"Me too, Chlo. But being mad isn't going to help you or the baby," Oliver pointed out, twirling a few strands of her hair with his fingers.

"I love you. You are always right," Chloe said, a smile in her voice.

"I have to be to be married. Especially being married to you," Oliver teased as he kissed her lips lightly.

Chloe whacked his chest hard with a playful grin. "Ouch!" Oliver exclaimed as she huffed dramatically.

"Serves you right, Mr. Queen. You should know better than to tease a oversensitive pregnant woman. You saw how Lois reacted," Chloe said.

"My bad. You forgive me?" Oliver asked, giving her his best puppy-dog look.

"If you kiss me then maybe I'll forgive you," Chloe said, pressing her lips against his.

A few minutes later they looked at the stars from the porch, Oliver holding her in his arms. "I still wish you didn't have to go tomorrow. I could just stand here forever with your arms around me and we watch the stars," Chloe said, watching a star go across the sky like Haley's comet.

"The sooner we catch Lex the sooner we can do just that. Just don't fret, Chloe. I'll find Lex and then you and the baby will be safe," Oliver promised, kissing the top of her head gently.

"We will be home before the baby is born, right, Ollie?" Chloe asked, playing with one of his shirt buttons nervously.

"I don't know. Just take care of yourself and Ashley and don't worry about Lex," Oliver said, kissing her lips gently. Chloe kissed him back, running her fingers through his hair.

The next few months passed slowly. Chloe, Lois, the twins, and Ashley were no closer to coming home than they were when Lois and Chloe had found out they were both pregnant. Now the Kents' were dealing with two extremely pregnant women.

Oliver and Clark came every weekend to be with their wives. Chloe and Lois had become huge; Lois more so since she carried twins. Both husbands though were wise not to say anything about the size of their wives; the women both said it enough. Chloe especially. Around month seven she found she couldn't wear her pants any more and so Martha took her and Lois out to buy maternity clothes.

Besides his wife's size taking him by surprise he had also felt surprised when the baby started to kick around month five. Feeling his daughter's kicks confirmed the fact that Chloe was having a baby, not just that she ate too much dinner.

Month five was when all the parents then went to find out the sex of the babies. Clark and Lois were having a boy and a girl and Chloe and Oliver were just having a girl. That gave the guys the incentive to start decorating the nurseries.

Now they were in the last month and it was December. The way it looked all the babies were going to be Christmas babies. Oliver was going to Smallville with Clark after they looked around the city for Lex.

The following week came soon. It was the middle of December and the Kent's were decorating the house with Christmas decorations to give Chloe and Lois a home look feel. Chloe ate her dinner and both her and Lois talked about how they needed to get their Christmas shopping done. "Maybe Martha could take us after supper to do some shopping".

Martha looked up at them "Shouldn't you two rest after eating? It's been a full day and you girls look tired".

Chloe laughed. "Mrs. K, we may be very pregnant but it shouldn't have to slow us down none. Besides, I don't go to bed until around 10, and there is several hours of daylight left. If we dont get any shopping done, then it probably won't get done since our due dates are very close".

Lois looked at her cousin then to Mrs. Kent. "Chloe does have a point. Besides we just only have Family and some close friends to shop for so it shouldn't take long".

Mrs. Kent looked at both girls and decided maybe shopping would be a good thing. She just couldn't shake the bad feeling she got from it though. If Lois or Chloe overdid things, she'd never hear the end from Clark or Oliver. "Okay, but two hours of shopping is all that we're going to do".

"YES!, We love you Mrs. K!" said Chloe giving the woman a hug "It sure beats doing that than sitting around here and complaining how fat we are".

Lois laughed "Yeah really. I just need to go upstairs and change into some better clothes". Lois had been wearing pjs all day and Chloe had been to since they hadn't been anywhere.

Chloe "Oh yeah, I've gotta go change to. Shouldn't take me to long". she disappeared upstairs and into the guest bedroom her and Ollie shared. Chloe got out a pretty dark blue maternity dress and put it didn't like the idea of not being able to wear her jeans anymore but it was to be expected since she was having a baby. She touched her stomach and said to the baby "You know, someday you'll have to go through the same thing to having a baby, just wait and see". she felt Ashley kick inside of her and smiled. She had read awhile back that babies could hear everything while inside her stomach even music. Chloe often let Ashley listened to music. The baby liked country, and some pop/rock but disliked too much rap. Chloe curled her hair some with a curling iron and applied some makeup. She was just about done with she heard her cell phone going off. That was odd, Oliver rarely called her during the daytime when they were busy trying to find Lex. Chloe turned to find her cell she found it and saw a number below it said Oliver but what would he be doing calling her this early?

Oliver put on some cologne. He was going to see Chloe today! Of course it was going to be a surprise since it was the middle of the week. Dinah had called him without Chloe's knowledge and said that Chloe was down because of her shape.

Having the baby coming in less than a month was hard on her and Oliver wished he could be there for her more than weekly visits. Oliver couldn't wait for the day he held his little girl. He had seen fetal monitors and Dr. Hamilton said that the baby was healthy and Chloe should deliver on time if nothing went wrong.

Oliver's phone rang, startling him out of his reverie. "Hello?" Oliver asked.

"Oliver, thank God we found you! Chloe's missing!" Lois's shrill voice came over the line, scaring ten years out of Oliver's life.

