A/N: The way that this is progressing has me thinking that maybe Lois Lane will make an apperance, I just don't know how or when.

Chapter 10

Clark just listened as Sam spilled his heart out. He was wrong his Dad was right he would grow up to be a great father one day. Sam got up and went to walk down the stairs. He turned around and addressed Clark once again.

"By the way Clark I would of never talked to my Dad the way I've been doing to you and your Dad."

"You wouldn't"

"Hell no, my Dad would of killed me a long time ago. I'm not dumb."

Clark just smiled has Sam walked down and out of the barn. He realized something, Sam had mentioned two sets of grandparents and an aunt his mom's sister he'd said. That meant that, no it couldn't be he was going to marry Lana Lang. But he knew that Lana's parents were dead and she had no sister. Maybe Sam was speaking figuratively, he could mean Nell and her new husband when he said Grandparents and he could mean Chloe when he said his Mom's sister, since they were good friends, yes that was it. But deep down he knew it wasn't.

At dinner Clark couldn't eat, he kept thinking about Sam and who his mother was. He knew he shouldn't, but he was curious. It had to be Lana, it had to be, and he couldn't see himself loving anyone but her. He needed to know and Sam would tell him, he'd get him to talk about his mom and tell him who she was.

Martha and Jonathan had waited for Sam to go to bed before talking to Clark. They where both concerned, something was bothering him and they wanted to know what.

"Clark, son, are you okay?" asked Jonathan

"Yeah"

"Are you sure honey? You seemed preoccupied at dinner" said Martha

"It's nothing, really" said Clark

"Son we know something's bothering you, it helps to talk about it"

"Dad, I'm fine."

"Does this have something to do with what was said between you and Sam earlier today?" asked Martha. She realized she hit dead on, when Clark looked at her and then looked up towards the stairs. So it was about Sam she thought.

"Son, your mother told what happened, what happened between you and Sam, that has you upset?" asked Jonathan

"Nothing, we just talked."

"Talked about what?" asked Jonathan

"His relationship with future me"

"Is that what as you upset, what did he say?" asked Jonathan

"No, it's fine."

"What aren't you telling us Clark?" asked Martha

Clark looked at his parents, they wouldn't understand. He just wasn't ready to face the possibility that it would never happen for him and Lana. He couldn't, he had to have hope that it would.

"Clark, what else was said?" asked Jonathan

"His mom, he mentioned his mom"

"What about her?" asked Martha, thinking she knew where this was headed. It had not slipped past her that her son was in love with Lana and therefore believed she was Sam's mother. But Martha didn't think so, Sam had met Lana a couple of days ago and he'd seemed unfazed. Although Sam resembled Clark there was nothing closely resembling Lana, not even attitude or anything like that. Sam was a lot like Clark in looks and attitude but he tended to be bull headed and sarcastic. Two things her son wasn't, and she couldn't help but think that Sam got that from his mother.

"Clark, what did Sam say about his mother that as you so down?"

"Dad, he…." started Clark but couldn't finish.

"He what?" asked Jonathan

"I love Lana and I'm going to marry her, no matter what" said Clark

"Son, we know you love Lana and want a future with her, but what did Sam say?" asked Jonathan

"He said some things about his mom that well doesn't add up to Lana. How can that be? I love her, I'm not going to forget her and marry someone else."

"Clark, listen honey, right know your whole world revolves around Lana, but you're in high school. You're a teenage boy, who knows what is going to happen five months from now, let alone five years. Maybe Lana is or isn't Sam's mother, but the idea that there is someone out there that you will love and trust completely with who you are, should make you realize that things are going to work out for you" said Martha.

"I know mom, but it's hard to accept that maybe Lana isn't the one for me. I just can't imagine ever loving someone else like I love Lana."

"Son, things happen for a reason and only time will tell if you and Lana Lang are meant to be" said Jonathan

Later that night Clark was lying in bed thinking about everything. He understood what his parents where saying, he understood, but he needed to know. He needed a plan to get Sam to talk about his mother or at least slip more information about her. Tomorrow he'd take him to the talon with him; his friends could help interrogate him. He would find out who Sam's mother was, no matter what he had to do.

...well, it looks like Clark isn't giving up...will he get Sam to talk?...who knows...

...tell me what you think...thanks...
