Felicity gets a pet and Oliver is shocked at what she chooses

"What the fuck is that?" it was one of the first times Felicity had heard Oliver say fuck and she couldn't control the giggles that erupted from her. She stared up at him, grinning as he stared down at the black and white wiggling animal in her arms.

"This is Albert. He is a miniature pig. You said you wanted me to get a pet, so here he is." she grinned, holing up the tiny piglet.

Oliver stared at the pig, then lifted a brow at her.

"A guard dog, Felicity. This goddamn pig wont protect you." Oliver snapped at her, his arms uncrossing from over his chest to drop to his hips.

She shrugged her shoulders at him, tilting her head to the side as she turned Albert in her arms and peppered his cute little face with soft kisses.

"I don't want or need a guard dog, Arrow. I have you for that. I wanted little Albi because he is so cute." she told Oliver, turning away from her boyfriend to move into the kitchen where dinner was soon to be ready.

She knew he wouldn't have been happy when he found out that she had gotten a pig instead of the dog he demanded she get. But when she had walked into the animal shelter, her eyes had immediately fallen to the little black and white ball curled up in a box of straw. She had wanted to cry because he was so little and the odd one out within the pound. Dogs were barking and growling, cats her mewling and hissing, birds screeching and tweeting. But this baby pig had been silent, eyes widened in obvious fear. And her heart had ached for him.

So she had hustled the young boy who was working the front desk and told him to get the paper work for her new family member, Albert.

She heard Oliver stomp into the kitchen behind her, could feel him move up behind her as she checked the pasta cooking on the stove. Albert was cuddled in her arms, his eyes drifting close as he rested in her arms. She smiled because she felt as if this was his way of showing her that he felt safe with her.

"You have to take him back, Felicity. He will not help you if something happens while I'm not here." he told her, more like growled but she was going to let this one pass. She rolled her eyes, knowing and loving this side of him but she wasn't going to let her Albi go.

"Sure Oliver, whatever you say." she murmured, grinning down at Albert. She heard Oliver growl behind her and then felt his hands on her hips as he turned her to face him.

She looked up at him, saw his concern and lent forward to press her lips against his.

"I know you said guard dog, I get it, okay. But I know how to protect myself, I had the best teach me. Oliver, Albi would have been put down if I hadn't have gotten him. Lets face it, he is a pig, there aren't a lot of people out in the middle of Starling looking for a pet pig." she muttered, rubbing the pig's belly.

Oliver sighed, his eyes drifting back down to the pig. She watched his face soften and almost whooped, knowing she had one this argument.

"He is cute." Oliver murmured, lifting a hand to rub Alberts head. The pig made a sound akin to a purr and then a snort. Felicity giggled and moved into Oliver's arms, with their new baby.

"Albert will be a good addition to this household, Oliver. I'll have you to protect me, Albi to keep me company on Arrow nights and well, both of my boys will have me to feed them." she laughed.

Oliver chuckled and gripped her face in his hands, bringing his lips down on hers. He kissed her sweetly, holding her to him.

"I'll buy him a collar tomorrow." Oliver said, giving her one last kiss before moving away from her.

She grinned from behind his back, looking back down at her new boy.

"Welcome to the family, Albert."

On Albi's first birthday, Oliver brought him a green collar, a small arrow on the side with his name carved into it. Felicity cried when Oliver gave it to her to put on Albi but Felicity cried at everything these days.

She was after all six months pregnant.
