   Aiden had never wanted to end things with Oliver. Truth be told, he was the love of her life. He meant everything to her. They had been expecting a baby together and even talked about getting married. His dark side wasn’t always an issue to start with. The only part of Oliver that mattered was when he came home to her. But after one close call with his enemy happened, her world was flipped. She knew if she told Oliver her concerns, he’d find a way to make it work. To get her to stay. So she did what she thought was right. She left in secret one night.    Five years later, her love for Oliver was still strong. She never dated after that. She only focused on raising their beautiful son. She found a job working as a waitress at a high end restaurant. She was given her last table for the night when she noticed it was Oliver. Her heart stopped and for a moment she felt she couldn’t breathe. She cleared her throat and approached the table.     “Good evening, lady and gentleman. What can I get you tonight?”

Melinda wasn’t sure to make of the guy, he seemed to be in shut down mode.   It wasn’t like she hadn’t seen it before.    Being a Witch and Whitelighter, on top of being a Doctor, she recognized the signs.    She had made sure to not be too fast, so she did what she did best, she talked.   “You look like you’ve been through the ringer.    Mind if I get your name?    I need something to call you.    While have pretty blue eyes, I don’t think it’s appropriate to call you that.”      She wasn’t certain she would get an answer but getting him to talk was usually best thing that worked.    A full shut down was the last thing she wanted.    She also needed to know what else was hurting.

“Yet is a very important word Felicity! What are you even trying to do? And don’t say nothing because it already looks like your ten seconds away from blowing this whole place up and I rather like keeping you alive” 

“Oh my--- frack it’s so cute” Felicity practically teared up at the sight of the cutest little kitten she had ever seen. Her eyes lighting up as she looked up at Oliver, “Please tell me we are keeping it. You can’t hand me a kitten and then take it away you just can’t!”

“Okay. Well, the answer’s in here. Do we want to know?” Alex held up the small envelope. It only had one thing inside: a piece of paper that would tell them whether their baby was a girl or a boy. “’Cause we’re going to have to hide this from the others if we don’t want to know now.”

He was pulled up from the floor. a handcuffs and chains around his wrists, and he was pulled up, his arms above his head, and he was hanging. His toes barley touching the floor. He knew what he needed to do, to break out of this, but the energy wasn’t there, not yet. He was going to get out of this, even if it was the last thing he did. “I’m not giving up,” he mumbled.
