Chapter Five
The glistening light radiating off the moon found it's way through her front corded Roman blinds to outline her enchanting form. Her golden locks lay gracefully across half of the pillow and the remainder stretched over his brawny chest. The all too familiar smell of milk bathed silky strawberries was illuminating from her hair filling his senses and sending shivers throughout his body.
Her slender frame lay serenely under the sea mist colored elegant linen, bare and unclothed next to his. His arm fit ideally around her gracing shoulders, as her palm was positioned over his taut torso, just slightly above the pubic line.
As his eyes continued gazed down at the woman he was falling head over heels for, he was caught off guard when she rolled to her side, pressing her rump up against his ridged form. He had no other choice, but to move with her. So as he turned on his side he came into contact with a picture framed, and hung high on her bedroom wall.
It was a picture of Lois and himself at the farm back home in Smallville. The picture consisted of Clark giving Lois the best piggyback ride, as she referred to it as. Lois' smile and the twinkle in her eye was something Clark did not get to see too often. The emotion in her face was so obvious and that wasn't like Lois. Not like Lois at all and on top of that Clark couldn't help to wonder why she had it hanging up in her bedroom. He could understand if in the living room or perhaps the dining room for people to see, but why in her own personal bedroom where only she would see it.
Clark didn't look to far into it as he started scanning the rest of her bedroom for more out of place things and then he came across another picture. It was one of the happy couple they all knew and looked up to for inspiration. The picture was professionally taken, the background that of a paradise beach off of nowhere. Lana wore a short almost sheer like white dress with Lex matching her in his sheer white attire. Lana stood there with one hand on her rounding belly and another hung low across her husbands waist as Lex held on to there beautiful 6 year old daughter, Lily after Lex's mother.
The picture was fairly new.
Clark went off into his 'Lala land' as he started to fantasize himself in a married life and what it would be like.
Fantasy
It was the beginning of an autumn day as the yellow, green, orange, and brown leaves descended from the branches to the green grass. Surrounding the little swing that hung low off one of the tree's branches as a 3-year old boy sat upon it as Clark stood behind it and pushed it, close to the point of circling the tree branch. The boy and Clark both laughed at the explicit moment as the young child shouted 'Higher! Higher, daddy!'
Then abruptly Clark stopped pushing the boy on the swing; his attention was focused on something else or rather someone else.
Hands on her obvious pregnant belly, she rocked back and forth on the balls of her feet as she stared at the two loves of her life. A smile appearing at the corners of her mouth as she noticed the unspoken attention she was getting from her husband.
"What's wrong Smallville, you look like you seen a ghost?" The darker haired Lois inquired.
She was even the more beautiful when she was carrying their child. Her hair was darker then he remembered…her face only about 3 years older then he remembered as well. Her eyes were still the same piercing green and her smile still warm and glorious. Everything about her was pretty much all the same thing except now she was a little older, she was wearing a wedding band around her left ring finger and she also was carrying their beautiful baby boy, from the looks of it at least.
Lois mouthed a big 'O' as she gripped a tight hold on her underbelly. She looked up through thick lashes.
"Lois are you okay?" Clark asked as he rushed to her side.
"Honey, it is time."
Clark looked perplexed.
"Mommy, is the baby okay?"
"Yes, of course sweetie. More then okay, looks like your gonna be able to meet your baby brother sooner then we thought!" Lois looked up at Clark to see that he was still puzzled.
The young boy clapped his hands and ran to his father's side as he hugged firmly to his leg.
Suddenly something clicked in Clark's head. It was all coming together now.
"Oh! The baby!" Clark bellowed as he snapped his fingers.
Lois smiled at how forgetful her dearly beloved husband could still be after all these years. "Yes Smallville! So lets get a move one because this baby ain't waiting for nobody!" She gestured to the truck that was preserved on the gravel road.
Clark came up behind Lois as he placed his hand on her belly and guided her to the vehicle.
His hand flinched as he felt the baby kick at his hand.
End of fantasy
Clark looked down to where his hand now lay across Lois' flat stomach. His eyes went back to the picture of Lana, Lex, and Lily. Thinking about how realistic his daydream seemed to be. And how amazingly loved he felt from Lois and to her as well.
Clark just pushed off the thought once again as he cuddled back up to Lois' sleeping body lay.
Clark fell asleep a lot faster then he anticipated.
When morning finally did come Clark didn't wake till he was being pushed abruptly off of the warm cushy bed.
"Smallville! What the hell do you think your doing, in my bed?" Lois asked.
She hung over the edge of her bed looking down at Clark naked form spread across the floor. Her ivory hair dangled over the end of the bed as her hands clung to the sheets for support.
