A/N: Hello, anyone taking the time to read this. I'm delving into the world of Arrow after falling in love with the show, Stephen Amell (I mean, who doesn't) and Felicity. I've been working on this story for a little while and I know there are a ton of drabbles and whatnot all over this fan fiction site, but these are my moments. Moments that I would love to see happen, but then the show would have to go own for about 20 years. But I hope you like this. I've got other chapters written, but I also write a Harry Potter story so I'll have to pace them both out.

Also, as I say at the beginning of my HP story, I work as a journalist so I know media law. I am not making any money for writing this story therefore I do not need a disclaimer. I thank the CW and DC Comics for their wonderful character, but I still don't need a disclaimer.

I look forward to any thoughts you would like to share. Thanks for reading.

Chapter 1

It was 2 a.m. and Felicity woke with a start. Something told her she was alone and shel felt along the other side of the bed to find the sheets cold. The largeness of the room was never more noticeable than when she was alone, not that the house wasn't large in and of itself. Felicity laughed, 'It wasn't a house,' she thought, 'The Queen Mansion was the size of a village.'

Felicity pulled herself from the covers and unhooked her robe from the bathroom door. She made her way out of their room in search of the man who escaped their bed. However, Felicity didn't really have many places to check. If Oliver wasn't in the kitchen then he was most likely in the nursery.

The nursery door was open a crack and Felicity heard Oliver's deep voice vibrate and carry across the room. He had their daughter in his strong and massive arms, rocking the two of them. Felicity smiled at the contrast of the two most important people in her life.

Oliver, who cut an imposing figure to anyone, and saved the city at night as a masked, green vigilante, sat there holding a tiny, pink bundle of soft, plush and kissable skin. From the moment Lily was born, less than six months ago, she had her father wrapped around her chubby, little finger. Oliver was incredibly gentle with her, just as he was with Felicity, but the blonde IT expert could vividly remember how scared The Hood guy was to bring a child into the world.

Oliver was afraid on multiple fronts, but he was frightened that he would repeat his father's mistakes. Then on top of that concern, Oliver spent his nights fighting off the city's most violent crime lords so he was quite certain the odds he was going to screw up his future child's life were great. He never wanted to do that to any child, least of all his own.

But Felicity calmed his fears, as she did for him so often. She reminded Oliver that the reasons he was scared to become a father were the exact reasons why he would be a wonderful father and their child would be the luckiest. Felicity was certain that because Olive knew a great deal about his father's misgivings, that he would do his best to never replicate them. And Oliver risked his life every night saving his city clearly illustrating the depth Olive would go to to protect strangers that she was sure he would push even farther to protect his own flesh and blood. Then Felicity had tried to lighten the mood.

"Plus our child will have a genius for a Mother and an Uncle who would also move heaven and earth to give him or her anything they would want or dream of." Oliver readily agreed with his genius baby momma. But his concern also stemmed from the fear that someone would find out he was the Arrow and would attack his child. But again Felicity reassured him that she possessed the IT ability to protect their child while he possessed the physical ability to protect her.

But Oliver couldn't change the fact that Felicity was pregnant with his child. So he did his best to move on. He eventually felt a bit more confident as time passed through Felicity's pregnancy that they would be able to bring another life into this world. And even if Oliver did something idiotic, he was having a child with the smartest and sexiest woman in the world, so he couldn't screw it up too badly.

Felicity was brought back to the present as she listened to her husband's one-sided conversation with their daughter.

"Lily, sweetheart, I promise to be there for you no matter what happens. I will continually fight off the bad guys and protect you with all of my strength. I will love you and your mommy for as long as I breathe and even beyond." Lily cooed and him and waved her fist at him. He grabbed the little fist with his mouth and pretended to chew on it. She smiled at her daddy and he was completely enamored with her. "You are more beautiful than the sunrise and you remind me of your mother. But your aunt Thea will say all of your good looks came from her." Felicity silently laughed and held her hand over her mouth, not wanting to interrupt this beautiful father-daughter moment. "And I will never apologize for all of the boys I will have to chase off when you're finally old enough to date, which I might add won't be until you are 45." Oliver smiled smugly, proud of how he would handle that situation, but Lily didn't seem to happy about it. Oliver had to pause to ssshh and bounce Lily while she fussed.

