Hello everyone! Yes I do realize that this is late and I'm sorry but I've had another block (ugh) and it was awful. I have close to 15 half-finished drafts just sitting in my folders and somehow this is the only story I managed to finish.

This isn't for a prompt, I was just rewatching a movie that had a funny scene (a scene I rewrote here) and that scene kind of inspired this story. To all of you prompt givers, you're awesome and I'm sorry if I still haven't written your prompt.

Thanks to everyone for the constant reviews and support in general, you're all my light in cloudy days (it's 5 AM I have the right to be cheesy)

Thanks Sara for helping me look through baby-names' sites for this chapter, you're always perfect.

My life would be much easier if I owned Arrow. My life is hard and therefore I don't own it. Logic, people!

Enjoy!

The moment Oliver stepped into his house, he knew something was wrong. Right at the foot of the stairs, his daughters sat waiting with expectant expressions on their faces and he instantly had the feeling that he was forgetting something important.

"Daddy!" jumped his eldest to her feet with a shouted whisper then ran to him, followed closely by her little sister. "Did you get it? Where is it?" She looked between him and the living room's door urgently. "Come on, we have to hide the present before mommy comes out."

"What present?" He asked with puzzlement and saw the eleven year old widen her eyes in alarm, while the seven year old covered her mouth in exaggerated shock.

"Daaad," Amy's blue eyes narrowed behind her glasses in a way that reminded him of her mother. "please tell me you remembered." She was starting to chew her lip while Claire shook her head gravely.

Just as he opened his mouth to ask what they were both on about, Felicity walked out of the living room with a radiant smile on her face. She wore her hair in curls today and had swapped her glasses for medical contact lenses, and for some reason, she wore a beautiful long dress.

As she approached, both girls seemed to communicate something and Claire rushed to stand behind her mom while Amy wore a strained smile. He was definitely forgetting something.

Stopping just a few steps away, Felicity twirled once then turned to smile at him. "What do you think?" she asked.

"You look gorgeous." Oliver said with a hesitant smile. She did look gorgeous –as always- but he had no idea why she was dressed for occasion. Were they going somewhere?

Accepting his compliment with a slight smile, she titled her head to the side and eyed his outfit. "Shouldn't you get changed?" she asked. His daughter moved closer to him and tugged slightly at his sleeve.

"Yes I was wondering –" He ignored Amy's attempt at getting his attention in favor of looking at Felicity. "Are we going somewhere?"

The tugging only grew stronger and now seven year old Claire was doing a funny dance behind her mom. She jumped up and down to get her dad to look at her but to no avail.

"Oliver seriously," Felicity started to frown. "this isn't funny and we'll lose our reservation at the restaurant."

Oliver looked down at Amy for help and she nodded discretely at her sister. When Oliver's attention settled on the little one, she made her forefinger and thumb meet in a circle then proceeded to put her left hand's pinkie in and out of the circle. Besides him Amy made a comical expression at her sister then did a mini face palm. He had no idea what any of it meant.

Felicity was oblivious to the charade game going on. She stared at Oliver a second longer then lowered her eyes with a disappointed smile. "You forgot didn't you?" Felicity's voice was hurt and he figured that he's in big trouble. "We made the reservation a month ago and you just forgot about it." She shrugged, still not looking at him, and then forced a smile. "Well, no big deal. I'll call and cancel then. Must have been a busy day."

Oliver opened his mouth to ask again or apologize for whatever he forgot but before he could do anything Felicity looked up at him.

"Happy anniversary." She said, and then climbed up the stairs without another word.

Oh shit.

"No." Oliver said after his wife left the hallway. "No no no! Our anniversary is next week, I'm sure." He looked at his daughters, who both stood with their arms crossed, for confirmation.

"Next week is this week, daddy" sighed Amy. "I can't believe you forgot! We even made aunt Thea call to remind you."

Oliver frowned as he checked his mobile's calendar. He could have sworn that 20th of August is next week but his calendar seemed to disagree and so did Thea's unanswered call.

"I tried to warn you," said Claire as she sat on the lowest step of the stairs "I made a ring on a finger didn't I?" she said with her it's-not-my-fault-you're-an-idiot expression.

"Who on earth puts their wedding ring on their pinkie, Claire bear?" exclaimed Oliver and Amy muffled a giggle.

"And how am I supposed to know?" his daughter said with a haughty tone and threw her arms up in exasperation. "I'm only seven. I've never been married before!"

"She has a point," agreed Amy. "We can fix this; I bet mom didn't cancel anything yet." Her voice took on the same note Felicity's did when she had something planned. "You already ordered the gift like ages ago right?" Oliver nodded slowly.

"But I didn't pick it up, obviously." He elaborated and both girls sighed.

"Well then call uncle Diggle to get it," suggested Claire. "and tell him you'll give him cookies if he does."

Oliver almost grinned at that but Amy rolled her eyes the way older sisters did. "Yes call uncle Diggle and tell him, minus the cookies part, to get the gift and bring it here."

"I'm not even sure he's home yet," Oliver said guiltily as he dialed his friend of many years. "it'll be cruel to make him late." He felt bad about calling the other man but he needed to fix this somehow.

