A/N: I've been asked to clarify the time line. Um, there isn't one. This story is utterly random. Each chapter is from a specific time in Lex and Chloe's relationship, but it doesn't follow any order at all. I've done my best to make sure that it's clear if they're just dating or married or what ever the case may be in each chapter -it might be something as small as some one referring to Lex as Chloe's 'boyfriend' rather than husband, but I'm fairly certain it's there every time (if not, I apologize). For further clarification, their relationship starts after Chloe's done with high school, though Lex has been attracted to her for some time. They date through her college career and are married not too long after. They are married when their first child is born and have been for a few years (I mention it some where, but I can't remember the exact number off the top of my head). Does that help? Is it still about as clear as mud? I'm more than happy to explain further if need be. Also. . .I have been working on some Lex POV stuff that I'm thinking about making into it's own story, rather than integrating it here, which my original plan. I want to use 'Beginnings' as a jumping point and see what happens. Maybe I'll try to keep this one in order. Be looking for that sometime with in the next few days. After the sixteenth you probably won't hear much from me because I'm going home for a few days (yay!). After the weekend though I'll probably have about a million updates. Wait, is this author's note longer than the actual chapter? That's freakish. Anyway, have a great week everybody and Single Awareness Day!
