It took Martha all this time to finally convince Jonathan that they should try for another child since that incident with the spaceship. So the day Martha found out they were going to have a baby she went to Jonathan's senator office to tell him the news cause she couldn't wait for him to come home. She went to his office only to get a surprise herself...she walked in on him and Lois. When she saw what was happening she walked out quickly before any of them could notice. Now since Lana had married Clark, the two of them had become best friends. Martha went to the apartment they lived in in Metropolis to talk to Lana about what she just walked in on. However Lana wasn't there but Clark was. He convinced Martha to stay with Jonathan and not to leave him. Martha told Clark she wouldn't leave him just yet and she left to go back to the farm. She got back to the farm and was in bed before Jonathan came home. And when he did come home he acted as if nothing had happened all day and looked at Martha wondering what was wrong. Martha looked at him telling him what she had walked in on.
a little background to the story
Jonathan has a twin brother named John Kent and Martha was John's best friend since high school and they still remained best friends. What Martha never knew was that Jonathan had a daughter with Chloe. And she found out because one day Chloe went up to John, thinking he was Jonathan, talking about their daughter. John, being Martha's best friend, wasted no time in telling her what he had just found out.
It took Martha some time to finally forgive Jonathan, One for hiding the fact that he had a daughter and two, for cheating on her with Lois. What happened was Martha found out Jonathan was in the hospital due to his heart problem. She and John arrived at the hospital, only to see that Chloe was in the room with Jonathan. Sadly, Martha went to the waiting room with John and he just let her cry on him. Martha fell asleep from crying only to be awake by a nurse who told her that Jonathan was asking for her. Martha walked into the room and just ran to Jonathan and held him saying that she would never want to lose him. Jonathan hugged Martha back asking if this meant she would take him back. Martha of course couldn't say no to that because she loved him so much.
Martha took Jonathan back home after he stayed in the hospital a few days.
Martha: Jonathan, how come you seem so happy with your child with Chloe but not with the baby we're having.
Jonathan: I just don't want to get my hopes up after what happened the last time.
Martha: Jonathan that was in the past and this time will be different.
Jonathan: I'm still worried because the doctor said that based on the tests done already, the baby is going to have the same heart problem as me.
Martha: Yes Jonathan the baby is going to have the same problem but all that means is that we're going to have to do some extra thing when raising him. Don't forget, raising Clark wasn't exactly like raising a normal child and he turned out fine.
Now Clark was still blaming himself for what happened to the baby Martha and Jonathan were supposed to have the time he destroyed the spaceship. Martha would tell him it was not his fault at all but Jonathan deep down still blamed him and Clark sense that.
Martha: Jonathan you need to talk to him, he still blames himself.
Jonathan: Good he should.
Martha: It's not his fault and you know that.
Jonathan: It is so his fault. He's the reason why we don't have that baby here with us right now.
Martha was about to answer when she heard someone at the door. It was Clark and he had heard everything. He walked out slamming the front door hard. Martha looked at Jonathan and shook her head at him and went after Clark to make sure he was alright.
Martha caught Clark before he left the house and told him his father didn't mean what he said.
Clark: I still feel responsible for what happened that day.
Martha: Clark don't because it wasn't your fault at all.
Clark. I feel worse because I ran away when I should've stayed here.
Martha: Clark I understand why you ran away so don't worry about it.
Clark: But mom I could've been here to help you and dad through that tough time. At least dad was here to help you.
Martha turned away when Clark said that.
Clark: Dad did help you right?
Martha: Clark it's nothing it was in the past.
Clark: Tell me mom, what did dad do?
Martha: Clark please just stop.
Clark looked at his mother worried.
Clark: Mom are you crying?
Martha: It's nothing, I'm just going to rest.
Clark: Mom you know I'll listen to whatever you have to say, even if it is about dad.
Martha was on her way back upstairs but stopped when Clark said that to her. She sat back down at the table.
Martha: Clark, your dad took off after what happened with the baby and then you running away.
Clark: You mean dad went to someone else?
Martha couldn't answer, she just cried.
Clark: Why the hell would he do that to you?
At that moment Jonathan came downstairs.
Jonathan: Because I was a complete jerk.
Martha and Clark looked up at him as he put his arms around Martha.
Jonathan: Clark I was wrong for the way I handled everything and I should've been there to help your mother. I'm also sorry for making you feel like it was your fault and I'm sorry for the way I've been talking to you.
Later that night after everything had calmed down, Martha and Jonathan went to go get some sleep.
Martha: I know you running off back then was cause you were upset about what had happened and all.
Jonathan: Yea that's why I did what I did.
Martha: Please tell me why you keep doing it to me?
Jonathan: I know I keep hurting you but I'm trying to overcome my problem.
Martha: What problem is that?
Jonathan: This, what I'm doing to you. I've had this problem since I was a teen. But I promise you I'm going to get help for it.
Martha smiled and kissed him as he just held her. Just the Clark came into the room.
Clark: Dad, Chloe's here to see you.
Jonathan came over to Martha holding Lisa (him and Chloe's daughter) after talking to Chloe.
Jonathan: You don't mind if Lisa stays overnight do you?
Martha: Of course not Jonathan she can sleep in Clark's room.
Martha waited for Jonathan to come back but noticed he was taking a long time so she went to make sure everything was alright. Instead she overheard Jonathan talking to Lisa.
Jonathan: Lisa don't worry I love your mother very much and someday maybe we'll be a family.
Martha couldn't believe what she just heard, she was going to end up losing Jonathan wasn't she. She went back to bed and when Jonathan came back, she didn't face him.
Martha: So you want a divorce?
Jonathan: What? Why?
Martha: I just heard what you said to Lisa.
Jonathan: Martha I love you every much but I do have a daughter with her.
Martha: Yea and we have 20 years of marriage, a son, and a baby on the way.
Jonathan: Don't you think I know that, but she's young and confused.
Martha: So your answer's yes then you want a divorce.
Jonathan nodded and Martha turned her back to him again.
Later that night she felt Jonathan wake her up.
Jonathan: I don't want a divorce.
Martha: Then why did you tell me you did?
Jonathan: Cause Chloe gave me a choice. Either leave you and be part of my daughter's life or stay with you and she wants me to have nothing to do with Lisa. And you know how important family means to me.
Martha: Jonathan you should've told me what was going on. I know you love that little girl and I would never tell you you couldn't see her. There's no way she can keep you from her. Jonathan I will do all that I can to make sure you get your rights as her father.
Jonathan: How can you do that?
Martha: Did you forget, I do have a law degree.
Jonathan smiled and kisses Martha.
Jonathan: I have a question to ask you.
Martha: Sure Jonathan what is it?
Jonathan: I want you to be my assisstant in the office.
Martha: You want me to what?
Jonathan: Yea I fired Lois cause even though I called things off with her she was still coming on to me, so I want you to work with me. That way it'll be less stressful than the talon, and now that you're going to have a baby I'll be there right by your side.
Jonathan pulled Martha into a passionate kiss.
Jonathan: And that's just a hint of something else we can do if you wor in the office.
Martha couldn't help but to kiss him back.
Jonathan: So is that a yes?
Martha: Yes Jonathan of course it is.
I have more written but that's all I can write now. Anyways like I said any ideas are welcomed.
