My Little Angel

Description: A metor-infected baby is found on the door step of the "Isis Foundation".

As Chloe tries to locate the mother, Lois takes upon herself to look after the baby

Chapter 1

Chloe was beat, she had been working hard all week trying to manage her new clients, plus dealing with the demands of her new husband Jimmy, who which as newly weds thought that they should be spending more time together. But how? She asked herself, since she was still struggling with the after math of the wedding. She was thankful, that some of the events of that awful day, were gone, but still reminded in her mind. That being that she was told that her body was possed by Brain-ac. Although, she had no control over her body, she was able to see everything Brain-ac had done. That being that her cousin, Lois was badly injured, and her new husband had suffered the same fate. Both individuals had suffered the same bruises to abdomen and face. And thanks to her... Her cousin might not be able to have children. As Chloe got off the elevator she remembered the day that the doctor told Lois about her possible infertility.

Flash back

Lois laid in bed, still groggy, from waking up. The drugs that the doctors had given her, had hit her like a tone of bricks. She reached up and felt the bump on her head, and wondered how it had got there. Then she remembered. Something or someone had hit her and she had passed out. She tried to collect her thoughts as to what had happened at the reception. All she remembered was walking into a room in the Kent house hold and finding one was Chloe's friends, Amy, passed out on the floor. This of course was right after Lois had walked in on Clark and Lana kissing. That doesn't matter anymore. He loves her, he always will, she thought to herself. She then recalled calling out for help and next thing she knew, everything had gone blank. Lois shook her head trying to get rid of the cobwebs. She turned her head and looked out the window wondering why she was so wrong about Clark. She knew he'd never change. He still be stubborn. Not willing to admit what was right in front of him. A tear ran down her face. Just then a knock came at the door to her hospital room.

"Go away" she yelled.

"Lois it's me," a voice yelled from outside her door. She knew exactly who it was. Clark!

"I said, 'Go away'!" she yelled louder this time hoping that he'd get the hint.

"Please, I need to talk to you, about what you saw at the wedding" he stammered.

"I don't care." she replied back.

"It's not what you think." he sighed then realised that this...talking to her with a door between them was silly, "Look I'm not going to do this with you, let me in." He demanded.

"Fine, enter at your own risk" She replied.

Clark then opened up the door and walked into the dark lit room and looked around. "Cozy, but dark" he examined. Then shut the door behind him. He walked slowly toward her not taking his eyes off her. Then sat down in the seat across from her bed. As he did then she gave him the coldest look possible. He then took a deep breath, exhaled and said, "I'm sorry about what you saw or thought you saw."

"Oh, the part where you were kissing Lana", she said as she brought her arms to her chest and crossed them. "I thought you said you were over her and moving on with your life, or have you forgot that", she said.

"I did forget", he said, then went on to say, " But. I remembered, that I'm not that person anymore, the person she fell in love with.".

"Oh, how touching", said as she brought her hands to her cheeks and covered them. "You my friend are so full of it." she said with a negative tone of voice.

He was stunned when she said this. But of course, he expected it. It had been months since they had started working together and never had they left each other's side. He had even asked her to move in with him, given that he knew she would never want to share a bachelor suite above the "Talon" with her cousin and her new hubby. But she said she'd think about it. Weeks came and went after that, and still she gave him no answer. He knew something was up, but couldn't think of what. Then it came to him... She had feelings for him! The question was answered when he and Lois had found themselves in a awkward situation. They were both posing as a couple for an investigation into some random kidnappings of engaged couples. And as they were tied back to back to a lie - detector device made up of kryptonine she admitted, that she had a crush on him. He was shocked and didn't know how to respond. All he could say was thank you. Most of all, he wanted to run, but couldn't because the kryptonine had weakened him. Later after they were rescued by the "Green Arrow" Clark told her he was still getting over Lana and wasn't ready to accept new feelings for another women. She smiled, when he said this and caressed his cheek with her hand and admitted she was scared too by the other loves in her life.

He now had to bring himself back to reality. Now was the time.. To straighten up and fly right. "Look, I'm sorry, I'm trying here, but you aren't making this any easier." He said, as he turned his head away from her.

"Hey, glad, I can brighten your day". She smiled.

"How can you...be ... so rude!" he demeaned.

"Because, I'm trying to make you see that this... this thing.. you have with Lana, is only holding you back" she said.

"And you think you know me so well, don't you?"

"Pretty much, yeah" she smiled.

"News flash, you know nothing about me." he yelled.

