Chapter 22: Angel, Our Mascot

"...and it was positive." Ollie sighed as he finished explaining that part of the story. There was still so much to tell; how he'd deceived his mother and how he'd even got pregnant in the first place! Well, his mum would know how but Roy, Roy wouldn't. Ollie sighed, running a hand through his messy blond hair, yet again.
There was a yap from the kitchen before a 7 week old Shih Tzu Lasso cross charged into the room, stumbling over herself to get to her masters. Artemis trailed after her with Angel's stuff in her arms. Artemis set everything down before crossing her arms over her chest and smirking.
"I saw the light on at the back of the house. Angel just wouldn't settle at mine. She wanted her daddies," Artemis teased, laughing a little before seeing how serious everyone was. "Whoa, what happened? I mean, Ollie actually looks serious for once." Artemis quipped, jutting her hip out and putting her hand on said hip.
Roy sighed and stroked Angel on the head before answering, "Ollie has a sixteen-year-old daughter." He answered Artemis before asking Ollie softly, "And I've done the math Ollie. She's Collin's, isn't she?"
Ollie nodded, and his skin crawled as he thought about it. Cora looked at him with sympathy before asking, "Does he know?" Ollie shook his head, negatively. "And he never will, got it?" He whispered, before staring at them with a steel-blue gaze. He was completely serious.
All three Arrows in the room nodded their affirmative. Artemis flopped on the couch next to the blond billionaire, putting an arm around the person she treated like a father. "Us Arrows stick together, Ollie. We're here for you and we'll help you look for her." She said softly, causing Ollie to collapse in her embrace, sobbing with joy.
Cora and Roy glanced at each other before joining the group hug. Todd, who was to the left of the mess of limbs, opened one eye before walking over to curl up against Artemis's leg. Angel ran over and tried to jump up on the couch. Roy smirked before picking her up and placing her on his chest and curling up next to Ollie; wrapping his arms around his boyfriend. Cora smiled down at her mad little family, before squeezing in beside Artemis so that she could hug her son. (1)
"I don't even care how you kept it from me, Ollie." She whispered, causing him to cry harder. He wiped his eyes and then stuttered, "But you should know, mum. You all should." He composed himself before carrying on.

Ollie was in the library, moving his mum's extensive book collection on fae magic to the table he was using with his telekinesis. He placed the last book on the pile before sitting down in his favourite chair and opening the first book. Luckily, it was the one he was after. He started to read:
Once every hundred years, the next in line for the throne of Eden is given the ability to become with child once in their lives. This normally happens in their 16th year in life. The reason for this is because of a sorceress that once was barren and came to the Royal Family to be granted a child. The queen would not give the witch her first-born; she cast a curse on the Royals. Every child that was blonde, no matter their gender, would be allowed one chance at a child naturally, before going barren themselves.
Ollie gasped as he finished reading the paragraph. He couldn't believe it. He was pregnant because a witch had a grudge against the Royal Family. He was so shocked that he did not notice Cora next to him, reading over his shoulder.
"So," she started, causing Ollie to slam the book shut and spin around in fear. "You're pregnant, then?" She sighed. "I had hoped it was a myth."
"Mum!" Ollie exclaimed, rubbing his neck nervously. "Haha, yeah right. Me, pregnant. If you haven't noticed, mother, I am a guy! I can't get pregnant." He scoffed. Cora raised one eyebrow and said, "I know it's hard to accept..."
Ollie tuned her out and focused on his panic. She couldn't know because she'd wonder how he'd got pregnant. Wow, that's a weird sentence to think. He had to stop her from finding out his secret. His eyes went white as a white energy consumed him and went outwards.
Cora gasped as she saw the energy ball approach her. It hit her square in the chest, sending her flying into the wall and she hit her head, knocked unconscious.
Ollie took one look at what he'd done and ran from the room.

"...that spell messed with your memories about my pregnancy and made you ignore it. Mother, I'm so sorry. I should've just told you." Ollie finished, looking guiltily at his mother.
"It's fine. You were protecting yourself." She forgave, as mothers do. "But how didn't Collin find out?" She asked, curious.
Ollie sighed (A/N: Yes, I know he's doing that a lot) "He just assumed that it was Hal's fault. I have no idea how he came to that conclusion." Ollie chuckled a little at the thought of him and Hal having a child together. Like that would ever happen.
A sudden beeping broke the silence that had cloaked the room. Ollie's brow furrowed before he grabbed the tv remote and pressed the select button and the tv flipped over and showed a map of Star City. A red dot was blinking rapidly and moving just as fast by Star City bridge. Ollie groaned before complaining:
"Why is it always the bridge?"
Roy placed Angel on the floor, who looked at the screen before barking and running towards her stuff on the floor. She snuffled through it before coming back with a black vest. Roy chuckled and placed it on her.
On the back it read: I AM ON DUTY in white and below that were two arrows crossed in the middle; one red, the other green. (2)Angel barked happily and proceeded to the Arrowcave under the massive estate. Roy chuckled and said:
"Well, we don't want Angel getting all the fun, do we? Come on, let's go!" before taking off after her. The Arrow Clan then obediently followed.
A/N: There you go my faithful readers!
1 and 2: I'd love for someone to draw these. If you want Angel's markings etc then she is my profile picture. If you do draw them then I want a link and recognition for the ideas. Thanks!
Until next time,
Angel
