Superman's little Angel's
Part 3
Two months later
It was the middle of the night when both Clark and Chloe were woken…as usual…from their sleep by the cries of their two month old baby Sky.
"It's your turn" Chloe groaned, covering her face with the bed cover, trying to hide herself from her husband so she didn't have to move from the warmth of her bed.
"Fine…I'll be back in a minute" Clark answered like the loving husband he is, making his trek to the end of the bed to the crib, lifting Sky into his strong arms, with the grace and gentleness only a father could know.
"What's wrong angel? Shhh, don't cry" Clark cooed, rocking Sky peacefully in his arms, stroking her full head of dark luscious brown hair, which already, possessed Clark like curls.
It didn't take Clark long to figure out that all she wanted was attention, just as all their other children had. He lay back in bed, placing Sky carefully in the middle of her parents, leaving just the tip of his finger by her mouth, watching her bite down on his finger, he didn't need to be Superman for this job, she still only had a mouth full of gums, and she couldn't hurt anyone by doing this. This littletrick something he learnt rather quickly, as the only thing to easily send her back off to sleep.
And it would seem that it wouldn't disappoint, as Sky immediately drifted back into her blissful sleep, content in being cuddled in the middle of her parents.
Chloe had woken early the next day, partly due to Sky waking up again, but mainly because it was the first day back to school and the twins first day of secondary school…Chloe was sure she felt more nervous than they did.
Chloe went first to Connor's room, knocking rapidly for several minutes, until she finally heard grunts of tiredness come from inside, she opened the door, just enough to poke her head through.
"Connor, it's time to get up…first day of school remember and I'm counting on you to look out for John and Lara today"
"What…John and Lara?" Connor asked, his voice still masked with tiredness, as he tried to wake himself up, rubbing his face with his hands, pushing his scruffy dark curls out of his eyes.
"Connor…it's their first day of school at Smallville High…you are meant to be taking them with you today" Chloe stressed, convinced she would have a nervous breakdown if anything else decided not to go as planned.
"Oh right…kay, whatever…I'll take em" Connor slurred out, sitting in his bed, revealing his defined chest, though it wasn't as impressive as his fathers, he definitely came close second place.
"Thanks Connor…now get up" Chloe yelled, closing the door, making her way to John's room…knowing he would be the hardest to wake…sometimes Chloe couldn't understand how he could sleep so long and so deeply.
"John hunny…John, wake up…it's your first day of school" Chloe lovingly pried for over five minutes, rocking his shoulders lightly; eventually able to see his eyelids flutter open, to be looked at with his beautiful clear blue eyes.
"Oh muuum…do I have to? I'm so tired" John whined, pulling the covers high up over his head, only to have them pulled back down by his mother.
"Yes you do…come un you get up, Lara has to get up too, your not the only one" Chloe reassured, knowing that if she was to say Lara wasn't getting up yet, he would lay his head back on his pillow and would be out for the count for another half hour…that wasn't going to happen today.
"Ok, ok…I'm getting up see" John almost whispered, sliding his legs over the side of his bed.
"Good boy…now get dressed and breakfast will be ready soon…Dad's making pancakes" Chloe teased, watching John's face light up, as he super-sped around his room and stood, ready and dressed in front of Chloe in less than two seconds.
"Well…aren't you eager? Go and get your sister up, maybe if you tell her about the pancakes she will get dressed as fast as you"
"I'll try mum, but you know what Lara's like, she's slow at everything" John said a huge grin spreading across his face, feeling it quickly disappear as he received a hard glare from his mother.
"Sorry"
"Ok, now go and get her up…nicely!" Chloe said with a hard voice, pointing her finger at him accusingly, already knowing what he was thinking.
"Oh! You always spoil my fun" John muttered to himself as he trudged along the hallway to Lara's room.
Clark had finished making the pancakes, and was dishing them out onto everyone's plates…his children sat eagerly around the dining table, eyeing the food hungrily, preserving the anticipation of eating their dad's famous pancakes…of course though, they couldn't beat their grandmother's pancakes; she was the best cook ever.
"Eat up kids, you gotta leave for school soon" Clark enthused, joining them at the table.
All three children, practically diving into their plates, devouring their pancakes as fast as they could. Clark's fork stopped midway as he watched his children attack their food like savage beats, falling back in their chairs after clearing each of their plates in seconds.
"Wow I guess you lot really was hungry" Clark grinned, sitting back in astonishment.
Connor just smiled and shrugged, knowing by a glance that John had that look on his face, the look that meant he was about to do something bad.
John sat staring at his sister, waiting for her to bring her glass to her mouth, when suddenly he shot a heat ray onto the palm of her hand, causing her to drop her glass and pull her hand back in shock…even though it didn't hurt it still made her jump.
