"Mommy!" Connor shouted as he watched Felicity and Oliver step out of the car as they pulled into the private hangar next to their jet.
"Connor!" Felicity smiled as she saw him run to her. She bent down and wrapped her arms around him as he collided into her. "I missed you so much."
"I missed you too Mommy." Connor smiled up at her.
"And what about me?" Oliver teased.
Connor spun to see his dad, standing next to Thea and Donna, smiling down at him. "Dad! I missed you too."
"I missed ya, Buddy." Oliver knelt down on one knee and pulled Connor into his arms.
"You guys have fun last night?" Connor smiled sweetly at both of his parents.
"We did. Were you good for Thea and Bubbe?" Felicity giggled.
"Yes he was. He helped us clean up and get the house put back together." Donna smiled.
"Oh yeah. He was bossing us all around. Wanted the house to be in tip top shape before you guys get back." Thea laughed.
"Well it needs to be right, right Dad?"
"Right Buddy. Thanks for doing such a great job."
"So how much time do you have before you take off?" Thea asked.
Oliver looked down at his watch, saw that they would need to be loaded and ready to take off in the next 10 minutes if they wanted to stay on schedule. "We will have to load up in the next 5 minutes or so."
A somber gaze crossed over Connor and Felicity immediately wrapped around him and Oliver, wanting both of her boys close by. "Sweetie, we will call as soon as we land as well throughout the week to say goodnight each night. And the time will fly by. Before you know it, the week will be up and we will be right back here, only this time to stay. We love you so much. Okay?"
"Okay Mommy." Connor sniffled back a sob and wiped away a few loose tears.
"So Buddy be a good boy this week for everyone and we will go out for dinner when we get back."
"And ice cream?" Connor wondered hopefully.
"And ice cream! So be a good boy this week. Listen to everyone and be nice at school okay?" Oliver pulled Connor into his arms, hugging him one last time. He saw the tears rolling down Felicity's cheeks as well and knew she didn't want to leave the boy. But he knew they needed to, even just for a few days.
"We'll make sure they are all safe, Oliver." Diggle smiled at his friends. "Go and enjoy your time with your bride. Your family and life will be waiting for you when you get back."
Oliver placed Connor back down on the ground and moved towards his friend, embracing him like the brother he was. He whispered into his ear, "Keep the team safe. We never know when Damien may pop back up or what he may do. We still have two weeks but he may not wait."
"Everyone, and I mean everyone, will be safe. We will handle the Damien issue when you get back then get back to our normal lives. Well as close to normal as we can." Diggle joked.
With that, Oliver and Felicity said their goodbyes and boarded the plane. Felicity sat down near the window facing her family and buckled in. Oliver sat across from her, wanting to watch his family as well. "Is this a good idea right now?"
"Sweetheart, Dr. Carmichael said you were perfectly fine to fly."
"No I mean leaving Connor right now and QI and the team. What if something goes wrong or someone gets hurt? What if something happens to Connor?"
"Nothing will happen. Diggle and the team will cover everything. They are being safer now. We all are. It will be fine and like you said the week will fly by and before we know it we will be landing right back here." Oliver smiled as he reached out and grasped her hands in his, his thumb running over her wedding bands and engagement ring.
"You're right. I just have a weird feeling but it is probably just nerves."
"Mr. Queen, we are all ready for take off. You two all settled in?"
"Yes Lucy, thank you." Oliver smiled up at the woman and watched as she turned back to the cabin, moving towards the cockpit, settling herself in for the long flight.
"Um Lucy? Where are we heading?"
Lucy stopped and turned back to the two flight occupants. "I have been instructed not to tell you quite yet, Miss Smoak. I apologize."
Felicity glared at Oliver as he snickered in the seat across from her. She kicked him in the shin as she smiled up at the co-pilot/flight attendant. "Okay. Thanks Lucy." Felicity sweetly smiled. As soon as the woman was out of earshot, Felicity snapped at Oliver. "You told them not to say as well?"
"Just a few hours. In about 6 hours we will be in New York and will be fueling up for the last leg of our trip. Once we land there, we will have an hour and a half drive to our final location where we will be lodging for the next week. So sit back and relax. Soon we will be up in the air and we will be able to move around and use electronic devices so we can go stretch out on the bed in the back and watch Netflix on your tablet." They felt the plane start to taxi down the runway and looked out their windows to see a black sedan that their family had arrived in pull away.
"Well then I think I'll just wait to do that until later. I am going to take a nap for now. Wake me when we get to New York?"
"Are you sure you want to sleep in these chairs?"
