Prompt: Start a story with "This is what she wants most in the world"

"This is what she wants most in the world."

The words are spoken softly, a hint of wonder mixed with quiet fear.

"How do you know?"

He sighs, "Look at her, John. I can see it in her eyes every time she has your daughter in her arms. She wants this. A life. A family."

"And you don't?"

"It isn't that. I don't know how to do it. I don't –"

"You do it with her, Oliver. You and Felicity, you're a team. You have been for a long time, long before Ras and this mess with the League. You make your life together and you love your kids with everything that you have."

"What if it's not enough?"

"It will be. Is this what you want? A life? A family? A piece of you and a piece of her? Because you can have it, man. It's right there. You just have to take it."

A long silence stretches between them.

"We found out last night. She's pregnant."

"And?"

"I'm scared, John. But I'm… I'm happy. She's happy."

"You've lived through hell, Oliver, but being a parent is the most challenging thing you'll ever face. But it is worth every moment and more. You'll be okay. She'll make sure of it."
