The Queen Jet touched down in Starling City Airport Felicity had slept for the majority of the plane ride, her nervousness of being back, being Oliver's wife had completely diminished any fear of flying she had. She and Oliver hadn't spoken since boarding the plane and she was grateful for it as it allowed her time to think and collect her thoughts. Touching down on the ground she felt that pang in her chest, the unknown, what was life going to be like she would well is married to Oliver freaking Queen. Felicity pushed all those thoughts far away, right now all she cared about was going to the hospital to see her brother.

Felicity followed Oliver to where a Bentley Car was waiting for them, the driver held the door open for them and Felicity slid in letting her head rest against the tinted windows. They drove in silence, looking out of the window Felicity recognised the direction they were headed, towards the Manor. She closed her eyes trying to get her emotions in check she was so nervous and scared of what was to come.

"You ok?" Oliver spoke for the first time since they had boarded the plane in Russia, Felicity faced him and merely nodded. Oliver licked his lips "I will introduce you to my parents and little sister, they will be told that we are already married but for my image here we will announce our engagement and get marries here soon" he explains.

"Ok" Felicity whispers seeing the gates open as they drove closer to the manor. "Oliver" she says turning to face him before having to get out of the car and be somebody else than who she was. He smiled sadly ushering her to ask her question. "When … when can I go see my mom and brother?" she asks nervously playing with her fingers.

"Soon" is all he can say because honestly he didn't know the answer to that question.

"Can …" she says as the driver opens the door, as Oliver was about to get out he turns to face her. "Can I at least see them before we announce our engagement to the world … they haven't heard from me since that night … I …" she shakes her and fights back tears.

"Of course" Oliver says placing a hand on her knee and getting out holding his hand out for her to take. Taking his hand Felicity stepped out and her eyes widened taking in the manor, photos had really not done the place justice.

Oliver opened the front door and steps were heard where a young girl with brown wavy hair threw her arms around Oliver's neck. "Ollie you're back". Oliver hugged who Felicity presumed to be his sister tightly.

"Hi" he said pulling back and planting a kiss on her forehead.

"Who's this?" Thea asks acknowledging Felicity.

Oliver puts his hand on Felicity's back bringing her closer, "Thea meet Felicity" he smiles.

"Hi Felicity" Thea smiles raising her eyebrows giving her brother the all too knowing look.

"Oliver son" Robert Queen comes in with his wife Moira in tow. Oliver hugs his father and mother. Moira Queen embraces her son but cannot keep her eyes of Felicity. She knew her son had many female acquaintances but he never brought them home. Not even his only long term relationship with Laurel Lance had the woman ever been round to the manor, despite Moira invited her to dinner many times before. The only times they had seen Laurel was if they went to dinner's or there were galas and she was present.

"And who is this young … girl" Moira says looking at her son.

Oliver closes his eyes at his mother's harsh tone "This is Felicity" he holds out his hand for her to take and Moira immediately saw the rings around their fingers and stiffened. "My wife" he says smiling meeting shocked faces.

"Hi" Felicity says not knowing whether she needed to talk or not in that situation. Felicity looked at Oliver's family and saw faces of horror, shock and disgust.

"Oliver can I talk to you" Roberts says gritting his teeth as Moira follows them into the studio.

Thea remains behind for a moment looking over at Felicity, "Erm… this is much unexpected I hope we can get to know each other Felicity" Thea says turning on her heels and heading to the study.

Felicity smiles probably for the first time in a long time at the little Queen but she knew it wouldn't last once Oliver explained why they had gotten married. Felicity sat down on the stairs and took a deep breath.

What seemed like hours Oliver and his parents finally left the study and Felicity quickly stood up. She saw the angry looks on all of their faces. She saw the dirty looks Moira Queen was giving her no doubt thinking of her as some whore. Oliver takes her hand and quickly leads her upstairs away from his parents prying eyes.

"You ok?" she asks needing him to tell her something.

"Yes" he nods taking a seat on his bed running his hand in his hair.

"Let me guess they didn't take it well when you told them you married a kidnapped turned into a prostitute girl" she laughed and Oliver glared at her and she quickly stopped.

"They don't know, I never told them that part … yes some men marry in the Bratva, daughters and some will marry other women … whores" he whispers the last part "but I told them … Dimitri suggested you as he knew your father, Dimitri will have no problem telling my parents this as well" he says.

"What?" she says confused, "hang on … I don't understand"

"I don't want them to know even though it wasn't your fault Felicity I don't want my family or anyone to know … call you a whore" he says sternly. Felicity blinks a few times and nods, she doesn't really know why she nodded, and she didn't know if it was in appreciation that they didn't know the true story. Or because when it came to Oliver she felt the need to oblige to be the image of a good wife.

