Epilogue (Part 1)

Two years later

"Ow! I can't believe I let you do this to me again!" Lois cried as she began to push. It had been two years since the birth of their beautiful baby boy Jonathon. Their son was the light of both their lives, and when they got news that they were expecting another child they were absolutely grateful. Lois hadn't gotten pregnant again until eight months ago, it wasn't for lack of trying on their part, it just wasn't in the cards.

"It's not like I can help it." Kal chuckled stroking his wife's forehead soothingly. This labor had not been like when she gave birth to Jonathon, this time she had been in bed for hours, this child did not want to come out. "You can do it sweetheart."

She felt as if she had heard that countless times throughout the day and night, yet it did nothing to help her. The more she pushed the more tired she grew. Lois clenched her teeth together and pushed one last time before she sighed feeling the child finally leave her. Lois fell back on the bed panting, she was completely exhausted. She clutched onto Kal's hand as she closed her eyes. She smiled feeling Kal kiss her damp forehead. "We have a beautiful baby girl."

Lois let out a joyous cry as she heard the baby begin to cry out. Lois looked up at Kal who was cradling their newborn child bundled up in a blanket. Kal gently placed their daughter in Lois' arms. "My daughter would put up a fight wouldn't she?" Lois chuckled smiling down at her and Kal's beautiful, perfect daughter. Lois sighed contentedly as her eyes began to droop. Kal sensed her fatigue and gently took the baby from her arms and watched as Lois almost immediately fell asleep.

Lois laid in bed wrapped in a pink silk and gold plush night robe cradling her daughter in her arms. "Some people say daughters are unnecessary, but look at me, I turned out to be pretty important. And you will be my little girl, I will not allow anyone to say that about you."

The little girl looked up into her mothers eyes with a fiery spark. Lois let out a small giggle. "And because you are my daughter I have a feeling you are going to be a handful."

"Of course she will be." Kal entered the room his son Jonathon sitting on his shoulders. "We will have to keep close eye on her."

"You're really going to say that I'm the reason we'll need to keep an eye on our children when you're their father?" Lois teased looking at her son and husband.

"Mama." Jonathon smiled as Kal lifted the young boy off his shoulders. The little dark haired boy reached for his mother as Kal sat on the bed next to Lois, Jonathon sitting on her lap.

"Hello my boy." Lois smiled kissing his forehead. "There is someone you need to meet."

"This is your sister, Ella." Kal smiled down at the dark headed boy who had his mothers hazel eyes, and nose. The young Prince looked at the baby in his mothers arms curiously.

"Ella." The little boy spoke tentatively.

Kal looked at the scene before him, if someone had told him years ago that he would be happily married, with two beautiful healthy children and vastly changed in his thoughts and ways of ruling he would have laughed in their face. He could not picture his life any more perfect then it was at that moment. He and his wife, sitting in bed with the small family that they had created, Kal was so in love with his children, and his wife. He knew they would soon have to send Jonathon to his own estate with his tutors and teachers, but he enjoyed every moment of their son being in the palace with them. Lois and Kal spent much more time with their children than most parents did, most of the time it was only necessary to give birth to the child and then place them in the capable hands of tutors and advisors only to see them when they were grown. Neither Lois or Kal wanted that at all.

Kal watched as Ella reached for Jonathon's small finger and wrapped her hand around the chubby finger of her brother. "She likes you." Lois smiled at her son. "Jonathon it is your responsibility to always look out for your sister. She is your sister and that's what brothers do."

"I will Mama." Jonathon promised his mother before yawning and snuggling into the space between his father and mother.

"Well someone is comfortable." Lois chuckled looking up at Kal with sparkling eyes. "I love you Kal, my King."

"And I love you Lois, my Queen." Kal smiled descending his lips on Lois'. Before anything could get out of hand Ella giggled in her mothers arms, at her parents affection.

"Well there goes the moment." Lois laughed looking down at her happy baby.

