Beloved Son…
Beloved Mayor….
Star City's Hero….
Date of Birth: March 16, 1985
Date of Death: December 22, 2067
Christmas Day is very gloomy at the Queen's Mansion. Although you can hear Christmas Carols outside, the loud laughter of Samantha's children. William can't help it but to feel deep sorrow, he sips on his Russian Vodka. His Father's favorite while holding the photo frame his Father is holding, upon his passing.
Silent Night
Holy Night
All is calm
All is bright
Round your virgin
Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Despite his sadness, William can't help but put a smile on his face as he knows who is his late night visitor.
"Merry Christmas Music Meister, what brings you here? Care to join me? That song suits me. Thank you." William poured a generous amount of vodka and offered it to the man.
"Sure William, how are you? And thank you for this Russian Vodka. Oliver Queen's Favorite…Merry Christmas" the two shared a toast and smiled at each other.
"I am okay Music Meister, thank you for your help last time in defeating Chase. I was not able to thanked you properly and I deeply apologize for my hostile attitude towards you" William reached out for Music Meister's hand for a handshake, and the other mirrored the gesture.
"It is fine no problem. I know you are hurting" he smiled warmly with a mix of remorse.
"Don't feel guilty about it. You did your best. My Dad and Barry are together now. So, everything is going to be fine" Music Meister nodded and he emptied his glass of vodka. William was about to offer for another shot but he politely declined.
"Mr. Queen, what is your greatest wish?" William was caught off-guard to the man's question. But he never had any second thought so he answered it truthfully.
"Maybe turned back the time where Barry is awake and healthy, he and Dad will spoil me with all kinds of things. We will laugh, cry and get mad at each other. Sounds silly right, but I know it would be impossible anyways. But wishing is free so it's fine" William laughed painfully and took another shot of his Vodka.
Music Meister raised both of his eyebrows, upon hearing William's tone of being hopeless "It looks like you have forgotten Barry Allen's Motto…."
It took minutes for William to absorb what the man meant "Always believe in the impossible, he always tells me that" he smiled at the memory every time Barry tells him on how happy he was when he became the impossible.
Music Meister smiled, he knows that William Queen has a good heart and a keeper.
"William, I want you to have these…this is my gift to you..." he placed two small bottles with small orbs inside, the other is a solid blue and the other one is a yellowish-green, which caught the older Queen's interest.
"Barry Allen and Oliver Queen's Soul" the older man was startled on what he had heard from Music Meister's mouth.
"Are you kidding me? How could these be my Dad and Barry's soul!? This must be a big joke!" he suddenly slammed his glass of vodka on his table, Music Meister has to hold the two vials protectively from William's action and he collapsed on the floor wide eyed and looking at Music Meister's eyes with disbelief. Not believing what he had just said.
"I am not joking Mr. Queen...these are their souls. And it is your mission to choose the people who you are going to entrust this with and from then on you will watch them grow, as to who they are. I am sorry but this is all I could do. Barry's soul even after his death inside the dream world, manifested into something new a pure new soul. When Oliver Queen died the soul inside reacted and they joined together. Ah, love is such a strong magic! So, what I did was...tore them apart for now and place them safely inside these bottles. The Dream Ball does not only create fake reality upon its Master's wishes, it can also manifest and trap a soul until it nurtures. You see this artifact reacts depending on the person who is currently possessing it, which is me. When Barry Allen died a month ago, I deeply wished for him to be alive again and be with Oliver Queen and I did the same upon your Father's passing. I want their happiness, I know you do too. So, please….here have them William. This is all I could do for them..." Music Meister knelt in front of William and he gave him the two soul bottles. When William accepted them, he cried and he could feel how warm they are.
"I don't know what to say about this...but thank you Music Meister. This means so much to me. To be honest I miss them already" the magician helped William to stand up and tapped his shoulder as his form of comfort.
"They deserve their happy ending and I want you to have this...keep it somewhere safe.." he gave the Artifact to William and in mere seconds he vanished into thin air singing the same christmas song again.
William summoned the whole Team Flash and Team Arrow for a very important meeting.
"I deeply apologize for calling everyone here out of the blue, I know it's been more than a month since we lost The Flash and less than a week since we lost our original Green Arrow. It is very hard for me and I know for everyone here too. The reason I called you here is because of this" he placed the two bottles in front of everyone to see and William continued.
"You see on the night of Christmas I received a very special gift. These two bottles, they are so beautiful aren't they?" when he looked at everyone and all he could see is their questioning looks.
