"Good morning, Mrs. Queen. May I take that for you?" Duncan smiled as he stood up from behind his desk and reached for her bags and coats. Felicity was dressed in a pair of dark brown slacks, a rusty brown turtleneck, and a caramel colored wrap sweater. She had completed the look with a pair of brown flats and a brown and white silk scarf. Her hair was down and her glasses on her face. She had her purse tote resting in the crook of her elbow and her tech briefcase in one hand along with a travel mug filled with juice in the other. She was determined to stay looking professional, no matter what size she was.

"Thank you Duncan. And please call me Felicity." She smiled at him. She handed him her briefcase before following him into her office. He must have shown up early because he already had the small space heater on in her office and it was nice and toasty in there. He placed her briefcase down and started to remove the tech found inside it like he had done the week prior, setting it up on her desk.

"Well you seem to be in good hands here. If you need me, I'll be right next door." Oliver smiled at her then leaned in and kissed her, his hands staying low on her, one on her back and the other on her belly. He pulled back and grinned at her again before bending lower in front of her. "You two be good for Mommy today. Remember take it easy and..."

"Delegate! I know. I know. I heard you the first hundred times. I love you."

"Love you too." Oliver pecked her before moving towards the door that joined their two offices.

"Remember meeting at..." Felicity called after him.

Oliver stopped in the doorway and turned to face her again. "11. I know. Don't forget to nap and eat. You have two growing babies to help grow bigger so you need rest and food." Oliver smiled then blew her a kiss and moved into his office to start his work day.

Felicity grinned as she watched him move towards his desk, shedding his jacket as Adira moved into the room and started reading the run down of his schedule to him. She watched how his muscles flexed when he started to roll up his sleeves. God that man could make anything look sinfully sexy. Felicity thought as she drooled over him.

A snort made her turn quickly. She found her two assistants standing there smirking at her. Duncan tried to hid it but not Jerry. "Please tell me that stayed upstairs." She plead.

"Not at all but I have to agree. You are so lucky. I mean I have seen men in tailored suits but none of them ever filled them the way your husband does. Talk about a walking, talking, breathing Greek god." Jerry teased.

Felicity huffed as she blushed. She turned back to look at Oliver and caught his eyes through the glass. He waved at her the shooed her to work silently. "Okay. So what is on the agenda today?"

"Besides drooling over that?" Jerry snickered as he tilted his head and examined Oliver again. Felicity glared at him and rolled her eyes as she shook her head. Jerry was a character but could always make her smile. "Well you have a staff meeting in 30, the board meeting at 11, lunch with Mr. Queen and Mr. Steele at 12:30, then a few project presentations after lunch and then you are out of here at 2:30 for your appointment. After that you come back for one last round of check ins. You should be out of here around 6 tonight."

"Sounds good. Okay so let's head down to the lab for the meeting. I want to get down there and meet a few of the new members before we get started. Where's Victoria?"

"She phoned and said she is already on the floor." Duncan smiled up at her. He gathered up her drink and her tablet as well as the files she needed for the meeting. He followed as Jerry and Felicity moved out of the room and towards the newly finished Applied Sciences building. The dedication was set for later this week with a simple press conference and luncheon.

"Good morning everyone. I would like to call this meeting to order. Now I know that things were done a certain way before when we were Palmer Tech but things are different. This is a new company, a different one from what has been here in the past and so we will be doing things differently around here. Wow I said different way too much in that speech." Felicity giggled. When she noticed the uneasiness over the small crowd before her, she knew they were intimidated by her new name. "Okay well first off, my new last name may be on the outside of the building and I may own 30% of the company but I am just like you guys. I come to work and work hard. I want this company to be a success. So don't worry about hurting my feelings or stepping on my toes. I want us to have an open door policy. If something is bothering you, then it is bothering me too. I want you all to feel free to reach out to either myself, Victoria, Jerry or Duncan here. We are here to help you succeed in your projects and we will do all we can to make that happen. Also none of that Mrs. Queen stuff either. I'm Felicity. I started in the IT department here when it was Queen Consolidated and I have known several of you for years. Others I look forward to getting to know you. So relax. This is going to be a fun division to work for. In fact I want us to get to know each other better so we are going to play a game. I have..." Felicity dug around in her bag to find her candy she always carried with her. This time it was a small bag of miniature milky ways. "I have this bag of milky ways for the best story of the most awkward moment you have had here. We all have had them. Trust me, I have had my fair share. I mean I once commented on how nice Moira Queen looked and asked what she did differently. She told me that she showered without a bunch of women watching her because she had just been released from prison. And I said this in front of my boss at the time, her son and my husband now as you all know. So come on, embarrassing stories. Who has one better than that?" Felicity smiled as she sat down at the head of the table and started to look at the group. They spent the next hour laughing over embarrassing stories and moments at QC, Palmer Tech and QI. In the end, a young researcher name Barbara got the prize for her story about spilling what she thought was a hazardous material on the floor but turned out to be her coffee. She had been quite sleep deprived at the time and mixed up the beaker she working out of and the one she had used that night for coffee since there were no clean mugs in the breakroom. Needless to say, the scare had caused an evacuation of several floors and quite a stir in the building that day.

