"So we decided on the colors for the wedding." Oliver announced as they began eating their dinner.

"Finally!" Thea huffed to which he glared at her. "I mean we only have a few weeks and I need to get the invitations out this week if we are sending them out."

"Well send the green and cream ones. We are going with the sunflowers with touches of emerald throughout. I figured the colors would look good together and since it will almost be fall it will work."

"Great. Now we can discuss dresses. I have a few ideas and so does your mom."

"Can we do that next week while she is here? Maybe even go shopping?"

"Sure sis."

"Dad and I went and got our suits today."

"Really? How did you know what color to choose?"

"Lis told us we could get suits not tuxes and they had to have green ties. So Dad found suits that looked good on both of us and I got to pick out the ties. They are dark green like Lis' ring and plain. I love them."

"The suits are tan and are simple so they will work with a small quiet wedding in the garden. See?" Oliver pulled out his phone and showed the photo that the attendant at the store snapped of him and Connor.

"Oh my gosh you boys look so handsome. They are perfect." Felicity gushed.

"I can't wait to see your dress Lis. You are going to be the prettiest bride ever. Dad also got his tux for the gala. It looks nice."

"Good. I forgot to call to get one done for you. I'm sorry. I have just been swamped recently. I seem to be losing my mind."

"Well that is why I am here. To help. So now that we have our room and the nursery done, that should be a few more things off your list. Just tell me what I can tackle next and I will glad to help."

"Well your sister has most of the wedding planning handled, right?" Felicity looked at Thea.

"Yeah. Just need you two to lock down a few decisions like the cake and food and flowers. Then we have the dresses and jewels. Since Oliver and Con got the suits, I am assuming you got one for Dig as well."

"Yep."

"So that is really it. Oh and I heard back from the mayor's office finally. They said that he would be pleased to help us out if you guys still want to go that way."

"Yeah I don't see having a rabbi do it since I almost never go to temple and Oliver would have to convert. Plus they like to do this sort of stuff indoors."

"Okay. Well I will work with Thea on all the smaller details and all. We will tackle the food, cake and flowers next week. Do we need anything else for tomorrow?"

"No I got all our clothes cleaned for the shoot tomorrow. I also went by the photographer's shop and checked on the props and location. He said he will be here tomorrow for set up at 10 am. Then I called the hair stylist and makeup artist. They will be here at the same time. Since it is really just me getting done up, it shouldn't take an hour for them to get it done. So I figured we could shoot in the gazebo real quick and a few shots in the yard on the grass and in the garden. Then we are done. They said once they are done we will have the photos in 48 hours so Max said he would come by tomorrow afternoon for the sit down. He already has the approval to hold the piece until Friday's paper. I hope that will keep the questions simple at the Gala next week."

"So what did you think about the room and nursery. I have been dying to know."

"I love them. Thank you for helping with that. I ended up crying over it and that made me crash for my nap today."

"Sweetheart you cried because of your hormones and the nap was because you were exhausted and over did it. I should have gone with you today." Oliver fretted.

"But then you wouldn't have been here for the surprise. I am fine Oliver. I am just having to learn to let things go a bit or have someone else handle it. Jerry has already told me that he would handle most of the smaller stuff with the contractors. He will only call me if something major comes up. So that is one more thing off my plate. The replacement I hired as my VP, Dennis, is doing great and Walter has everything else covered so I now have QI off my plate as well."

"Well good but if you need anything you just ask okay?"

"I need ice cream and pickles. These cravings are driving me crazy. I swear this baby has the worst taste in food. Last week I could not stop eating hotdogs with tomatoes on them. And I hate hotdogs."

"Hey you only have about 28 weeks left then he or she will be here." Oliver leaned down and kissed her knuckles.

"Yes and we will never sleep again. As if we do now. I just hope this is worth all this."

"It will be sweetheart. When you hold our daughter or son for the first time you will know it."

Connor had a question he had wanted to asked all day so he decided to finally ask it. "What will the baby's name be?"

Oliver and Felicity stared at each other. They had been playing with a couple ideas but hadn't decided anything yet. "We don't really know yet buddy. We are still trying to figure that out but we have plenty time for that." Oliver answered.

"Will it have Hawke or Queen as its last name?"

