Hello sweet Oliciter! I'm back earlier :)
So, I wanted to THANK YOU so much for all the reviews I got and I decided to upload a new chapter today. The ones that asked me to show more of Thea and Felicity's relationship will love this chapter.
I hope you like it and keep reviewing!
A loud noise woke Felicity from a deep sleep. Her eyes opened with difficulty and Felicity shrank back against Oliver's warm body.
The noise continued to harass them on the bedside table. Felicity felt Oliver move up and put himself on top of her to stop the annoying noise.
"What?!"
The noise was Felicity's cell phone. Which was right next to her head.
"Thea, do you know what time it is?" Felicity heard Oliver ask impatiently.
"I don't know… let me ask her." Oliver replied defeated. With his free hand he took some locks of Felicity's hair from her neck and kissed it softly.
"Thea wants to talk to you…" he said, his face buried in her neck.
Felicity sighed and turned around, hugging Oliver and pulling her phone from his hands.
Oliver laid his head on Felicity's bare chest and heard the conversation with Thea, while drawing circles senseless in her round belly.
"Hello, Thea?" Felicity said stroking Oliver's hair.
"I woke up with a brilliant idea. Yesterday I was trying to organize some places to go see about the wedding and I thought you could come with me and see the places. And after that we could go buy clothes. What do you say?" Thea asked every excited for 9am.
"I'm not really in the mood…"
"Come on Licy. We don't have much time. Come on…" Thea insistent voice meant Felicity couldn't say no to her.
"Okay, okay. We meet in half an hour, okay?" She asked sighing and laying her head on top of Oliver's.
"Great. I'll be there in 30 minutes." Thea said lively and hanging up.
Oliver nibbled the outer part of the breast that was near him and smiled.
"You're really not in the mood, are you?" He asked.
"I want to be there, after all it's our wedding and I know Thea just wants to help. But… I would like to be here with you. For me, we could have the marriage right here, we just need a notary to get married."
Oliver leaned on his elbows and looked at her.
Her blue-green eyes still had remnants of sleep; her blonde hair was tangled and scattered on the white pillow.
Beautiful and natural.
Oliver didn't know a lot of women who were irresistible with and without makeup. Felicity's was one of the few that were gorgeous in any way.
Her hand rose from his chest to caress his jaw.
"I wouldn't be here anyway," Oliver said, leaning his face in her hand.
"Why, is there any problem?" She asked worried, with a wrinkled brow.
"No. Diggle and I just have to do some research."
"So I cancel it and I'll help you."
"Baby, you're going out with Thea and you'll enjoy yourself. Diggle and I won't do anything serious, just some recognition." He said, lowering his head and kissing his lips.
"But…"
"If we need you I'll call you right away, okay?" He said trying to find an option that Felicity accepted.
She didn't seem too convinced.
"But you'll call me! If anything happens…"
"Yes, baby. Don't worry, relax." Oliver's mouth covered hers and silenced the argument.
Her legs wrapped themselves around his waist and Felicity felt Oliver hardening.
Felicity smiled satisfied and rubbed her hips into his.
Oliver's hands gripped her by the hips and she felt him lift her from the bed.
"Oliver, what are you doing?" She squealed as she held on his shoulders.
Oliver laughed and walked to the bathroom.
"We need to hurry, so I'll make love to you in the shower. So we kill two birds with one stone." He said, turning the hot water on, with Felicity on his lap.
"But the shower is supposed to clean us, not getting even dirty. And your sister will be here in a short time. I know she's usually late but when it comes to shopping…"
Oliver leaned his forehead against hers and smiled.
"Felicity, shush." He said, kissing her.
The hot water was a scalded touch on her skin. Oliver leaned her back against the cold shower tiles. The air disappeared from Felicity's lungs and she just stared at the man she loved most in the world.
The water fell on his head and ran down his face. His blue eyes were intense and dark. His face had a serious air of worship and charm.
