Title Of Story: Second Chances
Chapter Number: 3
Chapter Name: Mama Smoak

Felicity
When Oliver walked out that front door I decided that I wasn't going to be played backwards and forwards. Him walking out was him making his mind up, I didn't plan on sitting around for however long for to change his mind and I wasn't going to beg him to be a father or be with me. If he wanted to walk out instead of talking through everything with me and deciding things with me then that was down to him. I started packing my things 2 minutes after he walked out the door, it didn't take me long to pack as I just threw things in the suitcases instead of neatly folding them. I grabbed my pictures and other small personal things before writing Oliver a letter;

Oliver,
I know that you're angry and I know you didn't want a baby yet but I can't believe you actually walked out on me. That moment told me exactly what sort of man you are and I'm glad that I found out now and not when our child is 6 years old and asking where daddy's gone. When I have the baby I will tell him/her that you're his/her father and if he/she wants to come and find you in the future I won't stop him/her. You can be the one to explain to your child how you walked out when you found out I was pregnant. Being The Arrow is important to you and if being The Arrow is the reason you don't want to be a father then you better make it worth while Oliver… you're the one missing out not me. I know the sacrifices you've made and I feel in the love that Oliver, not the Oliver you've become over the past couple months… I don't know what happened to you but I miss the old Oliver and I want him back. It's a shame that me and you have to end this way because I know that I will never stop loving you, no matter what, you're the only man I have ever loved… really loved. I wish you all the best in the future and please tell Diggle, Sara, Lyla, Laurel, Detective Lance and Roy that I will miss them but I'm sure I will see them again one day… in the far future.
My love forever and always
Felicity

The letter took me longer then I expected to write but now it was done and before I could change my mind and I packed my things in my car and I left the apartment. I started driving to the one place I knew I wouldn't be turned away and that was to see my mom in Vegas… although I know I should let her know I'm coming so she can call in at work tonight to let them know she won't be coming.

"Hello?" I heard her say when she answered.

"Hi mom" I replied.

"Felicity!" She exclaimed "Hiya sweetie!" she said.

"How are you?" I asked her.

"You sound like you've been crying… what's happened?" She asked me. I could fell tears started to well up in my eyes and blind my vision so I decided to pull over "Sweetie, you're making me nervous. What's happened to you?" She asked me again.

"Oh my God mom my life is a mess" I stated.

"Why?" She asked.

"Oliver left me" I stated.

"Oh honey I'm sorry I know you loved him but I promise you that with your brain and looks you'll be fighting them off… don't let him destroy you" She said.

"Mom I'm pregnant" I blurted out.

I felt bad that I was telling her over the phone instead of face to face but I think she needs to know why I'm so upset over mine and Oliver's break up "By Oliver?" She asked confused.

"Yes" I replied.

"So what happened? He doesn't seem that kind of guy to walk away" She told me.

"He walked out because he's not ready to be a father. I didn't think he was that sort of guy either until he walked out… Diggle told me that Oliver would be there and he would stand by me but he did the opposite" I said.

"I'm sorry honey… want me to get a few days off from work and come see you?" She questioned.

"Actually I'm on my way to you… is it ok if I stay with you for a while?" I asked her.

"Of course!" She said straight away… without hesitation.

"Ok thank you… I'll be a few hours but I just wanted to let you know the situation and ask if I could stay" I stated.

"It's not a problem sweetie… you know I'll be here and I'll do what I can for you and my grandbaby, I'll see you in a few hours. I love you" She said and hung up.

It took me a few hours but I eventually made it to my moms place and as soon as I pulled in on the driveway she came straight outside to greet me. She hugged me as soon as I had stepped out of the car and then helped me take all my bags in, once she put the bags down she hugged me again and this time I started crying "Mom I can't believe he actually walked out on me! He actually left" I said to her.

"I know it's horrible but you're going to get through it" She promised.

"I can't do it on my own… I'm not strong like you" I told her as I pulled away from the embrace.

"You listen to me Felicity Smoak… you are a very intelligent, strong, beautiful and amazing woman. You can do anything you want to do, you can raise this baby on your own but I want you to know that I'll be here every step of the way and I'll never leave you" She said.

I was about to reply when my moms phone rang out loudly, she picked it and showed me the screen, Oliver's name was flashing up… he was calling my mom! "I'm not here" I told her and she nodded.

"Hello Oliver" She said in her normal cheery voice.

"Hello Ms Smoak… I was just seeing if Felicity was with you" I heard him reply.

"No she's not… why? What's happened?" She questioned.

"We've had a falling out and I wanted to make sure she was ok, if she does get into contact with you… please can you tell her to call me?" He asked her.

"Sure" She replied.

"Thank you, goodbye" He said and before my mom could reply he hung up the phone.

Oliver
Donna said that Felicity wasn't with her but Diggle managed to get a ping from Felicity's phone a couple hours ago and she was heading in the direction of Vegas. It made sense that Felicity would go and see her mom during a time like this when she thought that I was leaving her and not standing up to my responsibilities as a father. She needed to know that I'm scared about becoming a father but now I've had time to calm down and think about it for most of the day I'm coming round to the idea. I need to tell Felicity that I will stand by her and be a father but she's not talking to me and I really think I blew it this time.

"Any joy?" Diggle asked.

"No… Donna said Felicity wasn't with her" I told him.

"I can't ping her phone, she's taken the battery out but I have an alert set up so when she does put the battery back in, I'll get a trace from it" He said.

"Thanks" I replied.

"Look this time next week you two will be back together, everything will be back to normal and we'll all be laughing about what happened today" He told me to try and make me feel a little better.

"No it's not Diggle. I walked out on Felicity when she told me she was pregnant and now she's dropped off the face of the Earth, I've messed up big time" I stated.
