Arrow's son is only in the crossover episodes with The Flash so far. Not a good choice for a so heavily teased Death.

Felicitys Mom, a unborn Baby or a Charakter that first has to return or must be introduced in the show is also a realy bad choice!

A Death so dramaticaly implied to the viewers has to be the Death of a major charakter of the Show, so I fear that you have right with Diggle. The reason I think it could be Arrow's son is because there's no point of having a child in Arrow's story if he just appears in crossover episodes, which happen like only one or two times a season. I think they introduced this ne w special person in Arro w's life as a plot device to devastate Arro w in the greatest  way possible. I mean, look at last episode - Damien Darhk clearly cares DEEPLY for his FAMILY, So ho w terrible  would it be to see Damien Darhk take Arro w's child from him just as he is trying to be a father for his son and thus bonded to him, especially since Arro w saved his family? At first, I didn't think they  would kill a child, but then after watching Savage's intro in Legends of Tomorro w, I say they may definitely go that far to sho w Damien Darhk kill Arro w's son.

The only thing is, I'm not sure if Felicity  would be that terribly upset about it since she doesn't kno w that Arro w has a son with another woman, and if she does find out, she'd probably need some time to cool do wn, but  we still have enough episodes to establish strong relationships bet ween Arro w and his son, Felicity be forgiving about it, etc.

The son hypothesis I find  would be the biggest plot twist but Diggle is the safest bet. Him, Oliver and Felicity  were the original team Arro w. It just makes sense for Oliver and Felicity to be so devastated. I agree on that.
