Chapter ten: Bathtime
Chloe gave little Lonny a quick bath, while Lex watched silently from the doorway. Trying not to laugh out loud as she struggled with the hyper child. Who seemed utterly fascinated with the warm water and splashing it all over everything, and that included the young reporter.
Brushing a few damp strands away from her now semi-soppy face, she glanced up at him, grinning.
"You know what's sad? My cousins are much worse than this, and they don't eat sugar."
He scuffed, watching his 'dad' splash playfully in the water.
"Yeah right."
Lonny reached over, snagging a soap saddened rag and threw it over his head, toward the unsuspecting Lex. He yelped as it hit him face on. Chloe laughed as she picked the kid up and wrapped him in a too large towel.
"Well, I'll get him dry and be on my way. Got any cloths? That won't fall off?"
Lex made a face as he tossed the rag onto the floor, before he answered her.
"No, I don't think so. Maybe a few old shirts that shrunk in the wash."
"Really?"
Chloe faked a gasp as she stood.
"The great Lex Luthor actually has some old rag cloths and hasn't thrown them away?"
She said sarcasticly when Lex glared at her.
"Well, what about you? Don't you have old cloths?"
"yes, but they're girl cloths. And sides, your rich enough that you could throw away each outfit you wear a day and still have more than me in a year."
He shrugged.
"I guess it's the perks of being rich."
"Well duh."
Chloe walked over to him, handing the small wriggling bundle.
"It's a boy, hold him while I go change."
"Change?"
Lex asked as he stared at Lonny, sparing her a brief glance. She grinned.
"Yes, I brought a spare set of cloths."
"Why? You thinking about using them?"
He smirked at her, raising a single eyebrow. Chloe rolled her eyes.
"Not the way you're thinking of perv. And yes I always bring an extra set of cloths whenever I go out, just in case I'm stuck babysitting a cute little kid for a day. But really, I bring some clean cloths just in case of a story gets a little too messy."
"Oh. Smart thinking."
"I know, now get him dressed while I change."
"Yes my mistress."
"And Lex,"
He paused at the doorway.
"Shut up."
She said throwing the rag at him. As soon as it hit him, she shut the door and locked it quickly, smiling evilly as she listened to him curse and growl.
"Now! Now! Watch the language! There IS a little kid in there!"
Lex entered his room, glancing down at Lonny, who was starting to look tired and grinned a little.
"If she only knew."
