So, this little piece is KittyKat1984's cookie. She picked the subject, I picked the song. It's based on a song by Ed Sheeran, but I dropped the last 2 lyrics of the song, because those are depressing as hell.

I hope you guys like it, but leave a comment anyways.!. Chapter 10 will be dedicated to Beckaa182, for the guessing of 'Stay Stay Stay' in the previous chapter.

Enjoy!


He was excited. And slightly nauseous. Okay, make that a lot nauseous. And the smell in this stupid waiting room didn't help. At all.

Their hands were intertwined, which was almost the only thing that kept him in his place. Almost. There was one more reason he was sitting here, feeling all kinds of feelings, and sweating even more than he did while working out in the basement. And that reason was not even a foot tall yet.

It was mostly the thought of him being a father that made him nervous. He'd never really considered himself the dad-type. Felicity on the other hand, would make the absolute best mother ever. She was kind and caring and loving. She was what he would have liked his mother to be. Not that he didn't love Moira, but she'd put him and Thea through so many lies and deceptions, he had lost all trust in her.

While they were sitting in the waiting room, anxiously awaiting their names to be called, his mind drifted to 3 months ago, the day she gave him the biggest and scariest gift ever.


He'd been doing his upside-down crunch routine when she came in and stood looked up at him. She had said there would soon be one more person living in Starling City, one more person to protect. He'd panicked and had lost his grip, causing him to drop down onto the mat. He figured she'd meant Barry was coming back, and he didn't like that one bit.

Even though he kind of, sort of, maybe trusted the kid a little more, 'specially after the mask and the coma, he still didn't like him. And he didn't like him being too close to Felicity. He didn't want her to realize she'd rather be with somebody more her level of genius.

When he told her that, she started laughing, because she found his train of thought to be utterly hysterical. And ridiculous. And after that, she gave him a little stick, and looked at him expectantly.

It was a good thing he was sitting down at that point, because what he saw in his hand, was even scarier than the thought of Barry back in Starling.


He was shaken out of his musings by Felicity, who had let out a little whimper. Turning to her to see what was wrong, he saw a huge grin on her face. She untangled their hands and placed his on her belly. His eyes turned wide, because he could feel distinct movement in there. He gave Felicity a look of utter love, and put his lips against her stomach.

The then proceeded to talk complete gibberish to her stomach and made her laugh so hard she almost peed herself.

The nurse, Kitty her nametag read, called them in after that, and before he knew it, he had a picture to add to the growing collection in his wallet. And they knew the color to paint the nursery in. This day had started awesome.

He hoped she'd look like Felicity. Blond hair, blue eyes and every bit as fierce as her mother was. He imagined holding her, cradling her in his arms. She'd wrap her fingers round his, and smile at him. With her tiny little hands and feet. And he'd share all he knew (that wasn't too dangerous of course) and protect her and her mother with every breath he had.


But first, he'd have to tell his mother. And he prayed that would go over better than the last time he had big news to share.

His mother had gone hysterical when he'd introduced Felicity as his girlfriend. She hadn't forgotten the way Felicity had spoken to her about her secret, and had gone and blabbed it to Oliver. But she'd gotten over it (sort of), after Oliver had told her not to push him away again. There was however, no way to predict his mother's reaction to their latest news.

Thea would be excited, because if there was anything she loved more than shopping for herself, it was shopping for a baby. She was going to spoil this kid rotten.

Diggle of course knew already. Him being with Felicity for most of their evenings at the foundry. He'd found her head in the toilet on more than one occasion. He'd been happy for them. And he'd been a little jealous for him, because of the nature of her work, Lyla had decided children wouldn't be a good idea. But he would make a fantastic uncle for sure. He was family after all.


She was fidgeting. Kept pulling up the blouse she was wearing, and smoothing it out a second later. He took her hand in his, rubbing her knuckles saying it'll be okay, relax, don't worry to her as they drove up the driveway to the house. Oh god, he really hoped it would be okay.

They rang the doorbell several times, before Oliver lost his patience and just opened it with his key. His mother knew they were coming anyway. Making their way to the living room, Oliver noticed that the house was uncharacteristically quiet. Usually there would be at least music playing in the living room. He began to wonder if he had actually sent the text telling his mother they would be stopping by.

Motioning Felicity to open the living room door, he pulled out his phone to check his sent messages. Only to drop his phone instantly, upon hearing several voices yelling surprise, very very loudly. He poked his head inside the living room and felt his jaw hit the floor.

The inside of the living room looked like a tornado had picked up everything in babies R us and dropped it at the Queen Manor. There was a crib and a rocker, some sort of hanging contraption and god knows what all this stuff really was. His mother and Thea stood in the middle of all the madness, looking very pleased with themselves.

Felicity turned to look at him, surprise clearly displayed on her face. "Oliver.. did you…" she indicated to the living room. After assuring her he had not told his mom or Thea about the baby, nor did he plan this, whatever this was; they turned back to the two Queen women.

Suddenly the door to the kitchen opened and Roy came out, stuffing a piece of cake down his throat. He looked around, swallowed his cake and froze.
Well, at least now they knew who had blabbed to his family.


Well, that Roy and his big mouth. So, I hope you enjoyed Felicity's small bump. I really liked writing it. I even have a follow-up story in mind.. maybe.. If you'll have it.. But that's for a little while later.

So I was thinking of making this a 20 chapter piece (because there are just so meany great songs out there) but if you guys think it should be shorter (or longer) be sure to let me know.

KittyKat1984, I hope you liked it, and notices the extra wink in there!
