-------Sorry for the lack of updates, my muse sort of died on me though, and then school started, and its been chaotic. I am going to TRY and update this somewhat regularly, but I cant make any promises though--------

Somewhere in the area of 45 minutes later the helicopter that Lex, Chloe and Clark were on landed on top of one of Metropolis's many hospitals, one that wasn't under Lionel Luthor's control, just the way Lex had planned it. He didnt want any word getting back to his father about what he had done with Chloe and Clark. He just knew it wouldnt go over well if his father found out about it.

Chloe had been fidgety the whole way over, clearly nervous about things that were going on. Clark was also nervous, if this child was his and his parents found out, he wasnt sure how they would react. Obviously he would need to tell Chloe his secret, but he didnt know if his parents would approve of that. He held a look of not being nervous though for Chloe's sake, and he just held her in his arms to reassure her that things would work out in the end.

Once they landed, Lex got out first followed by Clark, who in turn helped Chloe get out. With Lex leading the way, they all made their way into the hospital and towards the lab that Lex had called earlier.

Once their, they were immediately greeted by one of the hospitals doctors. Lex was the one who made the introductions.

"Hello Doctor Garner, this is Chloe Sullivan, the young girl I was telling you about and Clark Kent, her boyfriend. Clark, Chloe, this is Doctor Garner."

Considering the circumstances, Doctor Garner wasnt surprised when neither of the two made to shake his hand, but they did nod their heads in acknowledgement. Doctor Garner looked at them for a moment before speaking.

"For this to work I will need a DNA sample from both you Lex and you Clark."

Clark momentarily panicked, a DNA sample? That would give them the possibility of finding out he wasnt entirely human though. Lex noticed the odd look on his friend, but merely thought it was just nerves. He turned back to the doctor

"Doctor Garner, are you sure it wouldnt work if just I were to give you the sample to compare to. I am quite certain that Miss. Sullivan has not been with any other men."

The doctor thought about this for a moment

"Yes, I suppose that would work. All right, I will need that sample from you then Lex. Chloe, I am going to take you with me and I am going to get a nurse to put a small needle into your abdomen so a small amount of your amniotic fluid can be extracted. It will not harm you or the child, I just need it to compare to Lex's DNA."

Chloe closed her eyes and held tighter to Clark, but managed a weak nod of her head.

Doctor Garner looked sympathetically at her, he realized though he needed to get it finished or this girl probably never would be able to.

"We can do this now Chloe."

Chloe didnt seem to move, just kept clinging onto Clark. Clark looked down at her.

"Chloe, come on, you can do this. I will be right here when your done."

With a deep sigh, Chloe let go of Clark and followed the doctor through a set of doors.

After a couple of twists and turns through a few halls, Chloe found herself in an office. She wanted out though, she hated hospitals. She was laying in the bed for only a couple of moments when a nurse came in.

"Ok Chloe, just close your eyes and count to ten, this will be over really quick."

As Chloe started to count, the nurse put the needle into Chloe's abdomen, into her uterus. Chloe gripped the sides of the bed with the slight pain, but kept counting. Once she was done, she opened her eyes, and the nurse was done.

"That was good Chloe, now you will just need to take it easy for the next day or two, alright."

Chloe just nodded as the nurse left to take the contents of her needle to Doctor Garner. He had taken a swab of Lex's saliva while the nurse had been tending to Chloe. He took the needle from the nurse, and put a small amount of the fluid into a small tube. He put the swab he had taken from Lex into another, and put them both into a machine.

A few minutes later the results came back on a printout. Doctor Garner took the sheet and brought it with him to go see Chloe.

Chloe looked up when she heard the door open, she had been starting to fall asleep.

"Hey Chloe, I have the results"

Chloe only then saw the paper in his hand, the one he was handing to her now. Chloe took it and looked at the paper for a moment. She looked back up to the doctor

Doctor Garner just looked at her

"It is up to you Chloe if you want to tell them who the father is, it's your choice."

Chloe was silent for a moment, thinking about the pros and cons of doing it.

"I will, lead me to them."
