Title Of Story: Second Chances
Chapter Number: 5
Chapter Name: Surprise Visit

Oliver
Felicity was very good at covering her tracks and since I walked out on her I haven't seen her again. I knew that she had to have kept in touch with someone but everyone that I could think of hadn't heard from her but there was one person… Ray Palmer. I knew he wouldn't tell me where Felicity was but I'm pretty sure that The Arrow would be able to get it out him, I just needed an address or a phone number or something… just something that will get me in touch with her so I can make sure that Felicity and my child are ok.

I grabbed my arrow and changed into my Arrow suit before leaving The Foundry, thankfully Diggle wasn't here tonight I didn't have to answer to Diggle. Diggle had been trying to help me find them but I think he was starting to have less faith that we would actually get to find them.

When I got what used to be Queen Consolidated I got into Ray's office and saw him sitting at his desk, working away at his computer. He was so engrossed in what he was doing he hadn't even noticed me watching him "Ray Palmer?" I questioned. He jumped up from his seat and looked panicked at me.

"Please don't hurt me" He pleaded.

"I won't… if you answer my questions" I said.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"Felicity Smoak used to work here… where does she live now?" I asked him.

"I don't know" He answered but I could tell he was lying, I grabbed an arrow and loaded my bow and aimed it at him. Of course I wouldn't kill him but hit his hand or shoulder or something so he knew that I meant business "Ok, she lives in Vegas" He told me.

"Where?" I demanded.

"I'll write it down" He said and grabbed a pen then wrote something down on a piece of paper "Here" He said and handed it out to me.

"Tell me about her child" I said.

"She has a daughter called Madelyn who is four tomorrow… she's Oliver Queen's daughter" He told me.

When I left the office I went back to The Foundry and when I walked down the stairs I saw Diggle sitting in Felicity's old chair facing me, I walked towards him and placed my bow down on the table "Where you been?" He asked me.

"I went and had a word with Ray Palmer" I replied.

"Why?" He asked.

"Felicity has to have stayed in touch with someone" I answered.

"And did you find anything out?" He questioned.

"I've got an address and I also have a daughter called Madelyn who is four tomorrow" I said.

"Wow… what are you going to do?" He asked.

"Pay Felicity a visit" I answered.

When I finally got to Vegas it took me another hour or so driving to get to Felicity's place. On the way I had stopped at a toy store I saw to get my daughter a gift, I wasn't sure what sort of stuff she was into. It was so bad that as her father I didn't know what sort of things she was into but after looking around I decided to get her the Disney Dollhouse which came with a couple of the Disney princess'. The lady in the store let me buy wrapping paper and wrap it on the counter, she also gave me a gift bag to put the present it.

Eventually I made it to Felicity's house and I pulled up outside in the car and just sat there staring at the house. It seemed that since moving to Vegas Felicity had done alright for herself, the house is in a nice area away from the strip clubs and casinos and the house itself was very nice. I wanted to go and knock on the door but I couldn't bring myself to even get out of the car, I know Felicity won't be happy to see me and she'll probably throw me out.

With it being Madelyn's birthday I didn't want to upset Felicity or anyone so I decided that I would just leave the present on the doorstep and pay Felicity later on tonight when Madelyn was sure to be in bed. Of course I know I shouldn't see her today but now that I'm here I need to make sure Felicity knows how sorry I am for walking out and I need her to know that I'm never going to do it again.

When Felicity told me she was pregnant I just freaked out and thought about all the negative things. I didn't think about any of the good stuff and then Felicity was gone and I knew I had blown it big time… even for me. I just want the chance to prove to Felicity that I can be a father if I'm allowed to be.

After dropping the present off at the front door I had to get in the car and drive away before I saw Felicity. I know as soon as I saw her I wouldn't be able to turn around and leave, I would stay and I would probably end up Madelyn's birthday which is something I would never want to do. As soon as I drove away from the house I wanted to turn around and head straight back to the house so I could knock on the door, kiss Felicity and make things right again.

My phone started ringing so I answered on the Bluetooth "Hello?" I said as I answered.

"Hey… just checking in" Diggle's voice said.

"I haven't seen her yet" I stated "I got Madelyn a present and left it on the doorstep… I couldn't face yet because I know I wouldn't want to leave" I said.

"You're going to have to see her soon Oliver if you want to be apart of your daughters life" He said.

"Yes I know and that is why I plan on going over later tonight when Madelyn's more then likely gone to bed and Felicity will have no visitors" I told him.

"That's assuming that she don't live with anyone else" Diggle added.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I questioned, getting annoyed.

"Four years is a long time Oliver… she could've moved on by now and found someone else. I know you still love her and you want things to work out but I think you need to be prepared for the chance that things may not go like that" He explained to me.

"Dig I've been thinking about that already. I know that someone like Felicity can get any sort of guy she wants… I'm not stupid" I replied.

"Ok well… I have to go, Sara is making a fuss and Lyla is still at work" He told me.

"Ok I'll speak to you soon…" I said and the two of us hung up.

I know I wasn't a billionaire anymore but I managed to find a hotel and I booked a room for a couple of nights, that way I have some time to convince Felicity to give me a second chance. I know it's going to take more then one late night visit from me, when she sees me tonight she's going to be in shock, she's going to be angry and confused. Tonight I'll let everything sink in then I'll come back and hopefully the two of us can talk and I'll be allowed to meet my daughter for the first time. Something was telling me that this was going to be a long night but I was hoping it was going to be a very useful night that was going to bring me back to my girls…. Yes my girls. How weird is that to say? My girls.

At 9:30pm I decided I was going to see Felicity, surely Madelyn would be in bed by now and Felicity wouldn't have any other visitors and I can talk to her… if she doesn't slam the door on me obviously. It didn't take me long to get there from the hotel and once there I saw a light on upstairs on the landing and one on in what looked like the living room meaning that she was still awake.

I walked to the front door and knocked once and I heard some shuffling behind the door and then the locked clicked, the front door opened and Felicity stood there with her glasses on, hair in a pony tail and in her jammies… she never looked more beautiful in her life "Hello Felicity" I said trying my best to stay calm.

DUN DUN DUN! What do you Felicity's reaction is going to be? What do you think will happen between the two of them? Do you think Oliver will get a chance to meet his daughter? Will he make things up to Felicity and Madelyn? So many questions that need to be answered. I hope you enjoyed the chapter but I do apologise for it being short but I thought it was a nice little cliff hanger to leave it at. That's chapter 2 of 7 now guys, what do you all think?. I hope you all review, follow and favourite this story and me... Love you beautiful people XX
