I know this chapter is a little short, but, still, please Read and Review!
"My daughter's name has nothing to Lana. Lara was my birth mother's name," Clark said.
Chloe took a step back, putting her hands in front of her defensively. "Sorry. I'm sorry. It's just I… never mind," she said, and looked away.
Clark stared at her for a while before letting out a deep sigh. "Chloe. I'm sorry. I am just a little stressed out right now. I never meant to hurt you. I was going to tell you."
Chloe had looked up again when Clark had started talking and could see actual regret in his eyes. "I know. You already told me you don't have feeling for me like that. But a girl can't help but hope," she said, leaning back against the wall. "Can I hold her?" she asked after a few moments of silence.
"Sure," he said, standing up. He walked over to Chloe and held his daughter out to her. He laughed a little when Chloe awkwardly took her into her arms. "Why don't we go ahead and bring her back to the nursery," he said, walking towards the door.
Chloe walked up to the window of the nursery and looked in, still holding Lara. Clark had gone to find a nurse so they could go inside of the room. Chloe had a kind of wistful smile on her face when her eyes fell on a little baby boy… a baby boy named Kal Kent. She was still staring at the little boy when Clark came up to stand next to her.
"The nurse said she would be by in a minute. She had to do something real quick," he said.
"You didn't tell me that Lara was a twin, Clark."
He instantly tensed up beside her, thinking back from the time that Chloe had walked into Alicia's room. He could have sworn that he had told her but from the hurt and anger in her voice, he guessed it must have… slipped his mind. He turned to her, placing a placating hand on her shoulder.
"I am really sorry. I thought I did tell you."
Chloe glanced at him and let out a defeated sigh and held out Lara for him to take. "Don't worry about it. I never really gave you a chance to really tell me with all of the tension and everything."
At that moment, the nurse came up with the same grin she was wearing earlier. "Hey, Clark. Alicia doing well? Good," she said without even giving him the chance to answer. "And who is this?" she asked, indicating Chloe.
"This is Chloe. She is one of my best friends," Clark said, sending a meaningful look to Chloe.
"Well, that's great. I guess you want to leave Lara back in the nursery? I will just take her in then," she said and took Lara and turned to the nursery door.
When she had entered the nursery, Clark quickly grabbed Chloe by the arm and marched away as fast as he could without seeming suspicious. He looked down at Chloe when she started trying to pull away from him.
"Clark, stop. Why are we rushing off like this? And you were hurting me," she said, looking up at him with slight surprise.
"The nurse. There is just something about her that doesn't sit well with me."
"Like what?" she asked, turning her head to look back towards where the strange nurse still was in the nursery.
This story is going on hiatus. I have another story that I had up as a fanfic but I really want to rewrite it like I originally wanted the story to be written. Also, there is another story that I really need to get down, one that is a couple of years old. This hiatus is only for two weeks at the most! Thank you for reading.
