Lian had found a charm in Cerdian's pocket when he died, along with a letter. In the letter, Cerdian explained that breaking the charm in her father's hospital room would help with him with his recovery, but he was a little fuzzy on the details.

Lian certainly wasn't going to turn down anything to help her dad. And she trusted Cerdian enough to know that it would work.

Lian stood in her father's room, one hand holding his, the other holding the charm that Cerdian gave her. She repeated the instructions that he gave her, hoping that it worked.

"Dad...if you can hear me, squeeze my hand. Just once."

	It took Roy a moment to absorb what Lian was saying. Roy was going to share a grandchild with Deathstroke, the man who had tried to kill him, Ollie and many of his friends and allies at least ten times each. Now, their families were going to be bound forever...in more ways than one. "Come here, Lian." Roy says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's going to be okay, honey. I'm going to take care of you. I promise." Roy says. "Dad is gonna make everything okay." he says, reaching out to hug her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian returned the hug. "You...aren't mad at me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm upset that you didn't trust me, but I understand why you did it. I tried to shield from a lot of the really bad things in life, Lian...and that included growing up." Roy says quietly.

"I knew this day was going to come sooner or later, and I thought I'd be ready for it, but I'm not. But this isn't about me.

You followed your heart and I will never be angry at you or disappointed in you for that." he says.

"Do you want to keep the baby?" he asks.

	"Believe me, I definitely wasn't planning on this," Lian said. "I do want to keep the baby," she said. "I know that being a parent isn't easy, but I'll try my hardest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No, it's not easy, but you're gonna do better than I did. We're all gonna help you. Ollie, me, Dinah, Mia, Connor...everyone. We've all got your back, Shrimp.

But no one more than your old man." Roy says, giving her the same smile he used to give after she'd scrape a knee or fall down.

"You and this kid are golden. But that means no more patrols or anything, Lian. You have to hang it up for awhile. Can you do that?" he asks.

	"I doubt that," Lian said. "You are the greatest Dad in the world." She nodded. "I know," she said, frowning. "Tim took all of my arrows and my bows. And my knives." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good idea. Besides, your tummy is going to make holding a bow difficult, sweetie." Roy laughs. "Did you find your mother, Lian?" Roy asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian sighed. "No. I didn't." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Put her out of your mind right now. You're a mother now and you need to think about your baby." he says. "Let me worry about your mother from now on." Roy says. "Okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled weakly at him. "Okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Roy smiles. "We're gonna be okay, Lianakin. We are." "Have you seen a doctor yet? If not, I want you to go make yourself an appointment and then come back and tell me when it is so I can go with you." Roy says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I haven't, but I have an appointment for this Thursday," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian kissed his cheek. "I'm going to let you rest some," she said. "I'll come back tomorrow. I love you, Dad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I love you, too, Shrimp. You're gonna be okay. I promise." Roy says. (Reply to this)(Parent)
