Chapter Thirteen

…

"Lyla and Diggle are heading over to the gardens now," Felicity said, as she put her phone in her pocket. She was feeling huge today with some back pain, but she wasn't going to let that stop her from going with the others. They hardly ever got to hang out outside of work, and they all needed it.

"Well I'm ready when you are," Oliver said, kissing her forehead.

"I'm ready too," Thea said, joining them by the door. She pulled on her light sweater, then opened the door. She jumped back a little in surprise. Lance was on the other side, getting ready to knock.

"Oh," he said, clearly surprised as well.

"Hey captain Lance," Thea said. "Can we help you with something?" she asked, praying the answer was no. She really needed this day off.

"Just need to speak with Oliver for a moment," Lance replied, looking at Oliver. "If you have a minute."

"Yeah," Oliver replied. "Why don't you two wait in the car?" he suggested to the girls. They both nodded, before leaving them alone.

"Look uh. I know that we haven't always seen eye to eye, but I wanted to thank you for yesterday. You didn't let Laurel lose her head, and you saved a lot of good men. I still don't like the way you get things done, but this city is better with you than without you." Lance held out his hand then, hoping Oliver would accept his apology.

Oliver took Lance's hand. "Thank you," he said, really meaning it.

"Okay," Lance said, with a nod. "I won't keep you any longer." Lance was about to leave, but paused. "Congratulations, by the way. On the baby," he said, nodding to the car where Felicity was. "That's a good woman you got there. Smart."

Oliver smiled. "I know she is, and thank you." He followed behind Lance, until he got to the car. He slid into the driver seat and smiled at Felicity.

"What was that about?" she asked. She had been a little worried, but the smile on his face was a good sign. Thea leaned forward in the back seat to hear his answer as well.

"He was thanking me for yesterday, and congratulated me on the baby." With that he started the car, and made their way to the gardens.

…

"I've always loved lilies," Felicity said, as they followed the path through the flowers. They had just split up from the group so they could be alone.

"I never knew that," Oliver replied. There was still so much to learn about her.

"Do you think that someday you will know everything there is to know about me?" She asked. They had come across a small bridge, and she was now leaning on the railing. She looked at him, waiting for an answer.

"I would like to think that someday we would know each other very well," Oliver replied.

Felicity looked out over the small pond. "It's a little scary I think, for someone to know you so well." She laughed a little. "I guess that's a price you pay when you're in love. You become vulnerable."

Oliver joined her, leaning on the railing as well. It was so peaceful here. It seemed a million miles from Starling City, yet they were still there. The birds chirped overhead, and the pond beneath them seemed impossibly still. "Love makes you vulnerable; that's why I'm afraid to love you. People can use you against me." He paused a moment, taking her hand. "But not being with you is impossible."

Felicity smiled, unable to help herself. She didn't always get to see this side of Oliver, but she loved it when it came out.

"I can't believe I've never been here before," she told him with laughter. "It's so beautiful."

She stopped laughing and became serious. "What about Nyssa? What became of her after Ra's died?"

"I thought she would leave the league, but I believe she's trying to become the new Ra's."

"Right, because in return for his help, you had to make Malcom the new Ra's," Felicity stated. He had told her how Malcom had fit into all of this. "But she's your wife, right?" She hated this little fact. It made her jealous even though she knew there was nothing to be jealous over.

"Only in the eyes of the league," Oliver replied. "It's not legal here."

She nodded. There wasn't much else to say on the subject, so she changed it. So, have you thought of a middle name yet?"

Oliver laughed a little. "Turns out I'm not so good at picking names."

Felicity laughed too, but there was something off about it. Oliver looked at her now with worry. "You okay?" She sounded a little like something was wrong.

"No. I'm not great at picking names either. Took Thea and me forever to pick Olivia. I actually vetoed it at first, but it grew on me."

They started walking again, and Felicity felt what she suspected was another contraction. They found the others, who were laying out lunch.

"Turkey or Ham?" Thea asked her.

"I think you better think of a middle name quick," Felicity replied confusing them all. "Because either I just peed myself, or my water broke, and I vote the latter."

…

"Everything is looking great," the nurse said, checking Felicity's cervix. "You're two centimeters along, and the baby is doing great." She took off her gloves, picked up the chart, and gave Felicity a smile. "Anything I can get you?" she asked.

"No," Felicity replied with a smile. She watched the nurse leave before looking at Oliver. "Are you ready?" she asked. "Because I may not be. I mean I know that I had months to prepare, and we have everything we need, but what if I have no idea what to do? What if she doesn't like me!"

