Chapter 2 - Finding Out What He Knew

Felicity was the most beautiful girl Oliver had ever seen, even more beautiful that Laurel, Sara and Helena. She was so beautiful. Oliver watched contentedly as her chest with each breath she took. For him watching her in the morning as she slept was his drug, it would never get old, and he would never stop. When they first started dating Oliver loved how during the day her hair would be perfect but when she woke up in the morning her hair would be a bird's nest. But not this morning, her golden strands of hair were laying neatly either side of her face, which was tilted towards him. She looked so peace full and the way the sun hit her body just drove him crazy. "You know staring is rude?" Felicity murmured, he hadn't known that she was awake and it shocked him a little.
"I know but I like watching you sleep." He leant forward and kissed her, his hand slowly exploring her body. His hand roaming over her breast, skimming its hardening nipple before moving down to the curve of her hips, all while never taking his lips of hers. She slowly pulled away and looked at him, "what was that for?" he asked slightly annoyed that she ruined the moment.

"You have a lot of explaining to do mister." She said in a sexy but serious voice, she grinned and threw a leg over his hip then straddled him, Oliver reached up to tuck some of her hair behind her ear. The contact was a pleasant reminder that she was wearing nothing but his t-shirt and what had happened last night after they got home,
"Now really?" she nodded biting her lip. "way to ruin the moment." She could tell that he was annoyed but she loved having to power for once.
"I ask you if you want kids and you tell me no because you don't think you would be a good father and you don't think that you could be responsible for a child. And last night you are playing with Milo like he is your son and offering to take him to go see a race and meet the drivers. What's happening Ollie?" she asked tucking another strand of hair behind her ear. Oliver sighed and sat up on his elbows.
"I think your pregnant." He said, Felicity slapped him across the cheek and then both of her hands rushed to her face shocked at what she had just done,
"Oh my god, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to it's just a big accusation." He rubbed his cheek and then nodded.

"its ok, I think I deserved that. I'm sorry, it just makes sense. You are constantly moody and you sleep loads and your boobs have got bigger. Trust me I notice the size of my girlfriends boobs." She was silent. She got off him and sat on the bed cross legged looking at him. He sat up fully and looked over to her. "I could be wrong but do you think you could just take a test to be sure?" she nodded and then headed over to the full length mirror at the end of the bed. She pulled the t-shirt she was wearing tight against her body and Oliver was right, her boobs had gotten bigger, 'how had I not noticed that?' she thought to herself. She might have been imagining this but she was sure there was a small bump, not so obvious but if you were looking for it you could tell there was one. "Felicity I didn't mean to freak you out" Oliver said breaking the silence that had been present for a few minutes. "I can't go and buy a test now if you want." He said while running his hands through his hair that he had let grow a bit over the years. She nodded not even taking her eyes off of her body. Oliver threw a pair of jeans and a t-shirt on top of the boxers he was already wearing and then grabbed it wallet and slipped it into his back pocket. He walked over to Felicity and stood in front of her and took her face in his hands. "I promise you that if you are pregnant that I will stick by you and it will be the best thing that could have ever happened to us." What he said caused her to smile and he pulled her face in and kissed him while one of his hands roamed down to her stomach. After they kissed Oliver slipped out of the apartment to go and buy a test.


Felicity emerged from the bathroom with the stick in her hands and a shocked look on her face.
"Oliver" she said through some sniffles. He got up from the sofa and came over and wrapped his arms round her and left her nestle her head into his chest. They stood like that for a few minutes and Oliver could feel his top wet with her tears. She slowly picked her up and carried her into their bedroom, he laid her down on the bed and just laid with her for the rest of the day.

Oliver slowly opened his eyes and found that she was in his bed with Felicity curled up in a ball next to him. It only took a few seconds to remember what happened. He wasn't angry, or sad but just shocked and scared. What kind of father figure could he be to any child? Yes he had hung up to hood for good after the Undertaking and he was never going to put it back on; if he couldn't save the glades from his own mother, how was he meant to save the rest of the city from people he barely knew. Felicity and Digg knew the main reason he hung up to hood was because of Tommy's death. He had always said that if anyone he loved got hurt then it wouldn't matter what names were left to be crossed off, it would be over. For good.

Oliver bent his head down and looked at Felicity, she had obviously cried herself to sleep and he couldn't blame her. She had just found out that she was pregnant and her boyfriend saw the signs before she did. As he kissed her temple he saw her eyes flutter open, for the first time he noticed that in their sleep both of their hands moved protectively to Felicity's stomach.
"Hey sweetheart." He said as he kissed her forehead. "How you feeling?" Felicity looked up at him and rubbed her eyes,
"I'm tired. Oliver I'm really sorry, I know you didn't want this." He could see her eyes welling up showing that she was going to cry again.
"Hey don't be. It takes two people and it might be a good thing." He could see her smile and it made him smile, "ill just get advice from people like Ben and your dad likes me…" he trailed off as Felicity gave him a look as soon as he said that her dad liked him. "Okay well your dad doesn't like me. But still, I will stand by you no matter what." He leant down and kissed her on the lips. "Felicity, this is our child and I wouldn't change that for the world." He noticed that she had started to cry, he wiped a tear off her face with his thumb,

"Darn hormones!" she said with a chuckle which made Oliver laugh. He pulled her closer and she rested her head on his chest. "Are you sure you want this?" Oliver gave her a look and nodded with a massive smile on his face. "Good; because even if you didn't want this I would be keeping it." Oliver laughed leaned down to kiss her again, he broke the kiss with a smile and looked into her eyes,
"I really want this and I am going to love this child no matter what." Felicity smiled at him and It was the same smile she gave him when he asked her out for the first time.

