WHO: Oliver Wood & Penelope Clearwater [!GrabMe] WHAT: Oliver offered his bed to Penny and she accepted WHEN: Backdated to Friday afternoon/evening RATING: PG? STATUS: Incomplete; WIP
Oliver closed his journal after Penny answered him, saying she'd be up in a few minutes. He'd hardly spent any time with her lately and he really needed to make sure she was all right. He'd worried over her the past few days...or was it weeks now? He didn't know how she was coping with being pregnant with Charlie's baby and being stuck inside the quarantine.
He hadn't been avoiding her. He'd simply been giving her space and she knew he'd always be there for her. It was just how he was. If Penny needed rescuing, Oliver was more than willing to do the saving. He loved the crazy minx. She was like the sister he never had and he was more than happy to share his big bed with her for the night.
Of course, that meant he'd had to push his plans with Ava, but Penny didn't need to know that. Unless she asked who he'd been spending time with while he was here. Then he might tell her. Of course, she might ask him more questions than he was wanting to answer right now. Oliver was a free spirit, but lately he'd been thinking more and more about settling down.
Penny's pregnancy made him think about families and getting married. That was something he hadn't thought about in a very long time. His father had died, the war had come and ended, and he'd found out he had a half-brother. With all of that hanging on his shoulders, Oliver hadn't given another thought to getting married or having a family or even finding a girl who could handle his strange quirks. But now it seemed he'd found one or two who would be more than willing to spend time with him.
Oliver shook his head to clear his thoughts as he headed down the stairs to the portrait hole to wait for Penny. He needed some Penny time right now more than anything.
