I left myself a little sidenote saying to remind readers that this was set in season 2 :)

So, I'm back? I am so sorry I have been missing for so long, but those who had suffered year 12 would know how much attention needs to go into studying and how much of a lack of motivation to anything else exists.

I was going through my older fanfic file today and found this little fic I had written a long time ago and I was in the mood to rewrite/edit and give you guys something from me.

So this is my little comeback!

Hope you guys enjoy and thank you so much for sticking with me for the past months :)

Thea isn't stupid, she knows something is going on between her brother and his geeky EA and when she catches them in a compromising position, she comes to the conclusion that is was only a matter of time.

Feel Her Heart Beat

Thea watched as Oliver moved behind his EA, his hand automatically going to the back of her neck, his darker fingers curling around the pale girl's neck. Thea had to give Felicity props for not even jumping at the contact. She either didn't notice, to lost in her computer world to even care or it happened so often that she had accustomed herself to the feel of Oliver's touch.

Thea had asked Oliver if Felicity was anything other then his executive assistant but his cold, hard glare had shut her right up. Now, watching them work together, Thea was beginning to believe that the rumors around Queen Consolidated might be true.

When Thea cleared her throat, Oliver barely reacted, just lifted his head slowly, his face blank. Felicity on the other hand startled, jerking in her seat so suddenly that if Oliver hadn't had his hand on the back of her neck, she would have tripped over sitting down.

"Ollie" Thea smirked, amused at Felicity's reaction. For some reason, Thea quite enjoyed it, it was honest and kind of cute.

As Felicity made move to stand, Thea saw Oliver's hand tighten for a second as if to say she didn't need to stand for her, then let go and proceeded to move around the desk towards Thea. Her brother stood tall in front of her, arms crossing over his chest as he looked down at her. Thea gave him a quick grin and mimicked his stance.

"Speedy, what can I do for you?" he asked, ensuring that he was blocking Felicity from her view. Thea grinned once again and lifted a brow at her brother but noticed his look and then lost all amusement. This Oliver she was still getting used to, and she was almost certain she would never really get used to it.

"I was wondering if you could go to the club tonight to allow a new shipment in. Roy is taking me out and begged me not to miss another date." Thea said, widening her eyes, hoping the puppy eye look still worked with him.

With just the narrowing of his eyes, she knew he was going to say no and just as she was about to narrow them, ready herself for an argument, Felicity popped out from his side, tripping in her heels as she stumbled her way over to them. Oliver caught her around the waist, rightened her and moved to stand behind her, his hand going to the back of her neck once again. Thea found it odd, that certain action, but it seemed to be of somewhat importance to Oliver to always be touching her neck.

"Your brother would love to help! He doesn't have anything on tonight that I'm aware of, well, no work related things. He might have a date or something. You know how men are, a new women every night and I'm sure Oliver isn't any different-" Felicity suddenly got quite flustered. "-not that I'm saying he is a slut or anything! I mean, I'm sure he gets his fair share of women but-" Oliver cut off the poor rambling woman before she could dig herself into a deeper hole, and if Thea hadn't been paying attention to Oliver's hand, she would have missed the tightening squeeze of his fingers.

"Felicity-" he rumbled, his eyes on Thea the whole time. Felicity squeezed her eyes shut , blushing before shuffling on her feet. "-What time does the shipment come in?" he continued, completely straying from Felicity's rambles as if it was another thing that happened often.

Thea frowned in surprise then quickly made herself smile, hoping she had hid her shock fast enough before either of them noticed. She hadn't know anyone Oliver ever listened to, not before he went to the island and not after he came back. Her brother was a man with his own conviction and he wasn't the type to sway at another's will.

Felicity Smoak was certainly more then just an executive assistant.

Felicity was watching Oliver with caution, knowing he was pouting, well, more like snarling but still, the man was pissed that he hadn't been able to suit up and go out and terrorize the city's lowlife population for the night.

Seated atop of Thea's main bar, Felicity sat swaying her legs, playing around on her tablet as Oliver dealt with the men bringing in thea's new shipment of alcohol. She didn't get involve during the hour Oliver snapped at the young men, she just would sneak quick glances at her angry boss.

She was finishing up on her tablet while Oliver was showing the men out and she startled when he slammed the door shut behind them with an angry grunt. Watching him as he spun on her she wasn't too surprised when he started stomping over to her. With a low sigh, which she knew he heard, she placed her tablet to the side and waited for Oliver to go Arrow on her.

"You do not get to decided what I do after work hours" he snapped as he advanced on her, his hands slamming down onto the bar besides her hips. Felicity lifted a brow but didn't say anything, allowing him to vent it out.

"You do not decided my evenings in front of my sister!" he hissed, blue eyes flashing at her before he huffed out breath. Felicity bit her lip, surprised at that statement. Was angry that she had said that he would do his sister a favour? Or was he angry that she had butted in about his evening before he could? Obviously Oliver picked up on where her train of thoughts where heading and he pushed back from her with a growl, beginning to pace.

"What's wrong with you doing a favour for your sister? Or is it more something to do with Thea knowing what you are doing during the night?" she asked him, tilting her head to the side, arms crossing over her chest. She waited a long minute until he spun back to her, stomped back to her and gripped her head on his big hands. They framed her face, fingers threading into her hair and Felicity's eyes widened in complete surprise. Her hands flew to his forearms, her nails digging into his skin as he stepped closer between her legs.