Reaching around Lois gripped a hold of his trousers and tossed them in his direction, landing in between his sturdy loins.
"Cover it up, Smallville. Otherwise you might corrupt my virgin eyes!" Lois barked at him as she snatched the sheet up from the bed and enveloped it around her narrow, but luxurious physique.
And with a growl Clark clutched the fabric of clothing in his hands as he pushed him self off the ground. He rushed towards her thrusting her up against her bedroom door.
Lois smiled as she felt his erection pushing into her belly. She didn't even have to feel it for she could clearly see it written in his face.
Clark leaned into kiss her as she titled her head back to speed up the process. As he watched her trying to take back the control over the situation, he ripped back his head as she threw herself forward falling against his agile shoulders.
She saw right through his little games. She saw that he wasn't even planning on having sex with her, he was only planning on teasing her till she couldn't take it anymore and was forced to beg for him to fuck her.
She caught on way too quickly as she shoved him away from her as she caught him off guard as he stumbled backwards.
She hovered over his ridged body as she began to speak.
"What the hell did you think you were doing?
Clark stared blankly at her.
She tucked the corner of the sheet in between her breast as she placed a hand on her hip and pointed another finger directly at him.
"Come on Clark, don't tell me you actual thought you could take over the situation, like that?"
He struggled to get to his feet; she seemed to make him weak almost powerless.
She smiled as she herself witnessed her power over him. She turned to leave.
"I am gonna take a shower." She glanced over her shoulder and winked at him as she untucked the sheet. It fell to the ground effortlessly. "Join me if you wish." And at that she was gone.
Clark scuffed his feet at the ground. Why did she do this to him? Did she get some kind of pleasure out of it? Did she like seeing him suffer? How could a man be so strong and invulnerable to everyone and just about everything, and yet seems so powerless to this damn woman?
Clark grabbed his clothes from off the floor and headed towards the bathroom where Lois awaited him.
Chapter Six"Lois if you don't speed it up, you are gonna make us late for work again. And unlike you I don't necessarily like getting my ass chewed out by Perry." Clark voiced as he paced back in forth in the corridor of her apartment.
The pacing suddenly came to a halt as Lois appeared from behind the once closed door to her bathroom in a pair of worn out old blue jeans with tears in the knees and a couple under her behind, and a casual white tank top. Her hair hung loosely up in a bun with strains of wild locks decorating her face and with absolutely no make-up on once so ever.
Just like this is when Clark found Lois the most beautiful, With nothing, but her weekend best on.
"Uh-" Clark stumbled to find his wording. "Wha-what are you doing Lo?"
He waited for her reply, but all she did was stare blankly down at her feet.
"We gotta be at work in less then 15." Clark said as he looked to his watch for the time and then back at her.
"Well…I don't wanna go!" She stated as if she was a teenager and Clark was her mother, demanding that she had to go to school.
"Lois we all do things we don't want to do. So hurry it up and get dressed." Clark demanded her to do so rather then requested her as he pointed to her bedroom.
"Please Clark! Let's just not go, how about we play hooky like we did when we were in school?" Lois pleaded with him. She looked up at him through thick lashes as she stuck out her bottom lip.
"I never played hooky in school." Clark stated going weak in the knees at gesture of her bottom lip. He just wanted to suck on it and maybe give it a little nibble, but instead he pushed the thought away. Saving it in the back of his mind for a later time.
"Oh! Yeah that's right! I forgot you were little goodie, goodie too shoes, never do anything wrong." Lois said as she rolled her eyes at his comment.
Clark let out a huff at her scheme to get him to buckle under the pressure. And if Lois knew him the way she did, he would. Considering it being Lois who always seemed to get him into trouble.
As soon as Lois saw that he had given up, she jumped with joy like a little kid who had just convinced their parents to buy them something expensive.
Clark couldn't help but let the smile break from its cage as he watched her jump with glee.
"So Lois what do we do on this day of 'hooky'?" Clark inquired as he used the bunny fingers on the word 'hooky'.
"We are going to go to the fair…so we got to stop by your house so you can change, okay?"
"Yeah I assume so." And at that Lois grabbed him by the wrist and high tailed it out of there, dragging him along the way.
As they left the apartment and made there way through the parking garage to Lois' car, Lois passed Clark her cell phone.
"Call Chlo and let her know the plan has been put into motion and then call Lex and say the same to him as well." Lois whispered as she made her way into the driver's seat.
Clark stared at her with his baffling look.
"Uh…What plan?" He asked as he got in on the passenger's side.
