Discoveries

A/N: This chapter takes place three weeks after the activities that Lex, Clark, and Chloe shared together. It seems like a good amount of time, because it's a time that Chloe would get a positive pregnancy test.

Chloe gave a small stretch of her muscles as she woke up from her sleep. She took a look at the clock beside her. It read 11:00 a.m. Sure it was a Saturday, but still, Chloe was up a lot earlier than that on a usual day. She shook it off though, thinking it was just her body catching up on sleep. She had after all been feeling a little run down lately. She got out her bed as she padded her way to the bathroom. Just outside the door, she had a wave nausea come over her. She rushed into the bathroom, closing the door behind her with her foot as she leaned over the toilet and expelled the contents of her stomach.

Lana just happened to have come out of the room as this happened. She went to the door and lightly knocked.

"Chloe, are you all right?"

Chloe didn't respond, she was still bringing up bile from her stomach. Lana opened the door and took in the sight in front of her.

"Chloe, are you ok?"

Her tone was more concerned this time. After a moment Chloe stood up and flushed the toilet.

"I don't know Lana. This is the fourth time this week this has happened. I just don't know what's wrong."

Chloe would be lying if she said she didn't have ANY idea at all what could be wrong, but it wasn't like she could tell Lana what she, Clark, and...Lex had done. She decided that she had to be sure, and know for certain.

"Look, don't worry Lana. It's probably just stomach flu or something."

Chloe's voice sounded more confident than she felt, which was a good thing in her case. She headed back to her room to get dressed.

"I am going to go out, maybe the fresh air will do me some good."

Lana gave a small nod of agreement as she made her way into the bathroom. Meanwhile, Chloe went into the room and chose out an outfit for the day. She looked at the clock before she left. 11:30. Between being sick, and talking to Lana it had taken half an hour. She just gave a light shake of her head and she headed out.

By 12:30 Chloe was in the main part of Smallville. She parked her car outside of a drugstore and walked inside. She had intended to go straight for the pregnancy tests, but then a thought struck her. Smallville was a really small town, and word travelled fast. What if someone told about her buying the test? She brushed this off, she needed the test, she had to know. She walked to the aisle they were in and she picked one up. She then walked to the counter and waited in line. When it was her turn, she placed it on the counter while the price was rung up. She payed for it and was able to leave without any questions being asked. She breathed a sigh of relief as she walked out of the store.

She now scanned the street for somewhere she could actually do the test. She decided that the Beanery was the only place she could think of. Too many people she knew went to the Talon. She walked into the Beanery and made for the washroom with the bag in her hand.

She went into one of the stalls in the bathroom and opened the box from the bag. She carefully removed everything. She did the step-by-step instructions and waited for it to finish. When the prescribed time had passed Chloe looked at the results. When she saw it, she nearly passed out. There were two possible symbols that would have shown. A minus sign if you weren't pregnant, and a plus sign if you were. The symbol on the test that Chloe held in her hand was a plus sign. Her night with Lex and Clark had left her pregnant. She didn't know what to do. She didn't even know whose baby it was. She shook her head. She had to tell them. They had a right to know. She just didn't know how. Very slowly, Chloe walked out of the bathroom, and then exited the store. She went to her car and got in. She placed her hands on the wheel and just took several deep breaths to calm her nerves before inserting her key into the ignition and starting the car. Instead of heading home, she took the road that led to the Luthor mansion.

A/N: I am sorry for really only having Chloe in this chappy, it was needed to advance the plot, it just seemed more IC for Chloe to do the test by herself rather then having anyone else know she was doing it. I promise you will see Clark and Lex in the next chapter. Also, sorry it's so short, my muse just hasn't been with me for a while, and I was only hit with inspiration for this small part. I am on March Break though, so more chappies should be coming soon. :)
