A/N So I decided to take a little break from writing one reason being I work 50 hours a week usually and the past two weeks I have pulled 70 hours each week, another reason is I was really sure people were still reading this but my brain told me to finish it so finish it I shall I've placed a time jump in this since I wanted to keep up with the current episode (plus I kind of want to get to the angst and get it over with) so keep reading and enjoy
Chapter 4.
The past 72 hours seemed like a Blur to Felicity. In that time she had literally found out Oliver had a son, saved said son and then watched as Oliver had an emotional reunion with him right in front of her very eyes.
She sat on the balcony looking out into the sunset and sighed.
She didn't exactly know where Oliver was right now she asked her Mom to take her back to the loft as soon as she saw Oliver hug the child.
She was grateful that William wasn't hurt and that he was back with his mom.
But she was Furious with Oliver.
Sure in his head he probably thought it was best and he probably made up all the best reasons for it but they made a promise many months ago back when all they did was be happy and in love.
It had been one day since they left Star City behind and now they were on a plane to god knows where and Felicity didn't care because for the first time in her life she felt stable and secure, which was a new feeling for her but before they started whatever they were about to start she needed to clear the air.
"You ok?" Oliver asked bringing her back to reality.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"You Sure? You look like you are a thousand miles away."
Felicity sighed and turned to him.
"I just I need you to know something."
"Okay what is it?"
"After what happened with my Dad and Copper it made me very cautious about the men I trust and why I do trust you in my head, my heart is a different story and I just want to know that I am deciding to trust you with it like you trust me with yours I just need to know that if ever and whenever the time comes that you will trust me with any secret or any action that you know or do because whatever you tell me it won't make me love you any less then.. Oh god I'm babbling again, I really need to stop doing that."
She bowed her head and heard Oliver chuckled "Felicity look at me."
Felicity looked at him and saw him smile "I promise I won't keep anything from you from now on."
Felicity smiled and leaned in to kiss him.
"I am such an idiot." Felicity said hitting her hand against the wheel to her chair.
"Felicity." He said lowly behind her.
She turned around and glared at him before turning her chair and rolling right past him.
"Is William okay?" she said not glancing at him.
"He's fine he is on his way back to Central City with his mom."
"That's good."
"Felicity I owe you-"
"You don't owe me anything because this is what you do, you know I thought you had changed that the secret keeping Oliver, the Oliver that kept things to himself and didn't give a damn about anyone else's feelings, the man who wanted to do everything alone and shut everyone out, I thought that Oliver was gone."
"He is gone Felicity you changed the way I am, I am a better man because of you."
"I wish I could believe that but you lied to me Oliver, and this isn't some miniscule lie like "I left the toilet seat up." Or "I forgot to put the laundry in the dryer." You had a kid the whole time you knew me and didn't say a word."
"I didn't know about him until Central City when we went to help Barry."
Felicity heard this and all of a sudden it all made sense.
"That's why you were acting so strangely, when we came home from that trip I asked you what was wrong and you told me it didn't matter anymore, but it matters Oliver it matters to me, why didn't you tell me?"
"Because Samantha told me if I told anyone I would never be able to see William and I just found out about him I didn't want to lose him."
"So you kept it from your girlfriend, your best friend and your sister the three people you could have trusted to take that secret to the grave for you to obey the demands of your brand new baby mama, but you could tell Barry?"
"Thea knows too." Oliver said before he could stop himself.
Felicity scoffed "So it was just me you couldn't trust then, Wow my mother was right."
"About what?"
"The fact that people can never change even when you want them too, I would of kept your secret Oliver, Samantha would have never known that I knew because if you had asked me to keep it I would have locked it so deep down that it would have never came out but you didn't trust me, which for the life of me I will never be able to comprehend because I thought if you wanted to marry someone then you had to have one hundred percent trust in that person I guess with us it was just one sided and boy did I make the wrong call."
"Felicity I didn't know he was alive the last I heard she had an abortion, I didn't know that she kept him."
"And I am not blaming you for that, I am blaming you for the fact that you knew about this for months and the fact that you don't trust me as much as I trust you, I just I don't understand Oliver and I don't think you can make me."
"Felicity I do trust you, I trusted you from the first moment I met you but this was different I knew if you found out about William."
"I would do what exactly? Give you an ultimatum? Tell you that you had to decide between me and your Son? Do you honestly think that little of me? You should know after being abandoned by my own father that I would never want that for your son, I would've loved him because he is a part of the man that I love he is a part of you and I would never ask you in a million years to pick between me and him and if you knew me you would know that but you didn't care about how I would feel or what I would do you made that decision by yourself because you clearly didn't trust me enough to let me make one or to even include me in, how can I marry a man who doesn't trust me?"
Felicity looked down at the ring and slowly slipped it off her finger "I thought I would never see the day when I would willingly take this off, I always thought it would be on my finger forever. I guess I was wrong"
Felicity laid the ring down on the end table and rolled to the door.
"Felicity."
Felicity stopped as soon as her hand hit the handle "I will still support your campaign and I will still help with Team Arrow but I need some time to think about us and to decide if I want there to be an us in the future."
Oliver ran up and closed the door holding his hand against "I'm not letting you leave like this, I still need to explain."
"You've already explained enough, loud and clear."
Felicity yanked on the door causing Oliver's hand to fall and she rolled away.
Oliver closed the door and banged his forehead against it before sliding down his eyes never leaving the ring that was on the table.
##
Felicity entered the lab at Palmer Tech and was met with Curtis who didn't fail to notice she had been crying.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing I just came to give something back to you." She said handing the bio stimulant back, "I don't need it anymore."
"I don't understand."
"It's fine just destroy it or give it to someone else, I appreciate and love you for the time and effort that you put into it but I won't need it to walk down the aisle."
"Okay I don't understand what is going on but I am not letting you not use this if anyone deserves to walk again it is you."
"I can't I'm sorry." Felicity said walking into the lab and shutting the door.
Curtis pulled out his phone "Donna, we have a situation here."
##
Oliver walked into the lair and turned the lights on, he couldn't stay at the house one more minute after Felicity left and he was hoping she would go to the lair so he could talk to her but a part of him knew she needed space.
He walked up the ramp and towards the computer and slowly traced his fingertips across the keyboard.
He spun around when he heard a gun cock.
"Jesus Oliver, You trying to give me a heart attack?"
"Sorry, I didn't notice you when I came in."
"Oh I wasn't here I was alerted by the silent alarm and came to see what was going on."
"What are you doing here?"
"Felicity left me."
Diggle didn't say a word just sighed and put a hand on his friend's shoulder.
##
Donna walked into the darkened lab room and looked around "Felicity, baby are you in here?"
The lights turned on momentarily blinding Donna before her eyes readjusted and she spotted Felicity in the middle of the floor.
Donna immediately ran over to Felicity and hugged her crying daughter.
A/N so this might be awful but it's the best I could do on no sleep so I hope you still like it
