A/N: I just saw Superman Returns, AWSOME movie by the way, in which there are new beginnings in the form of a special little boy. This is a conversation between Lois and Superman, completely off the record.
Family Secrets
Lois stood there, looking up at Superman, her soul mate, no matter how much she tried to convince herself that she loved Richard. It would always be this man, the one man who could sweep her off her feet, and the man who gave her the most wonderful little boy in the whole world. "I'm sorry, I should have told you sooner, I was trying to protect him."
"I understand. Does Richard know?"
"No one knows. He knows that biologically he's not his son, but he already thinks of him as just that."
"Good, I want my son to be loved by all those in his life."
"He will be. By you most of all, I want you in his life. Your his father, you know his past which is only known by you."
"And I will tell you everything. Only then can you protect our son." Superman sighed, and sat down on the chair on the Patio. You know that I am from Krypton, what you don't know that I arrived when I was three, not much younger that Jason. I was found by a farmer and his wife who live in Smallville, Kansas."
"Smallville? But that's where..."
"Clark is from."
"But... How? Your Clark?"
"Yes that's who I am. Clark Kent. Son of Jonathan and Martha Kent. My father died when I was 18, but my mother, my earth mother, she is still alive living in Kansas, she owns the farm, and hires people to run it when I can't be there. The point is, Jason has a grandmother, who would love to find out she has a grandson. I know what Jason is going through. He is discovering new things about himself, new gifts, limits far greater than everyone around him. On the farm Jason could test the limits without worrying about people seeing him, finding him out. Perhaps you could go visit while on Vacation. The point is, Jason is different, you know that, and he needs to be able to grow, he can't do that in the city."
Lois looked at the man she loved in a far different perspective than before. "I want you to help me raise him. I want him to have you to ask any questions he has about his past."
"I'm afraid all of the archives were stolen by Luthor, but I will do my best to teach him what I can remember. I already started writing some stuff down for when he's older."
Lois made a decision that moment, "I'm going to tell Jason and Richard, and the world. The biological father of my child is Clark Kent. It's true, your Clark, your the father of my child, and It will protect Jason's secret. And I want you to have half custody. You can take him anytime you want, take him to visit his grandmother in Kansas, take him flying, show him his past. I love my son, and I don't want to keep anything from him. You don't have to be the absentee father who flys into your son's room at night to watch him sleep. I want you to be the father who takes him to ball games, and teaches him the names of the constilations."
"When do we tell them?"
"Tomorrow morning, we'll tell Richard, Perry, and Jason. Together."
TBC...
A/N: I know It may seem long winded, but I was in a preaching mood about the movie, it was so awesome. I tried not to spoil anything for the movie. I hope you enjoy the film. It is AWSOME!
