A short one but I think it's a good one... It's getting better in the next chapters ;) Please review!
Chapter 7
The darkness was slowly covering the city. Superman had been very busy today and Clark was happy that his powers were back. Being away of the Daily Planet and busy with very emergency, kept him from thinking about Lois and Richard wedding. As much as he knows it was for the best, Clark couldn't help to feel hurt. He was hovering above Metropolis when a gentle breeze brush his cape.
Kara: Kal are you alright?
Superman: Yeah. All my powers are back.
Kara: That's not what I meant.
Superman: I know. But I'll be fine.
Kara: You sure?
Superman: Yeah, I'll survived.
He had said this last sentence with a smile.
Kara: You know you're always welcome if you want to come to Argo City.
Superman: I know. But Jason needs me, I can't leave him again.
Kara gently put her hand on his shoulder.
Kara: If you ever need to talk or just get out of this mad house call Earth. You'll always be welcome to Argo City.
Superman: Thanks.
Kara: I need to go back. Please Clark be careful.
Superman: That's the first time you call me Clark.
Kara: It took me some time to get used to it that's all. Take care.
Superman: You too.
They hug before leaving their separate ways. Kara to Argo City and Clark to the Daily Planet. One he land on the roof, he could hear Lois heartbeat in the bull pen. He leave the roof to join her in the bull pen. She was there with Perry and Richard. They were talking about an congressman supposed affair. When the elevator rings, they turns to see Clark coming their way.
Perry: Finally made it back…
Clark: Yeah. Sorry but seems like the world could turn without me today.
Perry: Nice to know you're back.
Perry couldn't help to find that Clark doesn't seem quite happy.
Clark: Sorry for leaving in an hurry earlier.
Richard: No problem, we understand.
Clark: You haven't told me the date Lois.
Lois: Oh yeah… I think I forgot.
Perry: Date?
Richard: Lois and I finally set a wedding date.
Perry: Oh… congrats!
Perry eyes look at Clark. That's the reason of the sadnessin his features.
Lois: It will be the 18th of June.
Clark looks at them confusion in the eyes. Then without warning burst into laughter.
Richard: What?
Clark stop laughing a smile in his eyes.
Clark: Nothing it's just funny that of all 365 days in a year, you have choose this one. The 18th of June is special for me. It's the days my life has changed…
Lois: I don't understand.
Clark: My spaceship land on earth the 18th of June, almost 3 years ago.
Richard: Oh… That's…
As everyone start talking about the coincidence, Clark attention was drawn elsewhere. A weird sound reach his hear. At first, he wasn't sure of the source of the noise. Then it strike him. He looks surprised and speechless.
Clark: Oh my…
Richard: What Clark?
Clark: Lois… You're … you're pregnant?
Richard and Perry: WHAT?
Lois: Wait… How do you know? I just learn it this morning…
Clark: I can hear the baby's heartbeat.
Richard: You can hear… Lois, you're pregnant….
Lois looks at Richard, loveliness in her eyes.
Lois: Yes… you're going to be a father Richard…
Richard: Am I?
Lois: I'm 2 weeks late, so I must have 6 weeks done. If you count right…
Richard: Before Clark came back… I'm gonna be a father!
Clark: Congrats to you two.
Richard: Thanks.
He kiss Lois as Perry smile. Clark sight as the sound of a fire alarm reach his ears.
Clark: Sorry… fire…
He left in a burst of air.
