Chapter 7- Bride
Lois was in full focus, she had only 11 hours to turn the Kent's dull barn into Chloe dream palace, and by god Lois was gonna do it. Right now she was on the phone to the flower shop who still hadn't delivered the flowers for the bride bouquet "Listen to me and listen clear because I'm only gonna say this once, you better get those flowers down here in the next 2 hours or suffer the consequences." She demanded threatening the woman down the line.
"Y-yes mam" the woman stuttered.
"Good" Lois said hanging up; she walked down the barns old wooden stairs.
"You know being two months pregnant, you shouldn't really be climbing down old ladders" Clark said whilst leaning against the barns door.
Lois turned and her heart skipped a beat, he was so handsome "And you should know better than to frighten a pregnant woman" she said jokingly.
Clark chuckled, walked over to the mother of his child and put his arms around her waist, "I missed you last night" he said.
Lois smiled "well I am very missable" she said putting her arms around his neck, "I missed you too Smallville."
Clark was about to kiss her when a voice came over her walky-talky, "Mother goose. Come in mother goose" it said.
Clark laughed "Mother goose?" he asked.
Lois hit his chest "Mother goose here, what's wrong Grasshopper?" she asked, shooting Clark evil looks due to him laughing at her.
"Was it rows 5 you wanted the seats in? Over" the man said.
"NO…NO…NO! JESUS, I have told you this over and over, six rows of EIGHT! got that, EIGHT" she shouted.
"I'll see you later" Clark said sneaking off.
Lois wasn't listening, she was to busy bossing people or as Lois would of put it "directing people" around.
"Baby bear this is mother goose, come in baby bear" Lois said down the walky-talky.
"Lois I'm getting married today, don't you think I should really get promoted to Papa bear" Jimmy said walking into the barn carrying two suits. Lois rolled her eyes and was about to walk under a ladder before Jimmy stopped her "Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, don't want to jinx the big day" he said.
Lois walked over to a table filled with flowers "Seem a little twitchy there, Jimmy, butterflies in your tummy starting to do the rumba yet?" she said re-arranging the arrangement of flowers.
Jimmy shook his head "Nah I'm fine the only thing I'm nervous about is seeing Chloe before the ceremony, its bad luck" he said.
Lois smirked "What about the whole 'death do us part,' part, gotta be nerve racking" she said.
Jimmy just smiled "well when you've picked the right person, there's no need for wedding jitters" he said sincerely.
Lois looked at him for a moment and moved to the other end of the table "Good answer Jimbo" she said.
"You know speaking of the right person, since you don't have a plus one tonight, I'd like you to meet one of my friends" he said.
Lois sighed and pointed to her belly "I'm pregnant" she said putting emphasis on the word pregnant.
"Well his names Clark Kent" Jimmy continued, "You know father of your baby."
Lois rolled her eyes, she wasn't about to tell Jimmy about her and Clark when she wasn't even sure where it was going herself, "put away your bow and arrow cupid, the prince of plaid is not my prince charming" she said.
"Lois, you need to get down off your high horse and plant one on him" he said, Lois smirked 'I've been doing a lot of that' she thought, "Plus you are carrying his child" Jimmy stated. Lois shook her head, "Come on I see the way you guys look at each other" he said.
Lois scoffed "You need to get your eyesight checked Olson, Clark doesn't like me, he wouldn't even talk to me if it wasn't for this baby" she said turning away from Jimmy, she couldn't help but think there was some truth in what she had just said, Clark would never of said he liked her if she wasn't pregnant.
"Flirtation 101 lane, that's what a guy does when he's into a girl" Jimmy said.
Lois smiled, making sure that Jimmy didn't see it, and she then turned back towards him "Really?" she asked.
"Trust me, Lois and Clark would be perfect together, I can feel it in my gut" he said.
Lois let out a small laugh "Yeah…well take some painkillers and get over it" she said.
Jimmy laughed "Okay well I'm going to go practise my vows, will you give this to Mr Right" Jimmy asked, handing her a tux
"Okay" she said.
"Thank you" Jimmy said walking off. Lois stood there for moment thinking about Clark. When she noticed Bob filming her "Hey if you don't get that thing out of my face, I'll ring your bell buddy" she said punching him.

