Two days later........
Oliver felt sore and achy when he felt himself wake up slowly. This couldn't have felt any worse than the time when he had been poisoned. He groaned painfully.
"Oliver!" Chloe's excited voice registered in his brain and he forced his eyelids open.
Chloe, Clark, and Lois were all in the room and Chloe all but ran to him and pressed her lips to his. "Chloe, let him breathe," Lois said in a teasing voice.
Chloe smiled at him as she sat down and stroked his face and hair gently. "How..long?" Oliver asked in a whisper.
"Two days. Oh, Oliver, I was so scared!" Chloe exclaimed in a wail.
"I kept hearing you. You were kissing me," Oliver said as the doctor came in the room.
"Welcome back, Mr. Queen. We almost lost you," the doctor said as he looked at Oliver's heart rate on the screen next to the bed.
"That bad?" Oliver grunted.
"Yes. We had to use the paddles to bring you back," the doctor said.
Oliver groaned again. "But I have some good news, Ollie. I took a pregnancy test," Chloe said with a bright smile on her face.
"And?" Oliver asked, remembering what Chloe had been suffering from two days before.
"I'm pregnant," Chloe said simply. Oliver smiled slowly. He was going to be a dad. If he hadn't been shot he would have picked Chloe up and spun her around the room just now.
Chloe was thrilled when Oliver started to wake up. He was alive! Chloe was hoping he wouldn't let her down and leave her alone to raise this baby. She just couldn't do it without him. Now it looked like she had just made his day by telling him what news he wanted to hear.
"That's right. Your going to be a daddy. And it's a good thing you woke up to. I was so terrified that I might have to wind up raising this baby alone". said Chloe.
Lois nodded "She's been a mess the whole two days Oliver. We had to practically get her to calm down and eat and take care of herself. We also told her that you were the Green Arrow and Heroes don't die that easily especially you without fighting".
Dinah "And we kept telling her that you have been through worse things than this". meaning about the time he had been poisoned. It was Chloe who had been lucky enough to find the cure for Oliver.
Chloe grabbed Oliver's hand "How are you feeling?" she asked him softly .
"I've felt better. How about you? Did you find out what the baby is?" Oliver groaned as Chloe picked up his hand and kissed it gently.
"Not yet. I'm only a couple of months pregnant, Oliver," Chloe said dryly.
"He's worse than Clark. Clark asked me the same question when we found out about our baby," Lois teased.
"You too?" Oliver asked, looking at Clark and Lois in surprise.
"Yeah. I just hope we can find a doctor who can deliver a baby without asking questions about it's Kryptonian side. My father never wanted me to see a doctor, except for extreme emergencies. I lost my powers once and a doctor had to bandage my ribs. Then I was infected by Kryptonite and Lex's girlfriend who was a doctor took a blood sample. Then I went blind and I did go to the eye doctor. This is the first time I ever felt like my father. If they find out that my daughter or son is half-Kryptonian they could take the baby away from us," Clark said.
"Well, we'll just have to figure out how to protect the baby. At least we have seven months to figure out a plan," Carter said.
"Lex is still out there too. He knows your secret, Clark. He kidnapped me when he found out I was infected by meteor rocks," Chloe said, sounding doleful.
Protecting Clark's baby was going to be harder than protecting Oliver's. There was also a chance that the baby might have Clark's abilities. But then again it would also be human. He or she might not get anything.
Chloe hoped that they could figure out a way to protect Lois and Clark's baby as well as there own. She wanted all of their children to grow up in a safe environment. Chloe felt so tired and she had dark circles under her eyes. She hadn't ate much since this morning when she ate a bagel from the downstairs cafeteria. She had been more worried about Oliver than her own self. For the past several nights, she barely slept at all except off and on and when she did she often had nightmares about Oliver.
She knew Oliver was strong and chances were that he would pull through if the bullet wound wasn't life threatening. But it nearly had taken his life and they had to bring him back with paddles. The Nurses and Doctors had to prescribe her some sedative pills. Ones that would be safe for the baby of course. Chloe couldn't drink hardly any caffeine. The Doctor told her to stay away from it and only drink Water and caffeine free drinks.
Chloe desparately wanted some coffee bad right now. She wanted to be awake and be by Oliver's side. She didn't want Oliver to see how tired she truly felt, how hungry she really was, and she didn't want to collapse in front of him which she felt like doing right now.
The others talked to Oliver for awhile before leaving to go about their usual day. They promised to be back later to check on them. Lois gave her cousin a look that said get something to eat, and get some rest! Your about to crash! before she said goodbye to Oliver and her and the others walked out the door.
Chloe looked at Oliver still not believing he was awake and alive. When everyone left, she gave Oliver a gentle hug. She hoped that maybe hugging him would keep Oliver's thoughts from drifting over to her.
