"Okay Thea. I think you have lost your mind finally. There is no way this will be right for a high society dinner party. I even know that." Felicity laughed as she held up the dress that Thea had wanted her to try on. It was Wednesday afternoon and they had already set up the guest list and menu for Friday night. Now they were shopping for Felicity's dress before having a family dinner at Donna's that night. The dress in question was skin tight and had cut outs all over. It looked like something that would belong in a club. And not on a woman who was pregnant with twins and hosting a dinner party for her CEO husband's investors.
"Fine." Thea groaned then laughed as Felicity shook her head and laughed along. Thea had enjoyed getting close to the woman who had won Oliver's heart. She could see it easily. Thea was worried that she would feel left out but Felicity had made it a point from the start to include her in everything. To Felicity, Thea was a part of Oliver's life and she invited both of them into her life as one. Thea smiled tenderly at the small blonde who was sifting through dresses, knowing just how strong she was as well.
Over the last few days, Constantine had returned and they had started to try to restore Tommy's memories. Thea had been distracted by the dinner party and really hadn't stopped to think about what it would mean to have Tommy back fully. She knew it would be a change in their lives yet again. She also had not been near Malcolm in the Bunker; not wanting to invite that pain and heartache into her life yet.
Oliver had Rebecca release a press release stating that the couple was expecting twins and included a sonogram that showed only the babies but not the sexies. They also requested privacy during this time in terms of names and genders. Rebecca had sent it to Max first, who had done a full write up and was respectful how he presented the news. His article seemed to aim at the tabloid stories stating all the lies and helped to clear any misgivings.
Felicity had been training her replacement and started to set up QI for her exit. She knew that she would not be returning until after the new year so she wanted to make sure Logan and Veronica were instructed on how she intended on doing reviews so that the year end process went smoothly. She was planning on a few full days the beginning of this week then half days the rest of the week before her departure fully. Oliver had done all he could to help her as well, even apologizing for his assumptions to Logan and easing the tension between the two men.
Life at the mansion had ramped up as they took to decorating for Halloween and planning for the weekend away. Connor had been spending days at the house with Donna when they weren't out at one attraction or another within town. He had already been to the zoo and aquarium this week and Thea was planning on taking him to the local theme park before it shut down for the year tomorrow.
"How about this one?" Felicity asked pulling Thea out of her mind. She looked up to see a stunning blue chiffon short sleeve dress. The skirt seemed soft and was almost floor length. The neckline was high but had a bow at the center that matched one that hung near the waist. They helped to give the dress a bit of playfulness.
"Lis it's perfect. You'll look great in it. The color is so you."
"And the fabric is soft and gives so easy to get around the big belly. I'm gonna try it on." Felicity spun around to look for the changing rooms. Spotting them in the back corner she started that way before stopping. "Thea, I need your help with this." She pointed at the back of the dress she was already wearing, a mint green knee length dress that had a lace overlay and a bow belt around her waist. Thea smiled and followed her towards the dressing rooms. Once Felicity was settled and able to get out of the mint dress and into the blue one, Thea stepped back out of the changing room. "So do you know what you are wearing yet?"
"Yeah I found a great dress. Something my mom would have been so proud of. I know how much this dinner means so I figured I would tone it down a bit. At least for one night."
"Thanks Thea but it's not necessary. Oliver and I would never want to do that to you."
"I know Lis and I love that about you. Ollie would like for me to be a bit safer I think. That and not to be trying to see what I have going on between me and Roy. Yet again. I think he would like me to not date until I'm married. Something that he has forgotten only happens from dating and something he did a lot of before the island."
"That's probably why he wants you to not date so much. He remembers what guys at your age are like and doesn't want some guy treating you like he treated girls back then." Felicity called over the door as she finished dressing. "But I think he is easing up a bit since he knows Roy means well. At least this time around."
"Yeah that and I told him to never tell my boyfriend to break up with me again or you would be a widow a lot sooner than you plan on it." Thea teased and laughed.
"So you and Roy?" Felicity asked.
"Yeah. At least I think so. Right now it's just us talking. Something we really didn't do a lot of last time. It's different. I mean I'm not hiding things from him and him from me."
"You have to know he never wanted to do that the first time around."
