Chapter 10
Chloe had found the dress she had wanted before and she had gotten it fitted. Chloe had told Lana all that had happened with Sandy and everything. Lana hadn't known that Sandy was trying to break up Lex and Chloe she had wanted Lex and Chloe to be happy and the only way that was going to happen was if they got together. Chloe was excited for the wedding every thing had been set and they had just finished the wedding rehearsal and the dinner then Chloe had told Lex goodbye. She was going to stay with Lana for the night because it was the traditional thing to do. She was lying on Lana's extra bed and she missed Lex his warm hands that were always wrapped around her body she missed him. She couldn't wait until tomorrow when she would become Mrs. Alexander Luthor. She was excited to become Lex's wife finally after all these years of waiting. Lana had already fallen asleep. Chloe kept trying to but sleep didn't come not until one in the morning and then she woke up at seven to go and get her hair done with Lana.
Lex got his suit on and was waiting for Clark to come pick him up and go to the church. Lex was doing up his tie when Clark walked into the room. Clark was glad that Lex finally got the girl that he had fallen for.
"You ready Lex?" Clark's voice chimed through the study.
"Almost just let me finish doing up this tie." Lex said as he redid his tie his hands were shaking he was way to excited he was glad that this was finally happening he had their honeymoon all planned he was going to take her to Italy she had always wanted to go there and he had made sure with the doctor that it wouldn't harm the baby. The only thing the doctor had said not to do was for either of them to drink anything that could harm the baby so no beer and no champagne would be allowed until the baby was born.
"Are you nervous?" Clark questioned Lex seeing his hands shaking he never thought that his friend would show his emotions the way he was now.
"No I am just excited I have waited a long time for this to happen." Lex remembered all the years he had spent with Chloe and now he was finally going to have the wife he had always dreamed of having.
"Your tie looks fine now, so let's go Lex you don't want to be late." Clark was trying to encourage Lex to get going it was almost time for everything to start.
"Alright I'm coming." Lex said as he got up and followed Clark out to his car. Then they were off to the church.
When Lex got there he was met by Lana who told him that Chloe was getting ready and that he should go wait on the church steps because everything was going to be starting soon. Lex couldn't believe that this was really happening. Lex went and stood at his spot and Clark sat in a church pew and so did Lana. Gabe was back with Chloe waiting for her to get ready. Then the music started playing and Chloe stood in the doorway next to Gabe in her beautiful wedding dress it was low cut in the front and had a beautiful design on it. Lex was memorized by Chloe she walked up to the priest and Lex and Gabe and Chloe stopped right before the steps.
"Who gives this woman away to this man?" The pastor asked
"I do." Gabe said boldly even though he had tears streaming down his cheeks he hugged Chloe then he took a seat in a pew. Chloe walked up to Lex taking his hand and smiled at him. They had both made their own vows and Lex was to start first.
"I, Lex, choose you, Chloe, as my everything. I vow to love you through sickness and health, through the good and the bad, through richer and poorer. You are everything I need, and at this moment I know that all my prayers have been answered and that all of my dreams have come true. This is the moment I have waited my whole life for. I promise to give you my all and I know that I could not ask for more from you. I love you and always will. This is my solemn vow." Lex had thought for hours about what he had wanted to say and this is what he had come up with he saw that Chloe loved what she said because she was crying.
"From this moment, I, Chloe, take you, Lex, as my best friend for life. I pledge to honor, encourage, and support you through our walk together. When our way becomes difficult, I promise to stand by you and uplift you, so that through our union we can accomplish more than we could alone. I promise to work at our love and always make you a priority in my life. With every beat of my heart, I will love you. This is my solemn vow." Chloe had also thought for ever of what to say to Lex and she figured that this was the best way to get out what she was feeling. Lex had tears in his eyes after she was done talking they were both looking at each other with lust in their eyes.
The pastor broke through their silent stare. "Do you Lex take Chloe to be your wife? If so please say I do."
"I do." Lex said tears were still in his eyes soon Chloe would truly be his for the rest of his life he hoped.
"Do you Chloe take Lex to be your husband? If so please say I do."
"I do." Chloe said without hesitation as she stared at Lex with love in her eyes. Finally Lex would be her husband and they would share a great life together.
"Now by the power given unto me as a minister of the gospel and by the laws of this state; I now pronounce that you are husband and wife! You may kiss your bride!"
Lex kissed Chloe with all the passion he had for her and she kissed him back with all the love she had for him. Then they broke apart and let the minister finish.
"I am proud to present to you for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Luthor." The minister smiled as three people cheered joyfully. Chloe still hadn't really met Clark and she hoped now she would have a chance to. Lex and Chloe walked hand in hand out of the church where everyone was waiting Gabe was taking pictures making them all stand together. Then Lex introduced Chloe to Clark.
"I am glad I finally have the pleasure of meeting you Chloe. Lex has told me a lot about you and when you to got back together I was thrilled I saw how much it hurt him not being with you. I wish you both happiness and I hope that you two will be together for the rest of your lives." Clark smiled at Chloe and Lex, he had finally saw how much Lex loved Chloe and how much she loved him.