Taking one hand from her hips, he stroked her cheek and brought her closer to his mouth. With open eyes they saw the emotions that controlled them.
Felicity smiled against his lips and closed her eyes, moving her hips on his hard cock.
Oliver closed his eyes tightly and thrusted inside her.
Everything was rampant, intense and passionate.
"If I get late your sister will kill me. But then I'll say it's your fault." Felicity said as she dried and put on a bra.
Oliver smiled and shook his head.
"She will be late…"
While Oliver finished saying those words, the doorbell rang.
"Late…right." Muttered Felicity. She put on a dark blue shirt and a white skirt with black dots and put on some flat shoes. She looked herself in the mirror and lowered her shoulders. "I look like a whale…"
Oliver came near her and encircled her waist, caressing her belly and feeling their son move inside her.
"You're beautiful. And you're not fat… you're pregnant. I like the change," Oliver said biting her ear, "I have more to grab."
Felicity blushed and smiled embarrassed.
"Oliver…" The truth was Felicity was beginning to have complexes with her body. She has always been thin and in a moment's notice she increased her proportions. Her breasts were larger, her hips wider and even her ass was rounder. There were days when Felicity felt sexy and powerful, but there were others where she only wanted to wear loose clothing and hide her body.
Oliver helped her accepting her new curves. Aside from the hunger that Felicity always has, her sexual desire increased greatly. Yes, before they had sex almost every day but now… well, let's say that sometimes they look like bunnies.
"You look beautiful." Oliver said kissing her cheek.
Felicity thanked him and took her coat.
"Call me if anything happens." She asked insistently.
Oliver nodded and opened the bedroom's door. They went downstairs and saw Thea sitting on the couch with Moira.
"Good morning," they greeted.
"Morning." The replied lively standing and putting her jacket on. "Come on, Licy we have a lot to see. My mother comes too, so she can help us choose." Moira smiled and hugged Felicity affectionately.
"Sure, I would love if you come with us." Felicity said, returning the gesture.
"Then let's go." Thea said walking to the door. "Bye Ollie." She kissed his cheek and left.
Felicity said goodbye to Oliver and breathed deeply. She had a long day ahead.
The first place they went to see was a beautiful venue.
The owner of the rental space was extremely friendly and she babbled a lot.
"The space is large and it's good for several guests. Do you know, more or less, how many people are coming?" The lady asked.
Thea looked at Felicity and smiled.
"We were thinking about a more reserved thing. Fifty people maximum." Felicity said, ignoring Thea's incredulous look.
"Oh. Well then come with me. I have the perfect place."
"Only fifty people?" Thea whispered while entwining Felicity's arm in hers. Moira went beside them and smiled at her daughter's childlike enthusiasm.
The lady took them to a more private area and to a house that had a vaulted ceiling.
When they walked into the space, Felicity felt like she was in a fairytale.
In the center of the ceiling was a large opening that let them see the bright and sunny sky; several chandeliers illuminated the space that was ample and with a large central dance track.
"The tables are usually placed around the dance floor, scattered through the space. Near the master window is the bride and groom's table. The color and décor are left to the bride and groom tastes, of course." The lady said smiling.
Felicity looked around and saw dozens of windows. The room was beautiful, cozy and romantic.
"We'll take it." Was all she said. Thea nodded and started talking about colors to decorate the tables and chairs.
They decided that the colors to decorate the venue would be white and violet lavender. The centerpieces would be tall glasses with flowers of various colors and shapes and the music would be offered by the band of the venue.
When they left the venue Felicity felt happy and with a dream coming true.
"And now we go shopping." Thea said getting inside the car.
Felicity looked at Moira and smiled.
"If you're too tired, we can go home. You know how Thea can be around clothes." Moira said, passing her hand over Felicity's cheek.
"No, it's fine. There's also a store I want to go." Felicity said getting inside the car.
When they got to the mall Felicity didn't know where to turn. Stores everywhere. Till one called her attention.
