Oliver walked into the bunker and found Dig and Rene training. He spoke to Dig.

"Felicity told you about the baby?"

John didn't look up from Rene. "About it being a girl? Yeah she told me. She came here looking for you."

Oliver sighed. "And I was with William."

Dig glanced up when he heard the difference in his friend's voice. "What's up?"

"Nothing I just heard that I am going to have a daughter from Sara."

Dig looked at Rene. "Give us a sec."

Rene nodded. Dig grabbed his water and walked over to where Oliver was sitting.

"What are you thinking?"

"I don't know. My mind is in a million different places." He cracked a small smile. "A daughter? God I can't believe i'm going to have a daughter."

Dig smiled. "You'll be fine."

"I just don't get why she didn't tell me?"

"Maybe it just got away from her?"

"Maybe."

Felicity was soaking in a hot bath trying to relax when her phone rang. She groaned when she read Mom on the screen.

"Hey Mom."

"Hi Sweetie. I just wanted to check in on how you're doing. Are you drinking that tea I sent you?"

"Yes thanks again."

"No problem. I hope you're not moving around too much. Being pregnant takes a lot out of you."

"I know it does. I'm taking things easy at work."

"Good. I'm sorry that I can't come out there for a while but things are busy at work and I just got that promotion..."

"I know Mom. I'm fine really."

"Okay. I love you."

"I love you too."

She hung up and climbed out of the tub. She put on her pajamas and then decided to walk into the spare bedroom. She used it for storage. She started to get ideas for the nursery. She also got ideas for something else. She grabbed a pen and paper and started to sketch her idea out. She laughed at herself when she was finished. She had designed a baby monitor that was accessible by phone or tablet, alerted you if there was gas or fire in the room, let you know the room temperature, and even could control the lights. Her MIT degree was definitely paying off.

"I'm just saying we need to get out ahead of this!"

"I know but we can't if we don't know who he is targeting."

Felicity rolled her eyes. Rene and Sara were arguing. Felicity ignored them and fired up the computers. Barry sat down next to her and smiled.

"I have something for you."

He handed her a giftbag. She smiled.

"What's this for?"

"Open it."

She pulled out a pink Star Labs onesie. She smiled. "I love it."

He smiled. "Well I heard you were having a girl so I figured it was perfect."

She nodded and hugged him. "Thank you Barry."

He stepped away and let her get to work. She didn't notice that Oliver had walked into the room until he spoke to her.

"Can we talk?"

She nodded and followed him upstairs. He rounded on her.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you?"

"That you had an ultrasound? Or that we're having a girl?"

"I didn't want to bother you. It was just an ultrasound. It's not like something was wrong."

He raised his brows. "I would have been there."

"But you didn't need to be."

"What's that suppose to mean?"

She chose her words carefully. "It's not like we're together or anything. We are having a baby together. That's all."

He looked taken aback. "I want to be involved in her life."

"And I want that too. But she's not even here yet."

"To me being involved also means going to the doctor with you and ultrasounds."

"But that has more to do with me then it does with her." She thought for a minute and then sighed. "I just think things will be easier for both of us if we keep a healthy distance from eachother with this stuff. We spend enough time together anyways."

She went back downstairs leaving him speechless.

Felicity felt bad that she spoke to Oliver the way that she had but she had to. She was afraid to let him in too close. What if he hurt her again? What if he let the baby down? She didn't want her daughter to grow up with her parents fighting like she had. But then he did something that made her rethink everything. A knock came on her door and when she opened it there were delivery men.

"Can I help you?"

"Are you Felicity Smoak?"

"I am."

"Where do you want it?"

"Umm the living room is fine."

"We're suppose to assemble it for you."

"Assemble what exactly?"

He handed her a note.

Felicity,

I get that after everything I have put you through you want me at a distance.

I will respect your wishes but I still want to be there for our daughter.

Please let me,

Oliver

She looked at the box and saw it was a crib. She allowed the delivery men to assemble it in the nursery. She felt a twinge of guilt creep in yet again. There had to be a way to let him be involved with the baby but still keep their friendship right?"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The next day Felicity went to Oliver's office. She knocked and he spoke.

"Come in."

She opened the door and stepped inside. He looked surprised.

"Hey is everything okay?"

She nodded and walked closer. "I owe you an apology."

"No you don't."

She sat on the edge of his desk. "Yeah I do. I was treating you lie my father and that's not fair to you. I just...I don't want you to feel like I'm pressuring you to be involved."

He gave her his full attention. "I want to be involved. All the way. But I get that you want to have boundaries."

She nodded. "How about you can come to ultrasounds but no offense doctor's appointments are a no."

He smiled and nodded. "That works."

"Okay."

"And when she's born, if you're okay with it, I would like to be there."

She thought for a minute and nodded. "I'm okay with that." She felt something and grinned. "Can I show you something?"

He cocked a brow and nodded. She grabbed his hand and set it on her stomach. He felt the baby kick his hand and he grinned.

"Woah."

She nodded. "She's tough."

"Just like her mother."
