"Hey honey, I'm running late and don't think that I am going to be able to make it to the PTA meeting tonight at Mia's school. Do you mind going for me? I know how much you despise it with all of the soccer moms but I promise I'll make it up to you." Felicity asks in a sweet voice knowing that even though Oliver hates going to those meetings he will because it's her who's asking.

Oliver sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, the last thing he wanted to do today was go to a PTA meeting. They moved into the suburbs of Star City when Mia was three and have been living there for the past six years and loving it. Felicity built up Smoak Tech and it's now in the top ten for highest-grossing tech companies in the nation and Oliver couldn't have been more proud of her.

Both Oliver and Felicity came to the decision of Oliver staying home with William, Mia, Lucas, and Tommy when they had moved originally. When Mia was three and Felicity wasn't even aware that she was pregnant for the second time.

Oliver loved being a stay at home dad don't get him wrong but anything that had to do with him interacting with the stay at home moms made him want to come out of retirement as the Green Arrow and go back into the line of fire. They looked at him like he was a piece of meat and it wasn't something that he enjoyed very much, or at all really. This was when he and Felicity came up with the agreement of her going to all of the PTA meetings.

Felicity thought that it was hilarious the way that all of the stay at home moms would ogle her husband, she would join in with them most times when both of them used to go. Seeing him blush as they all stared at him and talked about attractive and handsome he was was one of Felicity's favorite pastimes. Then it just didn't make sense for both of them to go so she started going alone when Oliver practically begged her not to make him go. Truly he acted like a three-year-old and started whining and pouting if it wasn't so incredibly adorable Felicity would have been angry at him abandoning her and making her go alone.

The only thing that made those meetings worth going to was Oliver and Felicity silently making fun of all of the overzealous moms. Now she has to go alone and deal with the stay at home mom's judging her for working and acting like they were better than her. After going to two meetings alone she understood why Oliver didn't want to come to these things. If it wasn't insanely illegal she would ruin half of these moms with a few keystrokes of her keyboard, but she was retired and hasn't done anything like that in nearly ten years.

This is why she feels bad asking him to go alone, but also at the same time she doesn't feel too bad because she doesn't have the energy to deal with Karen Henderson and her posse of housewives. Who apparently still live in 1964 and judges other mothers for working.

Oliver sighs heavily, he knows that she's not doing it on purpose. She only makes him go to these things every once in a blue moon which is part of the reason he knows that he can't say no. He just doesn't want to have to continuously turn these women down when they hit on him and make sexual comments towards him. The only person that he likes that from is his wife, which for some reason these women seem to forget that he has one of those.

"Are you sure that you won't make it home in time to go?" Oliver whines in one last-ditch effort to see if she might be able to make it in time when he very well knows that she wouldn't be asking unless it was her last resort.

Felicity smiles and chuckles, he sounds like Mia when she doesn't get something that she wants, she now knows where the nine-year-old gets it from. "I'm sure. There's a lot going on at the office right now with the project that we are doing with Wayne Enterprises, there's no way I am getting out of here early. I'm sorry."

Oliver frowned and looked over at their four-year-old Tommy as he was contently playing by himself. He loved his kids don't get him wrong but having to go to their schools or PTA meetings is the worst part of having kids.

"It's okay, I know that you probably tried your hardest to get away from work stuff. What time do you think you'll get home tonight?" Oliver asks knowing his wife well enough and that she is probably going to work herself until she nearly collapses.

"Another couple of hours, I will try my hardest to make it home before bedtime. Thank you for going to the PTA meeting again, I really appreciate it. I don't have the energy to deal with those moms today, I probably would have ended up punching one." Felicity joked as Alena signaled to her that she was needed, Felicity loved having her career but there were some days that she wished that she could play hooky and spend the entire day with her family.

"I would love to see you punch out one of those moms, they deserve it for half of the stuff that you tell me that they say about you," Oliver jokes.

Felicity laughs and tells Alena one more minute just wanting to talk to her husband and relax for a few more seconds before she gets into CEO mode. "I would be the talk of the town and they would probably throw a riot. I gotta go though babe, I promise I will try and get out of here as soon as I can."

"Okay, I love you. Don't forget to eat something, we don't need you passing out." Oliver says with a chuckle knowing how his wife gets when she gets into the zone.

"Don't worry about me. I love you too, give the kids a kiss from me." Felicity says before hanging up and going back into her meeting with a smile on her face as she pictures all of the stay-at-home moms hitting on him.

Oliver sighs and walks upstairs to William's room, he was currently home from university for the weekend and thanked God that he wouldn't have to bring the kids with him to the PTA meeting. The moms would have swarmed him and ten e really would have been toast.

"Hey Will? Do you think that you can watch your brother and sister for an hour or so while I go to the PTA meeting tonight?" Oliver asks knowing that Will was going to say yes, he loves both of his little siblings and barely sees them considering he isn't home while away at University.

"Yeah dad of course, but I thought mom normally went to that because you don't wanna deal with the moms," Will asks trying not to laugh. The number of times that he has heard his dad whine and complain abo9ut those meetings were countless, Felicity would call him and tell him how much of a child his dad was for letting those moms get to him.

"She does but she's in a really important meeting with Bruce Wayne and the project that the two of them are working on. She can't get out of the meeting to go so she asked me, thanks for watching them. I really didn't want to have to bring them with me, those moms are even worse when I bring the kids along." Oliver says rolling his eyes and Will can't help but laugh at his dad and shake his head.

