Chapter 1:
"Who is Roni?" a tall blonde man asked. The woman standing by the bar turned around and smiled at him.
"I am Roni, what can I do for you?" she asked smiling, this guy was definitely her type.
"I think I have something that belongs to you" the man said. His blue eyes shone with something she couldn't quite point.
"And what is that?" Roni asked smiling "I didn't catched your name"
"My name is Robin and this child says she's your daughter" Robin said and she finally could see a little girl standing behind him, brunette with sparkling blue eyes.
"I think she's just mistaken because I don't have a child" Roni said roughly
"Mommy why don't you remember me?" the little girl asked "Daddy doesn't either"
"Honey, I'm sorry but you must be mistaken" she answered kneeling down to be eye level with the girl "How old are you sweetie?"
"I'm six" the little girl answered and a few tears fell down her face "Mommy I'm sorry I stole those cookies, can you please remember me?"
Roni's heart broke at the sight, hugging the girl to her chest she looked up to Robin.
"Maybe we should call child services, they will know what to do" He said but there was something inside of him that made that idea unbearable.
"Please don't send me away" the little girl said as more tears fell.
"Okay honey, I need you to tell me your name and what is the last thing you remember" Roni said getting up and picking the little girl sitting her on one of the high chairs.
"You said I was grounded with no dessert because I stole the cookies and then you and daddy came to say goodnight" the little girl said "My name is Arrow, because that's what daddy shoots"
"Okay honey, your name is Arrow. Why don't you go to play for a little bit while I talk with Robin?" Roni said putting Arrow down, when the little girl was out she turned to Robin "She thinks you and I are her parents, I'm calling child services, okay?"
"Yeah, that's fine" he answered "I'm sorry, when she said that her mommy was missing and that other girl said that she was yours I brought her here"
"Wait, what other girl?" The older brunette asked and before he could answer they could hear Arrow scream
"Lucy!" the little girl hugged the other "My mommy wants to send me away"
"Roni, you can't" Lucy said looking at Roni with pleading eyes "She's just a little girl and needs you"
"Lucy, I'm not her mother" Roni insisted "And Robin certainly is not the father either"
"But give it a chance, who knows where she would end up, she's six" Lucy insisted
"Just for tonight, Robin called child services, they're coming tomorrow"
"No! Daddy please don't send me away!" Arrow ran to Robin's side hugging his legs "Daddy I'm your princess, daddy please!" she said crying
"Look, I know you must be confused but I'm not your daddy, maybe the lady that will come tomorrow can help you" he said picking her up, she wrapped her arms around his neck "Arrow, I have to go"
"I'm alone" Arrow said "Mr Jack didn't came with me"
"Who's Mr Jack?" Robin asked trying to get her to let him go
"My horsie" she answered.
Roni and Lucy watched that scene like they weren't there, this was a young child that was confused and maybe letting child services to take her was wrong.
"Robin?" Roni finally spoke "Why don't you come upstairs with her?"
"I have things to do" He answered trying to detach himself from the firm grip of the little girl that kept crying
"Please, she can't keep crying like that, it will only make her sick" Roni pleaded
"Fine, until she falls asleep" he said and rubbed Arrow's back trying to calm her.
"Lucy, you have to go home before it gets dark outside" Roni said to the otger young girl.
"Roni but Arrow-"
"Child services is going to take her tomorrow to a foster home or something" the older brunette answered.
Looking defeated Lucy left, thinking on ways to help Arrow. She couldn't be parted from her parents, not again.
On Roni's apartment Robin sar on the couch with Arrow still in his arms. She had stopped crying and was starting to fall asleep.
"When I woke up this morning I thought my biggest problem was going to be a drunk man not a child saying I'm her mother" Roni said sitting next to Robin.
"Yes well, I thought that dealing with my girlfriend and her crazy demeanour was going to be my only problem" he said looking down at the child that now slept on his arms.
"You have a girlfriend?" Roni asked and of course he has one, he is sexy as hell, the blue eyes could enchant anyone.
"Yes, she well, her name is Kate" he answered "Althought tonight was going to be the night"
"You were going to propose?" she asked shocked.
"No" he laughed, oh how she loved his laughed already "I think that she deserves a man that can make her happy and I'm not him"
"Oh" she simply said.
"I think I should go, where can I leave her?" he asked and they both looked at Arrow, asleep, her features were relaxed, her little angelical face looked even more beautiful "She's a little angel"
"She is, it breaks my heart that tomorrow she's going to cry like today or worse" Roni said getting up "You can lay her on my bed, she will rest better there"
He got up without waking Arrow and followed Roni, once in her room he lay the little girl on the king size bed.
"Mommy" the little girl sighed still fast asleep.
"Goodnight Arrow" Robin said covering her with the blankets.
Roni went with him to the door
"Goodbye Roni, maybe another day you could invite me a drink" he said and finally smiled, a smile that revealed a perfect pair of dimples that made her weak on the knees.
"Maybe" she said smiling back "Goodbye Robin"
Once he left she sat down on the couch, looking at her bedroom door she sighed
"I have a six year old asleep on my bed, great"
Getting up she turned the lights off and went to her room. Changing to her pajamas, a Rolling Stones shirt and a pair of shorts, she lay down next to the little girl.
"What am I going to do with you?" she whispered and closed her eyes. Feeling a little arm wrapping around her she passed her arm under the little girl's neck to wrap her in an embrance.
"Night night mommy" Arrow said.
"Night Arrow" Roni said kissing the little one's forehead.
