What's wrong with us when happy hurts

Once you feel it you can't unfeel it

Notes:

Okay, so I just like to let you guys know about a decision I made. I decided to cherry pick season 5 and sort of chose which storylines and events I'll add to the story and which ones I dismiss. Also timeline wise, the events might happen sooner or later than they originally did on the show.

Like I've mentioned in my answers to some of the comments my stories are usually character driven, so the events from Arrow season 5 that I plan to incorporate into the story need to be at points that make sense for the characters current journeys which might be a completely different point in time than they were originally on the show.

I did something here... please don't hate me! *hides behind the desk*

Chapter 23

Once you feel it you can't unfeel it, once you dream it you can't undream it wake up, wake up

Oliver

Oliver looked at Sara with a smile on his face. He still couldn't believe how lucky he was to have her in his life. He then turned to the backseat of the car and looked at his son. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe this was happening. A part of him had already known that it would, at least subconsciously, but now that the day was almost here it was hard for him to believe. Two days, the wedding was in two days. This was crazy. When had that happened and where had the time gone? He was so happy that Samantha had agreed to let them take William with them. It was an important event, and he wanted his son to be there.

"Are you guys ready?" He looked at the two most important people in his life expectantly in short succession.

"Yeah, dad, we're kind of waiting for you. You're the one who spaced." He saw Sara's smirk and the proud look on her face given his son's sassy reply.

"Pretty much what he said, I do sort of need your help to get out of the car." His Pretty Bird playfully rolled her eyes at him and put one of her hands pointedly on her heavily pregnant stomach. Oliver smirked at her before getting out of the car and moving around it to help the mother-to-be out of it, while William was snickering in the backseat getting out himself.

"My lady." Oliver offered her his hand playfully to which she just rolled her eyes again, dragging the hand further in the car and moving it to her opposite side so that he could help her off of the car seat and out of the car. A very well practiced move by now.

"You are such an idiot. I really don't understand why the wedding couldn't have been in like another two or three months. I swear this is not my idea of fun. I will walk out of there if the chairs aren't pregnancy friendly and I don't care that I'm essential for the wedding. I'm supposed to give birth to your daughter in less than a month. This should be against the law." Oliver couldn't help but laugh at his Bird's complaining. It was something she had been doing for weeks now, which was why Oliver knew that everyone made sure that the wedding was as pregnancy friendly as it could possibly be. No one wanted Sara to be uncomfortable after all.

"I know, babe, I told them that, I'm sure your pregnancy was taken into consideration while planning the wedding. Besides, I told them on several occasions to make sure that you will be comfortable unless they wanted you to leave in the middle of it. And believe me, no one wants that type of attention. I was once again reminded that the last thing the Queen name needed was yet another scandal." Oliver was still highly amused about that conversation. He still didn't really see the apparent scandal that he and Sara had provided once again. Oh, well. People believed what they wanted to and interpreted things however they saw fit. The truth hardly mattered to most of them. He guessed his and Sara's combined presence would always provoke some whispers and judging looks. Which was the reason why they usually avoided big events like this one. Even though he could really care less and thankfully so could Sara.