"What are they Dad? Some sort of Magic? New Skills?" it was Robert who questioned the importance of the two bottles in front of them.
"No, Son they are new life. These are Barry Allen and Oliver Queen's Soul" he heard everyone gasped of what they have heard.
"This can't be real" Francis was the first who reacted after William's revelation.
"But they are real" he laughed at everyone's dumbfounded faces.
"I gathered you here, because I will be choosing some of you whom I will entrust this two pure souls. And I hope you will take care of them properly. I know you will" he took a deep breath. I can do this, for both of you.
"Robert, step forward" the young Green Archer moved forward upon his Father's request.
"I will entrust to you the soul of your late Grandfather Oliver Queen. Will you accept it?" two solid blue eyes met with ardor.
"I will accept this responsibility Dad. I will love and nurture him with all my heart" William gave the bottle with the Blue Orb inside and he hugged Robert tightly, thanking him for accepting his destiny.
"Katrina Snow Albert, move forward" the young Doctor was shocked to hear that she was chosen by William. She complied and moved forward.
"I will entrust to you the soul of the late Barry Allen. Will you accept it?" light brown eyes met with solid Blue with a warm smile.
"I am very grateful that you have chosen me to take care of our Central City's hero, I am very honored Uncle William. I will love him with all my heart" William hugged the young Doctor tightly thanking her for all her efforts in monitoring Barry's condition after her Mother's passing.
William thanked both Team Flash and Team Arrow for their deep understanding. But he has also one wish that everyone must comply. To never mention Barry Allen as The Flash and Oliver Queen as The Green Arrow, when the children grows up and starts asking questions to which everyone agreed.
After an eventful day, William went to the Secret Chamber. It is very well kept, and on the other side is where The Flash and Green Arrow suit with it's respective weapon is safely stored.
"Gideon…" upon summoning the AI, a full body hologram appeared in front of him.
"Hello Young Master. How may I help you? All security system are stable"
"Thank you for your report. From now on, I am the only authorized person to request for The Flash and original Green Arrow's real identity from your database. If anyone will ask as to who they are in the future, deny it and show that no records were found. Are we clear?" he looked at the AI waiting for her answer.
"As you wish Young Master" and the AI receded from William's view.
Katrina and the Queen siblings went to a nearby park after a very shocking revelation.
"Wow! The two of you will take care of them. Nice! Don't worry I will help out" Samantha smiled sheepishly at the two.
"Yeah, I am still surprised by it. But I am deeply honored. I know he will grow up like his old life as a genius and a kindhearted person. Although being the Flash, I don't know yet if he will still have his powers" the young Doctor pouted her lips.
"Who knows? Barry's powers might manifest at an earlier age. Just be ready for a messy house and broken glass and plates" Robert teased the young Doctor.
"Ah, the solution is simple. I will just freeze him to behave" the three of them laughed so hard at Katrina's way of disciplining the kid in the future.
"I will make my kid to be good too. And not to become a billionaire-playboy. Sorry Grandpa Ollie, but I am aware of your records" he received a strong punch on his side from his sister, and the three of them laughed again.
They were wonderstruck at the scene before them, the sunset and moonrise complimented each other.
Katrina held the bottle with Barry Allen's soul in it. And she aligned it on the setting sun.
"Walk a straight path. May you be second to none in radiance. May you be the sun in everyone's lives and to Oliver" and she kissed and hugged the small vial pouring all her love to it.
"Wow, that sounds good Kate" Robert and Samantha gave the young Doctor a warm smile. And she returned it enthusiastically.
Robert held the bottle with Oliver Queen's soul delicately. On the other side of the sky the moon has already risen. He did the same action as Katrina, while Samantha looked at the precious orb lovingly admiring it's color.
"May you be the kind light that dispels the darkness and illuminates the path. The one who seeks the sun. In order to become the moon that is protecting Barry Allen's beautiful radiance" he kissed the vial and he put in on his beating heart, Robert could feel the warmth radiating from it.
15 years later
"Dad, Team Flash will be here soon!" Samantha shouted from the staircase.
Team Arrow has already gathered at the living room, and everyone is wearing their party hats. Because today, they are celebrating William's 75th Birthday.
"Young man. Will you stop pouting like an idiot and put your party hat?" Robert approached his son as he is trying to fix his hat and clothing.
