There is a fire inside of this heart, a riot about to explode into flames

Notes:

Ahm... well...

We get the reveal of the baby's name in this! Yay! Let me know what you think about it. Seriously, I was really excited to share the name with you, I've known it for like months and almost couldn't wait to let you guys know, so please, tell me what you think about my choice. Even if you don't like it or think that Oliver (and Sara) wouldn't chose it. I just really wanna hear your thoughts, lol.

I'll get more in depth talking about this chapter in the notes at the end... don't want to spoil it.

Chapter 37

There is a fire inside of this heart, a riot about to explode into flames tell me you won't break my heart You won't tear my world apart I got a fear in my blood don't just slip away in the night

Sara

Sara wasn't sure what drove her to do this... why she suddenly felt she had to do this... maybe it was the newly painted door. It was beautiful, painted in a light jade green color, and in the middle of the door next to the doorknob was a tree branch with a bird's nest on it and Ollie had written "The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs" on the top half of it. She could see... just the door to their baby's room... she had never known that a door could portray and represent someone's love and devotion as deeply as this one did Oliver's.

Or maybe it was the conversation she's had with Sin at Thanksgiving...

She hesitated for a moment, studying the door before carefully opening it and very slowly and hesitantly stepping into the room she had been avoiding for so long. No, not avoiding, pretending didn't exist for the last seven weeks... until now. She only managed to take two steps before she stopped in awe. It was beautiful. It was almost... magical. She could easily see how much love and care Ollie had put into this room.

It was breathtaking.

The walls were a soft, calming blue, his favorite color. The ceiling was an even lighter blue, but it was decorated with hundreds of little stars with real star signs, mimicking the actual night sky. It must have taken Ollie ages to get that alone done... Sara stared up at the ceiling for a long time, recognizing the night sky Ollie had recreated, probably by memory. It was a sight that they had looked at almost every night together for months while they had been stuck on Lian Yu. Making up their own star signs and giving them ridiculous names. She bit her lip as her eyes began to tear up. Leave it to Ollie to do something so sweet, so personal... yet no one besides the two of them would ever know just how significant and unique it was.

She turned her damp eyes away from the ceiling in order to gaze around the room, stopping at a changing table that was strategically well placed in the corner beside to the bay window seat. The wardrobe was on the wall across from it. There was a white leather rocking chair and a small wooden table with a white lamp on top of it in the opposite corner connecting with the wall adjacent to it, the wall to Ollie's room. A wall she had so far only let herself glance at out of the corner of her eyes. She turned her eyes towards the wardrobe again, the beautiful white piece of furniture with the intricate design. Everything was just... there were a couple of small toys scattered around the room on different pieces of furniture or on shelves, but it was obvious that everything had its place, there was a blanket thrown over the rocking chair, matching the pillow on the rocking chair, which again matched the pillows on the bay window. Framed pictures of Ollie and her, of Thea and Laurel and her parents, of his parents and Tommy were placed on shelves around the room... every single piece, every detail just matched and fit.
