Thanks for the reviews. Here goes the next part.

At six am sharp he felt two things land on his chest. He opened his eyes and found the twins looking at him.

"Hey you two" he said.

"Daddy" said Tess

"We're hungry and we didn't want to wake Mummy up" said Lewis.

"Ok you two" he said pulling them down as they had started to jump.

They stilled quickly and lay down on top of him he hugged them. Tess closed her eyes and Clark stroked her hair, Lewis's eyes were drooping as well. Clark smiled at the two of them

"So much for being hungry" he muttered to himself and watched as they both fell asleep then he shut his eyes as well.

Two hours later Lana wandered downstairs with Chloe. They were talking and looking for the twins, who had disappeared. As Chloe wandered off into the kitchen Lana went to look at Clark on the sofa. She almost cried at the sight before her and ran into the kitchen.

"Chloe do you have a camera handy?"

"Uh there's one in the top draw over there I think" she said confused as she watched her friend practically run over to it "Why do you need a camera Lana?"

"Come out here and see" she said and Chloe followed her into the living room. She smiled at how excited Lana was at this sight she had to admit it was very cute.

Clark with the twins asleep on his chest all with looks of calm on their faces. Lana had taken about three pictures then she put the camera down and knelt down by the sofa stroking Clark's hair lightly and placing a light kiss on his forehead. She did the same with the twins, the boys didn't move but Tess stirred and opened one of her green eyes to look blearily up at her mother.

"Mummy" she said lifting her arms up to Lana who automatically picked her up and settled her on her hip where she laid her head on her shoulder looking around with her thumb in her mouth.

Chloe smiled at them as Clark opened his eyes realising that his chest could move easier. He leant his head back and looked up at the three people looking down at him and smiled.

"That's where she went" he said sitting up slowly holding Lewis securely "You alright Mess" he stood up holding Lewis and stroked her hair. She nodded sleepily as Lewis opened his eyes and shook his head slightly.

"Daddy where are we?"

"We're at Chloe and Pete's remember"

"Oh yeah" he wriggled and Clark put him down "Could we have some breakfast?"

"Sure" said Chloe "Do you want to come and show me what you like?"

"Ok" said Lewis happily following her to the kitchen.

"Do you want to go Tessy?" asked Lana, the little girl just shook her head and both adults just smiled.

Clark patted the seat next to him and Lana sat down next to him putting Tess on her lap. He carefully put an arm around her and Lana leaned on him finding the hand that was on his lap and taking hold of it. Tess wriggled slightly then looked up at them.

"Are we going to school today Mummy?"

"Oh crap it's a Wednesday isn't it" the little girl nodded. "I don't know. You might just be a little late. What do you think?" she said turning to Clark. He seemed surprised.

"I'm not sure we'll have to see what we want to do. They can miss one day of school can't they, can't we show them around here today then go back tomorrow" She looked at him and smiled.

"Yeah they'd like that and so would I"

"Good" he said and kissed both of their foreheads "So you aren't going to school today Mess"

"Yea" she jumped making Clark laugh.

"Don't they like school?" Clark asked Lana as Tess ran to tell her brother

"They do" said Lana "But they find it very boring. They could read when they were about three and write by the time they were four. I taught them to when they got curious about me writing letters. I teach them at home sometimes because they want to learn about things and I give in to them. I know they should learn it at school but it keeps them quiet"

"We really do have geniuses on our hands then"

"We might it was just a way to keep them occupied while I was working" Clark frowned.

"What do you do now?"

"I paint and design clothes from home as well as working as a assistant designer at a shop when the twits are at school. I got a degree in art and design from a local college"

"That's great I always knew you'd do something arty" he said.

"Well what do you do?"

"Me? I'm still a student at Met U majoring in journalism, sophomore"

"Oh" she nudged him "Shouldn't you be at class then?"

"I got a leave because of my parents. I've taken this semester off" he looked at the floor before Lana pulled his head round to look at her.

"It's ok" she said stroking his face gently "Shh. I'm here" He pulled her onto his lap and put his forehead against hers. They stayed there drawing strength from each other, eyes closed hands in the others hair or hand.

The twins walked in aware of the silence in the room they stood in front of their parents who didn't notice them just then and watched them. They saw their father's shaky breathing and the way their mother was comforting him by just moving her head against his. The two five year olds shared a glance before walking up to them and helping each other to get into their parents' lap.

Lana and Clark looked down at their children and smiled. They put their joined hands around the two of them holding onto them tight. The twins put their hands on the clasped ones and leant back into their parents. Unlike most five year olds they didn't pester to know what was wrong they just knew that their parents needed them to be there, they knew that Mummy would tell them later she always did when they wanted to know something and now there was Daddy too. They knew it would be fine.

Clark looked down at his children. He was still a little overwhelmed that he was a father, you couldn't just get used to that overnight. He had fallen in love with them from the moment that he saw them though. The connection was so strong it scared him but in a good way. He looked at Lana who smiled at him. She understood what was going on inside his head she had always been able to and he was glad of that.

"I love you all so much" he whispered looking at his family on his lap.

"I love you too Daddy" said the twins in unison.

"I love you too" Lana whispered in his ear then kissed his cheek.

They sat like that until they were called to breakfast by Chloe.
