Prologue; Expanding The Family
Lois yelled, screamed, squeezed Clark's hand and pushed as hard as she could. Nurses and doctors were saying all kinds of things, but Lois wished they would just stop it! The pain was so severe and so deep, she doubted if she would survive! Once before she had made it through, but she would swear to everything that this time the pain was worse. Clark was beside her and tried to remember he had to fake the pain in his hand, while he encouraged his brave wife.
Eight months ago Clark and Lois received news they had long hoped for. Lois was pregnant. Ellen and Sam had been thrilled with the news, even the idea of becoming grandparents – again! Jonathan and Martha however, were a bit concerned about the fate of their second grandchild. Their grandson, John the first child of Clark and Lois, had the same powers as his father. Lois and Clark knew it would be quiet tricky; with both busy jobs, already having a five-year-old son and Clark being the hero of the world.
Right now, however, Lois was not thinking about any of those things. She had had it. She had been in labor quiet a while now and she was close to giving up. When suddenly, the delivering cry of new born child filled the room. Together with sweet delights and a small applause. Clark kissed the head of his wife and stroke her hand.
'You did great,' he smiled and kissed her forehead.
'What is it?' Lois said, still panting, 'You have to check the baby, Clark!'
'Don't worry, ma'am,' the doctor said and already walked back with the new baby in his arms, 'You have a beautiful healthy baby-girl.'
'O my God,' Lois gasped and started crying as her daughter was laid in her arms. The new girl looked a bit fuzzy around and glared to her parents.
'She's perfect,' Clark gasped and gently stroke the head of the girl, which already showed some brown curls.
'There she is!' Jonathan smiled, as he walked into the hospitalroom, holding a big teddy bear in his arms. He was followed by his wife who almost immediately started crying, and Ellen and Sam, Lois's parents.
'Mommy!' a little version of Clark (better known as Johnny) ran towards his parents. Clark lifted his son up and kissed him on the head.
'Would you look at that!' Ellen smiled as she saw her daughter laying in the white bed as a proud mother. Lois could not stop smiling as she held the small bundle in her arms. As the grandparents gathered around the bed, the girl looked at each one of them and moved her tiny fingers around a bit.
'She's gorgeous, darling,' Sam smiled and kissed his daughter.
'Is that…' little Johnny looked amazed at the little girl who laid in his mother's arms.
'That's your little sister, John,' said Clark and smiled at the big blue eyes of his son.
'What's her name?' Martha asked curious. When Clark had called them, the only thing he had told them was that he was the proud father of a girl. Choosing the name had been quiet an adventure.
'Lilly,' Lois said smiling, 'Lilly Joanna Lara Kent.'
'Beautiful,' Jonathan smiled.
'So,' Sam tried carefully, 'is she…you know. Does she have…'
'We don't know,' Clark said, 'I guess we'll have to find out when she gets older.'
'But we'll love her anyway,' Lois smiled and kissed her daughter, 'With or without superpowers.'