"I know. He told me and so did Ollie. And I understand why they did it. I wasn't in a good place back then. Still not fully back but I am working on it. Nights are helping though. I feel useful. Like I am actually making a difference in the city."
"Well maybe you should do something like establish a charity or business for yourself that you can work on so you can help as Thea Queen and see what you can really do in this world." Felicity stated.
"You think? I mean I had been thinking about it but I didn't think was a good idea. Who would believe I could do that? And actually make it work out?" Thea shook her head and looked down at her feet as she waited for Felicity to step out in the new dress.
"I do." Felicity cupped Thea's cheek and raised her face so that she was looking eye to eye with the young brunette. "Thea you are brilliant and strong. You are a force to reckon with. Think about all the planning you have done for me and your brother over the last few months. Parties, dinners, dates and a gorgeous wedding. You're a natural. I would hire you in a second to plan and organize anything I had coming up. And not just because you're my sister."
"Sister-in-law."
"No. Sister. Thea you are my sister. It may be by marriage but we have all been through so much this last year that has only brought us all closer. So you are my sister. Now whatever you want to do I am behind you. 100%. And if you need any help just let me know and I will do whatever I can to make it happen. And I mean whatever." Felicity winked and smiled at the young brunette hoping that she understood the underlying context of her statement.
Thea raised up and hugged the blonde, overcome with emotion. "Thanks Lis. Man you really are the best thing to happen to my brother."
"That is true." A deep voice chuckled behind them. The two glanced to find Oliver and Connor standing there, smiling warmly at them. "Now, what has my remarkable wife done now?"
"Just been the best sister ever." Thea smiled as she wiped away her tears. Then she looked down to see the dress on Felicity. "Not to mention look like a knock out while being pregnant with twins. Most women would be jealous because you are married to him. I think they should be jealous because you can put up with him, work all day and still look incredible. All while almost 24 weeks pregnant with twins. That is remarkable."
"Thanks Thea." Felicity blushed. "So you like it?" She held out the skirt of the long blue chiffon gown and slowly turned to show it off.
"You look beautiful, Mommy. But your shoes look funny." Connor giggled as he took in the mint and gold suade flats Felicity had worn that day.
"I know Sweetie. I'm going to wear different shoes. But you like the dress?"
"Yeah you look like a princess."
"More like a Queen." Oliver mumbled proudly as his heated gaze scanned over her body. Felicity could feel the heat warm her skin and she blushed. How he could still make her feel so desired, even in the middle of a dress boutique with their son and his sister standing there, surprised her. "It's perfect Sweetheart. Thea you find a dress for you?"
"I told Lis I have one. A bit muted compared to what I normally wear but I think it is time to grow up a bit. Can't expect people to take you seriously if you don't dress the part a bit. Plus just because I own a club doesn't mean I have to dress like I live in it all the time."
"You sure? We can find you a dress here if you want." Oliver offered.
"Thanks Bro but I'm good. And it's time. If I really want investors to believe in my business ventures then I need to show them someone to believe in. Of course it will still have a bit of my fashion flare. That won't change." Thea shrugged.
"You get your suit?" Felicity asked before turning to head back into the changing room and change back into her mint dress.
"Yeah and Roy's. We are all set. Walter said Peggy and Adira got the last RSVPs today. All set as far as guests. And Connor is all set to stay with Brad that night. Then we will pick him up and head to Central City Saturday. Got the plane all set as well. And I checked with Natalie. She said a short trip is okay but we still need to be careful since you're getting close to your third trimester. I told her this would be the last trip until those two are here."
"Okay." Felicity growled, frustrated with the zipper on her mint dress. "Baby can you help?" Oliver stepped in and saw that she was struggling with the zipper. He shut the door and stepped in behind her then dropped his mouth to the back of her neck while his right hand skimmed into her dress and around to her belly, holding her against his broad chest. "Oliver!" Felicity gasped, her tone just above a whisper as to not draw attention.
"You are so beautiful and stunning. It drives me crazy. God, I always want… need to touch you. Feel you."
"Okay Baby but maybe not in a changing room while our son and your sister are standing right outside. You know how hard it is for me to stay quiet when you do certain things." Felicity giggled seductively.
