Review Comments:
Meg - Thanks! I love having the General and Jo'an together! haha.
A,sky - Because the Lane family (minus Lois obviously) doesn't know about Clark's powers, I kind of think it'd be funny to have someone who is so open about their own powers, like Mera. But I'm going to leave it up to a vote! haha.
alexindigo - The turkey/ham argument was an actual argument from my thanksgiving, haha, so it was a special moment for me personally, haha. I'm glad that you like them! I've tried to add a special flair to each member. Lois with wanting to impress her dad, Clark just trying to survive (haha), the General with his stern personality but warm heart, and of course Jo'an who ties them all together with her impeccable timing, haha. Adding in Lucy with her sometimes less than diplomatic ways of handling things and Jimmy with his pure fear of the General just makes it better, haha.
A Lucy and Jimmy Chapter seems like a must, doesn't it? But both Lucy and Jimmy are taken already. Might it be time for 'pairing' chapters like Clois, Chlollie, and possible now...wait for it...keep waiting...Jucy? hahaha. Pronounced 'Juicy' of course, haha.
I love Justin Hartley, and I thought that was one of his best performances to date. He was brilliant casting as Ollie.
Mpj891 - Haha, awww, that was so sweet!
h-g-j-l-e-r-k - I strongly considered having her do her usual snort and walk away, but come on, we had to give Clark at least one, right? haha.
Anonymous - Yeah, the thing about Brainiac 5 is that he's also played by James Marsters. I know a lot of ladies love him from his Spike days, but I'm not sure that Kara is one of them, haha. Kara is more or less paired up with Bart at this point in the story, which will be confirmed in 'Supergirl', when we see a very special scene between Kara and Jo'an in a little while, haha. That's everyone's spoiler of the day, haha.
NonOmnisMoriar - It was all thanks to mygyps17 for creating that little ball of cuteness! haha.
sunset - It's one of my favorites too, haha. I do have to write two Dinah chapters (one as Dinah, one as Black Canary) to meet the Characters and their Alter-Ego quota, the same with Courtney Whitemore. Mera doesn't have an alter-ego, so she only needs one more (not that she won't appear in more), same with Diana since she only needs a Wonder Woman chapter, but that one is already in the works.
Like I was telling h-g-j-l-e-r-k, I too was thinking she might snort and walk away, maybe Clark grabs her hand and pulls her back, giving her a kiss that brings that 'Oh...Smallville' line out of her. But I thought Clark deserved to win at least once over 50 chapters, haha.
Haha, you caught me! Forever is a very long time, we'll see if I can hack it for that long! haha.
As for my review of 'Collateral', I really liked it, even if it was cheesy and what not. Seeing Clark fly with Lois (even in a virtual world) was beyond special, I'm pretty sure my neighbors could hear my girlish screams, haha. I'm man enough to admit it, haha. I thought the acting could have been better from some of the folks, but as usual, Erica Durance blew me away with her well-timed speech about believing in Clark, which is what my Clark is all about.
katlynne - I'm not going to lie, he gets it from me, haha. Well, don't wait any longer, here it is! haha. Enjoy!
clarkfan325 - Haha, yeah, I like to think by now he has warmed up to poor Clark a little more than he had in Harvest, haha.
LoisNClark4Ever - I'm not sure if Lucy could take her, Lana still has her powers, haha.
By now, I like to think that the General has grown fond of Clark (even if he doesn't show it all that often), so I like to think that he might side with Clark from time to time just to throw his daughter off, haha. He knows how much Lois likes giving Clark a hard time, so he has to help the guy out! haha.
I hadn't even thought about Zatanna, haha, she is long over-due for an appearance. And you're right, a confrontation might be perfect, haha. I'll have to see what I can whip together. I had this idea for a Mera-Jo'an-Lucy shopping trip, but Zatanna might actually be the perfect fit for what I had in mind. Hmm. I'm still going to let the voting continue just because everyone seems to like doing that, but Zatanna is certainly on my mind now! haha.

Summary: A series of 'Kill me or Kiss Me?' moments.
Chapter: #52, Mother's Day
Author's Note: I hope you guys like this one, for whatever reason, I really liked writing it. First section is 'the past', middle section is 'the present', and the last section is 'the future'. Same deal as it was for the Father's Day chapter. Enjoy!
"How about...you just set the table?"
Lois let out a huff, "Why can't I help cook dinner? I always have to set the table."
Ella shared a look with the General. He gave her a look that clearly said that she was on her own.
"Well...it's because Daddy likes to cook his famous spaghetti on his on, you know that. I can't even help him."
The little girl rolled her eyes dramatically, "I guess. I just want to do something special for you on Mother's Day."
Ella smiled at her daughter and pulled her up into her lap, "Sweetie, you're already the most special thing I could ask for."
Even as a little girl, Lois had mastered the smirk. And a wicked smirk stretched across her face, "Hear that Lucy?" she called towards the crib.
The General dropped his spatula, he was laughing too hard. Ella gave him a half-hearted glare, "Sam!"
"What? She's adorable, El!"
Ella shook her head and laughed. "That's why she adores you so much, you know that? You'd let her get away with murder!"
"Daddy is my hero," quipped the child in her lap.
