Chapter 2: Do I have the courage? No I don't.

When Lana got back she saw Chloe there and Chloe asked,

"So what did Dr. Jenskins say? Are you sick? Is there something wrong with you?"

"No nothing's wrong with me it's just-"

"It's just what?"

"Sorry I can't tell you"

"Well then I'll just ask Dr. Jenskins about what's wrong with you then"

"No please don't I'll just tell you"

"Spill it! what's happening to you?"

"Ok" Lana sighed. "Chloe the reason I'm pregnant is-"

"What you're pregnant!"

"Oh God why did I tell you that. I was going to tell you the reason why I am sick. Argh I hate being like that"

"You're pregnant Lana? Your not joking are you?"

"I'm not and the baby belongs to Clark"

"You are going to tell him right?"

"Yes but I want to tell him myself so please don't tell him immediately" Lana said but deep down she doesn't have the courage to tell him even though its his.

"Ok but if really you don't tell him I'm the one who's going to tell him because no matter what that baby is Clark's and he has the right to see him or her, ok?"

"Yeah whatever you say"

That night Lana couldn't sleep and was thinking about on how will she tell Clark about her pregnancy. As well as Clark, he also couldn't sleep on how will he tell his secret to Lana. But both of them was very tired of thinking that they fell asleep. In the morning, Clark woke up still thinking on how will he tell Lana his secret and Lana woke up still thinking on how will she tell Clark that she is pregnant. A few weeks past and Lana went back to Dr. Jenskins for her monthly check up.

"Hi Dr. Jenskins. I'm back can't you see?"

"Yes I can see but you're supposed a guy with you right now"

"Why?"

"The father of your child"

"Oh you're right but I haven't told him yet"

"Why not?"

"Because I'm afraid to tell him" Lana said lying down the bed and while Dr. Jenskins taking her an ultrasound.

"Maybe you should tell your boyfriend that you're pregnant before it's too late"

"Too late for what?"

"What if he breaks up with you right now without even knowing that you're pregnant? What's going to happen to you? You're an eighteen year old trying to raise a child alone"

"Well, maybe I should"

"Who is your boyfriend anyway? The father of your child"

"Uhmm, Clark Kent"

"What?"

"Yes I know it's a bit shocking"

"Well your baby's ok, its active and I guess its pretty much healthy"

"Thank you so much Dr. Jenskins, for everything"

"You're welcome and promise me that you'll tell Clark"

"Ok" Lana said but really hurt inside if she doesn't tell Clark that she's pregnant. Lana went inside her car and again as usual, she bursted crying again. She thought of the pregnancy thing while driving to her dorm.

"What am I going to do? Will I tell him or not?"

"Hey Lana where have you been?" Chloe said noticing Lana's tears.

Wiping her tears Lana said, "I've been to Dr. Jenskins to check on my baby and Dr. Jenskins said that it was ok"

"So did you tell Clark yet?"

"Tell Clark what?"

"Uhmm I think you're forgetting something Lana"

"What am I forgetting?"

"Maybe you haven't told him yet"

"Told him what?" Lana said pretending not to notice.

"That you're pregnant"

"Oh that. Not yet because I've been so busy this week" Lana lied to Chloe.

"Oh ok. So do you have plans tonight"

"Uhmm no. How about you"

"No. So maybe we could go to the mall or something"

"Sure"

After their conversation Lana and Chloe fixed their dorm and decided to go to the mall for "Shopping Therapy" they say. After the long shopping they did they ate dinner and went back to their dorm for sleep. In the morning, Lana really doesn't know how to tell Clark all about the baby. She thought of something that would help her but it would really hurt her inside.

"Lana what are you thinking"

"Uhmm I'm thinking about leaving"

"Huh?" Chloe said curiously.

"I'm thinking about leaving Kansas"

"What?"

"I know that's hard but I have to do it"

"Why"

"Uhmm Chloe I lied to you last night. I didn't tell Clark about the baby because I'm afraid to tell him. So just might as well leave than to tell him"

"What? Are you out of your mind?"

"I know it's hard Chloe but I have to. Don't worry when my baby is born I will have the courage to tell him"

"But Lana, you can't do this to Clark"

"I know but it's the only way, Chloe"

"Will I tell him that you're leaving?"

"Yes but tell him when I already left, ok?"

"Ok"

"But please Chloe don't tell him now"

"Ok so when are you leaving?"

"Uhmm tomorrow"

"What? Why so early?"

"Sorry I know its too early but I have to do it because when Clark sees me now I'm forced to tell him so I'm going to leave tomorrow"

"Ok fine but don't forget to call me always" Chloe said hugging Lana.

"I won't forget"

The two best friends started to cry.

"So I think you should get ready to start packing, huh?"

"Uhmm yes and could you help me?"

"Sure"

Chloe helped Lana to pack her things until it was evening and both of them were so tired they fell asleep.
