Chapter 6
Lois fell asleep, her head on Clark's chest. She dreamed about Lady Zara and the time she took Clark away from her. She dreamed about her wedding.
Than, suddenly something woke her up. She didn't realized at first. It took a few seconds to adjust. She looked at Clark. His eyes opened. He smiled at Lois. He wanted to talk, but he couldn't because there was a tube down his throat.
"Sttt... don't try to speak. It's okay. She kissed his forehead. I love you so much. Wait here, I'll get a doctor"
Lois came back with a doctor about 30 seconds later. He ran some tests and Clark seemed to be okay. He noticed the IV was no longer in his hand. There wasn't even a wound left.
"Okay Clark. Take a deep breath and when I tell you, you have to blow"
Clark did as him was told. The doctor did some more test, and finally left Lois and Clark alone.
Clark's voice was kind of hoarse because he was intubated for over a week. He whispered as he talked. "What happened?"
Lois swallowed because she felt a limb down in her throat. Clark noticed this and crapped her hand, holding it tight. "I don't know where to start. Is there anything you remember?"
"I remember that I found that box and that doctor Klein had told us that it was dangerous for me. I think I was at the Daily Planet, but I'm not sure"
"You were. You past out. An ambulance brought you here. We tried to find doctor Klein, but he was nowhere to be found so there was no choice. You where very sick, honestly.." Lois swallowed deeply again, as a few tears filled her eyes, "they thought you where going to die"
Clark squeezed Lois hand as she said the words. "But I didn't"
"No, you didn't. Thank God doctor Klein showed up in time with hope. He found out who did this to you and found a way to treat you"
Clark smiled weakly. "Who was it?"
"You would never guess if I made you. It was no human, but someone from New Krypton. A friend of Nor's. He was angry because of what happened with his friend. He managed to catch an kryptonian virus into the box and get it to earth. Zara and Ching found out about it, they helped doctor Klein to create an antibody and they have the guy in custody"
"Wow, I never..."
"I know, I didn't either"
"Where are my parents?"
"In our house. They came as soon as they heard. They've been here most of the time. I send them last night. They where totally exhausted. They wanted me to come with them, but I couldn't leave you alone"
"You've been here all the time?"
"Yes. I only left to take a bathroom break or to get something to eat. I couldn't leave"
Lois thought from the look on Clark's face, that he was going to get angry at her, but he didn't. He just said: "Thank you."
"You welcome"
"I feel that there's something you haven't told me yet"
Lois smiled. She hoped that he hadn't noticed, but of course he had. She wasn't planning on telling him this yet, although his body was recovering very fast, he was still weak.
"Lois?"
"Notting, really"
"Lois" Clark looked her straight in the eye. He knew she wasn't telling him the truth. Lois didn't knew how to tell him this. Everything they fought for, trying to keep this a secret. Now it was ruined. Their lives, everything changed, and Clark had no idea about that. She wanted to wait as long as possible telling him this. She wanted him to feel better first. But he knew her to well.
"Lois?"
"I don't know how to tell you this"
"Try me"
"You have no idea how much everything has changed..."
"What do you mean? What has changed?"
"Everything. I don't know how to tell you, but I think I can show you. You think you can stand up?"
"Yes, I think so, I feel much better already"
Clark stepped out of the bed. He felt kind of dizzy as he stood up for the first time. He grabbed Lois' hand for support. Slowly they walked to the window. Clark's mouth fell open as he saw all the people standing there. He didn't knew what Lois mend before, but now he had a pretty good idea.
"They know, don't they?"
"I'm afraid so" Lois took a chair so Clark could sit down. Than she got one herself. She started telling him the hole story. From the moment she arrived at the Daily Planet that day till today. Clark didn't interrupted her once. After she finished her story her eyes where filled with tears again.
"Everything will be okay again"
"How?"
"We can handle everything, as long as we're together we can handle this, you know that right?"
"Yeah, I think I do" Lois smiled as she watch her husband. He has some sort of power that can always make her feel better. She had know idea how he did it, but he did.
"People know the truth now. When I can get out of here, we'll give a press conference and tell the whole story. Of course we didn't wanted people to know about this, but let's look at it from the bright side, we don't have to lie again. When we have to leave because I hear something, we don't have to make it a secret. You understand me better since you know, so in the end, I hope, all people will"
"I hope you're right"
Clark smiled. Than he suddenly felt how tired he was. Lois noticed it too. "You should get some sleep"
"Yeah, I think I do"
Lois helped him back in bed, and climbed in herself as well. He hold her tight. She rested her head on his shoulder. For the first time she felt real safe again, and she felt that everything was going to be okay.
