Chloe hadn't made the drive to Smallville in a very long time, she had no reason to, not when everyone was usually in Metropolis anyway and her cousin worked less than two blocks away from where she lived, but today, she was driving down the familiar road south of the city once more.

She had asked Lois if she could come over so they could talk, sure, they could have just talked at the Watchtower but Chloe didn't want to chance being overheard by anyone, especially Ollie.

It was a little after ten when she got to the Talon and after getting coffee for her cousin, juice for herself and a couple of muffins, she made her way up the stairs, not bothering with knocking since she had texted her cousin a little while earlier letting her know she was close, mostly to make sure Lois was actually awake.

"Lo?" Chloe called as she pushed the door open while balancing the tray with their beverages on one hand and the bag with the muffins clutched in the other.

Chloe held her breath and nodded, "when I asked him if he thought we should get married, he pretty much jumped on it, but he said he could wait until I was ready and while I'm not really looking forward to doing the whole wedding thing again, I do want to be married to him."

"Well, it doesn't have to be a big thing," Lois pointed out, leaning forward. "I mean, just you two and me and Mia and Mike." She cocked her head to the side. "Or the entire league. You know. Whatever works."

"Yeah, I know and either way, first I need to let him know I want to marry him and that's the point, right?" Chloe placed her juice and muffin on the coffee table, "I mean, with the baby and everything, it will just make everything easier, especially if something happens to one of us, and besides, I'm pretty sure we both agree that this is it for us so there really isn't a reason not to." She pointed out.

Lois was silent for a moment, studying her. "You don't think it'll weird him out, do you? You proposing to him instead of the other way around?"

"I don't think so," she told her, "I mean, he said he was waiting for me, right?" And then she paused and frowned, "do you think it will?"

"I don't know. I mean, Ollie's a pretty progressive type guy, right? He'll probably just be surprised." She shrugged.

"Yeah," Chloe breathed, nodding, "he is, I think he will be okay with it, besides, I'm not planning on doing it in front of anyone else. It will mostly be me telling him I'm ready for it."

"So no ring?" she teased, grinning brightly.

"Even though I think he could rock the diamond ring, I don't think so." Chloe said, giving her a look.

Lois chuckled at her expression, clearly amused. "Well, you have to give him something for it. To symbolize it."

"I know," Chloe agreed quietly, "I'm not sure what would be a good way to symbolize it though, I mean, it has to be something he can wear all the time, right?"
