Oliver stared down at the garbage can mouth open as he tried to process what he was seeing. The rectangular box was sitting on top of a bunch of toilet paper, small plastic stick tossed haphazardly over it. He glanced around the bathroom then back at the garbage can.

How could she not tell him? How could she sit out there with Clark and Lois eating dinner like there was nothing wrong? He frowned pulling a piece of toilet paper from the roll and gently picking up the stick while scrunching his face together in distaste.

He thought the days of her lying to him were over. After everything they’d been through, lying about something so…so life changing was unacceptable. His brows creased, jaw tensing as he opened the door with purpose.

Her laughter floated through the small apartment as he moved quickly toward the table. Lois was in the middle of a sentence, Chloe bringing a glass of wine to her lips when Oliver’s outraged voice stopped all conversation.

“What are you doing?”

All heads turned in his direction startled as he sent a glare in Chloe’s direction. She raised an eyebrow at him and smirked, amusement dancing in her eyes.

“Is that a trick question?”

He frowned prying the glass of wine out of her hand she gave him a strange look as he moved toward the sink pouring it down the drain. She stood up, opened her mouth, but didn’t have the chance to say anything. Oliver’s irritated voice cut through the stunned silence.

“Really Chloe? You’re drinking wine? First you take a pregnancy test without me, then it comes up positive and you don’t tell me, and now you’re drinking?”

When he dropped the glass in the sink and walked back over to the table he saw her shaking her head.

“Oliver what are you talking about? I didn’t-“

“Don’t lie. I found your test.”

He tossed the toilet paper and stick in the middle of the table, Clark reeling back slightly and Lois inching away from the table. He pointed.

“You’re telling me that’s not yours.”

Chloe placed her hands on her hips, a lethal look in her eyes. Her voice was steady, tone clipped.

“That. Is not. My. Pregnancy Test.”

He glanced around the table before looking back at Chloe confusion on his face.

“It’s not?”

She threw up her hands and let out a loud breath.

“No Oliver jeez. If I thought I was pregnant I’d most likely tell you before I took the test, but thanks for that vote of confidence in me.”

She rolled her eyes and his body sagged in relief.

“Oh thank god. I was terrified for a minute there Sidekick. As awesome as a mini me would be I just don’t think the world is quite ready for another Queen.”

She nodded.

“Yeah I’m gonna have to agree with you on that.”

He rolled his eyes and motioned to the test.

“Well if it’s not your test then whose is it?”

The room got quiet as Chloe turned her head in Lois’s direction. Oliver’s eyes widened as he followed her line of sight. He let out a nervous chuckle and Lois groaned face falling into her hands before a large crash sounded from the opposite end of the table as Clark fell off his chair. Oliver gave them a tight smile before speaking in a sheepish voice.

“Oh…oops.”
