Oliver entered the apartment with a wounded heart at no sign of Chloe. Part of him knew that she wouldn't be there when he got back, but the other part hoped and prayed that she would. He decided to take a shower and turn in for what was the hardest day of his life. Every step he took to his bedroom felt as if he was walking in quicksand.

The room was dark and didn't have the same feel as before. The flashbacks of the night that he and Chloe made love for the first time played in his head as a single tear fell down his cheek. He knees became week and he fell down upon them. How could he go on knowing that she was the only person he'd ever really loved.

"Do all millionaires sit on the floor in the dark?" A familiar voice said.

Oliver couldn't believe his ears. He stood up and turned to see Chloe standing there in her P.J.'S looking amazing. "Chloe,… you're here!"

"Where-else would I be?" She smiled.

He rushed over to her, pulling her in for a hug. "I thought I'd lost you." He pulled back and looked into her eyes. "What made you stay?"

She walked over and took a seat on the silk sheets. "Your right. We need to make this work for the baby. She'll need her father just as much as she'll need me." She grinned. "I can't keep you from her, I'm not heartless."

"I never said you were." He walked over and sat down next to her. "We'll take this slow and I promise, you wont regret it."

She placed her hand on his cheek. "I hope your right." She paused as their eyes met. She felt something stir within her that she never felt before and it scared her. "Well I should get some sleep."

"Yeah." He stood up and scratched the back of his head. "I'll shower and I'll sleep on the couch."

"Maybe you should think of finding a bigger place. A place with an extra room for the baby." She said as she tucked the sheets around her.

He grinned the biggest grin possible. "I'll start tomorrow." He walked over to the bathroom door. "Chloe,…"

"Yeah."

"Thank you." He said as he entered the bathroom.

The sun was high in the sky as Clark hammered the nail into the wooden post. He could easily use his powers and have every chore on the farm done by now, but he didn't have the strength and he didn't haven anything to hurry home for. He looked up at the Lexus pulling into the driveway. He figured Lex had bought Lana a new car, but he was shocked to see Chloe getting out of the driver seat.

"Hey," She said with a basket in her hand.

"Nice wheels."

"Yeah, Oliver thought it would be safer than my Yaris." She tried to smile a comforting smile.

"Why are you here?"

His words were cold and edgy, but she deserved it she guessed. "I thought maybe we could have a picnic down by the pond and talk."

"You made your choice, Chloe… and I'm okay with that."

"Really." She asked shocked by his words.

"Yeah. I mean he can give you a lot better life than I can." He started to walk by her, but she reached out and took him by the arm.

"I'm not with him for the money, nor the love, I'm with him because Lex asked to me find out some things that could help me win a custody case against him." She looked into his tear stained eyes. "Clark, I've loved you since the day we first met, and despite all my falls and all my mistakes, I still do love you."

He shook his head. "No. its too dangerous, I want let you get caught between them."

"I'm doing this for us. And you can't stop me."

He knew there was no reasoning with her. He leaned in and kissed her lips softly. He pulled back keeping his tight grip on the woman he loved, the woman he wanted to spend every breathe with. "I wish you would rethink this and just come home were the two of you belong. We'll find away to fight Oliver."

"I love you for the fact that you can see the good in all people. But let me do this." She reached up and kissed him once again.
