Next two and a half weeks were blissfully happy for Oliver and Felicity. They worked together during their day and night jobs - Felicity stayed true to her word and made sure that Oliver was safe. When they came back to their place - as Oliver pointed out it wasn't just his place anymore - they made love before falling asleep in each other's arms. Then they ate breakfast together, most of the days made it to lunch together - if Oliver couldn't make it he made sure that Felicity would be accompanied by his mother or sister, sometimes both - and picked up dinner on their way home or to the lair.
Felicity couldn't be happier, not even the cameras and interviews could spoil her good mood. Well, there was one thing that could and it was the fact that they still didn't talk about the future. She wanted to spend the rest of her life with him but she didn't know if it was what he wanted and with only a few days until the decision had to be made it worried her more and more.
So that was why she found her way to Oliver's office on Friday morning. She even checked with Debbie that he didn't have a meeting for at least an hour.
"What brings you here?" asked Oliver with a smile while getting up from his chair.
Felicity took a deep breath. "We need to talk."
Oliver stopped in the middle of his office and frowned. "What about?" he asked cautiously.
"About our future."
He squirmed and to Felicity's disappointment walked back to his chair. "What about it?"
"We are only days from the decision if we stay together. I think we should talk about it. Come on, Oliver, I need to know if you want to be with me after this or not. I don't want to make a foul out of myself if I tell everybody about my feelings for you and that I want to stay married to you because you make me so happy. Can you please tell me what you want?"
He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I didn't want to talk about it because I was worried about the same thing. I love you and I don't want to lose you."
"You love me?" she repeated, a happy smile tugging on her lips.
He looked at her. "Yes, I love you."
"Just to make sure...does it mean that you want to stay married then? Because I would love to, you know?"
"Yes. I want to stay married to you. I don't think I could live without you."
Felicity walked to him, cupped his face and kissed him passionately. "I love you! I will always love you!" she assured him in between kisses.
Oliver looked around the table at their families and friends that night after dinner. They invited everybody, even sent a jet for Donna to be flown to Starling City because they didn't want her to feel left out.
He took a deep breath. "We need to tell you something," he said while holding Felicity's hand. He never imagined it would be this hard to tell someone that he would stay married to his wife.
Thea looked at Felicity before he could continue and asked: "Are you pregnant?"
He could feel Felicity stiffened. "No!" she exclaimed, horrified. "I mean...no, I'm not pregnant...yet...I think."
Oliver chuckled. There might be a possibility of Felicity being pregnant with their very active sex life which didn't escape his sister's attention so he couldn't really blame her for her question. "No, Thea, you're not going to be an aunt just yet but our news is almost as exciting as that." He looked at his wife and smiled before looking at the people around the table. "We decided to stay married."
"Well, that's not really news. We all saw how you look at each other so it would surprise me if you wanted to divorce Felicity," said Thea, unimpressed. "But congratulations anyway!" she added with a huge smile.
After that everybody started to wish them their best. It was nice and it was even better than on their wedding day.
"Does it mean I can plan your vow's renewal?" asked Moira. "It doesn't have to be anything big," she assured them as Oliver raised his eyebrows at his mother. "And I'm sure Donna would love to help me. Right, Donna?" she turned to Felicity's mother sitting to her left.
"I would love to," said Donna who seemed unsure but happy.
"Can I help too?" asked Thea, almost jumping up and down with excitement on her chair.
Oliver looked at Felicity with a smile. "I love you," he mouthed.
His wife smiled and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thank you," she whispered.
Felicity let out a sigh of relief the moment she entered their apartment together with Oliver. They just came back from the meeting with Doctor Henderson and Pastor Phillips where they told them that there would be no divorce. Both of them were happy for them and promised to attend a renewal of their vows.
"Are you okay?" asked Oliver, looking at her with his eyebrows drawn together.
She turned her head to him and smiled a little. "Yeah."
"What was that sigh for then?" he wanted to know with a gentle smile of his own.
She shook her head. "It's going to sound silly."
"Try me," he challenged.
"Well, I know we decided to stay married but I was worried that you would change your mind," she admitted.
"What? Why?" asked Oliver, confused.
She threw her arms in the air. "I don't know! Everything just seems perfect, too perfect."
Oliver pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. "Everything's perfect because we are pretty close to perfect."
Felicity didn't answer; there was nothing to say to that.
"I have something for you," he said as he pulled away from her but kept one arm around her waist. He put his free hand into the pocket of his jeans and pulled out a ring box.
Felicity stared at him speechless.
"I wanted to wait until the evening but it seems like a good time to do it now." He opened the box to reveal a white gold engagement ring with princess cut diamond on the top, got down on one knee and looked up at her. "Felicity Queen, will you marry me?"
"Yes," she exclaimed and bent down to kiss him. "I love you."
So this is it, the end of this story BUT there might be a story about Olicity's life after if you'd like that that's it. =o)
