Day 761: Welcome to the world.
Nearly a year after their marriage, Lois Queen, as she was now, felt something very strange happening and she felt wet. She was nine months pregnant and she and Chloe were spending the day in Metropolis. Lois looked to her cousin and whispered, "Chlo, my water's broken."
Her cousin's face turned from one of horror then of excitement. Lois and Oliver had deliberately not discovered which sex their baby was, as they wanted to have a surprise.
As soon as Lois and Chloe arrived at Metropolis General Hospital, and Lois was in a room, Chloe grabbed her phone and called Clark. Within a second, he appeared and asked her what was wrong. "You need to find Oliver; Lois is giving birth." Clark nodded and agreed, but bent down and kissed her, before whooshing out of the hospital. Chloe smiled to herself; she and Clark had been dating since Oliver and Lois had been married and they had fallen deeply in love; Clark had realised that what he had done whilst under the influence of Red K had been as a result of his true feelings for Chloe, feeling which he had never really admitted.
Chloe went back to Lois's room and asked Dr. Emil how her cousin was. The doctor replied that she and the baby were going to be fine, but that the actual birth may take some time. "Have you found Ollie?" Lois asked, as Chloe sat down on her bed.
"No, but Clark's out looking for him now. He'll find him," she held her cousin's hand. "I called your dad and Lucy as well and they're on their way. I can't believe that we're here Lois, with you having a baby, Oliver Queen's baby."
Closing her eyes, Lois smiled and whispered, "When Ollie and I were first together, I wouldn't let myself think about this moment-me having his baby. I mean. What about you and Clark, Chlo, do you think that you'll be in this situation soon?"
Chloe chuckled. "Yes, but not for many years. Clark and I have talked about it and we agreed that we'll have kids after we're married and one of them's going to be named after Clark's dad." She smiled sadly, remembering the kind Johnathan Kent. "and a girl will be named after my mum or his biological mother. Have you and Oliver come up with names?"
"Yeah. If it's a boy, Isaac, after Ollie's dad and, if it's a girl, either Ellen, after my mum, or Esther, after his mum." Lois smiled at the thoughts of her babies. Her thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of her husband and Clark. The former was by her side. He kissed her and held her hands. "I love you, Lois." He whispered.
Lois kissed him back and replied, in the same tone, "I love you, too."
Clark turned to Chloe and cleared his throat, causing Chloe to stand up and look at him. "Chloe, there's something that I need to talk to you about." He looked nervous.
"What is it?" Chloe asked, feeling nervous, because her boyfriend was nervous.
Inhaling a deep breath, Clark began, "Chloe, I love you. When we were teenagers, I was so in awe of Lana and so blind. You were right in front of me and I never noticed you. I never want to feel like that again, as if I've missed my chance. I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He glanced at Oliver and Lois who were watching and they both gave him smiles of encouragement, so he bent down on the floor and retrieved a ring from his pocket. "Chloe Anne Sullivan, will you marry me?"
With tears in her eyes, Chloe sat down on the stone cold floor in front of him and recited a part of her letter to him. "I'll let you go for now, hoping that one day you'll fly back to me, because I think you're worth the wait. You were, Clark. I would wait a thousand years for you." They kissed passionately, then she added, "And the answer's yes, if you're wondering." They laughed and Clark slipped the ring on her finger. They kissed again, then Chloe ran over to her cousin and hugged her and Clark hugged Oliver and thanked him for helping him to pick out the ring.
An hour later, Lois was holding a baby in her arms and Oliver was sitting beside her, with his arms around his wife and child. Chloe and Clark left the room, as they thought it best to give the new family some privacy.
"Hello, Isaac Samuel Queen." Lois whispered, with tears in her eyes. Slowly, she passed him to Oliver and he smiled down at his son. Tears began to form in Oliver's eyes and he mused to the baby, "Your grandparents would be so happy that you're here." Lois knew that he was referring to his parents and to her mum.
Oliver put Isaac back in his wife's arms and bent down, so that their faces were level. "Thank you, Lois, for not giving up on me. I love you."
"I love you, too." Lois smiled, closed her eyes and kissed her husband, with their baby in her arms.
