They made it back to the Watchtower in no time and once they made sure Mia and Michael weren't going anywhere, they made their way to their floor, where Lois took the guest room Mia had been sleeping in when she was little and Chloe and Oliver made their way to their own room.

She took a deep breath as they made their way inside, walking slowly because of the cuts on her feet, she was incredibly relieved to be home, even more relieved that they were all okay, but they still had so much to talk about and to process, she wasn't even thinking about sleeping, no matter how exhausted her body was, her brain was going miles a minute.

"You have no idea how much I missed this bed," she told him quietly, mostly to get the conversation started, because if she was honest, she was a little nervous about finally being alone with him, she knew they had some difficult topics to discuss.

Oliver let out a breath and pulled away to look at her. "Come on," he whispered, shifting slightly and moving to stand up.

She looked up at him for a moment then took a deep breath and pushed herself up, taking his hand in hers for support so she wouldn't put too much weight on her feet, "shower?" She asked quietly, she couldn't wait to get rid of the blue uniform, but she also didn't want to be away from him.

Oliver nodded slightly, then slid his arms beneath her knees, picking her up and suppressing a wince as the move pulled against his still-healing ribs. He kissed her cheek softly, carrying her toward their bathroom.

Chloe stilled as she saw the hint of a wince on his face and her eyes widened as she patted his arm instantly but didn't try to move not to make it worse, "put me down, you're still hurt."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"Shh," he told her, stepping into the bathroom. "I'm all right." He gently set her down on the sink, meeting her eyes. He cupped her cheek in one hand and kissed her softly on the mouth.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She returned the kiss instantly just as softly as she leaned into his touch, her chest tight as she pulled placed her hands on his arms and rubbed it soothingly, both to help him and herself relax, at least they were both together now.

He leaned his forehead against hers for a long moment, closing his eyes. Then he opened them once more, pulling away from her and reaching out, unbuttoning the buttons on her blue uniform. Swallowing hard he slid the shirt off her shoulders and pressed a kiss to her neck. "I love you."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Chloe shivered softly and kept her eyes closed as she moved her hands to his sides then to his back to tug the dress shirt he was wearing from his pants, "I love you."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

Oliver shrugged out of his shirt a moment later, letting it pool on the floor with hers, keeping his eyes on her intently.

She took a deep breath and cupped his face in her hand, watching him closely for a long moment, "I'm so glad you're okay," she whispered to him.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad we're both..." He paused, his eyes widening a little. "All three of us are okay." He looked down at her stomach.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Chloe swallowed hard at that, holding her breath as she looked down at her stomach too, pursing her lips together before hesitantly raising her free hand to her stomach, "I was so worried I wasn't going to be able to break out and they would find out about it."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He swallowed hard, too, covering her hand with his own silently and then pressing a kiss to her forehead.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She closed her eyes for a second and sighed deeply, "we need to ask Emil, find out how far along I am."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

Oliver nodded a little. "We will," he whispered. "And we'll find out what we're supposed to be doing." He rubbed her back gently.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

"Okay," she took a deep breath and nodded a little, looking back at him and kissing his cheek softly, "let's take a shower and go to bed, I'm sure you haven't been sleeping nearly enough."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"You either," he said quietly, tucking some hair behind her ear and carefully helping her off the sink. He slid his arms around her, carefully unfastening her bra and kissing her cheek as he slid it off her body, letting it fall to the floor as well.

"Actually," she said, undoing his pants and leaning into him, "sleeping is pretty much all I did for the past two weeks, this kid is quite the energy sucker and I haven't been able to have coffee..."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"You've been okay otherwise? Tired and nauseous?" he murmured, sliding his hands down her back gently.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

"I've been okay," she promised, "tired and nauseous have been pretty much a constant, need to ask Emil if there is any way to make that better too," she told him quietly, pushing his pants down.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"We'll call first thing in the morning," he whispered. "Unless you wanna call when we're out of the shower. Whichever." He pushed her pants down, as well, sliding his arm around her and guiding her into the tub.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

"No," she told him quietly, stepping into the tub and starting the water, wincing a little as it hit the cuts on her feet but relaxing a second later, "tomorrow is fine, I just want to be with you tonight."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"You've got me," he whispered, stepping into the shower behind her and pulling the door shut.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Chloe turned to face him and took a deep breath, wrapping her arms around him, "where are you hurt still?"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He slid his arms around her, too, closing his eyes as the water tumbled down on them. "Shh, don't worry. I'm fine," he whispered.