"Well Queen of course. I mean it will be a Queen since Felicity is taking that name in just over a month." Thea answered.

"So I'm not a Queen?"

Oliver knew what his son had been wondering instantly. "No buddy you are. But your mom gave you her last name and not mine. Felicity and I want to give the baby mine this time."

"Can I have your last name too?"

"If you want to. We can look into changing it. How about we change it to Hawke-Queen? That way you still have the name your mom gave you."

"She named me Connor. And Steven after her dad. I think she would be okay with me letting you name me Queen. Plus Hawke-Queen sounds funny." Connor giggled.

"Well if you really want it and are sure then I will look into for us."

"Yeah. Once I am a Queen, does that means Lis will be my new mom?" The table was silent at that question.

"Well I am marrying your dad and I am having this baby so that makes me a mom but I don't have to be your mom Connor. I want you to be apart of this family even if I am not your mom."

"You don't want me as your son?" Connor's eyes were so blue and sad that it broke Felicity's heart. She stood up and walked up to his chair. She knelt down next to him and pulled him into a hug, wrapping up around him as tight as she could. Tears fell freely from her eyes and she pulled back, cupping his cheeks and kissed his forehead tenderly.

"I want you to be my son, Connor. I already see you as mine, sweetie. And nothing will ever change that. I would be honored if you want me to be your new mom. But that is your choice and I will never try to replace you mom. She will always be your first mom. She is the reason we have you."

"Her and dad!"

"Yep sweetie. Her and your dad. And I am so glad you came into our life. This last few weeks have been so much fun. They have meant more than anyone ever could know. I love you so much sweetie."

"I love you too. So you will be my new mommy?"

"Of course sweetie."

"Do I have to wait until Dad marries you to call you mommy?"

"I think Felicity would love you to call her mom now buddy." Oliver smiled proudly as tears trickled down his cheeks. A quiet sob came from Thea who had been fighting back her tears at the seen.

"Okay." Connor looked at Felicity again and wiped her tears away. "I love you mommy. And I want to help too. What can I do?"

"How about you help me get my gala dress tomorrow? You know what looks pretty so it could just be us. Then we will stop for ice cream and maybe get your school supplies as well."

"But Dad said he wanted to go get my school stuff."

"Okay then just my gala dress and shoes. Then we will get ice cream."

"And pickles. You're right mommy. That sounds gross." Connor's face twisted in a grossed out expression and the table erupted in laughter. "There no more crying okay mommy?"

"Deal sweetie." Felicity gave him one more squeeze before standing up. "Excuse me. I am going to clean up a bit." With that she walked out the room, Oliver following close by.

She knew he was right behind her and as soon as she was in their new room and he had closed the door, she latched onto him and wrapped her arms around his neck. She felt him startle for a second the ease, his arms snaking around her waist and pulling her into him deeper. She softly sobbed into his chest for a few minutes, his hand slowly rubbing circles on her back to sooth her while she cried.

A few moments later, he noticed her sobs had eased and her breathing had evened out. "Sweetheart, are you okay?"

"Yes. Just can't believe this is my life. I have my dream man, the man I have always loved, hold me while I cry and make a mess on his shirt. I have a kid that practically begged me to by his new mom. A future sister-in-law who is planning out my engagement party, my wedding g, and helped remodel my home. A beautiful home that most people only dream of and a baby on the way that will be loved and protected completely by so many people from its first breath. How did I ever get so lucky and blessed?"

"You trusted a crazy guy who brought you a laptop full of bullet holes. You believed in him, questioned him and encouraged him to be a better man. You showed him what love could be and opened him up to what living really meant. You gave him a life he wanted to live for and never imagined for himself; one that is full of love and happiness and light everyday in everyway." Oliver kissed her and his thumb dragged across her cheek. "Simple as that sweetheart. I love you, Felicity Smoak, and always will."

"I love you too, Oliver Queen and I can't wait to marry you and start our lives together."

"We already have started it and I am looking to the next 50 years with you." Felicity curled up into his chest again as he cradled her and helped her to calm down again. He knew he hormones had her on edge all the time, that she had been crying a lot more recently. But he didn't mind because these quiet moments with her in his arms were quickly become his favorite parts of the days.
