Clark and Lois ran into the hospital at breakneck speed. They had entered the house in time to hear Chloe sobbing over the answering machine. Oliver had been shot, trying to save Chloe. Clark squeezed his wife's hand as they ran down the corridor.
Lois had dated Oliver. While she was concerned for him, Clark could see that she was worried about Chloe too. "Smallville, Oliver can't die. It'd be terrible for that to happen to Chloe twice. She and Oliver haven't even been married that long. They've been so happy and they've even been trying to have a baby," Lois said, her voice wobbling slightly.
Clark understood that well. He and Lois had been married just as long and Lois had just found out they were going to have a baby. Clark had taken her to Dr. Hamilton to confirm that since he was worried that if any doctor ran a test they might discover that the baby was half-Kryptonian.
Clark noticed John, Carter, and Dinah waiting outside a room, looking just as worried as he felt. "How's Oliver?" Clark asked John.
"He's in critical condition. He and Chloe went to the movies and someone tried to shoot her. Oliver pushed her aside and took the bullet," John said. Clark looked in the window. Chloe sat beside Oliver's bed, her shoulders shaking. It didn't take much to see that Chloe was crying.
Clark and Lois entered the room. Chloe looked up, tears running down her face. "Lois!" Chloe wailed as she ran to her cousin. Lois hugged her tightly.
"John, told us what happened," Clark said as Chloe took her place beside Oliver, picked up his hand and pressed her lips to it.
"I can't lose him! I love him! And the doctor says I might be pregnant. That's why Oliver took me out. I wasn't feeling good and Oliver wanted to treat me," Chloe whimpered.
"It hasn't been confirmed yet?" Lois asked.
"No. Me and Oliver were going to pick up a pregnancy test on our way home tonight," Chloe said, swiping at her eyes.
"Clark can go get you one. and you can go into the bathroom there to find out," Lois said consolingly.
"Right now I don't want to think about it. I just want Oliver to be all right," Chloe said, reaching over and smoothing Oliver's forehead and hair with her hand.
"He will be, Chloe. But when he wakes up I think it'll make him happy if he finds out you're going to have a baby. Clark was," Lois said, smiling at her husband.
"What? Lois, you and Clark are going to have a baby?" Chloe asked, surprise in her eyes.
"Yes. I have been feeling sick for a week. I took a pregnancy test and Dr. Hamilton confirmed it since the baby's half-Kryptonian and doctors can't find out about Clark," Lois said, touching her still-flat stomach.
"Lois, if I am I just don't want to raise the baby by myself. I need Oliver," Chloe said, kissing Oliver's lips gently.
"I know, but Oliver would want you to take care of yourself too. Clark, go get a pregnancy test," Lois ordered. Clark left the room to be bombarded by questions.
"How's Chloe?" Dinah asked.
"Upset. She thinks she might be pregnant so Lois ordered me to get a pregnancy test," Clark said.
"Pregnant?" John asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
"Yes. Lois thinks that when Oliver wakes up that he'd want to know for sure that he's a father," Clark said as he ran down the hall.
Oliver felt himself slipping in and out of consciousness. The pain in his stomach caused him to remember vaguely that he had been shot, saving Chloe. Chloe! He hoped she was all right. Of course her kisses kept waking him up. Her kisses were soft and gentle on his lips, forehead and hand that she held against her lips.
"I love you, Ollie," Chloe's voice came through the drowsiness as if he was in a dark tunnel and she was at the other end of it. Oliver felt himself nod off again just as he heard Chloe stand up and say something to someone. He didn't wake up again for a long time.
"Oliver has slipped into a coma". was the words Chloe and her friends heard when The Doctor came out of Oliver's room. When Oliver had opened his eyes briefly Chloe had told him she loved him and thats when he slipped into unconciousness and the heart machine went crazy. Once, Oliver flat-lined; and that's when she had passed out and Carter caught her before she hit the floor. She awoke inher hospital room later being treated for shock.
When the Doctor came to bring her and her friends the news, he told them they were able to bring Oliver back and that he was alive but had just slipped into a coma. He also said that it may be awhile before Oliver could wake up. Then he left.
Chloe was thankful that Oliver was still alive and she just hoped that he would pull through this. He had to. What if she really was pregnant? There wouldn't be a way to raise this baby on her own without a father. And her and Ollie had recently just got married and hadn't been able to start their life together yet.
Soon Clark came back with a pregnancy test for Chloe. Lois and Dinah stood in Chloe's room and Lois handed her the test. "We'll be here when you come out, it's really simple and doesn't take long."
Chloe went into the bathroom . Once she was in there she opened the pregnancy test inside there was two sticks. Chloe took one and urinated inside the cup that was small and plastic. Next she took the Pregnancy test and stuck it into a cup that had her urine in it. She had to wait about 5 minutes.
She never had felt more nervous in her whole life. Except maybe that time when she did the exam in School or when she had a new story she wanted to share for the Torch. You're suppose to be here with me, Ollie. She thought.
Chloe spent most of her time 5 minutes was up, she looked at her watch. It's now or never to find out she thought. And I need to find out. Oliver needs to know as well. He would want me to do this.
Chloe reached for the pregnancy test once she reached the sink. She glanced at the stick. Inside of it were the words: Pregnant. Chloe's eyes filled with tears of happiness. It was what they both were wanting! Oliver would be so happy!
Chloe opened the door to find Lois and Dinah standing. "Well, what does it say Chloe?" asked Lois.
"It says I'm Pregnant". said Chloe managing a smile and happy tears still streaming down her face.
"That's so awesome cous!" said Lois with excitement. She ran up to hug Chloe.
"Oliver's going to be one happy man." said Dinah and she hugged Chloe as well
"Now all you have to do is confirm it with your Doctor". said Lois a big smile on her face. It was hard to believe that both her and Chloe were pregnant at the same time. They're kids would get to grow up together.