"Yeah. They're comfy and perfect. For now." Felicity grinned as she closed her eyes and slipped into a peaceful slumber.

"We should be landing in New York in 10 minutes Mr. Queen, would you like to wake your friend and inform her?" Felicity heard a gentle voice asked as she slowly became aware of her surroundings. She had been asleep for several hours, exhausted from not only her pregnancy but their wedding night.
"It's okay Lucy. Let her sleep. We won't be on the ground long anyway." Oliver answered.
"Is there anything I can get for you?"
"I'm fine. Thank you."
"Well you know where to find me if you need anything. And I do mean anything." With a sensual wink, Lucy moved back towards the cockpit.
"Wow! Even on a flight to our honeymoon, you still get hit on by women." Felicity groaned as she finally woke up completely. "And sitting across from your pregnant wife, no less. She has guts."
"But I don't care. The only woman I want flirting with me is my beautiful, genius, remarkable, sexy as hell wife." Oliver grinned as he leaned forward and kissed her. "How did you sleep?" He asked as he pulled back after the kiss.
"Like the dead. I didn't realize I was that sleepy. I'm sorry."
"For what, Sweetheart?"
"Well for sleeping the last like 6 hours and leaving you to entertain yourself."
"It's okay. I had plenty to do. Had to figure out all the fun things we are going to do this week. Plus I checked on a few things for QI with your database and emailed Walter to set a for appointments for when we get back. I had a thought about those solar powered roadways you talked about a few months back. Then I checked in on the team and made sure they were all okay."
"I thought we said no work this week. That it would be about us."
"And it will be. By doing all this now, those things are off my mind and I can focus on showing my gorgeous wife an incredible time."
"Okay fine I give."
"Oh and I also checked in with Max about the article. It is perfect. So sweet and filled with only the details we would want someone outside the family to know. Actually there was some stuff he excluded that I would have figured would have made it in. And Stephanie will have the photos to us within an hour. She sent me a couple already and they look amazing." Oliver smiled as he looked at Felicity and reached for her hands, needing to feel her there to make sure this was all real.
"Wow! You've been busy. Maybe I should sleep and relax more often. Seems to make you want to work." Felicity giggled as she teased him.
"Mr. Queen, we are making our final approach. Please be in your seats and buckled up." The pilot called over the loudspeaker in the plane.
"Okay. So we are going to touch down. They will fuel back up as needed then we will be on our way. While we are on the ground, I will have dinner served. I'm sure you and the baby are hungry."
"Definitely."
"Okay. Then once we are back in the air and we can move, I say we go lay down on the bed in the back and watch some tv. The second part of the flight will take roughly 6 hours so we can watch tv, sleep, talk. Whatever you want to do."
"Sounds great." Felicity grinned as she thought about putting her plans in motion at that time.
They watched as the plane made its final descent into the private plane air strip of JFK, seeing the memorable skyline grow as they sunk towards the ground.

"You are both free to move around now. We will be in the air for another 5 hours before making our final approach."
"Thanks again Lucy."
"Anything you need, just ask Mr. Queen. Miss Smoak."
Felicity smiled up at her and corrected. "Mrs. Queen." She held up her hand so the curvy, voluptuous blonde could see the rings on it.
Lucy's jaw hung open as she studied the rings. She tried to compose herself. "Oh! I'm sorry. My mistake, Mrs. Queen." She smiled then and moved to the cockpit again.
Oliver watched the scene and chuckled under his breath. He stood up and stretched as he heard the cockpit door shut. "Marking your territory?"
"Nope. Just clearing up a mistake she made. She used the wrong name. Now if you want me to make my territory, that can be arranged." Felicity giggled as she stood and wrapped around Oliver, threading her fingers through the short hairs on the back of his neck. She saw the heat and desire in his eyes grow at the idea. "I am going to go get comfy in the bed now. Sitting up has been great but I have wanted to try out that bed since the last time I was in this plane. But Thea was in it. Joining me?"
"Sure. I'll get us some snacks to go along with Netflix. Ice cream?"
"You have ice cream on here for us?"
"And popcorn. Prepopped. Can't do wine but I figured two outta three was a win." Oliver snickered.
"That is it Mr. Queen."
"So I will meet you in the bed in a couple minutes, wife. Need to get everything together."
