Chapter 11

Chloe tried to go on like nothing had happened. But it was hard to ignore the morning sickness and everything else that went on with pregnancy. Lana, Clark, and Gabe knew about Chloe being pregnant to and they were all supportive. Chloe and Lex went to check up on the baby once a week and it made Chloe feel better but most of the time she stayed awake at night. She was still worried that she would miscarry just like she had the night she lost their first baby. She tried to put it behind her but she was still worried. She didn't think that she could get over the worry until after five months even then the worry would still be there. Chloe was now three months pregnant. She was standing in front of the mirror in the bedroom starring at her now plump belly she was happy that the baby was getting bigger. The thought of losing another child pained her though she knew she should just listen to Lex and try to forget what happened last time but it was hard. She smiled when she saw Lex come over and wrap his arms around her holding her stomach.

"Nothing is going to happen I promise." Lex told her knowing she was worrying again. Gabe was helping to he would come over from time to time and let Chloe know that this time things would be different.

"I know, I know." Chloe told him gently she was happy that Lex was trying to make her feel better but she was getting tired of hearing the same things over and over again.

"I just want you to know if you ever get to nervous about this you can talk to me. You can even interrupt my meetings if you want to." Lex smiled when he said the last part he was always telling Chloe how boring his meetings were. She laughed at him knowing he wanted to have an excuse to leave meetings.

"You just tell me when you have your meetings and I will be sure to call you." Chloe turned in his arms and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "So what are we doing today?"

"No idea maybe we will just relax for awhile. Spend some time together as long as no one is going to stop by. Our time together usually turns up as rated R." Lex smiled crookedly at Chloe knowing that they were always doing different things when they knew no one was going to be around.

"We should go make sure that no one is going to come by then." Chloe smirked at him and then took off down the stairs Lex took after her. Chloe ran into the study and Lex tackled her on the couch tickling her making her laugh, he hadn't heard her laugh in awhile and it made him feel good. All the sudden someone knocked on the door.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything serious." Lionel stated as he stared at Lex and Chloe.

Lex moved off of Chloe and moved toward his father. "Dad, what are you doing here?" Lex was surprised to see his father ever since he had told him off when he had first started dating Chloe he had never seen his father since then. It was nice not to see his dad.

"I just wanted to know why I was invited to my own son's wedding." Lionel stated in a cold tone he had found out after Lex and Chloe were married that he had a new daughter-in-law.

"Well last I knew Dad we weren't speaking. And you didn't seem to like the fact that I was dating Chloe. I didn't think you would've liked to come." Lex told his dad with a smirk. He had hoped that he would never have to see his father again after what he had called Chloe that had pissed him right off.

"You never tried to make contact to me son. I would've come even if I don't like you and Miss. Sullivan oh forgive me I mean Mrs. Luthor together. I would've thought you would pick someone better to be by your side, then that piece of trailer trash that you now call your wife." Lionel smirked at Chloe he had despised her ever since he found out Lex was dating her. She was nothing compared to some of the women Lex had been with.

Chloe was pissed now she went over to Lionel and glared at him. How dare he call her trailer trash. Lex came over to Chloe and he put his arms around her he whispered something in her ear and in an instant she was turning and heading for the stairs. "This is our fight dad leave her out of it." Lex told Lionel sternly.

"Well I will be glad to be a grand father, when is she due?" He asked with a sarcastic tone.

"That is none of your business. Why are you really here dad?" Lex raised his eyebrows he wished he hadn't gotten rid of his bar he really needed a drink right now.

"Well I hope she will have better luck with this baby. Otherwise you are going to lose her. And as for what I am doing here Lex I came here to tell you that you should get rid of that girl right now. There are plenty of other women who can keep you happy other than that child that you have picked out." Lionel stated looking for the bar he wanted a drink, but he noticed Lex had taken it out.

"Chloe is not a child dad and she happens to make me happy. Chloe will never leave me again dad the reason she left last time was simply a misunderstanding we could have of worked through it had we both done something different." Lex was getting annoyed but he didn't show his father that.

"If she loses that child Lex she will be out of here faster than you can say miscarry." Lionel laughed at his so called joke he smirked at Lex.

"Get out dad, and if you do anything to hurt Chloe or that baby you won't be alive for much longer! Stay the hell out of my life you are not my father anymore and you are not welcome here!" Lex screamed at Lionel and he watched as his father turned to leave but then just before the doorway he turned and smiled at Lex.