"Okay so lesson for today, always have clean mugs in the breakroom." Felicity laughed as the rest of her laughed along with her. "So we will be doing these meetings I would say every few weeks. I want us to really be getting to know everyone and working alongside each other. I want to do them once a month right now. And we could always turn them into a potluck party kind of thing if you want. Talk it over and let me know. Throughout this week, I will be meeting with each of you in smaller groups to discuss the projects you are currently working on. Now if I feel that the project is not a good use of our resources at this time, I will be reassigning you to a new project. Trust me when I say I would like to keep all of you just as is but we need to be smart on what projects we are focusing on. With all that has happened to the company over the last few years, we are dancing a very dangerous tango with bankruptcy or corporate takeover so we need to start creating products that will benefit our bottom dollars and quickly. For now, keep working as you are and get your presentations ready for me as well. If you have any questions or concerns, I will be up in my office. I know it is a bit silly to be all the way upstairs but I am just a phone call or email away. I will always answer or have Jerry or Duncan answer so you can get assistance as quickly as possible."

Felicity scanned over the crowd and saw the soft warm smiles of her colleagues. She wanted them to know she was her for them. "You can also reach out to Victoria. She will be in her office her from now on. Any questions?" Felicity looked at each person and felt content when no one spoke up. Then Barbara held her hand up a bit. "Yes Barbara. "

"Well I was just wondering. You are pregnant so what is going to happen in a few months?"

"I am pregnant. With twins in fact so I have to take it a bit easier than I normally would. Hence Jerry and Duncan. They will be helping me in any way I need. Victoria will still be here but in her position as VP of Applied Sciences. When I leave for maternity leave in a few months, we may have her step into my shoes and hire a temporary VP to fill her position until I return to work. Not quite sure but I promise to inform all of you in plenty of time so that you will not be surprised by anything."

"Okay. And congratulations. Do mind if I ask what are you having?"

Felicity grinned proudly as she looked down at her belly. "Of course not. A boy and a girl. Now I will do all I can to make sure my pregnancy doesn't cause any problems for us here but you will need to be patient. Some things can not be helped. Oh! And I will tell you right now, I don't like people touching me so please don't ask. It's just... weird." The group laughed at how she stuttered and her expression. "Well if that's all, I am sure you all have work to be doing and if not please come see me, something is wrong." Felicity sweetly giggled as she watched everyone start to stand and gather up their things then move out of the room.

"So twins? Wow!" Victoria stepped up to her as Felicity began to gather her things and hand the off to Duncan.

"Yep. We found out about a month ago and found out two weeks ago about the sexes. Oliver surprised me with the finished nursery this morning. It looks amazing."

Victoria was a stunning redhead that had amazed Felicity with her skills and drive during the interview process months ago. Over the last few months, the two women had become close. Victoria was in her late 20's and easily could turn heads with her rich brown eyes and slim figure. She did dress professional when at work and was usually found in a pants suit set. Her color palette stayed closed to natural tones that played well with her natural beauty. Felicity had been struck with just how gorgeous the women was on several occasions. She was a force as well, standing strong and going rounds with a couple of the board members in her time as VP and acting Head of Applied Sciences. Felicity was impressed with the woman's fire.

"Well that is good. At least you won't be completely out numbered. So a little prince and princess on the way. How is Connor handling that?"

Felicity and Victoria made their way towards the elevator, Jerry and Duncan right on their heels. "Great. He is so ready to be a big brother. And excited."

"And Oliver?"

"He is incredible. Always remembering to keep me stocked up on my craving foods and sending one of the assistants out for food for me. Nagging me about my napping schedule. And he wakes up with me most nights when I get up countless times in the night to pee. He makes sure I am okay then helps me settle back in and drift off. I seriously couldn't do this without him."

"Good. Well I have a few things on my list for today. I will see you after lunch for the presentations." Victoria smiled and waved as she walked away. Felicity climbed on the elevator and started back up to her office, feeling good about her team and how they saw her and how she would be running the division now.

"Mr. Marks, always good to see you." Felicity smiled as she ventured into the conference room near her office. The board was beginning to gather for the meeting and she was looking forward to seeing some familiar faces again.

"Miss Smoak. I mean Mrs. Queen. Congratulations again on your nuptials. And the little one to come." The older man grinned as he stood and shook her hand.

"Two actually." Oliver chuckled. He walked up behind her and pecked her cheek then held out a chair for her to take. She eased down into it and started to arrange her papers for the meeting.

"Two? Twins?"

"Yep. Was a surprise to us as well. We found out when we got back from our honeymoon a month ago." Felicity beamed up at the older gentleman.

