That night was not off to a good start. After Janine had left tragedy strikes. Oliver and Felicity were at loss as Sophie started crying
"How can I be hung-over if I haven't even gone to sleep yet?" Felicity said as she was holding Sophie trying to make her stop crying
"Look, all we have to do is put her down." Oliver started with as Felicity kept pacing "We just gotta put her…" he was cut off by Felicity
"She's not warm. She doesn't have a fever. She's just overtired." She said sighing as she walked in to the living room with Sophie still crying in her arms
"What time is it?" Oliver asked as he followed her
"It's okay, Soph. Come on, honey." Felicity said to the baby girl as she tried to make her calm down and stop crying like she has been doing since the social worker left "I don't know. Start wearing a watch." Felicity said as she walked out of the living room in to the kitchen with Sophie still crying
"There's gotta be somebody we can call." Oliver said as he followed them and they both thought about it
"The baby whisperer!" They both said at the same time as they looked for her phone number and the teenage girl agreed to come over
"Hey, thank you for coming over." Oliver said as Sophie wouldn't stop crying
"It's okay." The girl said as she smiled at them both
"Sorry about your dad. He's a pretty scary dude, huh?" Oliver said as the girl looked at Sophie
"Come here, Sophie." She said taking the baby girl form Felicity's hands
"Thank you, Amy." Felicity said as they both followed her in to the kitchen where Amy held Sophie near the fan and she calmed down
"I don't know why, but this fan always helps. Beats having to take her for a drive." Amy said holding the now calm Sophie in her hands as both Oliver and Felicity nodded happy that Sophie was not crying anymore "Anyway, big math test tomorrow, so..." she said as Felicity took Sophie and put her in her crib as her and Oliver walked Amy to the door and Felicity whispered
"Give her some money." Oliver nodded
"Oh, Amy, Amy." He said pulling some bills from his wallet
"It's okay. Doesn't feel right to take it anymore." Amy said as Oliver was about to close his wallet Felicity slapped him over the chest and said
"Give her the money." At that Oliver said
"No, I insist." And with shines Amy took the money form Oliver's hand
"Thank you so much." Felicity said as they opened the door for her "Good luck on your math test." Felicity said as she was outside walking away "Oh, thank God. Whew." She said as Oliver looked at her
"I know." He said as Sophie was about to cry
"Oh, no. No, no, no." They both said at the same time rushing over to Sophie they shared a look
"Too close. You're holding her too…Look, you're gonna chop her head off." Felicity said to Oliver who was trying to make her stop crying the same way Amy did but with no luck
"That's what the babysitter was doing." Oliver said as he was holding a crying Sophie near the fan
"She wasn't. No, she was soothing her down here." Felicity said as Oliver looked at her but none of that worked.
As Sophie was still crying they decided to make a drive around the block that turned in to a all night drive. They were both tiered and exhausted wishing they could go to bed while Sophie was drinking from her bottle calm and looking out the window.
After a few cups of coffee and Sophie being calm Oliver and Felicity were functioning once again as normal people not like zombies that they were when they walked back in to the house form the all night drive. Oliver was on the phone with the board
"Mm-hm. Absolutely. Yeah, I'm on my way now. Okay. Yeah, really, thank you so much. All right, bye-bye." Just as he hung up Felicity was down with a basket of laundry in her hands "We are finally closing that deal with Palmer Tech today. Convincing that Palmer guy took forever." Oliver said as Felicity glanced at him as she set the basket on one of the chairs in the kitchen as she shook her head
"I have the investors coming today." She told him as he thought about it
"You never told me that." He said to her as Felicity glanced over to him as she took her purse
"I did. You just don't listen to women who won't sleep with you." She said as she walked over to the board that they bought a while ago that was filled with sticky notes "See it there on the board? I'll be home at 7:30." She told him as she was making her way to the door
"Come on, I can't. There is no place for kids in the board meeting." He said as he followed her to the door "Come on, work with me here." he said as Felicity was taking her sunglasses out of her bag to put them on
"Oliver it's on the board." Oliver sighed at her response
"You have any idea how big this is for QC?" he asked her as she looked at him "I took six months to convince him to take this deal and if I don't show up it will kill us." Felicity rolled her eyes at him and said
"Don't be dramatic." At that Oliver looked at her as she opened the door
"Don't you dear walk out that door!" He said as Felicity sighed
"Oliver I had this set up months ago. There are plenty of mommy and daddies who are in love with you. Call one of them." Felicity said as he walked out the door as Oliver looked at Sophie. He really hated that woman sometimes but she was right he could call somebody to take care of Sophie while he is not here so he grabbed the phone and started calling
"Hey, Beth. It's Oliver, from a…Yeah. Hey, I was wondering if maybe you guys could watch Sophie for a bit today. I got a huge break today I'm closing this deal today and…" he started but was cut off by the woman on the other line "Nope, Amy can't. She's got a big math test." He kept calling but got the same answer form everyone by the looks of it Sophie was going to come with him to QC.
Once his driver/bodyguard Diggle arrived and he was packed putting Sophie in to the car and they were on their way
"You couldn't find a babysitter could you?" Digg asked as Oliver sighed
"Nope." He said as Sophie started to fall asleep "And on top of that she kept crying last night and we couldn't calm her down…" Diggle cut his off
"You drove the whole night didn't you?" Oliver just closed his eyes
"I don't know how this is going to work." Oliver said as Digg shook his head
Once they arrived at QC Oliver took a seeping Sophie in his arms as Diggle picked up the baby bag making their way to the elevator as Diggle just smirked at him
"What are you gonna carry her like that for the whole meeting?" Diggle asked
"No. I'll leave her with Liza." At that Diggle looked at him one brow raised this was gonna be fun
As they arrived at the top floor Oliver asked Liza his EA to take care of Sophie while he closed the deal with Palmer and left the young girl alone with a one year old baby walking in to the conference room.
It has not been long after that Sophie started crying and Liza didn't know what to do. Oliver was about to get up as Digg stopped him
"I'll take care of the baby you keep this going." He said as he exited the conference room and took Sophie form Liza who was panicking and he walked
"She is yours?" Ray asked as he was looking over the paper
"Not biologically. But her parents died in a car accident a month ago and…" Ray nodded his head
"You don't know what to do." Ray said as Oliver nodded "I have a boy a little younger. It get's easier with time and practice." He said as he pulled out a pen singing his name "What's her name?" he asked as he passed over the paper to Oliver's lawyers
"Sophie." Ray smiled as he got up on his feet and Oliver followed him
"She is a beautiful girl. Just know that its always going to be tough but just being there she is going to love you for that." Oliver nodded
"Thanks that reassuring." Ray laughed a little at him
"They have been bombarding you with information's haven't they?" he asked as Oliver sighed and Ray smiled "Don't worry I thinks you'll be fine." At that he extended his hand to Oliver who took it and shook it
"Well at least I'm not doing it alone." He said
"That's a good thing. Anyway I will have to leave you Oliver and good luck." Ray said as he got in to the elevator that closed and Oliver sighed
"There you go little girl." Diggle said as he come with little Sophie in his arms "She just needed her dipper changed. She is clean." At that Oliver smiled taking Sophie away from Diggle
"Digg thanks." He said as Diggle nodded "Could you take us to the Queen mansion. I wanna see my mom and sister." Oliver said
"Sure thing let's go." He said and with a baby bag on his shoulder and Oliver with little Sophie in hands they made their way to the parking loath.
This was turning in to a interesting day.
