I always thought that Alicia would be a little more scared to get in a relationship with Clark in fear of him thinking she was re-obsessing over him, but I think that's why I liked her character even more because when she came back in season four she grabbed the bull by the horn and went to see clark.

Atlanta Georgia, Lenox Square (1 minute before Alicia and Clark exit Pottery Barn Kids)
Walking out of the Nike shoe store with a new pair of running shoes April thinks, 'Okay I think that should be good. Do I need anything else? Nope, so I think I deserve a treat where is Amorino, that always puts a smile on face. I think its on the second floor." April takes the escalator up and as she reaches the second floor; she sees Alicia and someone carrying an ungodly number of boxes coming out of Pottery Barn Kids and says, "Oh My God!".
Alicia looked like a dear in the headlights thinking 'Why her? Of all the people in the world, it had to be April that found us.' Alicia focuses on just trying to get out of this situation and says, "Hello April it's nice seeing you again. We were picking up some stuff for Clark's mom." As she points to Clark holding the boxes. Clark just waves, holding the boxes with one hand which shocks April. April moved past the thought of one person holding such a huge amount of things and focused on what Alicia had said and seeing a hole in Alicia's story April said, "I thought you said you were going back to Smallville for the weekend." In a matter of fact tone with a look of confusion. Alicia starts panicking and trying to think of how to get out of this situation and starts by saying "Yeah well we just got back like an hour ago and what I meant was that Clark will be staying with me for a period of time and he had a baby so that's why we're picking up all this stuff and we clearly didn't know what to pick up so his mom had told us this list before we headed back here." This confused April even more as to why this seemingly random person and his child is staying with her.
April isn't buying this story but notices that Alicia is uncomfortable in this situation and decides to let it go for now and says "Okay I will head over to your place later tonight to help you guys set up and we can talk a little more about everything that happened." April smiled and walked off leaving no room for argument.
Alicia watched her walk off thinking about what she said and what April said, everything finally clicking on what she said. Alicia looks to Clark and says "Now we have a problem on what we are going to do. I mean I just told her you and grace were moving in and now she is going to come over and help us. I think we might have to tell her a portion of the real story or she is going to know something is up." Clark still holding all the things they bought said, "Well this was also a question that was going to need to be answered. What would our situation be as far as where Grace is staying? I mean would I speed you back and forth from here to Smallville or would we stay over here, and I could just speed wherever I would need to be." Alicia hadn't considered these things and began thinking 'Would he want to stay over here with Grace. Can we even do it here I mean my place isn't fit for a family and would we really able to do it on our own?' Alicia asks Clark "Would you mind staying over here I mean I would hate to force you to constantly carry me and I do want us both to be with Grace, but our sure you want to?" Clark just replies, "Yeah it should be fine staying here although it might be a little cramped, but if your alright with having us I would be fine." It really touched Alicia that he was so willing to makes changes for her and basically move to Atlanta to help accommodate her.
Alicia walks up to Clark and gives him a kiss in the cheek and said "Thank you for being you. Now let's put all this stuff at my place then head back to Smallville to tell Mrs. Kent what the plan is." Clark nods in agreement with a smile on his face on the way things were progressing.

Clark finishes putting everything down as Alicia began taking everything out of the bags. Clarks walks over to her and starts helping her. As they finish Clark holds his hand out and says, "Okay whenever you're ready we can go pick up grace and tell my mom what going on, we can finish all this when we get back." Alicia takes his hand an says "Lets do this." Clark picks her up and heads towards Smallville.

Smallville Kansas, Kent Family Barn
Clark puts Alicia down in the living room and yells "Mom! We're back!" Martha soon comes down the stairs quickly shushing Clark and saying "Shush Clark I just got her to sleep. Jeez if she wakes up its on you." Clark looked down embarrassed and said, "Sorry." Martha just let it be and finally noticed that they didn't have anything with them and asks, "What happened to all the things I put on the list?" Clark was about to respond but before he could Alicia went forward and said, "Actually Mrs. Kent we decided to put grace over in Atlanta instead of Smallville and Clark said he doesn't mind moving into my place with grace. We decided to stay over there and raise Grace together while allowing our relationship to grow." Alicia kept her posture straightened and her expression serious as if to show her stance.
Both Clark and Alicia were expecting Martha to be somewhat angry for basically moving Grace across the country but instead she said "Good, I think it will be good for you two to go through parenting together. You two can look at this as a real make or break situation because raising Grace will be a team effort and it will test your relationship plus being a parents is one of the best things in life, but remember I am always just a call away if you need some guidance." She looked to Alicia and said "I am glad that you guys talked things out and came to this conclusion. I'm looking forward to your future." Martha looked to Clark and said "You should probably take all the stuff I put in your room to Alicia's place. Get everything set up over there and ready for when Alicia and Grace come back. If you have any questions call the home phone and ill be talking to Alicia on what you guys should be expecting with grace while your doing that." Clark nods before turning to Alicia and asking, "You going to be okay staying here while I go back to set things up." Alicia just nods before handing him the Keys. Clark smiles and says, "See you guys later." He heads out the door and speeds away.
