Chapter nine
Clark walks into the house carrying grocery bags. He setting the bags on the kitchen counter he quickly puts them away then walks over to the bread box slides open the door and notices the cake tray is empty.
Lo
In the bedroom Smallville.
He makes his way upstairs.
Lo did the kids eat... He stopped in the middle the sentence as he noticed his wife, laying back on the bed in a thin robe hanging open wearing just panties. Work files sprawled about the bed forgotten as she sits there eating chocolate cake and talking to the baby he composes himself as he listens and observes for a moment before continuing.
Chocolate cake...?
She looks upwards the door and see him a plate in front of her, a huge hunk of chocolate cake on it and bite ready to go into her mouth. (Smiles)
You mean this chocolate cake?
Lo there are two big pieces, one of them was mine.
Lois takes a bite, a little piece of icing sticks to the side of her mouth.
It's good... Smallville
I bet Gimme some of that cake.
She takes another bite.
Sorry no can do the baby wanted cake.
He tries to get a piece off the plate but she holds it out where he can't reach it.
Sorry, Smallvile. It's for the baby it needs it
They stare each other down a moment. Then...
He jumps towards the bed. She jumps out of bed, running out of the room with the cake, laughing... Clark takes off after her...chasing her through the apartment's upper level... She darts back into the bedroom again, only seconds later she found lying on the bed he on top of her the cake smash in between them he's laughing face covered in chocolate.
Tastes good, huh Smallville?
She did some are seductive smile, easing the space between them she sees her body covered in chocolate also his as well their eyes locked both see the passion deep within their lips meet in the chocolate covered kisses both moaning in pleasure: away from each other's lips just for a moment.
Well,Smallville so much for the chocolate cake now it's a chocolate Lois covered cake.
You know how much I love Lois chocolate covered desert cake.
Their lips fused together again in a passionate kiss lost in each other as they continued to devour one another soon the heat became too much and all that was heard were soft moans and the creaking of the bed as they both enjoyed their most favorite of desserts each other. C
ollapsing on the bed covered in sweat she snuggled on top of his chest with him still embedded inside her their lovemaking sessions on the farm for hours yet each and every time felt like the first time and for the first time in 12 years Lois lane Kent was home and happy.
Gasping she felt a flutter
Smallville the baby kick.
She sits upright on top of him he places hand on her stomach and wait several seconds and feels a little flutter their eyes locked smiling brightly and lovingly for they were two people truly had everything their hearts desire.
Amazing lo even after all these years I don't think I'll ever get over the feel of these little flutters
Who says you have to Smallville.
He looks at her puzzle for second on clay understanding what she means by that statement
I've been thinking that we just have a houseful of babies
He chuckles lo sweetheart what about the planet are extracurricular jobs?
Smallville the plant will always be there and are extracurricular jobs the same so what you say
He smiles at her low you say this every time you're pregnant and
I know how much you love being pregnant especially when it's our child yet given all that we do the planet the extracurricular (JL) do you really think we can do it all
Smallville I know you give me the same speech each and every time we are both so busy with the planet and the extracurricular (JL) we do for the world yes, there are times when it seems overwhelming yet we are a great team I know we can do it together we always do so what you say smallville we keep making lane Kent babies?
He looks into her eyes and sees the love and passion for her and why he loves her so much he can tell the seriousness behind her eyes for this time she really meant it and there is nothing in this world or in this universe he would ever denied her she was his heart as he was hers so what is the man of steel to do?
Aye sailor.
Kent HOUSE FOYER – 5 day LATER
The front door opens and Lois walks in with Shelby on a leash, she returned from Metro Park, help setting for the Christmas performance later that evening she had come to discover she was neighborhood events coordinator she also found how much she enjoyed the new domestic bliss could be so pleasing.
Patting Shelby, on the head, then takes off her coat, hanging it and the leash on a hook by the door... The kids were off playing with neighbor kids in the other building two blocks away she didn't have to pick them up until 5:00pm for the performance in the park with the neighbor kids until 7:00 PM walking through the quiet house, into the living room, taking some time to relax rubbing her hands together to warm them up.
strolls through the room, looking at some of the family photos hanging on the wall, she moves to a book shelve of DVDs, marked with titles like, "Trip to Rome, '06" and "C.J's 1st Birthday and" Ellie's first Birthday running her fingers along the list of family movies she stops at one marked, "Clark Singing." Her eyes linger there a moment...pops the DVD in the player...
It's a party for her thrown at the Kent farmhouse...same crowd of people as the Christmas party, cheesy "Happy Birthday" decorations.
The image jerks up and down, surveying the crowd...Bruce Wayne at the piano, playing some light cocktail music ... Who knew she talking with a group of friends...
(Oliver (O.S.)
Wow Jim, what's with the antique? Does it even have image stabilization?
Bruce stops playing and looks up at Oliver
Oliver that thing is a classic the first DVD recorder it's nice to see jimmy respect classic technology and besides it gets the job done right Jim. Jimmy nodding from behind the camera
Clark comes into frame, a confident smile on his face everyone knows image stabilization is for the weak...he smiles as she walks into frame, easily putting an arm around him...
So CK, it's your wife's birthday, got anything to say to her?
It's your birthday?
Smallville.
Wait a minute. You're my wife?
Slaps him playfully on the arm... he takes her hand guiding her through the crowed of family and friends to a picnic table were there's a big cake happy 22nd everyone cheers as they kiss.
I do have one thing I want to say...
She looks at him expectantly leaving camera for a moment. Then...
Clark (Playing guitar Singing
(Bruce at the piano)
Clark :Every time our eyes meet Baby, when you touch me I've never been this close to anyone or anything I don't know how you do what you do I wanna spend the rest of my life Every little thing that you do

Forever and ever
Baby, I'm amazed by you
Lois is sitting there hearing his voice and is amazed at how good a singer he is not a professional by any means but that doesn't matter hearing his words and seeing herself on screening and the love she saw between the two of them she knew, listening as he continued hearing the piano in the background
Clark (CONT'D)
The smell of your skin Your hair all around me Oh, it feels like the first time every time I don't know how you do what you do I wanna spend the rest of my life Every little thing that you do Every little thing that you do I wanna spend the rest of my life Every little thing that you do
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Baby, you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes

It just keeps getting better
With you by my side
Forever and ever

Clark (speaking quietly to her)
Happy Birthday sweetheart...I love you.
Lois leans over, giving Clark a deep kiss...OOHS and AHHS from the crowd... Clark and Lois are in their own little world...she continues to watch them both on the video, her smile fades, a look of realization...then loss...tears at the corner of her eye...The sound fades in Lois' head as the action in the video continues...until there's...silence...
