Clark felt like his strength was greatly diminished, it probably wasn't, but he was finding it difficult to move his arms and legs. That is until he realized that Diana was laying next to him with her arms and legs wrapped around him tightly. She had him locked in securely, like a straightjacket, but for some reason Clark felt it was more of a selfishly possessive hold she had on him.

Maybe she doesn't want me to get away. He thought egotistically. Then again I did disappear for a year last time, and missed out on her having the baby. A baby! Oh no, I really hope I didn't just knock her up again.

"Diana." He shook himself gently, and she began to wake. "Diana, can you wake up? I can't move here."

After a few seconds Diana did fully wake, and immediately upon looking into his eyes she smiled widely and climbed on top for a long kiss. "Good morning."

"Good morning to you." The kiss she'd just given him didn't say good morning though, it said morning sex. Which he was more than open to. He quickly forgot about a potential second baby.

"Get up, follow me." Diana jumped up excitedly grabbing his wrist and dragging him out of the bed. She pulled him up and out of the room.

"Where are we going? Shouldn't we get dressed?"

Diana stopped walking and allowed Clark to walk right into her, the she took one of his hands and placed it on her backside, then whispered in his ear. "Do you really want me to get dressed?"

"You're right I don't." Clark conceded. "Now where are we going?"

"Follow me." She lifted off the floor and he followed her up several levels to the chambers where he kept all of the gardens and such. Without missing a beat she walked right into what he called his experimental earth garden. Which was about 4 football fields of scientifically enhanced fruits and vegetables, in here everything grew extremely fast, lasted extremely long and was extraordinarily big. He and Diana passed by a lemon tree with lemons the size of watermelons. Clearly she had been through this whole area when she gathered the seeds to plant her inner city gardens, but she seemed to have had a plan today. She seemed to be taking a very specific path. It actually wasn't a bad place to start the day, although artificial, there was plenty of sunlight and a cool breeze blowing through the trees.

She finally stopped in a clearing where there was a large blanket placed on the ground and several baskets full of food placed on it. As she bent to pick up a basket and retrieve something to eat Clark's eyes lingered on her long legs and her shapely hips. He suddenly wondered why he ever had a problem with her being nude so often.

Diana turned back with a peach in her hand to Clark staring at her intently, she liked this, she liked the way he showed how much he desired her. She liked the contrast between the two of them, the masculine and the feminine, the senses in her entire body were somehow heightened when he was near her, and even more so when the sexual energy between them was high. She almost forgot about the peach, until she felt her stomach rumble and took a bite, savoring the sweet flavor. She then held the peach up for Clark to take a bite.

"First we eat."

They both sat and went through the baskets, which contained a hearty spread of fruits for them to dine on, all picked from the normal sized garden. As Clark watched her eat he was almost jealous of her food, the way she rolled it around in her mouth was a stark reminder of what else she could do with her incredible lips and tongue. Diana on the other hand could feel Clark's eyes on her and could almost sense his desire, he was clearly ready for another go round, and while she was too she needed to eat first. Last nights intense lovemaking had worked up an incredible appetite. In order to slow him down she decided to try a simple conversation.

"This is really a beautiful place." She looked around at the trees and the landscape, mostly to avoid looking at him. "More beautiful than the other gardens."

"This one is experimental, this was actually my first attempt to make crops grow extra fast. They did, but they also were enormous. Not really something I could plant anywhere without getting a lot of attention. But I can definitely say that everything in this room tastes good, I got a whole pitcher of lemonade out of one lemon in here. They have the perfect amount of sweetness and the perfect amount of kick. Just like you."

"Like me?" Diana turned back to him quickly with a confused look.

"Yeah, you're strong and tough, but everywhere it matters you're soft and sweet." He spoke slowly, and let his eyes sweep over her body again.

"I could say the same about you." Diana laughed, then turned serious. "Clark, was there a god of sex on Krypton?"

Clark smiled widely at that. "No there wasn't. There's only one Kryptonian god." The way he saw it Rao was the one and only god. The source. Who under different names was also widely worshiped on Earth too, but he elected not to say that. Not to someone who recently discovered that her own gods may not be gods at all.

"Oh? I would have assumed you'd been blessed by him many times over." Diana half regretted saying that, she originally started talking to get her mind off sex, but the conversation turned rather quickly.

"No, that's all me." He said, maybe a little too boastfully.

"Oh is it? Of course you know I have gifts from the Goddess of Pleasure." Diana leaned back on her hands and poked her breasts out towards him. She had only eaten about half of what she wanted, but his body had been calling her since they woke up, so she decided to just go for broke.