"Give it a few days and we will announce our engagement" he says getting up and heading to bathroom. Felicity takes a seat on the couch and closes her eyes for the love of god what had her life become she thought to herself.

"Erm Oliver" she calls, "If engagement is in a few days when can I go see my brother?" she asks.

Oliver opens the door and looks at her and she can see something in his eyes which looks like regret. "After the engagement, we will announce the engagement in house to friends and family, you will go see yours and then we will announce it to the world"

"What?" she screeches. "No I … can't wait I don't even know if my brother is still alive please" she pleads with him.

"Felicity" he says and she knows right away that there was no arguing or trying to change his mind on this as she heard it in his voice. Oliver hates having to do that but he couldn't risk her going out and anyone noticing her before the announcement. He sees the tears that spill from her eyes as she retreats back to the couch taking of her shoes and snuggling into a cocoon. Oliver rests his head on the wall angry and himself silently slamming his head against the wall several times.

Oliver changes into casual wear and can tell that Felicity hasn't fallen asleep from her uneven breathing. Oliver knows she is pretending to be asleep to avoid talking to him so he goes to her and tries to lift her to take her to the bed but she pushes him away. "Please take the bed" he says.

"It's your bed I'm fine here" she turns so she is facing the back of the couch.

Oliver leaves her alone it is about 6pm and he heads to have dinner with his family, he didn't want to wake her he knew she was jetlag and didn't think it was best for her tired self to take on his family just yet.

After dinner and another argument with his parents Oliver went to bed early, he too was jetlagged and tired. Coming into his room he found Felicity fast asleep on the couch deciding not to move her and risk waking her he laid on his bed and closed his eyes.

Felicity's eyes opened she had planned it in her head, she wanted to wait for the right moment. She listened carefully until she was sure that Oliver was definitely asleep. Felicity got up picked up her sneakers and tiptoed out of the room. Felicity tiptoed down the stairs and out of the house quickly making a run for it. When Oliver was having dinner Felicity had gone through his wallet and took some money out. Running faster than she thought possible she finally made it to a road and she started to walk hoping for a cab to drive past. After what seemed like endless cars and no cabs Felicity finally spotted a yellow cab. Hailing it she heads towards the hospital.

Once there Felicity runs towards Roy's room flinging the door open. She gasps and falls to her knees when she sees it's empty. The room is dark and the bed is made and Felicity breaks down. She pulls her knees to her chest and rocks back and forth at her loss. Felicity stands wanting to get out of there not caring where she goes, she just needed to get out. Felicity turns on her heels and runs straight into something hard.

Felicity is steadied by strong arms and she sees Oliver glaring at her burning holes into her skin. Felicity pulls out of his embrace and backs away.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Oliver says shutting the door behind him.

"Stay away from me, I don't care if you kill me just … he is gone" she cries backing away.

Oliver's posture lightens "Hey he is fine I had them give him his own room on the private floor upstairs" Felicity stops crying and searches his eyes to tell whether he really is telling the truth.

"Come on" he says taking her hand and leading her upstairs. Oliver opens the door to Roy's room once the nurse had shown them where it was. Generally speaking visiting hours were over but Oliver was able to persuade the nurse to let them go in. Felicity stepped in and saw Roy attached to his drip fast asleep. Felicity notices her mother fast asleep in the seat next to him holding his hand. Felicity walks round and caresses his cheek planting a kiss on his forehead.

Roy shifts and opens his eyes seeing his sister. "Flick" he says trying to sit up.

"Hey shh ok, go back to sleep" she says sadly.

"Where have you been … we thought … we called the police and the ambassador in Russia we thought …" Roy said letting go of his mother's hand and pulling his sister in for a hug which she gladly accepts.

Felicity's mother Donna stirs from hearing the voices and wakes up to find her daughter there. "Felicity" she says running round the bed and throwing her arms around her daughter. "Oh sweetie where on earth have you been, are you alright, I thought … we thought … missed you so much, I love you" she kisses Felicity several times on the cheek.

"I'm ok mom, I love you too both of you" she looks at Roy.

Donna pulls back and sees Oliver standing by the door. "Oh hello" she says looking at Felicity questioning her who the man is.

"Mom this is Oliver … Queen" she says.

"Oh my, hello Mr Queen" Donna says.

"Hello Mrs Smoak" Oliver nods.

"Oh its actually Ms Harper, never married my babies daddy" she smiles and Felicity rolls her eyes. "Erm so what are you doing here Mr Queen"

Oliver regrets the words that are about to leave his mouth but to avoid any further confusion or risks of things getting out he has to tell them the truth. "Well me and Felicity are married" he says as Roy and Donna both start laughing. Donna looks at Felicity and notices the ring on her finger and immediately stops laughing.

