The Announcement

'Is it to0 much?' she asked herself looking at the balloons down the hall. 'No, no it's fine. It's fine. Oh god, why am I so nervous? I knew this was going to happen, I mean it shouldn't be a surprise and, great, now my hands are shaking.' She thought to herself as the nervousness got the best of her, while she looked down at her hands. 'Maybe I should paint my nails blue, or is that too obvious?' Shaking her head at the idea, 'Focus Felicity, Focus.'

She had spent the whole day trying to think of a way to break the news she had discovered this morning, to Oliver. She had been trying to think of ways to not give away the announcement. She figured if she had a plan, then she would be less likely to blurt it out even before he even got to the door. She had finally found something around the early afternoon, and immediately put the plan into action. But now after all of the prep work was done, she had no idea what to do with herself. So all she can do is imagine up every little possible way this could go sideways, when she knows deep down that there is nothing that can ruin this future moment.

As she was trying to get her thoughts under control, she made her way to the master bedroom, deciding to take her battle upstairs and wait for Oliver up there.

'It's going to be ok, everything's going to be ok' she told herself in her own little pep talk, while taking deep breaths, trying to calm down her racing heart. When she was finally calm, she didn't' get a chance to enjoy the feeling, because the familiar sound of a car pulling up front, sent her heart back into a frenzy.

"Oh Boy. Alright Felicity you can do this" she whispered to herself.

After pulling up to the place that he has happily called home for the last three months, a smile appeared on his face for the first time that day. It had been a hectic and miserable day down at City Hall. He had planned on going to the bunker, but once he heard that Felicity was taking the night off, he decided to do the same and he wanted nothing more than to see her beautiful face and hear her entrancing babbling.

Powering off the car, and climbing out, he finally took a deep breath and made his way to the front door. Opening the door, he was immediately welcomed to a balloon hitting him in the face.

"What the hell" he whispered to himself.

When he looked closer at the balloon he saw that there was a note attached to the string that said "Follow me".

Looking up with narrowed eyes, he saw a trail of white balloons, and he did the only logical thing, he followed the balloons.

As he was walking he kept wondering if he had forgotten something 'did I miss something? It's not our anniversary, it's not her birthday, it's not mine. If it's none of those, then what is this?'

When he got to the base of the stairs, he saw the trail leading up, and he continued his trek upstairs. When he got to the last balloon, he noticed that it was right in front of the master bedroom and when he grabbed the doorknob to open the door, he heard a pair of feet scurrying around in the room.

With his senses on high alert, he slowly opened the door to find nobody in the room, but a single green balloon.

"What is this" he whispered to himself in extreme puzzlement.

Going over to the balloon in front of the California King Bed, he immediately sees a box attached to it with a dark green bow decorating it.

Taking one last look around the room, looking for Felicity, who is still not in sight, he finally focuses on the box and unwraps the bow and carefully opens the white box.

The contents in the box make him gasp in surprise and before he can do anything he hears a door open beside him, and sees her, from the corner of his eye, slowly make her way over to him timidly. Before she can say anything, a huge smile erupts onto his face and he whispers, "Are you serious? Is this really happening?"

And all she can do is slowly nod with a smile tickling her lips, and before she can confirm his question verbally, he turns towards her, and grabs and spins her around.

In the box was a green onesie with a hood on the left side and the Green Arrow and Flash action figures in the middle and a white onesie with an arrow that says "Worth the Wait" on the right.

"We're going to see him again" he says after he gently puts her back on her feet and kisses her passionately.

"Yes, we are" she whispered and nodded with tears stinging her eyes.

"We're finally going to have our little boy" Oliver said with his eyes as watery as hers and before she can say anything else he embraces her and pulls her into a passionate kiss. They were getting their little boy a lot sooner than planned, and they couldn't be happier.

Later that night they are lying in bed with nothing but a thin white sheet covering them.

"I can't believe that in 9 short months we're going to see our little boy again, nothing could possibly make this moment better."

"Well I could try."

"Shoot" he whispers in her hair.

"Well, it's less than 9 months, it's probably more like 8 or 7, I mean I don't have an exact date to go off of but, I have a feeling we'll being seeing Tommy sooner than we think."

"You're right, you did just make this day even better than it already was" he said kissing her hair with a smile clearly evident on his lips. "Felicity Queen you have truly just made me the happiest man on the face of this Earth. You my love, are truly remarkable."

"Well thanks for remarking on it" she said in a sleepy voice as she drifted into a peaceful sleep.