He had made the reservation and ordered the present so early in fear of forgetting, and still he forgot. Roy had been out after a particularly dangerous man all week, so both Diggle and Oliver decided to help him by taking extra hours at the lair and contacting old info sources. They finally caught the man today but it took them longer than expected and had him forgetting what day this is. It was no excuse but true all the same.

By some miracle Diggle picked up on third ring. He told Oliver that he was still out –getting takeout for dinner- and that okay he'll head to the jeweler's for the gift.

"I'm dropping it off at the restaurant," said Diggle "assuming that your sorry ass will talk her into going still," he paused for a second then added "and I'll tell them you'll be half an hour late."

"Thank you," Oliver said in relief "you're a life saver."

"Just make sure you set this straight, man." Diggle sounded sympathetic for a second but Oliver could hear his smirk as he added "you owe me big, Queen."

"Noted." Oliver said then hung up.

"That's all settled then." Amy said with a nod at her father. "Now to phase-two of operation save the anniversary" Oliver raised his eyebrows but knew better than to laugh. His daughter took her 'operations' seriously.

"Okay," She said as she went up the stairs and motioned for him to do the same. "Now we'll have to talk mom into not being too angry," he noticed that Claire had gone missing as they headed to the girls' rooms "and getting her to still go with you."

"And how are we going to do that?" The fact that he, Oliver Queen; previous vigilante of Starling city and current CEO of Queen industries, took marriage advice from two little girls wasn't lost on him. He reckoned that he honestly had no other choice at this point. It was either this or ruining it further.

"With flowers!" Came Claire's cheerful replay to his question. She emerged from her bedroom with a huge flower bouquet and a smile to match.

"Claire… Why are the flowers all bent?" Amy asked with seething calmness. For a second he could see more Oliver than Felicity in his little geek.

"They were under my bed," Claire looked thoughtfully at the flowers in her hand. "You told me to hide them."

"Who hides flowers under their bed!?" hissed Amy and Oliver's lips twitched at the entire exchange.

"Well I couldn't hide them under yours." Claire's green eyes turned stubborn as she jutted out her chin. "You would have been mad if I did that." She stated.

"That's not the point –" Amy started but Oliver cut her off.

"The flowers look great." he told both girls "But where did you get them?"

"Ever heard of the internet dad?" Amy, her mom's girl through and through, asked him. "I ordered them thinking you may forget the flowers –not the whole thing." She gave him an accusing look.

"Alright… Now to the hard part," Oliver said with a nervous smile, ignoring Amy's glare. "you two will have to help me out a bit. Talk to your mom first and then I'll go in. Say something nice to get her to smile. Say something good about your daddy" he looked pointedly at his youngest while saying the last part.

"You'll owe me ice cream" Claire matched his gaze with her own "lots and lots of ice cream. And a new toy." She bargained while Amy rolled her eyes.

"Alright," he took the flowers and nodded towards the main bedroom. "get your mommy smiling and you get whatever you want. Both of you." Amy just shook her head at that but Claire gave him a big grin. He mused that Amelia was mostly Felicity but Claire made up for that by being all him. The little one reminded him too much of his young self.

Once the girls went in, he stood at the door eavesdropping. They made it easy by talking loud enough for him to hear.

"Dad had everything ready since last week, mom" said Amy sincerely "he was just so busy he though this week is next week. Honest."

"Yes mommy," agreed Claire "he's just an idiot and forgot" she turned slightly to grin at the glaring man by the door. "It's really not his fault."

"Did your father tell you to say this?" Felicity was trying to sound stern but he could hear the amusement in her voice.

"Um… no?" said Amy hesitantly.

"Nope." Came Claire's confident answer.

He could make out the girls looking at each other briefly –they both stood across the door- then both saying "He's really sorry."

"You can come in, you know" called Felicity from somewhere inside the room. "don't let the girls do all your dirty work."

He sighed as he stepped into the room with the flowers raised like a shield. Felicity sat on their bed with her arms crossed, still wearing her dress and looking mildly irritated. He gave her his best expression of a kicked puppy then motioned for the girls to get out.

"I'm expecting those ice creams." Whispered Claire as she went by and he almost laughed right there.

"Oliver Queen, please tell me you didn't bribe our daughter with ice cream." Felicity bit her lip, clearly torn between smiling and looking mad, and he tried to look as apologetic as possible without bursting in laughter himself. "You could have at least promised something worthwhile like an entire ice cream cake." She finally cracked a smile, letting him know that he was already half forgiven.

After that it took apologies, an explanation, flirting, some promises and more sincere apologies to get her to fully smile but it was all worth it when she finally did.

Once he changed into clothes fitting the occasion they finally went out but with a slight alteration; they decided to take the girls along for dinner in appreciation of their hard work.

Needless to say, they had ice cream cake for dessert.

A/N: Sooo that was future married Olicity yay! I hope you guys found Kid!Olicity as funny as I did. I wanted to describe the girls more but this ended up much longer than I thought anyway so maybe we'll bring them back in future chapters instead -if you did like them- and explore their characters more. I personally loved writing Claire, a sassy little Queen is what I had in mind while writing her and I hope she delivered.

Just to be clear, I shouldn't be allowed near a laptop this late so whatever mistakes are up there in the story, I truly apologize for. It was all written, edited and posted between 2 and 5 AM.

Thanks for reading you awesome people, and tell me what you think of this chapter please. Did you like the girls? did you not like them? I'm waiting for your opinions!

Review!
