Martha had just came back from Luthor Corp, she had told Lionel she wasn't ready to find out what was between them. The truth of the matter was she wanted to find out what was between them more than anything. Martha decided to shake the thoughts from her mind as as she finished preparing the dinner, he was coming to dinner.

They all sat around the dinner table and there she was sitting next to him, her heart quickened as she glanced over at him, her breathing labored.

"Just say it!" Martha yelled to herself in her head.

"Mom? Mom!" Clark called.

Everyone had said what they were thankful for except Martha.

"Mom!" Clark finally yelled.

Martha snapped out of her daze and realized they were all looking at her.

"What?" She replied quickly.

"It's your turn to say what your thankful for." Clark said, he had seen his mother looking at Lionel with a look he only ever saw her give to Johnathon.

"Oh well, um, I guess I am thankful for having a wonderful son and for having people that I love and care about with me this Thanksgiving. It means alot, espcially since I...I know what it is between us and...and I want to move forward in life. So, um thats it." Martha stuttered leaving almost everyone confused except Lionel who understood every word.

Weird looks were shot around the table as they all tried to process what Martha said, after awhile they all just began to eat and talk. Lionel and Martha kept glancing and smiling at one another, Lois noticed the little glances and smiled as she figured out what Martha's little speech was about. Martha stood up to go and get somemore rolls for everyone, Lois stood up as well deciding to confront the much older women.

"So?" Lois whispered.

"So what?" Martha replied as she looked at Lois.

"Come on Mrs. Kent! The little speech and those smiling glances you and Lionel have been sneaking in all through dinner. Whats up?" Lois pryed.

Martha never thought Lois was a dumb girl and at that moment Martha knew for a fact that she wasn't.

"It's nothing." Martha tried to shake off.

"Really?" Lois pushed.

"Really, honestly, ok! Lionel had come over earlier to cancel, saying he couldn't come. We talked and we almost we almost...kissed." Martha whispered close to Lois ear.

Lois looked at Martha with an oh-my-god face.

"And!" Lois said lightly while motioning with her arms and hands.

"And I went to Luthor Corp and talked to him and told him to come to dinner..."

"I know theres more." Interrupted Lois.

"I also told him there was something between us but I wasn't ready to find out."

"But you are ready?"

"No yes I...I don't know. I don't want to put it on the back burner and something happen to one of us and regret not doing or saying anything."

"Then you should."

"What?" Asked Martha with a confused look.

"You should see what there is between you too. I can already tell you from what I can see, you two have something very strong and you shouldn't bottle up your feelings, it will make you sick." Lois opened up.

"You know, Lois you are a very smart young women, and I am so proud of you." Cried Martha.

"Well, I am proud of you to!"

The two women looked at eachother then just began to laugh. As the night went along they all ended up sitting in the living room with wine glass in their hands. Lois and Oliver sat in the chair together while Chloe sat on the floor with Clark, Martha and Lionel had the couch to themselves.

"Hey, why don't we play a game." Lois spoke up.

"What type of game?" Clark asked.

"Truth or Dare." Lois smiled.

"Isn't that a bit childish." Chloe stated.

"Yah, but it will let us all loosen up and have fun."

"I agree with, Lois." Martha chimed in. Little did Martha know her agreeing turned a small fire lit match into a forest fire.

The truths and dares went around everyone causing people to laugh, after another hour Lois decided to kick it up.

"Lionel, truth or dare?" Lois asked Lionel.

Lionel sat and thought for awhile, he didn't really want anything to be trudged up from his past, it was his past and he was a changed man.

"Dare!" Lionel beamed.

Lois knew that Lionel would choose dare and that made her smile even more.

"Ok um oh, I got one. I dare you to kiss Mrs. Kent for forty-five seconds." Lois jumped up and down inside thinking she had achieved her goal.

The living room fell silent as Martha and Lionel looked at each, Martha couldn't believe it they had an almost kiss that morning and here they were going to have their very first kiss. Thanks to a game of truth or dare.

"I don't think thats a good idea." Stammered Lionel.

"I guess I can think of something else, you will have to do it no matter what."

Lionel knew that there were things in Lois's head swirling in there that he didn't want to do.

"Ok." Lionel said as he looked over at Martha.

"Its just a dare, what could it hurt." Martha smiled a fake smile as she began to get butterflys rushing through her stomach.

"Great! I need something to time them with."

Oliver gave Lois his watch.

"You guys ready?" Lois asked.

The two nodded. Clark looked on with hope that his mom and Lionel wouldn't kiss, Chloe just kept looking from Clark to Martha and Lionel hoping she wouldn't have to pull out Kryptonite to stop him.

"Ok, three...two...one...Kiss!" Lois counted down.

Martha and Lionel's lips met the second Lois said kiss. At first the kiss was a little awkward but after a second they got into it. Lionel lightly placed his hands on Martha's small, slim waist as Martha wrapped her arms around Lionels neck. The kiss deepened from a simple peck on the lips to open mouth with tounge. Everyone in the room sat with their mouths open not believing the sight infront of them.

The two had forgotten all about the people around them and delved into their emotions.

"Times up!" Lois yelled.

They all expected them to pull apart but they didn't, in fact they actually got closer. When Lois had said that the time was Martha had gotten ontop of Lionel and was straddling him. Oliver decided to stand up from the chair and go into the kitchen along with Lois and Chloe helping him push Clark into the kitchen with them.

"Am I the only one who just saw...that." Clark was now fuming as he tried to make his way to the living room.

"They are adults Clark." Chloe replied.

"It doesn't matter! Hes Lionel Luthor!"

"And she is your mom! Who by the way is a single women now who has feelings for Lionel Luthor. Now I don't like him but your mom does and if you have to hate anyone hate me!" Lois replied with anger.

"You?"

"Yes, when your mom came out to get the extra rolls I came out to and told her to go for it with, Lionel."

"You told her what!" Clark couldn't believe Lois, she had done some stupid things but this. this was just the ultimate of all stupidity.

As Clark was about ready to yell even more Martha and Lionel came into the kitchen in what it seemed to be a heated discussion.

"Why do you always do this!" Martha yelled.

"How can you not understand my reasoning!" Lionel yelled back.

"Whenever we get even remotely close you wall yourself up and run away. I like that you have changed and become a better person but this part of you just kills me!"

"It's because I don't want to hurt you!"

"Sometimes people get hurt!"

"Yes yes, sometimes people do but if you got hurt or worse because of me I couldn't live with myself! With us even being friends your at risk, look at all we have been through already..." Lionel started.

"Yes look, Lionel! I'm sorry but I have looked, have you? Looking at everything has made me realized that life is short and I don't want to look back and regret not doing or saying anything!" Martha was now in tears as she stared into Lionel's now wet eyes.

"I don't want to either but the one thing I don't want is for you to get hurt." Lionel whispered.

"But you are hurting me right now!"

"I know but I also know it will pass." Replied Lionel as he walked out of the farm house and drove home.