"You may not want to call me dad anymore Lex but remember who's blood runs through you and who's blood runs through the embryo in my so called daughter-in-law." Lionel told Lex then he left.

"What is that supposed to mean!" Lex yelled down the hallway at his father.

"You will find out soon enough Lex." Lionel said over his shoulder then he left.

Lex wasn't about to take any chances he called his security to not let Chloe out of their site and he called a few people to keep their eye on his father. He wasn't about to let his dad do anything and security was going to get a lot stronger now. Lex then went up to the bedroom and found Chloe in the bathroom throwing up. He got out a wash cloth and washed her face clean.

"What did he want besides to tell you that he despises me?" Chloe asked Lex she knew Lionel had hated her since the day she and Lex started going out. She knew that he thought that Lex could have picked someone better to be by his side than her.

"Chloe don't worry about what my father thinks of you his opinion on things has been expired for years now. I can plan my own life and that is what he hates the most. He despises me but takes it out on you. I picked you because I love you because you complete me. He isn't my father anymore and he isn't the ruler of my life." Lex hadn't wanted Chloe to believe that she was nothing to him because she was his everything.

"I know Lex I have learned not to take what your father says to heart for awhile now." Chloe remembered the day that Lionel had confronted her when Lex wasn't home he had pushed her buttons and made her annoyed.

"Why you have never had a conversation with my father except with me there and I made sure you were always gone before he started telling you off to." Lex couldn't remember when Lionel had talked to Chloe without him present.

"He did talk to me once when you weren't here before." Chloe trailed off ashamed that she hadn't told Lex this before now.

"When? And why didn't you tell me?" Lex questioned her usually they were honest with each other.

"When I was pregnant before now I think I was about four months. He told me that I should leave you that I wasn't good enough to be the mother of our child. He told me that I wouldn't fit into your life style." Chloe looked down at her feet still ashamed that she had never told him before. "I never told you because I didn't think it was important."

"What else did he say about the baby Chloe?" Lex was beginning to think that bringing up their child hadn't just been a one time thing.

"He told me that if I ever lost it you wouldn't care and I would find myself hitting the streets faster than I could say miscarry. He told me the only reason you kept me around was because I was carrying your child." Chloe remembered everything Lionel had told her and she didn't think she had to worry because Lex was always there to protect her. She just thought that Lionel was trying to scare her.

"Chloe I want you to stay clear of my father. If you see anyone following you that you don't know you call me." Lex was worried now and Chloe saw it there was worry written all over his face.

"I'm sorry I never told you I just thought he was trying to scare me. Do you think he is going to do something to me?" Chloe was getting nervous now she didn't want anything to happen.

"I don't know Chloe just watch your back and don't worry I have everything under control." Lex wrapped his arms around Chloe holding her tight. 'Dad if you did anything to our first child you are dead.' Lex thought his dad was going to get a hold of this baby.

"I trust you Lex." Chloe told him into his chest. She was still scared what if Lionel had done something to hurt their first child, would he do the same thing to this one? Maybe then she wouldn't have to worry so much knowing the man that had hurt her first child wouldn't be allowed to touch her.

"You should go see your dad tomorrow it has been a week since you have seen him and I have a meeting tomorrow." Lex was afraid to leave her in the mansion alone especially now. He was going to find out if his father had anything to do with the baby's death and if he did, Lex didn't know what he was going to do to him.

"Lex I went to see my dad yesterday, I can stay in the mansion by myself I will make sure Lionel won't come near me plus now you have the security so tight and you probably told them not to let him in." Chloe knew how Lex was with his father and she wanted to stay in the mansion alone because she hadn't had a day by herself since she moved into the mansion.

"I know but you know how I am very protective over the ones I love. I'm so afraid of losing you Chloe and I'm afraid for the baby." Lex put his hand on Chloe's stomach and he stared into her eyes. He wasn't about to lose her again because then he knew she would never come back.

"I know how you are Lex but one day alone for a few hours isn't going to kill me." Chloe knew that Lex was only the way he was because he had wanted his mom to live and he couldn't do anything to prevent her from dying. He knew he could prevent something happening to her or the baby and he wanted to make sure he did everything he possible could to protect them.

"Alright I will try not to worry all day." Lex kissed her and smiled.

"I'm tired Lex I think I am going to take a nap." Chloe looked at him she was always tired lately.

"Alright get some rest I have some work to do so I will be in the office." Lex kissed her again and then helped her under the covers he went off into his office closing the door behind him.
