Summary: Moira's reunion with her son isn't going how she thought it would!


It wasn't long before Moira and Thea Queen, Walter Steele, Raisa, Tommy Merlyn, and Laurel Lance showed up at the hospital's waiting room thanks to a call from Quentin himself. Dinah Lance was currently on the way there from Central City by way of train and things were already tense between the Lance sisters cause of what Sara had done with Oliver several years prior. Though there was some confusion as to why none of them were allowed to see Oliver and the Queen women were worried something was wrong with him. A smirk from Quentin and a chiding slap from Sara had further confused the two. Raucously drunken singing from a man in what looked to be a military uniform of some kind wasn't helping even though Quentin and Sara were highly amused by it.

Anatoly was trying to keep a good distance away from the man as he was currently too sober to deal with such things. Now he could have gotten drunk along with the man but he preferred to do such things in private. The man, known as Slade Wilson finally noticed that there was more people in the waiting room that Sara and her father seemed to know so with a smile, he drunkenly walked over to them with a bottle of Russian Vodka still in one hand that he had brung with him to the island. "Witch a you ish da Kid's motha?"

This drew confused looks from the recent new comers and Quentin was glad he had allowed the man to stick around since he wasn't causing too much of a ruckus despite his horrible singing about little tykes running around. "Kid? I'm sorry but I don't understand." Replied Moira Queen, who was wondering why Quentin hadn't arrested this man yet for public intoxication!

"He means Oleever." Called out Anatoly from where he sat.

"Oh." Moira responded as it all came clear for her while wondering how either of these two men knew her son unless they were the reason for how he managed to get home?

"I am Oliver's mother Mister…?"

"You are? Why dat's bonderful! Ishn't it bonderful?" Slade asked into the air thinking it was Sara, who was still next to her dad and laughing some at the sight.

Seeing that her friend wasn't in any shape to give a straight answer and that Anatoly wasn't looking to be very helpful either as he wanted to keep some distance away from the drunk lest he wind up that way himself, Sara took it upon herself to inform the woman of who he was. Drawing in a few surprised looks as none of them were expecting Ollie to have actually met a man with the last name of Wilson while he was believed dead! "Oh there's just so many jokes right now." Tommy muttered aloud and having trouble in trying to decide which one to use right now.

Laurel, while finding it somewhat amusing was having some not so pleasant thoughts involving her sister. "So did you sleep with this guy and the Russian too?" She asked acidly, making everyone gape at her in shock and Sara to wince at the tone.

Quentin was about to fire an angry retort when Anatoly himself beat him to it when he got up and headed right towards Laurel. "That is not proper talk for re-united sisters! Should be ashamed of self during happy moment such as this." The man had a crap load of respect for Sara and he wasn't about to let somebody else talk that way towards her.

Laurel scoffed at him. "You would say that since she's probably been sleeping with you." The words hurt Sara more than she cared to admit and Quentin was getting ready to have some strong words with his daughter but the Russian beat him to it again when he stepped up even closer to Laurel and got right into her face with a dark look on his own face.

"Scary Girl never slept to get respect. I warn you to be careful of what you say to whom, for it may not end well for you little girl." The threat was clearly implied and Laurel reared back in fear of the man who was suddenly looking a lot more dangerous then he was seconds ago.

A loud scream of pain from down the hallway interrupted anything that could be said and it sounded like it had come from a male. "What on Earth was that!?" Called out Moira who had a hand on her heart and wasn't sure if she should be thankful for the interruption to the tenseness that had been going on.

Quentin smirked at her and was about to say something when another loud voice came from down the hallway. "WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING!? I'M THE ONE GIVING BIRTH!"

That raised a few eyebrows as they would have figured something like that wouldn't be so close to the waiting room. "He's really gotta stop that." Quentin muttered to himself with a grin, causing the newcomers to look at him in confusion.

"What do you mean by that Quentin? Do you know who that is?" Moira asked when she would rather be finding out where her son is!

He looked right at her with that grin still on his face. "Oh yeah, let's just say a new Queen is coming into the world."

This caused Slade to launch into another drunken bout of singing about tykes running around and even Sara had to add in her voice to it, if only to get out from the funk her sister's words were starting to cause her. Moira, thoroughly perturbed by the cryptic words the Detective was throwing her way had a feeling begin to creep up in her and so she walked down the hall where the yelling had come from with the others who hadn't seen Oliver in years following behind. Even Quentin was coming with as he wanted to see how the lady would handle the news.

After looking into various windows of each door, the woman finally saw what she was after. However the sight before her concerned her greatly as it appeared her son was with a woman giving birth! Making her way inside slowly, she could see the pain her son was in from the tight squeeze his hand was in. "Oliver!" She called out and gaining surprised looks by those in the room with her son and the pregnant woman.

"Oh… Hey… Mom! I uhh.. Can't really… Talk right now." But God would he rather be hugging his mother then losing his hand to Shado!

A nurse came up to her. "Ma'am, we're going to have to ask you to leave as nobody else needs to be in here but us, the mother to be, and the father."

The woman who hadn't seen her son in five years was gently pushed out of the door and back into the hallway with the others after they had quickly moved out of the way. She stared at the closed doors for several seconds until Quentin broke the silence. "Congrats Moira, you're a grandma!"

She looked at him with a stunned look on her face before fainting dead away and luckily for her, Walter was able to keep her from falling to the hard floor. Thea stepped up to the Detective. "Are you being serious?" She had to ask as she didn't think the man would be that much of an ass to claim something like that.

"Yep, your brother in there is about to join the Father's club and God help him if its a girl." He told her while looking down at her and really hoping it actually is a girl as it would be sweet, sweet karma!

Laurel suddenly stormed off, not at all happy about what she'd just heard about her cheating bastard of an ex. "Uhh.. How long does this sort of thing last?" Tommy asked as he really wanted to go out and celebrate with his buddy on the man's return!

"Birth always take awhile, some longer than others." Anatoly spoke up from his spot against the wall.

"And we'll chase after da tyke on da bike cause dat's what uncles dew!" Sang out Slade and earning a few laughs in the process.
