Hmmm normally I have 1 review per chapter…. Last time I had none… kinda disappointing but I will keep going anyways… I have no idea when this is going to end… I have so many things going threw my head and now I am just throwing then down on paper and forming the ideas that make sense into chapters then going back to the paper and getting the other ideas that make sense and doing the same thing. But I am thinking somewhere from 4-6 more chapters, then I will be done and am going to try to maybe write another Smallville fan fiction but I don't know what category… maybe I will write a full length Chlark one… its something to think about…
Chapter 19: Untitled
I still felt guilty every time I looked at that little girl. But feeling guilty wasn't going to bring her parents back and over the past week, I had grown to love her. She was the most intelligent, energetic, and independent 33 month old girl I have ever met.
"Ahh…"She screamed as she laughed. Clark and I turned to see her running from Shelby. Clark smiled and caught her and I caught Shelby.
"Hey, what' going on Ellyna?" He asked. She giggled and pointed to Shelby.
"Shelby chased me." She said breathlessly. "He was fast, but I beat him."
Clark and I laughed. Then he picked her up and spun her in the air. She shrieked with laughter. I laughed, let the dog go and walked over to them.
"My head is going in circles!" Ellyna exclaimed after Clark stopped.
"Clark, Juliet, Ellyna, dinners ready!" Martha yelled from the house. Clark carried Ellyna and I followed, being truly amazed at how good her was with her.
We got inside and ate dinner. Then, the Kent's had an announcement.
"Ellyna we have to tell you something." Jonathon said. The two in a half year old girl's ears perked up to listen.
"We were wondering if you would like to come live here with us." Martha said softly. Ellyna's expression turned to that of deep concentration.
"Are you my new mom and dad?" She asked.
"Well, yes, if you want us to be." Jonathon said.
"I would like that a lot!" She replied. Everyone looked so happy, everyone but Clark.

"You didn't say much at dinner. Is everything all right?" I asked as I walked up the steps to the loft.
"Yeah…" Clark said unconvincingly as he turned around.
"Liar." I stated as I sat down on the couch. "Come on Clark, what is so bad that you have to lie to me?"
"You would laugh at me." He told me.
"I doubt that, I hate that you're upset." I said.
"It's just that, I wanted to adopt Ellyna." He said as he sat down next to me. "Over the last couple weeks I found myself loving her like she was my own daughter."
He sounded so serious; I had never heard him like this before.
"It's kind of hard not to love her, but she is going to be so happy with your parents. And right now, I am not sure if we are ready to be parents. I know that I'm not and in two weeks we are going to be married, and sometime in the future after that, we will probably be wishing that we never wanted to be parents in the first place." I said sincerely. Clark laughed some and grabbed my hand.
"Two weeks, would it be pathetic to say I am excited?" He asked I laughed.
"No, it's actually quite flattering." I said.
"Well that's good to know." He replied.
"I'm rather excited myself." I told him.
"You're right, it is pretty flattering." He said.
"Hey Jules?" Clark asked.
"Yes?" I replied.
"I am glad we found each other again." He said. I smiled.
"I guess that this was always our destiny, and I am enjoying every moment of it." I told him as I stared into his eyes.
"Me too…"He whispered. Then I kissed him deeply and he pulled me onto his lap.
"Where did that come from?" Clark said breathlessly.
"Don't know, but I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did." I replied.
"Maybe even more." He said smiling.
"Oh really? How much more?" I said, hinting with mischief.
"How about this much more." He said before pressing his lips to mine again.
I ran my hands up his back until I gently pulled them through his hair. Clark placed his hands on my hips and lightly ran his fingers under the hem of my shirt. His tough made me shiver. It was a total moment, one we were both enjoying probably way more then we should and was probably past the stopping point.
"Can't you two wait until the honeymoon?" Chloe's voice said from the stairs. We broke apart so fast that I fell off Clark's lap and onto the floor. For some reason I remember this happening before.
"Chloe!" Clark said surprised.
"Ouch…." I whispered as I rubbed my arm on which I had fallen. Thank goodness it wasn't my broken one. Clark reached down and helped me up. He gave me that 'are you okay' look and I nodded.
"Hey Chloe, what are you doing here? I thought you were staying with Lois now." I asked, not very happy that Clark's and my moment had been broken.
"I was in town visiting my dad and decided to sop by, but I think I will leave you two along and go see your parent. See you two later, umm have fun? I guess?" She said. All three of us laughed.

"Leila this is beautiful!" I exclaimed as I stared at my dress. It was everything I could have ever imagined.
"Well, come on go put it on, let us see!" Martha urged. Chloe, Lana and Leila, my designer, all looked at me eagerly. I smiled and walked behind the curtain. When I came back out, everyone looked astonished.
"What?" I asked.
"Juliet, look at yourself!" Lana exclaimed. I walked over to the mirror and was in total awe.
The dress was long and snow-white. It had a side halter and the tie was made of satin. At the neck of the halter there was a cluster design of diamonds. The back dipped low and when into a low cut corset. The skirt flowed out in a diagonal. There was a petticoat but not much. The entire thing was made of silk and had a generous train.
I gasped when I saw myself. It was incredible.
"Oh my goodness…"I whispered.
"One more thing." Leila said. She reached behind her and got a veil, made of a diamond tiara like headband with the sheerest silk fabric attached to it. It was amazing. She put it on my head and smiled.
"There, now it is perfect." She said.
"I feel like a princess: I said dreamily.
"You should! So far this day looks like it is going to be a fairy tale!" Lana said.
"Six more days… wow…" Chloe said.
"I know! It's exciting and terrifying all at the same time." I replied.
