Good Cop, Bad Cop

"Action expresses priorities."

Leadership was not a position Katherine Robins sought. She was fine falling into line when she believed in the job. She particularly hated being the center of attention. For so long she was able to successfully avoid anyone's eyes, and now...now they all would be looking at her.

Katie looked out the massive window of her office, looking out to the city when a hand touched her back. She turned to see Oliver beside her and she smiled up to him.

"You're nervous." he said looking down to the woman and just seeing it. "You're usually good in front of crowds."

"No, I'm usually Dr. Robins in front of crowds, not CEO Katherine Robins." Katie sighed dropping her head to the man's shoulder. "Someone is going to ask me a question and I'm going to vomit." Oliver laughed placing a kiss to her head.

"You're going to do great."

"No, I can't do this. I'm not a leader." she said with a shake of her head. "I take orders well." Oliver let out a snort and she looked up to meet the man's eyes. "What?"

"You're serious?" he asked and the woman looked up to him waiting for him to continue. "Twinkie you're horrible at following orders. If it's not how you would do it, or if it's not something you think you should do, you don't do it. And it's the fact that your way usually works in the end that makes you a great leader." he pulled the woman closer to him. "You're going to be fine, just don't tell any jokes, because they're seriously not funny." Katie swat the man's chest when there's a knock at the door. They turn as Felicity walks in, smiling at the pair.

"You're here to tell me it's time."

"I am." Felicity replied and Katie groaned burying her head in Oliver chest. "Hey, you're gonna mess up your make up." Katie glared over to the woman before finally standing up straight and taking a deep breath.

"Ok, I can do this." she said pulling on a smile. "Ok be honest, how pregnant do I look right now?" she smoothed out the blazer she was wearing before looking between Felicity and Oliver who didn't reply right away.

"Like not at all." Felicity assured the woman. "Like if I didn't know you were pregnant, I wouldn't be able to tell at all." Katie smiled a bit more before giving a nod. "You ready?"

"Yes I am." Katie says standing tall and heading out of her office. Oliver and Felicity followed close behind her.

"That was nice of you." Oliver whispered over to the blonde who smiled over to him. "She actually looks ridiculously pregnant."

"I know." Felicity sighed. "So?" she looked over to the man. "It's crunch time, it's time for you to put a ring on it."

"Felicity, I know, I just, I need to find the right moment." Oliver says looking up to Katie who is speaking with her assistant.

"Well you're not the only one waiting for that moment." Felicity said before walking to catch up to Katie. Oliver seemed confused for a moment before glancing over to Katie and suddenly it hit him.

"Wait, Felicity-" they were all outside the elevator when he finally caught up and so he would have to hold his questions. Once the doors slid open, Oliver held out an arm to hold the doors open while the women filed inside before easing in himself. The doors were closing when Katie jerked forward.

"Shit, my phone!" she was about to rush off, but stopped.

"Oh, I have it!" Claire says holding the phone up. "You told me to hold on to it for you, remember?" Katie looked over to the woman with a nod.
