"Oliver are you certain about this?" Felicity asked, hovering around Oliver nervously.
"Felicity I think I can manage taking care of two kids alone" He said, bouncing his son Mason on his back.
Mason let out a giggle causing them to smile.
His blonde hair was a bit to long for Felicity liking going over his eyes, but he refused to get it cut. He was wearing a Superman shirt with a plaid shirt on top with three quarter pants and a pair of sneakers that lit up at the bottom when he ran.
"I don't know I'm a bit nervous about leaving my niece alone with you, " Sara said from the doorway, standing next to Thea as the pair looked on amused.
"It's for a couple of hours I can handle it" He said glaring at them.
"Where's Laurel?" Felicity said grabbing her purse from the lounge room.
"Right here, sorry little Lexis wanted to dress herself this morning" Laurel said setting her three year old daughter down.
Her brown hair was down with a red headband and she was wearing a cute little white Minnie mouse top and jeans and a red sneaker on her left foot and green sneaker on her right foot.
"Do you like what I'm wearing Aunt Sara" the little girl said running up to Sara and hugging her leg.
"You look very pretty" Sara said, picking her up and placed her on her hip.
"Daddy, can we play wrestling and climb trees" four year old Mason Queen asked his father.
"Absolutely not!" Felicity spoke up as Oliver opened his mouth to speak, but seeing the look on her face decided against saying anything.
"Wise choice brother you were never gone win that conversation" Thea said and the other two nodded their heads.
"Aw mum come on Lexis want to play with my toys" Mason said, wriggling from his dads embrace and running to where Sara sat down her niece.
"Ok" she said and they ran off into the playroom.
"Ok was going Mason had breakfast an hour ago so he probably will want a snack in an hour. There's some fruit in the fridge already cut up. And he's been asking for cookies all morning that I have said that he can't have, so don't you dare go behind my back give it to him" She said.
Oliver puts his hand up in defense as the girls all laughed, knowing what a push over Oliver could be when it came to their son.
"Lexis has also eaten already so she can eat with Mason as well please make sure she doesn't play in the mud she seems to be in a phase of making all her clothes go brown and Oliver please make sure to keep my daughter alive for the next couple of houses" Laurel smiling at Oliver and patting his shoulder.
"You're ok with me keeping your city safe, but not your daughter? Really Laurel" Oliver said, shaking his head as she smirked at him.
"Oliver she literally is my whole world and you have never babysat your own son by yourself, forgive me for worrying" Laurel said unforgivingly.
"Yeah, and you're lucky that her husband is out of town and doesn't know about this" Thea said.
"Don't you girls have a spa appointment to go to" He said, pushing them toward the front door.
He gave Felicity a quick kiss and closed the front door after them.
"Finally thought they would never leave, " he mumbled leaning against the door.
He decided to go check on the kids and found them playing with masons superheroes figurines. It seemed Batman and wonder women were in a heated battle.
He went into his study and decided to go over some QC reports
It was some time later when he realized it was quiet too quiet. He looked at his watch noticing that he had been working for an hour.
"Mason! Alexis! Do you want to have a snack now?" He said, heading into the playroom noticing that the two weren't in there.
He went into the living room and looked out the window into the backyard still not seeing them.
He was starting to panic as he ran into the living room where he found them.
He couldn't help but chuckle at the sight in front of him.
There they were sitting on the floor, a knocked over chair beside them was his son and Laurel's daughter eating cookies and covered in flour.
The cookie jar was open sitting in between Masons leg, a cookie in each of his hands while Alexis had leaned into the jar to make it one in each of her little hands.
They had chocolate smeared on their faces and they had crumbs on their clothes and Oliver winced as he noticed on the floor.
" How did Flour get everywhere?" He asked making the two children jump and look up at him there blue eyes wide with surprise.
"Daddy!" Mason said, looking at his father then his hand, then back at his father and in his three year old mind decided his best option was to drop the cookies in hand on the floor.
"Mason your mother said you couldn't have cookies today didn't she and I'm pretty sure your mummy did too Alexis." Oliver said lowering himself to the level.
"She did Uncle Oliver I'm saying" Alexis said, getting up and walking over to hug Oliver.
Oliver hid his smile, realizing that Alexis was trying to use his soft spot for her against him.
She was a smart little girl using her cuteness to her advantage.
"Sorry's not going to make mummy happy Alexis how did you get flour on the floor or the cookies for that matter?" He asked.
"Well me and Alexis put the chair near there" Mason started pointing to the kitchen counter.
"And I held the chair and Alexis climbed up, but she couldn't reach the cookie jar and she hit the flour jar and it went everywhere" He said spreading his arms and his eyes went wide reminding Oliver of Felicity.
There was no way anyone could mistake that Mason wasn't Felicity son.
"And then I got the cookie jar and gave it to mason and then the chair felled" Alexis said and Mason nodded very enthusiastically his agreement.
"Oliver what happened?" a voice he really didn't want to hear him behind.
He put on his best smile and turned around.
Laurel and Felicity had shocked looks on their faces as they took in the damage to the room and their children. While Thea and Sara was behind them not bothering to hide their amusement.
"I swear I only left them for a couple of minutes and they snuck in here and got the cookies " Oliver started to explain to his wife.
"Na uh, Daddy you were gone for a long time" Mason said from behind his father's leg where he was trying to hide from his mother.
"Thanks for that song" Oliver said, shaking his head at his traitorous son.
"Ok, you mister are getting a nice bath and we will be talking about yours and daddies punishment" Felicity said, taking her son's hand and giving her husband a glare.
"Come on baby lets get you home and cleaned up, then aunt Sara can cook us some of her famous Mac and cheese. Then we can talk about what we are going to do about you being naughty" Laurel said, picking up her daughter and fixing her head band.
"I'm sorry, mommy" Alexis said, giving her mum, her best puppy eyes. Laurel shook her head with a smile on her face.
"Oh, I love this kid" Thea said laughing.
"That only works on daddy sweetie" Sara said running her fingers through the little girls hair.
" Ok, well I'll head out with you guys Roy's waiting for me" Thea said she turned to her brother.
"Good luck with your wife Ollie your going to need it"
They left laughing and Oliver could hear Laurel states about never letting him babysitting again.
He turned around and looked at the mess and sighed as he start to clean.
He never babysat again.
