A/N : Hey, sorry it took me so long to get around to posting the final chapter of this, but here it is! Thanx for the wonderful reviews ; NickyJean, Gemini, C*h*e*r*r*i*e*s, Meredith Welling - glad you're still reading this and enjoying it. I hope you like the ending. Nothing left to be said now except, read and enjoy...

(Disclaimer : see chapter 1)

"Oh sorry" Clark cracked a smile as he realised he had walked in on something he shouldn't have.

"Hey Clark" Chloe smiled, totally without embarrassment. So Clark had caught her kissing Lex? Big deal! She was in love and she didn't care. Lex was less confident and was almost hiding behind her.

"I only came in to tell you I'm going home now. I'm guessing you two can look after each other now?"

"Oh yeah" Chloe smirked, "we'll be just fine" Lex had to smile at that and grew impatient for Clark to leave.

"Yeah so we'll see you later Clark, okay?" he called.

"Yeah, see ya Lex. Bye Chloe"

"Bye Clark" the blonde girl called as the door to the hospital room closed again. "Do you think maybe people will leave us alone now?" she asked, turning back to her 'boyfriend'.

"I hope so" Lex answered, kissing her again.

"Hey Clark, how are Chloe and Lex?" Martha asked as soon as her son got home.

"They're fine. Both awake and both happy," Clark told her, "with each other" he added with a smile.

"Lex and Chloe are 'together'?" she looked confused.

"Yeah, but I'll explain about that later" Clark continued, "Right now I need to tell you something. Where's Dad?"

"I'm right here son" Jonathan called as he entered the room, "What's up?"

"I think maybe you should sit down for this" Clark told his parents and with matching worried expression, Martha and Jonathan took a seat at the kitchen table.

"Mom, Dad, Lana knows the truth about me" Clark said quickly.

Neither of his parents seemed to react, it was as if they hadn't heard him. He decided to just explain and hope that the would say something after they'd heard the whole story.

"You see, me and Lana went to look for the Nicodemus plant and while we were out there I got sprayed but obviously I was okay because it doesn't have a lethal effect on me but it did have a temporary effect. I told Lama that I loved her but I don't remember doing it, that's how I know the Nicodemus got me but I'm fine now so obviously the effects are only temporary for me because of who I am. So I had to explain to Lana how I survived..."

"It's okay Clark" Martha told her son. "I understand why you told her"

"I don't think she'll tell anyone. She said she loved me, but that was before she knew the truth"

"Clark, if Lana truly loves you it won't matter to her who or what you are"

"What did she say after you told her, son"

"She didn't say anything really, just that she needed time to think and process it all and that she'd talk to me later"

"Then I don't think you have anything to worry about, Clark. If it's true love that you two have, it will survive anything, even a secret like yours"

Clark smiled. He knew his parents would say something to make him feel better - they always did. Before anymore could be said there was a knock at the door.

"I'll go" Jonathan stood up and moved toward the door.

"Hi Lana, come in" Clark heard him say as he opened the front door. The raven haired girl appeared in the room and immediately Martha got to her feet.

"Oh hi Lana, no offence but Jonathan and I really have to go out now"

"What? I thought..." Jonathan began but his wife shot him a look, "Oh yeah" he said suddenly, "yeah, we were just going out. See you kids later" he concluded as Martha took his hand and dragged him from the room.

"Sorry about the completely non-subtle exit of my parents" Clark smiled.

"It's okay" Lana smiled too, "they were just trying to help by leaving us alone to talk" she moved and sat down opposite Clark at the table.

"Clark, what you told me was a shock at first, but then it kind of helped make sense of a lot of things. You're always the one to save everybody, me, Chloe, Lex, Pete, even strangers, now I know why"

"I wanted to tell you sooner" Clark told her honestly, "but I had to be sure first, sure about what I felt for you and sure about what you felt for me"

"And you're sure now?" she checked.

"I'm sure that I love you" he said slowly, not daring to ask what he wanted to know, did she still feel the same about him? He could barely look at her, until she took his hand.

"And I love you too" she smiled, "Nothing will ever change that"

They sat in silent happiness for a moment, just looking into each others eyes.

"Hey, if you don't remember what happened when you were under the influence of the Nicodemus, then you don't remember..." Lana trailed off.

"I don't remember what?" Clark wanted to know but she did not answer. She just stood up and encouraged him to do the same. She moved in close to him and kissed him, much to his pleasant surprise.

And so two couples were finally together, against all the odds. Out of the evil of the Nicodemus came the purity of love proving to us that every cloud really does have a silver lining and for every bad situation there should be a least one good thing to come out of it, or in this case two. Two happy couples, four contented people, and a whole lot of love in the little Kansas town of Smallville.

A/N : I hope that turned out the way you wanted it to. I am currently writing a new fic which will be a sequel to my first ever Smallville fic which I wrote a while ago called 'Chloe's Double Crush'. The sequel will be called 'And Baby Makes Trouble', so please look out for that soon. (and if you never read Chloe's Double Crush you might want to read that so that the new one makes sense!) Anyway please review this one and I'll be back with the new story soon.