"Felicity," Oliver said, saying her name lowly, emphasizing all the syllables. "Our daughter will love you. She's going to have the best person I know as a mother."

Felicity smiled, and put her hand on his cheek. "You're so sweet." She sat up a little as a contraction started. She did her best to keep the pain to herself, but as time when on the pain seemed to worsen. Luckily, she was still able to play it down. At least for now.

"Hey," Thea said, walking in with two suite cases. "I got the bags, and I put the car seat in the car."

"Thank you," Oliver replied.

"You packed us bags?" Felicity asked, suddenly nervous. "Why didn't I think to pack the bags? People do that right? Pack them like weeks before the baby is born so it's ready whenever? What if you forgot something?"

Thea laughed a little. "I didn't pack the bags, I just picked them up," Thea replied. "Oliver packed them."

Felicity looked at him. "You thought to pack the bags?" She asked.

"I did it a few days ago while you were out getting ice-cream." He smiled at her. "And don't worry, I'm sure I got everything."

Felicity took a deep breath. "Okay," she said. She was silent for a little while. She felt like her emotions where all over the place, and she couldn't decide how she felt. She was happy and nervous. Scared and excited.

"How are you doing?" Lyla asked, as she and Diggle came in. She gave Felicity a pink bear that said "It's a girl" and hugged her.

"Okay. Emotional," Felicity replied, with a smile.

Three hours in

"Oh. Ow! Ow!" Felicity groaned, as yet another contraction rocked through her. Oliver held her hand, ans talked her through it. They were three hours in, and they were getting increasingly more painful.

"How do woman do this!" she asked. She knew child birth was painful, but this was crazy. It didn't even hurt this bad when she got shot.

"You're doing great," Oliver told her. He held her hand, rubbing his thumb in circles to sooth her. He only wished he could do more. There was nothing worse than her hurting, and him unable to do something about it.

Ten hours in

"Only five centimeters!" Felicity exclaimed. She was exhausted and the pain was becoming unbearable. She looked over to Oliver in earnest. "I don't think I can do it. Maybe I'm not built for this."

Oliver smiled at her. "You're doing an amazing job. You can do anything. And think, you get to hold your baby girl in the end."

"We can give you an epidural now if you want it," the nurse informed them.

"Oh, please," Felicity replied. She needed anything that would take the edge off.

…..

Oliver walked into the waiting room, and took a deep breath. He had never seen a needle that big before, and he couldn't believe they stuck it into her. Yikes.

"She doing okay?" Thea asked. She was there, along with John, Lyla, Laurel, and Ray. Donna had showed up right after Felicity got the epidural. She was in there with her now.

"Yeah, she's sleeping at the moment." Oliver replied. "She's only five centimeters along."

"We were just talking about getting some food, so I think since she's only that far, we will," Thea said. "I'm starving."

There was a round of "Me toos" and they all gathered their things. Everyone but Diggle left. And he looked at Oliver with a questioning look.

"You okay man?" he asked Oliver.

"I'm…I've never been so scared in my life. What if I can't protect her?"

Diggle chuckled. He didn't need to asked who he was talking about. "It's scary. I'm not going to lie. You've got this baby, small and helpless. She will depend on you and need you constantly."

"You're not helping."

"But you will protect her because there will be nothing more important than her. When I had Sara I was where you are now. Scared and having no idea how I would protect her from our world. But there isn't a moment when I don't know where she is or who she's with. You can do this."

Oliver nodded as he took a deep breath. "I sure hope so."

Twenty Hours In

"Breathe," Oliver said softly. He couldn't believe it was taking this long, but apparently this wasn't out of the ordinary.

"Okay," Dr. Morris said, as he walked in. "I hear we are ready to start pushing?"

Thea took that as her que, and kissed Oliver's cheek before leaving. Donna moved to take Felicity's hand on the opposite side of Oliver.

"Okay," Dr. Morris said once he was ready. "Now, with the next contraction I want you to push." he told her. "Okay," he said when the contraction came on. "Push," he said, then started the countdown.

Felicity pushed as hard as she could. And again. And again. She was in pain and exhausted. After twenty minutes she began to get worked up and worried.

"Okay, we are doing well. A few more big pushes and she will be out."

"I can't," Felicity cried. She was too tired.

"You can to it, Baby," Oliver said, kissing her forehead. "You can do this. Just a few more pushes."