Oliver let his dark eyes stare at her while a mischievous grin washed across his face. "Like this?" Before she could fully comprehend his words, his mouth was attacking her neck just above her pulse point; teeth gently nipping at the delicate skin there. This brought a heated sigh from Felicity as her knees felt as if they were going to melt from beneath her. She threw her hands against the wall to help hold herself up while he continued attacking her neck, panting as her blood warmed. She was swept away in the moment and missed Oliver pulling his hand out of her dress or the zipper being pulled into place. Then Oliver removed his lips with one last peck and a whimper escaped her. "All set Sweetheart." Oliver smiled boastfully, knowing he had just pushed her into a need that he would tease for the rest of the night. He saw the desire dripping from her eyes and chuckled.
"Oliver Jonas Queen, you are evil." Felicity growled at him as she turned to glare at him.
"Nope just warming you up for later tonight. When I have you at home and I can really drive you wild. I intend on hearing that lovely voice of yours screaming my name over and over before the night is over." Oliver whispered seductively into her ear finishing with his tongue teasing her industrial piercing and sending a shudder through her body. He leaned back just enough to see the shiver as it passed down her spine and she panted out a breath.
"Why can't we just skip dinner and head home now?"
Oliver laughed openly and cupped her cheek. "Because it's for your mom and she said it was important that we all be there. She is inviting the whole team so something must be up." Felicity groaned causing Oliver to laugh again. "Come on Sweetheart. Let's get there then we can go home. I see a hot bubble bath and a night full of pleasure in our near future."
"Promises. Promises. Mr. Queen." Felicity giggled as she pulled the dress into her arm and gathered up her belongings.
"Ones I plan on delivering." Oliver growled into her ear as he pulled into his side and moved them out of the room and started to finish up at the store and head to Donna's.

"Hey! You made it!" Donna greeted the family sweetly as she opened the door to her brightly colored apartment.
"Yeah Mom you said tonight and sent a reminder to us." Felicity groaned, not surprised that her mom felt like they may blow her off.
"Several. To all of us." Oliver teased under his breath but still got a nudge from Felicity and a playful slap on the arm from Thea.
"Well come on in." Donna held the door open and waved them in, hugging each one as the family entered the small space. "Quentin is already here. Same goes for the Diggles. We are waiting on Sara, Laurel and Roy. Nyssa is staying at the Bunker keeping an eye on Constantine and his friends while they figure out how to get Tommy's memory back." Donna huffed a laugh. "Wow! I never thought I would say something so crazy in my life but now it just seems normal."
"You get used to it. Slowly." Thea laughed as she hugged the older blonde. "We brought wine. Lis said you were doing pasta so we thought white. Especially since red would tempt Lis too much. You know her and her wine." Thea pulled out two bottles of an expensive chardonnay.
"Yep. Lissy was always better at enjoying wine than me."
"Well I know red sauce, red wine but Lis loves her reds and since she can't have any; I didn't want to rub it in her face too much."
"Well thank you Thea. These look amazing. And Nyssa said that Zed and Constantine are requesting a plate if possible when we are done."
"Yeah. Constantine called me while we were shopping. He asked if Thea and I would run by when we finish up here." Oliver smiled sweetly to his mother-in-law and her acceptance of his friends and teammates. "I'll bring it to them then. If you don't mind."
"Oh no! Please I have plenty. I can't cook to save my life so Quentin was nice enough to prepare several lasagnas for tonight. I think we have three total plus the salad and bread. So we should have plenty to share."
"And Raisa sent dessert as well." Diggle chuckled as the family moved into the main space where everyone was. Diggle and Lyla had been sitting on the sofa watching little Sara play on the floor. Connor hugged Diggle and Lyla before sitting down on the floor and playing with Sara. Diggle hugged each of the Queens and welcomed them into the space as well. "All set for Friday?"
"Just about. I just need to make a stop by the vault on the way home tomorrow. Have to get something for the wife to wear." Oliver smiled as he sat down on the floor next to Felicity's leg, his arm resting across her knees. Diggle matched his move while Thea sat in a nearby chair.
"Baby you don't need to do that. I have plenty to wear."
"Yes but it's expected Sweetheart. Plus if you don't wear them, who will?"
"Your sister?! They are her mother's after all."
"Yes but I agree with Ollie. Mom would have wanted his wife to wear the jewels we have. Especially if the dinner or function is to show off to investors for the company. It's part of the game. Plus I already stopped there to get my jewels from Friday so you can wear whatever you want in there."
