Superman's little Angel's
"JONATHON GABRIEAL KENT! Put your sister down immediately!" Chloe shouted as she marched out of the kitchen and into the living room, spotting her son Jonathon holding his sister above his head threatening to drop her.
"Mummy tell John to put me down…he knows I'm scared of heights! Johnnnn…I think I'm gunna be sick…" Lara whined as she laid perfectly still in John's hands high above his head, her fear of heights not helping the situation…you'd think seen as my dad is Superman that I wouldn't have a problem with heights…but I do and its really annoying Lara thought, before she suddenly felt her body shift as John almost let her drop, causing her to squeal at his movement.
"JOHN! Mummy tell him!" Lara shouted as tears began to well in her eyes, as she done the only thing she probably shouldn't have…she looked to the floor and realised just how high up he was holding her.
"Mummy tell him" John mimicked finding the whole situation incredibly funny, almost letting go of her as he laughed so hard.
It didn't take long for Connor to hear the commotion going on down stairs and come speeding into the living room.
"What the- John leave Lara alone, god all you two ever do is fight…just put her down before mum gets angry…" Just at that moment he knew it was too late when he heard his mum say those three dreaded words…
"Right that's it…John don't make me get the kryptonite…I'm going to count to three and if you don't put your sister down…1…2…" Before Chloe's threat could become reality, John easily let go of Lara and watched as her small frame came crashing to the floor with a load thud.
"Mummy…" Lara was crying by now as she crawled across the floor towards her mother, not that she was in pain from the impact of the fall…in fact the fall hadn't hurt her at all, after all she was Superman's daughter and she was just as impenetrable as he was. She was more upset about being up so high…She definitely got her fear of heights from her father Chloe amusingly thought feeling Lara hysterically clutch at her legs.
"What…I put her down" John groaned, receiving a glare from his mother.
"Go to your room Jonathon and I don't want to see you using your strength against your sister again…am I clear?" Chloe sternly asked, setting a hard gaze towards her son, receiving one just as hard from him…though all she could see were the innocent baby blue eyes which Clark uses against her all time, but she wouldn't back down here, he had to be taught discipline.
"Whatever!" John blurted out as he ran for the stairs, hearing his brother call for him, but decided to ignore it, he as always the one person he didn't want to disappoint…well, apart from his dad, but still he knew that Connor would be angry with him and to be honest he felt bad and couldn't stand to hear a speech from him too.
"John!" Connor called, without getting so much as a glance from his younger brother as he stormed up the stairs in a temper.
"You ok baby?" Chloe asked soothingly bringing Lara into her arms, rocking her softly, trying to clam her sobs of grief, giving a small smile to Connor as he left to go back up to his room.
"It…was…so…high" Lara stuttered out in between sobs, as she clung to her mother for dear life, burying her face deeper into her mothers shoulder, gradually calming under her touch, loving the way it feels when her mum strokes her hair and treats her like an angel.
Chloe carried Lara upstairs once she had fallen asleep in her arms, after tucking her into bed, she hesitated at first but decided to poke her head round the corner of John's bedroom door…luckily he had already fallen asleep. Quietly she moved into his room and picked his covers off of the floor where he always kicked them and placed them back over him…lightly kissing him on the forehead, when she heard his small voice.
"Mum I'm sorry about earlier…I was only messin around…I didn't mean to scare her" John managed to say, his eyes wet eyes shining in the darkness of the room, from the flicker of light in the hallway.
"Thank you for apologising, but it's not me who you should be saying sorry to is it? Now go to sleep and I will expect you to say sorry to your sister in the morning and if you do we won't have to tell daddy about this little incident…ok" Chloe whispered, pulling his cover up to his shoulders, tucking it in at the sides.
"Ok mum…love you…goodnight" John returned, snuggling himself deeper into his covers.
"Goodnight hunny, sleep tight" Chloe replied, brushing a kiss to his forehead and moving from his room.
Chloe retired to the sofa with a warm mug of hot chocolate and placed a film in the DVD player, getting everything ready for when Clark arrives home after he was finished with work…the cape kind.
Half an hour had passed by, then she heard a thump upstairs and knew that Clark had finally arrived; she moved to make him a mug of hot chocolate and another for herself. He always came in through their bedroom window, to be careful not to let the neighbours see him coming home and advert suspicions.
Chloe heard Clark coming down the stairs, calling to him from her spot on the sofa, handing him his mug as he sat besides her, claiming her lips with his own, greeting his wife.
"I missed you" Clark groaned, in between kisses, discarding his mug to the table in front of, not once breaking his claim on Chloe's lips.
"I missed you too…but…there's…something…you…" Chloe tried to explain what had happened earlier, but was washed away in the same heat as Clark, forgetting everything around her, momentarily oblivious to the world and all its flaws, merely entranced under the touch of her husband, content to stay here like this forever.
As their moment of passion subsided, falling into each others arms, exhausted from their sudden exert of energy, Chloe looked up into Clarks eyes and was reminded of how similar John looked to his father, they were practically a double act…only one is enormously tall and the other still a small boy. Leaning towards him again, Chloe took his lips without warning, Clark melting into her demand for more.
"Hey mum-…eww, come on guys get a room or something, I shouldn't have to watch this, it's gross" Connor blurted out, walking in on his parents kissing on the sofa.
"Very funny Connor…but I think we'll stay here thanks…is there something you wanted?" Chloe asked moving slightly in Clark's arm, so she had a better view of Connor in the doorway.
"Well at least wait until I leave the room before you start again…and yer, I was just wondering, well…I…it's something I think dad should here too and I've been thinking about it for a while, and I think I'm ready…" Connor stuttered, obviously becoming very nervous under the scrutinising glare of his parents.
