Lex was waiting out side of the manor for his father to come out to the limo. He was just about to go back inside when his father walked out in the suit. Lex had to hold back his laughter at the site. His father had everything form the beard to the red nose and cheeks. He would almost look kind if you ignored the deadly look on his face

"Come on dad lets try your Merry Christmas" Lex said smirking

"Shut up Lex and remember what I said I will get you back for this." Lionel told him getting into the limo

"Well I'm sure the kids will love you" Lex said scarcasticly

Finally they got to the hospital and Lex walked in first to talk to the receptionist. Finally after turning down every pass she made at him, he walked back out to get his father.

"Everything is in order father they are ready for you to come in now and there is no media in sight." he told him

"Fine" was the only answer Lionel gave

They walked in and talked to the doctor in charge of the event. Luckily for Lex Mrs. Kent was already briefing the doctor on all the requirements that Lionel had demanded. That gave Lex a chace to look around. It reminded him of most mall set ups. A big red chair with toys all around the only thing that was out of the ordinary was the huge Luther Corp banner. 'There isn't even going to be press here and he had to have a banner' Lex thought shaking his head. Of course his father even had one in the Christmas cards he used to send out when Lex was younger. Tying hard not to think of Christmases past he looked around for Chloe or Clark. He saw that Clark was standing with his father, Mr. Kent looked almost giddy. Lex smiled and nodded at Clark and Clark smiled back and then Clark pointed towards the entrance. Lex turned around to see Chloe arguing with the woman at the fount desk.

"I'm sorry but Mr. Luther made it clear that there was to be no media that includes cameras" the woman was telling Chloe

"But I'm not media I'm here to meet Lex Luther he told me to bring the camera for personal use." Chloe told the woman

"And why would Luther, Jr., want you to bring a camera?" the woman asked rudely

"Because I can't take pictures and I'm blessed with a girlfriend who can" Lex said coming to stand next to Chloe wrapping his arm around her waist. The woman stared for a moment and then mumbled an apology. Lex smirked and Chloe just beamed as they walked off. Chloe could feel the woman glare at her back.

"Sorry about that my father was ready to have bodyguards at the entrance to keep media away" Lex told her

"Thats OK but I guess you have forgotten to tell him your dating the editor of the high school news paper" Chloe said

Lex barley flinched at the words not only because of the fit his father would pitch if he found out that Lex was dating a reporter. But because he hated being reminded that Chloe was in high school he hated the small feeling he got that he was taking away her youth and forcing her to grow up to fast.

"Lex? Are you OK" Chloe's voice snapped him out of his thoughts

"I'm fine Chloe just thinking" he told her giving her a smile as they walk over to wear Clark now stood with Lana and Pete.

The five of them talked for a while until it was time for the event to happen. Finally the kids entered the room they would lined up by age ranging for 2 to 10. 'This is going to be good.' Lex thought
