A couple days after the trip to Metropolis, Clark still hadn't told his parents about what had happened. He was afraid of what they would say. He knew he had to know though, they were the only ones who could give him any sort of advice. He had spent much of his time in his fortress of solitude just contemplating on how to tell them. He had come up with numerous ways, but decided to just go with the ultimate truth.

He walked down the stairs to the main barn, and then made his way into the house where both of his parents were in the kitchen.

"Mom, Dad, I need to talk to you guys."

Both Martha and Jonathon looked up at him, it was Jonathon who spoke.

"What is it Clark?"

Clark paced back and forth a couple of times before finally sitting down at the table with his parents.

"I did something, and because of that, I need to tell someone about my abilities"

Martha had a confused look on her face

"What do you mean?"

Looking at the table, Clark brought his hands up to run through his hair before looking back up at his parents.

"About a month ago Lex, Chloe and I all had, well, we all got naked with each other."

Clark couldn't bring himself to say that they had sex.

"Well, neither Lex or I wore condoms, and well Chloe got pregnant. Lex had us go to Metropolis where he had a paternity test done."

Jonathon started to protest but Clark cut him off

"Don't worry dad, I didn't give a sample, only Lex did. Any ways, it came back negative for Lex, which means that I am the father of Chloe's baby."

Jonathon remained where he was, showing no change in his emotions.

"I can't say I approve Clark, because I don't. You made a mistake, who knows what could happen while carrying this child. You nor we have any idea what sort of effects she could experience. We don't know how long pregnancies are among your species, or anything else. This could endanger her life Clark, it may be possible that only Kryptonian women are able to carry your species children."

He had started calm and passive, but as he had gotten near the end of his little rant, Jonathon's voice was harsh and angry. Clark just looked like he wanted to cry

"Yes, I made a mistake dad, I know that. I can't change what happened though, all I can do is try and help her through this the best I can. Now, if you'll both excuse me, I have to be with the mother of my child."

Clark stood up from the table, and Martha went to follow him

"Clark wait..."

She was too late though, Clark had already super-sped out of the house. Martha turned back to Jonathon

"You could have been a little more supportive. Yes, he made a foolish mistake, but he came to us to admit it and ask us for help. You didn't have to point out all the things that could happen and push him away, Jor-El does that well enough without help from you."

Martha then left the room to leave Jonathon to think about what she had just said.

-----Meanwhile------

Clark was upset at the way his father had dealt with things. He had been expecting his dad to be less than pleased about it, but not to go off on the deep end. He had been so lost in a daze, that he almost super-sped right into Chloe's yard. He came back to reality just in time to stop out of sight. He walked normally the rest of the way up the drive and to the house where he knocked on the door.

It was Gabe who answered the door.

"Hello Clark, I assume you're here to see Chloe."

Clark nodded

"Yeah, I am"

Gabe nodded once

"She is up in her room, you can go on up"

Gabe stepped back so that Clark could come inside. Clark then headed upstairs, having been here before he knew exactly where Chloe's room was and he knocked outside the door.

"Chloe, can I come in?"

A moment later the door opened and Chloe stood on the other side.

"Hey Clark, come on."

Clark stepped inside as Chloe closed the door. Clark just looked her over a little.

"How have you been doing?"

Chloe looked down

"All right I guess, a little sick, but that apparently is a normal thing for early pregnancies."

Clark gave a very slight smile, barely more than just lifting the edges of his mouth. He was looking really nervous, and Chloe noticed it.

"What's wrong Clark?"

Clark deep several deep breaths.

"I have something I need to tell you Chloe, but, you should probably sit down."

-------------Yeah, I know, more cliffys, but hey, thats what keeps you guys interested even when I disappear for long lengths of time. I am going to try and not let anymore large gaps of time pass anymore, but I can not make promises, just know I will update when I can. Thanks for those of you who have stuck with me.-------------
