That night the four of them ate supper in awkward silence. Martha had fixed a meal of Lasagna and salad a meal she knew everyone liked. After they all ate, Martha sat her plate aside and glared at those at her table. Especially at Jonathan at Lucy. "We have to talk. A family meeting is going to be held after Supper".
Clark raised an eyebrow. "Everything ok mom? You don't seem like yourself. Do I need to go upstairs?" Lucy looked around wondering what Martha was upset about. "No, join us Clark, you'll need to hear this as well". They found out fifteen minutes later as Jonathan, Clark, and Lucy sat in a huddle on the livingroom sofa across from Martha.
Martha walked in the livingroom carrying a yellow envelope. "I got this in the mail yesterday. Someone wanted me to see these photos. And it looks like I'm not the only one who's cheating on my spouse around here!" Martha pulled out the photos and showed Jonathan , Lucy, and Clark the Photos. Jonathan stared at them unable to speak at first. Lucy gasped and also stared in shock. There they were in black and white photos. Kissing, holding one another. Martha glared at them "Now, I know what I was doing with Lionel was wrong. And I'm trying to change my ways and prove I love you. But this is ridiculous Jonathan! Lucy is a minor! you are a grown man in his late
forties! For christ sake, Lucy, your my son's girlfriend! How dare you to be getting involved with my own husband! I expected better out of you!" Martha exploded.
Jonathan took control of the situation. "Now, listen Martha, You have to understand. I was hurt when I found out you were seeing LIonel. Lucy was hurt because she caught Clark Clark sleeping with Lois. Our emotions got the best of us. We thought you two were done with us. We were both lonely and needed to comfort each other. So we turned to each other. But, we only kissed. We didn't sleep with one another". said Jonathan. "You shouldn't be yelling at Lucy. Yell at me. I'm the one who kissed her first. I took advantage of her being vulnerable."
Clark couldn't believe his ears. Things were so messed up around here. Now, he couldn't look at Lucy. Just the thought of her kissing his dad made him sick. Lucy turned to him, her eyes glistening in tears. "Clark, your the one for me, the kiss with your dad, meant nothing!" Lucy pleaded for him to believe her.
"Save it for someone who cares Lucy. You judge me for sleeping around with Lois. Now you kissed my Dad! I - I-I can't look at you right now". Clark got up and left. Lucy cried. Things were so messed up right now. She looked at the Kents. She might have done damage to their marriage.
Martha looked at Jonathan and sighed "Our marriage needs help. We need to see a counselor". she said her voice cracking. Jonathan nodded agreeing. "For the first time I agree with you Martha. We do need marriage help. It will heal our marriage".
"I hope it will Jonathan, I hope it will". Not saying another word to Lucy, she went upstairs to bed to be alone.
Jonathan turned to Lucy "She's real mad and upset right now. But, she'll come around. Just give her some time, okay?" Lucy nodded. She got into her car and drove to Lois's apartment in which she resided in the Talon.