"Now, no fussing just because I said you couldn't date. If you are ever hurt, I promise to drive plenty of arrows at whoever is responsible, but let's not tell your mother I said that." Felicity laughed again, 'Too late for that,' Felicity thought.

"Most of all, I promise to be there for you always. The Queens haven't always been the best at being dependable, but I will always be here to love you, protect you and support you. Next to your incredible mother, you are the most important woman in my life and you will always be treasured as such."

Felicity then had to wipe the tears from her eyes, knowing she had to finally speak up, "Olive Queen, if only the criminals of Starling City could hear how sweet and caring you are, they wouldn't be so scared of you." Felicity announced her presence and Oliver's head shot up. He could usually sense when Felicity was close, but it seemed their daughter had thrown him off.

Before Lily was born, Felicity had insisted they put a rocking love seat in instead of a single rocking chair for nights just like this. Oliver opened up his left arm, ushering Felicity to snuggle in.

He kissed her on the forehead, "How long have you been standing there?" Then Oliver leaned in to kiss her lips, their daughter between them.

"Long enough to know what age Lily is allowed to date," Felicity said sarcastically, laughing at her husband's protective nature. She was on the receiving end of that protective nature she directed her next comment at her daughter, "Sweetie, don't fault your father, but he is naturally insane with being overprotective. He can't help it. We will just have to stick together. Aunt Thea will help us too, but never ask Uncle Digg because he will just agree with your dad."

"Damn right," Oliver chimed in.

Felicity stroked his brow, "How did you end up out here?"

"Lily started fussing over the monitor and Raisa met me outside the room with a bottle so I fed her and then we started taking, or rather, I started talking to her." He was such a caring father and she was proud to co-parent with him.

"You could have woken me up. You must have just gotten back from the foundry. You need your sleep, too." She gave him a look daring him to argue with her.

Lily was falling back asleep, and Oliver leaned down now to press a kiss to his daughter's forehead. "Well, the perk of being CEO is to make your own schedule, so I figured I could go in late tomorrow or not at all. It is also helpful when you're CEO and you're married to your secretary who could be kind enough to rearrange his schedule so he doesn't have to go in tomorrow. Especially after I just spent a late night saving the city and then rocking your perfect daughter to sleep. And I didn't want to wake you. You looked like an angel," Felicity rolled her eyes, knowing he was laying the charm on a little too thick, "So, no arguments, Mrs. Queen." He then placed a passionate kiss on her lips as the slanted over hers. Felicity lingered there for a second, smiling into his lips. She knew exactly what he was doing, but she knew any further arguments would fall on deaf ears.

"Oh, alright, but just so you know, I don't like waking up to an empty bed," she scolded him and Oliver nodded at her pointed glare, "Go ahead and lay her down now that she's back to sleep, then come to bed. Since our daughter got her daddy time now I need time with my husband." Felicity got up, crossing to the crib.

"Goodnight, Lily, sweet dreams." Oliver placed her in the bed and both parents paused and took in the sight of their little girl. "Thank you for my beautiful family, Felicity."

Felicity was always pleasantly surprised when Oliver said sweet things like that. She knew just a couple of years ago that he believed he didn't deserve a family, let alone to be happy. Felicity did her best day in and day out to provide him with as many happy memories in an attempt to push out the horrid ones. She took her husband by the hand, leading him from the room, "You are certainly welcome. Thank you, too, for my family." Her megawatt smile faded for just a second, "But don't think I forgot what you said in there, Mister. That secretary comment is going to cost you."

Oliver grabbed hold of her, playfully carrying her to their room, pulling their bodies flush, "Oh, Mrs. Queen, I had planned on it." She scoffed at him and they were carried with passion.

Oliver didn't get much sleep the rest of the night and he was not mad about it, at all.

A/N: Thank you again for reading. If you would be so kind to leave any thoughts you had, I would enjoy that. I love these two and I love them together. This is also a little bit of therapy for the end of Heir to the Demon. I don't mind Sarah, but I truly believe Oliver isn't in it with Sarah for the long haul. I can't wait to see Felicity's reaction, because no one can deny Oliver's hidden/unknown feelings for Felicity which was ever so obvious after Barry came to town...saved his life...and then when Felicity left to be by his hospital bed. His jealousy was evident, just ask Diggle. Haha
