-Hope you enjoy

The drive to Verdant was quiet and tense. All Felicity could think about was her daughter to the point where she had to put down the window cause if she didn't she knew she would suffocate on the thought of losing her daughter. She felt pain a hard thump on her heart, she remembered all the times she cried whether or not to tell Oliver, whether or not to call him. All that pain came back to her all at once, luckily they arrived because if they didn't she would have opened the door and jumped out and ran away, scared to face the truth, scared to tell him, scared to have her daughter, the one she stayed up all day and night, the one she loved with all her heart ripped away from her. She opened the door as fast as she got out and took a deep breath trying to calm down before closing the door then hearing the car lock. Oliver started to walk towards her then he realized her face was red and she looked like she wanted to cry not just any type of crying, the crying that let everything out and gave relief. "Felicity are you okay ?" he asked looking concerned and placing a hand lightly on her shoulder.
"Yea. I just need to freshen up. Meet you inside" before he could reply or argue she walked off towards the back entrance of  Verdant heading towards the toilet.
********************
Felicity walked in quickly, entering the green shimmery cold bathroom then leaned against the green titled wall "Felicity just relax, breathe" she kept telling her self that until she accomplished her words then started walking towards the the polished sliver taps and turned them on slowly and washed her hands and patted her face with water lightly. She then reached for her purse and scanned through it for her phone and when she found it she dialed Sally's number. " It's Sally sorry I couldn't get to you at the moment please leave a message after the beep" beep. She tried again " It's Sally sorry I couldn't...." Felicity ended the phone call then tried for the third time this time it rang twice then their was an answer.
"Hello"
"Why didn't you answer you got me worried" Felicity said worried.
"Sorry I was changing Olivia's Diaper she wouldn't stop moving she so cheeky and.." as Sally continued talking about Olivia Felicity couldn't help but smile all she could feel was love at that moment towards Olivia like the first time she saw her "Hello Felicity are you still there?" she then snapped out of her thoughts quickly and replied
"Yes I am sorry I'll be home soon kiss her for me please"
" I will see ya" Sally said happily before ending the phone call. Felicity fixed up her make-up and put on her best smile and walked out heading towards Oliver, Thea, Roy and Diggle.
********************
Oliver was talking to Diggle, Thea and Roy.
"I'm glad your back man" Diggle said while holding his arm and patting his back
"Don't ever leave again" Thea said then punching his arm.
"It's not the same with out you" Roy said chucking which cause Oliver to chuckle too.
"Yea man" suddenly a familiar voice came from behind
"Bruce Wayne" Oliver said turning around to his old friend.
"The one and only" Bruce started to walk towards Oliver give him a big welcoming hug.
"I thought you weren't coming" Oliver said surprised.
" Do you think I'll miss one of my oldest friends welcome back party"
"Yes" Oliver said chucking knowing it's true
Bruce chucked and said " I'll never miss a party with hot girls"
Oliver laughed and then faced his friends " Diggle, Roy this Bruce Wayne"
Bruce shook both of their hands firmly then turned to Thea and took her hand and kissed it lightly and let go slowly "Thea, never stopped growing beautiful"
"Hi Bruce" said then placing a hand on Roy's shoulder then Roy placed a hand on her waist.
"Hope you guys weren't having to much fun without me" said a voice coming from behind them.
Oliver and Bruce turned around exactly the same time to the familiar voice.
"Felicity Smoak" Bruce said looking at her face with this smile he does when he wants a girl
"Bruce...Wayne" Felicity said with a smile " What are you doing here?"
" I could ask you the same thing"
"Well I'm here for a friend.You?"
"Would it surprise you if I said the same thing"
"Well coming from you yes unless if this ''friend'' is a girl"
The way they were looking at each other got everyone's attention.
"Well this ''friend'' is actually a guy who I knew for a every long time and just came back from his trip"
"Shocker......wait are you here for Oliver?" Felicity said while pointing to Oliver.
"Yes and I guess you are too. What a coincidence ? "
"Nothing is a coincidence with you " Felicity said raising an eyebrow.
"As much as like to stick to that but truly it was the universe this time" He replied and took her hand and brought it to his mouth and kissed it then got back up without letting go of her hand and staring into her eyes.
"Wait you guys know each other?" Oliver said looking at both of them confused and angry.
"We used to date" Bruce said looking at Oliver who was flinching at the word date.
"What happened?" Thea asked interested.
As Bruce was about to reply Felicity jumped in and said "Things got complicated"
"Why didn't I know about this?" Oliver asked still annoyed that Felicity moved on and he hasn't.
