A/N: Finally, another chapter. Sorry to have kept you all waiting on the final few chapters but I was out of ideas, and last night, I wanted to continue so I just started writing and what you see before you is the product of that. The name of this story has also been changed from My Crazy Life to Always and Forever, because it fit the story better.

Dedication: Thanks, as always, to my loyal reviewers, its because of you that I continue writing and its because of your support why this story is finished.

Sorry for the delay in getting the rest of the story up, I finished it two days ago but wouldn't let me login in for some reason until today.

Chapter 14

a few months later

"Clark?" Lex called from the loft.

"Yeah Lex?" Clark asked, heading into the barn from working in the field.

Lex suddenly doubled over in pain. "I think we need to get to the hospital." he replied.

Clark stood there in shock, unable to move. He wasn't sure what to do, and he wasn't even sure if he'd heard the words right. But when he looked up into Lex's eyes again and saw Lex squirming about in pain, something in his mind registered. He knew this was it. Its coming. Panicing, he ran the stairs three at a time. Even though Lex now knew about his powers, he still didn't feel comfortable using them in front of him. "Okay, okay, lets go." he said, trying to keep his voice calm, but inside, he was a nervous wreck. He was about to become a father, what man wouldn't be nervous? And it wasn't the most natural way, either; he and Lex and their families had done the best they could to keep Lex's pregnancy a secret, and for the most part, they'd managed, only telling those people they really wanted to know.

Lex chuckled slightly. "Clark, calm down. We have plenty of time, but we can't wait much longer." he said, standing up and slowly following Clark out to the truck. He surveyed the truck and frowned slightly. "You know that truck's going once this kid comes," he said.

"I think I'd rather him in this truck than that porsche of yours, especially the way you drive." Clark commented, giving him a wry smile as he backed out of the driveway, quickly shouting to his parents what was going on.

It was a long, slow drive to the hospital. Clark sighed and drummed his fingers impatiently on the steering wheel. "Figures, we get stuck in rush hour traffic." he muttered.

"Stop that, Clark, you're annoying me." Lex said, lightly threading his fingers through Clark's to get him to stop the drumming.

"Sorry," Clark appologized as traffic suddenly started speeding up again, but not fast enough. It took all of Clark's strength to not get out of the car and pick it up himself and superspeed to the hospital with it; Hell, if he could bench press a tractor, he could certainly run with a car.

A little while, they finally made it to the hospital, Lex now in worse pain than ever. "Is that normal?" Clark asked.

Lex shook his head. "I wouldn't know, but I don't think so." he said, his voice becoming more faint.

Dr. Iyzarro met them at the emergency front entrance, a wheelchair already for Lex.

For Clark, the next few minutes went by in a blur. He could barely process any of what the doctor was telling him, and the only word that registered that caught his attention was "fever"

"Fever?" Clark repeated, frowning. "What's wrong with Lex, Doctor?"

Dr. Iyzarro glanced around them, then took Clark by the shoulder and ducked into an empty waiting room. "I think it's better if we discuss this in private." he told the young man. "Mr. Luthor developed a very high fever and his blood pressure is off the charts, it's very high. We're not sure if he will make it."

Clark was silent for a minute. "Is there anything we can do to help him?" he asked, determined to do everything in his power to help him.

Dr. Iyzarro sighed and shook his head. "I'm afraid not. Pray, thats really all you can do, Mr. Kent. Pray that Lex will make it through this."

After the doctor left, Clark walked down to Lex's room and looked through the window. He knew he had to be in there, but he couldn't bare to bring himself in there, to see Lex in that kind of pain. He wished he could trade places with him, but he couldn't. He hated what was happening. Why did it have to happen to Lex? Running a hand through his hair, he opened the door and walked in, sitting down beside Lex and taking his hand, smiling. "I'm here." he whispered to him.

Lex looked up slightly and tried to smile back, but all he could manage was a grimace. "It hurts, Clark. Make it stop."

The pain in Lex's voice brought tears to Clark's eyes. He had all the power in the world, but he was powerless to stop this. Instead, all he could do was sit there and watch his lover slowly die. "You'll make it through this Lex, don't give up." Clark encouraged him.

Lex shook his head. "The doctors say I won't make it through this, Clark. They can save the baby but they won't be able to save me. It's inevitable Clark, and I'd rather them save the baby."

"No!" Clark said, pulling his hand away. "You will make it through this Lex, stop talking like that. Whatever it takes, you will make it through!"

Lex shook his head. "Clark...When Jonathan gets older, I want the two of you to move into the mansion. It's yours, legally, I had the papers drawn up a few weeks ago." he said, his voice growing fainter and fainter with each word. Just then Lex blacked out.

"Mr. Kent, we're going to have to ask you to leave the room, the doctor's need room to work." Dr. Iyzarro told him, gently shoving him out the door.

It took everything that Clark had hauled up inside him and then some to keep from throwing the doctor up against the wall, but he had to restrain himself. Ending up in the psych ward at this point wouldn't do him or Lex any good.

"Mr. Kent?" the voice of Dr. Iyzarro snapped Clark out of his thoughts.

"Yes?" he said, not turning to look the doctor in the eye. He couldn't. In his mind, this doctor was not everything he could to help save Lex's life.

"Congratulations, you have a son. Mr. Luthor is asking for you."

With a curt nod, Clark walked into the room.
