Chloe picked herself of the floor, and stood over the sink shuddering. Get it together, Sullivan! Angry at breaking down, she splashed water on her red cheeks and puffy eyes. Thank god for waterproof makeup. Glancing at herself in the mirror she approved. Chloe quickly walked out of the bathroom, and met up with Jimmy where she had left him. The young boy looked concerned.

"Chloe are you ok? Your eyes are a bit puffy." He commented.

She flashed him her million-dollar smile. He smiled back. The cameras began flashing as Bruce Wayne emerged to the podium. Chloe forced herself to ignore the butterflies in her stomach. Her face was neutral she made sure of that. Her reporter side pushed her to go ask questions when he began swaying the press. She raised her hand and shouted out, "Mr. Wayne!" His eyes flickered over her but he didn't call on her. Anger coursed through every cell in her body. How dare he overlook me? Jimmy placed a hand on her shoulder, silently consoling her. Bruce looked her way again and his gaze landed on Jimmy's hand. Chloe smiled wickedly and leaned into Jimmy. She knew him well enough to know what made him squirm. As for Jimmy, well he didn't really complain.

Bruce felt sick, but he forced himself to look away from Chloe cuddling very openly with a young man a camera in one hand and a pleased look on his face. Who was he? Were they dating? He snapped out of his thoughts.

A blond-haired reporter shouted out a question, "Mr. Wayne is it true that you are secretly dating the famous Brazilian model?"

He felt Chloe's piercing green eyes on his face. Taking his chance to make her wonder, he grinned at the reporter making sure to have a faraway look in his eyes. "No comment" he spoke into the microphone. For the next 30 minutes he answered questions occasionally glancing at Chloe and her boyfriend? He felt sick just thinking about it. She returned his gaze with cold green eyes. After the press meeting he posed for pictures with important people from Gotham.

"Brucey!" said a voice tinged with a British accent.

He winced but turned around to face Susanna the oil heiress of London. They had a fling months ago after Chloe had left him. It had meant nothing to him, actually he really didn't remember anything thanks to the drinks he had. He smiled at her, politely. Lights flashed around them, cameras clicked and photographers shouted for his attention. Susanna turned to them and grinned, like this wasn't new to her. She hugged him and the press went wild. Her perfume choked his senses and he felt her murmur something in his ear. Annoyed, he discreetly pushed her body away from his. Suddenly regretting having a fling with her. The blond haired boy that had cuddled with Chloe shouted for his attention. He looked into the camera and forced a smile. The photographer was satisfied and disappeared. Feeling someone watching him, he searched the crowd. And managed to catch a blond head turning from him. It was Chloe and she had seen everything.

Chloe drummed her fingers on the table. She sipped her coffee and nibbled on the pastry she had bought. It was too sweet, her stomach protested. Jimmy walked up to her and grinned, he set the camera down on the table.

"Here you want it?" she asked, pushing the pastry to him.

"Yes. Chloe what's wrong? You've been acting different since Metropolis. Are you sick? You keep running to the bathroom an awful lot." He told her, pale blue eyes searching her face for clues.

"You barely eat anything" he paused "Your not making yourself throw up?"

She laughed, "Jimmy don't be silly. I'm fine."

He took her hand in his she looked at him confused. "Chloe. …Your not" he glanced around making sure no one heard him. "Pregnant? Are you?"

Chloe felt her confidence slip. Her green eyes opened wide with shock. He couldn't know. Was it that obvious? Could Bruce tell too? She laughed nervously, trying to play it off as a joke. Self-consciously she placed a hand on her stomach, Jimmy raised an eyebrow at her and gulped. "Chloe?" She looked down at her lap, somewhat ashamed of hiding this from Jimmy one of her closest friend. He was hurt and it was her fault. Chloe looked up at him her eyes shining with tears.

"I am pregnant Jimmy. I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I thought you would freak out." She explained.

He let his jaw drop. Chloe Sullivan was pregnant? No way! "Who's the lucky guy?" he asked. Jimmy didn't remember her mentioning a boyfriend.

She bit her lip, "Well he can photograph really well"

He blinked in shock as everything fell into place. Bruce Wayne was the father that would explain so much. "Bruce? The Bruce Wayne?"

Chloe put her hands out, "Surprise?"
