This will be my first fic here... ever. So bear with me while I bounce and chop my way through this.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything from any of the Superman movies. I do however own Kianna and whoever else I decide to put into this fic.
"I'm always around." With that said, the Man of Steel flew off into the night once more.
Lois' heart clenched at his departure, wondering when she would see him again. It was hard to watch him leave each time, especially now that he had been sitting at death's door. She couldn't help but worry. Turning to look back at her son, his son, she saw him still hanging out the window waving to the spot where Superman had just been.
"Jason, honey, you should go back to sleep." She called up to him. He only turned to her and smiled.
"I knew he would get better, Mama." He told her with a grin. "Besides, I like him."
Lois offered a smile to her son. "I know, Jason. I like him too." She gave one last look at the night sky before turning around to walk into the house, and ended up walking into Richard.
"Hey, Lois. How are you holding up?" He questioned her, pulling her into an embrace. The past week had been hell for her. For all of them.
She pulled back from him and let a smile work it's way onto her face. "Well enough." Came her reply, but Richard knew better. He could see it in her eyes that she wasn't.
"Come now Lois," he said with a smile. "tell the truth." He saw the lighter in her hand. "You weren't smoking were you?"
She gave him a genuine smile this time. "No. I wasn't." Then she placed her head on his chest and closed her eyes.
He felt her relax and began to rock her back and forth in a comforting sway. When she began to tremble from the cold, he led her inside where they settled on the couch. They sat like that fot the next ten minutes before she fell asleep in his arms. As he held her, his thoughts travled to the talk of every newspaper in the world. Superman. He knew that he wouldn't be alive if it weren't for the Man of Steel. He also knew that Superman wouldn't be around either if Lois hadn't convinced him to go back into that hell hole to help.
Lois. He knew she still had feelings for the world's savior, even if she did write the award winning article "Why The World Soesn't Need Superman." So far, she seemed perfectly happy living with him, but he really wondered how long that would last. How long would she stay content with him when she could have a hero. When she already had one. He knew this life with just the three of them wouldn't last. He just wished it could.
A/N: I made it through my first chapter. Phew! Please review, I would like to know how to improve my writing.
