3 months later
Felicity was stood in Oliver's kitchen tossing the salad exactly how he had said as he easily glided from one thing to the next. She smiled softly, watching him with appreciation as his muscles moved and how at peace he truly looked there.
"You're staring." He said not even looking at her, the corner of his lips twitching up.
"What and you don't stare at me whilst I sleep?" He looked up then.
"Well I can't help it that I wake up earlier than you, plus I get to appreciate the view now." He winked playfully as checked the lamb in the oven.
"I'm just appreciating the view too." She replied staring at his ass. He laughed then as he closed the door, throwing the oven mitts to the side and wrapping his arms around her. He slowly placed a tender kiss to her lips.
"You're remarkable." He whispered as he pulled away.
"Thank you for remarking on it." She replied wrapping her arms around his neck. "You aren't too bad yourself mister." She winked and he smiled. She saw the moment his mind started to wander back. "Nope, no..."
"What?"
"You aren't going there." He shook his head because of course she knew him so well. "You know I lo- care about this man." She placed her hand over his heart. "He's proven I can trust him, so stop it I'm not going anywhere, because well I'm yours and I don't want anyone else." His mouth fell open slightly as he wrapped his arms more tightly around her waist.
"I'm yours too." He whispered as he slowly placed his lips to hers, she opened her mouth to him deepening the kiss when a knock at the door caused them both to pull apart.
"I'll get the door whilst you work your magic." She gestured to the kitchen and he laughed. She opened the door with a giant grin.
"Hey!" Chimed the entire group.
"Oh my god, I mean all of you at the same time WOW!" She opened the door wide. "Welcome come in." Diggle and Lyla came in first pushing a sleeping Andy, closely followed by Thea and Roy, then Sara and Nyssa, then finally Tommy and Laurel. "Can I get anyone anything to drink? Can I take your coats?" Felicity asked.
"Girl we know where everything is." Thea said hanging hers and everyone's coats on the coat rack by the door. Tommy made his way into the kitchen straight to the fridge.
"Who wants beer?" He asked. Diggle and Roy nodded.
"I'll get the wine." Laurel said with an easy smile.
"So that's beers for Dig, Roy, Sara and Nyssa." He handed them over as the guys made their way to the massive table in the living room, the sofas having been pushed to one side. "You want a beer Oliver?"
"Yes please man." He tossed him a beer before heading to the table. Laurel grabbed the bottles of wine placing them in the centre of the table before pouring out the drinks.
They all chatted and ate; Oliver delivered an absolutely fantastic meal, the entire group having had a lovely evening. They all had turns holding Andy when he was awake and Felicity's heart still hammered when she saw the baby in Oliver's arms. All of the couples sat side by side, leaning into the other, all blissfully in their own bubbles but also a part of this bigger family. Oliver wrapped his arm around Felicity's waist pulling her into his lap. She smiled at him, her heart still racing every time. He smiled back; thankful he finally had the woman of his dreams.
"We have an announcement to make." Sara said softly. The whole group fell silent turning towards her and Nyssa who were sat hand in hand. "As you know I... Errrr I managed to change my life around and it was thanks to this lady right here." She glanced at Nyssa lovingly. "And well... I want to spend the rest of my life with you and shout it from the roof tops that I love you." The group chuckled softly. "So Nyssa will you marry me?" Nyssa's mouth fell open, her normally stoic expression softened.
"Of course my beloved, of course." She leant forward capturing her lips and the group cheered and shouted their congratulations. Roy's arm was slung around Thea's shoulders as she cuddled further into his side. Laurel was leaning into Tommy's side his hand on her hip, the two smiling lovingly. Oliver tightened his grip on Felicity he was completely and blissfully happy.
"Well we're thinking of moving in together." Laurel said quietly.
"No we are moving in together." Tommy said pulling her closer, kissing her softly on the cheek.
"We're going to buy our own house, prepare for the future." He said proudly and Laurel blushed.
"Finally!" Oliver practically shouted. "It's taken you guys long enough to realise you're hopelessly in love!" Laurel blushed.
"Yes I love him!" Tommy's smile brightened it could light up the entire room.
"And I love you too." He whispered into her ear.
"Awww you guys all of us all loved up." Sara said gesturing around, her hand squeezing Nyssas.
"I think we're passed that phase." Diggle said glancing at Lyla. The group laughed, as she leant up and placed her lips on his.
"No we just got our shit together quicker than all these." The group laughed even harder then.
"Plus we aren't all at you guys levels." Thea said with a soft smile gesturing around the room.
"Neither are we." Felicity said softly. She felt Oliver freeze beneath her and she turned to look at him.
"Oh please you two can't keep your hands off each other." Thea said absentmindedly.
"No... I just meant we aren't really at the level of kids, or marriage, or moving in yet." She spoke to the room but stared at him his eyes looking saddened.
"You practically live here Fliss, I haven't seen you at home in months." Roy said with a cocky smile. Felicity blushed, glancing back at the group then back to see Olivers smile back in place, his hands squeezing her side.
"Do you want to?" He whispered. "Do you want to move in here?"
"I mean we've only been dating 3 months Oliver, we haven't even..." She stopped herself as she stared into his eyes. Why was she doubting herself? She could see the fear behind his smile. "Yes, why not I mean most of my stuff is here anyway." She teased and he laughed, the whole group laughing too.
"I do love you." He said between chuckles and instantly she froze her laughter stopping abruptly. It hit him then what he had said.
"What did you say?" She asked cautiously. Oliver wasn't sure how to answer, the hesitation plain as day in her features. But he meant it, he loved her, he was in love with her and now he'd said it he needed to say it again.
"Felicity Megan Smoak I am hopelessly in love with you. I love you and I can't imagine a life without you no-" He was immediately cut off as her lips crashed onto his, her arms tightening around his neck her fingers brushing the hairs at the nape of his neck.
"Get a room." He heard Thea tease as Tommy wolf whistled. Slowly she pulled back first, her hand landing on his cheek their eyes locked.
"I love you too Oliver." She smiled softly. "I love you." She repeated slowly accentuating each word. His eyes glistened, his heart pounding as the flashes of a future he'd never thought he wanted flowed through his mind, of marriages, of houses, and kids, of long lazy Sunday mornings, of teaching their kids to cook, in seeing Felicity in a wedding dress, of her smile for the rest of their lives together. He saw her eyes reflecting his exact same thoughts, and they smiled at each other their fingers entwining as they turned back to the group. Everyone completely happy and things might not be as they are in fairytales, they might not always be happily ever after but they'd do it all together, good, bad, everything, hand in hand.
