A/N - Yes, the peanut thing was inspired in Friends and in my friend's pregnancy. We keep calling her baby as "peanut" until the day we find out the gender. m:)
Later at the Daily Planet, Lois finally sat down to have lunch with Clark. She had been trying to work on her Lexcorp corruption story, but it was very hard to concentrate especially when she couldn't take her eyes off of the baby's picture which was already framed on her desk.
Jimmy was looking over her shoulder when Lois noticed him.
"Did you lose something, Jimmy?"
"No, Lois. I was just…"
"It's okay, Jimmy. You can see!"
"So…was everything okay at the check up?" Jimmy asked as Clark came back with two cups of coffee.
"Yes, this is our baby!" Lois showed the picture to Jimmy as she picked up one of the cups. "Finally, I need some coffee!" She frowned after tasting the coffee. "Clark, I asked for coffee not hot chocolate!"
"Lois…remember what the doctor said? No coffee for the next couple of months."
"Fine!" Lois snapped at him.
Chloe arrived at the Daily Planet, she immediately noticed the commotion around Lois' desk.
"What's up?" Chloe asked as she noticed Lois' ultrasound picture. "Ohhh…was today your first checkup?" Lois nodded as Chloe picked up the picture and smiled. "It's so small."
"I know!" Lois and Clark said together grinning stupidly.
Suddenly Perry stormed out of his office and noticed the commotion around Lois' desk.
"Nobody works here anymore?" he asked angrily as always.
"Sorry Chief," Clark said adjustisting his glasses as he noticed Perry. "We were just showing Jimmy and Chloe the picture of the baby."
"Oh…" Perry stoped next to Lois' desk. "So, let me see this picture then." Clark gave the picture to him. Perry looked up from the photo and smiled at them. "Great shades of Elvis, this is a tiny little baby!" Perry commented looking back down at the picture.
"I know. It's our little peanut," Lois said grinning.
They were all distracted looking at the picture when the phone started to ring. Jimmy quickly fumbled and picked up the phone. He looked serious, "What? I'll try to find him."
"What's wrong, Jimmy?" Clark asked worried.
"Two trains are about to collide in Paris. I have to find Superman."
Clark exchanged a look with Lois before running off. Jimmy turned on his ultrasonic watch so he could contact Superman. Seconds later Superman was at the Planet.
"That's okay, Jimmy. I heard the news already. I'm on my way to Paris right now," Superman said before flying out of the newsroom.
Chloe sat next to Lois as she put a small package on her desk.
"What's that, Chlo?" Lois asked curiously.
"A present, silly," Chloe answered grinning. "Open it!"
"Okay," Lois ripped open the package to reveal a book "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and mini yellow baby shoes.
"Chloe!" Lois smiled hugging her cousin. "I don't know what to say. They're lovely! I didn't even think to buy this book. Thank you!"
"No problem, Lois. Linda West just had twins, remember?" Lois nodds. "She suggested I get you this book as a present," Chloe explained with a smile. "I wanted to be the first one to give a present to my niece. So this is Lara, right?"
"Right," Lois smiled looking at the picture with a goofy face. "Do you want to be the godmother too?" Lois asked.
"I'd be honored, Lois! Gosh, this is so exciting! We have so much to plan before Lara gets here. We have to call Lucy and let her know too."
Perry clears his throat with a nervous face. "Girls, I know this is a very exciting day for Lois and Clark but can you wait until the end of the day to talk about the baby? We have a newspaper to run, people!"
"Sorry, Perry!" Chloe and Lois said in unison, smiling.
"It will not happen again, Perry!" Lois said as she put the picture in her purse.
"That's okay, sweetheart. I'm very happy for you and Clark," Perry said hugging her.
