Epilogue:
~~~
*One year later*
The room was cold, sterile. The walls painted in an off-white beige, the floor covered with cheap carpet, and various out-of-date magazines were neatly arranged on the table. The receptionist was chewing gum and reading the latest edition of the Inquisitor.
Jonathan and Martha Kent sat silently in the waiting room. The situation was beyond belief, but that was the story of their lives. Jonathan was angry at the irresponsibility of the two, but Martha was content they would get through this. They had overcome all manner of obstacles and this one wasn't life threatening, or at least she hoped it wouldn't be.
Inside his office, cousin Luke finished his examination and quickly came to the conclusion that would change all their lives forever. The symptoms were classic: morning sickness, fatigue, frequent urination, and bloating. And due to the Clark's unique physiology, he had even borrowed an ultrasound machine from a colleague. They were definitely in for the ride of their lives and now came the hard part.
"Clark, Lana, I've got the results."
Lana and Clark look at each other in support before Clark answers.
"Okay, just tell us, no need to sugar-coat it."
"Your suspicions are correct."
They both look at each other again, this time in awe, and then in worry.
"There's a second heartbeat, and here's the ultrasound image I took."
Lana takes the picture and they both stare at it for a few minutes, the water behind her eyes threatening to break.
Clark falls off the chair as he faints, crashing onto the floor in disbelief.
Lana rushes over to tend to him. She had to take care of him, now more than ever.
Clark Kent was pregnant.