Jimmy opened the door to his and Chloe's apartment, to see Chloe stood there trying to put on her garter "Wow…you look great" he said star-struck.
"Well hello there cowboy" she said smiling, "Wanna give a girl a hand" she said holding up the garter.
Jimmy smiled "Oh my god" he said covering his eyes "I'm not suppose to see you before the wedding. Okay you know cut" he said covering up the lens to Bob's camera.
"Come on Jimmy, this is classic" Bob said stepping back.
"Just Go" Jimmy ordered. Bob went to stand outside, "I uh called your phone but you didn't answer, so I thought you were getting your hair curled or whatever" he said turning his back to her.
"I made the appointment earlier" Chloe said giggling at his actions.
He turned to face her "I wish you would of told me, otherwise I wouldn't of come" he said.
"Jimmy its fine, Calm down" she said.
Jimmy shook his head "No you don't get it, it's a disaster" he said.
"Maybe it's not so bad. I mean my garter clip is a little loose, but maybe it's good luck." She said.
"Seeing the bride before the wedding is like the Hindenburg of disasters worse then black cats, broken mirrors and all that." He said pumicing.
"Jimmy breath, look our love has weathered arrests and heart attacks, I think we will survive" she said.
Jimmy took a deep breath, making Chloe laugh, she held out her garter, jimmy took it and knelt down "I guess me showing up proves that when no one else is around to help we'll always be there for each other" he said looking into her eyes
Chloe nodded "Forever" she said.
Jimmy nodded "I'll go and get my bow tie" he said running off into the bedroom.
Chloe smiled and walked over to her phone when it started ringing, she bit a lip to see that she had a voicemail from Davis, she listened to it.
"Hey Chloe, look I know I'm the last person you want to hear from today but…uh…just please call me back" he said then hanging up.
"Who was that" Jimmy asked entering the room again.
Chloe laughed "General Lois again letting us know that we have a T minus 3 hours till D-day" she said jokingly, "So what do you say we get ready to storm the beach, handsome" she said.

Clark walked down the stairs of his home to see his kitchen filled with cooks and food, he walked into the lounge to see Oliver stood there. "Oliver" he said surprised. "Listen you better watch out for Lois, otherwise she'll enlist you in Chloe's wedding army" he said, Clark noticed something wrong "What's up?" he asked.
Oliver sighed "Lex is alive" he said, "We're tracking a wireless ghost router he's using to send emails to Tess Mercer, if we can get our hands on that router we can find out where they originated" He said.
Clark nodded "It's not like Lex to leave a trail" he said.
"He's not leaving a trail, his routers show up all over the globe but whenever I show up their always missing" Oliver stated.
"So you want me to race in there next time one of these routers pop up" Clark said.
Oliver nodded "That's right now basing it on previous patterns I expect one today, we could be hours away from locking that monster up for good" he said.
Clark shook his head "I can't do this today" he said.
"What are you talking about, you've given Lex like 100 second chances" Oliver said getting annoyed.
"And if he's out there alive he hasn't made a move for months, this can wait 24 hours but Chloe can't" he said.
"Chloe's wedding is that the real reason you don't wanna go after Lex, or is that just an excuse, Chloe will understand" Oliver stated.
"No she won't!" Clark said firmly, "When I took Chloe to Jor-El I asked him to leave out all the memories of who I really was" he said.
"Maybe Lex hasn't made his move yet but one day he will, he's more dangerous now than he ever was, Chloe may not know your secret anymore but Lex still does" Oliver said.
Just then Lois walked in "Oliver, it's good to see you again" she said giving him a hug.
Oliver looked at her and smiled, she looked so beautiful, her cursed himself for letting this woman go, "It's good to see you to Lois, how have you been" he asked.
Lois nodded "Yeah I've been good, well I'm pregnant" she said.
Oliver was shocked, "Y-your what?" he said shocked.
Lois laughed "Yup, 2 months" she said rubbing her stomach.
Oliver smiled "who's the father?" he asked.
Lois bit her lip and looked back at Clark, who came over and put an arm around her "I am" he said.
Oliver was in utter shock "wow…uh…congratulation, I'm sorry I've got to go" he said rushing off.
Clark sent Lois an 'I'm sorry' look then went after him, leaving Lois wondering "What the hell just happened?" she said.