"No, this moment could not be more perfect." Kal reassured settling into the bed draping his arm over his son, wife and daughter. Lois gave Kal's hand a slight squeeze before sighing contentedly.

Five Years Later

Two months ago Lois had given birth to another healthy baby boy. Ella's abilities had recently started to show, a bit later than her brothers but that was okay. Jonathon was now seven years old and shocking even his teachers with how smart he truly was. Lois sat with Kal in the palace in Krypton eating dinner, she couldn't help but stare at him appreciatively, he was gorgeous. His high cheekbones, statuesque jaw line and steel blue eyes that were cold when she first met him had turned warm and calming. His black hair was loosely styled off his face and he was dressed in a dark grey outfit.

"I have a surprise for you tonight darling." Lois suggested wickedly.

Kal swallowed his soup and raised a brow to his wife. "Do you?"

"Mmmhmm." Lois sounded taking a drink of her wine before she quickly changed the subject. "Jonathon will be here tomorrow, I miss him."

"As do I." Kal replied his thoughts still on his wife's tease about a surprise.

"His tutors tell me he is smarter than any boy they've ever seen." Lois said so full of pride.

"How could he not be? Look at his parents." Kal winked.

"Has anyone ever told you being humble is not exactly your strong suit?" Lois smiled up at her husband.

"You don't seem to mind." Kal chuckled watching Lois' every move.

"Kal I want to say something, and it's serious so listen up." Lois spoke up. "I just, I wanted to tell you how proud I am of you. Before we ever met I heard all the stories about the feared King of Krypton. I heard of your harsh punishments and cut throat ways. And since I've met you things have really changed for you. You are still a bold and fierce ruler but you are much less brash than before. Your people now see you as a respectable leader, not only a leader they must obey and fear. Krypton is at peace for the first time in centuries, and it's because of you! You have done so much with your life."

"Well I don't know about that Lois, my brother did pass away yesterday from an illness he no doubt caught from living in the dank and unforgiving prisoners quarters that I sentenced him to rot in." Kal said with a hint of sorrow.

"Kal that was not your fault. Your brother tried to raise an army against you." Lois assured him. "He is lucky he was not sentenced to the gallows. And besides you allowed your sister her freedom, even though she was stripped of her titles and living in the country alone."

Kal shook his head, placed his napkin on the table and stood up facing the window, his back to Lois. "Sometimes I do not know what you see in me."

Lois frowned, sometimes Kal became too introspective for his own good, and often grew somber. She got up from her seat and walked over towards him, wrapping her arms around his waist. "I see a man who could have killed me in an instant but showed me more kindness then I had ever experienced in my life. A man who would have fought the depths of hell to be with me, who reassured me of our love when I was unsure. A man who married me and treated me as an equal and made me his Queen even though I was hesitant to call you King. A man who has given me three beautiful children that will someday follow in both our footsteps." Lois smiled kissing his shoulder gently. "To me you are perfect."

Kal sighed and turned around to face Lois. "I apologize Lois, you know sometimes my mind runs away from me from time to time."

"And that is why I am here." Lois smiled up at him, "To bring you back."

Kal smiled down at Lois, "And you always do Lois."

"What do you say we retire and I show you your surprise? I think it will cheer your up quite a bit." Lois smiled reaching for his hand.

"If you insist." Kal smirked as Lois led him to their bedchamber.

Lois made sure Kal stayed put on the bed and did not use his abilities in any way. She and Beth stood giggling in Lois' dressing chamber, "Just as your Majesty requested."

"The seamstress' did a marvelous job with this. And with such short notice." Lois smiled as Bath smoothed out the garment. "I want to surprise Kal."

"Oh I do think your Majesty will surprise him." Bath smiled up at the Queen.

"When is your wedding Beth?" Lois asked looking at her reflection in the mirror.

"In three weeks time." Beth smiled happily.

"Three weeks time and one my dearest friends will no longer be with me daily." Lois said sadly. "But I am happy for you Beth."