"I'll be ready." Felicity giggled as she hopped towards the back of the plane. Felicity stepped into the small room and closed the door. She looked at the bed and determined it would be just big enough for what she had planned. She stripped out of her jacket and dress quickly, cramming them into a nearby cabinet since there was nowhere else for them. She slipped her jewelry, except her wedding rings, scarf and boots off and placed them in the same cabinet. Then she climbed onto the bed and laid on her back and waited. She couldn't stop giggling, so excited to see Oliver's face when he opened the door. She didn't have to wait long.
Just moments after climbing onto the bed and into position, Felicity heard the lock on the door release. When it slid open she saw Oliver standing near the foot of the bed in the doorway holding her tablet as well as a bag of popcorn and two pints of ice cream as well as two spoons. He looked up at her and lost all thought. He jaw hung open and his eyes were suddenly the size of saucers. "Felicity?"
"What? See something you like? I said I was going to get comfy." Felicity teased.
Oliver studied the satin and lace garments on her body and finally pieced together that she had been wearing them under her dress all day. He saw the little bit of black lace that had been tempting him from between her breasts since he stepped out of the bathroom that morning. Oliver pushed the food and tablet out of his arms and onto a nearby counter, his attention drawn to Felicity now. "God yes. I love it. You've been wearing this all day?"
"Yeah. Needed something to wear under my dress."
"And I let you sleep for hours without even knowing. What a shame."
"Well you'll just have to enjoy it now. We do have several more hours in the air. And I have never joined the mile high club. Although I have a feeling you have. Not that I am judging or anything. You just seem to have done a lot with others that I haven't. Plus sex on a commercial planes is illegal. Not that I don't break laws every night all the time. I also never flew with anyone i wanted to do that with. I mean I have only been on 3 flights in my life before we met and 1 was with my mom. The other two I was alone flying to college or with a girlfriend who talked me into spending my spring break in Cabo one year. Something I never really wanted to do. I mean so men guys drunk hitting on me and getting handsy. It felt like a huge orgy. And I am going to stop talking now."
Oliver chuckled as he climbed up on the bed and positioned himself above her. "Yes I have had a lot of experiences but never here. I was always flying with my family so never joined the mile high club. The one time I flew with just Tommy, we were having a guys weekend so no girls were on the plane. So you are my first up here. My first and my last."
Felicity smiled as she realized he would be the last man she ever shared herself with. "Wouldn't want anyone else. Kinda hard to follow all these." She waved her hands, indicating his entire body.
"Well good thing I am all yours then." Oliver grinned mischievously as he dropped his lips to her neck and started sucking and nipping at the skin he found there. A soft moan and her hands trailing over his back spurred him to venture to the lace that had teased him for the last few hours, forgetting all about their previous plans and the ice cream melting on the counter.

A knock pulled him from his sleep. "Mr. Queen?" A soft whisper called from the other side of the door. Oliver turned his head to find Felicity wrapped around him, her head buried into his chest, her arms tangled around his waist and her long naked legs wrapped up in his. She nuzzled deeper into his chest when he shifted, unconsciously demanding he stay right where he was. "We will be making our final approach to Dublin airport in 30 minutes. We need you and Mrs. Queen to take you seats sir."
"Okay. We'll be right out, Lucy." Oliver whispered in return, hoping she heard him and that he didn't wake Felicity too much. He heard a set of footsteps as they moved away from the doorway. He turned his attention back to the small blonde who was trying to absorb his warmth again. She had the sheets draped over her luscious body so that he could see the hills and valleys of every curve. He pushed her blonde hair out of her face and a warm smile crossed his face. "Felicity? Sweetheart?" A soft grunt was what he got in response. "Baby, you need to wake up. We need to get dressed. We are almost there."
"There?" Felicity asked groggy from her sleep. They had a very heated and passionate round of lovemaking before passing out hours prior.
"There. I guess I can tell you now. We are almost to Ireland. We will be spending the next week near Oldcastle, Ireland at the Ross Castle."
"Ross Castle?! Oliver, you're taking me to a castle in Ireland?"
"Like it?" a bit of worry leaked out as he asked.
"Like it? I love it. I have always wanted to stay there. It is one of the oldest castles still standing. And Ireland is so beautiful this time of year. All the fall colors and all. I love it." Felicity started covering his lips with short sweet kisses. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
"Good. Now let's get up and get dressed. We will be landing in about 20 minutes then we have a 90 minute ride to the castle. We should be there in roughly two hours or so." Oliver grinned as he moved off the bed and started to dress again.
"Okay. Any idea where my panties went to?" Felicity asked as she scanned over the room.
Oliver found them on the floor next to him as he stepped into his pants. He lifted them up into the air, hanging them from his index finger. "You mean these?" Felicity giggled and reached out for them only to have Olver pull them back. "Oh no. I am keeping these." Oliver slipped the panties into his front pocket as he pulled the jeans up to his waist and secured them shut.
