The date was circled and the bag was packed. Extra clothes, blankets and towels. The look on each of their faces, anxiety, fear, but all above happiness was very apparent.
The drive was quiet. There wasn't much to say. It was a new chapter in their lives and new chapters are always scary. No matter what happened their lives would be changed forever. They couldn't go back. They wouldn't go back. This is their dream and for better or worse they will not run from it.
They parked the car not far from the door. With one last look and a soft kiss on the cheek they headed inside hand in hand. He kept his hand locked in hers as if when he let go she would disappear from his world forever.
They were greeted by smiling faces. Everyone had come for their special day. Family and friends alike were gathered. The room had been ready for an hour so they headed in. Changing into the provided gown they got ready for the next phase.
Before they were fully able to take it in the man who would bring their dreams to the world came in. He had on a smile that said "trust me" and they did. He helped them plan this and was ready to see it come full circle. There was no turning back, well truth be told there hadn't been for almost a year
Oliver listened as the doctor explained the C-Section. Felicity and himself had wanted to be able to control every aspect so the went for a C-Section. It wasn't a popular choice they knew but right for them. Oliver never took his eyes off Felicity and her swollen stomach. She looked so beautiful, like she always did.
After all the explanation and paper signing the others were ushered out of the room only Felicity, who had to be there and Oliver, now wearing a doctors scrubs and gloves were left with the doctor and the nurse.
Outside in the waiting room the others waited, less than patiently. Thea and Laurel paced in rhythm while John sat tapping his foot against the back of the chair he was standing by. After an hour, Oliver motioned for them to come in. "Everyone meet Pixel Moira Queen" Oliver said beaming. Walking in the group gasp could be heard. There lay Felicity, all covered up holding a tiny baby girl in her arms. After everyone cooed and awed over the baby and hugged and congratulated Oliver they all left the new parents to enjoy their time alone.
Felicity woke up a couple hours later and smiled as she watched Oliver hold Pixel close to him and sleep. She knew from that day on nothing would come between them. "Happy Father's Day my vigilante" Felicity said smiling as she went back to sleep.