Lois laughed at a high pitch.
"We all, already planned to go to the county fair last weekend and my job was to convince you to take the day off and come with us, since we all knew you wouldn't take the day off willingly. I already called us in sick, I told Perry it seems to be some kinda food poison and that we would be back and ready for work tomorrow." Lois said as she started up the engine and it roared into life.
"So how are the newlyweds liking their new life style?" Clark interrogated as he peeked his head around the corner of the hallway as he place a plain white T over his tight abdomen.
"Well let's see, Chloe said their honeymoon went so well that she is thinking about divorcing him and then remarrying Ollie just so they can do it all over again. That good enough for ya Clarkie?" Lois said her arms criss cross under her bust.
He walked into the living area and sat down on the old frumpy couch as he began to tug on his boots.
"I mean that must have been some really good loving to wanna do it all over again." Lois said as she raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah, it isn't like you would know considering the fact that he didn't have sex with you." The words left his mouth before he even had the time to rethink it over.
She didn't give him a chance to explain or even mutter out a 'sorry' before she tossed one of his throw pillows at him.
Hitting him smack dab in the face.
Clark searched her face for some kind of remorse in the non-coexisting relationship with her now cousin in-law. And when he only encountered a rather colossal grin forming at the corners of her delicate mouth.
He smiled his famous 'Clark Kent' smile at her as he finished doing up his shoes.
"Clark do you ever think we'll find that special someone?" Lois asked Clark through dreamy eyes.
He felt a diminutive ache pull at his heart as the words flowed from her mouth so effortlessly as if the thought was locked up in her brain and thought about time and time again.
"I am sure one day Lois…if not sooner." Clark muttered to her as he got up and strolled over to her and extended an arm.
"Well Smallville, you better be right. Otherwise if I die alone with no one to love I am so coming back to hunt you in your dreams." She mentioned as she captured his hand in hers sending little electric shivers up and down her body.
"You already do." Clark mumbled under his breath as he helped her up and they walk to the front door.
"Did you say something?" Lois asked as she turned on heel with her wallet and keys in hand.
He shook his head.
"Okay then, lets get this show on the road then." She smiled widely at him and turn to leave.
Clark stopped her with a hand to her elbow, "No wait."
She looked up at him confused as to why he was prolonging their visit to his apartment.
"Yeah?"
Clark snatched the keys from her hand and tossed them on the coffee table as he held up his own.
"I don't think I can take another 'almost accident' well watching you talk on the phone, so I am going to be the responsible friend and say that I drive."
Lois laughed.
"Something funny?" He questioned her laughter.
"Nope, just didn't think you could even still consider this relationship a friendship anymore." She said as she shook her head at him.
"Oh is that so?"
"Yes very much so."
"I didn't think you of all people would consider this even a relationship, but nice to know that you think of me as a boyfriend instead of a friend." Clark grinned as he watched her eyes expand.
"Does this mean we can hold hands in public and tell Chloe and Lana about us?" He asked as he raised his eyebrows.
"There is no 'us' Clark. Never was, still isn't." She established as she walked out the apartment building.
"Suit yourself Lois…I mean whatever gets you to sleep at night." He followed her.
She abruptly came to a stop as she turn to face him.
"Clark Jerome Kent!"
"Louise Joanne Lane!" Clark shouted back at her.
Lois couldn't help, but smile at the way Clark said her full name aloud.
"Come on Smallville. If we hurry we can beat the kids to the rides before they get out of school." She said as she took hold on his wrist, dragging him along her side.
Clark caught up to her and only smiled as he entwined his fingers with hers as they walked along the corridor of the building.
And the scandalous thing was that Lois didn't object to holding his hand.
Chapter SevenFlashback
7 Years ago
The music blared from the speakers that hung high on the streetlights, surrounding the fair with country music.
The couple walked hand in hand as they strolled the sidewalk, the party lights illuminated their figure as the sun started to set. They appeared to be so in love something that even the average eye could pin point.
At first glance the one thing you saw was just an average couple who seemed to have been dating for quite sometime, seeing as the fact that they appeared to get along so affectionately. But what the eye didn't catch on to is that these two were new to the game…They had only been dating casually for only two months…that these seemingly love birds had been long time friends, always cursing their feeling for one another. Trying to hide behind the bickering and bantering.
But something had changed to not only better their own lives but also the loved ones around them. To their own surprise they fit so well together, matched one another almost like the fairy tale movies.
Everyone around them could see as the tension built up inside of them. Chloe had once told Lois that they were made for each other, but Lois only pushed it off because she just figured it was Chloe's way of trying to get Oliver. But deep down Lois knew that wasn't the way her cousin was. And Lois knew in her heart of hearts that she and Clark may have been complete opposites, but they always did say opposites attract?
