And then you walked into my life

Untitled Part 23

Screaming. All that could be heard was screaming and Felicity held the phone away from her ear, her face scrunched, and she closed her eyes at the sound. She had just called and told Donna about the pregnancy. The joy in the screams that Donna was emitting over the phone made Felicity smile even through the ear-piercing sound.

"Mom? Mom?"

"Oh my god baby girl. A baby! We have so much to do...."

"Mom."

"We have clothes to buy and furniture and you have got to register...."

"Mom!"

"And Thea and I need to start planning the shower. You are having a shower, right?"

"Mom! Stop, please. We have plenty of time for that. I have not even thought that far ahead."

"Well don't wait too long darling. Time will pass by so quickly."

Felicity turned to Oliver and rolled her eyes as he grinned at her. He could hear Donna's screams all the way across the room. His ears were still ringing from his call to Thea.

"Listen Mom. I need to go. We will talk soon ok?"

"Ok baby. Listen I love you. Tell Oliver that I am going to plan a trip down real soon. We have a lot to do."

Felicity knew she could not talk her Mother out of it, so she just agreed, told her she loved her and said goodbye. She collapsed back against the couch cushions as Oliver walked over from where he had been sipping his coffee and reading the paper. Felicity eyed the cup of coffee with longing and then grabbed Oliver and kissed him soundly.

He pulled away in surprise and then kissed her softly. "What was that for?"

"You taste and smell like coffee and I miss it so much." She whined and he laughed. She leaned forward to kiss him again and he backed away with a laugh, so Felicity sat back with a huff and a frown.

"Why don't you talk to the doctor at our next appointment and ask her if one cup a day is ok?"

Felicity grumbled but she already had catalogued the question in her mind to call the doctor later. She felt a bump against her leg and looked down to see Otis sitting on her feet. He had started doing this since she had returned, and Felicity could not help but feel that it was his way of ensuring she and Pascal did not leave again.

She reached down and scratched between his ears as Oliver glanced at his watch and then took his coffee cup to the kitchen.

She watched him go, enjoying the way his dress shirt stretched across the muscles of his back and the way his tailored slacks fell around his ass and then down his legs.

"I have several meetings today at the office and then Thea and Roy have invited us to dinner." Oliver's voice called out from the kitchen as he rinsed his cup and then placed it in the dishwasher.

"Oh ok. That sounds like fun."

"What do you have going on today?" He grabbed his keys from the bar and walked back over to her.

Felicity stood and then played with the buttons on his shirt. "I have two client calls today for possible app jobs and then I have three canine appointments. I am going to take my laptop and work at the park today."

Oliver leaned down and kissed her. "Ok. Just be home no later than 6 p.m. Thea was going to make our reservation for 7 p.m."

"You realize Thea and my Mother are on the phone right now, as we speak, plotting this whole pregnancy?"

Oliver laughed and kissed her once again before walking to the front door. "Try not to stress too much about it. Stress is not good for you or Precious." He rubbed his tummy and then winked before he walked out the front door.
