So, here is the final chapter. I'm sorry if it sucks, I really struggled with this chapter and I am going through some personal stuff right now that left me not feeling real inspired to write. Frankly, I'm surprised I even wrote this.

Anyway, thank you to everyone who has reviewed, followed, and favorited this story. I could not have done it without your support. I hope you enjoyed the ride.

It had been a few days since Oliver had awakened and things had changed. Oliver had pulled away from the rest of the team and Felicity had admitted that Oliver no longer came to bed with her and he was already up when she woke up. Felicity had even asked what they had seen in his mind but no one had answered her. Diggle had briefly been tempted until he saw the glares Laurel and Thea shot him. What they had seen was not Felicity's business. If Oliver wanted her to know, he would tell her.

Oliver's campaign office

Afternoon

Oliver was doing some paperwork when he heard the door to his office open. Oliver looked up to see Laurel standing in the doorway, a brown paper bag in her hand.

"Is everything all right?" Oliver asked as Laurel closed the door.

"You've been distant since…it happened." Laurel noted as she walked over.

"Well, it's not every day all my secrets are put on display for those closest to me to see." Oliver said dryly.

"So this about your dirty laundry being aired? Ollie, none of us care." Laurel said as he relaxed but not completely.

"I thought I could be that person…who doesn't keep secrets from those he loves. But it's who I am; it's what those five years turned me into. I can't change, even if I want to." Oliver admitted, finally coming out with what had been bothering him.

"Then don't, be who you are. If people," Laurel paused and they both knew who she was really talking about, "can't accept that, then they don't deserve you."

"Thank you," Oliver smiled slightly before frowning, "Laurel, about William-"

"I won't say anything, neither will John or Thea." Laurel assured him.

"I know. But…I'm sorry you had to find out that way. That wasn't how I wanted you to find out." Oliver told her.

"How did you want you want me to find out?" Laurel asked curiously.

"Well, I was gonna sit you down the moment Samantha agreed to let me tell the people in my life. You would've been first; you were the first person who deserved to know. I would've told you, as gently as possible, that I had cheated on you with Samantha. I would've told you that I have a son with her that I never knew about until recently. Then I would've told you that I was sorry. Sorry I betrayed you, sorry that I hurt you, but I wasn't sorry it happened. Because then I wouldn't have my son. He may not know I'm his father, but he is still the best thing to ever happen to me." Oliver told her gently.

"Okay." Laurel said not completely satisfied but understanding enough.

"What's in the bag?" Oliver suddenly and Laurel grinned.

"Big Belly Burger. You want some?" Laurel asked and Oliver laughed.

"Yeah." Oliver said.

Laurel sat down in the chair in front of his desk and put the bag down, getting out the food and Oliver, content for the first time since he had awakened, laughed as he and Laurel had lunch.