As for Clark's side of the story…Lana had once told him that the best relationships
Always start out with hating and arguing. At the time Clark didn't understand due to the fact that he seemed to still be under the 'Lana thrall.' Something that he didn't see. Clark always found Lana fascinating, but their relationship came to an end, for she had secret feelings of her own.
"Can we stay this way forever?" Lois questioned Clark, turning to face him as she placed her delicate hands over his brawny chest.
His heart wanted to melt…He wanted to kiss her with such passion that it killed him when he tried to resist. "Of course Lois, I wouldn't want it any other way."
She smiled gracefully. She was so full of life…so full of hope to love and be loved. Clark couldn't resist himself as he leaned down, his hands enveloping her jaw line right above her neck. His lips hovered a couple of inches away from hers, waiting for her to lean in the rest of the way, afraid to break the spell. He shuddered from under her as she pressed her lips against his, feeling as if it was for the first time.
When their intense lip lock came to abrupt end, 'Turn it Loose' by The Judds came from the dainty speakers, blaring.
"Dance with me, Lois?" Clark asked his partner as he extended his hand out to her.
Upon accepting it Clark guided her to the slick wooden floor as he whirled her into his embrace as they danced to a slow paced song, inside their hearts.
End of Flashback
Present day
"Clark, dance with me?" Lois asked rather then demanded like she usually would.
"I don't know Lois…The only way you can get me to dance with you is if you tell me that since the last time we danced you've taken lessons. Otherwise I don't think my tootsies can hand you big feet stomping all over them again." Clark joked.
"Shut up Smallville and dance with me." Lois ordered him, this time she was the one extending her arm for his acceptance.
He smiled as he stalked closer to her, receiving her hand.
"Well doesn't this seem all to familiar?" Lois asked as they headed toward the dance floor.
"Yeah except we are only friends now." Clark chuckled.
Arms wrapped themselves around Clark's neck as he swathed encircling her petite waist. "Oh so we are friends now…Does that mean your breaking up with me?"
"No. I would never do a thing like that, I am whatever you want me to be." He said, pressing the palm of his hand to the middle of her back, pushing her closer to his muscular build.
A wail of pleasure escaped her throat as she welcomed his ridged form.
"You just tell me what you want Lois and I'll be that for you." Clark whispered into her ear, his hot breath sending shivers up and down her body.
Looking up through thick lashes, "I want you to be more…I want you to be so much more." Lois whimpered almost sounding as if she was pleading with him.
Just as Clark smiled, leaning down to plant another kiss upon her silent velvet lips, Lois placed her hand against his chest and pushed him backwards. Only enough to separate the two and create breathing room.
"And as much as I would love for that to happen…" Clark stared at her bewildered. "It just didn't work out the first time, what makes you think it will work out this time?"
Her green orbs widen to the size of meteor rocks at his words.
"It all doesn't matter anymore Lois…I love you so much, I can't live with out you. That is how I know it will work." Clark said as the song ended, the town folks descending from the dance floor.
Lois let out a sigh. "Clark why do you continue to make this harder then it needs to be?" Lois inquired as she ran a hand over his cheek. "We tried the whole relationship thing out and it didn't go so well, don't you remember?"
"Of course I remember. That isn't something you just forget. It wasn't that the relationship didn't work out, you just didn't want it to work out after what happened, Lois."
If looks could kill, Clark would be laying on the floor lifeless as his words hit her like a running train.
"How dare you, Clark. You promised to never bring that up again." Lois said as the tears welled up behind her eyes at the memory.
"No Lois I didn't promise you anything. You kinda forced it upon me to keep my mouth shut."
Lois' hand shot through the air, landing rather loudly on her leg as if a sign of frustration. "Why do you always seem to kick me when I am already down?"
Clark shrugged his shoulders. "Probably for the same reason you do it to me."
Lois said nothing, which was a huge shocker.
"You know maybe your right. I couldn't possibly be with some one who can't even admit she has feelings for me let alone admit you were at one time carrying my child!"
The tears now running down her face gathering up in a puddle around her feet. "Does this mean we're over?"
"Did you forget already Lois? There never was an 'us'." Clark spoke the broken words as he treaded away from her.
"Uncle Clark!" Lily said as she ran up to Clark and hugged on his leg.
Looking up, Clark came eye level with Lana and Lex.
Chapter Eight Flashback"Clark, we're pregnant!" Lois shouted with delight as she held the plastic applicator to his face.