"Now that is a dangerous thing to say around here if Felicity is anything like her mom. I swear Donna stops and looks at anything that sparkles." Lance snickered as he came out of the kitchen.
"One time!" Lance glared at Donna as she shouted that. "Okay maybe a few more times than that. Still it's not that bad." Connor started giggling behind her on the floor when Lance huffed a laugh at her. "Fine! See if I take you shopping with me anymore."
"Yeah that won't happen. Mostly because I want it to." Lance laughed as he went back into the kitchen to check on dinner. "Donna, these are just about done and I've got the salad ready. Want to set the food on the table now?"
"Sure. And we can open these." Donna answered as she grabbed the wine bottles and moved into the kitchen to help him.
"Mom, do you need any help?" Oliver asked.
"It's okay Sweetie. We've got it." Donna waved him off as she stepped into the kitchen.
Felicity looked confused by something. "What's wrong, Sweetheart?"
"Lance and Mom go shopping together? That seems weird."
"Yeah we do it all the time. Whenever Bubba goes to lunch with me on weekends, Lance meets us and we all hang out. It's fun and Lance always helps me find the coolest toys." Connor smiled up at his parents from where he was playing with little Sara, making her stuffed bear dance and wiggle.
Before Felicity could question or think of it more, a knock drew their attention to the door. "That must be Sara, Laurel and Roy. Oliver hun, could you get that?" Donna called.
"Sure thing." Oliver popped up and answered the door to find Laurel rolling her eyes while Roy and Sara were having a lengthy debate about something. "Hey! What's up?"
"They have been doing this since their sparring practice today. Apparently Sara used a new move on Roy after they had made a rule that no new moves were allowed in their matches. Sara says it's not a new move."
"It's not. It's a variation of an older move. Just simplified."
"That makes it new!" Roy shouted, frustrated over the argument.
"Okay. That's enough!" Laurel spun to face the two bickering vigilantes. "Now we are here to enjoy a lovely family or team meal. No fighting or no food. Get it!" Laurel growled as she stared down both of them.
"Got it." "Fine." Roy and Sara groaned out as they stepped into the apartment, Oliver fighting back a fit of laughter that was trying to rise out of him at the scene.
"Laurel! Sara! Roy! Come on in!" Donna smiled warmly at her new guests and hugged each one. "You're just in time. Dinner's ready."
"Hey baby girl." Lance smiled as he hugged Sara into his side then leaned in and kissed Laurel's cheek. "Sweetie. Everything okay?"
"Yeah just a long day. Glad we decided to take tonight easy." Oliver was about to open his mouth when she shook her head. "Don't even think about it. Our team has the city covered and the League is helping so you stay home with you very pregnant wife and help her get ready for Friday night." Oliver shrugged and nodded in agreement.
Once everyone had taken their seats at Donna's table, she stood at the end and smiled. "I would like to take this chance to make a toast. To our family. We have been through alot and have seen a lot of darkness in our lives but no matter what has brought us all together, we each bring something to this table that makes this family strong. Makes it work. Our love is felt infinitely and shared just as much. To family!"
"To family!" Everyone answered while raising their own glasses up.
"Now before we eat I have something I would like to announce." Donna eyed Lance and saw he agreed. They knew this would be a shock and was willing to go ahead and deal with it before they lost their nerve. "As most of you know, moving here had been a big change but one I am glad I made. I have gotten to get to know my grandson, my son-in-law and all of you that have meant so much to my baby girl. Not to mention seeing my beautiful baby girl become and wife and mother. Along the way I met a man that I think has changed a lot of things in my life as well. So I decided it was time to tell you all who he was." Donna got quiet and took a breathe for a second. She looked around the table to see a bunch of curious eyes except for three sets. Lance, Sara and Thea were all showing her silent support from their seats. Huffing out a breath, Donna smiled, "I've been seeing Quentin."
The room filled with gasps and grunts of shock. They all looked between Donna, Quentin then the rest of the table. Laurel was the first to speak when she noticed the smiles on Sara and Thea's faces. "You two knew! And said nothing!"
"We asked them not to." Lance explained. "We wanted to figure out what we were before we announced it."
"So the lipstick on your face that day?" Laurel questioned.
"Was mine. Sorry. I think I am getting better about that though." Donna blushed and giggled.
