"She still not up yet?"

Rikki looked up from her copy of OK! Magazine and shook her head at Nate.

"Let her sleep. She's probably still jetlagged."

"Rik she's been here for 2 days. I'm worried about her."

"Why because she isn't up at the crack of dawn like you are. She was probably on the phone to Oliver last night. She misses him like crazy. Whenever his name comes up she looks sad."

"It's not only that Rik. I don't know what it is but she seems different. I don't know how but I guess it's just me being her older brother. I need to leave for practice but I'll see you…"

Nate stopped talking as soon as he saw and very tired looking Charlie walk into the kitchen wearing a black t-shirt that clearly wasn't hers. Rikki looked up from her magazine to watched Charlie pull a bowl out of the cupboard and pour some honey cheerios into the bowel. She then sat down and started eating the cheerios with her hands. Charlie looked up and saw Rikki looking at her with amazement.

"What?"

"Aren't you meant to have milk with those?"

Charlie looked down at her cheerios and shrugged her shoulders. Rikki looked up at Nate and he held up his hands.

"She does that. And I need to leave otherwise I'm gonna be late."

"Late for what?"

"Practice."

"Isn't it in the morning?"

"Not on a Friday Char. Now I'll see you later. Bye."

"Bye."

Rikki and Charlie said bye to Nate as he left the house and headed to the training ground.

"You need to go and get ready."

Charlie stopped eating and looked up at Rikki.

"Why?"

"Because my baby shower is in a few hours and I cannot do any heavy lifting as I am seven months pregnant."

Charlie looked down at Rikki's stomach and let out a loud groan.

"You are so lucky that I am half asleep and not able to argue with you."

Rikki rolled her eyes and stood up.

"Arguing with a woman in my position isn't a smart thing to do. Superhero or not. Now go and get ready."

Charlie didn't listen to her. Instead she carried on eating her cheerios. Rikki rolled her eyes and picked up the bowl of cheerios and put it by the sink.

"Hey!"

"Now Charlie."

Charlie looked up at Rikki and rolled her eyes. She then made her way upstairs and Rikki kept her eyes on the stairs until she heard the shower turn on in the guest bathroom. She knew Charlie was just tired so she let it go.

*****

"Rik is there anymore red ball?"

Rikki stopped talking to her sister and looked up at Charlie. The baby shower had been on for the last hour and this was the first time that she had actually seen Charlie. She had her hair pulled back in a high pony tail that was full of ringlets. She was wearing a white dress that stopped just above her knee and had a black waist belt on. Rikki smiled because Charlie looked nothing like she did that morning and it meant that she was in a much better mood.

"There should be another crate of 24 in the fridge."

"Alright. Hey Claire. How's uni?"

"It's getting there. I only have one more year left then I can finally say hello to law."

"Don't worry it'll fly by. I'm just gonna grab another drink and then we can catch up."

Claire nodded and Charlie smiled as she headed into the kitchen. She pulled the crate of red ball out of the fridge and poured it into the glass of vodka that she had already. She took one sip of it and sighed. Drinking one of Oliver's favorite drinks was one of the things she was doing to keep herself reminded of him. Charlie was just about to walk back into the living room when her phone rang. She rolled her eyes and put down her drink so she could flip her phone open.

"Hello?"

"Hey Char."

"Oh hey Clark. What's up?"

"Nothing really I was just calling to see how you are that all."

"Well I'm great apart from the fact that I am slightly homesick but I guess that had something to do with the fact that I'm getting married soon."

"Please don't remind me. Oliver hasn't shut up about it for the past 2 days. He wants me to buy a new suit just for your wedding."

Charlie started laughing and sat up on the work top.

"Just tell him that you got a new one and wear your old one. Speaking of Ollie where is he?"

"Probably eating my dinner. Let me call him. OLIVER! CHARLIE'S ON THE PHONE."

Charlie moved the phone away from her ear because she didn't want to have a burst ear drum. She then jumped on the work top and waited for Oliver on the phone.

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

Clark handed the phone over to a vey happy looking Oliver and went back into the dinning room so he could eat his dinner.

"Hey you."

Charlie smiled when she heard Oliver's voice.

"Hey to you too."

"How's the baby shower?"

"Depends on how you look at it. If you're the one having the baby then I guess it's great that you have all your friends in one room. However, if you're an invited guess like me then I guess you need to stop yourself from dying of boredom."

"Ahh c'mon Char. It can't be that bad."

"Put it this way Ollie. I had more fun in the Bahamas when that psychic told everyone that I had an alter ego and was known as the one who cannot be seen. Thank god no one in the Bahamas knows who Stealth is otherwise I would have been so screwed."

"Now that was a funny day. Look I'm gonna let you get back to your sister-in-law's baby shower and don't worry too much, your coming home tomorrow."

"I know and I can't wait. I miss you so much."

"I miss you too. I love you Char."

"I love you too Ollie. Bye."

"Bye."

Charlie the shut her phone and jumped down of the work counter. She grabbed her drink and headed back into the living room and took her original seat next to Claire.

"Forget what Red Ball looks like?"

Charlie smiled and took her sip of her drink.