"It's okay to feel this way, Sweetie. Most woman do," Donna said next.

A few pushes later, the doctor announced that he could see her head. Felicity gave one last push and Olivia was brought into the world.

Oliver and Felicity cried tears of joy as Olivia was placed on Felicity's chest. "Oh my god," Felicity said tearfully. "She's so tiny," She added. She looked up at Oliver and fell in love with him all over again. He was looking at Olivia with so much love it was almost tangible.

Donna beamed with pride as she watched Felicity and Oliver cry over their joy. She had tears in her eyes as well, and couldn't wait to hold her. It was such a great feeling being a grandma, and it had just started.

….

Oliver watched as they cleaned Olivia and took her measurements. Six pounds, seven ounces, and nineteen inches. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe the way he felt for someone he just met. It was like the entire world shifted to revolve around this one tiny person.

His heart melted as they placed her in his arms, and he now knew what Diggle had meant. He would keep her safe, because there was no other option. Nothing in this world would ever harm her if he had anything to do with it. He suddenly understood why his mother did the things she had done. He may have just become a father, but he already knew there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for her.

He rocked Olivia as he brought her over to Felicity. He carefully passed Olivia to her, and there it was. His entire life in one bed. The love of his life, and the baby who represented it.

Donna hugged him, and he hugged her in return. "Congratulations, Dad," she beamed.

"You too, Grandma," Oliver replied. They both laughed, then Oliver wiped a tear off his cheek as he excused himself. He needed to inform the others of her arrival.

"Six pounds, seven ounces, and nineteen inches of perfection! Baby and mommy are doing fine," he announced as he walked into the waiting room. A round of "congratulations" were given. Laurel, Ray, and Lyla all hugged him. John shook his hand, then he, too, pulled him into a hug. Thea cried as she hugged him. She couldn't believe she was an aunt.

"How does it feel be a father?" Thea asked, beaming.

Oliver laughed nervously, and luckily he didn't have to do more than that because Donna came in at that point. He wouldn't even be able to put into words how it feels. The only word that came to mind was emotional.

…

Oliver sat on the bed with Felicity, one arm around her, and the other hand stroking Olivia's cheek. She was so soft and small.

Donna had stepped out to give them some privacy, and it made him think of his own mother. Despite everything she had done, he still wished she could be here.

"What are you thinking about?" Felicity asked. He looked lost in thought.

"I've just been thinking a lot about my mother. She would have liked to see this." He smiled at her, and kissed her forehead. "I know she hasn't always been the best person, but I miss her."

Felicity nodded and looked down at Olivia, who was sleeping. She had thought Oliver would have asked for her middle name to be Moira, but now it occurred to her that maybe he was afraid to even suggest it. "What do you think of Olivia Moira Queen?" Felicity asked him.

Oliver looked at her surprised, and he couldn't believe that he just fell in love with her even more. "You would do that?" he asked surprised. He knew that Felicity didn't care for his mother.

"You loved your mother, and whatever else she did, she loved you, too, and if you want, I don't mind it."

Oliver leaned down, and kissed her. He was thrilled to have her in his life. Lucky to have her love him. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Felicity replied. She looked down at her bundle, and she could barely contain the love she felt for her. "Welcome to the world, Olivia Moira Queen."

"She looks even smaller in her crib," Felicity said quietly, as she and Oliver looked down at Olivia. This was their first night home with her, and both were a little nervous about it.

"Yeah she does," Oliver replied. He put his hands on Felicity's shoulders and gently rubbed them. "We should sleep, too. She will be up in a few hours," he suggested.

Felicity didn't say anything. Truth be told, she was scared to leave Olivia alone. She kept imagining Drake would show up, and kidnap her. Not that he could. She knew he was dead, but still. "You go ahead. I'm going to stay here."

Oliver looked at her. "Sweetie, she's going to be fine."

"I know but what if something happens and we aren't here?" Felicity asked worried.

"That's why we have the baby monitors, and we are just across the hall. "Come on, you've hardly slept for days."

Felicity looked back at Olivia, then nodded. He was right, she would be fine. "Okay."

….

It felt like her head had just hit the pillow when she heard the soft cries coming from the baby monitor. She felt Oliver get out of bed as he said, "I'll get her." Felicity rolled over, to see what time it was. It was one in the morning. Olivia had slept for three hours which seemed about right.

"It's okay," she could hear Oliver coo to Olivia through the monitor. She smiled as she listened. "Oh, it's okay, Sweetheart." She could hear a bag rattle, suggesting he was changing her. Olivia still fussed, but she seemed more content with his company. "Okay, let's get you fed," he said, his tone still coo-like.