"Dad, I look extremely stupid and I look like an Ice Cream. So, I won't put this thing. I am sure Grandpa William will understand. Right Gramps?" the teenager grinned towards his Grandfather.
"Of course Oliver. Robert stop forcing your kid on the party hat. It is fine by me" he smiled warmly at them.
"Grandpa you are so fucking cool!" and they made their High-five.
"Oliver Queen! Language young man!" Robert could feel that his headache is building up, he and his wife are having a bit of a hard time in disciplining the young Oliver. The kid is a complete package rebel.
Oliver just ignored his Father's protest and he sat beside his Grandfather asking a lot of questions about Team Flash. He grows up hearing a lot of tales about superheroes from his Grandfather.
30 minutes later, Team Flash has arrived together with their family and children. They were introduced to each other. It was then William noticed that someone is missing.
"Where is Katrina?" he asked Thomas, Katrina's husband. Fate must have brought them together because Thomas is a descendant of the Allens.
"Ummm...Uncle William. She is still outside you see our kid is a bit of an introvert, he is so shy in front of people. Oh how I wish he could gain a new friend on your Birthday party" William smiled warmly, but he sympathized with Thomas.
"Hello everyone! How are you guys? Happy Birthday Uncle William!" Katrina smiled warmly at everyone in the room and she directed her eyes to Robert and to Oliver.
"Barry, give your Grandpa William a kiss. Please? Go on" the boy with a pretty hazel-green eyes just nodded and he removed himself from his Mother's hold.
Everyone in the room stood quiet. As Barry approached the Older Queen. Oliver followed the younger boy's movements with curiosity.
"Hello Grandpa William. Happy Birthday! Here is my gift to you. I love you. I hope you will like it" Barry gave his handmade birthday card to William shyly and gave the Older man a kiss on the cheeks.
William smiled warmly at the present, he is controlling his emotions to cry in front of everyone right now. He felt so complete. With Team Flash and Team Arrow….especially Barry and Oliver. He hugged young Barry so tightly in his arms, and he could feel his presence in the smaller boys body "Thank you Bear. I love it!".
"Hey! Is that a superhero Fact book that you are holding?" Oliver interrupted the scene.
Robert can't help but facepalmed again on his son's aggressiveness and sometimes rudeness. He needs to discipline his kid more. But he is waiting for an interaction between Oliver and Barry. Not just him but everyone does.
Barry just nodded at the younger Queen's question.
"Oh cool! My name is Oliver Queen, by the way! Named after my famous Great-Grandfather Oliver Jonas Queen. I am 14 years old and I like sports and being lazy all day!" everyone in the room laughed as the teenager introduced himself with confidence and humour.
"Umm...My name is Barry Allen. 10 years old. I love reading books, science stuff, superheroes. I love to eat sweets..uummm nice to meet you..." Oliver reached for Barry's hand for a handshake, but when they touched for the first time an electricity suddenly surged between them. This shocked both children, which didn't escaped the observance from both teams. Because they know what it meant.
The party started and everyone enjoyed talking to each other, eating their meals and drinks. William just observing how the two interact with each other from afar.
An hour later Oliver approached Katrina "Hey Auntie Kate! You look beautiful as ever like a snow on top of Mount Fuji. Is it okay if I borrow Bear for a while? I will show him my Toys and gadgets in my bedroom. Is that okay? I will take care of him and be a good boy. Promise!" this startled the young Doctor and she laughed on how the teenager described her beauty and how he called her Son in his nickname, she smiled warmly upon seeing on how Oliver holds her Son's hand protectively.
"Mom, is it okay if we play on Ollie's room? You can pick me up there later" Barry smiled at her Mother warmly.
"Of course Baby, just don't break any toys okay? Be a good boy" she ruffled her son's hair and the boy simply nodded.
When the two boys has gone upstairs. William approached Katrina and Thomas and he gave them a warm hug "Thank you for taking care of him Kate and Tom. You did well".
"We still have a long way to go Uncle William. But I am sure Barry will grow up with the most selfless heart and brightest smiles" Kate replied.
"Yeah long way to go for my migraine. Please stop spoiling Oliver, Dad" Robert and his wife Clara joined in. And everyone laughed at his Statement.
After the party. It's time to go home, William decided to extract Barry from Oliver's room. When he knocked on the door and received no response. He slowly opened it and his knees almost weakened on the scene before him.
Barry and Oliver sleeping together. Oliver hugging the young boy protectively in his arms and Barry leaning on his warmth….
