Felicity's pov
"So, Coast city, that was the big plan to get away." I said to Oliver as we passed the sign.
"I was thinking we could stay here a couple weeks and decide from there." He told me.
"Sounds good!" I told him and we kept driving until we pulled into this cute little hotel. We got out of the car and Oliver talked with the man at the front desk. A couple minutes later he held a couple keys in his hands and we went up to the second floor to find our room.
"You can go in, I'll go get our bags," Oliver told me once we were right outside of the room. He gave me a key, kissed my head and left. I opened the door and found a beautiful room with a large bed covered in sky blue sheets, which looked very nice in contrast to the plain white walls,and at least 4 large pillows on each side of the bed. The room was spacious and included a couch, a coffee table, a mini fridge, a dresser and everything else you might find in a hotel room. In fact, the only difference than other hotel rooms seemed to be the very large flat screen TV. I sat down on the couch and decided to turn on the TV. I flipped to the news and automatically I saw Palmer Technology's with the entire top floor practically gone. I grabbed the remote and turned up the TV.
"- Palmer was the only one in the building at this time, everyone had actually been giving the week off due to undisclosed reasons but speculations say that somehow Palmer had come up with the cure for the bioweapon attack that took place just yesterday. I'm just hearing that there are no signs of Mr. Palmer and right now he is presumed dead, Starling City and the world has just lost a hero."
But the time Oliver was back in the room with our suitcases I was sobbing into a pillow. He ran over to me and gave me a hug.
"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Oliver asked worried and I cried into his strong shoulders.
"Ray- he's dead." I barely got out before another fit of sobs hit me. Ray had done a lot, sure, but he was one of my best friends and now he was gone.
"It's said that before Palmer died he left his company to his now former vice president, Miss Felicity Smoak. " I heard the news reporter said, and sure enough, my picture appeared on screen.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't you have to sign something in order to be the CEO of a fortune five-hundred company?" Oliver asked me looking at the screen puzzled.
"Of course, I would have had to sign a document transferring-" all of a sudden a thought popped in my head, well less of a thought and more of a memory.
"Well, while I'm waiting to do something for you could you do something for me? Will you sign here and here?"
"So what's this?" I asked him.
"Not much, just some business stuff Ms. Vice President."
"That son of a- how dare he! I hope he's rotting in whatever hell-" I started but Oliver cut me off, he had a worried look on his face.
"Woah Felicity, one second you were crying over his death and now you hope he's rotting in hell? You don't even believe in hell!" Oliver tried to calm me down but it wasn't working, angry tears fell down my face.
"I'm willing to believe in it if that's where he's at." I spat out.
"Felicity!" Oliver said in the way that he always does when he needs my full attention." Can you please tell me what happened. Hot tears still ran down my face but I steadied my breathing enough to tell him what happened.
" It was when you came back to starling but you know, as Darth Oliver, and-" I began.
"Darth Oliver?" He interrupted.
" Thea didn't tell you I called you that?" When he shook his head I shrugged but continued on with the story. " Anyways, I guess you had just kidnapped Lyla and I was still at Palmer Tech, Ray came to apologize about freaking out when he found out I was pregnant-"
"He freaked out at you?" I was interrupted once again by the Queen himself.
"Do you want me to finish the story or not?" I raised my voice at him, he nodded his head and pantomimed zipping his lips shut. "Good, well then, where was I? Oh yeah, so Ray apologized and asked what was wrong but then figured out it was 'Oliver related' so in other words,'no touchy subject' and-" Oliver laughed a little but kept his mouth mostly closed so I continued the story." Okay, point is, he told me to sign a paper, he said it was 'just some business stuff' and I signed the paper and I didn't read it and he tricked me into being the CEO so yes, he deserves to rot in hell." I concluded and breathed in. I didn't realize how out of breath I was until I breathed in and realized I felt a bit light headed. Oliver raised his hand and I nodded.
"Permission to speak?" He asked, trying to contain his grin.
"Granted." I said as I wiped the tears off my face, talking to Oliver somehow made me feel a whole lot better about this whole situation.
"So you're pretty much saying that Ray tricked you into signing a paper that made you CEO of Palmer Tech. Correct?" Oliver asked trying to sound innocent.
