Back to work with dl_greenarrow

After that very long morning and an even longer nap, they woke up, or Oliver did and Chloe woke up when she felt him moving on the bed beside her. It took her a second to realize where they were but when she felt slightly uncomfortable because she had fallen asleep in her jeans, she remembered.

Rubbing her face, she took a deep breath and glanced at Oliver, whispering, "what time is it?"

He watched her for a moment. "I think you're the one who's supposed to be having those. What's your sixth sense telling you?"

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Rolling her eyes a little, she shook her head, "dads can have those too," she picked up some salad with her fork and shrugged, "I'm not sure? I haven't really stopped to think, I guess."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He grinned and took a bite of his salad, still holding onto her hand. He chewed and swallowed before speaking again. "I vote a pretty green for the nursery."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She rubbed her fingers against his, watching his face, "maybe once we are able to find an apartment. Are you gonna wanna know before it's born?"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He paused at that, looking up and meeting her eyes. "I've been thinking about that, actually. Uh, the first part that is. There's all that space beneath the Watchtower. It would take some work, but it could be a pretty nice place to live once it's cleaned up and cleared out."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Raising her eyebrows, she nodded a little, smiling, surprised by the suggestion, "I think that's a great idea," she didn't really want to leave the Watchtower behind since it was clear that this vigilante portion of their lives wasn't over, "we have time to get it ready."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"Ah, by we, if you meant me, yes." He took another bite of salad. "Maybe the guys would be willing to come help. They've never even been to Watchtower." Now that he thought about that, it struck him as odd.

Chloe gave him a look and shook her head, "just because I can't lift weight or be around strong smells doesn't mean I can't help, Oliver." She shook her head, "maybe we can clean out two floors and give the guys some room for when they are in town too."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He grinned at her. "And you've just given us the perfect reason to rope them into helping out." He winked at her and took a drink of his water.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Grinning brightly, she shrugged, "it wasn't my plan at all..." she said, taking another bite.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He chuckled softly. "No, certainly not, Mrs. Queen."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Chloe couldn't help but smile brightly at her new name, she was still getting used to it, but she had already legally changed it to Sullivan-Queen. It was nice to hear it, it represented her family.

"Now answer my other question, Mr. Queen."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He knew exactly which question she was referring to and he paused for a moment, thinking about it. "I'm not sure. What about you?" he asked curiously. It was something they hadn't really discussed yet.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Chloe chewed on a bite and swallowed before sipping on her soda, "you do know how curious I am, right?"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He chuckled. "You're right. I'm good with knowing as soon as we can," he told her, sitting back in his chair, amused.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Smiling at him, she shook her head a little, "we don't have to, I'll just be curious for a little less than seven months."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"It'll be good to know ahead of time. So we can buy things." At that, he grinned brightly, excitement flashing in his eyes.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

It was nice to watch him so openly happy, refreshing, even. "Just so you know, if it is a girl, I'm not buying everything pink for her."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

At that, his eyes widened a little. "What? What happened to tradition, Chloe?" His voice was teasing.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Chloe pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows at him, "considering the baby was conceived before we got married, I'm pretty sure tradition has gone out the window."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"But at least we'd already agreed to get married. That counts for something, right?" He grinned.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Cocking her head, she smirked, "not when we had sex we hadn't." She teased lightly, taking another bite.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He shrugged a little, still grinning. "Tradition's overrated."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

"Clearly," she grinned up at him, cocking her head a little, "as is the color pink."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"Agreed." He grinned back at her, taking a bite of his salad. "So green then?" His voice was light.
