Poor excuse, I know, but I tried my hardest to get this chapter to you as fast as I can :) And also I'm sorry if I confused anyone but this story is set during season 7, apparently I need to take a 10 minute break and learn to count. Thank you Cathy03 for pointing that out to me :) So here it is, the newest chapter, I hope you all enjoy it :) Til next time!
Present Time
Clark was beside himself. He didn't know what he could do. It had been a day since Lois had been pushed into the portal by Lyana and Clark had wasted no time in trying to get her back. As soon as Lois had been pushed in, Lyana had given him a very cryptic remark about time healing all wounds and that he would come around to her way of thinking. Then, as quickly as she had appeared, she had disappeared. Even by his standards she was fast. He figured that had something to do with her mental powered she had mentioned. Once Lyana had disappeared Clark had flown as fast as he could to the fortress to seek guidance from Jor-el. Who had said it may take a few days to gather the information on Lyana as, much of the old religion had been replaced by science in the years before Krypton was destroyed. Clark implored Jor-el to work at his fastest then went to gather help from others. That's how the Kent home came to be filled with dozens of hero's, trying their best to find a lead to help Clark track down his new enemy.
"How you holding up Clark?"
Clark was pulled out of his thoughts by the sound of his best friend's voice. Turning around face Chloe Clark did his best to smile.
"I'm going out of my head Chloe." He replied honestly and led Chloe to the front porch. "Part of me just wants to tear up the world and look for Lyana and Lois. The other wants to just blow things up."
Chloe gave a disapproving look and gave Clark a smack on the arm, "I think you're alittle to mature for that Clark."
"I don't know what to do Chloe." Clark said barely above a whisper. "I couldn't protect them Chloe. What if I've lost them both?"
Chloe looked at her childhood friend and couldn't help the tears that came to her eyes. Lois was the one thing that Clark truly loved, him and the baby, and for them to be torn away from him was plain cruel. If anyone deserved happiness it was Clark.
"You've gotta stay strong Clark. Lois would want that." Chloe said reassuring ling and hugged Clark. "You have some of the greatest minds in the other room helping you. Hell, even Dianh and Oliver are working together without bickering." She joked and saw a small smile appear on Clark's face. "Now, I know I'm no Lois, but let me say this. Buck up Smallville! We have work to do."
Clark laughed and hugged his best friend. "You're too gentle to be Lois. But thank you." He didn't care how long it took. Clark was going to get Lois and his baby back. He just prayed that they were somewhere safe.
Past Time
Lois hadn't slept well that night. She would drift off for a few hours then would have a nightmare of both Clark and the baby being taken away from her and would wake up screaming. A few times Clark had even run in to make sure she was okay. Everytime, however, she would nod and tell him that it was just a dream and then when he was gone she would cry into her pillow. Lois hated being away from her Clark, she hated the thought that she would never get home and that her baby would grow up without a father. What made it worse though, was that she was forced to be stuck in a time where Clark didn't love her. This early on he didn't even trust her with his secret. So she was forced to watch the Clark and Lana rollercoaster play out and watch them act so blissfully in love.
By the time the sun rose Lois had worked out that she had only had a total of 4 hours sleep. Something she was not used to at all. Sighing Lois got up and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. It was moments like these that Lois could believe that she was back in her own time and that this was just a regular morning before work. Taking off her clothes Lois looked in the mirror at her pregnant body, something she'd done every morning since she found out she was pregnant.
"You miss your daddy don't you." Lois said as she rubbed her stomach. An action that often relaxed her. It was nearing her 6th month of pregnancy and she was expecting the baby to start kicking any day now.
"But don't you worry. He's gonna come for us. And as a reward why don't you give us a kick? A nice big first one for daddy." She said wistfully.
Lois was so deep in her thoughts that she hadn't heard the door open.
Clark hadn't been used to other people using the bathroom in the mornings, especially after Lois had moved out. So to say that he was shocked when he opened the door to the bathroom to find a very naked and very pregnant Lois looking at herself in the mirror was an understatement.
"Oh…ahhh…Lois…I should…yeah." Clark said nervously, alerting Lois to his presence.