"Then enlighten me, what pray tell don't I know about you?" she asked.

He then shifted in his seat as she asked this question. If she only knew. He shook his head. "Look I don't want get into this with you. Just know, that I'm working on things with Lana, alright, not on a romantic level, just as friends." he said.

"Oh, okay. " was all she could say. "So where have you been all afternoon. I mean, it's been hours, and ..."

"Let's just say I've been looking after a couple of things. Work-wise." he replied.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"I've been looking into who's been behind all this." He already knew, but didn't want to admit to himself. It was Chloe, but not Chloe, more like Brainiac. Shortly after the wedding, he had suspected that something was wrong with Chloe at the reception. She wasn't herself. She kept doing things out of character. That's when it hit him, this wasn't Chloe, it was Brainiac. He thought that he had stopped him from taking over when he had asked Jor-el to erase her memory of the part where her brain was able to download information fast, but he was wrong. So on the night of the wedding reception, he acted calm, as if not to throw suspicion that he knew it wasn't Chloe. Later that night he followed Chloe and Jimmy to their honeymoon suite at a local inn located just off the highway just outside of "Smallville". He then entered their hotel room and knocked Chloe unconscious and brought her back to the Kent farm where Lana was waiting. He and Lana, had left Chloe in the barn and tied her up. He felt guilty about what he was doing but knew this was the only way to protect Chloe and keep her from hurting anyone else. Hours later , they found themselves in the presence of some unexpected visitors from the future. They called themselves "The Legion Of Superheroes" and came to help Clark rid Chloe of her other persona. Chloe was then taken to a warehouse/lab located inside Queen Industries. Hours later... after moments of brainwashing. Chloe was back. She didn't remember much about what happened. But recalled that she brain was still active during the times that brainac hurt everyone. Yelling out for help. Clark also recalled that the LOSH told him that a darker force was coming that would bring much more pain and suffering. They told Clark to steer clear of anyone who maybe supsicous. And that if he's not careful, he may suffer a much darker fate then Chloe.

"Clark?" Lois asked worried.. "What's wrong. Is it Chloe, is she okay?" Lois asked in a concerned tone of voice.

"She's fine. She was found unconscious in her hotel room. Jimmy was too. They're both in the same hospital as you... resting... which is what you need to be doing. So I'd better go" He went to get up to leave, just as he was about to, she grabbed his arm. "Please don't go, I'm scarred."

"You're scarred? Why you're the most strongest person I know." he replied with a smile.

"I'm not tonight. Please stay with me, just until I fall asleep. Then you can leave".

"Alright, scoot over." He said as he climbed into her hospital bed. He cozied up next her. She then sighed as she laid her head on his chest and closed her eyes. He reached up and put an extra pillow behind his head. "Just don't get to comfortable, I may have to leave soon." he said.

"Why?" she asked yawning.

"Lana, is still at my house and is wondering where I am." he replied.

"Ever heard of a phone 'smallville,' maybe you should try using one sometime" she giggled.

"Will you please, be quite and go to sleep already so I can get out of here?" he asked.

"Are you kidding me? You are staying here." She said as she looked up at him. He then kissed her head. He started to doze off when a knock came at the door.

"Come in" he said.

Chloe stuck her head in and looked around the room. "Hope I'm not interrupting anything?" she asked when her eyes came upon the sight that lay before her eyes.

"As a mater of fact you are. Now go back to your room, young lady." Clark replied in a daze.

"I just wanted to see how Lois was doing?" she said as she came into the room and walked towards the bed. There she saw Lois asleep in Clark's arms. "What's going on here?" she asked. Chloe was now in a hospital gown and had a bandage over her head.

"Nothing. Is going on. She just wanted me to stay till she fell asleep. The question is how are you doing?" He asked as he carefully tried to get up from the bed without making Lois jerk away. Nope best not to, he thought. And stayed where he was. Chole replied, "I'm fine... I guess... I don't remember much... I just remember... the ceremony and a little of the reception... but the rest is blank."

"As it should be. You scarred me. But I'm glad you're back." he said.

"Yeah, I'm happy too and thank you. "

"You're welcome. Just don't remind me. I'd like to keep that memory hidden." he said as he looked down at Lois, who was still asleep.

"So... do you think she knows it was me?" Chloe asked with tears forming in her eyes.

"Chloe, she doesn't even remember most of the stuff anyway. She was practliy drunk. At least that's what I'll tell her." he said as he brought finger lips in a whisper motion.

"You rotten little devil you" Chloe said shaking her head in awe.

