Chapter 1

Oliver smiled at his work, the kitchen was shining and the dinner he had made smelt amazing. He had made Oliver's favourite, spaghetti and meatballs and brought Felicity's favourite dessert - chocolate fudge cake. It was almost five and he knew his family would be home soon and he couldn't wait to see them. It had been a year since he had turned back up at the foundry, a year since he had gotten to know his family and he really did cherish them.

"No Momma!" He heard as the door opened and he frowned, Ollie was shouting. Something he had started to do more and more.

"Ollie, I know you want to go to the park but we are going to go after." Felicity sighed in return. Oliver sucked on his bottom lip, he wanted to go out into the hall and intervene as he heard Ollie's feet stamping on the floor but he knew Felicity would deal with him and he didn't want to over step.

"Harry be gone then." Ollie shouted back. "I wanna go now."

"Well tough mister. If you keep shouting at me you won't be going at all." Felicity said sternly and walked past the small boy who was now slamming his fists against the wall in a tantrum. Felicity kicked off her heels and headed to the kitchen gasping when she saw how beautiful Oliver had set the table. "Oliver…"

"I wanted this to be a surprise, it's been…"

"A year." Felicity finished with a smile, the fact that Felicity remembered it had been a year made his heart melt. She walked closer and Oliver wrapped his arms around her, kissing her softly on the lips.

"Where's Ollie?" Oliver asked as Felicity cuddled into his side.

"Hallway. He wanted to go to the park with Harry after nursery," Felicity sighed. Normally she would have taken him but she had had a stressful day at work and all she wanted was some cuddles on the sofa.

"If he apologises for shouting then if you want I can take him for an hour after dinner? Give you a chance to relax, you seem a little stressed." Oliver said softly.

"Just been a really rough couple of days at work." Felicity yawned.

"Well you will enjoy a nice dinner and then a bubble bath in peace." Oliver hummed as he kissed her hair. "Why don't you go and get changed whilst I talk to trouble."

"Sounds good to me." Felicity smiled, she leaned up and pressed her lips against Oliver's in another kiss before walking to the bedroom.

Taking a deep breath Oliver walked to the hallway where he saw his son was slumped on the floor, tears down his face. "Ollie." Oliver whispered and walked over to him.

"Go way." Ollie mumbled.

"Not going to happen mister." Oliver said as he sat beside him. "Want to tell me why you're grumpy?"

"Wanted to go to the park." Ollie whispered looking down. "Momma said no."

"Do you know why Momma said no?"

"She mean." Ollie grumbled looking up at Oliver, he was shocked he had never seen his son look angry before. He didn't like this look on him at all.

"Mean huh? Did you know that Mommy had a really tough day at work, and she's very tired so she wouldn't have been able to chase you around, and it would have been boring for you." Oliver said gently. "And did you know she feels so bad for not taking you to the park, but you can't shout at her like that."

"Momma sad?" Ollie blinked, his eyes shining a little with tears.

"A little, but do you know what can make her smile?" Oliver asked and Ollie looked thoughtful for a few moments before he jumped up and ran down the hallway to the bedroom, pushing the door open and cuddling against Felicity's legs.

"Hey little man, calmed down?" Felicity asked picking him up.

"I sorry Momma." Ollie said and pressed lots of kisses against her face.

"That's okay sweetie. Daddy will take you to the park after dinner, he's made your favourite."

"S'getti?" Ollie squealed.

"Go and have a look." Felicity winked and Ollie jumped down and ran to the kitchen, shouting excitedly when he saw that it was his favourite. Oliver and Felicity walked in after him and Felicity quickly changed him so he wouldn't get the sauce all over his uniform and then sat him on his chair at the table beside her as Oliver served the food.

As they ate their dinner they spoke about their day, Ollie sharing excitedly that he painted a picture and they could see it tomorrow because he used so much paint it was very wet. "So, I heard back from the school I applied to." Oliver said as they finished their meal.

"And?" Felicity's eyes went wide with excitement. She knew how hard Oliver had been working, going to night classes to get his teaching qualification so he could become a PE teacher. At first he had looked into opening another club but that had been too time consuming and after volunteering at a sports day at Ollie's nursery he knew exactly that this was what he wanted to do.

"I got the job." Oliver beamed. "I start after summer."

"I'm so proud of you!" Felicity grinned excitedly and she rushed over so she could wrap her arms around him, hugging him so tightly.

"Daddy?" Ollie called reaching his arms up for him.

"Yes?" Oliver smiled picking him up.

"I'm proud too!" Ollie grinned and pressed a big kiss to his cheek. Oliver really didn't care about how much sauce he had over his face, he was so happy right now.

"Thank you. Both of you." Oliver smiled holding his family in his arms. "Right, now come on let's get your face wiped so we can go to the park and when you come back we will have chocolate cake."

"Chocolate cake?" Ollie grinned.

"Yes. Park first?"

"Okay." Ollie nodded. "Love you daddy. Love you Momma."

"Love you too baby." Oliver and Felicity chorused with smiles. Ollie ran off to wash his face and find his shoes and Oliver pulled Felicity close and kissed her lovingly. It wasn't long before Ollie was ready and saying goodbye to Felicity. Oliver waved goodbye to Felicity with a smile and set off to the park with his son, now he knew exactly what his future held he couldn't wait to start the next chapter of his life.
