The response to this story has come to a shock for me, and mostly because I didn't think I would come this far. Thank you for the love and support, it means so much more then I can convey with words. (Big virtual hug to all of you!) I would have updated yesterday, but in order to update you need a chapter and I did not have one until about 2 hours ago.
No beta, mistakes are mine.
Thank you for the follows/favourites and reviews, every single one puts a smile on my face and inspires more writing. If you have a moment write a few words on what you thought, they really keep me going!
Come discuss all things olicity with me on Tumblr at Olicitydominates or blog/olicitydominates.
Enjoy! :)
Oliver and Felicity make their way out of Jitters, and to their vehicles. Oliver is ecstatic he gets to pick up Riley from daycare with Felicity. Everything counts for him, even a few minutes. He missed out far too much, and now it's time to make up for lost time.
Felicity notices Oliver's motorbike, and wonders if they should just commute together.
"Oh you brought the Ducati?" Felicity asks.
"Um, yes. Is that a problem?" Oliver responds, while nervously scratching his head, wondering why that's an issue?
'No, no problem. I just thought we could commute together, and I'm definitely not getting on the death trap. Also, say I did get on said death trap, where would we put Riley?" Felicity rambles on before she can help it and Oliver tries to hold back the laughter, miserably.
"We can take your vehicle?" Oliver thinks that's a simple solution, but there is just one problem.
"We can, but I know how much you hate my Mini. You do realize I still have my Mini." Felicity says, laughing a little remembering all the few times Oliver managed to fit in the Mini, much to his dismay.
"Oh yea, the Mini." Oliver says the last word with such defiance. "I didn't hate the Mini, I just wish it wasn't mini." With that Felicity bursts out laughing.
"I'm sorry, it's so funny how much you hate my Mini, and of course its mini, the name is Mini Cooper for a reason. Although, from your point of view I see why you don't like it. You happen to be the opposite of mini; large, so large." As soon as Felicity's brain caught up to her mouth she realizes what she said and she starts blushing fiercely.
Oliver simply quirks an eyebrow at Felicity, enjoying how flustered she still gets around him.
"Not large, as in your you know." She says pointing to the direction of his groin. "Not that I'm saying it isn't large. I have first hand experience on how not not large it is, and wow you're just the whole package aren't you? I'm making this so much worse. What I am saying is your body is large, in a fit way." Felicity finishes, hoping her blush hasn't deepened anymore. She is a grown women who is a mother, a mother to a child she made with the man right in front of her, she should not be this effected by him.
"Felicity we can take the Mini, I will suck it up." Oliver tells Felicity calmingly, while putting his hand on her shoulder, hoping to relax her down a little.
"Ok, lets go pick up our daughter." They start walking towards Felicity's Mini, and Oliver just wants to stop her, pull her to him and kiss her. He doesn't think she noticed, but she just said our daughter and that makes him beyond happy. This woman has and will continue to make him beyond happy, he is absolutely certain.
On the drive to the daycare, Felicity has to stifle a laugh every time she looks over at Oliver. He looks so uncomfortable, she thinks.
"Go ahead, laugh, I know you want to." Oliver says, after noticing Felicity look over to him for the 10th time, trying to stop the laughter.
"I'm not, I don . . " And before she can even finish, she bursts into laughter, and Oliver joins in. They look at each other through the laughter, and there's a shine in both their eyes; they both make each other happy.
They walk into the daycare together. Oliver feels a little uncomfortable and out of his element. He has never been here before, not even as a child; he had nannies for this.
Then he see's Riley and all those uncomfortable feelings vanish. She is playing with the couple other children; a boy and Sara, he wasn't aware that Diggle's daughter goes to this daycare, but he is glad they have become friends. Seeing all this, he is a little envious of his daughter; he wishes instead of having nannies, he had this, but he had Tommy and that was enough.
"Welcome Miss. Smoak. Riley is just about to get ready. She had a wonderful second day. She has become a favourite amongst all her peers, but she seems to have made a real connection with Chris and Sara." The lady greets the both of them.
"Please, Annie, call me Felicity. I'm so glad she has made friends, I was a little worried, but she is most certainly a people person." Felicity says to Annie. Oliver smiles, not sure what to say. Felicity notices Oliver change in behaviour and figures it because she hasn't introduced them yet.