"Did you not just listen to my story?" I said exasperated.
"I did, but you also babbled a lot, which I find adorable." He added the last part when I made a face at him.
"Do you know how hard it is to stay mad at you?" I asked him.
"Oh you know, I'm just too amazing," he said with a smile. So in response to his cockyness, I grabbed the couch cousin that I had formerly been crying on, and walked him in the head with it. "Hey!" He yelled playfully and retaliated by ticking me. Once we were both calmed down, just sitting on the couch with me. He leaned over and kissed me on the head. "I am truly sorry about what happened, I know we left to get away but I'm more than willing to go back for his funeral." Oliver told me.
"I appreciate that but no. We left the city to get away, and I'm afraid that if I go back, I might not be able to leave. Besides, I don't know if I could handle his funeral, I just need to process this on my own and in my own time." I said, leaning into Oliver's chest. I felt his breathing against my body and we stayed like this for another minute or two, until we were interrupted by my stomach growling.
"Your baby is hungry." I told him and he smiled.
"Which one?" He asked and then took turns pointing at my chest and then at my stomach,"You or you?"
"Both of us," I told him. "Do you think they have a Big Belly Burgers here?"
"I don't see why they wouldn't, last time I was here they had one." He told me, his hand still lingered on my stomach.
"When were you here last?" I asked him, not recalling anytime in the last 3 years him going to Coast City.
"5 years ago, I was here for a few months trying my first attempt at being a vigilante." He responded and his eyebrows kind of scrunched together.
"How did that work out for you?" I asked.
"Well let's just say that I didn't have you on my team, and besides, you only heard of a hooded vigilante at Starling City, not one here, if that tells you anything." Rather than press him for more answers of the 5 years he went through I changed the subject back to food.
"Well I'm in the mood for a giant hunk of greasy meat right now." I said and Oliver had to cover his mouth to contain his outburst of laughter before I realized how wrong that sounded. "That is definitely not what I meant to say, that isn't what I want, but that doesn't mean I never- I meant a burger, not anything else, I mean-" Oliver was still smiling.
"It's okay, I know what you meant." He leaned over and kissed me on the lips. "I love you, so much Felicity." Oliver told me, but this was nothing like when Ray told that to me. This time I knew with absolute certainty, the feeling I had for Oliver.
"I love you too," I told him and we shared a long passionate kiss.
We sat in a booth of Big Belly Burger eating our food and just enjoying each other's company.
"You know, part of me never pictured myself as a dad. I mean, I've always wanted kids but I never saw myself being the kind of man I would want to be to raise kids." Oliver told me, he was looking at my stomach.
"I know the feeling, I kind of wanted to be married first but once everything happened, once I knew I was pregnant, everything just kind of changed for me." I told Oliver honestly.
"Are you scared?" He asked me. I ate another try before responding.
"Yeah, a little. I'm not just scared of what may happen to it." I said and rested my head on his shoulder. "What about you?"
"Yeah," he answered honestly, "But as long as I'm with you I'll be fine. You make me happy."
"You said happy two times today." I fiend surprise but I was actually really glad. "This must be a new record."
"But hey, if this had to happen, I'm glad it was with you." He said.
"I couldn't have said it better myself." I said and remembered something important.
"What's the matter? You're crinkling your eyebrows like you do when something is wrong." He said and I thought it was so cute that he noticed that.
"I realized I haven't gone to the doctors yet. I mean I need to get vitamins and stuff." I told him. He breathed a small sigh of relief.
"We can make an appointment for when you want. I'm sure there is a good enough doctor here." He told me and I nodded.
"Well it's Thursday today, maybe tomorrow or Saturday? I think we will just have to see when they are open." I said and leaned in to him."I like this."
"What?" Oliver asked.
"Just us together, no villain trying to kill us, no attack on the city, just us eating lunch and being together. " I told oliver and he smiled.
"I like it too, it's nice being out here with just you." He said to me.
"You know what, you should write poetry. " I said and he put his arms around me.
"I wouldn't know how to write poetry, besides, what would I write it about?" He asked me playing along.