"Did I hear you're having twins?" Mr. Foster walked up to them. Felicity made a move to stand up when he held his hand out. "No please Mrs. Queen. Stay seated. If I learned one thing from my wife and sister it is to never make a pregnant woman move too much." Oliver snickered as he shook the man's hand then Mr. Foster turned his attention back to Felicity. "So twins really?"

"Yep. A girl and a boy. Kind of took us by surprise."

"Well congratulations. I'm sure these two are blessings to the family."

"Always." Oliver beamed with fatherly pride. "Can't wait to meet them."

"How far along?"

"Just around 20 weeks. We have a check up today in fact."

"Those are always fun. Getting the ultrasound was amazing to me when we had our daughter. But nothing compares to the first time you hold them. In that one moment, your world just stops. Congratulations both of you. I'll have to get you a gift."

"Oh there's no need. We have everything we can think of." Felicity blushed. She didn't want to seem as if it was required to give her a gift just because the men and women she now surrounded herself with were on the board of her company.

"Nonsense. It's the least we can do for you. I promise nothing big. Just something from the board to say congratulations." Mr. Foster smiled at her.

She had been taken with how welcoming the board was to her now. Before they seemed to question her abilities with every decision and turn. Now that she has shown her dedication to the company by working partially for it for months, updating their systems and security procedures as well as dealing with the clean up and remodeling of the executive floors, they could finally see her devotion to the company.

"Well I think it is time to call this meeting to order. I am sure we all have other things to be doing." Mr. Marks and Mr. Foster smiled at Felicity as they took their seats and looked at Oliver as he called the meeting to order. "Now as you all know, this will be my first full week back to the company, along with Felicity's as well. I am still shadowing Walter for the time being but Felicity is already deep into the role of Head of Applied Sciences. In fact she just came from a team meeting with her entire group a little bit ago. So we are ready to work now. We have the dedication on the new Applied Sciences building set for Friday. It is a simple press conference and luncheon that Rebecca is organizing. I will be giving the speech in dedication of all that has been done. I know that we are all a bit unsure of naming the building after my father again so I think Felicity came up with an excellent plan for that. The building will be known as Alan Hall, after my father of sorts. It was his middle name and also my grandfather's name. Both men were pioneers of the day so I feel it is a great way to honor both of them."

"Motion to name the new building Alan Hall. Motion seconded?" Mr. Marks spoke up, seeing how passionate their CEO was able to plan.

"Aye." Mrs. Burns smiled.

"Motion seconded. All in favor?" The room rang out in approval and support. "It is unanimous. The newly completed Applied Sciences building will be named Alan Hall."

"Thank you." Oliver pleasantly grinned. "Now on to other matters. We need a product that will bring in a substantial amount of income. We are bordering on bankruptcy as it is and I will not let this company be taken over yet again. So I have asked our division heads to see what projects we have going on and have the teams give presentations on those projects as they stand now. We need to see what will make us money now and what we are focusing too much money on. If a product will never be a success or is not a possible success in the near future, I have asked the division heads to put it aside for now and have that team focus on something that will be a success. I want all of our employees working towards making better products and plans that will help get this company back in the black. I will also be reaching out to other inventors and investors to see if there are any smaller products that we could produce that have already proven themselves in today's world. One of which is a product that Felicity brought to my attention. There is a small startup company that I have been trying to get their attention for months. They have created a solar panel system that can be used on roadways and parking lots. If used correctly it can generate enough power to practically run a city. The panels themselves are fairly cheap to produce if done on a large scale. The startup has already tested the product on the bike ways of the Netherlands and has seen great success with the product. They are looking to expand their business but don't have the capital or capabilities. That is where we come in. I will be reaching out to not only the City Council here in Starling but also several other major cities like Central and Coast City. I want to secure a bid from each city to support installing the panels on their roadways and parking lots so that we can gain capital and show the growth options to the small startup. If I can secure those bids, we should be able to purchase the startup and it's patent. Queen Inc. would be the leading producer of solar panels for this use in the world. Once we show their success in these cities, other will follow. I have seen the numbers and it is possible to run an entire city off of these panels. We could turn Starling into the first self-sufficient city in the world. I would like the board's approval to reach out to the cities in question about the bids as well as the startup company about acquiring their technology."

The board members looked at one another then Mr. Foster spoke up. "In theory it sounds amazing, Oliver. But we need to see the research."

"I have created a presentation and paperwork on the venture and am willing to go over the details with you now if that is okay?" Oliver smiled as Adira handed out folders with all the information Oliver had been collecting on the project over the last few months. Felicity knew he had been interested but even she hadn't seen all the work he had put into this. She was impressed with just how serious he was taking his role as CEO now. Over the next hour the group sat in the room and hashed out all of the finer details of the plan as well as a couple other ventures Walter and Oliver had come up with to help the failing company regain it's footing.
