When Chloe uses a machine in order to have access to her doppelganger's memories, Oliver asks if the baby will be affected by the procedure and Dr. Hamilton says that unless there are psychosomatic effects caused by the mental link, the baby should be fine.
After watching her doppelganger's last memories, Chloe begins to wonders how can they bring a baby into the world with a crisis on the way. Later, Chloe reveals to Clark about her pregnancy and that she and Oliver need to leave so the baby can come safely to term.
In D.E.O.'s headquarters, Diana Prince is helping Chloe through the base, and admires the pregnant Chloe saying that it is a thing of wonder.

After her son's birth, Chloe worries about the dangers in the world and the rise in heroes. Oliver reminds her they all fight for justice and will ensure their new baby will have a safe and healthy upbringing. Chloe laments that family should be here for their big occasion and Ollie smiles as he wheels her into the waiting room to be greeted by their 'family' composed of the Heroes that they met over time. Lois and Clark are shocked to be named God Parents and coo over the new addition. Clark remembering the losses they have suffered over the years is truly touched to meet a new life brought into the fold and even more so when they reveal the baby's name to be Jonathan.
Future[]
Chloe reading to Jonathan.
Seven years after Clark formally became Superman, Chloe read to Jonathan the bedside story of Clark's final trial, which had been documented into a comic book. After finishing the story, Chloe tucked him in bed and kissed him goodnight. Before falling asleep, Jonathan glanced across the room at a green bow and a quiverful of red-and-yellow arrows.[2]
Notes[]
Jonathan's red and yellow arrows.
- Jonathan owns a set of red-and-yellow arrows similar to the set a young Oliver had in Season Seven's "Veritas". The bow was given to Jonathan by Clark Kent.[1]
