After the appointment with Tommy and Laurel, I was drained; physically and emotionally.
"Felicity." I turn to face Oliver and see the concern etched on his face.
"Are you alright?"
"Ya... I'm just tired."
"Okay..." I peck him on the cheek before walking into my room and falling asleep instantly.
The sun shines on my eyes lids, forcing me to open them. I sit up and notice how difficult it is. I look to my left and see Oliver asleep, catching a glimpse of my stomach in the process. I look down my eyes going wide at my swollen abdomen.
"What the heck?" This wakes Oliver instantly.
"Are you alright?"
"Y-ya." He places a hand on my stomach, which forces a smile into my face.
"How's the baby?" At that moment there's a force on and off where Oliver's hand lays. I realize the baby is kicking. A smile spreads across both of our faces.
After a few minutes I drag myself from the bed, walking to the bathroom where I stare into the mirror. Oliver walks up behind me, and wraps me in his arms.
"Just think... Two months until we get to meet our daughter?"
"It's a girl?"
"I think it's a girl, but you wouldn't let me find out, remember?"
"Ya... Sorry I'm just out of it today."
"It's okay. I know being seven months makes you nervous." I'm seven months pregnant. That runs through my head, reminding me of what happened last time I was pregnant. 'That won't happen, this is Oliver we are talking about.' I try to tell myself, even though it does nothing to relax me.
The setting around me begins to change and I stand alone in a dark room.
"H-hello?" Oliver appears in front of me, but his demeanor has changed juristically.
"Oliver?"
"I'm sorry it came to this Felicity." His tone is icy, and I take a step back out of habit. I back straight into a wall, and place a hand over my stomach protectively.
"I never wanted to be a father. Now I know I can't, especially with a woman I can never love..." He lunges at my with a knife in hand, but everything goes dark before he reaches me.
I sit bolt up, sweat running down my body. The events of the dream still play through my head.
"Felicity." I jump at Oliver's voice, remembering the tone he used in the dream. He places a hand on my shoulder and I instantly flinch away, hurt registering on his face.
"S-sorry." I stutter out, trying to calm down. 
"Felicity..." I look away, tears running down my cheeks. He sits on the bed, keeping his distance.
"Felicity, please look at me..." His tone is gentle, and I force myself to look at him. He notices the tears first, and I can tell he had to stop himself from whipping them away.
"Did I do something?"
"N-no..." He didn't do a thing, but it was still his figure that tried to kill me.
"Did I hurt you?"
"No. You... You wouldn't?" I meant to say it as a statement, but it comes out as a question.
"What happened? You know I would never hurt you."
"It's just Ray getting to me." He stays silent and I continue.
"I just had a dream... More like a nightmare. I was pregnant again, only this time it... It was you that... That..." The tears come forward, and I finally allow Oliver to pull me into his arms.
"Felicity I would never, I could never hurt you. I love you, and we are in this together." I feel the simple band that's the promise ring Oliver gave me. I begin to relax remembering how perfectly that night had gone; how much thought he had put into the perfect gesture.