"Flick?" she questions and Roy looks at his mother's gaze and notices the rings.

"I … can we talk" Felicity says.

"Let me get this straight you leave to Russia we think you have murdered, dead, raped and you have gone and gotten married … when you went to look for Sebastian" Donna shouts. "We have been waiting and waiting and it didn't matter that we hadn't heard that you found him but we were so scared" Donna begins to shake. "But you got yourself married, didn't you care …"

"Mom of course I did"

"No, no Felicity never call me that again get out" Donna yells and Oliver can hear nurse's approaches.

"Felicity" Roy says and she can see the look of betrayal in his eyes.

"Please just let me explain" Felicity's breathe hitches. The nurses come in asking what all the commotion is about and Felicity watches as her mother tells them to get Felicity and Oliver out of there. Felicity tries to protest but can see the hurt in her families eyes.

Once they are outside the hospital Felicity is still in shock of what happened. "Felicity" Oliver begins.

"Don't" she holds her finger up at him. "Don't you couldn't just let me go in there alone, given me some time, how dare you" she shouts.

"You left the house after I told you we needed to wait" he yells back.

"I am not a prisoner or am I because if I am then …"

"Then what"

"Please just let me go" she begs.

"Felicity" he says softly reaching her and cupping her face brushing away her tears. "I … I know you don't like this, there was no other way to get you out there, this isn't just about you, if they find out this is fake, that we ended things they will kill us both" Oliver explains.

"They will come after your family and mine, Felicity I am looking out for them"

Felicity nods, she knows all of this but it still doesn't make it easy. "I know Oliver I know, I just … I'm not my own person anymore, I don't make any decisions for myself, it's my life it should be my choice". Oliver walks her back until her knees meet the bonnet of the car, he lifts her up and seats her the bonnet standing over her.

"I know and I am so sorry, honestly this is the last thing I want for you … but once we make an announcement it should be easier" he says.

"How?"

"Felicity once people know we are engaged then you can go back to work at QC, you can see your family, I am not going to stop you from having a life, I am not going to keep you locked up in the mansion".

"Promise" she whispers.

"I promise" he whispers back his face inches from hers, his lips twitching to kiss her.

"Oliver" she closes her eyes licking her lips and pulling back.

"Your mom and brother will come round" Oliver puts his hands in his pockets looking at her.

"Can I tell them at least the truth, they will not believe the whole father Dimitri thing"

Oliver thinks about what she says "I … ok" he has taken so much away from her he needed to compromise on this, "Tell them but you have to swear them to secrecy Felicity".

"I will" she smiles and Oliver sees the way her face brightens up immediately, grateful that he gave her something to smile about. "So what now" she moves from side to side and Oliver can't help but laugh.

"We go home, come back in the morning and you talk to your family" he says.

"Ok" she jumps down and goes round into the car. Oliver joins her and they drive home.

The following morning Felicity arrives at the hospital and sees her family explaining to them everything that had happened. "So" Felicity says.

"I am calling the police" Donna says.

"No you can't mom please, you don't understand the Bratva is everywhere even police and mom if they find out what happened we will all be at risk even the Queens"

"Sweetheart he … he has taken your life and he now dictates it"

"Mom I'm married but Oliver has said he won't stop me from living my life I will just … need to be with him, faithful and all that and give him children"

"Sweety you don't love him"

"Mom … maybe I will some day in the future especially if I am baring his children … mom please he … he did save me mom I could have been a … and had men …" she stops and closes her eyes hoping she has said enough to her mother to convince her otherwise.

"Ok, I will drop it for now but if Oliver Queen so much as raises a hand to you … Bratva or no Bratva he is a dead man" Donna says kissing her daughter.

"I would never" A voice says. Oliver enters the room to find his wife and his mother-in-law talking.

"You better not"

"Felicity has told you the lie I have told my parents?" Oliver questions.

"Yes, I will go with it" Donna says.

"Good where is Roy?"

"Doctors are looking him over" Felicity smiles sadly looking away.

Donna leaves the room to answer the phone leaving Oliver and Felicity alone again. "You might love me someday" he smirks.

"Oh don't flatter yourself" she laughs.

"Seriously" he looks at her wanting her to tell him the truth.

"Well you know … maybe … if I have children … we have children" her mouth continues moving but it doesn't say anything.

Oliver grins and kisses her cheek then whispering in her ear "I might love you too" he says and Felicity feels a heat at the pit of her stomach butterflies going crazy in her stomach. Felicity closes her eyes and nods, damn the man he had a way of making her feel a certain way and the majority of the time she nodded so easily.

Ok here's the next chapter I'm not really proud of it but hopefully by the next chapter I might feel some inspiration.
