***Weddings and Answers (4 of 4)***

{Luthor Estate}

|Five Years Later, 2008 |

"The grounds look amazing, Martha." Lex told her appraisingly. Martha Kent smiled at Lex as she filled up a cup of punch for Cody, her four year old girl.

"Well Lex, it is your wedding." She commented. He smiled, pleased.

"I'm still trying to get use to that," he admitted. Who would've thought he would get married to Chloe Sullivan of all people? No one in Smallville, that was for sure.

After that amazing kiss they shared, Lex and Chloe had gone on three dates before declaring there being a couple. At first, many people were upset, especially Pete Ross. Many parents had questioned Gabe and his decision to allow Chloe to date him. Gabe, for his part, had told everyone who commented on it that he respected and admired Lex and knew he was a good man. Besides, he would often joke, how in the world did they think he was supposed to make Chloe stop seeing him? That, many admitted, would be a miracle. Chloe Sullivan was definitely her own person.

As for Pete, well after four weeks of Chloe, Lana, and Clark not speaking with him, he finally decided to give Lex a chance (after all, when the most popular girl in school is not speaking with you, you become something of a pariah. It was lonely). Clark arranged for a guys movie night at the estate. After ten hours of non-stop 'guy movies' Pete had gotten over his original misconceptions about his best friends boyfriend. Lex and Pete had become known for joking around about Lex's desire to become President of the United States. Pete said he'd be Vice President, Clark would be Secretary of Defense (Although Lex always got confused when they would start laughing about it), Chloe would be First Lady, and no one could decide what Lana would be.

Lionel Luthor had tried several tactics to get Chloe to stop seeing his son, but to no prevail. After the one year anniversary, Lionel and Lex officially stopped speaking. When Lionel had died in a plane accident in 2004, Lex had gone to the funeral out of media pressure but he refused to make comments on his father's death. Lex, as the sole heir, had inherited LuthorCorp and had to go to Metropolis every other day. After Chloe turned eighteen and had graduated, they had sorrowfully moved to the city for good. Clark, Lana, and Pete had more or less followed several months later to attend Metropolis U with Chloe.

Chloe had, not to anyone's surprise, decided to major in Journalism. Clark had as well, while Lana and Pete both finally decided to major in Business and Law, respectively. However, after one semester of the journalism professor constantly getting on her back, while favoring everyone else, Chloe changed her major to, of all things, Law. When Lex found out about her change of heart, he joked she definitely had it in her, she could argue the pants off a monkey grinder. She had just laughed.

They had been engaged for a little over seven months at that point and were still making the wedding plans. Both wanted the wedding to take place in Smallville and both wanted Martha and Jonathan Kent to cater the reception. In place of his own parents, Lex had asked the Kent's to sit in as his parents. They had readily agreed. Everyone in Smallville had been invited to the wedding with only a few people from out of town. Lana had been the Maid of Honor, Clark had been Best Man, and Pete had been a Groomsman. Little Cody Kent was one of the Flower Girls, much to her excitement. Gabe had given Chloe away and had convinced Chloe's mother, Nicole, to attend the wedding.

Chloe's mom had brought her new husband, Michael, as well as Chloe's stepbrothers, stepsister, and half brother and sister. Chloe's mom had a total of five children to take care of in New York, as well as Chloe in Smallville. It had taken some time, and two or three bottles of wine, but Chloe and her mother had come to an understanding. Chloe had forgiven her mother for taking off and not bothering to tell her about Michael, Jane Matthew, Jakob, Daniel, and Annie. Her mother, for her part, was just happy Chloe wasn't going to kick her ass for what she did.

Chloe had taken an instant liking to her little brother and sister and had insisted on making them part of the wedding. Daniel was made the ring bearer; Annie became the other flower girl. Chloe and her stepsiblings, however, did not get along. Jane, Matthew, and Jakob were use to having money; their father was a noted English Professor at NYU. However, finding out they had a stepsister and she was getting married to Lex Luthor, one of the richest men in the world, had caused jealousy, anger, and hurt to surface and they had become a major pain in Chloe's side. To try and show some friendliness to her stepsister, she had made her a Bridesmaid. However, nothing was going to sway them. Jane had blatantly flirted with Lex the entire time they had been in Smallville and Lex and Chloe were very happy they were leaving that night.

