Thanks for all the reviews! I'm sooo happy!! ^__^

I had to get this out, I wrote it in my head during my Linguistics class because my teacher taught us about lexical semantics and lexicons and all I could think about was Lex!

Hope you all enjoy the next chapter and Happy Turkey- Day!

~A.M.

Lex sat in a sterile room of the Smallville hospital. No one had come to tell him what was wrong, so he was forced to wait. Lana had called him up that night and told him what had happened. Lex dropped everything and hurried over to the hospital. Lana couldn't leave work so that meant he had to go.

He looked over his shoulder as a doctor entered the room. "Mr. Luthor, sorry to keep you waiting. I'm going to need you to fill out what you can on here for me, were still waiting on her records from Metropolis, as soon as we have them we'll have a better idea of her situation."

Lex looked over the papers quickly, "What do you think caused it?" he asked.

"In my official opinion, her exhaustion was brought on by a lack of rest and food from what Miss Lang told the medics when they arrived earlier. Plus with what has happened in the past couple months she is probably both mentally and physically exhausted. She just needs rest. Once we have her records we can see if there is anything else that might have brought this on."

Lex thanked her as she left the room. It was already ten o'clock, how much longer was it going to take to get the records. He felt the time tick by slowly, "How much longer is this going to take?"

Lex left around one in the morning, the nurses told him he would have to come back in the morning. He finally gave up and left, returning early in the morning before he was scheduled to leave for Metropolis. A different doctor from the night before approached him, "We've got her records and I looked over them. We ran some tests on her earlier and everything is fine, she needs to rest more, eat properly, but that's about it. Her first trimester has been rather difficult for her and her doctor in Metropolis had ordered her to rest as much as possible. They apparently didn't know that she had left for Smallville," he explained.

It took Lex a moment to process all the information, "Trimester?" he asked.

"She hasn't said anything?" he asked. Lex shook his head.

"She's about two and half months pregnant."

If Lex hadn't had as much experience as he's had with surprises, he would have probably lost his composer. "She never said anything, I never even read about it in the papers."

"I'm certain it was something she didn't want spread. From my knowledge the father wasn't exactly thrilled, I don't even think her parents knew," he explained. Lex nodded, totally unsure how to handle the situation. He went into the room and sat down next to the bed. Abby stirred and turned over to face him, "Lex, what're you doing here?" she asked. "Lana called me last night and told me what happened, I was here last night but you didn't wake up so I decided to stop through on my way to Metropolis. How do you feel?" he asked.

"I feel fine, the doctors just told me that I need to rest more. That I was working myself to hard with everything that's happened," she said.

"Yes, a woman in your condition shouldn't be moving about so much."

Her surprise was almost concealed, but he caught it. "So they told you?"

"Yes, now why didn't you tell me, or any of us for that matter?"

"Wasn't your business, besides I was leaving today, I might not have been back so why would it have mattered?"

"Well, it explains the strange sandwiches," he joked.

"Not really, I've been eating them all my life."

He smiled slightly, "I have to go to Metropolis now, but when you want to go here's the number and my driver will bring you in," he said handing her a card. "Thanks Lex."

"I'll see you around. You better keep me updated!" he joked before leaving the room.

"Dr. Xavier, a moment of your time please," called the man as he entered the office. "Mr. Donaldson, what can I do for you?"

"I can't find Abigail anywhere, I was wondering if you've heard from her lately. I've been worried," he stated. "Actually, we just heard from a doctor over at Smallville Medical. Apparently she passed out yesterday, she's well, but I have no idea why she went out there, do you?"

"No, no I don't."

Abby was allowed to leave a few hours later; the Kents had practically forced it upon her to come stay with them. After she got her things from Lex's she went home with them where Mrs. Kent restricted her to the couch all day. She had confessed the real reason behind her passing out to the Kent's and Lana. Lana and Mrs. Kent were ecstatic, going on and on about babies and names.

"Well how come we never noticed, your clothes aren't big and baggy or anything so why wouldn't we notice?" Clark asked. The women rolled their eyes, "Clark, she's not far enough along, there's a tiny bulge but not enough to readily assume she's pregnant. She'll start showing a lot more real soon. Besides, not all women show real easily," his mom explained.

"Oh. Well is it a boy or a girl?" he asked.

"I don't know, I have to wait until the first trimester is over, then they can tell me. But I'm not sure I want to know."

"I think it should be a surprise, it's more exciting that way," Lana said.

Lana and Abby talked until Lana had to leave to go to work, "Too bad I won't have company working tonight, I'll stop by tomorrow before work," she said leaving.

"Okay, see you later."

Sitting in front of the television for most of a day was not something Abby was used to. "Wow, television is messed up." She finally settled on some old cartoons. She put her hand into her pocket and pulled out the contents. It was the card Lex had given her. She knew she would have to go to Metropolis soon, real soon. It was only a matter of time until 'he' would find her. Plus, she wanted to meet the man who might possibly be her real biological father.

Lana had told her the story of her approaching the man she felt was possibly her real father. Abby was scared and excited; Would he accept her? Would he even care? What would happen afterwards? Would they find out but go their separate ways or would he play a big part in her life?

No one would replace her parents, they adopted her, gave her a home, a family and a sound financial future.

However…now, she was a parentless, 21 year old single pregnant woman without a home.  She let her hand settle on the small bulge off her stomach. "I hope you'll never be like your father," she silently prayed.

Sorry for it being so short! I'll try and get another one out really soon!!!