Flashback

'Ok Oliver you can do this. You survived 5 years on an island. You are a Queen. You were the Hood. You have been to hell and back.' He kept repeating in his head. He had stood outside Felicity Smokes door for 10 minutes and could not bring himself to lift up his hand, make a fist and then knock on the door. 'you can do this' he told himself for about the 100th time, so he lifted up his hand and knocked on the door, only for it to be opened by an middle aged man. he was sure he had the right apartment.
"I'm sorry I was looking for Felicity Smoke" he asked the man who was seconds later pushed aside by said blonde, who was wearing on her nightclothes.
"Oliver, hey come in." Felicity opened the door wider to allow olives muscular body to step into the apartment, "I see you met my dad." Oliver let out a sigh of relief, thinking that he was her boyfriend, he mustn't have been that older than Felicity, "dad this is Oliver Queen." Oliver held out his hand but Felicity's dad just ignored it and walked back into the kitchen. "so Ollie, what brings you here?" he gave her a look because she knew he didn't like the name Ollie and only let some people call him it, but he let it slide. Felicity wasn't just 'some people'

"I kinda wanted to talk to you. And I brought your favorite " He said holding up a brown bag, "Mr Chow's Chinese. I got the egg rolls." He said with a massive smile on his face, he couldn't help but giggle when Felicity let out a squeal and ran over and hugged him for a few seconds and then grabbed some forks from the kitchen. "I'm sorry Mr Smoke, I only got enough for two. I didn't expect Felicity to have company." Oliver said running his hand over his hair that he had decided he was going to let grow.
"That is fine Oliver, I was just leaving." He grabbed his jacket from the peg in the hallway and then hugged Felicity goodbye. She handed him a fork and then directed him towards the sofa, he sat down first and then Felicity sat down, thinking she sat a bit to close she moved slightly further away from him,
"It's fine I like having you close to me." She gave him a look of shock which turned into a smile, "I don't think your dad likes me very much…" Oliver said then stuffing an egg roll into his mouth.
"He's just heard the wrong things about you. When he gets to know you, I know for sure he will love you" she smiled and then tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. Oliver didn't know why but whenever she did that it made him go crazy.

"go on a date with me" he had been wanting to ask her for a while but he was never quite sure, but when Tommy died it made him realize that you have to make decisions and choices fast because you don't know how much time you have left. He had liked Felicity for a long time but had never had the guts to ask her out thinking she wouldn't want to go out with someone as screwed up as him.
"huh." Felicity managed to choke out after she had swallowed her lemon chicken.
"Go on a date with me." He said again. A smile spread across his face as he said it, and a smile spread across her face. She knew from then she was going to save that smile for Oliver and Oliver only.

End of flashback

"Let's get you two some food shall we?" Oliver swung his legs over the side of the bed and stretched his body out, which was stiff from lying still for so long. "What do you two feel like having? It is dinner time if you think about it." He looked at his watch and was shocked to find that it was already 8 o'clock.
"We feel like burgers." Felicity rolled over and stood up looking at herself in the mirror. "didn't Verdant just get a new cook?" she asked Oliver who hummed a ''yes' as he walking into the bathroom comb his hair which looked like it hadn't been washed or combed in days, "why don't we go there? The club doesn't open till half 9 and we can test out his cooking skills and see Thea at the same time." Felicity was now sitting on the end of the bed putting her shoes on.
"That sounds like a great idea. Let me get my wallet"


Pulling up outside Verdant reminded her how she used to spend her nights before the glades went down. She missed it sometimes but also though that now she gets to spend even more time with Oliver without having to worry whether he is going to come back from a mission or not. She had obviously been sitting thinking for a long time as the next thing she knew Oliver was holding out his hand for her to get out of the car.
"You ok?" he asked her as they walked through the front door to the club.
"Yeah, I was just thinking of how out life used to be." Oliver smiled and wrapped his arms round her back pulling her closer to him.
"Think of what they are going to be like now. Full of nappies and crying." He said with a chuckle, they were just about to kiss when Thea come over from behind the bar,
"Felicity come here!" she screamed as she ran over and hugged her brother's girlfriend. "what are you two doing here?"
"Well speedy we thought we would come and rate the new cook that you chose." Oliver said grabbing felicity hands and intertwining his fingers with hers.
"Great! Come on over I'll get Roy to pour us some drinks and I'll tell the cook to put on 4 burgers." Felicity and Oliver shared a worried look when Thea mentioned drinks, knowing that declining a drink was not like felicity at all.

They sat down at the bar and Roy came over and shook Oliver's hand. They started a small conversation and a few minutes later Thea joined them again.
"Right drinks. How is a beer for everyone?" Oliver nodded and so did Thea, felicity however shook her head,
"I'm good thanks." She started to fiddle with her fingers which Oliver knew meant she felt slightly nervous.
"Come of Lis! It's a Saturday! You don't have to work tomorrow. Have a beer!"
"No thanks Thea. I'm good with just a water"
"Come on. You're not pregnant are you?" felicity and Oliver shared a look, and Thea caught onto it. "Holy shit! You're pregnant!" she screamed and felicity and Oliver could both not help but smile.

Thea ran round the other side of the bar and hugged both felicity and Oliver, "I get to be an aunt! I thought Ollie would never find anyone to put up with another one of him!" Oliver pretended to act hurt, but really he was just happy that Thea was ok with it. For once in her life she wasn't going to be the baby of the family. "I'm so excited for you two!"
"We're excited. But we only just found out so please to tell anyone Thea. Oliver and I are trusting you and Roy." Oliver smiled at Felicity and gave her a nod. A nod that told her that they could trust them. "Okay, as exciting as this may be. I am starving! How long does it take to cook some burgers?" felicity said raising her voice at the end of the sentence, causing everyone to laugh. Oliver lent down and kissed felicity and then whispered in her ear,

"I love you so much"