"She'll think the rumors are true" he murmured, his eyes tracing over her face before closing. Felicity froze, her eyes widening in surprise, hands tightening against his forearms as she stared at his face. She knew the rumors, hell, she lived the rumors. The women in the office where not happy that apparently somehow she had managed to snag Oliver Queen as her own. But she hadn't been aware that he was hearing these rumors as well.

"What rumors? There are no rumors. Well, I'm sure there are rumors but there isn't any rumors, you know?" she quickly said, attempting to throw him off this track before it got to personal. Because too personal with Oliver lead to trouble, and Felicity didn't have it in her to deal with the issues being personal with Oliver brought forward.

When his eyes opened again, she was not prepared for the emotion in them. One of his hands moved to the back of her neck, a spot in which he enjoyed cupping far to often, not that she was really complaining. When his hand tightened and he began to pull her forward, Felicity's heart melted.

Her date hadn't really gone as planned.

Roy, for some reason, had received an odd phone call that had had him speeding out of their favourite diner in seconds. He had called out to her as he was rushing out that he would call and then had vanished.

Not really impressed with his behaviour, Thea had decided to just walk to her club, which was only a twenty minute walk from the diner. Even with Oliver and Roy's voices in her head telling her that it was unsafe to walk alone, late at night in the Glades, she had fast walked and had made it to the club in a matter of minutes untouched.

Now, as she fought her way with the locks on the back door, she was hoping Oliver might still be there so she cloud vent to him. Finally getting the door unlocked, she pushed her way in before catching it and closing it softly behind her. The door was far to heavy and slammed when wasn't closed with assistance, and Thea wasn't in the mood for loud noise.

Sighing, she moved down the long hall way the opened up on to her main bar, already figuring out what she was going to be mixing into her drink to maybe help her sleep the night away. When she turned the corner into her bar, she stopped short, her whole system freezing up.

Her brother was between Felicity legs, her arms around his neck, his hand curled around the back of her neck. Their lips weren't touching, not yet, and Thea quickly realised that she had stepped into a really intimate, private moment between two people that obviously had a lot more than boss/worker relationship.

She quickly moved back as they closed the distance between each other and it made Thea stop again. It was like watching two souls become one. Two people that had been searching for each other over the past million years finally finding each other. It broke Thea's heart at the sheer beauty of these two people finally coming together and Thea couldn't help but feel the reason Oliver was living was because of the woman currently melting in his arms.

Ten years later

Thea couldn't believe she was celebrating her nephews seventh birthday.

Not surprisingly, Thea had confronted Oliver the day after she had walked in on Oliver and Felicity and had watched the way her brother had become overtly protective of Felicity as he had threatened Thea that if she told anyone, all he worse secrets would come out. She had rolled her eyes and told him to settle down and explain what was going on.

A year after that, Oliver had proposed to Felicity at Thea's apartment, out on her balcony.

Six months after that, Felicity had been walked down the isle by John Diggle, Oliver's best friend/man. The ceremony had be small and quick. Simple but oh so beautiful. Thea had cried during Oliver's vows to Felicity. And Felicity had sobbed through hers. The reception had been close friends but Oliver and Felicity had vanished within the first hour.

A year or so after that, Felicity had given birth to a beautiful baby boy. Oliver had cried more than Felicity. And then had refused to allow anyone other person to hold his son. Thea threw a Classic-Queen-Tantrum and had eventually gotten to hold her nephew, who she had begun attempting to corrupt as soon as he was in her arms. Two more boys followed years later and every now and then, Felicity would call Thea and complain about being stuck in a house full of testosterone.

Now, as Thea watched Felicity move around children running around her feet and adults wishing to talk, she realised something strange. Felicity was gently patting her belly with both hands.

Thea wasn't stupid. After watching Felicity go through three pregnancies, Thea knew the signs. Felicity was pregnant again. Just as she started to get up from her seat, she noticed Oliver making his way over to his wife. Settling back into her chair, she watched.

Oliver hunted Felicity, and when he caught her, his hand went to her neck, curling around the back as he bent his head to brush his lips over hers. Years of watching Oliver do that to Felicity, she still hadn't ever asked why he did it.

With that being said, when Oliver found her an hours later when night had dawned and they were sitting out on the porch sharing a beer, she had congratulated him on his fourth child and had laughed when he had shushed her, informing her that Felicity wanted to surprise everyone again. Felicity had come out and had kissed Thea goodnight, claiming she had had too much to eat and wasn't feeling well. Oliver had stood, hand curling around Felicity's neck before kissing her deeply. The poor woman had flushed, punched her husband in his chest before going back inside. Oliver had sat back down with a sigh and had brought his beer back to his lips.

"Why do you curl your hand around her neck like that?" she asked him. She obviously startled him, because he had dropped his beer back down to his lap without taking a sip and had frozen. He had stayed like that, and she had patiently waited for him t sort his thoughts out. Thea had turned from him, settling back into her chair, not n any rush for him to answer.

"I can feel her heart beat." he whispered. Thea slowly turned her head to him, startled at that response. "For so long I didn't have a heart beat. That island killed me many times and when I came back, the heart I had didn't beat anymore. Feeling Felicity's heart beat reminds me of why I lived. Without her, there is no me. Without feeling her heart beat, I wouldn't feel alive." he whispered. Thea stared at her brother, her hand lifting to grip his hand that was resting on his chair arm.

"I can feel her heart beat…"

I have four more exams over the next two weeks and then I am done with high school for life so hopefully that means more olicity fics