"I think she's hungry, Mommy," he said as he came into the room. He waited while Felicity got comfortable before handing Olivia to her. He watched as Felicity settled Olivia at her breast, and he couldn't help but smile. "I'm going to get a drink from the kitchen. Do you want anything?"

"Water," Felicity replied without looking up from the baby. She still couldn't believe that she was here, and she couldn't believe how she could love someone this much.

Oliver nodded, and went to the kitchen where he found Thea. She was eating a bowl of cereal looking tired. "You okay?" he asked, as he pulled two waters from the fridge.

"Yeah, I'm just overtired. I'll be fine." She drank her milk, rinsed her bowl, then put it and the spoon in the dishwasher. "See you in the morning," she said before leaving.

Oliver grabbed a banana from the bowl on the counter before going back up to his room. He gave the water and banana to Felicity. She accepted both of them happily.

"You realize this will last for a while? Getting up every four hours?" Felicity said, as Oliver got into bed.

Oliver nodded. "I know." He kissed Felicity's cheek. "That's part of being a dad."

Six Months Later

"We never discussed what to do about the holidays," Felicity said. "He turned left at Newman drive," she added.

Oliver made the sudden left before replying. "I'm not sure this is the best time to discuss this."

"Why not celebrate both?" Thea suggested. She was just a few feet behind Oliver and was gaining speed.

"Turn left again at Second and Third."

They did as instructed, and the thief found himself outnumbered. Diggle was blocking his exit on the other side, and Oliver and Thea weren't letting him go anywhere on their end. Oliver drew his bow. "You're finished."

…..

"Do you think we should do both?" Felicity asked as they walked into the foundry. She stood, Olivia fast asleep in the harness Felicity wore. Oliver kissed Felicity's forehead, then the top of Olivia's head.

"That girl could sleep through a tornado," He commented as he set down his quiver and bow. "As far as the holidays go, I'm open to celebrating both if you're comfortable with it."

"Christmukkah?" Felicity said, putting Christmas and Hanukkah together. "Or Hanumas?" She giggled.

Oliver laughed too. "Okay it's settled. This year we celebrate Hanumas."

"I like Christmukkah better," Felicity said. "It's more fun to say. Christmukkah."

"Okay," Oliver said with laughter. "Christmukkah."

Three Months Later

Oliver sat in front of Olivia's highchair. They were trying peas for the first time, and he loved introducing her to new food. "Choo choo," he said, imitating a train. Olivia giggled and opened her mouth wide once the spoon got close enough.

Felicity smiled as she watched this. There was nothing hotter than a man who adored his child and did adorable things with them. Here sat The Arrow, badass by night, big marshmallow by day. She laughed as Olivia spit out the peas, a disgusted look on her face.

"You don't like it?" Oliver laughed. He took a small taste of the peas, and made the same face Olivia had made. "Yeah, I don't blame you. I will just have to make you real peas sometime," he said, putting the jar aside. He grabbed the green beans instead, because she loved those.

After she was fed, Felicity took her upstairs for her bath. Oliver took this opportunity to sneak up to Thea's room. He had been dying to show her the ring.

"She's going to love it!" Thea squealed quietly. She had a huge smile on her face. Oliver looked so damn excited she couldn't help but smile. "When are you going to do it?"

"In a couple months. I just want to give it more time," Oliver replied. "I don't think I could handle it if she said no." Oliver laughed nervously.

"She won't say no. She loves you." Thea sat on her bed. I could do some digging. See where she stands on the subject."

"Won't that make her suspect?" Oliver asked. He didn't want Felicity to see it coming.

"Not if you do it two months from now."

…

It was a couple days later, and Felicity had just joined Thea at the table. She put Olivia in her chair, and opened a jar of carrots. "I'm going to be so late." Felicity stated.

"I don't think your boss is going to care," Thea stated with a smile.

Felicity chucked. "Yeah, at least there's that. Ray is great. What other job can you take your child to work with you if need be?"

Thea shrugged. "None that I know of." Thea sighed a little and picked up the bridal magazine she was "reading."

"A bridal magazine?" Felicity observed.

"Yeah, I got this in the mail for some reason." Thea paused a moment. "Do you think it will ever happened for me?"

"Of course it will. You're a great person, and the right guy will know that." Felicity scooped more carrot into Olivia's mouth.