"Only for a minute but then it came back to me. No I took my time because Clark called me but then I got carried away talking to Ollie."

"Ahh yes the famous Oliver Queen who is engaged to my sister's sister-in-law. How's the wedding planning going?"

"Not too bad. We're having it at the farm so that takes care of the venue and now it just leaves the catering and the guests."

"You mean all 100 of them?"

Charlie looked up at a very pregnant Rikki and moved over so she could sit down with her and Claire.

"Unfortunately yes. Well 101 since this little guy will be born."

Charlie put her hand on Rikki's stomach and smiled when she felt the baby kick.

"And how do you know it's gonna be a boy? Last time I checked, your power could turn you invisible."

"Rikki! We're not the only ones in the room."

"Relax Hart. Hardly anyone here likes you and that means that they don't care what we're talking about. And Claire knows everything Stealth."

Charlie looked over at Claire and she just nodded. Charlie rolled her eyes and took another sip of her drink.

"What a great way to make me feel loved."

"Well can you blame them? I mean last time they were all here you…"

Charlie cut Rikki off by waving her hand in front of her face.

"Yeah, yeah I know. Nearly squeezed your friend to death but I don't care. She had what was coming to her. And of course it's gonna be a boy. I mean I'm gonna be the aunty."

"You're not gonna be the only aunty you know."

Charlie looked at Clair and smiled.

"I know. But while you're gonna be the aunty who has a degree in law, I'm gonna be the aunty with the really cool powers and who will use her husband's money to spoil him."

This made all three girls laugh.

"I don't think Oliver will have a problem with that since he always wants an excuse to give you money."

Charlie had to agree with Rikki there.

"Speaking of Oliver, have you two spoken about kids yet?"

"He's mentioned it once or twice but I don't know. I mean can you see me as the mother type?"

"That's what I said and yet here I am, seven months pregnant."

Charlie looked down at her hands and only just realised that she was fiddling with her dress.

"But that's you Rik. I don't know if I could do it."

"You don't know if you could do what? Raise a child? I don't think it's harder than being a superhero and keeping that a secret."

"Wanna bet?"

Rikki gave Charlie a stern look.

"Haven't you ever wondered what it would be like to have a little Miss Queen running around?"

Charlie looked at Claire and smiled.

"Of course I have. But look at it this way. When she's a hormonal teenager like I was and like her father, she's gonna want to go out and have fun. I'll be the one setting the rules and giving out the curfews and if she doesn't like it, then she'll go to Ollie who will extend her curfew because she looks up at him with these big eyes. She'll have him wrapped around her little finger."

"You're probably right there. But she'll probably get into mischief because her mother has these cool powers and they may be passed onto her."

Charlie finished her drink and smiled.

"That is a very good point."

*****

"Promise me one thing Oliver."

"Okay but only if I like what I hear."

Charlie rolled her eyes and lifted her feet up onto the sofa on Oliver's private jet.

"If you've bought me anything while I've been away that you'll take it back before my plan lands."

"But you're gonna be here in a few hours and that doesn't give me enough time. You'll just have to deal with it."

"I hate you Oliver Queen."

"Love you too Charlie. Now I have to go because I have a meeting. I'll see you at home later. Bye."

"Bye."

Charlie hung up the phone that was on Oliver's jet and let out a loud sigh. She had left London early that morning with a hang over and now she just couldn't wait to get home. She curled up on the couch and closed her eyes as she felt herself drifting off into another sleep.

Charlie opened her eyes when she heard a familiar bleep from her laptop. She sat up and rubbed her eyes as she opened her laptop and saw that she had received a video message from an unknown sender. She went over to the bar and grabbed a can of diet coke and opened the message when she sat back down. She started drinking her coke but dropped it when she saw Lex Luthor's face come up on the video.

"Knowing you Charlie, you dropped what you had in your hand as soon as you saw my face appear on your laptop. I guess I always did have that affect on you. I mean we were inseparable for the first few months weren't we? But I guess that now you have another guy in you life. Oliver Queen. Or should I say the Green Arrow?"

Charlie felt sick as she saw the smirk appear across Lex's face. She then wished that it was a live feed so she could tell Lex what she really thought of him.

"You think I didn't know? It would be stupid of me not to know who was always breaking into my house wouldn't it? But he doesn't travel alone, does he Stealth? It took me a while to figure it out but now I have and there is no denying it. Now I guess you're probably asking yourself what it is that I want. Well it's quite simple really. I want you. And if I don't get you, you'll never see Oliver again. Now, what I want you to do is quite simple. When you land head straight to the mansion. If not, Oliver won't be home when you get there. Goodbye Charlie."

The video then ended and Charlie had to figure out how to breathe again. This wasn't happening, she thought. How could he do this? Charlie's thoughts where interrupted when the pilot spoke to her.

"We will be landing in Metropolis in 20 minutes Miss Hart. Shall I inform Mr Queen?"

Charlie looked up at him and stopped herself from saying yes. If Oliver knew she was on her way then she wouldn't be able to go to the Luther mansion. She didn't want to go but she didn't want to lose Oliver either.

"No thank you. I want to surprise him."

Now if you were expecting that please let me know lol

So did you enjoy it?