"Let's go to this first, okay?" She asked already going in the store's direction.
At the store entrance was a huge teddy bear.
"Oh, clothes for my nephew!" Thea said excitedly.
Felicity still hadn't bought anything, but she still had time, because she was just due in four months.
The store was a dream. Clothes of all colors and toys everywhere. The woman smiled all charmed.
"Look at this baby-grow." Thea said, showing them a blue baby set with a picture of Mickey Mouse.
"This is beautiful." Moira was holding a set for a more grown baby, but it was really cute. A black shorts, a gray short sleeve with some white symbols a little white vest and a black bow tie.
Irresistible.
Felicity Moira and Thea bought almost half of the store. Okay, so Thea bought almost half of the store. She said that her nephew deserved the best and since her aunt was a fashion expert the child would have to be always well dressed.
The last store they went to was for the wedding dresses.
Only by the store's name, Felicity knew that the prices would be higher than her budget. Yes, it was her wedding dress but it was a dress she would only wear for a few hours, and she didn't want to spend that much money on that.
But this store was a request of Moira. It had been there that she had bought her wedding dress and Felicity wanted to please her.
Dresses on hangers covered the walls on one side and the other of the store. The reception had a few couches and a lady with red hair came to them.
"Moira, it's so good to see you! How are you?" The lady said, strongly embracing Moira. "I'm Karen and I'll be you consultant today." She said turning to Thea and Felicity.
"How are you Karen? I haven't been up here in a while." Moira answered her, walking further into the store with Karen. "I came with my future daughter in law, to see some dresses."
Karen turned back and smiled at Felicity.
"Finally the boy settled. And he knows how to choose well." She said.
Felicity blushed and thanked the compliment.
"Come on, we can go to a more private place."
Karen took them to a white couch in front of a huge mirror and pedestal.
"Tell me when it's going to be the wedding, do you already have some idea of what you want, what's your budget…" Karen sat next to Felicity and picked up a booklet of notes.
"Oh… well, the wedding is in a month…"
"A month? That is very close. You'll have to choose a dress that won't need changes. And you're pregnant, congratulations. Moira, you must be very happy. You son is going to get married and you're going to be a grandmother."
"Yes, I couldn't be happier." Moira said smiling at Felicity and patting her hand.
"Well, I would like a dress in A-line, with a bit of cleavage and lace."
"Okay, and in terms of budget, do you have a price that you don't want to overcome?"
"No! The price doesn't matter." Moira answered before Felicity could speak. "I'll be the one paying for the dress."
"Moira? I can't accept that."
"Felicity, please. This is my son's wedding and I already consider you as my daughter. And I want you to be as radiant as possible. Please accept it." Moira asked with a bright and deep look.
"But…" Felicity on one hand didn't want to accept. She didn't want Moira to pay for her dress, but she could understand her request. "I accept," she replied to Thea and Moira's rejoice, "but, it can't be a very high price… please."
Moira agreed but when Felicity turned her back she motioned for Karen to not worry about the price.
"Very well then, come with me and let's get started. You can stay here waiting." Karen said, standing up and leading Felicity to the dressing room.
The room had a huge mirror on the wall and Felicity took a deep breath.
The first dress she tried was beautiful. There was no denying.
It was a mermaid style with embellished corded lace flourishes throughout the tulle trumpet gown. The strapless corset hugged her curves and the detachable grosgrain belt with Swarovski crystals emphasized her belly.
"It's beautiful, but I don't really like how it looks on the belly." Felicity muttered.
"Do you want to show them?"
"Yes…"
They left the locker room and walked to where Moira and Thea were.
"So beautiful…" Thea signed.
"What do you think Felicity?" Moira asked, standing up and placing herself alongside Felicity, looking at the mirror.
"I think it's gorgeous but I don't like the waist…"
"Maybe we have to choose one that doesn't show your belly so much." Advised Karen.
Felicity nodded and they went back to the dressing room.
The second dress was all lace.