"I thought Roy was the right person," Thea commented, truly sad now. She missed him so much, and she feared she would never see him again. "Now I don't know if we will ever see each other again." She shook her head and smiled. "Do you think Oliver will ever ask you?"

Felicity looked at her now. "I don't know. I think he will. I hope he does." She paused a moment. "But don't you tell him that, I don't want to freak him out or anything." That was the last thing she wanted. "You really think you will never see Roy again?"

Thea crossed her arms now and thought a moment before answering. "I hope I will. I always think that maybe our time just isn't now. You know how in movies people fall in love, and then for some reason they are separated, then years later they come together again and it all works out? I hope for that."

"Who knew you were a helpless romantic?" Felicity teased.

"Oh, shut up," Thea replied. They both laughed, then laughed harder when Olivia joined in. There was just something contagious about a babies laughter.

Two Months Later

"I don't think I have ever been this nervous," Oliver told Thea. She was currently bouncing Olivia on her knee and both of them were laughing.

"I don't think you have anything to worry about. You guys have come so far over the past year. Hell you guys are practically married already."

Oliver took a deep breath. Thea was right. He and Felicity were in a great place. Sure, they ran into a few bumps here and there, but every couple did. "I sent her a dozen lilies."

Thea looked at him. "Why not roses?" She asked curiously. She put Olivia down, who slowly walked toward her daddy.

"Felicity told me she loved lilies." Oliver replied, as he reached for Olivia. She laughed as Oliver threw her up into the air, then caught her again. He hugged her close, then gave her kisses.

"So why aren't you going to take her away for the weekend?" Thea asked. She had figured he would take her away on a romantic getaway somewhere.

"She won't even let Olivia out of her sight for a single night. Can you imagine trying to keep them apart for a weekend? She wouldn't enjoy herself."

"Okay, I need to get ready," Oliver said, handing Olivia back to Thea.

"You ready to have a good time with Auntie?" Thea asked Olivia as Oliver left the room.

Oliver made his way up stairs and prayed that this night would go as planned. He wanted everything to be perfect.

Oliver waited downstairs for Felicity. She had told him twenty minutes ago that she needed five more minutes to get ready. He was about to go up and check on her, but when he turned, he saw her descending down the stairs.

She was stunning as always. Her dress was off white (how fitting) and cut off just above the knee. It hugged her curves nicely, and the halter top style top exposed just a little bit of cleavage. She looked sexy but classy, She wore her hair loose, and had her contacts in.

"You look beautiful," he said, having to clear his throat a little. He was so nervous about tonight he could hardly speak.

She beamed at him, her cheeks pinking just a little. "Right back at you."

"You ready?" Oliver asked. She nodded her response, and after kissing Olivia, they left the house. They talked about Felicity's job, and about Ray's ATOM suit on the way to the restaurant. Oliver didn't mind her chatter. It actually made him feel less nervous.

When he pulled up in front of the restaurant Felicity gasped. He got out, walked around the car, and opened her door. He offered her his hand. She took it, her mouth still open in awe, as she got out.

"How did you get us in this place?" she asked as they went in. Oliver gave the hostess his name, and after confirming their reservation, she motioned for them to follow her. Felicity looked around as they walked to their table. She had always wanted to try this place, but the waitlist went on forever, and it cost a pretty penny.

After being seated, and ordering drinks, Felicity smiled at Oliver. "How did you get us in this place?"

"I have my ways," Oliver replied. Actually, he had called every day for the past month hoping someone would cancel their reservation. He was ecstatic when someone finally had.

"Well, it's beautiful," Felicity replied. He looked nervous, she observed. She had thought that on the drive over as well. Is he going to propose to her? Her heart fluttered at the thought. She hadn't realized how much she wanted him to ask her until this moment.

They ordered dinner and were waiting for it when Oliver's phone vibrated in his jacket, he groaned. He checked it, and because it was Thea he couldn't ignore it. "Hey," he said, answering it. "Is everything okay?"

"No," Thea replied.

He could hear the worry in her voice, and his heart dropped. Was something wrong with Olivia? "Is Olivia okay?" he asked, grabbing Felicity's hand as she started to get up, fear in her eyes.

"She's fine, she's sleeping. This is a team arrow problem."

Oliver indicated to Felicity that Olivia was just fine, and she took a sigh of relief. "Can this wait?" he asked.

"I don't think so."

"What do we have?" Oliver asked as he and Felicity entered the foundry. Thea was there alone.

