Author's Note: So who else is excited for tonight's episode? I want to thank you all for favoriting, commenting, and following this story, you have no idea how much it means especially since this is my first story. I read through it a couple times but I'm not the best at grammar and spelling so I'm trying my best. Thanks again!
Felicity didn't know what to think, she sat on her bathroom floor trying to think of what she is going to do. She knew the next step was to get a real pregnancy test at the doctors office but something told her she would get the same answer. Before she even knew what she was doing she was dialing the phone.
"Hello," Laurel's strong but kind voice came out of the receiver, "Felicity are you there?" After a moment Felicity realized that she hadn't said anything.
"Yeah I'm here," her voice coming out stronger than she felt.
"Is something the matter? Do you need me to meet you at the lair after work?" Laurel sure asked a lot of questions Felicity thought to herself. It probably didn't help that she was a lawyer and knew when something was wrong even, when Felicity didn't want to admit it.
"Yeah...um I mean no...I just need someone to talk to," Felicity didn't know when she had come to rely on Laurel so much. It started before Oliver left but since then it had become an even stronger bond. She liked to think of herself as a strong person but in this moment it didn't feel that way.
"Okay," Laurel's voice full of concern for her friend, "I'll see you there after work. I wanted to go on patrol anyways."
Felicity was already at Verdant by the time Laurel arrived. She had spent the day staring but never really watching TV in her apartment. Then she took a short trip to the hospital, getting the confirmation that she didn't really need from the doctors, about her pregnancy.
She was sitting at her computer when Laurel walked down the stairs. It felt good to be doing something like tracking bad guys to get her mind off the baby. She had heard Laurel's heels clicking and knew she was standing behind her, but she didn't turn around. Now that she was her how could she even express what she had been feeling, and how would she react to the baby being Oliver's. They hadn't been together for a long time but Oliver had been Laurel's first love. Laurel and her were close but the friendship was relatively new and she couldn't bare the thought of losing it, especially now.
It was finally Laurel who spoke first, "So are you ever going to tell me why you've been so weird all day? Diggle told me you didn't even go into work today. You hate missing work." Laurel didn't mention why Felicity hated missing work and for that she was grateful. She hadn't even realized that there were tears in her eyes until one fell on her keyboard. Laurel's small but strong body was hugging her in an instant which only made the tears fall faster. Felicity hated feeling this weak, all her life she had been the strong one and now that strength was gone.
"Hey," Laurel said her voice soothing, "whatever it is we'll get through it together, we always do." Felicity knew she was talking about when they came back without Oliver. It had been hard but they decided to continue fighting crime and carrying on his mission. It had made them all closer. Thea had started training with Laurel but they would never let her patrol the city with them because they knew it wasn't what Oliver would have wanted.
Felicity was finally able to stop her sobbing long enough to choke out the words she needed Laurel to know, "I'm pregnant."
She could see the shock run through Laurel's features before she hid it behind a mask of blank emotion. "Well I'm sure Ray will be a good father. I know you guys aren't together anymore but-"
Felicity cut her off before she could finish that though, "Laurel it's not Ray's baby it's Oliver's. I know this is probably not the best time to have a baby. Plus I can't even imagine being a single mother but I want this. I'm scared as hell but this baby is a little piece of the man I love. He may not be here but I like to think that he would be happy if he knew. I'm trying to be happy but I don't even know how I should feel. I'm also scared that you'll hate me because of this baby and I know I'm rambling but I really need you right now." Her words had tumbled out so quickly that she wasn't sure Laurel understood her.
Laurel looked at her like she was crazy for a second before responding she responded by laughing a little. "Well glad someone finds my life funny," she grumbled.
"Felicity I could never hate you. I used to love Ollie but that was a long time ago. You deserve to be happy. I know it's scary but I see how much you care about him and this baby will be no different. I know you'll make an amazing mother and I'll help in any way I can." Felicity was full of so much love and gratitude for her friend that she hadn't realized she started to cry again. "Oh please stop crying."
"I can't help it," Felicity said her voice full of emotion, "I'm so happy that you're my friend and I'm hormonal so I'll cry if I want." At that Laurel laughed again. "I can't believe I'm going to be a mom," she whispered mostly to herself. She thought the word sounded weird coming from Laurel but now saying it out loud made it even more surreal.
"YOU'RE GOING TO BE A WHAT!" Both women whipped around to see Thea Queen standing in the middle of the lair. She looked shock beyond belief and royally pissed off. "I mean I know you love my brother but having his baby is a differnt story. I can't believe I wasn't let in on the secret. I mean this baby is my flesh in blood as well you know." At those words she broke into a large smile and enveloped Felicity in a hug. Felicity was shocked that Thea had correctly guessed the father of her child and had been mad that she hadn't been told first. "Plus I didn't want to say anything but you looked like you had put on a few pounds since you came back from Nanda Parbat. I'm not stupid I know what you guys we're doing there." At Thea's comment Laurel and Thea laughed and Felicity turned bright red. Maybe this pregnancy wasn't going to be as scary as she thought. She had good friends and her baby already had a great family.
Hope you guys liked this chapter :) a little bit of Laurel and Felicity fluff. Don't worry we're going to find out how Oliver is doing pretty soon. He won't be gone for to much longer!
