Lana woke up in Clark's arms laying on top of their red comforter in their new bed they had shared. Lana was so happy. She watched Clark chest rise up and down as he slept. She gazed up at him he looked so peaceful. Everything was so perfect. She and Clark have been living together for the past couple of weeks, ever since her divorce was final. Usually it would take a long time for a divorce to go through but Lana secretly filed it when she went in hiding with the help of Lionels lawyers. It was the least he could do after trapping her in the marriage with Lex. But she did understand that Lionel did that for the best. Lionel had faked Lana's death to protect her while Chloe and Lois were on Lex's case. They had exposed the lab 33.1 together giving them both their first co-bylines on the front page of the Daily Planet and landing Lex in jail. As soon as that happened Lana came out of hiding. It was all so amazing. After everything she wanted to leave everything in Smallville behind and work on her future in Metropolis with her boyfriend. She did not want to keep anything that reminded her of Lex. She had possession of the Talon. She did no want it, it only reminded her of her first partnership with Lex Luther.
Lana played with the tips of Clark's hair that curled ever so slightly. She was so happy yet something ached in the back of her mind, something that told her not to get too comfortable. Every time she really started to feel happy something always went wrong. Here she was with Clark, the guy she was in love since the ninth grade. And now they had no more secrets between them. She knew about his intergalactic origins. And now she knew why it had been so hard for him to tell her the truth. But that was all behind them now. And she was living with Clark and Chloe in this two bedroom apartment in Metropolis. Clark told Lana he had gotten this deal from this friend he worked with but he couldn't tell her all of the details. Chloe was all ready to leave the Talon and share an apartment with Lois when Lois was called on assignment from DP. So that left Chloe, Lana offered her to stay here with her and Clark as long s she needed. At first Chloe objected not wanting to impose but Clark insisted and Lana told her it was the least she could do after all of the times Chloe had taken her in. Then Chloe made some snarkish comment about being light sleeper but not to worry living with Lois taught her to wear ear plugs.
Now that Lana and Chloe knew Clark's secret they were closer then ever. They had been through so much and they really have been like sisters espeacilly now. Something just ached at her. Everything seemed to go so well. Chloe and Clark were so open with her now, most of the time. They still did seem to have their own little world every now and then. But most of the time the three of them were like a family.
Lana grazed her fingers at Clark's cheek and she whispered, "Oh, Clark."
Then he fidgeted slightly he still had this blissful look on his sleepy face. Then he whispered, "Chloe."