/Speaking of leaving./ Lex thought to himself. He looked around and finally found the blushing bride. She was being berated by Lana to 'throw the bouquet already!' Chloe looked up in gratitude and annoyance when Lex walked over.

"Actually, Chlo, I think now would be a good time. I told the chauffer to expect us at six and it's nearly six now." He reminded her. Chloe nodded.

"Alright. Pete! Could you announce the throwing of the bouquet and garter, please?" she begged. Pete nodded, grinning mischievously.

"Will all single and unmarried ladies please group together for the throwing of the bouquet?" he yelled. At once, all the single women hurried over to him. Chloe grinned. She nodded at them, glancing back to make sure she knew where Lana was, and turned. Taking a deep breath, she threw the bouquet over her head. She immediately twirled and saw Lana catch the roses and Jane try and snatch them away. Lana however, was too quick. Chloe immediately started clapping, hoping to stop Jane from making a complete fool of herself. Lex and Clark joined in and Jane walked away, looking dejected.

"Will all single and unmarried men please gather for the throwing of the garter?" Pete yelled once all the woman had cleared. A blushing Clark and a grinning Pete were pushed to the front by Lex and Jonathan. Lex then walked over and teasingly pulled off the garter. It took five minutes. By the time it was off, Chloe was glaring murderously at her husband, who just grinned cheekily back. Jonathan and Gabe were chuckling at the pair, while Martha and Chloe's mom just shook there heads.

Lex smiled at the group, made sure he knew where Clark was, then turned around and threw the garter. Chloe, Lana, and Martha's shrieks of delight told him before he even turned around that Clark had caught it. He twirled and smirked at Clark's red face and Lana who was getting congressed on by all the women. Jonathan and Gabe walked over to Lex.

"Lex, we wanted to give this to you. Treat it well." Jonathan told him, handing Lex a bottle of expensive wine. Lex smiled, pleased. Gabe nodded.

"Have Chloe and you open it on the plane." He told him. Lex nodded. He looked around but couldn't find his wife. A pair of slender arms wrapping around his waist and all the other people walking to the front told him exactly where she was. He turned.

"Chloe. You changed." he commented. She smirked.

"How astute your observations are." She grinned, smoothing down her skirt. She had changed out of her ivory and rose wedding gown and into a black knee length skirt, silver blouse, and black jacket. She handed him a small bag and smiled.

"A change of outfit. For when we get on the jet." She told him. He smiled.

"Lex! Chloe! Come on, the limo's here!" they heard Clark yell. Laughing, they walked through the house and kissed.

"I love you Chloe." Lex murmured into Chloe's hair right before they ran to through the line of people with rice (Chloe's idea).

"I love you too, Lex!" she laughed as they ran.

{Hawaiian Honeymoon Suite}

| Later that Night |

Chloe smiled as she looked out the window of the Honeymoon suite. She tilted her head when she heard the bathroom door open. She smiled as her husbands strong arms wrapped around her middle.

"Hey honey. What are you thinking about?" Lex smiled into her shoulder. Chloe giggled.

"I was just thinking about the bet." Lex laughed softly as Chloe turned around.

"I never expected this to happen when I agreed to that bet." He murmured. She smiled.

"Neither did I, but I don't regret it." she told him. He nodded in consent.

"Agreed." He got a thoughtful look.

"Ya know, you never told me the answer." He reminded her. She blinked, and then grinned.

"First, you should know something. I went to the doctor yesterday. Lex, ya know when we got slightly---tipsy?" she asked him impishly. He nodded, bemused.

"Well, we're a family of two now, but in seven months, were gonna be a family of three." She told him. Lex went stock still, shock written over his face as he processed the news. He looked down at her.

"You're pregnant?" he asked dumbly. She nodded, amused. She was glad she had waited to tell him, his reaction was exactly what she expected.

"I'm going to be a father?" he asked. She nodded.

"And I'm going to be a mommy." She reminded him. He nodded, a grin spreading across his face. He picked her up and twirled her around the room. When they had finally calmed down and had collapsed on the bed, Chloe turned to Lex.

"Now, don't you want to know the answer to the riddle?" she asked. He blinked then nodded.

"You're going to kick yourself." She warned. He shrugged.

