The next morning, her apartment building was flooded with press.  All of them wanting to find out who that woman in the picture with Lex Luther was.  She groaned when she peaked out the window.  All the exits were covered.  Of course she couldn't blame them.  She would have been in that group, trying to get a story if it had been someone else.  Anthony was playing in his room oblivious to the chaos outside.  She called Lex to figure out what to do.

"Hello" said the familiar voice,

"Lex, its Chloe, you were right, it is a circus out there."

"Hold on, I'll be right over"

"No, Lex, you could never get into the building. Stay there, I have an idea"

"What's you idea?"

"Just stay there, I'll call you right back" she hung up the phone. She picked up the phone and held it for a minute.  'Would he really help me?' she dialed the number anyway.

"Clark Kent"

"Clark, I need you help"

'Chloe? Are you ok, why is there a picture of you a Lex in the every tabloid in the city?"

"Well because some idiot follow Lex and took advantage of a perfect opportunity.  He really did purpose to me Clark."

"You didn't say yes did you?"

"As a matter a fact I did." She was getting annoyed with him. "Clark there are reporters everywhere, there is no way I can go story hunting with them out there." in the background she heard what she didn't want to hear "Clark give the phone" "Lois, no, she's my friend" "what do you mean Clark we can get an exclusive"

 "Hi Lois Lane, Daily Planet, Miss Sullivan can I ask you a few questions?" Chloe cringed as she heard Lois's voce on the phone. "I was talking the Clark," she said.  "And no I am not going to give you the exclusive.  Now put Clark back on the phone."

"Chloe? Sorry about that, she gets little pushy sometimes. Ouch! Lois" Chloe laughed.  The man of steel getting beat up by is soon to be wife.

"Well will you help me?"

"What do you suggest I do?"

"I don't know, pick them up and fly them to the moon.  Or tell them that the picture was a fake. I don't know, something. Look Lex wanted to come down but there is no way they would let him in. Please Clark?"

"Ok, I'll see what I can do" he said. 

"Thank you Clark," she said with a smile. Just then there was a bang at the door. "Clark, hurry."  She walked over to the door and looked out the peephole. The hallway was filled with reporters, pushing and shoving to be the one at the door. 'This is getting out of hand.' She picked up the phone and called Lex.  "Lex? They are trying to brake down the door. What do I do?"

"Take the phone in the bedroom, and get Anthony in there.  I'm coming over"

"No Lex, they will tear you apart."  But the phone was dead. "Hello, Lex? Oh no."

"Mommy, what is the noise?" Anthony came into the room holding onto his favorite teddy bear. 

"Is nothing sweetie. Go play."

            When he was safely back in his room she went to the door.  'They are still out there' she groaned when she looked out the peephole again.  'What am I going to do?' Then she saw something that she could never believe. Everyone out side the door got up can ran down the hall. "Chloe, open up is Clark"

"Clark!" she flung the door open and pulled him in.  "What did you tell them to get them to leave?" 

"I yelled that you had just pulled out of the garage." 

Chloe smiled. "Thanks Clark.  I owe you one." She picked up the phone and punched in a few numbers. "Lex? Where are you?"

"I am about 5 minutes away."

"Turn around and go back.  Its ok here.  Clark made them think I had slipped out."

"Oh he did, did he" there was the sound of annoyance in his voice. "Is that who you called." 

"Yes, Lex, they are all in front of the building, you shouldn't come.  We should wait until this all dies down to start planning anything."

"Ok your right. I'll talk to you tomorrow?"

"Yeah she said with a smile.  "Talk to you later.  Bye"

            She slid into her chair with a sigh. After seeing the Clark was still there she said, "Thank you again Clark."

"Hey what are old friends for?" he said.  "Are you sure you want to marry Lex Luther?"

"Clark, don't start.  Yes, I'm sure.  He is the father of my son, and he wants to be apart of our life.  What do you have against him anyway? What did he do that caused you two to stop talking to each other?"

"It's a long story, Chloe." He said as he sat a crossed from her.

"Does Lois know about your other job?"

"What! What kind of question is that?"

"I was just wondering.  Lex doesn't know. At least I don't think he does.  He is really pissed about that hole you made in his office.  And you scared the crap out of me and Anthony."

"Sorry I didn't realize you were there."

"I take it you found Lois.  She did steal the phone from you."

"Yeah. She was all right. She got caught in a freezer down town." 

Chloe laughed. "A freezer downtown. Wow, maybe she would look for a new career, she's losing her touch."

"Ha ha, yeah. You could say that.  But no, she doesn't know yet. And I should probably go." He got up and headed for the door.  "She thinks I'm out to get coffee."

"Thanks again Clark." She walked with him to the door. "I'll see you around"

"Bye Chloe" he said as he slipped out of the door and down the hall. The reporters had left.  Someone had finally called the police who told the crowd to leave. Which they did.  With the headache over for now, she gathered something stuff and loaded Anthony into her car.  'Better break the news to dad in person.  Hopefully he hasn't read the papers'