"Oh my God Clark! Lois screamed and tried to grab a towel but couldn't quite reach down far enough. "Get the hell out of here!" She screamed louder when she saw that she wasn't moving. Clark couldn't stop looking at Lois. Sure he'd knew that she was attractive, he'd be an idiot not to, but he never thought she would look this good, even pregnant.
"Clark! Get outta here before I get my hands on some kryptonite!" Lois screamed once more and was rewarded with Clark slamming the door behind him.
Clark raced down the stairs and into the kitchen as fast as he could. He didn't want to know if Lois was bluffing or not.
"You alright Clark, you look like you've seen a ghost." Lana asked as she got up from her seat in the kitchen and handed Clark a coffee. Clark refused to say anything and instead took a large sip of his coffee.
"Get a long enough look smallville." Lois said bitterly as she walked down the stairs. She looked over at Lana and saw that she looked down right confused. Lois could have sworn that's he saw Clark blushing.
"It's not like that Lois." Said Clark desperately as he tried to defend himself.
"You didn't even get to see me at my best. No the one time you get a peak and I'm as large as a whale." She seethed and was deep down kinda sad that Clark would probably remember this about her.
"It really wasn't that bad. You looked pretty good for someone in your condition." Clark said, hoping she'd take it as a compliment. Cause in his book, she looked better than good. He didn't know why, but something about her being pregnant just made Lois all the more beautiful.
Lois smiled and rubbed her belly happily, though she had to remind herself that this was not her Clark, "I'll take that as a compliment smallville."
"What am I missing?" Lana asked taking a sip from her coffee.
"Nothing." Both Clark and Lois replied far too quickly, earning a disbelieving look from Lana. Feeling an awkward moment coming Lois cleared her throat and looked over at Clark.
"So smallville." Lois began, "Mind if we head on over to see ice daddy today?" She asked and noticed the way Clark looked at her."
"Inside joke." Lois continued, "Cause no offense, but the sooner I get home the better. This sailor is feeling kinda homesick."
Clark looked over to Lana and she gave him a smile and slight shrug, her sign that she was okay with him skipping out on her.
"Okay if you'd like. Are you going to be right to travel?" He asked and saw Lois smile.
"Well it's not the mode of transportation I'm used to." She said referring to Clarks ability to fly, "But I think I can deal."
"Okay then. Let's go." Clark said and before Lana could even blink both Clark and Lois were gone.
Seconds later Lois was placed on the ground in the fortress.
"You alright Lo?" Clark asked and was surprised at the nickname he had just called her. Lo? Why did I just call her Lo? And why is she looking sad all of a sudden?
Lois felt her heart painfully constrict at the name that Clark would lovingly call her. Of course, there was no love behind it this time. Not yet anyway. But it still made Lois sad.
"Yeah. I'm fine, just kinda dizzy." She lied and walked away from Clark into the centre of the fortress.
"Jor-el? It's Lois Lane." Lois waited for a response and was frustrated when she received none.
"Jor-el! It's an emergency!" she shouted and looked around for some short of sign, "I know you can hear me Jor-el!" Lois yelled louder and was surprised when the fortress began to shake. "Well this is new!" Lois said and almost fell over, only to be caught by Clark.
Clark looked down at Lois and found himself staring into her eyes, for some reason he could see all the sadness behind them, Why am I noticing all these little things about Lois all of a sudden, urgh this is just to much for one day.
"Kal-el my son you have returned." Jor-el's voice boomed, making Lois jump slightly. Clark placed Lois back onto her feet and then spoke to Jor-el.
"Jor-el we need your help with something. Lois-"
"Is not of this time." Jor-el cut Clark off mid sentence and Clark nodded. "It is dangerous for her to be in this time Kal-el."
Lois thought about what Jor-el meant and decided to take charge. "Okay smallville, wait outside." She said and started to lead Clark out of the fortress.
"What? Lois what are you doing?" Clark asked both annoyed and surprised about being man handled out of his fortress.
Lois smiled at Clark's surprise and pushed harder, "Sorry smallville, but me and ice daddy have important matters to discuss, and I can't have you overhearing anything. So go wait outside and no super hearing okay? Lois barked, her tone dismissing all objections. Once Clark stopped fighting her and was waiting outside Lois moved back to the centre of the fortress, ready to get the answers she deserved.
So? What did you think, only way I'll know is if you review :)