Connor, who had already seen this coming super-sped to catch the glass, but little did he know, Clark had also sped around the table, reaching their destinations at the same time, Connor and his father crashed into each other, both being sent flying across opposite ends of the kitchen, Connor smashing into a refrigerator and Clark falling into the dishwasher, both men denting their obstructions beyond repair.
Both missing the glass, amidst the commotion, the galss fell to the floor, barely being heard smashing into the ground.
Chloe, whilst all of this took pace, sat with Sky in her arms, feeding her milk, when she almost dropped her baby at the tremendous crash of her husband and son smashing into either side of the room.
"What the hell is going on?" Chloe yelled, causing Sky to cry in her arms at the combined shock of the crashes and her mother's loud voice.
John sat; his head hung low, his face covered with guilt, whilst Lara sat a smug look on her face, looking over at her brother, knowing that their mother wasn't going to stand for such behaviour and was probably going to ground him…or worse.
"Jonathon! What have you got to say for yourself? Look what you have to done to you brother and father…are you proud of this? No I didn't think so…go and get ready for school…you're leaving" Chloe shouted, carefully placing Sky into her play pen, walking over to Connor ot make sure he was ok.
"Ha ha…you got told off…you got told off!" Lara chanted, pointing towards her brother, who by now was crying with guilt.
"Lara! You too, go and get ready" Chloe shouted, not in the mood to put up with any more bickering from the twins. Lara stopped in her tracks, knowing now just how seriously mad her mum was, walking quietly out of the room to join John getting her shoes on.
"Sorry Lara" John whispered as they walked side by side into the hallway.
"Don't worry about it John…I'll get you back later" Lara added, smiling wickedly his way, watching a look of concern wash over his features, then disappear before he though she would notice.
"Connor are you sure you ok" Chloe asked her son, feeling his body over for any sign of injuries, every now and again taking a glance behind her towards her husband, though she felt sure he would be fine, but Connor he hadn't matured into all of his powers yet and she wasn't willing to take a chance.
"Mum really I'm fine…MUM! I'm fine, can I have my hands back now" Connor asked, looking into his mothers worried eyes, as she grasped his wrists as though her life depended on it.
"Oh yer, you're sure? Ok, ok…Clark we have to sort those two out…soon, they're getting out of control, someday them gunna seriously hurt someone or themselves…you can talk to them when they get home, this can't continue, we have a baby in the house, we can't risk her getting hurt…even if she is a super baby"
"Fine, I'll have a chat with them later, but now I have to go to work…take good care of my little angel here…I'll be back before you know it" Clark reassured embracing his wife, lightly kissing her on the head, loving the feel of her fitting perfectly into his arms.
"Ok have a good day hunny…Connor get the car ready, don't forget you're taking them to school"
"Yes mum…I'm already on it, I'll take care of this mess when I get home" Connor said motioning towards the wreckage that his father and his own steel frame caused.
"John…Lara, come here" Chloe said more calmly than earlier.
"Mum?" Lara said coming to stand in front of Chloe.
"Look I know it's your first day at Smallville High and I just wont to let you know that it will be fine, Connor is going to take you and if you need any help Connor will be there to help…not that you probably can't take care of your selves, but still you remember he is there" Chloe said, trying to give them a pep talk, though really she was more trying to convince herself that everything would be ok.
"Mum we know Connor is there and yes we can take care of ourselves" Lara humoured her mother, rolling her eyes as though she had heard this speech many time before.
"Great…now that's out of the way…remember and this is the most important thing to remember…don't use…" Before Chloe could finish, both her children ended her sentence for her.
"…our powers, yes we know mum…can we go now?"
"Ok…I love you both, but be warned you are in for a serious chat tonight!"
"What?!? With who, you or dad?" John asked heading towards the door to leave.
"Your dad"
"Oh ok, nothing to worry about then" Lara added, following her brother to the car, before Chloe could retaliate to that remark, they were in the car and backing out of the driveway.
"Damn Clark and his weakness for his children…I suppose if you want a job done…I'll have to do it myself" Chloe muttered to herself walking into the kitchen, sighing at the mess of the mangle appliances, spotting Sky crying in her pen, she picked her up into her arms, washing away all of her anxieties as she stared lovingly into her daughter's eyes.
"I hope you aren't so much trouble when you get older"
Well...What do you think so far? I am really enjoying writing such challenging children...i can really imagine Clark and Chloe having to deal with this LOL
I am open to any suggestions that people may want to see happen at some stage in the story...it is a continuous randomness of one shots and can be thrown in any direction...here's your chance to say where :D
Let me know :D
