Clark was flying around Metropolis. He couldn't get his mind off of his son. He actually had a son. It was amazing how things had happened. He can remember being hospitalized and Lois talking to him. Telling him that Jason was his son. He had felt so much joy. He had longed for this.
He had longed for someone that could understand him. That could experience everything that he went through. And knowing that he wasn't alone anymore. And knowing that even after he was gone the world would still have Superman. Would still have a savior.
It was already around 11pm that night and Clark had to go to his apartment. After he had regained consciousness and left the hospital the next day he had found an apartment. It was actually a really good one. It was in the better part of the city and it was pretty big. Two bedroom, one bathroom, a balcony and a large living area. He was on the top floor so no one could see him fly into his apartment unless they looked up.
He didn't know why he had wanted it so much because he didn't need all of the space. He did not need the two bedrooms. But he thought just incase. Since he would be an active part in Jason's life he would need a bedroom to sleep in.
He landed on the balcony and switched into his regular clothes. He went inside and straight to the kitchen. He thought he might as well grab a bite to eat then head off to bed. He stopped for a second. His answering machine was going off. He had a message.
'I wonder who could have left the message this late at night' He thought to himself. He walked over to the machine and pressed the button. As soon as the voice came through the speaker. "Hey Clark Its Lois, when you get this call me, we need to talk about a few things. Well….. I hope you are doing alright, I haven't seen you for almost 5 days now. I know you must be busy if you keep calling out of work. With the whole, settling down thing and all. But ummmm if you need any help, I uhhh. Just give me a call please." And the message cut off.
"What in the world was she up to?" He said out loud. For some reason he had a feeling something was not right. He could sense it in her voice. She was holding something back. 'It must be something she didn't want to say over the phone. But what is it?'
He knew there was no point worrying about it right now and it was pretty late so he thought he would just talk to her tomorrow at work. Since he was going back tomorrow. He'll just have to wait till then to figure this all out.

The Next Day
Clark strutted his way into the office today. For no particular reason he was extremely happy today. Like today was going to be one of the best days he has had in a long time. He could just tell. He was early today. Only a few people where here before he was, Jimmy, Perry and a few other co-workers. But as soon as he walked through out of the elevator Jimmy had been eyeing him. He kept staring and whenever he would look in Jimmy's direction he would look away.
He didn't know what was going on but it wasn't going to bother him today. Today was going to be a good day and he could tell. Well at least he thought it was.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jimmy had been waiting for Clark to arrive the whole day. And as soon as he walked off of the elevator with the big smile on his face Jimmy hadn't been able to stop watching him. How could he have not seen this before. Clark was Superman and it was so obvious now. He felt stupid for not seeing it before. But he wondered if Lois has known? Had Perry had known? Where they all keeping it from him? 'No, no way. Clark probley if he had told anybody had told Lois. But why had she acted so differently around Clark then she had Superman. She must not know then.'
He then knew what he had to do. He would confront Clark and ask him about it. Then he would go to Perry and Lois. They had a right to know. They were his best friends. But as for right now he had to think of a way to get to Clark to talk to him about it.