"I still don't see why you can't just tell them that you aren't interested and to leave you alone," Will says moving past his dad to go downstairs and start making dinner for the little munchkins.

Oliver follows him downstairs and rolls his eyes, why was is that both he and Felicity find this so comical? This was serious, he was about to get mauled by a bunch of PTA moms and neither one of them cared.

"It's not that easy, I tell them nicely to leave me alone but they just smile at me as if I told them that I was leaving Felicity to be with them. I swear to you these women are psychotic." Oliver says and Will starts to make some spaghetti while listening to his dad trying not to laugh.

"How are you the same man that faced down Adrian Chase without flinching and yet going to a PTA meeting makes you quiver in fear?" Will asks letting his laughter bubble out not being able to resist the urge any longer. Felicity was completely right, he did act like Mia when told he had to attend one of these things.

"I resent that comment and these women are vultures and at least I could punch Adrian Chase. If I punched one of these women I would get arrested and that's the last thing we need is for me to go to prison again." Oliver says glad that they were all to the point that they could joke about the things that happened in the past.

"Well, at least this time we wouldn't have to go into the witness protection program." Will jokes with a smile on his face looking back at his dad. It really is hard to believe that the man sitting in front of him was the same one from back then. When he thinks of his dad now he thinks about the domesticated dad who does carpool and playdates and goes on field trips with his daughter's class, he doesn't think of the guy that could take out ten guys without even breaking a sweat.

Oliver chuckles and shakes his head and gets up throwing on a pair of sneakers and his leather jacket before going back into the kitchen. "Are you sure that you're okay with watching them? I don't want to make you cancel any plans."

"I'm good I didn't have any plans tonight anyway, is Mia staying across the street for dinner?" Will asks knowing that she and her best friend Skylar spend nearly every second together and trying to separate them was hardpressed sometimes.

"No. She should be home any minute actually she has been talking all week about you coming home for the weekend and how she was going to make you play with her," Oliver says. He will never stop thanking whatever god was up there for giving him such an amazing son that loves his little siblings so much.

"Can't wait. Now you better get going or you're going to be late," Will says.

"That's the plan," Oliver says hoping that if he is late the moms won't notice him slip in and it will be like he wasn't even there.

He drives the short distance to the elementary school and parks the car, he takes a deep breath and gets out of the car walking into the school and into the school gym pinching the bridge of his nose hearing all of the shrill voices of all of the moms. He silently wonders if he could just skip and tell Felicity that he went when he didn't. He knows he can't and that Felicity will instantly know that he didn't.

"Come on Queen you can do this. Will is right, you faced Adrian Chase so you can face Karen Henderson and her posse of moms." He takes a deep breath and walks into the gym standing at the back by the food table not even planning on sitting down in hoping to stick to the shadows.

Oliver is there for ten minutes and thinks that maybe the moms won't notice him but he was wrong as he sees Aly Morris, Karen's right-hand mom walking up to him.

"Here we go." He says under his breath for only himself to hear.

"Well look who's here if it isn't the handsome Oliver Queen, where's your wife tonight?" Aly asks and it takes everything in him to be polite, his mother would roll over in her grave if she found out that he wasn't polite.

"She is currently at work, her company is currently working a deal with Wayne Enterprises and couldn't get away." Oliver says looking down at the table and grabbed a cup of awful coffe.

"I don't know how she does it. I mean I wouldn't be able to be away from my kids for that many hours a day and I wouldn't ever want to get out of bed with a husband that looks like you." Aly says and she touches his bicep and squeezes and he suddenly wishes that he had more friends who were dads that came to these things so that he could run to one of them and hopefully escape this. He doesn't know how Felicity survives these things once a month with these women.

Suddenly he hears a familiar voice beside him and a hand on his back and looks to his right to see none other than his wife standing there swooping in to save him. "Hey honey sorry I'm late, what did I miss?" Oliver could have taken her against the gym wall for how thankful he was to see her.

"Oh Felicity it's good to see you, Oliver was just saying how you were working late and couldn't make it tonight," Aly says a look of bitterness evident on her face.

"Aly it's so great to see you, you won't mind if I steal my husband right?" Felicity asks not even rendering her comment with a response and just pulls Oliver away to talk to him alone.

"I thought you couldn't get out of your meeting with Bruce and that's why I had to endure this torture," Oliver says kissing her cheek in a greeting.

"What are you not happy to see me? Would you like to go back to being manhandled by Aly Morris? Because I can turn around and leave you to the wolves" Felicity smiles and points to the door never looking away from his eyes, she had a little glint in her eyes.

"No. No, please do not leave me here." Oliver says practically clinging to her making her laugh and shakes her head still not looking away from her adorable husband.

"You are so cute when you are like this you know that?" Felicity asks wrapping her arms around his waist making him smile down at her and wrapping his arms around her waist as well. They both smile at each other like the love-struck idiots that they are and she leans up and gives him a quick kiss.

"Thank you for saving me," Oliver says beaming down at her, he was always the one saving everyone else but this time his wife saved hi and he couldn't be more happy to finally be the damsel in distress.

"Thanks for letting me," Felicity said smiling up at him giving him a quick kiss before snuggling into his chest just as the meeting began. She glanced a look at the posse of stay-at-home moms and saw them glaring at her and she didn't even have the energy to care. She was off wor early and snuggling with her husband at their daughter's school, things couldn't get better than this.
