Thanks to all of your amazing reviews, you have really put a bounce in my step :) I have a few ideas on what's going to happen in the next couple of chapters now so thank you for your suggestions!

More up hopefully at the weekend X

Chapter 25

Felicity had ended up having to stay in the hospital overnight, she had started to be sick and the Doctor said it was a sign of concussion and to be on the safe side she would stay for observation. Oliver had tried not to freak out at that. His father had had to stay in for observation after his heart attack and then he had passed away in the night. Though deep down he knew the two things were completely different and Felicity would be okay, he was still scared to leave her side. Felicity had convinced him that she would be okay and he had gone to her apartment. His insides had ran cold when he saw the broken door that was still taped over saying it was a crime scene. Detective Lance had allowed him to go in and to collect some of Felicity's things, she would be staying with him and he wanted her to feel comfortable.

Felicity's apartment was small and cosy and Oliver thought about how if they were a normal couple he could easily see himself hanging out here, but they weren't a normal couple so there was really no point in thinking about anything like that. He headed to the bedroom and was relieved to see that there wasn't much damage in there, he grabbed a bag and started to put Felicity's clothes in. He would bring Felicity back over when she was feeling up to it to collect some more of her things, but for now he put the photo's of what looked to be a young Felicity and her Mom in the bag and some things she had cared about enough to stick on her wall. As Oliver walked into the kitchen he saw that this was where the most mess had been made, cupboards had been pulled open and tins and cans were thrown all over the floor. Oliver sighed softly, he knew he shouldn't pick them up, the police were probably still investigating, but he hated seeing her place in such a state. He walked towards the fridge where there were more things stuck to it, and he felt a blush rise on his cheeks when he saw that there was a napkin from the restaurant they had been to together with Thea. Felicity cared enough about their relationship to put that on the fridge. He grinned before heading to the living room, which was also in a bad state. He sighed and grabbed a few more things before heading out of the apartment and back home.

Oliver knew Felicity would need a lot of rest so once he was back home, he started work. He grabbed some fluffy blankets and pillows and set them on the sofa, he found all of the films Felicity might want to watch and put them on the floor near the television and sighed. Tomorrow he would get some food and snacks for them both and then he would bring his girl home and show her just how much he cared for her.

"Mom, I promise you I'm okay." Felicity sighed as she held the phone to her ear. It was early and she had phoned her Mom last night and left a message, knowing her mother would be at work. She didn't need her Mom to be worrying about her, she knew that it would only drive her crazy. "It's just a slight concussion…"

"You're in hospital." Donna said back. "Anything could have happened to you…"

"But it didn't. And I promise you I'm going to be okay." Felicity said gently.

"I'm going to book a flight…"

"Mom, please you don't need to do that. You're saving up to come down for Christmas…" Felicity argued. There was a slight tap at the door and Felicity looked up to see Oliver standing there, she smiled gesturing for him to come in and when he saw that she was on the phone he went to walk back out but she shook her head and patted the bed. "Mom, I promise you, you really don't need to book a flight…"

"Where are you staying? If you even think about staying in that apartment...I told you it was in a dangerous area."

"I'm not. I'm staying with Oliver," Felicity said and reached out and took his hand. She just needed to feel close to him.

"Your boss?" She asked, her voice loud enough for Oliver to hear.

"Yes, but he's more than that…" Felicity blushed and Oliver moved closer so she could wrap her arms around him.

"Well as long as he looks after you Felicity." Donna sighed.

"He does Mom." Felicity said chewing on her lip. "I promise you I'm okay, don't spend the money to come down now, save up for our Christmas trip okay?"

"Okay… I love you."

"I love you too Mom. I'll call you later." Felicity ended the call and cuddled into Oliver's arms a little tighter. "I missed you."

"I missed you too. How are you feeling?"

"Like I want to go home. Not home home...But to your home…" Felicity whispered and looked up at him.

"That's exactly where we are going." Oliver promised, he held out the small teddy bear he had been holding that had a little pink heart in his arms. "It was all they had in the gift store."

"You brought me a teddy?" Felicity grinned and took it from his hands and cuddled it to her chest. Oliver didn't think it possible to actually be jealous of a teddy bear. But he was.

"I did." Oliver smiled. "How are you?"

"I'm okay." Felicity said softly. "My head it still hurts a little and I just feel like sleeping. But I'm okay." She nodded.

"Well I've spoken to the doctor and they have prescribed you some painkillers for the headache and lots of rest." Oliver smiled. "I went to your place and got some of your things, when you're feeling up to it we can get some more."

"Thank you." Felicity whispered.

"Just so you know I'm not expecting anything from you for the time being." Oliver said softly and pulled her onto his lap. "You're still my girl, you're still my sub but right now you are in pain and need taking care of. And that's what I'm going to do." Oliver tilted Felicity's chin up and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. "Come on you, let's get you home."

"Home." Felicity smiled, she liked the sound of that.