"Thank you Majesty." Beth curtseyed. "But I am only a call away Madame, you are still my friend as well."

Lois smiled at Beth before taking a deep breath. "You are dismissed for the night Beth, I will be spending it with my husband."

"Yes Majesty." Beth smiled before exiting the room with a smile on her face.

Lois gazed at her reflection one last time before turning towards the door. "Close your eyes." She called through the wood.

"Lois!" Kal whined causing Lois to chuckle.

"Just do it, I promise it will be worth it. And no peaking, in any way!" Lois warned him.

"Okay, okay." Kal conceded closing his eyes, he could hear the door open and close as Lois entered the room. Her footsteps soft and cautiously walked towards him. Kal felt his heart rate quicken in his chest, as soon as he heard her enter the room all the burdens of his past were lifted from him. She was the reason for all the changes in his life, hell she was his life.

"Okay." Lois called in a sultry voice. "Open those beautiful blue eyes."

Kal's eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the light in the room before focusing on the sight before him, and his jaw dropped. Lois stood before him in a royal red silk dress, but it wasn't just any dress. The sleeves were barely there, the same fabric as the dress, but that wasn't the only thing that was barely there. There were two slits in Lois' gown, one dramatic one up the front of her dress stopping at the mid-thigh, allowing Kal to see the gold fabric underneath the dress and admire her long toned legs. The second slit being in the front of the dress, it dipped down to the middle of her stomach her swollen perky breasts straining against the corset and the slit in the dress. The dress was completely inappropriate and could never be worn out in public, it was only for his eyes, and that made Kal smile in appreciation.

"Well? What do you think?" Lois teased spinning around for him.

"I think that your gown is completely inappropriate Majesty." Kal said in a low voice as he stalked closer towards her.

"Is it?" Lois questioned playing along with him. "I don't see any problem with my garment my Lord. You see I've recently given birth and have lost the excess weight. I just wanted to flaunt myself to my husband."

Kal reached Lois pressing his body flush against hers. Lois' breathing grew heavy from his close proximity and the lustful look in his, now dark, eyes. Kal placed a finger in the hollow of Lois' throat and torturously lowered it all the way down to the end of the slit in her dress. "I think your husband is very appreciative."

"Really? So you believe he still has a passion for me?" Lois lowered her voice and raised her lips inches from his.

Kal literally growled before capturing Lois' lips in a fierce kiss. Lois snaked her tongue out of her mouth to enter his own soft mouth letting out a whimper as she felt Kal's leg rest itself between her spread legs. Kal pulled away from her lips with a pop leaving both of them panting before replying, "Does that answer your question?"

Lois pulled her bottom lip between her teeth as a smile broke through on her face, the adrenaline was coursing through her body and she felt like she did after they first got married. The innocent yet lustful look on Lois' face gave Kal that extra push he needed, he wrapped her body up in his arms and slowly walked them both to their bed. Kal gently laid her down before wrapping his hands around the slit in the bodice in her dress before ripping the dress in two. Lois gasped and slightly jumped at his raw display of power, very very rarely had Kal ever showed his true strength to her, and the masculine display alone excited her immensely. Lois quickly pulled on Kal's loose garment until he slipped it off his shoulders and began work on his pants.

"You've gotten better at undressing a man." Kal teased her.

"I would hope so." Lois chuckled slipping his trousers off his hips. "Now shut up and kiss me your Majesty."

Kal grinned descending his lips down upon Lois' once more. No matter how long they were together they still could not get enough of each other, Kal was still as enchanted by her as he was when they first met. He was extremely lucky to have such a desirable and adventurous wife, it certainly kept things from ever getting boring. As Kal thoroughly, passionately kissed Lois his hand trailed down her body before grabbing her smooth leg and hooking it up over his shoulder. Lois smiled pulling away from Kal she gazed wickedly up at Kal before sighing as they were joined intimately once more.
