After a couple of hours Martha went upstairs to check on Clark and Lana and see how everything was going. She opened the door and found Clark sleeping on the bed and Lana sleeping in the rocking chair by the bed. Martha grabbed a blanket from the linen closet and draped it over Lana. Lana stirred momentarily and woke up.
"Is Clark ok?" Lana said startled.
"Yea, Clark is still sleeping. Mr. Kent and I are going to head over to the hospital to see Chloe. If you are Clark needs anything, I have Clark's cell still so you can call us then." Martha said.
"Ok, if you need anything call me I guess." Lana said.
"I'll check in when we get to the hospital." Martha said.
"See you later Mrs. Kent." Lana said.
"Bye Lana." Martha said.
Lana's eyes then drooped closed and fell back to sleep and Martha quietly closed the door and headed out to the truck where Jonathan was waiting.
When they arrived at the hospital they picked up their gowns and headed into Chloe's room.
Chloe had just woken up an hour ago for her meds and pressure checks on her skin to make sure it was healing properly. Over the past month and a half Chloe was making significant progress with healing and also with movement. She was updated by Pete who came regularly and The Kent's who stopped searching for Clark in order to make sure she was comfortable. In her mind the Kent's were saints. Lana had appeared several times with the Kent's but didn't say much to her. As far as Chloe was concerned Lana was terrified of hospitals even when she had been in the hospital on several occasions herself.
"Chloe, you're healing nicely. We never expected how quickly you would recover from all the skin grafts." Martha said as she and Jonathan came into the room.
Chloe then smiled and responded, "Thanks Mrs. Kent."
"Well, Chloe we have some good news." Mr. Kent said.
Chloe's eyes widened in anticipation for what they were about to tell her.
"What is it?" Chloe asked.
"We found Clark." Martha said excitedly.
"Really, I... I... I'm so happy for you." Chloe said as tears started falling down her cheeks. "I don't know what else to say."
"You've really said enough. We're just glad we have almost everyone back in one piece." Jonathan said.
Chloe reached over to grasp the Kent's hands.
"If you need anymore help with Clark or anything, Please feel free to let me know. I might not be able to help right away but I can help in the virtual sense." Chloe said.
As she said this she pulled out her laptop.
"I can always help out with the finances or something. I'm not the greatest at math but I'm sure I can help. Or I could help with other things like making fliers or anything. You've been the greatest strength to me and I would like to help with anything." Chloe said.
"Chloe we really appreciate what you can do for us but all we want from you right now is for you to recover." Mr. Kent said.
"Thanks Mr. Kent." Chloe said. "How's my dad?"
"He's still in the burn unit at Metropolis General and still in a coma. The doctors say he's recovering nicely as you are but his head trauma was far worse than yours." Martha said.
"I'm sure he'll slowly come out of the coma." Jonathan said
"I hope he'll come out of it." Chloe said.
Chloe then slowly started to cry and Jonathan wrapped his arms around her to support her.
"It's a lot of news in a little amount of time." Martha said.
Chloe sniffled and then said, "I'm glad Clark is ok. I didn't know what I would do without him."
"We're glad too." Martha said. "Are you sure you wouldn't want to be home with Clark right now. I must be taking up a lot of your time that you should be with Clark." Chloe said.
"It's important to us that we came and saw you. Clark would have done it." Martha said.
Just then the cell phone rang. Martha clicked it on.
"Hello, Lana, is everything alright?" Martha said.
Martha paused to hear Lana's end of the conversation and then responded, "We'll be right home. Bye"
"Chloe we should be going. Clark has woken up and wants to talk to us." Martha said.
"Well I won't keep you any longer. Just remind that boy of yours that I'd like to see him when he's ready." Chloe said with a smirk.
"Thanks Chloe, we're glad you're doing so well. We'll come and see you again tomorrow." Martha said.
"Thanks for coming, I really appreciate it." Chloe said.
Martha and Jonathan both hugged Chloe and left the hospital room.
