Hi y'all! So I posted the last chapter right before I went to bed last night and when I woke up this morning I had 6 comments! And over 200 people had viewed it! I was literally jumping up and down! Thank you SO MUCH! I was so happy I immediately started writing the next chapter!

So this next chapter is dedicated to everyone who commented, followed, favoriteded(is that a word?) or even just read it and liked it. I love you guys! I'll get working on chapter 3 soon=)

Felicity was currently washing Hope's blonde hair, she had sent out a text to Dig, asking him if he could swing by a kid's toothbrush. Ding Dong, the doorbell went off; Felicity got up off the bathroom floor "I'll be right back okay?" "Okay" said Hope distractedly, Felicity wiped her soapy hands on her jeans and answered the door.

Earlier that day

Felicity awoke to her phone going off; she scrambled through her purse until she found it. "Hello?" "Hello is this Felicity Smoak?" "This is she" Felicity said getting up from the floor "Good Morning Miss Smoak, My names Jordan, I'm calling regarding the child you found… Hope Bernant?" Felicity gasped when she heard the last name.

Flashback!

Felicity sat at the big oak table, the people who were going to adopt her baby were sitting directly across from her, and the lawyer was passing the papers back and forth. Felicity looked down at her large swollen belly; she put her hand on her stomach and signed the papers that stated that her baby now belonged to them, the Bernant's.

"Miss Smoak?" Felicity was pulled back to reality "Sorry, yes I'm here" "Given that a lost child's parents cannot be located, we look at other relatives and such and give them temporary custody until the parents are found. And strangely it turns out that you were to be Hope's legal guardian, in the unlikely event that the Bernant's should both perish" "I-I-Really?" "Yes… I know this is a lot to take in all at once.." "Why me?" Felicity whispered to herself "What was that?" the woman on the other end of the phone asked, "Why am I Hope's next legal guardian?" "Oh let me see…" Felicity heard typing noises in the background "Well isn't that something, you're her biological mother… Though you should have known that…" the woman on the other end kept talking but Felicity couldn't hear anything over the sound of her own heartbeat.

"I-um I'll be there soon" Felicity said to the woman over the phone, "Alright Miss Smoak we will see you then" Felicity hung up the phone, she barely could breathe. Her baby, her baby was coming back to her, four years she spent in regret, four years in agony, because she gave away the one and only person who ever cared for her. And now she has a chance to get that person back, a chance to right her wrong, a chance to feel love.

"And sign here and once more here" After Felicity filled out all the paperwork, she took a seat waiting for them to bring Hope out.

Flashback!

Felicity walked over to the little nursery room where they keep all of the babies, she peered in the window watching them all sleep, a nurse came out "Which ones yours?" she said in a sweet tone. Felicity looked at the babies, she pointed to a baby wrapped in a pink blanket, in the corner, "Oh she's a sweetheart, a little fussy though" and as if the baby heard her, she started to fuss "Why don't you come in and hold her, it might calm her down" Felicity was hesitant, but followed the nurse into the room. The nurse had her sit down and handed Felicity her daughter, once she was in her arms, Hope looked up at Felicity with her big blue eyes, and Felicity knew right then she had made a mistake. The nurse kept smiling at them, but Felicity could feel nothing except pain and sorrow, Felicity felt a tear roll down her cheek. She handed her-the baby back to the nurse, "I have to go" and she walked out, tears streaming all the while.

Felicity heard footsteps approaching, she looked up from staring at her lap, Hope was running for her, Felicity kneeled down just in time to be engulfed in a hug, when Felicity tried to let go so she could take her home, Hope only held on tighter. Deciding she was ok with still being hung onto, Felicity picked up the toddler, the social worker that had come with Hope handed her a coat.

"Hope, do you want to come to live with me for a while?" Felicity whispered in the toddler's ear, Hope's head, that was buried in Felicity's neck, popped up, her face covered with a giant smile. "Yes!" Felicity smiled, she looked at the social worker "Are we free to go?" the man nodded, and Felicity walked out carrying her daughter.

First thing was first; they had to stop at the store for supplies. They got a car seat, a sleeper and a couple outfits, all she would need until they could find time to really go shopping. Oh, she had would have to get her a bed, but it wasn't going to fit in her little one bedroom apartment, which means she's going to have to move. What if she moves and then they find Hopes parents? Are they really dead? Is her daughter really hers again? She's going to have to do some hacking. With all the thoughts of the future running through her head, she almost missed Hope singing.

After all that had happened the last couple days, the last couple weeks even, hearing her child sing was like a fate telling her things were going to be alright.

Dig sat on her couch completely confused; Felicity had told him what happened after she had put Hope to bed. "So you find a kid on the street, and it turns out your next in line to be her legal guardian, if both her parents are really dead?" Dig asked trying to clarify; when Felicity had explained, it was more of a ramble than a proper explanation "Yea... that pretty much covers it" "But why would it be you? Do you even know the kid? Or the parents?" Felicity sucked in a breath "Yea, I… I'm Hope's biological mother"

Okay so now Dig knows.. He doesn't really know the past behind it.. but he knows...

Also, don't you just love how the background people never get names? Sometimes they barely even talk.. Like the social worker, I don't think he's said a word lol nor does he have a name... I'll call him Bill.

Anyway if Bill or any social worker's, police officers, just any officals do anything wrong according to normal law procedure please tell me. I'm not always accurate, but I try, I only have so much brain power and wracking it to rephrase questions for googling law procedure... Doesn't work well..

Next chapter...Maybe well see Oliver?