"I found out when he sent her a gift to the club to ask her out a couple weeks ago. It was sweet. And I wouldn't have known if he didn't sign the card." Thea laughed as Lance rolled his eyes.
"And I figured it out awhile back but Donna sort of confirmed it for me while Ollie was blowing his top over the stripper thing the night of the Bachelor and Bachelorette parties." Sara stated as she sipped at her wine.
"So wait. When you got all dressed up and went to coffee that day, you were meeting Lance?" Felicity asked remembering a nervous Donna just before their first date.
"Yep. We were suppose to have a dinner date after that but we had to reschedule when all the stuff happened with Christian. Of course Quentin was understanding and a pure gentleman about the whole thing." Donna smiled at him and he smiled happily back.
"Okay this is just crazy!" Laurel jumped up. "I mean my dad is dating my ex's mother-in-law. I think we are all just a bit too close knitted for all this."
"Laurel!" Lance snapped, upset that his daughter would be so rude.
"Dad, it's crazy. Not to mention her past."
"Hey that's my mom!" Felicity jumped in and defended. "Yes she has made some bad choices in the past but we all have. Or did you forget what happened after Tommy? How your entire family and even the ex, who you are so glad to through under the bus, tried to help you and stop you."
"Felicity, that's enough. I can speak for myself and Laurel has a right to her views." Donna barked at her daughter. Donna had learned of both Quentin and Laurel's past struggles with addictions. She had even been present for a couple meetings for him and a ceremony for when he got a sobriety chip.
"Sorry Mom."
"I like it. Lance is nice to Bubbe and we have a lot of fun and she laughs a lot around him. She always smiles bigger around him. And so does he." Connor smiled from between Oliver and Felicity.
"From the mouth of babes." Quentin grinned as he took Donna's hand in support. "I know this is a bit of a shock but we have been together for a couple months now and we were ready to tell you. We know that you all have a complicated past together and this just mixes that up a bit more but we are happy. We didn't want to hide it anymore from those we love and we hope that you will all come to support it in time."
"I love it. Means if they get married Lis and I are sisters. Sort of."
Laurel huffed and rolled her eyes then marched out the door. Lance went to go after her and Oliver stood up instead. "Let me?" Donna shook her head and smiled at him as he placed a hand on Lance's shoulder before running out after the fiery lawyer.
"Well that was exciting. So time to eat?" Roy asked as he rubbed his hands together. The table erupted into a fit of laughter and Felicity stood and stepped into her mother's kitchen, Lance following her.
"Are you okay? We didn't do anything to harm the babies did we?"
"No. They're fine. Just needing a moment to process." Lance nodded silently and stood beside her. "She has been happier these last couple months and I know you did that for her. You were also there for her with the whole Christian fallout so thank you."
"No need to thank me. I wanted to help both of you."
Felicity studied the older man for a moment before stating. "You really like her don't you?"
"No. I love her. Darhk taking her just sort of made me realize it. I told her the night we got them back."
"Really?" Felicity thought back to a week prior when she had spent an entire 24 hours in her bed next to her recuperating husband. She never knew that somewhere nearby Lance had told her mom he loved her. "What did she say?"
"That I loved him too. How could I not?" Donna smiled sweetly from the doorway before coming and standing next to Lance, wrapping her arms around him. "Oh baby girl! I'm sorry I didn't tell you. We planned on doing this a couple weekends ago at a dinner but we had everything go wrong with Darhk so we couldn't. Once we got back, we decided that things needed to calm down a bit before we said anything so we waited a week. I'm so sorry."
"Mom it's fine. But you know you can tell me things like this."
"I know Sweetie but we wanted to be sure about us before we told everyone. Since you all work together and are such a great unit we didn't want this to cause any trouble. I guess we were wrong in hoping for that."
Felicity rolled her eyes and smiled. "That's just Laurel. She huffs and puffs a bit then she'll come around. Trust me. She threw a fit when she found out about Oliver and the team as well as when she tried to join us last year. She'll be fine and Oliver will make sure of it."
"Just as long as you all still get along."
"We will Mom. I promise." Felicity smiled and hugged her mom. "But I do need to say this, break her heart Lance and I will confirm all those rumors about me at the precinct because I will use my superior skills against you directly."
Lance laughed wholeheartedly. "Would never dream of it. You Smoak woman make it so easy to fall in love with you and so hard to top you. There's no one else out there for me other than your mom."
