Chapter Four

As the day of Lois' surgery arrived Clarks parents showed up into her room along with Chloe and John-Pierre but no Clark and no Lana.

"Eight forty-five." Lois whispered looking at the clock.

"Where could Clark be?" Mrs. Kent said.

"He's at dinner. I'm sure he'll be here soon." Chloe said.

"He said he'd go to dinner after or during the surgery." John-Pierre said.

"He's going to miss it. That's fine. I don't need him here…Okay eight fifty." At that moment Lana walked into the hospital room.

"Sorry I'm almost late. Clark kept asking what kind of food I like and what I'm in the mood for and if I'm sure that's what I want…where is Clark? He said he was here." Lana said.

"He lied. But that's okay. Eight fifty-three oh wait…fifty-four." Lois said, eager for the surgery. At nine o' clock Lois went into surgery.

At nine thirty Clark walked into Lois' hospital room.

"Sorry I'm late. I got caught up in something." Clark said.

"Well, you missed her. She's already in surgery. I don't know what's wrong with you Clark. You may not like Lois but I thought you would care enough to at least be there for her while she's in surgery." Mr. Kent said.

"I'm sorry. What can I say? I was delayed."

"Clark, maybe we shouldn't…you know…go to dinner tonight." Lana said.

"Why?"

"Because, Lois will be needing a lot of help."

"My parents can do that."

"Listen Clark, John-Pierre and I are…going…out…."

"What?" Clark asked, shocked.

"Yeah. We had a good time at lunch and…we're going to dinner…tonight."

"I am sorry Clark. I told her to tell you after dinner. I still don't need to go." John-Pierre said.

"Then don't." Clark replied.

"Listen, Clark, I am sorry." John-Pierre said.

After that everyone was silent. Clark was thinking about the dream he had and he realized that he couldn't have had Lana anyway. All of the things that had happened in the dream happened in reality…so far. He just couldn't make any sense of how it could happen. First he has super-human powers and now, he can see the future? Finally he realized what he had to do.

"You know, it's okay. Sorry…you know…for getting mad at nothing. I was stupid. It's your lives. Your decision." Clark said.

"Thanks Clark. I'm glad I have your permission." Lana said sarcastically.

"I really am sorry."

"It's okay. We really don't care." Lana said.

"Alright." At that moment Lois was wheeled into the hospital room.

"I'm back!" Lois said, "Oh, Clark. How nice of you to join me."

"I'm sorry."

"Really? Really? Are you being serious?"

"Yes. I'm sorry."

"Apology accepted." Lois said.

"Thank you." Clark ad Lois smiled at each other and went on to business.