Chantilly and Alencon lace cap sleeves, a twist of sweetheart chiffon empire line cut, mermaid skirt and buttons over the back zipper.
The back of the dress was amazing and the effect was really good, but Felicity didn't felt like this was the one.
"Let's show them…"
Thea got up from the couch as soon as she appeared.
"I like it, but I liked the other more… I don't like the effect it gives to your chest. What do you think mom?" Thea alleged.
"They all fit you so well, but I think this isn't the one."
Felicity nodded and, once again, went back to the dressing room.
After having tried four more dresses and rejected three without showing them, Felicity was beginning to doubt she'd find her dress.
"Don't despair. I think I have one last chance. I'll be righ back, okay?" Karen said, taking the dresses and leaving Felicity alone.
Her phone vibrated and Felicity picked it up.
A text message from Oliver appeared on the screen, eliciting a smile to Felicity.
"I hope everything is going well.
Don't tire yourself.
Digg and I found new information and we're going to investigate.
Love you."
Felicity smiled and replied.
"Be careful. Call me if anything happens."
"Don't worry.
Enjoy and don't let Thea push it. :)
Love you."
Felicity laughed and saw Karen enter the room with a dress tucked in her arm.
"That smile, it has a name. Oliver Queen."
Felicity opened her smile further and stood up from the chair.
When Karen took the dress off the hanger and showed it to Felicity, tears came up to her eyes.
"That's a good sign. Let's try it."
The dress was all she ever wanted and dreamed of.
The sleeves were decorated with strands of crystals, from her shoulders to the bottom of her back. The neckline was open in V, all in lace. Beneath her chest the dress had a crystal belt. The skirt fell straight not showing her rounded belly. The lace skirt was all crafted and hit the ground, giving her an ethereal look and a vintage touch.
When Felicity faced Moira and Thea she had tears streaming down her face.
Thea lost her speech and Moira smiled enchanted.
"This is it! I don't even have words." Thea said delighted looking at Felicity. "It doesn't even show the belly. Oliver will run away with you before anyone sees how gorgeous you look." She said enthusiastically embracing Felicity.
Her eyes couldn't deviate from her image on the mirror.
"Is that the dress?"
Felicity woke from her trance and looked at the price of the dress.
It was more that what she wanted to spend but still an affordable and reasonable price.
Moira and Thea were on either side of her, smiling and supporting her.
"This is it."
Felicity realized that choosing a dress was like choosing a man. When you find the right one you stop looking.
The accessories that completed the dress were beautiful and simple. A bracelet with crystal equal to the dress and small pearl earrings.
Thea and Moira also chose their dresses for the wedding.
Thea opted for a short, red halter-neck dress, with some crystals decorating the bust. Moira was more subdued in colors and chose a two-piece silk shantung suit that had a sleeveless knee-length dress with scoop neckline and midriff trimmed with hand-beaded lace. The matching bolero jacket had three-quarter length sleeves and matching beaded lace trim.
Beautiful and classic.
After nearly a full day at shopping, Felicity came home and just wanted to take a warm bath.
"Oliver?" She called when she got home. Moira had gone take care of some details related to the guests of the bridegroom and Thea had gone to Roy's.
"Hello, miss, he's not here." Raise said to her, putting on her jacket.
"Oh. Hi, Raisa. I'm sorry I hadn't seen you."Felicity said putting the bags on the couch.
"Don't worry. Is everything okay? I'm leaving to go meet a friend, today is bingo night." Raisa laughed.
Felicity didn't know Raisa enjoyed playing.
"No, I'm fine. Have a nice game."
Raisa thanked her and left.
Felicity put the bags with her and the baby clothes in her old room and went to the room she shared with Oliver.
When she was starting to undress, her phone rang.
"John? Is everything okay?" She asked.
"Felicity, you better come up to the foundry." Was all he said hurriedly.
Felicity got her coat and her car keys and went down the stairs as fast as she could.