"Well good. Then keep doing whatever you have been to make her smile and happy and you won't get destroyed or have an unpleasant visit from our city's archers." Donna giggled as Lance grinned and blushed and Felicity realized too late what she said. "Man, my brain is the worst! I should see if Natalie has a test for this and can see if my kids will have the same problem."
Lance chuckled as he pulled the young blonde into a side hug. "We wouldn't want you to change a bit. Adds some fun and amusing moments to this broody bunch." Lance explained as they moved back into the dining room.
"Hey who you calling broody? I have never been broody in my life. That is all you, Laurel, Ollie and Dig. Sometimes Abercrombie here." Sara jabbed at Roy who had a mouth full of lasagna as he held a dinner roll in one hand and a fork full of salad in the other. He just growled and rolled his eyes before going back to his meal.
Meanwhile outside the apartment, Oliver had caught up with Laurel as she stomped down the hall and tapped her foot while waiting for the elevator. As he approached her, the elevator opened and he jumped on before she could close the doors. "I'm not talking about it. Especially to you."
Tired of her attitude already, Oliver reached out to press the stop button; causing the car to come to a halt and be flooded in almost darkness. "Listen I know it is a lot to take in."
"A lot? Ollie you dated me, slept with Sara, married Felicity and now my dad could possibly turn into your father-in-law one day. That sounds like something from one of those cheesy made for TV movies off Lifetime or something."
Seeing a deeper aggression in her eyes, Oliver asked, "What is this really about? Because we both know that you are all for your dad staying sober and being happy. Two thing that seems to be happening with him dating Donna."
"It's… it's nothing."
"Laurel, talk to me. I have known you half my life. We were always good friends. Come on."
Laurel groaned then sat down on the elevator floor. "It's just so much going on. So much happy news. I mean you and Felicity getting together, then getting married and having the babies. Not to mention Connor coming home with you. Diggle has Lyla and baby Sara. We got Sara back, which I am happy about, but Nyssa returned as well. And now even Thea and Roy are back together. Not to mention all the craziness of having Tommy alive again. Our little group is very close knit and hard to get into in the first place. I guess I'm just wondering…"
"Where you belong." Oliver whispered as he sat down next to her. He leaned in a bumped her shoulder with his. "You belong with us. You are our partner, teammate, and for most of us either friend or sister. I know for a fact that Sara loves having you around the Bunker. So does Thea. They had said it was starting to really feel like a boys club down there. And Felicity knows how valuable you are and trusts you. She also likes that she has yet another female voice to boss me around when she can't. Same goes for Lyla. They both know that you will yell and scream at us husbands if we act up at all. And Roy respects you as well. As for me personally, I am just glad to see you happy again. It has been a long time since I have seen you this happy and I'm just glad to have you apart of my life again. The years I was away, I feared you would never talk to me again and I would never be able to make up for my wrongs. When I got home and Tommy took me to see you take day, it pretty much confirmed my fears. But somehow he got you to turn around and talk to me again. And I am eternally grateful to him for that. I got a good friend back when that happened." Oliver smiled at her.
"Yeah Tommy. He was amazing. But that another thing I just… how do I handle the man I love not remembering a second of our lives together. I tried talking to him. Tried to see if telling him and showing him things from our past may bring back his memories but he was just staring at me blank. It's like I have lost him all over again. But this time instead of seeing him everywhere like a ghost, he is actually there." Laurel started to cry softly.
Oliver wrapped his arm around her shoulders, trying to comfort her grief. "I know it hard but he will get him back. Constantine said he had a way and that we were going to try after dinner tonight. Just hold on a bit longer and have a little hope. For Tommy, okay?"
"Sure." Laurel wiped away her tears and sniffled as she calmed herself down again.
"Good. Now are you ready to head back. I don't know about you but I have always loved your dad's lasagna and it smelled wonderful." Oliver grinned trying to get her to smile.
"I don't think they want me back in there after everything. I said some really ugly things."
Oliver pressed the start button and pressed the button to have them head back up to Donna's apartment. "If there is one thing my wife has taught me, it's that there is nothing you can't fix if you really want it fixed. I would start with an apology. They seem to go a long way with the Smoak women." Oliver chuckled and Laurel laughed along with him.
