Chapter 24

Notes:

[Set at some point in the future]
Two lines prompted inspired this ficlet, which are, as usual, bolded.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

“I think I broke it.”

“What—oh.”

“Yes. That.”

“Hon, don’t cry! We can buy another one.”

“I know, Oliver, that’s not the point. I broke it.”

“Usually I do.”

“Yeah. Throwing a temper tantrum trying to cover it up as ‘being clumsy’.”

“It was… not like that.”

“Whatever, I can’t believe I did this.”

“It was an accident.”

“But still, my tablet, Oliver. I’ve betrayed my tech.”

“I’m sure it’ll forgive you.”

“Not this one, it’s toast. I’m gonna have to customize a whole new one. And I don’t even know if I’ll do it properly ‘cause I’m so tired and scattered lately. So much that I bumped into it and drove it diving to the ground.”

“Technically it wasn’t just you.”

“Yeah, it was the bump. Totally the baby’s fault… I still love you, pea.”

“Hah, and I love you two… Felicity, hon, don’t cry, please.”

“I think I need a hug.”

“Come here.”

“I still can’t understand how you’re so squishy and comfortable with all that muscle.”

“I love you. And our already troublesome little girl—”

“—or boy.”

“Or boy.”

“I do too… but if I’m this clumsy with my things, Oliver, how am I gonna handle a baby?”

“Hey, you’re going to be amazing. You already are.”

“I’m not sure this is all hormones.”

“Baby, I’m not going to lie and say there’s nothing to worry about; I am terrified. But we’ve prepped and are as ready as we could be. Everything is unpredictable but if there’s anything I’ve learnt in these seven years of knowing you, is there’s no one stronger than Felicity Smoak.”

“… damn, and I’m crying again.”

“I love you all the more for it.”

“… if you keep this going, I’m gonna flood your shirt, mister.”

"I can try to kiss the tears away.”

“Now you’re turning into the smartest in the relationship too.”

“Never.”

If you've got a line you'd like me to play around with for one of this kind of ficlets, send it to me on tumblr. Here are a few ideas to choose from too. And feel free to say if there’s a specific ‘verse I’ve already worked at that you wish your line to (try to) be written for :)

Notes:

Thanks for reading!!

I'd love to read your reactions, what you liked, what piqued your interest, what you think needs work, whatever is in your mind. Just a few words can help better the result and make my day :) Please do so in the chapter/s you've read and enjoyed!
