Oliver was panicking as he was watching the drunken Felicity who looked at him with her glassy eyes. There was a social worker in front of the door and the most responsible person he knows was drunk
"Who is that?" Felicity asked as Oliver sighed
"Social Services." Oliver said as calmly as possible "You got five minutes to shower... and start acting like the responsible pain in ass that you've been since we moved in. Now go." He said as she nodded her head
"Okay." Felicity said still standing in front of him
"Go, go, go." Oliver said as he pushed her forward and she started walking in to the living room "Upstairs, upstairs. Your room is up here, remember?" he said as she walked over to the stairs
"I'm sorry." She trips over the stairs and gets up again "I'm going. Stop pushing me. Don't push." Felicity told him with a laugh
"Just… I didn't..." Oliver started as he walked over to the door to receive the social worker to who he had slammed the door to
Oliver was showing the social worker around the house slowly giving felicity time to come back to her former self
"You sure you don't wanna see the garage again?" Oliver asked as Janine shook her head
"Nope, twice is my limit." She said with a smile
"I have a whole area of tools you didn't even get a chance to see." Oliver said stalling
"I'm good. I'm usually wrapping up by now and…" Janine said looking at her watch as Felicity entered the room a little messy
"Hello. I'm so sorry. I had to get the little one down." She said as both Oliver and Felicity noticed Sophie behind them
"Oh. And you can see why. Take your eyes off her for one minute and, zoom! You know? Just "tee-tee-tee-tee-tee" on her little legs." Oliver sighs at her words while Janine smiles at her
"Okay, well, let's get started, then." She said as they walked in to the living room taking a seat on the couch "Okay, so let's just talk. You know, I just wanna get a sense of the both of you, your plans. Where do you see yourselves in five years?" Janine asked with a smile as Felicity was a little jumpy
"Ooh, ooh! Ooh! Ask me. I know. Great answer." She said as Oliver shook his head "No, I'm good, I'm good. I own a small company. We're expanding. New flooring, I'm thinking hexagonal tile." Felicity said as Oliver cut in
"New flooring. That's part of everyone's five-year plans. Flooring, right?" as Felicity looked at him in confusion
"I'm a graduate of MIT which makes a lot more sense to you that I have a company. One day I'm hoping that we will be a bigger name you know new technologies and software units. But that's the 10-year plan. You asked about the five-year. Oh, God, I didn't include Sophie." Felicity said more to herself then anybody
"You didn't." Janine said with a surprised look on her face
"Let me just take it back. She is a big part of my plan." Felicity said as Janine cut her off
"That's fine. Thank you." She said with a smile "Oliver." She said turning her head towards him
"Yep, Oliver's good. Oliver will be fine." He has never been this nervous in his life this had never happened to him
"Okay, Oliver." Janine said with a smile as if asking him to continue so he did
"Well, I'm the CEO of Queen consolidated. Or at least I'm trying to be one. My dad he love that company and it's the only thing left after his death and it kind of felt right to take it over instead of letting mum do it or somebody else you know." He said as Janine nodded her head "And I guess in a couple years... once I'm settled I'm hoping to start something that is my own and if possible with the help of my sister." Oliver smiled at the mention of Thea and Felicity looked at him with a small smile
"Okay. So Mr. Dunn tells me that you're both single...and presently not engaged in a relationship." Janine started "You are not sleeping together?" she added as they both shook their heads
"God, no." They both said
"Okay, good." Janine said
"Oh, my God, no. No, no, no. Not a chance." They both continued saying
"Okay, that's great, because this situation...two single people living under the same roof...raising a recently orphaned child, well, it's complicated enough... without the added complication of, you know, that." Janine said as they both smiled and Felicity said
"Oh, trust me, Janine, we will not be complicating anything with that." At that she looked at Oliver as Janine nodded her head
"Yeah, I get plenty of that elsewhere." Oliver said with a sly grin
"I'd get plenty of that in my day as well." Felicity said smirking at his answer
"Way back in the day." Oliver said as Felicity smiled
"Listen. You two both seem like two sweet, doe-eyed people...about to have the worst year of your lives. I'll be honest with you. Wanna make jokes about tranny hookers? Go for it, I don't care. You have no idea the types of families that I deal with." Janine said as Oliver and Felicity stood still "Tranny hookers? They're my good cases. The only obstacle here is you two...and whether or not you're both cut out to be parents. What we want to avoid is Sophie losing more people that she's close to." At that Felicity and Oliver nodded "You know, your friends thought you could do this, but I'll be honest... I'm not so sure." At her words Oliver and Felicity shared a look.
Were they ever going to be what Sophie needed two responsible parents or was this just a big mistake.
