So this is my first Arrow fic, I fell head over heels for Olicity as soon as I saw Felicity. This idea has been bothering me for awhile, and it was making it so I couldn't even read... Comment if ya know what I mean=) I haven't written in awhile so I'm a little rusty... I just love this couple so much! I love Felicity! anyhooo before I get carried away...

Post season finale.. Who's excited for season two?!

I dont own... If I did, well... My story would be part of the show... duh!

Felicity runs the bath water, checking the temperature several times to make sure it's not too hot. She then looks high and low for bath toys, or anything that could be used as such. Finding key chains, plastic figurines, cups, bowels, and plastic serving utensils; she takes the girl by the hand and leads her into the bathroom. Once the toddler is in the bath and playing, she sits herself on the counter with her phone.

1 day earlier

Felicity drove through the glades; she was on her way home after "work". It had been a crazy last couple days, after the glades had been pretty much destroyed; thousands had died, been injured, and made homeless. All because of her stupid mistake, since then she'd spent almost every waking moment doing something to try to fix what happened, she'd been working so much that even Oliver noticed. Not that Oliver wouldn't notice, they were friends… well sort of… anyway, he had been extremely busy lately, also trying to help, whether he was Oliver Queen billionaire or The Hood vigilante, he was pulling a lot of hours, and he still took time to notice her current state. Oliver had told her to go home, though she protested a little, she hadn't slept in days and he could tell. She doubted she could sleep even if she tried, but she didn't have the energy to argue with him.

Felicity rolled to a stop at a stop sign, she looked around, the former 4 or 5 story buildings all sat at a 1 story level of crushed concrete. As she was about to go, something caught her eye, a child was standing the sidewalk near her car, the kid couldn't of been more than four or five, and it-she was crying. Felicity pulled over and got out of her car, she went over to the balling child. "Hey sweetie… Are you lost?" Felicity asked bending down to be at eye level, the toddler wiped her eyes on the sleeve of her dirt covered, blue footed sleeper, the little girl looked like she hadn't bathed in days, she was covered in dirt and her hair was matted and full of nasty knots.

Felicity stood up, looked up and down the street, she tried to think of what to do. Taking the child would be considered kidnapping, but leaving her would almost be as bad of a crime. Felicity looked down at the girl "Where's your home?" The child looked around vigorously, clearly frustrated the toddler huffed, "I don't know" she said almost crying. "Well maybe I can help…" Felicity said to herself more then to the kid "First, we need to get you cleaned up, or nobody will recognize you" the girl nodded in understanding and Felicity lead her to her car.

Felicity drove to the police station, and walked the little girl, Hope, in. She walked right up to the front desk; "Hello" she said to the woman behind the counter, the woman looked up "May I help you?" she said in a bittersweet tone. "Yes, found a child wandering down the street…" the woman sighed and grabbed some papers and handed them to Felicity, "Fill these out, you can take a seat over there" she said referencing to a waiting area. Felicity took the papers, walked over and took a seat, Hope following her faithfully.

After filling it all out, she gave the paper work back to the woman. "Alright, I'll send this in, and we'll get someone from child services over soon. You don't mind waiting do you?" the lady said in a manner that Felicity didn't really want to argue with, so she just went back to her spot.

It had been two hours, TWO HOURS! I mean one hour wasn't too bad, but two hours was just ridiculous. She had already talked to the front desk lady two or three times already, and she swears she has it in for her. Hope had fallen asleep in her lap, which was the only thing keeping her from going over to the evil woman again.

Finally a child services worker came, Felicity woke Hope up softly, "Hope, there's someone here to help you find your home" Hope looked up at her confused "You are gonna help me?" "Well, I started to, but these are the people who can really help. You just need to go with them" "Are you coming?" Hope said worried "No" Hope's face looked completely devastated "It will be okay" Felicity flashed a reassuring smile, and walked her over to the social workers.

Hope looked at them and attached herself to Felicity's legs, "Hope its okay" The social worker stretched out his hand to take Hope by the arm, and she buried herself farther into Felicity's legs. "Just one more second" Felicity said to the man, he nodded and stepped a few feet away, Felicity kneeled down so she was eye level with the toddler. "Hope, its okay, he's gonna help you" "No, I wanna stay with you" she wrapped her arms around Felicity's neck, Felicity felt her heart crack, even though it had only been a few hours she had already felt some attachment to the child in front of her, "But you need to find your home" Hope started crying. Felicity looked over to the social worker and he came over and picked Hope up, pulling her off of Felicity. As he walked away, Hope was screaming crying and fighting with the man, Felicity watched until they disappeared down the hall. She looked over at the woman behind the desk, "What do you think the chance is of her going back home?" "Is she from the glades?" Felicity nodded "Not very likely" on that note felicity walked out to her car.

Once the door to her apartment shut, Felicity felt her heart break, tears streamed down her face, and she slid to the floor. She curled herself into a ball, and sobbed into her knees. She did this, she's the reason that little girl doesn't have a home, it was her stupid mistake. Hope, and probably many more children, all orphans, because of her. She could still hear Hope's screaming running through her head, she listened to it as she cried herself to sleep, right there against her door.

Dream

Felicity lay exhausted in the hospital bed, a baby's cries were coming from somewhere, the nurse said "Congratulations, it's a girl! Would you like to hold her?" Then the parents, adoptive parents, of the baby came into the room. They took the baby in their arms; they held her and cooed at her-their baby, she wasn't hers. And she was never going to be, the nurse took the baby and the new parents followed. The woman, Susan, pausing just for a moment to ask her if she needed anything, Felicity said she was fine, just as Susan was rounding the corner "Wait!" "Yes?" "Would you… I know it's not my place to say… Would you consider naming her Hope?" Susan smiled at the young girl in the hospital bed, "Hope… It has a nice ring to it" and she disappeared around the corner. Felicity felt tears stream down her cheeks, tomorrow they would walk out with a new baby and her with nothing.

So next chapter will just continue from where this left of sorta..