You could see the red tint grow in the General's cheeks, causing Ella to giggle. "Don't get too used to that, Sam."
"What? Why not?"
"Some boy is gunna come along, and steal your little princess away one of these days."
The General mocked offense. "That's not gunna happen, is it Lo?" She promptly shook her head wildly.
"Someday, she's going to find a boy who will be her new hero," Ella told him, giving Lois a kiss on the top of her head.
Lois pouted and shook her head. "Nope. Never."
"That's my girl," smiled the General.
Lois put a finger to her lower lip and made a thoughtful face,"Unless he has like a really cool cape."
Clark made his way down the hall. Lois was still in the shower, and he was planning on surprising her. As he walked that way, he couldn't but feel like he was forgetting something. 'Meh, I'll remember sooner or later,' he thought to himself, slipping inside the bathroom.
About an hour later, they came stumbling out of the steam filled bathroom. "Stop it, Smallville!"
"Why?"
"Because it tickles!"
Clark laughed and threw her over his shoulder, "Put me down you savage!" she giggled.
"Clark no put down Lois," he joked. She smacked him on the back, trying to wiggle free. He lightly smacked her on her behind.
"You are so dead, Kent," she growled.
Clark cradled her in his arms, "I think I like the sound of that."
"Do you now?"
"I think I do."
She buried her face into his neck, causing him to tingle all over. "Lois, I'm going to drop you if you don't stop that."
"Being on the ground would have it's advantages."
Clark let out a very uncharacteristic groan as they fell to the floor in the hallway. And that's how Martha Kent found them.
Creeeeeeaaaaaakkkkkkk.
Lois looked down the hall over Clark's shoulder her eyes narrowed as she tried to make out the shape. "Mrs. K!"
Clark's head shot up, "What?"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" screeched Martha as she ran back downstairs.
Lois got up and ran into their bedroom to get dressed. Clark laid down on his stomach on the floor, letting his forehead smack on the ground.
"I knew I forgot something important. Happy Mother's Day..."
Downstairs, Martha couldn't help but let herself overcome to giggles as she heard Lois yell at Clark about making her forget what day it was.
"Oh Joey, your powers are so much further along than your dad's where at this age."
Jo'an makes a very smug face and looks very proud of herself, "Aunt Kara says that girls mature faster than boys."
Martha smiles. "It sure looks like it, sweetie."
Clark made a sour face, "Just because I had to wait until high school to peek at presents doesn't mean I wasn't mature."
"Smallville, you were about as immature as they came when I met you. And that was your senior year."
He let out a small laugh, "Says the woman wearing a pair of smelling, goofy, pink bunny slippers."
Lois looked at him with a fierce glare, "You take that back."
"I uh...I think I will take something...I think...I think that's a good idea, dear."
Clark promptly super-sped the slippers off Lois' feet and sped towards the back door of the kitchen, where he stood laughing.
"Junior! Get him!"
Jo'an tore off after him and they started to chase each other around the back yard. Martha and Lois run up the porch and watched them race around at speeds so fast that they could barely tell who was who. Jo'an quickly jumped onto Clark's back, trying to wrestle the slippers from him.
"She has so much energy, I don't know how you keep up with her," laughed Martha.
Lois gave her a look. "Is it bad that I want to stab Clark in the neck sometimes just because he can keep up with her?"
"As long as you don't think badly of me for feeling the same way about Jonathan," laughed Martha.
A look from Lois had Martha explaining.
"Jonathan and Clark always had so much in common. They had their chores, working on the truck or the tractor, or playing football in the backyard. I never had anything like that with Clark. I was more of the 'matters of the heart' outlet in his life."
Lois raised her eyebrows, she knew what that meant: Lana Lang.
"I'm going to be honest with you, Lois. It got really old hearing about the girl next door."
Lois laughed. "Mrs. K with the Lana bashing, I like it...but don't tell Clark I said that."
Martha slapped her arm softly. "Lana was a sweet girl, but like I said, Jonathan and Clark had so much in common." Lois looked confused. "They both needed a woman who wasn't afraid to kick them in the butt." That brought an mega-watt smile to Lois' face.
"I love being in DC, but I wish I would have been around for that, Lois. You've always been the one." Martha placed a hand on Lois' hand.
Lois squeezed her hand and nearly teared up. Okay. She did tear up. Just don't tell Clark. "That means so much, Mrs. K."
Martha gave her a stern look. Lois laughed and wiped her eye, "Fine, Mom."
The two shared their moment of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bliss before Lois looked towards the barn. "Junior! Put the tractor down!"
Author's Note: Well, what did you guys think? haha. I tried to do sappy-funny-sappy, haha. Who says you can't make Mother's Day sexy? haha. I didn't have much to go on with Ella Lane, so I hope you guys like my guess at what she might have been like. Also, I hope everyone liked a much more cuddly version of the General, haha, it was quite hard to keep making him seem like a happy fella, haha.
Hopefully the Lana thing was ok, haha, I tried to make it clear that Mrs. K liked Lana and all, she just likes Lois more, haha. Also, don't forget to vote about who goes on the shopping trip with Lucy and Jo'an (Dinah, Diana, Courtney, Mera, or Zatanna!). Shoot me a review! Tell me what ya thought!
Next Up: Lois Lane.
