Epilogue

Chloe walked into Lex's penthouse, giving Lex a light kiss on the lips before sitting down next to him on the expensive leather sofa. It was Christmas, eight month since the whole Victoria incident. Chloe and Lex had decided to spend the Christmas holidays together in Metropolis. In a few days Lila was coming down from Toronto to spend some quality time with her brother and father. Everything had worked out so well after Victoria was arrested. Clark finally told all of them the truth. Needless to say everyone was shocked, especially Lana, who was saddened by the fact her boyfriend didn't tell her the truth. But she understood his reasons, as did everyone else.

It had been a long day at school for Chloe and she rested her head on Lex's shoulder as he stroked her blonde hair. He was unusually quiet.

Chloe sat up, looking intensely at him. "What's wrong?" she asked.

Lex sighed. "Victoria gave birth yesterday." He answered grimly.

Chloe frowned. After Victoria was arrested, she became extremely unstable. And the doctors advised against any medical procedure to determine the paternity of the child.

"So…" Chloe bit her lips, and looked down at the carpet.

"It's not mine." Lex answered flatly.

Chloe quickly looked up. "Your father's?" she inquired.

"No." He answered.

Chloe gave a slight frown. "Then who's is it?"

Lex rubbed his head. "I don't know. But I'm guessing it was a fling."

"What is going to happen to the child?" asked a concerned Chloe.

"He'll be raised by Victoria's grandparents."

Chloe frowned and opened her mouth to ask something, but Lex knew the question before any words left her mouth.

"Don't worry." Lex assured. "Victoria's grandparents are good people, unlike Victoria and Sir Harry. They'll take good care of the child."

Chloe looked at Lex with concern, noticing a sadness in his voice.

"You wanted this child to be yours, didn't you?" she asked.

 "Yes." He answered. Giving her a sad smile. But it quickly turned into a smirk. "But I'm sure we'll have plenty of children later." He teased.

Chloe's mouth dropped open and her eyes grew big. She hit him playfully on the arm. "Who said I want to have your children Luthor?"

Lex smiled. "But I do love to practice with you." He teased back, pulling her into his arms and placed light kisses down her neck.

"Well." Chloe said in a teasing tone, pulling out of Lex's embrace. "If you ever get me pregnant mister, I'll never sleep in your bed again."

Lex chuckled. "That's an empty threat and you know it Sullivan." He pulled Chloe back into his arms. "And besides." He added, "We never do a lot of sleeping anyway." Chloe smirked. Lex pushed back a lock of hair from her face, and kissed her firmly on the lips.