"Oh I definitely know this."

"Come here, I don't think I've shown you all of them."

Last night had been fast and furious, but this morning they slowed things down, more out of necessity than anything as neither had quite recovered yet. While their energy had faded, their desire did not.

Diana climbed on top and began swaying her body, moving like a bellydancer at a painfully slow pace. Clark grabbed her hips and urged her to go faster but she quickly stopped him by leaning down and kissing him.

"Don't do that." She whispered. "Take it slow, I want to feel everything, I want to savor every moment together. Does that feel good?"

Clark couldn't even speak, after a sensual shift of Diana's hips all he could do was growl like a wild animal. Which seemed to excite Diana even more because her smile widened and her pace picked up ever so slightly. Also her kisses deepened, before she pulled back and ran her fingertips across his chest.

As her body began to spasm, Clark reached up to run his hands across her torso and breasts, stimulating her hot zones as she edged towards a climax. Her breathing got a little heavier and her moaning got a little louder, she caught his hands by the wrists and held them securely at her chest. "δεν σταματούν."


Eventually they had to stop, their lives needed to be lived again. After a quickie in the shower they both dressed and returned to Metropolis with Clara, who appeared to have been quite content without them.

"Are you late for work?" Diana wondered, she hadn't considered his job it was almost noon.

"Oh yeah I'm late, and I'm about to call in, I'm not going anywhere today. My boss gets mad when people call off so late, but I've been yelled at over you before. Trust me, you're worth it."

"Before? When?"

"When Superman was dragged to Themyscira everyone thought Clark Kent was in England, I had a job to do that day, a job that didn't get done."

"Oh right, you told me this, it's why we tell everyone we met in England."

"Yes, and I told my boss that you're the reason that I didn't get my assignment done."

"Oh." Diana picked up Clara and headed down towards the kitchen. "Well, since we skipped breakfast I'm very hungry."

"Well it was worth it."

"Yes it was, but I need food. I haven't been this hungry since I was pregnant."

Like a ton of bricks it hit Clark that they didn't even discuss potential pregnancy last night, and that he completely ignored it this morning. It wasn't long ago that she claimed to want more children, could she have gotten pregnant last night? Or this morning? Although he figured it was a bit premature, he looked into Diana's body to see what he could see.

"What are you doing?" Diana turned to Clark staring at her intently with an expression that looked like desire. "Why are you staring at me like that? Clark I'm carrying a baby, we can't have sex right now!"

"What?" He returned his vision to normal. "I can see that you're carrying a baby right now, I was just looking to see if you were carrying another one."

"Oh." Then Diana started thinking. "Oh!"

"What does 'oh' mean?" Clark was worried now. "Now I know you can control if you're fertile or not but how exactly does that work? Did you... 'turn it off' last night? Because we sure didn't talk about it."

"Um, yes?" Diana stammered quite unconvincingly.

"You don't know do you?"

"Not precisely, I've only had sex twice Clark, the first time I was sure I wanted Clara, but this time I simply cannot be sure."

"Ok, ok, ok, relax." He spoke for his own benefit, Diana seemed quite fine with the whole thing. "It's not a bad thing, it's something you wanted, and I would be happy to have another little one to watch over. Uh, you might have to get a job… So how do you know if you're pregnant or not?"

"Epione informed me last time, the very next morning after we laid together. If I were on Themyscira she would likely be able to tell me."

Clark seemed to be coming unglued, he was now pacing around the living room. "Ok, ok."

"Clark calm down, now you're making me nervous!"

"Oh, sorry." He stopped pacing. "I'll tell you what, I'll just go get us some food. I'll be back soon."

"Alright."


Clark hopped into his car and went for a drive, while he fully intended to bring back food in a timely fashion he needed to clear his head. He wasn't ready for another baby, not now. The financial needs or the time required to raise another child could be dealt with without too much hassle, but Steppenwolf's threat of Darkseid's return still lingered in his mind. It truly scared him out of his mind, and to think that Diana could be pregnant and unable to properly defend herself made it even more frightening. He needed Bruce's super hero team idea to work, and work well. He was going to have to tell them the truth, to find out what they would do if Darkseid came after only him, would they fight alongside him or would they let him deal with his own personal battle? Bruce would help, and probably Zee, but he had no idea about Green Lantern or Flash. He needed to know who to trust.

Based on the car radio and the news apps on his phone, nothing too crazy happened last night, just the Flash dealing with some guy called 'Trickster' in Central City, a few people injured, none seriously. Metropolis had nothing out of the ordinary last night or this morning, the only reports about Superman were about the bridge collapse from the day before.