She ran to the foundry and slammed the door shut, breathlessly.
"Diggle? Oliver?" She asked.
"Felicity?" She heard Diggle.
Oliver was lying on the table with machines attached to his chest.
"What happened?" She asked anxious, stroking Oliver's face.
"We were about to get the guy but he threw a knife out of nowhere. I told Oliver that it was best to give up for the night. But he insisted on staying and go after him. Result: he got away and Oliver lost a lot of blood."
The machine that read his heart rate shot up and Diggle grabbed the spades.
"Get away, Felicity."
When the shock touched Oliver's body, Felicity felt as if it was in her own. The machine stopped beeping and its mismatching rate stabilized.
Felicity lowered her face and kissed Oliver cheek.
"Come on, Oliver. You can't leave me. I need you, our son needs you." Felicity said with tears in her eyes.
The following hours were critical, with Oliver's blood pressure dropping. When things calmed down, Felicity sat in a chair next to Oliver and laid her head on his shoulder.
Her hands stroked his jaw, drawing nonsensical patterns.
Sleep and fatigue took her and her eyes closed.
A hand moved in her hair and a hot breath blew in her face. Her back was killing her and her eyes were heavy.
The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Oliver bluish eyes.
"Oliver?"
She raised her head so fast she got dizzy.
She shook her head and laced Oliver's face in her hands.
"What were you thinking?! You were injured; you should have come back here! And why didn't you tell me?! I had to know through Diggle. Imagine what I felt when I saw you lying here? Or when your blood pressure dropped so low Diggle had to use the defibrillator? Oliver, please don't do…"
Oliver's mouth covered hers.
The kiss was hot, homesick and feverish.
They separated the mouths but their foreheads met.
"Don't do that ever again!" Felicity asked looking deeply at him.
Oliver nodded and drew Felicity up next to him.
"But why didn't you tell me that the case was more serious than what we thought?"
"Because I didn't know. The guy started killing randomly, without any remorse and without any link. I know he is taking revenge against me, but I don't know who he is. He hides very well all his steps."
"But you did you find something I can use to identify him?"
"No…"
"I'm glad to see you're awake." Diggle spoke behind them.
Oliver turned to Diggle.
"I think I owe you an apology. And a thank you." Oliver said solemnly.
Diggle smiled and shook his head.
"No need between us."
A family. That's what they were.
When Felicity and Diggle took Oliver home, Diggle said goodbye and Felicity returned to the room where they had laid Oliver.
She stood at the door, seeing Oliver removing the patch from his wound on his chest. Felicity stood there contemplating him till he realized and looked at her, calling her to his side.
Felicity lay down beside him and rested her head on the right side of his chest.
They were silent, each thinking about what had happened during the day, till Felicity raised her head and looked at Oliver.
"I bought baby clothes today." The words brought a warm smile to Oliver's face. "And I have a surprise for you. I don't know if you'll like it, but I think so. But, of course, we can change if you think it doesn't make sense or…"
"Felicity…"
Felicity smiled and left the bed. She took a blue bag that was near the door and took something from inside of it.
She hid it behind her back and turned to face Oliver.
Oliver smiled at her and Felicity opened a beautiful grin.
In her hands was a blue and white striped baby-grow with a written name in the middle of the chest.
Tommy.
This is it! Hope you like it :) Please, keep reviewing and tell me what you think. If you want to see the dresses (Thea and Felicity's wedding dress) go to my profile page.
By the way, I read a few spoilers on Tumblr about Oliver's reaction to Felicity and Barry's dance and I'm really afraid of it. I'm afraid his reaction is just concern because he sees her as a sister. And I don't want that! I want Oliver to be jealous because he is falling for her! What do you think it will be his reaction?
Stephen and Emily said this episode would show how Oliver really felt for Felicity...
Anyway, Thank you so much for every word you you write to me and, if you want the next chapter soon, keep reviewing :)
Till then,
Take care and ship Olicity.
