Chapter Text
Roy was feeling especially tired today, I guess a night spent red leather clad chasing down especially violent criminals will do that to you. He was sure it wasn't helping with his nervousness, seeing as he and Thea were going to Oliver and felicity's loft for a “family dinner” felicity's words not Oliver's. I mean logically he knew Oliver liked him and was starting to approve of him and Thea dating, but there was still these eerie ‘if you hurt my sister i have a good place for hiding body's’ looks Oliver would give him when no one else was looking. It took him a moment to realize he and Thea had already gotten to the apartment door before he pulled his head out of how much pain Oliver can inflict with arrows to the present moment. Thea knocked and flashed him an excited smile before looking back to the door. It was opened almost immediately by Oliver with felicity only a step behind both with wide smiles spread across there faces.
“Ollie!” Thea said as he pulled her into a hug. It lasted just long enough for Oliver to send him one of those looks over her shoulder that made him wonder if Oliver was going to shoot him with an arrow… again. felicity pulled Thea inside to talk about some new computer update on the foundry's systems, he was invited in by Oliver who kept a fake smile on his face as he simply said
“Roy”
To which Roy nodded in response, making his way into the loft, while Oliver closed the door behind them.
“We should look into getting one of these Roy” Thea said referring to the loft while looking out through the large windows.
“That-” Roy started but was interrupted by an almost simultaneous dinging on everyone's phone.
“Looks like a bank robbery in progress at 28th and central, john will meet us at the foundry” felicity said looking down at her tablet.
Within 5 minutes felicity was on the comms with Thea, john, Oliver, and Roy out in the field. Laurel would have been joining them if she hadn't been visiting her mother at the time. The bank robbers were apprehended without a problem and soon every one was in the arrow cave, changed back into street clothes and cooing over the new pictures of Sara john had on his phone.
“Dig she's so cute seriously” felicity said wearing a huge smile.
“She really is, hey verdant is closed until next week but there's a chef coming by for a job interview, if you wanted to bring Sara by all of us could meet up and I could have him cook something” Thea said looking up and briefly meeting john's eyes with a look of hope.
“That sound great, I'll ask Lyla if she could stop by to. I'd imagine it would be good for her seeing as yesterday she told me that being a mother has killed her social life” john said putting his phone up and starting to pack up his stuff like Oliver, Roy, and felicity. Thea froze.
“Thea you alright” Roy asked with a look of concern on his face, John had already left the foundry but Felicity and Oliver assumed the same concern.
“What… oh… uh yeah… I'm fine” she said before flashing him a fake smile. Roy stood by her for a minute waiting for her to accompany him out of the foundry.
“You coming” he asked trying to figure out why she was being so weird.
“Uuhm…. I'm going to stay here and get a training session in”
“Okay…. See you at home” and with that Roy left the look of concern only slightly fading as he made his way out of the foundry. Oliver had finished gathering up his things and through on his coat saying “I'm going to walk over to the office I've got a pretty long meeting so don't wait up” he said kissing felicity on the forehead giving one last strange look to Thea before turning around and leaving the foundry. There was silence as Thea stared off into space only vaguely aware of Felicity's pointed looks.
“Are you sure you're alright” felicity asked, not knowing if her question was motivated more out of curiosity or concern.
“Yeah, I'm fine” Thea said slowly never looking up to meet Felicity's eyes. Despite her worry for her soon to be sister in law felicity left the foundry, the only sound remaining in the room was the echo of the metal door closing behind her.
Thea slumped down in her chair thinking through every little detail of the last few months. Shed thrown up some in the mornings, she’d been exhausted, she found herself wanting cheese puffs several times at three am, and she was late - very late - there was only one conclusion, she Thea queen was pregnant. She hadn't even noticed the foundry door opening backup or the tears rolling down her cheeks until she felt a familiar touch on her shoulder. She looked up to see felicity staring down at her with a not hard to pick up on uneasiness.
“Thea what's wrong” she said hastily, as she bent down to Thea’s level.
“I think I'm pregnant” she said, and for once Felicity Smoak was speechless.