"What? I've got to keep the truth from her somehow don't I? And besides this way is more fun." he smiled as he brought one of his hands up behind his head.

"So where's Lana?" Chloe asked changing the subject.

"Back at the farm, she's keeping an eye on things. I told her I'd come home as soon as I knew you and Lois were okay. Guess that's not happening anytime soon."

"And what about your relationship?" Chloe asked.

"Just friends... for now... " he sighed.

"And you and Lois..."

"I don't know... I just need time to think... I've never felt this way before about anyone."

"So you admit you feel something for her" Chloe asked

"Yes, but I'm not sure if I should act on it, I mean, look what's happened to Lana.. I'm afraid."

"Afraid of loving her.. Or what will happen if you decide to love her?"

"Both. What if I she can't accept the real me?" he asked.

"Gee, that's a hard one. I mean she'll be pissed at you for not telling her that truth but she'll come around.". Chloe replied.

"Yeah right." he replied.. Just then another knock came at the door. Door knob turned an in stepped in an African lady doctor. "Excuse me, I'm Doctor Harrison"

"Can I help you?" Clark asked her.

"Yes, are you Mr. Kent?" she ask.

"Yes I am" he asked "What can I do for you"?

"Well I need to go ask you're permission to perform more tests on Ms. Lane" she said.

"What's wrong? And why are you asking me?"

"Well, according to her records, she named you as her 'next of kin'."

Typical, he said to himself. "So what are the tests for?"

"Well we just wanted to double check something that was found in her blood work. And amorality if you will." she said bring her clip board to her chest.

"What are you talking about?" he asked

"Well mister Kent, I'm concerned about your girlfriends well being. That is if she decides... she may not... "

"First of all, " he interrupted, "She is not my girlfriend. We are just friends. And where are you going with all this..."

"Well if the test are positive... this could prevent her from conceiving... a child." She replied.

"What? What's wrong with her?" he asked.

"There was ... something found in her blood that maybe a disease. We don't know what... But I'm hoping it's negative. "

"How...?" he asked.

"It may have been caused by hard impact to the stomach, which may have caused abdominal bleeding, followed by an infection. "

"Oh my god, " was all Chloe could utter as she brought her hand to her mouth.

"I'd like to do some blood work, and then ... if all is well do a procedure to see where the infection started." The doctor stated.

As Chloe heard this tears started to roll down her cheeks. This is all her doing, no scratch that... it was Brainac's.

Clark tried to remain strong, and replied. "Yes".

"Thank you Mr. Kent" Doctor Harrison replied and turned to Chloe and said, "Ms Olsen, I understand this is hard for you to hear about your cousin and I understand you concern, but right now, I need for you to go back to your room and get some rest."

" I will I just need to... " Chloe said in half tears.

"Whenever you're ready, I'll send a nurse to come and get you with a wheel chair. You shouldn't be on your feet.".

"Thank you, " Chloe replied.

The doctor put her hand on Chloe's shoulder and nodded and then turned to leave.

"This is all my fault!" she said as she sank to her knees.

"No, it's not... Chloe, " Clark said as he finally broke free from a sleeping Lois and sank to his knees beside a weeping Chloe.

"I should've listened to you from the start. You knew this was going to happen, that he'd be able to do all this. Didn't you?!"

"Not this, no, I never wished this! You had no control!" he said as tears came to his eyes. He then looked over at Lois who was still asleep in her hospital bed.

Present Day

Those words Clark uttered still rang in her head. Months had passed since that horrible day at the hospital. Chloe had returned to work full time at the 'Isis Foundation". And Lois was now living with Clark at the Kent farm. Though, he had admitted his feelings for her, he still wanted take things slow. Also in the time that Lois had been living there, she found herself, to be less dependent on Clark. She was still recovering from the aftermath of that horrible day and was ordered by doctors after her procedure, to take it easy, therefore that meant no daily planet. Lois now spent her time writing articles from home, and spending time in front of the TV watching her soaps. Clark however, still had to work, and spent more time at the Daily Planet then he ever did trying to avoid as he called it "Hurricane Lane". Chloe now made her way towards to her office doors as if it was a gate way to another world. She decided today of all days was going to be a quick trip to the office to gather somethings, in and out before she knew it. No need to be wearing a fancy skirt or high heels for that matter, or a blouse that made her look older than beyond her years. She instead decided to wear black jeans and a purple v-neck shirt. As she made her way to the door, she turned it and stepped in side, not noticing the bassinet with a baby inside it that was located inside the office on the floor.
