It was 1am and Oliver and felicity had just gotten back from the lair, they didn't realise what time it was before they left. "That was...productive" Felicity paused.
"They seemed more excited then we are" she groaned as she dropped on to the bed, rubbing her face.
"I guess they were," he relaxed.
"I'm kinda glad we told them, I couldn't be dealing with the type of questions I would be asked" she moaned.
"yeah i'm glad we told them too" he replied, taking off his shirt and climbed underneath the covers.
They were meeting with the DA today at 1pm about the press release, releasing the news of their marriage and Felicity's pregnancy at the same time.
Felicity was pacing around the apartment worrying and biting her lip repeating the same stuff in her head, 'will they hate me? if they do will they hate me more?'
What will they do? How will they react?
Sometimes she said them aloud but only in a mumble. Oliver noticed her pacing and caught some words of what she was saying.
He walked over to where she was pacing and said in reassurance, "Hey, no-one could possibly hate you" He gently got her by the shoulders and pulled her in to his chest. She instantly relaxed and sank in to his hold.
"You shouldn't worry" he softly said.
"I know I shouldn't" she said, now relaxed.
He held her for a while before he quietly said, "We should get going, you ready?"
"I guess" she bit her lip one more time before she got her purse and they headed for the office.
They arrived at the Mayoral office and the rode the executive elevator to the conference level. Felicity noticed how tired Oliver looked and she stroked one spot on his temple until his eyes fell shut.
"You didn't get much sleep last night did you?"
"I got some"
"Oliver-"
"I'll do better" he smiled.
"Thank you" she mouthed.
They arrived at the conference level and they entered the conference room where Jim Douglas was already there and greeting them as soon as they walked in.
"Mayor Queen, Ms. Smoak" he greeted.
"What did you want to discuss with me about today?"
"Well, we would like to set out a press release" Oliver started as they sat down.
"Including what, exactly?" he continued.
Felicity looked over at him and gave a reassuring nod before looking back down at the table.
"It would contain that Felicity and i got married in secret, or private for this particular matter. Also, that we have learned... that we are to become parents in the next period of months" He exhaled.
Douglas looked at both of them wide-eyed, but then he noticed how nervous Felicity looked, pushing a loose strand of hair from her face, behind her ear. Then realised he should be supportive to both of them.
"Containing that Felicity and I got married in secret or private for this particular matter and that a few weeks ago, we learned that we are to become parents." he finished.
Douglas just looked at them from the other end of the table, wide-eyed, but then he noticed how nervous Felicity looked, pushing a strand of hair out of her eyes, looking down and then he realised he should be supportive towards them both.
"Well... I guess that could be acknowledged" Douglas replied.
"What?" Felicity exclaimed.
"We could work out the details" he said towards Felicity. "We would give them enough information to inform them on the process, but enough so you can have your privacy"
Felicity just looked at Oliver and smiled, "We will have to take some photos, just to keep the press happy"
"Yeah, we can do that" Oliver agreed.
"Ok" Douglas continued, standing up to shake their hand.
"We will email you the details later on and we will get your opinion" he smiled.
"Thank you, Douglas"
They exited the room and the grip on Oliver's hand and the rim of her bag didn't leave until they were outside. She let go and her head fell to his chest and she exhaled. He took her in his arms and just held her.
She let out a shaky breath and he just reassured her "It's going to be fine, i'm not going to let anything happen to both of you" he softly said, putting a hand on he stomach.
"I hope your right" She huffed out a laugh.
"I am" he whispered in her ear.
They left the building and went home.