"John and Laurel are already on their way, but someone put up a video," Thea replied. She stood, giving Olivia to Felicity, then went to get her outfit. "They are planning on shooting up the square, where they are holding that rally for saving that old building on Lester Avenue."

Oliver jumped into action as well. There were a lot of lives on the line, and there was no time to ask a lot of questions. He dressed quickly, and was about to head out, but stopped. Felicity was talking to either Dig or Laurel, and he was about to tell her he loved her when the electric went out.

There was a moment of silence, before Thea said, "Oops."

"Oops?" Oliver questioned. A light caught his eyes. Felicity turned on the flashlight on her phone.

"I forgot to pay the electric," Thea replied.

"Okay, then, new plan. Thea, stay here with Olivia, Felicity, I need you to go to go to Palmer tech and use the computers there."

They all agreed, and got to work.

…..

"Keep your eyes open," Oliver said into his mic. He was up high, where he could see the entire square. Laurel and Dig were walking around, trying to find anything that seemed out of place. They had tried stopping the van, but they got away, and this was their only other option. They had informed Lance of what was going on, and he sent officers to keep watch as well.

Felicity was watching the surrounding streets for anything out of place through the street cameras. "Nothing yet," she replied.

"Nothing here either," Laurel added.

"Same here," Digg said.

After an hour went by, Oliver started getting a bad feeling. The rally was going to wrap up soon, and there was still no attack. Where were they?

"Something's not right," Oliver told the others. He scanned the crowed again, and still there was nothing. "Do you think this was a decoy? What if their target was somewhere else?" There was a surprised sound that came through his ear piece and his blood ran cold. "Felicity?"

There was no answer, but the loud bang of a gun had him moving. He couldn't let himself think the worst, but it was hard not to. He rushed to Palmer Tech, his heart pounding in his chest. He could hear Laurel on the phone with her father, but he knew he would make it to her first.

Once there, he wasted no time getting up to her floor. He encountered no one on his way up. Still, he exited the elevator slowly, and walked cautiously, his arrow at the ready. The floor was empty as well, with the exception of Felicity, who was laying on the floor, slowly getting up.

"Are you okay?" Oliver asked, as he went to her. There was a cut on her forehead, and her cheek was bruised. Other than that, she was fine.

"I'm okay," she replied, a little breathless. "But Ray will not be happy when he finds out they stole a hi tech gadget that will help them electronically rob people blind."

Oliver stood in the old foundry, looking around. It was bare without all of their stuff, but it still felt a little like home to him. The club above was still empty, so breaking in was easy. Where are you? He messaged to Felicity. He had told her to meet him here, after the cops were done with her.

Close, She messaged back.

Oliver found a lighter, and started lighting the candles. This wasn't what he had in mind, but after today, he decided that this was where he wanted to do it. He looked around after all the candles were lit. They lit up the room nicely, and the dozens of lilies looked beautiful in the fire light.

He heard the sound of the door opening, and her heals hitting the stairs. He smiled as she came into the candle light, her eyes wide with surprise.

"What is this?" she asked, her heart fluttering. This place had never looked so beautiful. The candle light danced around the room, and made Oliver look like someone who would be on the cover of a romance novel. She smiled at the lilies. "You remembered," she stated, pointing to them. That made her heart swell.

Oliver took her hand, and kissed her knuckles. "This isn't where I planned on doing this. I had this romantic dinner planned. But now that I'm doing it here, I realize it's the perfect place for it. It's where you learned who I really was, and here is where I fell in love with you."

Felicity's eyes were already watering when Oliver got down on one knee. "Felicity Megan Smoak. You mean the world to me. You're more than just the love of my life. You are one of the few people I know I can trust. You make this world, which is full of evil, seem bright. You make me better in every way, and I wouldn't be who I am today without you. So I ask you, here where I fell in love with you, if you would make me happier than the happiest man alive, and marry me." Oliver finished, and had to swallow. He held his breath as he waited for her answer.

Felicity cried now, and nodded. "Yes," she said with a tearful laugh. "Absolutely, yes!" she added, her tone now excited. She threw her arms around Oliver once he stood, and kissed him deeply.

Oliver laughed with her. She said yes. After everything, she still said yes.

"You have just made me so happy," she told him. "So incredibly, blissfully happy."

"Not as happy as you made me," Oliver informed her."

She kissed him again, and this kissed lasted longer than the last. Her hands found the buttons of his shirt, and his body responded to her. It was a perfect way to end the night, and the perfect beginning to the rest of his life.
