While Alicia's place is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment that doesn't mean it is this cramped tiny place. It is one bedroom with one bath but it also has a living room and a kitchen along with a closet area with a washer and dryer in it.

April looked around the apartment and was shocked to see how different it looked to a couple of days ago. April turns to Alicia and says "Wow you guys didn't even need our help. I'm shocked you were able to do all this in a couple of hours." Alicia walks back over to Grace and Clark. Grace begins stretching towards Alicia motioning that she wanted to go with her mother. Alicia takes Grace's hand starts doing tiny swirls in the air with them before grabbing her in an embrace and saying "Yeah Grace fell asleep as we got back so we made quick work of getting everything done while we had a break." April eyed the way Alicia was holding the baby and how she seemed to treat the child as if it were her own.

April lets it go for the moment deciding to study this as the night progresses. She moves towards Alicia and Grace and begins cooing towards the baby and playing with her feet. Grace however didn't enjoy this and began crying and kicking her feet. April still had a one hand on Graces foot as she started the kicking before she felt an ungodly amount of strength coming from the foot and before she knew it she let go but not quick enough as Grace's foot stamped down on April wrist causing her to wince.

Alicia and Clark were so focused on the crying Grace that neither were able to notice what happened to April. Theo however noticed that April was holding her wrist and asked, "Are you Okay?" April didn't want to let the stinging pain in her wrist show and said, "Yeah I'm just a little sad that she doesn't like me." Theo wraps an arm around her and says, "I'm sure that she just isn't adjusted to new people yet so just give her some time." April just nods along thinking 'How does a baby generate that much strength in her kicks.' She looks up to see Clark and Alicia doting over Grace, which is what she would expect from Clark, but not Alicia.

April taps Alicia's open shoulder and asks, "Can we talk in the kitchen real quick." Alicia seeing this coming decided to just bite the bullet and answer her questions. Alicia asks Clark "Can you take her for a minute April needed to talk to me." Clark's answers back "Sure thing." Clark takes Grace in his hands and Alicia and April walk off to the kitchen.

Alicia leans onto the counter and says, "so what did you want to talk about?" April just stares at her straight faced and says "Tell me the truth as to what is going on because I've known you forever, we are best friends. I've been looking for a while do you know how Clark acts toward that child. I'll tell you. He is constantly looking over to Grace to make sure she is okay, he tensed up as soon as I went to play with Grace and when she was crying it looked like his whole world was shook. Do you want to know how I saw you acting towards Grace?" Alicia was unsure as to where she was going with this and just shook her head. April smiled and finished "You looked exactly like Clark except it makes sense for him since it's his child, but for you I don't understand. Not to mention the fact that Grace looks more like you than she does Clark, other than her eyes, they are a dead ringer of Clark." Alicia didn't really know what to say to this as she didn't think that April would pay that close attention to how Clark and she were acting.

Alicia was going to try and make up a story when April stated, "And what is she because I don't know a single baby that can kick hard enough to the point where I feel like my wrist snapped." It was at this point that Alicia noticed that April was still gripping her wrist as if she was afraid her hand might fall off if she were to let go. Alicia walks over to her fridge and grabs an ice pack and towel. Alicia walks over to April and helps wrap the ice pack around her wrist and says, "Sorry she can't really control herself." April just shakes her head and says "She's a baby Alicia they can't control anything. So, what's the story, come on, you know you can tell me." Alicia just lets out a sigh and says "Short version is that Grace is my daughter from the future and Clark is her father. As for the strength that's because of Clark. Remember how I told you I had teleportation and my past. Clark was also like me in that he got powers from the radiation." Alicia thinking 'Better to not tell her he is also an alien.'

From their past conversations April knew a decent amount about how messed up of a place Smallville was so when she heard the explanation given to her she was still mildly shocked but digested it soon after. April shakes her head and says, "It like everything I worked for in the field of science is meaningless when it comes to you guys." Alicia agrees with the statement and says, "Thanks for keeping this all a secret again its nice to know I can always trust you." April gives Alicia a hug and says, "I have to or else you would expose my drunk fountain swimming nights to everyone." They both begin laughing at this and head back to Clark and Theo.

Clark and Theo are taking about the work that Theo was doing as April and Alicia were walking towards them. Alicia came up to Clark who had Grace in his lap and said, "Did she behave for you?" Clark holds Grace out for her mother to see her and says, "With a smile like that would it matter?" Alicia takes Grace and says "I think you have a point. So, what were you two talking about?" Clark perks up at this and says, "Oh we were talking about how Theo is an exploration aide and how he gets to go to all these amazing places." Theo just waves off Clark praise.

April sees how much time has passed and says, "Well since you guys are doing okay, I guess well take our leave before it gets too late." April waves to Clark and gives a hug to Alicia as Theo shakes Clark's hand and gives a wave to Alicia. They both head out the door and Clark closes it before turning back to Alicia and saying "I'm going to head to Chloe's place to check in on anything that happened this weekend and tell her what happened with Grace and where I'll be staying now. I'll be back once I'm done, it shouldn't take too long." Alicia just says, "Good luck" and gives him a quick peck on the cheek before heading to the kitchen with Grace. Clark smiles as he watches her leave the room before speeding over to Metropolis.
