A/N: It's a short chapter, I know, but hey, I'll give you what I can!
Well, since nobody (not even my loyal reviewers, that makes me sad!) didn't review the last three chapters the whole three days I was away (I had one new review, after I got home), then the contest is over. I have announced the sex of the baby, and the name that Clark and Lex have come up with, coming up in chapter 13. So read and review, once I hit 20 reviews, I will contine on with chapter 14
"Clark, is everything alright?" Jonathan called from the kitchen where he heard the screen door slam shut.
"No Dad, it's not. I told Lex everything." Clark said, sitting down at the table and taking a bite of the apple he'd just taken from the fruit bowl.
"And what happened, Son? How did Lex take it?"
Clark laughed bitterly. "As well as I expected. He was weirded out, he threw me out of the mansion and forbid me to come anywhere near him. He also told me he'd contact me when he ready to talk." he sighed, biting into the apple.
"I'm sorry Son, but Lex deserved to know and I thought now was a good time." Jonathan told him.
Clark sighed. "Maybe so Dad, but at the rate Lex is going, by the time he stops being angry at me, he'll have forbidden me to have anything to do with this child. He can't do that Dad, he can't keep me from my own child!"
"And he won't, Clark. I may not be too fond of Lex, but he never got along with his father and his mother died when he quite young. He knows that you never knew your birth parents. Lex knows what its like to be unloved, Clark. Not that you're unloved, but he hates Lionel Luthor and has never felt loved by him. He wouldn't do that to this child, Lex is better than that." Jonathan explained.
Clark listened intently, nodding and polishing off the last of his apple. "I hope you're right Dad, I really do."
Jonathan clapped Clark on the shoulder. "Give him a few days, the news just shocked him, that's all. Give him time, everything will work out for the best."