Clark returned with a rather large order from a Texas style barbecue joint, much to Diana's satisfaction. "You're back, with meat! I sure needed this."

"Here you go." Clark was a little taken aback when Diana all but snatched the paper bags out of his hands, and went through them quickly to determine what he brought.

"I told you I was hungry enough to eat for two, do not cross me when I'm hungry Clark, I would much prefer not to injure you."

Clark laughed. "You weren't kidding, about being hungry were you?"

Diana didn't even respond, she just removed a slab of ribs from it's paper wrapping and began eating like a madwoman. Clark sat in a stool at the kitchen counter next to her and began eating himself, being careful to to reach too close to Diana's food.

Meanwhile Clara was in a talkative mood, just making happy noise after happy noise, mixed in with a few dadas as well. Clark was able to feel the emotion coming from Clara, and clear as day she felt happy as a lark. Which made him remember that Clara could somehow feel his emotions too, he was quite happy himself, happy with Diana. And had even found a happy place about the potential for Diana to be pregnant with another baby. He began laughing, and Clara did as well.

Diana stopped eating and looked around, first at her laughing daughter and then at Clark. "What's so funny?"

"Well, seeing you stuff your face like that is pretty amusing, but right now I'm just in a good mood. Maybe it's because Clara always puts me in a good mood, or maybe…" He leaned close and whispered in her ear. "It's because you're the most incredible lover I could have ever imagined."

Clark then picked up Clara and carried her into the other room, leaving Diana a bit flustered. Just Clark standing that close to her got her muscles quivering, and somehow him walking away like that made her even more frustrated. She had half a mind to jump his bones right now, but logic prevailed, they needed to do things like eat, and rest, and raise their daughter. Although it was a nice thought, they couldn't spend their whole lives in bed.


After Diana finished eating she joined Clark and Clara in the den, where they were on the floor playing. Clark was crawling around on the floor around her, and Clara tried to follow, reaching for him in every direction while laying on her back.

"What are you doing?" Diana asked, sitting down on the floor.

"I'm showing her the proper crawling technique, she'll be doing that sooner or later I figure she'll need to know the basics."

"Oh." Diana was sure that Clara would be able to figure it out on her own, but then remembered that Clark liked to play games with Clara, a bit more than she did herself. "And once you do that, soon you'll learn to stand and walk, and one day you'll fly higher and faster than the birds."

Clara squealed with glee and kicked her feet as Diana tickled her stomach with both hands. The she picked her up and tucked her in one arm. "But maybe even sooner than that, you may find yourself with a baby sister or brother. How do you feel about that?"

Diana glanced up at Clark but was unable to get a reading on his expression, Clara however immediately stopped laughing and grabbed onto one of the thin straps of Diana's camisole top and pulled until it ripped.

"I don't think she likes that at all." Clark tried to joke while Diana seemed quite taken aback by the reaction.

"Perhaps not."

Clark leaned against the couch, crossed his arms and got serious. "She'll get over it… If indeed that's what's about to happen."

"I'm sorry Clark I simply do not know. I cannot remember what was thinking last night, and I could be weeks before I know for sure. Did you see anything?"

"I don't know. You look like a normal human woman to me. It's too soon to know anything."

"Epione would know, maybe I should go to her. I know you did not wish for more children right now, at least then we would know."

"That's up to you. It would mean going back, and I know how you feel about that. I'll be happy no matter what happens, whether it's just the three of us or it's the three of us and little Kalvin or Kalinda."

"I don't like the name Kalinda, if we have a girl she will not have that name. Kalvin is alright… I suppose."

"You suppose?" Then Clark remembered where he originally came up with that name. Kalvin Ellis Kent was the name of the son he and Lana had invented for themselves years ago. They told each other stories about how wild and rambunctious he was, and how he caused no end of trouble. They sometimes talked about him as if he were real, until they discovered they couldn't have children together, and shortly after that their relationship ended. He realized that he didn't feel right using that name anymore.

"You know what, the names are debatable. We don't even know if you're pregnant or not. We'll find out when we find out and we'll cross that bridge when we come to it." Clark got quiet after that, and sat silently with a mournful look on his face.

"Very well." Diana agreed, while wondering what made him look sad all of a sudden.

Clark seemed willing to wait, but Diana wanted to know right now if she were pregnant or not. As the day went on Diana found herself leaning towards returning to Themyscira to find out for sure. And as she laid down to sleep that night and kissed Clark goodnight she made her final decision. Tomorrow she would leave Clara here and return to see Epione, hoping that the healer would tell her quickly and allow her to leave before her mother even knew she was there.