"Nothing." She stated. He looked at her, puzzled. She nodded.

"Nothing. Nothing is greater than God. Nothing is more evil than Satan, although your father came very close." Lex snorted. Chloe grinned and continued.

"The poor have nothing. The rich need nothing. And if you eat nothing, you'll die." She told him. Lex nodded, but he looked really annoyed.

"Sorry, dear." She told him, not sorry at all. He shrugged, pulled her close to him, and kissed her senseless.

"I'll kick myself later."

{Metropolis Hospital}

| Seven Months Later |

Clark, Lana, Pete, Martha, Jonathan, Cody, and Gabe were impatiently waiting for information on Chloe and the baby. It had been ten hours since Chloe had gone into labor and Lex had disappeared behind the hospital doors with his wife.

"How long does this take?" Clark asked. Gabe smiled.

"Chloe took over forty-eight hours to get into this world." Clark paled while Gabe smiled.

"I believe the saying is Payback's a b-rat!" Lana quickly corrected herself when she saw Cody staring at her. Martha chuckled but everyone stopped laughing when the doctor walked in.

"Mrs. Luthor is resting and Mr. Luthor is having his hand wrapped. It seems Chloe broke a few of his bones." He chuckled. Clark and Pete laughed, long and hard, at that piece of news.

"I don't find it very funny." Lex grumbled as he walked over to the group. The smile on his face, however, betrayed his annoyance.

"How is she?" Gabe and Martha asked at the same time. Lex smiled.

"Resting. And trying to stop apologizing. The meds did a number on her senses." He commented dryly. Jonathan chuckled.

"And the baby?! What about the baby?" Cody demanded. Lex eyes brightened and a huge smile lit up his face.

"Why don't we go see her?" he suggested. Gabe gasped.

"A little girl? She had a little girl? I have a granddaughter?" he asked, stunned. Lex nodded and the group walked to the nursery. Lex' immediately pointed to one of the nurses who was just taking a bundle from one of the incubators. The nurse looked up and smiled. She did a few things then walked out of the room. She walked over and quietly handed the bundle to Lex. Lex moved the pink cloth and proudly displayed his little girl for all to see.

"Ohhhh, she's so tiny." Lana cooed. As the woman 'oohed' and 'ahhhed' over the little bundle and the men slapped Lex on his back, they moved toward Chloe's room. She was the perfect blend of her parents. Her head had little tufts of pale red hair and her eyes were decidedly pale green, like her mothers. Lex went into the room first and the rest followed. Gabe immediately hugged his daughter and Lana followed suite. Lex sat down and handed his daughter to her mommy. Chloe held the little girl and everyone soon quieted down. Finally, Cody asked the question on everyone's mind.

"Auntie Chloe, what's her name?" Chloe smiled tiredly at the little girl. Glancing at Lex, who didn't know what Chloe had chosen, and smiled.

"Well, we decided that I would give her her first name and Lex would give her one of her middle names; she has three. The other two are from her Godmother's, which we both decided on. By the way, she has two. Godmothers that is. Lex, what did you choose?" she slightly rambled. Lex smiled.

"Nicole. After your mother." He told her. Chloe smiled, pleased.

"Well, since she is a Luthor, I decided theirs only one name that will suit her. So say hello to Lillian Nicole Lana Martha Luthor." She told them proudly. Lex smiled at her, pleased, while Lana and Martha sniffled and everyone else nodded approvingly. Lex bent down and kissed his sleepy wife on the forehead. The women were wiping the tears from their eyes, and the men were shaking their heads at the woman.

Finally, one little girl was staring up at all the big people with wonderment and pleasure in the fact that these people were her family. They would take care of her, spoil her, and love her. She yawned, causing Lana to 'ahhh.' She gave a small nod that no one noticed.

Life was good.

And it was just getting started.

Author Notes: Well? What did ya'll think? Did you like the name? My friend has three middle names, four last names, and one first name so I decided, for some strange reason, to give Lex and Chloe's daughter three middle names. Also, not sure of Chloe's eye color but in this, it's green. BTW, I'm not entirely sure what Chloe's mom's name is, or where she is or anything, but I decided to have her in this. If you have a problem with it, let me know, but don't expect me to change it. Expect the tankies next week. Also, if you want a sequel, let me know. Always me, BashfulC!
