Prompt from mimozka : Oliver, Connor and their daughter are visiting Felicity at the office.
Title from Etta James 'At Last'
Gerry gave a brief knock on her office door.
"Mrs Queen, your 11 o'clock appointment is here."
Felicity raised her head, frowning. "What ? I don't have an 11..."
A smile stretched her face at the little boy that suddenly appeared behind Gerry.
"I'm your 'appotment', Felicity," he exclaimed excitedly with a toothless grin.
"Oh my God, of course, how could I forget?"
Connor giggled and ran to her, practically knocking her off of her feet as he jumped into her awaiting arms. With a laugh she let herself fall on the floor, the boy in her lap as she peppered his face with kisses.
"I'm so happy to see you. I missed you so much! How's your mom?"
"She's fine. She says hello."
Felicity held Connor tightly against her, delighted to have him back for a couple of weeks. He was usually staying in Central city with Sandra but often came to Starling to spend long weekends and holidays with Felicity and his dad.
"I went to the zoo with uncle Barry," Connor was telling her happily and she made the appropriate impressed face.
"Really ? You'll have to tell me all about it ! Tonight, before bedtime, just you and me, ok?"
Connor nodded enthusiastically before burying his face in her neck, mumbling a 'I missed you, F'lissity' that made her smile fondly. They had immediately took a shine to each other when he had appeared in their life one year ago, and even if he had a loving mom that Felicity had no intention to replace, she couldn't help but spoil him when he came to stay with them. Connor positively adored her and it was definitely mutual.
She pressed a loving kiss to the boy's head just as Oliver walked in, carrying Emeline, their 2 year old. He smiled at the view and unceremoniously dropped on the floor next to them, releasing Emmie who immediately climbed into her mom's lap.
"Mama!"
"Hey baby girl ! What a nice surprise. I really missed you too."
Connor laughed. "But you saw her this morning."
"I know. But it's been a few hours, and I missed her. And daddy too," she added with a wink to Oliver who responded her with a loving smile.
Connor's eyes widened. "Wow. You must have missed me a lot then."
"Every hour of every day," she replied, pressing a kiss to his nose. He scrunched his face in a funny grimace and both her and Oliver laughed before exchanging a tender smile.
"Thank you for the nice surprise," she told him and he leaned over to press a soft kiss on her lips.
"It's not entirely selfless. The kids and I were hoping that you could leave early and spend the afternoon with us."
"You mean playing hooky? Not the best example to set for our kids, Mr Queen," she said with a teasing glint in her eyes that told him that she actually didn't mind at all.
Connor laughed. "Come on Felicity, do it. I can talk to your boss for you if you want."
"Actually, she's the boss, buddy," Oliver mentioned with a pinch on Connor's cheek. And the pride on his own face was unmistakable. Staying at home with the kids and occasionally helping Thea with Verdant while allowing Felicity to finally blossom in a job she both loved and deserved was one of the best decision he had ever made.
"I'm pretty sure that I have a meeting this afternoon, but let me check."
They both stood up and Connor took Emmie's hand before pretending to chase her and they started running around the office, the little girl squealing happily. He hadn't known he had a sister until a year ago, but Connor was now making the best efforts to get her to smile and laugh as often as possible.
Felicity walked out. "Gerry, is there..."
"Already rescheduled. Your afternoon is free."
She smiled. "You're the best. Remind me to give you a raise."
The young EA smirked. "That would be the 3th one in 4 months."
"You're worth it."
She came back to her office. "I'm all yours," she told Oliver, who grinned mischievously and grabbed her waist, pulling her against him.
"Now that's what I like to hear."
She giggled, sounding a lot like her daughter, and wrapped her arms around his neck, plunging her eyes in his blue ones, forgetting for a moment about her EA on the other side of the glass wall – besides, he was kind of used to it – and the two kids goofing around in the background.
"So you missed me since this morning, huh?" he asked with a smug smile and she responded in kind.
"Didn't you?"
He seemed to be thinking about it and she gave a slight tap on the back of his head.
"Ok, ok, I did. Every minute of every hour," he added softly and she melted under his adoring azure eyes.
"So, You have plans for us?"
He smirked. "Oh, I do. They'll just have to wait until our little monsters are in bed," he said with a suggestive raise of his eyebrows.
She snorted. "I bet you do. And I'm extremely interested. But I didn't mean the R rated ones, more the kid friendly stuff."
"Well it's really cold outside and I'm pretty sure it's going to rain, so I was thinking home, pizza for lunch, boardgames and movies."
"Awesome idea, Mr Queen. You're such an incredible husband and dad," she told him between two kisses.
"I got a lot of inspiration from my wife, Mrs Queen," and answered with the same lovesick tone and she burst out laughing.
"Oh God, we are such cheeseballs."
"I know right? I didn't use to be like this. I blame you."
She scoffed. "Oh really? You'll pay for that later."
"Oooh, I really hope so."
"Oliver!" she whispered, "Not everything I tell you is a sexual innuendo."
He raised an eyebrow. "Since when?"
She pointed a finger at him but as he made a show of trying to bite it, she gave up, turning to her kids. She would deal with her lovable dorky husband later.
"Kids ! What about pizza for lunch?"
"Yes!" Connor exclaimed while doing a fist pump in a very Felicity manner, promptly imitated by his little sister.
Felicity held her hand to the boy and went to turned off her computer and take her bag. Oliver scooped Emmie and threw her into the air before catching her swiftly, eliciting an excited giggle from his baby girl.
Felicity turned to him. "Ready to go home, Mr Cheeseball?"
He grinned. "Right behind you, Miss Babble."