"Connor what is it?" Clark persisted, watching his son try to gather himself before speaking again.
"I want to join the football team…there I said, god that feels better" Connor exhaled relieved to have finally got it out there.
"What…Connor we have talked about this, you can't…your abilities…you could hurt someone on the field, you aren't completely in control of some of your powers and you can't risk slipping up on the field and seriously hurting someone" Clark immediately retaliated, feeling truly sorry for his son, knowing how deflated it is having your father tell you not to play, but he had to sacrifice this one thing to protect others and he knew his son would have to do the same…but it didn't mean he had to like it.
"Oh dad…come on, I can to keep control of my powers…ok except maybe flight, but how is that really going to cause anyone any injuries, if anything it'll be in danger for me letting my secret slip, but again that's not going to happen, coz if I do get the urge to fly, I'll just speed away before it happens…please dad please!" Connor pleaded, now moving to stand in front of his parents of the sofa, giving them his famous puppy dog eyes look, which sometimes worked…but usually only with his mother.
"Look Connor I know you feel that you can keep your abilities under wrap but we still can't take the risk…I'm sorry but my answer in no and that's final" Clark sternly stated, keeping his face adamant.
"This is so unfair! First I can't bring Roxy over, now you won't let me play football!" Connor yelled, his annoyance growing, when he received no reply from his father.
"Connor, we're sorry but the answer is no…and there are many good reasons we don't want Roxy sleeping here…do you want me to name them?" Chloe asked coyly watching her son's face burn red with embarrassment, when all of a sudden Connor sped out of the room, leaving Clark and Chloe stunned in silence.
The next morning the whole family sat silently around the breakfast table, the only sound to be heard was the clang on spoons in their bowls.
"John, do you have something to say to Lara?" Chloe asked, still sat reading the Daily Planet news paper.
"Sorry" John grumbled under his breath, avoiding eye contact with Lara or his mother.
"I didn't hear you Jonathon" Chloe repeated, turning the page of her paper.
"Sorry Lara" he said louder, turning to face his sister, only he was surprised to find she was smiling back at him, rather than the usual glare he would receive.
"Thank you" Lara replied hugging her brother, feeling him squirm under her grasp, inwardly laughing at his response.
Clark watched this scene take place before him and was relieved that their bickering had reduced this morning, now he could turn his attention back to a still very upset Connor, who hadn't spoken to either Chloe or himself at all this morning.
"So Connor, you seeing Roxy at all today?" Clark asked casually, yet still receiving no reply from his son, but that wasn't enough to stop him from trying again.
"Connor, wanna come play some one on one with your old dad…I'll let you win" Chloe laughed at this one, it had been a while since Clark had played and knowing her son, he would use almost every trick in the book to trick his dad, including using his powers.
"No…I don't want to risk hurting anyone, especially you!" Connor retorted leaving the table and slamming the front door shut on his way out.
"Smooth" was all Chloe said, as she looked up over her paper and smiled towards Clark, then going back to her reading.
"What's eating him?" Lara asked innocently, stuffing another heaped spoonful of coco pops into her mouth.
"Nothing…how about you guys, you fancy a little game with your dad?" Clark asked knowing he wouldn't be disappointed with his kid's answers.
"Yer sure" both said in unison, gobbling down the rest of their cereal and rushing to get their shoes on.
"I know what your doing Kent…using your youngster's to gain the pleasures of parenthood because you're not getting it from you eldest…tut tut" Chloe teased, dropping her paper and folding it back up, leaning over the table kissing Clark lightly on the lips, surprised to be apart by the tugging of Lara at Clarks arm.
"Daddy, we're ready…come on!" Lara excitedly whined.
"Race ya…" John called as he super-sped out of the door.
"Hey…that's cheating, daddy, John's cheating" With that Clark to sped out the door grabbing Lara on his way.
"go speedy go" Chloe called, now left sat at the table alone, smiling to herself, wondering how it was she was always the one left to clean up.
Only an hour after going out to play Clark brought them back in again, obviously annoyed about something, Chloe could tell because rather than greeting her with a kiss he watched his two children walk up the stairs sullenly and he collapsed on the sofa, his face as hard as stone.
"What happened…dare I ask?" Chloe asked, sitting onto the coffee table, facing Clark head on.
"What is wrong with those two, they can't do anything without fighting…first John pushes Lara so hard she falls and cracks the ground…CRACKS it! Then Lara was so angry she uses her heat vision to set the ball on fire…whilst John was holding it…lucky he can't be burnt like me…otherwise that could have been serious…my god the thrills of parenting ay, nothing like it in the world!" Clark rambled out, his body seemingly shrinking with his words, as he ended up laying sprawled out on the sofa…his feet dangling over the other end.
Chloe moved from the table and laid herself across the sofa besides Clark, her small frame on top of his, almost lost in his huge arms, which surrounded her protectively, making her feel safe and loved.
"You're right…I never guessed parenting would be so…so…stressful" Chloe laughed, feeling Clark's body move with laughter under her.
"But I wouldn't trade them for the world…they're special you know…not because of their abilities, but everything…they're special kids…bet every parent says that about their children though" Clark mentioned, over thinking his statement as he always does.
"I'm sure they do, but yer ours are definitely, well I wouldn't say special…unique better describes them I think"
"Unique…and powerful…bad combination" Clark replied, smiling one of his incredible white smiles towards Chloe.
"Well…on this topic…there's something I think you should know Clark…" Chloe almost whispered, shifting in his arms to face him, their noses mere inches apart.
"What is it?"
"I'm pregnant…"
