Chapter 7:

At the Lane/White house it almost seemed empty because Richard had moved out. He hadn't said a word to Lois and Jason, so when they came home they were surprised.

Supergirl (looking around the dark house): Why is the house so...?

Superman: Maybe we should go, Christy.

Lois: I want to talk to Christy right now, so Clark can you go upstairs with Jason while we talk.

Jason: Yeah! Mr. Clark, come see my room!

Superman (reluctantly): Okay...

Christy (changes back to her other persona): Cool, so...do you want to talk here close by the water or inside?

Lois (sitting down on the bank): How about here?

Christy (sitting down beside her): Okay. What did you want to talk about?

Lois: I just wanted to get to know you.

Christy: Well, I don't know what to say...you know that I'm Supergirl and the future is different...what do you want to know?

Lois (hesitantly...for once): Am I really your mom?

Christy: Yes, you're a great mom too! I wish I could be a great writer like you someday.

Lois (smiling softly): Wow. I wish I could get to know you.

Christy: I'm really liking this time period...and starting to like someone here.

Lois: Really? Who?

Christy: Yeah! Um...he's an actor...

Lois: So you are not going to tell me?

Christy: I want to, but I feel like if I do then I'm going to fall in love with him more and I don't want to get him or me hurt when I have to leave.

Lois: I know what pain feels like throughout the years so I want you to know that as much as I use to wish I never met Superman...Clark...your dad because he was gone when I needed him the most, but now I feel like Superman was the best thing I ever had. I just hope I can handle it this time and get your dad back.

Christy: That's good that you don't regret having Dad in your life. Somehow and someday you will get together because I'm living proof of that.

Lois: I don't want you to go.

Christy: Well, I'm going to have to leave sometime, but you know that I'll be coming soon and Jason will be the older sibling.

The next day at the bullpen, life was back to normal. Well, as normal as it can be, with Superman undercover as a reporter and Supergirl undercover as an intern.

Clark: Are you sure you are okay with my secret?

Lois: You know I love you, don't you?

Clark: Really? As Superman or Clark?

Lois: Both of you! Now I just need to get to know more about Clark...

Christy: Hey! I just picked up Jason from school and he wants to draw at your desk, Dad.

Jason (does big puppy dog eyes): PLEASE!

Clark (giving in): Sounds swell...

Jason (jumping with happiness): YES!

Christy (quietly): Mom, have you talked to Dad yet about you-know-what?

Lois: Not yet, Christy. What are you working on today?

Christy: You're changing the subject...um...I'm not sure what story I have.

A delivery service person comes out of the elevator and looks around the bullpen.

Deliveryman: Christy Kent! I have a package for Christy Kent!

Jimmy (snatching the package out of Christy's hands when she receives it): What's this!...

Christy: That's mine!

Deliveryman: Can I get a signature for this?

Clark signs the man's clipboard and the man in the brown service uniform thanks him and walks off.

Lois: Who is it from?

Christy (steals the box back and opens it): Wow! Mitch sent me a pecan pie and a card.

Jimmy (taking a bite of the pie): Yum...tastes good...

Christy: Hey, that's mine! At least you could of asked me for a piece.

Clark: A pecan pie?

Lois: I'm right with Clark on this, why did he send you that?

Christy: When I bumped into him before his interview with me I told him that I absolutely loved pecan pie...he wrote me...he...WHAT!

Clark/Lois: What!

Christy: He's asking me if I want to go out with him! What am I doing to do!

"Always glad to help Christy, I like being able to read your story before anyone else. Makes me feel like a VIP (flashes SupergirlVIP badge).

There wasn't much to edit on this chapter, you're writing is clearer and doesn't have very many errors at all. I just added in a few actions.

As a note: I love pecan pie. Tasty..." - transgenic-girl

It's good that you love pecan pie. I wish I could be eating it right now...I'm surprized that I don't have many edits this time, but that doesn't mean that I don't need my VIP. Because as good as I was with this chapter,I'll always will need my SUPERVIP! Plus I just came back from the beach where I was writing away the next chapter (8), it's not a bad place to write (well, next to the wind). I would like some reviews, but I know that some people don't review because they are lazy (I know how you feel!). Thanks for reading!
