CHAPTER 9

"Oh my goodness. This place looks amazing. They really went all out." Martha Kent stepped off the elevator and looked around the loft stunned. Behind her Clark, Pete, Lana, Lois, General Lane and Lucy all followed and looked around the transformed loft.

Green and golden ribbons hung from the rafters and draped from the walls. Sparkling Christmas lights were hung everywhere. All the normal furniture had been removed. Instead the room held chairs and table covered in green and gold. Twelve chairs were arranged in front of a beautifully decorated archway that stood in the doorway to the balcony. The balcony itself was strewn with flowers and petals and had a green partition the blocked the blinding light of the setting sun but allowed you to still see the beauty of it. A long large table was setup in front of the hidden room and there was a beautifully decorated cake sitting in the middle. Various other containers were set on the table, holding a large variety of food.

"It's so beautiful." Lana exclaimed as she took it all in, waving to the small group already gathered by the balcony. "Hi, guys. How are you?"

"Still taking in the overkill on decorations for a simple dinner." AC told her pointing at the archway.

"Hey Lana, how have you been?" Victor ignored AC's comment to give her a hug.

"I'm better now that physical therapy is over. Finally able to walk completely on my own." Lana smiled at him as she placed her hand back in Pete's. "How have you been?"

"Good. Still having to keep an eye on these two." Victor looked around and noticed someone missing. "Bart! Leave her alone."

Andrea laughed as she watched Victor stalk over to Bart to try to get him to stop hitting on Lucy. Turning to Lana and Pete she extended her hand. "We haven't met before. I'm Andrea a friend of Chloe's."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Pete and this is Lana. We've actually heard a lot about you."

"You two grew up with Clark and Chloe right? But I thought you lived in Wichita or somewhere?" Andrea looked confused.

"He moved back to run the farm for Clark." Lana glanced over to where Clark still stood beside Lois. Both of them were still taking in the decorations. Laughing Lana pointed it out to the others. "Look at them. They look shell shocked. It's only a little bit of decoration."

Overhearing the last part of Lana's comment, Lois stopped her staring to ask. "Isn't it a bit much for just a dinner though?"

"Definitely!" Clark agreed.

"She did say it was a celebration." Lucy joined their conversation leaving Bart behind with Victor. "But it looks more like a…" Lucy broke off.

"A wedding?" Oliver said as he walked down the hallway hand in hand with Chloe. Gabe and a man who was obviously a pastor following behind them. "Well that's because it is."

"It is what?" Bart asked.

"A wedding!" Chloe told him.

"Whose?" AC asked.

"Ours." Oliver responded then kissed Chloe.

"You're marrying AC?" Bart asked before Lois walked over and hit him on the back of the head. "Ow, don't do that I was just joking."

Chloe shot an appreciative look at Lois before she began to speak. "We tricked you all into coming to our wedding…"

"YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED!! BUT YOU'VE ONLY DATED FOR A FEW WEEKS." Clark yelled. 'She can't marry him she's mine! No Kal, she's not yours. She's in love with him. I had her first. She belongs to me. Not him. You have to stop her. Don't let him take her away! She'll always be there for us she's not going anywhere. And she's finally happy, so just shut up Kal.'

Lois stormed over to him and smacked him hard on the back of the head. "Geez Smallville, cool it. It doesn't matter how long they've dated as long as they are in love. And we all know they are. Head over heals, Barking mad, forever kind of love." She hissed out not realizing how loud she was actually talking until she saw everyone looking at her. "Sorry about that."

Oliver chuckled. "I don't agree with the barking mad part but everything was well said."

"Sorry guys. Don't mind my…well shouting. I was just surprised. Congratulations." Clark apologized awkwardly and blushed.

"Thank you." Chloe smiled brightly. "Today is my wedding day and if you all will take your places by the archway, we can get this started." Everyone quickly scrambled to a seat by the archway. Oliver calmly took his place beside the pastor as Chloe stood beside her father.

Oliver stared at his fiance as she stood beside her father. She had forbidden him seeing her or her dress until just a few minutes ago and he now drank in the sight. The dress wasn't one color but started a brilliant white at the bodice, complete with sparkling jewels, that slowly shaded as you went down to the darkest green at the hem of the skirt. The bodice was form fitted and ended in a soft point just below her waist. The sleeves fell off her shoulders to rest on her upper arms and flowed, open on the inside, down past her fingertips. The skirt was full and made from a flowing material. Suddenly she stood before him and her father was giving her away.

'I can't believe this is really happening.' Chloe took his hand and practically glowed. The two stood there staring into each others eyes as the ceremony proceeded. Time passed swiftly and before they knew it the Preacher announced that they were married. Oliver cupped her face as he leaned in to kiss her passionately but softly. They gleamed as they turned to face their family and friends.

"It is my great pleasure to introduce for the first time Oliver and Chloe Queen." the Preacher announced. It was greeted by the cheers of their guests.

"Alright!" Bart hollered and whistled before saying very seriously. "Can we eat now?" Seeing Lois's hand coming up to hit him again, Bart quickly sidestepped her and put several people between them. "WHAT? I was invited to dinner and I'm starving."

"You're always starving." AC said stressing the word starving.

"Bart, that was a little rude." Martha admonished him before turning to face. "And that is no way to act at a wedding Lois. Even a surprise one. I'm sure…" Martha Kent was promptly cut off by the sound of her own stomach grumbling which everyone heard and laughed at. "Sorry I haven't eaten much today, I had to rearrange meetings to be able to have the night free."

"I guess it wasn't nice of us to invite you to dinner and then keep you from it. But no need to worry we do have food ready and waiting." Chloe laughed softly as she indicated the long table.

"Ready for dinner, anyone?" Oliver asked as he walked with Chloe to the table.

Clark watched the happy couple as they led the group to the table to eat. Instead of following the group he turned and headed out to the balcony as images flashed through his mind. Images of himself standing beside Chloe at the alter, dancing together, kissing and holding their child. Clark leaned on the concreted wall and sighed to himself.

'She was mine and you let her slip through your fingers. You let him steal the only woman worthy of being my woman.'

'Chloe was never yours and never mine. We…I had a chance with her, but only ended up hurting her. She deserves better then me, then us. He is always there for her, loving her, putting her first. He treats her the way she deserves. He loves her better then I ever could.'

'No mortal man is good enough for her. She deserves a god, a god like me. We were perfect together. I will get her back. She belongs to me.'

'No Kal she doesn't belong to you or any man. And you are no god. You aren't even real. You are just the ghost of a rebellious teen. Chloe is happy and in love. And I'll do everything in my power to make sure it stays that way. Even if it means burying my feelings and just being the best friend. That's what she deserves from me. For me to be the best friend, who backs her and is always there for her. And that's what she going to get.'

"Clark? Aren't you going to come celebrate my wedding?" Chloe asks from the doorway.

"Just enjoying the sunset, Chloe. Or should I say Mrs. Queen?" Clark laughs as he walks over to wrap his arm around her shoulder. "You sure shocked me. But as long as you're happy I'm happy. But can you do me one favor?"

"Sure what's that?" Chloe looks up at him as they walk back inside.

"Get your husband to change my code name. I hate being called 'Boy Scout'." Clark whispered into her ear.

Her laugh was loud and bubbly drawing attention to them. "Maybe when you stop acting like one we'll get you a new name. Now lets eat I'm starving. It's hard work keeping a surprise A SURPRISE with this group."
