Metropolis, 2016

Lois stood before the mirror in her bathroom, regarding her reflection. She was quite nervous, and wasn't sure how to react. She wasn't always so impatient, but in this case, she found herself increasingly so.

"Lois, is everything okay in there? You've been in the bathroom for almost 10 minutes. Are you all right?" Clark called from the hallway, worried about his wife.

"I'm fine, Clark. I'm fine," she answered, looking down as she finally heard a bell ding. It was time.

As soon as Lois opened the door, Clark noticed her worried appearance. She looked so nervous that Clark wanted to know why. "Lois?" he asked as he picked up her hand and held it, trying to be supportive. "Is something wrong?"

"Smallville, I'm… pregnant!" Lois said, showing him the wand, which proved she was telling the truth.

"What? Are you sure?" Clark asked as a huge grin grew on his face. Lois nodded.

"I've taken this test three times, now, to be sure. All of them were positive."

"Lois!" Clark took her in his arms and hugged her, lifting her in the air and twirling her before passionately kissing her. "This is wonderful!"

"I know. I was afraid I couldn't have a baby with you, you know? You are an alien, after all." She smirked at him before he let her down. "But I'm happy everything worked out."

"I guess we have to give Mr. Mxyzptlk credit for that. He showed us that we would have a daughter in our future, remember?" Clark pointed out.

"Yeah, yeah, all right. If you see the Gnome, you can tell him 'thanks' for me. He'll be back in 3 months, right?"

"Probably," Clark sighed, frustrated.

After returning from the Congo, where she was doing a huge cover story and was unable to talk, Chloe hurried over to Lois's apartment.

"Chloe! You're back!" Lois exclaimed as she opened the door and hugged her cousin. "I've been dying to talk to you in person! I'm so glad you're here!"

"What's up, cuz? Your message seemed urgent on the machine," Chloe told her, and Lois motioned for her sit on the couch.

"Chloe… I need to tell you something…"

"Lois, you seems nervous. What is it?"

"I…"

"Clark?" Chloe asked, surprised to see Superman suddenly flying through the window, carrying many different kinds of food. "Where were you?"

"Paris, China, and Mexico!" Superman responded, dropping some packages of food on the table.

"Why?"

"Well… Lois keeps having these weird cravings for international food. I have to travel around the world to find them." Chloe looked at Lois, who smiled at her.

"Oh, my God! I can't believe it! Are you pregnant?" Chloe exploded, happily hugging Lois. Lois nodded and grinned. "Really? I'll be aunt!"

"Yeah," Lois replied as Superman grabbed her, hugging her as well.

"How long have you known? When did you find out?" Chloe asked curiously.

""Two Months ago, but since you were in Congo doing that conference and I wanted to tell you in person, we waited until you got back." Lois explained as she pick some freench cheese and starts to eat. "Are you mad at me?"

"Are you kidding me? I'll be an aunt! That's the best news ever!" Chloe exclaimed, also hugging Superman. "Have you thought about names, yet?"

Superman ran to the bedroom to change from his costume into his normal clothes and glasses.

"I think it's too early for that, Chlo," Lois told her, smiling. She couldn't stop smiling- it was like she had a big hanger in her mouth. "But yes, we have been thinking."

"Great! What name will you be giving it?"

"Lara," Clark and Lois answered together; Chloe smiled at them.
