When Chloe next woke up, she was pressed up against Ollie's back, her arm was wrapped tightly around him and her forehead was resting against his back. Nellie had gotten on the bed at some point too and was sleeping between Chloe's and Oliver's legs, her head resting on his ankles from what Chloe could see without moving too much.

She wasn't sure how he was going to react to waking up with her like this, but she didn't plan on moving, she knew he didn't believe her or her feelings for him, and she couldn't blame him for it, but she also wasn't going to give him an option. She was going to take care of him and prove to him that she did love him, no matter what she had to do to get him to believe her.

It had taken her weeks before she managed to find him again. Luckily he hadn't left town and since she was still operating from his Star City penthouse, she didn't even need a ride from Bart to get to him, she had managed to track him down to one of his properties, the building had been under construction for a while and it wasn't finished yet, but she had found satellite images of him walking into it three separate times so she guessed that was where he was staying.

Of course, it was twenty stories high and with no elevators so she was breathless by the time she reached the nineteenth floor. There had been no sign of Oliver anywhere, but if she knew him at all, he would have picked the very top floor.

She made her way to the twentieth floor as quietly as she could after stopping for a few moments to catch her breath and as she reached it, she held her breath. There were a couple of things scattered around the floor, empty bottles and a t-shirt, he really was there. Or had been as it seemed that the floor was not completely empty except...

Pursing her lips together, she looked over her shoulder back at the stairs, she could feel the wind, the sea breeze hitting her and it wasn't coming from below. Of course. The roof. Oliver seemed to have a thing for roofs especially when he had to clear his mind, it was usually where he stood, the place he chose to hide.

With a deep breath, she reached for her shoes and took them off, dropping them to the ground silently along with her purse before slowly making her way up the last few steps and, sure enough, the roof door was open, she could hear the ocean outside, there wasn't a lot of traffic anymore, it was past two in the morning after all. She wondered if he was patrolling, but she doubted it.

Holding her breath, she stepped out on the roof, her eyes falling on him instantly and then she stilled completely.

Chloe grunted in her sleep as the noise started to tug her toward consciousness. At the second ring, she turned and blindly felt her way around the bedside table for her phone, accidentally knocking out the glass of water and causing the dog, who was sharing a bed with her, to jump and vanish from the room.

"Nellie, it's okay," she called then sighed, opening her phone and laying back on her pillow, the glass was plastic since she was prone to breaking them so she would worry about the water later.

Whoever it was that was calling her at four in the morning better have a good reason for it, "hello?"

It was a little after ten when her computer informed her of an incoming call. She frowned a little and held her breath as she adjusted on her chair, the caller ID was telling her the caller was 'Emerald Archer' and although she knew they had planned a conference call, she was sure it had been canceled after the way their disastrous lunch ended.

With a deep breath, she nodded a little to herself and ran her fingers through her hair before accepting the call. She couldn't ignore work if he needed her and she had the feeling he wouldn't be calling unless it was extremely necessary.

You’re kidding right?

I’m Pregnant!

Since it was requested, but she's doing this under protest.

Ten minutes into the meeting, assuming you weren't late, bored yet?

Since the last time she saw him, Chloe couldn't get Oliver out of her head. That wasn't exactly unusual for her, since the first time, when he grabbed her off of the kitchen counter, he had been in her mind constantly, especially at night, when she was on her own and couldn't sleep because she couldn't stop thinking about him and how he could make her feel.

But this time, it had nothing to do with his prowess in bed and all to do with the things he said before he left to Star City.

As hard as she tried to ignore it, she couldn't seem to, she couldn't seem to forget the way he looked at her when he was telling her those things, he sincerely believed she could be good for someone, that she could be good for him.

On top of that, he told him he had fallen for her and he was willing to ignore how he felt for the sake of their friendship. Like she had before. And now she was putting him through what she had gone through and she felt awful about it, especially because she knew he was thinking she was doing this because she didn't return his feelings.

And she didn't, because she wasn't allowing herself to, because she had the feeling that if she let herself go, she would fall for him. Hard. And that scared her.

Chloe didn't know which was worse, she couldn't seem to decide it, but until them, she wanted to make sure he was okay, even if her instincts told her to pull away from him as far as she could, she simply couldn't do that to him.

They had been emailing back and forth a couple of times a day, not as often as they used to, but since today she hadn't heard from him all day, when she got home, she picked up the phone and called him. She didn't know what to say, but she needed to check in.

Chloe sighed, annoyed as she pushed a box out of the way to get to the pile of boxes behind it, she had refused to unpack, even if she had been at that place for almost three weeks now. She was moving as soon as her six month contract was up because she hated it.

She didn't mind the fact that it was small, about the size of the guest bedroom in the clock tower, but the fact that it was close to campus made it almost impossible to be at work at a decent time without fighting the ridiculous amounts of morning traffic, on top of that, she had neighbors upstairs that liked to have sex. A lot. All night. Every night. And she could hear all of it.

Frowning, she opened the box, she was looking for a specific shirt she wanted to wear to work that hadn't been in any of her work clothes boxes and she remembered packing it so it had to be there somewhere.

Just as she started going through the box, she stilled when she heard the knock on the door, she wasn't expecting anyone so she figured it was Lois, "coming," she called as she tried to make her way through the boxes and to the door.

Chloe shifted in her sleep a little, starting to wake up slowly until she felt him and stilled. His leg and arm were above her and he was laying behind her, holding her tightly. She shifted her legs a little and smiled. They were sore and his naked body pressing against hers told her it hadn't been a dream.

She opened her eyes a little and looked at the clock. It was almost eleven and she hadn't slept so well in a very long time. Her body felt incredibly relaxed and she sighed deeply and closed her eyes again. She wasn't ready to wake up.

Oliver was supposed to be back in Star City by now, but he didn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Not that she was complaining, the thing with her powers had really freaked him out, and honestly, it had freaked her out too.

The previous day hadn't been easy on either one of them, but he had successfully stolen her files and she had hacked the hospital's system and erased everything so they should be okay. But with everything that was going on, plus work and school, they hadn't really had much time to deal with things, although she expected that to change when she got home from class that night.

Not to her surprise, he was in the living room, seemingly working on his computer, but she knew he was waiting for her.

"Hey."