"Oh it would be great like, 'two roads diverged in a wood on lian yu, and I took the one that made me into a bad*ss vigilante, I became someone else, I became something else.'" I made up on the spot. He laughed and he held me tighter. I felt his laugh reverberate through his chest on the back of my head.
"I think I'll leave the poetry writing to you," he said. "So what do you want to do today?"
"Well, I promised I would catch you up on the MCU didn't I?" I said and he nodded.
"Where do we start?" He asked.
"Well, we could start with hulk but we don't need to because he's a different actor in avengers and everyone knows hulk- you do know hulk right?" I clarified.
"I know enough, he's a guy that gets angry and turns green and big." He told me and I clapped a little.
"Yes, you're not completely hopeless!" I said and he faked looking offended. "Anyways, the best place to start would be Iron-man one and two, then Thor one, then Captain America one, then Avengers one, then-"
"Wait, how many marvel movies are there?" Oliver asked cutting me off.
"A lot, but we can start with that." I said and he agreed. We stood up and we walked out to our car and began driving back to the hotel room. We drove in silence except for the radio playing softly in the background.
"Felicity," Oliver said with a serious voice and he kept his eyes on the road. "I haven't really been sure when to tell you this, but I figure I better get it out of the way sooner than later." For a moment I was worried but I figured it couldn't be too bad, and besides, we promised no secrets and he was taking steps to keep that promise.
"Whatever it is, I'll be understanding. You can trust me with anything." I told him with absolute sincerity.
"Well, you know how I use to be before the island." He told me and I nodded.
"Yeah of coarse. You partied, drank, slept with a whole lot of women, and got arrested." I spoke my thoughts out loud. "I'm sorry, that was harsh."
"No, you're exactly right, that was who I was. Well one of those women I slept with, well I was dating Laurel at the time and Tommy had got me to go to a party and I slept with this girl and- you know what,, you probably don't want those details now that you and I - "
"No who's the one that babbles?" I said jokingly.
"I'm sorry, it's just kind of awkward talking about that with my girlfriend and, well, you understand don't you?" he said and I finally understood why he found my babbling cute.
"Yes, I completely understand. From now on, we can acknowledge past relationships and not get jealous because of feelings that are long gone. Deal?" I suggested and he nodded.
"Deal, so long story short she had gotten pregnant from our one night stand, kind of like what happened to you except I was drunk and I was different than I am now and a few days later she had a miscarriage." He said in one long breath. I took a second to process it and smiled.
"Okay." I said.
"Wait you're not mad?" He took his eyes off the road to stare at me puzzlingly.
"Of course not, I'm actually surprised only one girl ended up pregnant from how you were before." I said completely honestly. "In fact, I wouldn't really care if the baby was born, our kid would just have an older sibling and we would work it out. I love you for you,and like you said once before to me, I'm glad for the experiences you had to go through because they shaped the person you are today, and you know how I feel about him." He stared dumbfounded at me until someone behind us honked their horn and we realised it was a green light and we began driving again.
"How was I so lucky to end up with you?" He asked me.
"I could ask you the exact same question." I told him, once we pulled into the parking lot of the hotel, Oliver pulled me in for a long kiss.
Hey guys, I hoped you like that. I know it's nothing compared to last chapter but I felt like writing the next chapter. So as you may have noticed I haven't completely spoiled anything for season 4 but I may have hinted slightly at a couple things. Also I wanted to clarify that it's not that Felicity is heartless and forgot about Ray that quickly, it's just that she is so happy with Oliver, she almost can't remember her problems when she is with him. I know that has happened to me before,being with someone that makes me feel better almost instantly, but she still will be dealing with his death (cough cough cough DC legends of tomorrow trailer spoiled it for me cough cough cough), sorry, I just got a tickle in my throat. So yeah, there is going to be a few chapters of fluff before I dive into season 4 because I'm worried that I'll write something and it won't make sense with the show, like things dealing with Felicity's family and Oliver and the announcement he made at the end of episode 2 but that's all I'm saying, other than my reaction was the same as Digg's on episode 4 I believe. Well, that's all I have for today, please follow, favorite and review, and I realize I have been watching too many YouTube videos because I accidentally typed "like, comment and subscribe." *facepalm* Well see you guys later, bye!
