1.) I Belong To You

"Clark, do we really need to do this," Lois said as he held her in his arms.

"Lois you told me you wanted the full experience so this is part of that. Besides don't all those wedding magazines say this is usually one of the best parts?"

Lois looked up at Clark, a little surprised that he actually would take the time to read those. Most men usually stayed away from that sort of thing but then again Clark wasn't most men, he was super.

Clark kicked open the door, "Welcome to the honeymoon suite, Mrs. Kent."

Lois smiled and closed her eyes taking in the fresh aromas from the room. Clark then set her down and she looked at him with pure joy, "Thank you Mr. Kent." She leaned into him wanting to kiss him but knowing she would never be able to stop.

Clark laughed, "Don't worry we'll have plenty of time for that."

Lois thought back to the day before. After the whole fiasco with the return of the real Lex Luthor, the wedding essentially went on without so much as a glitch.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*\S/*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Lois sat in the dressing room at the church. She pulled out an envelope from her purse which she had yet to open. There was a knock on the door and in came Tess and Mrs. Kent. It amazed Lois at how the relationship between her and Tess had progressed from enemies to becoming the closest of allies.

"How're you holding up," Tess asked Lois. "Nervous?"

Lois smiled, "No, I mean if I was then Clark probably wouldn't be the guy I'm marrying."

"I'm impressed Lois," said Mrs. K. "What made me nervous was the fact that this one guy I loved with my whole heart was going to belong to me forever."

Tess and Lois both smiled. Lois always loved hearing the stories of Mr. and Mrs. Kent. Even now Lois could see that their love had transcended despite the death of Mr. Kent.

"I'm sorry Chloe couldn't be here," said Tess.

Lois nodded, the pain of her cousin's death striking hard like a dagger. At least her murderer had been brought to justice and sent to prison but justice could never bring her cousin back. She smiled at Tess.

"At least I have one of my closest friends with me."

Tess smiled but quickly hid it. It didn't go unnoticed by Lois. "So what do you have there," she asked changing the subject in reference to the envelope.

"It's a letter from my mom. I haven't been able to bring myself to open it yet." Lois did her best to hide the tears so she wouldn't ruin her makeup. She then looked at Mrs. K. "Mrs. Kent, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind reading it for me."

"Oh Lois, are you sure?"

Lois cleared her voice, "Absolutely. It would be good for my mom and my new mom to get to know each other."

Mrs. Kent nodded. She silently read the front of the envelope: For your wedding day. She pulled out the letter and read it aloud:

My Sweetest Lois,

Today you are getting married which means you must have picked the kind of man your father would approve of.

Lois couldn't help but smile. She thought back to the many times she had brought home boyfriends and had to face the wrath of the general by doing chores only to not having them getting her father's consent.

As a parent, it's not easy to let go of the child you love but your father knows, as we all do, that we must let our children grow up and start families of their own. It's the way of life. Embrace it, don't be afraid. And if you are, turn that fear into strength.

You know I would be there if I could. Just know that my love is with you and I'll be there as your father walks you down that isle and as you and your soon-to-be husband say your 'I do's.'

Marriage isn't easy. Every relationship has their ups and downs and knowing you, the man who has chosen you is probably a little more special than anyone else. You've always been strong Lois and I firmly believe that as you have grown, that strength has developed even more so.

So go into this marriage Lois with all the strength and love you have. Despite what trials may come that fiery passion will never fail, that strength will never wail, and that love will never fade.

Love him. Support him. Be the anchor he needs and if he's anything like the man I dream of for you, I'm sure his parents have raised him to do the same.

I love you with all my heart. And I am so proud of you.

-Love Always, Mom

Lois felt the tears on her cheeks, "Damn it, I told myself I wouldn't cry."

"We can fix your makeup Lois," Tess said. "We'll have you ready for Clark in no time."

Lois smiled. "Thanks." She then looked at Mrs. Kent. "And thank you Mrs. Kent."

Mrs. K just nodded.

Several minutes later after Tess had fixed Lois' makeup there was a knock on the door. Sam Lane snuck his head in.

"Hey, you ladies ready?"

"All set General," replied Martha.

Martha and Tess both left the room and Lois stood.

"Wow," said the General, "You look absolutely… Clark Kent is a lucky man."

"Thanks daddy."

Sam reached out for Lois' arm. "Let's get this show on the road, Lo."