"Thank you Clark and it was a pleasure meeting you to when we get back I hope you will come over to the mansion so we can talk more." Chloe told Clark she knew that at any moment the limo was going to come to pick them up for their honeymoon.
"Of course I will come over it will be nice talking to you again." Clark told her then Chloe went over to go talk to Lana. Clark smiled at Lex "You are one lucky man you know that?"
"Yeah I know, I hate to cut this short Clark but the limo is here. Thank you for coming." Lex told Clark then he went off next to Chloe.
Gabe hugged Lex he saw how much Chloe and Lex loved each other and now he wasn't going to be the one to stand in the way. "Take good care of my daughter."
"You know I will Gabe."
"I know and Chloe you better keep my new son in line and you can tell him that he no longer needs to call me by first name dad is just fine." Gabe said smiling at Lex
"Of course I will dad." Chloe told Gabe as she hugged him.
"Thanks for coming dad." Lex said it was nice calling Gabe that and now he knew that he finally had a dad who cared about him.
"No problem now you two kids go." Gabe told them as the limo driver beeped for them to hurry up.
Lex and Chloe said goodbye to Lana then they got into the limo and left. Lex gave Chloe a glass that was filled with grape juice instead of wine. She was surprised when she drank it expecting wine.
"Aren't we going to have wine?" Chloe asked him surprisingly
"No, we are not going to have any alcohol. I'm trying to quit drinking." Lex was trying to quit drinking so much alcohol but he was lying some because he didn't want Chloe harming the baby.
"Okay when did you decide this?" Chloe asked him not realizing that he was trying to quit.
"A few days ago. So no more alcohol okay?" Lex asked making sure Chloe wouldn't have anything to drink but he knew she wasn't a big drinker anyway.
"Okay Lex it's not like a drink a lot anyway." Chloe told him she still thought it was weird that Lex had just up and decided he wasn't going to have anything more to drink.
"I know." Lex answered.
In Italy Chloe and Lex were having the time of their lives. The first night when they fell asleep in each other's arms. Chloe remembered what Lex had told her.
"Goodnight Chloe Luthor my wife." She had smiled and had told him.
"Goodnight Lex Luthor my husband."
Lex and Chloe were so happy and Lex couldn't wait for Chloe to find out that she was pregnant. He knew she wouldn't find out for another month or so. Chloe had been getting morning sickness a lot though she would run into the bathroom and Lex would go after her pulling her hair away from her face while she heaved up everything in her stomach. Other than that Chloe was having a great time. She didn't think that she could love Lex anymore than she had before but just being married to him made her feel like she loved him more every day. She stayed close to him, she was always afraid that something would happen to him. On their last day Chloe started to get sicker she couldn't keep anything down so Lex gave her some pills that he knew would help. He had snuck out and bought morning sickness pills and then he gave them to her without showing her the bottle. Chloe decided that she was going to go see the doctor when she got back to Smallville. They headed back that night and were back at the mansion early in the morning. Lex had to go back to work and he didn't know that Chloe was planning on going to the doctors. They feel asleep as soon as they hit the bed and when Chloe woke up in the morning Lex was already gone he had wrote her a note and it said that he would call her later and that he loved her. Chloe got dressed and then she drove to the doctors. She told the doctor all of the symptoms she was having. When she found out that she was pregnant her heart dropped things were great and now it seemed like at any minute her life would just fall apart. Chloe went back to the mansion and she laid on the bed and just cried remembering how good it felt to carry a new life but the pain she had felt when she had lost it.
Lex had come home and he was looking everywhere for Chloe he had called her but she hadn't answered his guard told him that Chloe was indeed in the mansion. He went up to their bedroom and opened the door and he found his distressed wife lying on the bed. He laid down next to Chloe pulling her close to him not sure what had upset her. He just stroked her face and waited for her to tell him what was wrong. She didn't talk to him though she just had her head buried in his chest.
"Chloe, baby tell me what's wrong." Lex told her gently
"Don't say baby Lex please." Chloe's voice was muffled because she was talking into Lex's shirt.
Lex took her head from his chest. "Why Chloe what's wrong?" Lex stroked Chloe's cheek wiping the tears from her eyes.
"I'm pregnant." Chloe said sadly she didn't want this to ruin their marriage the one that they had just started.
"Chloe isn't that a good thing?" Lex didn't understand he thought that now that they were married things would be better.
"No Lex I can't stand it if I lose this baby to." Chloe eyes were so sad she was afraid of losing her child she couldn't do this to herself not again.
"You won't Chloe you won't lose this baby I am going to make sure of it every week we will get a check up on the baby. We will be more careful this time it won't happen again Chloe everything will be okay I promise. But if you stress yourself out over this you could harm yourself or the baby. Just go on and pretend that this hasn't happened just eat differently and otherwise forget about it don't worry. I am going to do everything in my power to make sure this baby doesn't get hurt." Lex hadn't wanted her to find out this yet but now that she did he had to protect them nothing would happen this time he would make sure of it.