"Oh my apologies. Annie this is Oliver, Oliver, this is Annie, one of the daycare workers."
"Nice to meet you Annie." Oliver says, extending a hand.
Annie shakes his hand and replies "Like wise Mr. Queen."
With that, Oliver and Felicity go find Riley who is getting her stuff packed and ready to go. Riley notices them and stops everything she is doing.
"Mommy, mommy! I misses you!" Riley runs up to Felicity and immediately picks her up and attacks her with kisses.
"Oh I missed you too baby. Look I brought your friend with me." Felicity points to Oliver's direction who is standing by her. Riley looks over and her smile widens.
"Oh Ol'ver! You comes to daycare to?" Riley asks, a little confused.
Oliver lightly laughs. "No sweetie, I came with your mommy to pick you up."
"Yay!" Riley wiggles out of Felicity's arms and pulls her arms up at Oliver, indicating she wants to get picked up. Oliver instantly picks her up.
Riley runs her hands over Oliver's scruff, and Oliver captures one of her hands, pretending to bite it, eliciting laughter from Riley and Felicity.
"Oh scratchy. Mommy, Ol'ver's face is scratchy." Riley tells Felicity, fascinated by Oliver's face.
"Yes baby, it is." Felicity watches the two of them interact, and it swells her heart.
"Riley how was your day?" Oliver asks Riley as the 3 of them finish packing her things.
"Los (lots) of fun. I mades new friends. Chris and Sara." Riley says, pointing at the two children playing.
Felicity looks at the two children, and she thinks Sara looks familiar.
"Sara doesn't happen to be baby Sara, does she?" Felicity asks Oliver.
"Yea she is. Looks like they were meant to be friends." Oliver responds.
"Small world."
Riley, Oliver, and Felicity all walk out of the daycare together, with Riley in between the two adults holding their hands and swinging. Felicity and Oliver both can't help but think, what a wonderful and adorable family they make.
"Ol'ver, comes for dinner again?" Riley asks, looking between the two.
Oliver bends down, trying to level heights with Riley. "Well I would love to, but it's your mommy's decision." Oliver says and kisses Riley's noise causing giggles.
"Mommy, Ol'ver have dinner please?" Riley eagerly asks Felicity.
"Of course he can have dinner. But are you asking if he can have dinner with us?" Riley nods her head, excitedly.
"Well if he's up for it, the 3 of us can go and get big belly burger?" Felicity looks at Oliver.
"That would be great!" Oliver responds, looking at both Riley and Felicity.
Riley simply screams her excitement and continues being swung by the two.
"Its still too early for dinner, if your free we can spend the rest of the afternoon at the park?" Felicity asks Oliver, hoping he'll say yes. She only wants him to say yes for Riley, not because she is enjoying time with him, she thinks.
"I would love to." Oliver has a few meetings, but he quickly sends a text over to his EA, asking them to be rescheduled.
"Yay, park with Ol'ver and mommy. We go on the swings, and slide, and mo'key bars, and te-er-ta-der (teeter totter)" Riley tells the both of them breathlessly.
"Of course baby." Felicity says, buckling Riley into the car seat with Oliver's help.
Felicity sends a text over to Dick explaining her and Riley's plans for the afternoon and evening with Oliver, and Dicks tells them to have fun and he'll see them at night.
The park turns out to be a huge hit for Oliver and Riley, both are so energetic, Felicity just can't keep up. She takes a seat on the nearby bench and watches the two go on various slide, swings, and etc…
After the park, Riley and Oliver are both tired, Oliver not understanding how he is even more tired playing with a 3 year old, then he is when he is out at night.
They 3 of them head to big belly burger. After the food is ordered and they are eating contently, Oliver decides to speak to Felicity, seeing as Riley is to busy trying to count her fries.
"I really enjoyed today, thank you for letting me tag along." He says genuinely, feeling a little vulnerable.
Felicity puts her hand on his forearm, causing Oliver's breath to hitch slightly at the unexpected contact.
"There is no need to thank me. She is yours, and you are allowed to spend time with her. Plus we both enjoyed your company also." Felicity smiles up at him, hoping he finally recognizes he's allowed to have this.
With all the important things being said, the 3 of them continue to appreciate each other's company.