The wedding march began playing and the doors opened. Clark stood waiting to see his soon-to-be bride. His eyes gleamed and Ollie smiled behind him. First to walk down the aisle were Lois' bridesmaids who consisted of Mrs. Kent, Courtney and Tess. And then there was Lois. She smiled at Clark and he smiled back. To the two of them it felt as if everything was going in slow motion. If Lois had had it her way she would have ran down the aisle. Clark could sense Lois' anticipation and he just smiled and shook his head. Lois finally reached her place.

"Who here gives this bride to this groom," asked Father Jack.

"I do," the General said in his gruff voice.

"Thank you daddy," Lois said placing a kiss on her father's cheek.

"I love you Lo," he said placing Lois' hand in Clark's and then taking his seat.

"Good morning," said Father Jack. "Today we are joined, united into a family of one before our heavenly father. Mr. Kent and Ms. Lane have invited us all here to share in their love and their commitment to each other, to join them in celebrating their unification as two bodies become one flesh as husband and wife.

Marriage is not something to be taken into lightly. It is an act, a dedication. Though there may be tough times ahead marriage is a commitment into telling each other and the world that whatever life throws their way, they will be a team and work together to ensure that those trials do not defeat the one person alone.

Clark and Lois have decided to write their own vows.

The ring please, Mr. Queen."

Oliver handed Clark the ring.

Father Jack spread out his hand, "Mr. Kent."

"Lois, my Lois, I have loved you from the first day I saw you. You have been there through every moment, saving me, making me feel like I have a place to belong, loving me. I cannot imagine a world without you in it. You're Lois, the woman that I love, the woman who stands by me when I can't stand on my own. You are my best friend, my partner, my soul mate, and my destiny. My love for you continues to grow with every passing day. This wedding, this ring is simply to show the world how much you mean to me. I'll love you till the end, Ms. Lane."

Clark placed the ring on Lois' finger. Tears streamed freely from her face but this time she didn't care. Lois composed herself so she could recite her vows.

"Smallville, I was rarely a believer in love until you came crash landing into my life. The moment I saw you I just knew. And for years I tried to deny it but there you were, a silent guardian angel. You were always there, watching me, saving me, protecting me. And though this girl can stand on her own two feet, it's comforting to know that I've got a shoulder to lean on when I get in over my head, which I often do. You have opened my eyes to a world where anything was possible. I have seen the real Clark Kent and he is loving, passionate, and kind. You're my best friend Clark, you always have been. I now look forward to not only being that but to being your wife, to knowing that I can share the same depth of love that you feel for me. This ring shows the world that you are mine forever and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'll love you till the end, Mr. Kent."

Father Jack now spoke, "Clark Kent and Lois Lane have now pledged their love in front of family and friends. They will be each other's confidants through life and in death for true love never waivers in the wake of heartache and death.

As is customary of friends and family, use the power within you to support Clark and Lois, let nothing come between them, encourage them, be there for them. This marriage avows the love and commitment they have made to one another.

Now by the power vested in me by the state of Kansas and by God, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride, son."

Clark smiled at Lois and she smiled back. "About time," Clark whispered making Lois laugh and then they kissed. The world had been forgotten, it was nothing but the two of them. Ollie had to clear his throat to get them to stop which caused the congregation to laugh.

"It is with a great honor that I present to the world, Mr. and Mrs. Clark Kent," said Father Jack.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*\S/*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Clark came and placed his hands around his wife who was staring out the window.

"You okay, Mrs. Kent?"

Lois smiled, adoring her new name but something would have to change, and she wasn't giving up on Lane completely. "I'm perfect, Mr. Kent, I was just remembering our day yesterday."

"Was it everything you dreamed of?"

She closed the curtains and turned to face Clark, "It was better. I want you, Smallville."

"You've got me Lois, forever."

The two of them got lost in their kiss. Clark picked up Lois and made their way to the bed where he gently unbuttoned her shirt and bra. He then leaned up so he could take off his shirt and Lois caressed his chest, stroking it and letting her fire tingle Clark's core. He leaned back down, his eyes gazing upon her. Though they had made love to each other before, this time was different, this time was the first time as husband and wife. Lois looked up at her husband and smiled, she could not believe that this amazing man was forever hers.

Clark gently brushed some hair from Lois' face and leaned down to kiss her. Lois was ready and let herself be engulfed as Clark's body eased into hers. Now their marriage had been sealed. Lois let herself be taken in by the ecstasy as their bodies moved as one. She let her lips make round about motions over his face and chest, she let his lips nibble at her ears and then down to the areola of her breasts. Their hands entwined with one another, allowing them to dance as beautifully as ripples in a wave.