Chloe woke up in a dark cold room. It reminded her of one of those rooms in the movies where a damsel in distress was kept. Dungeon with bars and she was chained up against the wall. Chloe tried to break free from the chains but it was no use she wasn't good at breaking out of those things like Oliver was. Oliver could use almost anything from a paperclip to a part of a coat hanger to get out of cuffs or chains. Chloe's head pounded, she had been hit hard from behind when she was lured into the alley behind her and Oliver's favorite restaurant the Olive Garden. She had looked for him everywhere, but he never showed. Guess he had better things to do, thought Chloe. That's when she was attacked by some men then knocked on the head with something. Was it a gun they used to knock her out with?

Chloe's eyes adjusted to the dark. Here she was, helpless and no way out. Now maybe Lois was right, maybe she was a damsel in distress. She groaned. She wanted to a be a tough wife for Oliver not some helpless person. But even she couldn't defeat her captor on her needed help. Oliver. Chloe thought of his name and started crying. She missed him already. He wouldn't probably find out she's missing until that following weekend. Chloe struggled with the chains grunting.

"Nice to see that our fiesty little reporter has woken up", said a familiar voice. Chloe looked up and stepping out of the darkness was Lex Luthor!

Oliver felt his heart race and he nearly felt like passing out. Chloe and the baby was in trouble! He had to find them before anything happened, but he didn't have an idea on how to start. Except in Smallville.

He left a message with Clark, John, and Carter and asked them to meet him in Smallville at the Kent farm. They needed to plan their next move and find Chloe before the baby decided to come early. He only hoped that they got their in time.

Chloe woke up hours later. She was beginning to lose track of time; when was the last time she had something to eat? It was this morning the Kents had made breakfast Eggs, bacon, and toast. Chloe's stomach rumbled. Oh how she wanted food like now, she thought. She was glad when Lex finally left leaving her to be by herself. She'd rather be alone than be with some psycho. He had said he was keeping her hostage to pay Oliver back for the way he had treated him in School. Chloe had simply rolled her eyes and told Lex that he dwelled on the past too much and that Oliver had changed into a better person. Lex thought it would be fun to make Oliver suffer by making him watch his wife and child suffer.

Ollie where are you? Chloe's mind asked desparately. Please find me soon as you can! If he even knows I'm missing. Another thought entered her mine. He has to know I'm missing, he's just having a hard time finding me that's all. Then Chloe remembered a necklace Oliver gave her for an early Christmas gift only recently. It was a Turquise Stone Butterfly necklace and it was silver real silver and gemstones was real to. He had also said that inside the necklace was a small GPS tracking device that whenever she was in trouble, he would be able to find her using his special Green Arrow Techniques. Chloe hoped he remembered the necklace. She wore it now it was on her neck most of the time except when she slept at night

.

Oliver grabbed his crossbow, his thoughts on Chloe and the baby. He just had to find her before Lex hurt her and Ashley! "Oliver, maybe we should be the ones to find her," Clark said hesitantly.

Oliver turned and looked at his friend with a glare. "If that was Lois you'd go find her," Oliver said, knowing that was a little unfair. Clark flinched slightly as if Oliver had hit him.

"Clark's only saying that you are too emotionally attached since Chloe's your wife and she's having your baby," John said, trying to explain.

"She is still my wife," Oliver said.

"We don't know where to even start," Carter said.

"Didn't you say that Chloe wore a necklace with a transmitter in it?" Clark asked, reminding Oliver of something he had nearly forgotten.

"Of course! I am so stupid!" Oliver exclaimed, going to a machine and pushing a button. The screen lit up like an infrared radar and a flashing blimp was in the middle of the screen.

Chloe was tired and hungry but mostly just tired. It had been hours since she last ate or drank something. Her throat was dry and she knew her baby was hungry and so was she. Chloe looked over at Lex. "Lex please go get me something to eat and drink. I'm pregnant and I haven't had anything for hours and my headache keeps getting worse". she pleaded him with her eyes.

Lex looked at her "How do I know your not planning to escape?" he asked raising an eyebrow. He was drinking some scotch.

Chloe rolled her eyes. "Don't be stupid Lex! I'm chained up; how am I going to be able to go anywhere? If Oliver finds out you had been starving us, he'll be the one person you'll have to deal with".

She had a point and Lex had to keep her alive if she was going to be his hostage. "I didn't know you were pregnant Chloe. But either way, you and the baby will have to die to get back at Oliver. Two hostages is better than one!" he grinned at her.

"Lex, don't be so cold!Why take something so personal that happened a long time ago?! Oliver was right, you do belong in jail". said Chloe. "And you need mental help".

Lex glared at her "Some things in this life isn't forgiveable as all the bullying I had to put up with from Oliver and his buddies". he then paused sipping a drink. "Do you know what they did to me? Tried to drown me in a tub of water! They thought it was hilarious and a traditional School prank!"

Chloe listened. "That's the past Lex! Like 20 something years ago! Oliver isn't the same person anymore! He learned how to treat people, has better friends now, and he regrets how he treated you long time ago! Killing us, it won't solve anything except get you years in jail. Is that what you want? Can you live with that the rest of your life Lex? Going to jail for murder?" Chloe tried to get him to think about the consequences of his needed to stall time so that Oliver could get there.
