Chloe got home a little later than she'd been expecting to, she had expected to be there nearly two hours ago and she was relieved Oliver was living with them now and felt comfortable enough to stay with Maddie, but she didn't want to abuse him or even for Maddie to get too attached to him only for them to have to go their separate ways again.

She had missed dinner time and she was glad she had bathed Maddie before she left for her work meeting and the to go see Lois, which had turned into her seeing Clark instead, but it was almost Maddie's bedtime and she couldn't help but wonder how behind on her schedule her daughter would be.

With a deep breath, Chloe unlocked the door and stepped inside, stilling when she saw her daughter leaning sleepily against Oliver even as she colored whatever drawing that was in front of her. Chloe took a deep breath and pursed her lips together, for someone who had never had a father figure in her life, Maddie seemed to like having him around a lot.

"Hey," she said quietly, "sorry I'm late."

Oliver was intently focused on the drawing that he and Maddie were both coloring, and he was actually a little startled when Chloe stepped inside. "Oh. Hey. It's all right," he told her, glancing down at Maddie and smiling a little.

"Can we read Tinkerbell tonight?" Maddie asked, adjusting on the bed and making room for her mom.

Oliver considered that, watching her for a moment. "Actually, I have another idea," he murmured, raising his eyebrows.

Oliver nodded slowly at that. "Because of Maddie," he murmured, searching her eyes.