Clark looked down at the test then back at Lois who had a tremendous smile gracing her precious face. The news hadn't truly hit him yet so he only stared up at her with the strangest look in his eyes.
"Clark did you hear me?" She questioned him as she waved the test around his face as it flashed 'Pregnant' in big bold letters. "I said we are pregnant!" She declared once more just incase he hadn't heard her.
But he had heard her, every last word of it. He just never thought in a million years that he would be able to father a child. To least of all the girls, Lois. She just didn't seem like the mother type; she didn't seem like the kinda person who would jump for joy at news like that. He had always seen her as the one to be pissed about it. He could always imagine Lois being the kind that complained because she was being stretched to impeccable size. Or the fact that she was always hungry and never full unless she was too full to the point of no return and puking.
"Is it mine?" Clark asked, confused.
"Umm…Yeah! Whose else would it be?"
Clark shrugged his shoulder at the stupid question, as Lois smiled. And that is when it hit him, he was going to be a father.
He grabbed the test from her hand and walked away. With Lois following close behind. "What are you doing?" She muttered as she had to speed walk just to catch up with him.
"I am going to frame this…" He stopped, turned around as Lois walked straight into his chest. He picked her up and held her close to his heart he never wanted to let her go.
He stood there holding her in his embrace, listening to the calming sounds of her heartbeat. When out of nowhere he noticed light faint sounds of a tiny heart as it thumped away, mimicking the sounds of it's moms.
He rapidly pulled her off of him as he held her out at arm length. "I forgot I probably shouldn't hold you to close or even squeeze you like I did, I don't want to harm the baby." He said as he noticed a small wet spot on her cheek looking almost like a tear.
"I love you so much." She whispered softly as she wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning in for warming hug.
"Just when I thought I couldn't possibly love you anymore, you had to go and get pregnant just to prove me wrong?" Clark chuckled as Lois joined in on the giggle.
End of flashback
"You aren't planning on leaving our fun filled day before Chloe even got here, now are you Clark?" Lana asked as she rubbed her blooming belly with one hand, held on to Lex's with the other.
"No, Clarkie here was just going to get me a soda pop and some cotton candy, right Clark?" Lois inquired as she delayed the inevitable with quick changed of the subject.
"Yeah actual I was. Do you guys want anything well I am over at the concession stand?" Clark took the hint, not really wanting to leave in the first place. She just had away of pushing him away to the point of no return, and that is exactly what he was planning on doing…as soon as the day was over.
"No we are all good. We actually have to eat afterwards, otherwise Lily with vomit all over the place, you know how weak her stomach is." Lana stated as she grabbed her daughter's hand and held her close as a crowd walked by.
"By the way it is nice to see you decided to play on the wild side today." Lex pronounced.
"What?" Clark asked in a very confused manner for he wasn't listening he was plotting and planning ways of avoiding Lois.
"You know, skipping out of work to come and hang out with us. We never really get to see you two that often. I mean I know you guys work together and have really busy lives and all, but it is really nice seeing you two."
Crap! Clark forgot all about work. How was he suppose to avoid her when he had to work with her?
"What are you blabbing on about Lex? We just saw them at Chloe's wedding." Lana said smiling at her dear husband and how forget full he could be.
"Did someone say my name?" Chloe asked as she emerged from a crowd of people.
Both Lana and Lois ran toward Chloe, Lois was in the lead, but that was only because Lana had extra weight to carry, but in the end the both seemed to come close in knocking Chloe over in a giant hug.
"Oh Chloe I missed you so much." The words came out muffled as Lois had her head in the crook of Chloe's neck.
"How was the honeymoon?" Lana asked as Oliver showed up behind Chloe, wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her close to his frame.
"It was so nice! And Ollie was such a sweetheart." Chloe spoke as she turned to Oliver, planting a swift kiss on his lips.
Lana chuckled. "Yeah well take lots of advantage of it, otherwise the it will be over within a month. Trust me I should know."
They all three giggled aloud.
"Okay well I am gonna go and get that stuff for you, Lois." Clark said, walking away with out even looking back at her.
"What is up his butt?" Chloe questioned, sensing the anger held in side of Clark.
"He is just up set about missing work." Lois lied. "Just ignore him."
"Okay, so do you guys wanna hear our good news?" Chloe inquired, holding tightly to Oliver's hand.
"Are you guys pregnant already?"
"No Lana." She couldn't help, but to laugh at Lana's assumption
"Okay then what?" Lily asked as she tugged on Lois' hand, tears slipping from her eyes running down her flushed face.
"Lo, are you okay?" Chloe asked worry written in her voice.
