A/N: I am Changing amanda'a age to 15
Clark started the truck and drove out of the drive way...
" Daddy?"
" yeah?"
" What did you mean when you told mommy that no human was meant to have the powers like you?... Aren't you human like me and Mommy and Amanda?"
Clark Pulled over to the side of the road and took a gulp and looked at his son in shock that he had asked that.
'" What do you mean son?"
" Well when mommy wasn't feeling well you told me that you were going to talk to her.. and I .. I was worried about her and then I listened to you talk to her and you said 'this is about you and your well being... no human was meant to have that kind of power ' and it scared me daddy.. why is mommy so sick?" He said on the verge of tears.
" Johnathan ...you listen to me... and listen to me well ..."
" Okay"
" You know that daddy is special and so are you.. right?''
" yeah"
" well because daddy and you are so special it may hurt mommy a little if she keeps being special like us..."
" I don't get it...why would it hurt her and not us?"
" It's very hard to explain ... look son...you have to just trust me that your mommy is just a little tired right now ... but she is going to be okay..." Clark was almost on the verge of tears now beacuse he didn't truely know if this was true himself and he was lying to his son about his heritage just as his dad had. He remembered how hurt he felt when his father did not tell him for 15 years but at the same time he thought about how much it would hurt his family if he told Johnathan right now the truth and he accidently slip up in school or someplace else.
" Do you promise daddy?"
" I can't promise you but I can have hope just as you have to okay?"
"Yeah .. I guess.."
" Alright now... since we aren't going to have cake tonight why dont we stop for some ice cream after we get the feed... we will even bring your mommy some okay?"
" KAY!" He said smiling again...
Clark hugged his son and started the truck again and began to head for the smallville feed supply store and then to the talon for some ice cream .
Amanda had decided to take a shower and an extra hour to get ready to go out that night... ' everything has to be perfect' she said to herself... and since Brad Myers was going to be there that night everything nothing could go wrong...she decieded on a pair of ripped jeans , some brown converse and a vintage looking top that hugged her defined waist. She pulled her long bangs up to creater a edgy puff and straightened her long jet black hair. She choose a soft brown shadowing effect of her eyes and a nuetral lip gloss.
" Damn you look sexy" she said to herself as she checked herself out in her mirror.
" Brad Myers if you don't want me after tonight then your a big stupid idiot."she laughed to herself
' Oh shoot ... I wanted to borrow mom's dior perfume...' she thought.
She walked outside her room , down the hall and to her parents room...she slowly ( trying to be descrete) turned the doorhandle and tiptoed into her mother and father's bedroom. Normally she could just walk in and use the perfume and walk out but she did not want to wake her mother...
She walked him and began looking through the perfume bottles for the right one...
" You know you could just ask rather than being so sneaky" He mother muttered as she turned over.
" I didn't want to wake you that's all"
" Well I was already up.. I swear this one is going to be a soccer player for sure"
" Is he strong like dad?" She asked sitting on the bed
" Sometimes... He or she has their momments of strength."
" Does... it hurt when they do it?"
" No ... so enough about me... who's the boy...?''
" What are you talking about ?"
" Im not stupid I have been there... trust me... traveling the world with my father... I met alot and I mean alot of hot studs...you aren't dressed up for nothing anyway."
" Well Okay!" She said getting excited and turning to face her mother " his name is Brad Myers he is 16 ... and he wasn't going to come but then he heard I was coming and now he's gong to be there..."
" Ohh sounds cute...well.. since this is your first date ... let's not tell your father he isn't quite ready to let your grow up yet... in fact I dont think he will be until your about oh...46 "
They laughed...
" Okay listen up ... Rule #1.) Dont be clingy... they hate that and its just annoying"
" Okay"
" Rule #2.) Dont be someone your not cause they can see right through that and you will just end up making a fool of your self."
" got it"
" And rule #3.) the most important rule of all... Be... natural...if he doesn't like you for you then it's not worth it. "
" Is that how you won dad over?"
" Are you kidding me? I was nothing but natural.. infact when we met we got each other's nerves so much we couldn't stand to be around each other let alone live together..."
" Are you serious? you two hated each other that much?"
" You should have seen him! If you think he is a dork now? I wish you could have been there 25 years ago! I made him so nervous ! it was hilarious!"She said cracking up.
" Oh I know I have seen pictures of him... grandma gave me a whole photo album before she passed away... they are too funny ... "
" WAIT! Your telling me you have had a whole photo alubm of your father from his high school years and never showed me or aunt chloe or anyone? Man if I had that thing 25 years ago..."
They both began laughing
" Yeah Ill show you sometime... mabey I will pull it out at like christmas or something so everyone can see"
" That would be soo good!"
Even though They were madly in love Lois still loved to tease Clark about his teenage years.
" Okay well I want to leave at like 6:30 okay?"
" Alright."
" Love you mom"
" I love you too" She said heading for the bath room.
At the feed store while Johnathan was playing in the hay on the side of the store Clark helped the men load the feed into the truck .
" He look's just like you Mr.Kent... acts like you too..."
" Excuse me ?" he replied
" Yep ... I remember you when you where his age and used to come here with your father... you used to always play in the hay in the exact same spot while your dad helped me load up the truck. " The old man replied... He had to be around 75 or 76 years old by now...
" Your kidding me?"
" Nope...you used to ask me a lolli too and I always gave you one even the times your dad said no.. do you mind?"
" No go ahead..." He said stunned
" Hey ! Johnathan .. would you like a lollipop?"
" Im not supposssed to take candy from strangers" he said
" It's alright son I know him"
" okay!" He said jumping up from the pile
" Alright ... your all loaded up... just come inside to pay the bill " The younger man said gesturing to the office building.
" Okay... come on Johnathan"
" Thanks Mister!" he replied
" Anytime " the old man replied with a laugh
They Payed the bill and got into the truck and headed to the talon for Ice cream
" What will ya have sir?" The young girl asked
" Can I have just 2 soft serve cones... 1 Chocolate 1 half vanilla.. ohh and I also would like a really big chocolate chip cookie wraped up please..."
" No problem ... thats 2.57$"
He payed and recieved the ice cream cones he handed the half chocolate half vanilla cone to little Johnathan.
He took a lick from the cone and as his Daddy went to hand him a napkin he dropped it and the cold ice cream dripped all over himself.
" Im sorry daddy" He cried as the tears welled up into his eyes...
" Oh it's alright..." he said wipping the ice cream off his face and shirt .. he could see the tears coming and did not feel like dealing with a crying fit right now...
Before he could turn around to get another one the young girl was standing there with another cone ...
" Here you go sir ... dont worry it's on the house " He said winking to him
" Thanks"
" No problem "
" Come on buddy lets go home..."
" Do you think mommy will like the cookie daddy?"
" I think she is going to love it..." He said smiling back ..
They jumped into the truck and headed home.
