CHAPTER EIGHT

Clark was in the living room when his mother arrived home. "Hey sweetie. How was your day?" Martha asked.

"Long. Yours?" Clark asked as he gave her a hug and kiss on the cheek.

Martha looked at the coffee table and saw tons of parenting magazines. "Not as interesting as yours. What's all this about?" Martha asked as she picked up one of the magazines.

"Mom, you should sit down," he said as he guided her towards the couch.

"Sit down for what?" Martha asked.

"Mom, I got a girl pregnant," Clark said.

"What?' she asked. He can tell by the sound of her voice that he had her.

Chloe, Jimmy and Lois sat at the top of the staircase trying not to let Martha hear their laughter.

"This is too good," Lois whispered to both Chloe and Jimmy.

"This is so wrong," Chloe said.

"Yeah, I mean, come on. It's his mom," Jimmy said.

"I don't care. Clark is her son. And she played a trick on us. So, this way it'll be even."

Downstairs, Clark looked at his worried mother's face. "I don't understand how this happened." Martha immediately swallowed her own words. "Ok, I do understand how this happened, but who is she?" Martha asked.

She knew the answer to her question. She was pretty sure it was Lois, but she still wanted to be sure.

"It's Lois."

She was right. The girl that Clark got pregnant was Lois. She heard him say it was her, but she still couldn't believe it.

"Yeah, I know. I've known about your relationship since I got here," Martha said.

This was not part of the plan. His mom was suppose to act surprised and worried. Then, Lois would come down and tell her it was all a joke.

But she seemed happy to finally get Clark to admit his relationship with Lois. She seemed happy to out that Lois was pregnant.

"I can't believe I'm going to be a grandma. I'm so excited! Where's Lois?" Martha asked.

This is NOT part of the plan, Clark thought. Lois came down the stairs in a slow pace.

"Oh Lois! I can't believe it. You're going to be a mom," Martha said with a huge smile on her face. Martha ran and gave Lois a huge hug.

Lois was about to tell Martha the truth, when she said, " Oh, I have to tell everyone. I'm going to be a grandma! I'm so happy. I am going to go baby shopping right now!" She stormed out of the house before Lois could say a word.

"What just happen?" Clark asked.

"Great, Smallville. Now your mom thinks I'm pregnant."

"It was your idea, Lois."

They had no idea how they were going to break the truth to Martha.
