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?"

Oliver pressed a kiss against her temple and turned over to pick up his watch off the small bedside stand. Squinting in the darkness of the room and against the brightness the green glowing digits let off, he frowned a little. "Nearly two."

With a sigh, she made a face, shaking her head a little, "we shouldn't have slept this long."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"You need your rest," he responded gently, turning onto his side so he was facing her. He rubbed her back gently. "How are you feeling?"

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She nodded slightly, rubbing her face, "I'm okay, you?" Her voice was quiet as she spoke, still trying to wake up.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He smiled at the sleepiness in her tone and kissed her forehead softly. "I'm all right," he told her.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Yawning, she smiled softly at him, nodding and rubbing her hand over his arm, "it's really quiet outside."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

At that, he arched his eyebrows. "Which is strange considering the guys are out there," he said, frowning a little.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Nodding, she frowned, she had heard them speaking in the background a couple of times when she was half awake and they really were trying to be quiet, but they couldn't be this quiet.

Frowning a little, she pushed herself up into a sitting position, "do you think they went out?"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, maybe," he said with a slight nod, sitting up slowly and stretching his arms above his head. He rose to his feet and headed for the door, turning the handle and pulling it open. Sure enough, his ears were met with utter silence. "They either went out or they're all asleep."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She got up too, walking over to where he was, glad that her stomach didn't turn the second she got up, it was always a nice change, and placed a hand over his back as she looked outside too, "maybe they are."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

Oliver glanced down at her for a moment, then reached down and took her hand in his. "Let's see what's going on." He led her out of the bedroom and down the hall toward the kitchen. To his surprise, there was a selection of crackers on the counter, all unopened, as well as a large bottle of 7UP.

Amusement flickered across his face and he looked at her again, raising his eyebrows.

Chloe laughed softly, shaking her head and squeezing his hand, "someone googled morning sickness."

A warm smile appeared on her face as she stepped forward, picking up the note that was on top of the crackers, "We got bored and went to do some research, be back later."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

Oliver couldn't help but grin, shaking his head a little. Even after two years of not talking to any of them, the team still took care of them. He slid his arms around Chloe from behind, resting his hands over her stomach and leaning in to kiss her cheek. "We have pretty amazing friends," he murmured, feeling grateful for their thoughtfulness.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Sighing deeply, smile still on her face, she nodded as she leaned back into him and rubbed her hands over his arms slowly, "we really do."

It was good to have the boys again, it had been just the two of them for so long, Chloe had forgotten how nice it was to have more people around and how much the team felt like a family to her. Especially now, it sounded even more important to have their support and their help, if something happened to her and Oliver, she had no doubt their baby would have those three to help it with anything they could.

He smiled softly as she leaned back against him. He rested his chin atop her head, taking the time to enjoy the quiet moment with her. "I still fully intend to fly us to Hawaii in the near future," he murmured.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

With a smile on her face, she turned her head up and kissed his cheek softly, "we will have our honey moon soon."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He smiled back at her without hesitation and then leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips. "You hungry at all?" he asked.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Nodding, she raised her eyebrows, looking up at him, "kinda starving, actually, you?"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"Also starving," he admitted, reluctantly letting her go and moving over to the refrigerator. He pulled it open and peered inside, surprised to see it was stocked with a decent selection of food.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Chloe picked up one of the boxes and opened it, pulling out a cracker, "find anything?" She asked before she started to eat, she'd probably stick to the crackers for now, but Oliver definitely needed more than that considering they might have a mission that same night.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"All kinds of stuff," he told her, glancing at her over his shoulder. "A little bit of everything. Anything in particular sound good?"

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She shook her head, lifting the box of crackers, "I'm good, find something for yourself."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He gave her a look. "You can't just eat crackers." He pulled some food out of the fridge and began to make a salad.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She couldn't help but grin a little at him, shaking her head, "I was planning on eating something else later, what are you having?"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"A salad," he told her with a smile. "There's actually fresh vegetables. A.C.'s doing is my guess. Maybe Vic's. Definitely not Bart." He grinned.