"Because it happened when you were away" Felicity looked at Oliver then back to Thea who was asking her another question.
"Is this the mystery guy you talked about? " Thea added a bright smile at the end of her question.
"Well...Yes" Felicity looked down in embarrassment.
"Oh I was a mystery wasn't I ?" Bruce smirked at Felicity then placed his hand at her lower back.
Oliver watched as Bruce placed his at her lower all he wanted to do was knock that grin off his face and place an arrow in him.
"Oh Bruce you were always full of it and you still are" when Felicity said while slapping his hard arm that caused him to laughed and reply
"Just the way you liked it"
"You wished" Felicity let out a little laugh.
********************
The night was nearly over. Oliver was sitting in the bar alone. Thea was dancing with Roy and Diggle left to go see Lyla his wife and Sara his 3 year old daughter. If Oliver had to admit he was feeling a little jealous throughout the whole night seeing his Felicity flirting with one of his oldest friends and him flirting back. Seeing them laugh together, dance together and drink together it was all to much to come back too. He wished that was him and that's when he decided things had to change he had to be with Felicity, no one else but him. Suddenly something popped in his head can Bruce be the Felicity's child's father. There was a little tap on Oliver's shoulder which caused him snap out of his thoughts, It was Felicity "Hey is it okay if we can go now. I don't want to be late"
"Why don't you go with Bruce you too seem pretty close"
"Well he did offer to take me home but I said I already have my ride covered and that it was you" Felicity said smiling at Oliver then placed a hand on his shoulder.
That kinda made him smile but he didn't want to show it instead he looked down and his watch and read the time 8:45 pm.
"Okay then lets go" he placed his arm on her back and made sure Bruce was looking but avoided looking at him but he did see a glimpse of his face he could tell he was angry.
********************
The ride back to her house was quiet but not awkward or tense. Felicity started out the window and replayed the night in her head. Oliver in the other hand kept on thinking about the possibility of Bruce being the father. He rolled up her drive way. Felicity picked up her purse and looked at the time displaying on her phone screen 8:56 pm then she looked at Oliver who was looking at her.
"Thank you. I'm glad your back I missed you" she leaned in and pressing on his cheek lightly placing a kiss then opening the car door and closing it after her. "Goodnight" she said looking through the window, which was down.
"Felicity" he said softly
"Yes"
"Is Bruce the father?"
She looked at him she wanted to say no but instead "Goodbye Oliver" she said a bit firmly with a bit of anger. 'It was a great night why did he have to ruin it?' She thought to herself.
"Felicity" he yelled out while watching walking towards her door
"I said goodbye Oliver" she said firmly then entering her house.
********************
As she entered her warm house she placed her purse and jacket on the glass table near her door. Then hears noises of a car driving away. She peeked through her window, he was gone. She then entered Olivia's bedroom seeing Olivia sleeping in her crib and Sally on the pink coach near the crib. Felicity gently woke Sally up.
"Hey" Felicity said calmly, touching her shoulders
"Hey sorry I was just reading her a book then I accidentally dozed off" Sally said rubbing her eyes then taking the book from her lap and standing to stretch then placing it on the bookshelf."I have to go now"
"You know you can sleep here today if you want ?" Felicity gave her a warm smile
"I know but I have a test to study for on Monday"
"Oh okay. Do you want me to drop you off?" Felicity offered placing a hand on her shoulder
"No it's okay my brother is coming to pick me up now and besides the point, Olivia's sleeping"'
Felicity turned around to see her daughter sleeping she never had enough of that cute image.
"I would like to apologize again" Sally said while walking up to Felicity and placing a hand on the crib for support as she leaned in
"For what?"
"For calling Oliver her father. You seemed every upset about it when I said it"
"It's okay"
"The reason why I thought that because Olivia looks like you but she looks like him too and.."
she was interrupted by Felicity " I know she does" Felicity replied looking at her daughters looks and comparing them to Oliver's. It was like Oliver's eye's staring back at her.
"What's that supposed to me " Sally asked confused.
Felicity looked at her.
"Wait does that mean I was right?"
Felicity slightly nodded and replied "Sally promise me you won't tell anyone this please promise me"
"Promise" She smiled just then she hears and horn "That must be Anthony my brother I have to go now see ya and goodnight"
"Goodnight" Felicity said while hugging her then walking her to the door. As Sally drove off Felicity waved her hand as a response to Sally who was waving as well then locked the door securely and closed Olivia's door then went to her bedroom, changed into her silky white pajamas and headed to bed getting a rest after that tiring long day.