"And what am I supposed to wear?"
Oliver's mouth curled into a sensual and dirty smirk. He leaned towards her so that he hovered over her, all her senses beginning to be eclipsed by him entirely. "What makes you think you are going to be wearing anything? This is for teasing and tempting me with the dress and bra all day."
"Oliver be serious."
"Oh trust me. I am very serious. Now get up and get dressed. We need to get back to our seats and prepare for landing, wife."
"Oliver Queen, you are evil."
"No evil would be taking the bra as well." Oliver teased as his voice dropped into a deep erotic growl. Then he stood up and pulled his shirt on. He laughed as he moved out of the room, shoes in hand, as he heard a sharp gasp leave Felicity's lips.

"Good morning and welcome to Ross Castle. Checking in?" A bright older woman smiled at them.
"Yes. Sorry about being late. Our flight was later than we thought it would be."
"That's fine deary. Name?"
"Queen. Oliver Queen."
"Ah yes. Our newlyweds. Well congratulations and best wishes. I'm your host, Jackie Moeran. I have your room all ready for the week. I also have all of the activities set up that we discussed. Now it is a bit late for breakfast but if you're hungry I can fix you a couple hang sandwiches."
"Hang?" Felicity wondered.
"I think you Americans call them ham sandwich."
"Oh that would be great. I am starving. Eating for two makes me always hungry now." Felicity giggled.
"I will have a couple plates sent up to your room. Now you will be in our master bedroom. It has your private bathroom and a private terrace. We offer breakfast each morn til 9 and dinner each night starting a 6 and going til 8. If you need a lift to town at any point, just ask my son Danny. He'll be the one toting your bags up for ya."
"Thank you so much."
"Our pleasure deary. Now you two run along and enjoy yourselves. If ya need for anything, just ask." Jackie smiled at them. She was a lovely woman who looked to be in her early 50's. She had soft blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. There were a few wrinkles on her face but she looked like a loving mother. "Danny, would ya take Mr. and Mrs. Queen's things up to their room for them?"
"Sure Mum." A young vibrant voice called behind them. A young man, who looked to be in his mid twenties, stepped forward. His hair was a lot darker blonde than his mother's and he had a small bit of scruff growing on his face but he had the same bright blue eyes as his mother. "Follow me folks."
"It'll be a few before your plates are ready so get settled in okay?"
"Thank you again, Mrs. Moeran." Oliver smiled.
"Oh please, call me Jackie. Everyone does." Her thick Irish accent and her smile made the couple feel right at home.
Oliver and Felicity followed the young man up the stairs to their room. "So just married? We have weddings here all the time but never this late in the year. Although they say it's good luck to marry as the seasons change. Shows what's been and what's to come. Of course I don't believe in all that stuff. But my mum does." The young man shrugged. "Anyway, congratulations and all. Here is your room. I hope you enjoy your stay." Danny smiled as he opened a door that lead in a large master bedroom with an antique double bed and furniture lining the walls. There were old tapestries and paintings on the walls as well. The room was stunning. He waited for the couple to step into the room then placed their bags by a nearby bench and went to leave. "I'm sure my mum will send me back in a bit with your plates so get comfy. Is there anything you need before I leave?"
"Oh. An outlet. We need to charge our phones and call home to let our family know we made it." Felicity smiled.
"Well the outlet is there. Did you bring the converter plugs?" Danny pointed low on a wall with a nearby table next to a small outlet.
"Yes. Packed them away in the bags. We can charge our phones up and call. Thanks, Danny." Oliver grinned.
"No problem, Mr. Queen."
"Oliver, please." Oliver stuck his hand out for the boy to shake.
"And I'm Felicity. Thank you so much for all your help."
"My pleasure. I'll be back in a bit with your sandwiches and something to drink." And with that, Danny closed the door and left.
"So whatya think?" Oliver asked as he watched Felicity survey the room.
"Oliver it's breathtaking. I love it." Felicity giggled as she ran into his arms and hugged him. His lips fell to hers and she welcomed the kiss as she always would. When their lips parted, their foreheads stay close to one another, enjoying the intimacy of the moment. "We should call my mother and Diggle and let them know we made it. Mom can tell Connor when he wakes up since it is about 2 am their time."
"Okay. Let me get the chargers and all." Oliver chuckled as he moved to their bags and started setting everything up. Felicity began unpacking their clothes and after a few minutes they were all set to enjoy the week in Ireland.
