This and the rest of the chapters will be considerably happier than the
first two, you have my word. Yup, I'm still going backwards. Incredibly
fluffy chapter, read at your own risk. I don't own Smallville, Lex or
Chloe. Maybe I'm Amazed is written and sung by Sir Paul McCartney. Totally
recommend you download it, it's one of the greatest love songs eva. So
good, I won't even spell correctly.

She smiled goofily at herself, her head against his slowly rising chest, blond wisps strewn messily around her face, and only a blanket to cover her torso. "Lex?" she whispered, wondering if he were still awake. "Hm?" he mumbled sleepily, absentmindedly stroking her hair. "What if I were--- I got really fat? And we had to buy a minivan? How--- would you like that?" Lex laughed quietly in the dark room, and she could feel his chest vibrating against her cheek, lulling her to sleep. "Chlo, you're not making any sense," he yawned tiredly. Chloe bit her lip to keep from grinning wildly and screaming what she wanted to say. "I mean," she started carefully, "What if I were like, pregnant or something. What would you like, say?" "Well," Lex said, starting to fall asleep, "I'd say we're not ready to have a baby. Busy enough, as it is without a little you running around. Night, Chlo," he mumbled, ruffling her hair.
Chloe sat up suddenly, and stared at the half-asleep Lex. "What?" she exclaimed loudly, starting to get up and searching the floor for her underwear. Lex, much to his confusion, opened his eyes again, and said bewildered, "Well, yeah. We're not ready for a baby. They're such a hassle. We just got married 6 months ago. Let's practice baby-making some more before we get into it," he said, grinning at her mischievously. Chloe huffed annoyed at him. "How could you say that? How could you not want a baby? I can't believe--- you--- jerk!" By now, she had wrestled on her pajama bottoms and t-shirt, and was glaring at him with her hands on her hips. Lex started sitting up. "Chloe, why are you getting so emotional about this?" "Well being emotional is just what pregnant women do!" she shouted, before heading out and slamming the bedroom door.

"Can't believe him," she muttered to herself, finding her coat in the dark and sauntering quickly out the front door. It was a cool night, and the world was completely still and dark as it slept, except for the stars that twinkled above. Chloe shivered inside her jacket, and walked down the long road, not knowing where she was headed. She'd been walking for several minutes, muttering things to herself such as "Stupid moron" and "How dense could he be?" when car lights came up behind her and the car slowed down. Lex stepped out, wearing just a t-shirt and pajama bottoms. Chloe ignored him, continuing to walk quickly and muttering to herself.
"Chloe," Lex shouted to her, "Chlo, c'mon wait. Stop. Chloe!" He jogged up to her, grabbing her shoulders. Chloe turned around, angry, ready to hit him, but not expecting him to lower his head to hers and start kissing her fiercely, and Chloe forgot what she was going to do. After several minutes, he came back up, grinning widely at her. "We're having a baby?" She couldn't be angry with him anymore. "We?" she said teasingly, raising an eyebrow, "Who said it was we? The baby may not be yours." Lex gave her a rolls-his-eyes look without actually rolling his eyes. Chloe couldn't help but smile now, smile like she could do it forever, and nodded. "We're having a baby."
If possible, Lex's grin grew even wider, and he suddenly hoisted her up, and spun her around, her hair flying in the wind, until she laughed so hard there was tears in her eyes and the stars were a blur. "We're having a baby!" Lex screamed into the night sky, "I'm going to be a father!" The stars twinkled in response. They were both laughing when he gently put her down again, and he gave her a sheepish look. "That was probably not good for the baby." Chloe laughed loudly, and wrapped her arms around Lex, putting her head on his chest. Lex rested his head on her tangled mass of hair, and started rocking from side to side, all the time holding Chloe. "What are you doing?" she murmured against his chest, her legs automatically rocking in rhythm with Lex's. "Dancing," he said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Chloe smiled. "There's no music." "Sure there is," he said into her hair, and began singing quietly to her. "Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time. maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you. maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time. and hung me on a line. maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you..."
A boy and a girl in love were dancing in the middle of the road in their pajamas, car humming in the background, as the stars shone for them.

Please review if you have the time. Thanks, as always, for reading. The next chapter may take a long time to write because it's their wedding, and I have no idea how to work with that. Any suggestions would be great. :)
