Oliver was doing the salmon ladder in the bunker when he heard someone enter.
"Hey Oliver." Roy said as he and Thea entered the bunker.
"Hey, where've you been, I've been calling you all night." Oliver said.
"Yeah, sorry about that, but there's something both Thea and I need to tell you." Roy said.
"Let me guess, you're pregnant?" Oliver asked.
"How did you know?" Thea asked.
"I was just kidding, but you're actually pregnant." Oliver asked her.
"Yeah, I am." Thea said and as expected, Oliver punched Roy in the face.
"You son of a bitch." Oliver said as Laurel entered the bunker.
"I take it you finally told him?" Laurel asked.
"Wait, you knew?" Oliver asked.
"Yes, I'm the one who made Thea see a doctor and confirmed it and you of all people don't have the right to get mad at me over keeping secrets." Laurel reminded him.
"Besides, I made her swear to secrecy. I wanted to tell Roy first and I waited until after you took down Church, since you needed all the help you could get with him and I knew that if Roy knew he was going to be a father, he wouldn't be focused and you wouldn't let him out into the field." Thea said.
"You're right, I don't want him in the field because a dead man is no good to anyone." Oliver said.
"Ollie, do I have to remind you about William?" Thea asked and Oliver flinched at the reminder.
"Who's William?" Roy asked.
"Oliver's son from an affair he had about 10 years ago." Thea said.
"And I'm assuming that Laurel knows about that." Roy said, looking at Oliver's girlfriend.
"I know all about that." Laurel said, looking at Oliver.
"So I don't think that you of all people have the right to attack Roy, especially since he actually wants to be there for his kid." Thea said, regretting the words as soon as she said them.
Rather than responding, Oliver just walked away.
"That was uncalled for Thea." Laurel said.
"I know, it just slipped out. I know that Oliver wanted to be there for his son, but can't." Thea said.
"Thea, you struck a nerve and now you have to clean up the damage." Laurel said.
"I know and I'll see if I can." Thea said as she walked after her brother.
"Ollie." Thea said as she approached her brother.
"You crossed a line Thea." Oliver told her.
"I know, I was just fed with you and it slipped out." Thea said.
"Thea, I am happy for you, I really am, but you have to understand, no matter what happens, I will always be your big brother first and the fact that Roy got you pregnant doesn't exactly make him my favorite person right now." Oliver said and Thea smiled.
"I'm just glad it's you and not either of my dads." Thea said and Oliver chuckled.
"Dad would figuratively kill Roy and Merlyn would literally kill him." Oliver said.
"And I know that if you could, you'd spend more time with your son." Thea said.
"Yeah, but hey, the fact that I'm going to be an uncle will help make up for that and who knows, maybe Laurel and I will get there ourselves one day." Oliver said.
"I'm sure you will. And William's 18th birthday will be here before you know it." Thea said.
"Doesn't make it any easier." Oliver said.
"Well, you can spoil my kid as much as you want." Thea offered and Oliver chuckled.
"Gee thanks." Oliver said.
"So, we're good?" Thea asked.
"As long as you keep that promise, yeah." Oliver said with a smile as he wrapped his arm around Thea's shoulders and led them back to the others.
"Roy, we need to talk." Oliver said.
"Ok, what's going on." Roy asked, though he had an idea.
"I think you should consider hanging up your hood. Permanently." Oliver said.
"Wait, what?" Roy asked.
"Roy, you're going to be a father. I feel bad enough that you had to leave Thea before because you were trying to solve my problem and I'll be damned if I cause your kid to have to grow up without his or her father because I couldn't protect you. I'm sorry, but your days in a hood are over." Oliver said.
"Look, Oliver, I appreciate that, but with Prometheus out there, you need as much help as you can get. Besides, the baby isn't here yet. Once Thea's given birth, then I'll consider retiring, but until then, I'm staying on. End of discussion." Roy said firmly.
Oliver looked at him for a few minutes before chuckling.
"What's so funny?" Roy asked.
"You just remind me so much of me and that's exactly what I would've said." Oliver said.
"So, I'm not done here yet?" Roy asked.
"Yeah, Arsenal's glory days aren't done yet, but once the baby is born, I want you to at least consider retiring." Oliver said.
"Yeah, of course. But I could use your help with something else." Roy said.
"What?" Oliver asked.
"I need your blessing." Roy said.
"Roy, you want to marry Thea?" Oliver asked.
"She's the love of my life and she's the mother of my child. I want to spend the rest of my life with her as my wife." Roy said and Oliver smiled.
"Good answer. Of course I'll give you my blessing, if anything, there's no other guy I'd rather have become Thea's husband." Oliver said and Roy smiled at him gratefully.
