Epilogue


Lois looked at herself in the mirror. She couldn't believe what was going to happen today. It had been a year since Clark almost died in that school explosion. She couldn't believe she almost lost him. She couldn't imagine her life without him.

From now on she would live a happy life with Clark and they would get their always and forever.

"You ready?" a voice called. It was her father. The General had given Clark a hard time at first, but Lois ensured her father that she and Clark were in love.

It was nothing, but the truth. Lois was more in love right now then she ever had been in her entire life. She was so happy to finally find the right guy for her.

"I've been ready," Lois joked with her father.

"My little Lo is growing up," Sam Lane said.

"I'll always be your little girl, daddy," Lois said.

"I just can't believe you're getting married," he said.

"I love him, dad," she said.

He nodded. "And I can tell he loves you too," Sam said. He smiled at his daughter. "But I swear if he breaks your heart again, I'm going to-."

"Dad!"

"Ok. Ok. Today is your wedding day. Let's not think that," he said.

"I'm really happy you could make it," Lois said.

"You're my daughter, of course I'm here," he said.

"I love you, dad."

\S/

"Mom, you're making me nervous," Clark said.

"More nervous than the fact that you're marrying Lois in thirty minutes?" Martha asked.

"Mom!"

"I'm sorry. I'm just so happy for the two of you," she said.

"Thanks, mom," he said.

"I'm going to go see if Lois could use any help," Martha said.

"Ok."

\S/

"I'm going to go give Clark some words of encouragement," the General said heading out the door.

"Dad?" Lois called.

"Yeah?" the General asked turning back around to face Lois.

"If Clark decides not to marry me, I'm holding you responsible," Lois said.

He smiled at his daughter. "You got it," he said before leaving the room.

Chloe was left laughing with Lois in the room. "Give your dad a break. He's giving away his daughter today," Chloe said.

Lois smiled, "Giving his daughter away… who would have ever thought I would be getting married one day… let alone to Clark Kent?" Lois looked at Chloe who just smiled.

"I did" a voice appeared behind them. They both turned around to see Martha Kent, "I knew the day I met you Lois… it just took you guys awhile get here. But I knew you would be the girl to open up my son. I couldn't ask for a better woman to marry my son; but then again, I couldn't ask for a better daughter" She smiled as she began to fix Lois' veil as she handed her the flowers to get ready to make her big entrance.

"I love you Mrs-" Lois tried to finish but Martha cut her off.

"Mom… it's mom, Lois. It always has been, it always will be" Lois smiled and took Martha into a huge hug as Martha kissed her head.

Martha began to cry, seeing the tears, Lois followed and tried to fix her makeup.

"Don't cry, we don't want this beautiful makeup to get ruined" Martha laughed as she wiped the smudge away from underneath Lois' eye.

\S/

Sam Lane walked into Clark's room and placed a hand on his shoulder giving Clark a slight fright.

"General Lane," Clark stuck out his hand.

The General shook his hand and pulled Clark in for a hug, "None of this, we're family now. My little Lo loves you, and I approve."

Clark smiled and returned the hug, "Thank you."

Sam pulled out of the hug, and put his two hands on his shoulders looking him dead in the eyes, "However, break her heart, I swear to god, I'll break you, Kent."

Clark's eyes widened, "I won't, sir"

Sam smiled and nodded, "I know you won't." he turned to walk away and head towards the door, "Now, I think it's time for you to get married, because I'm heading out to walk down my beautiful little girl to you." He teared up at the thought of her getting married, "My little girl."

Clark smiled at his little sentimental statement and turned around to look at himself once more before heading to the altar.

\S/

Clark looked at the people sitting down, all waiting for Lois to appear. It was there he saw Richard White. They both exchanged glances and brief nods. Richard smiled and said congratulations and threw his hand up in the air. Clark smiled back and said thank you.

The music began and Lois Lane walked down the aisle with her father.

Lois looked around and saw everyone staring at her, but one man who stood out through them all was one certain farm boy, Clark Kent.

She stared him as they each had huge smiles on their faces.

"Are you sure about this, Lo?" Lois' gaze was broken from the sound of her dad whispering to her.

"I've never been more sure in my entire life, daddy" He smiled and they reached the altar.

Lois breathed in and out as Clark did the exact same.

"Who gives this woman to this man?" The minister asked.

"I do, her father, General Sam Lane" He kissed Lois on the cheek and handed her over to Clark.

"Everyone please be seated" The minister gestured for everyone to sit down.

While the ceremony was going on, Lois and Clark recalled each memory they ever shared that led them to where they are today. Each person, did the same. It was hard to believe that each person sitting there had helped shape them in some form. Through all the relationships they ever shared with someone else, it only led Clark and Lois closer to one another.

The minister then proceeded to have them each say their vows. They both went through the good times and the bad times, and how it always made them stronger in the end. They also mentioned how without one another, they wouldn't be themselves. Each vow ended up with them all sobbing, and the quite simple, 'I love you.'

The minister then asked for the rings, and Oliver Queen stepped up and handed him two rings.

"Clark, will you take Lois to be your wife? Will you love and respect her? Will you be honest with her always? Will you stand by her through whatever may come? Will you make whatever adjustments are necessary so that you can genuinely share your life with her?"

"I do." He replied quickly.

"And Lois, will you take Clark to be your husband? Will you be honest with him always? Will you stand by him through whatever may come? Will you make whatever adjustments are necessary so that you can genuinely share your life with him?"

"Of course, I do" She smiled.

"Clark, take this, and repeat after me. Lois, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love.

"Lois, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love." Clark repeated taking the ring and slowing putting it on Lois' soft and light finger

"As it encircles your finger, may it remind you always that you are surrounded by my enduring love."

"As it encircles your finger, may it remind you always that you are surrounded by my enduring love." Clark once again repeated and by the end of the vow, the ring was fully on Lois' finger.

"Lois, it is now your turn." He gave Lois the ring, "Clark, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love."

"Clark, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love." Lois said slipping the ring onto Clark's finger.

"As it encircles your finger, may it remind you always that you are surrounded by my enduring love."

"Huh? Repeat that but very slowly." Lois clearly got lost with all the words. People started to laugh.

"As it encircles your finger, may it remind you always that you are surrounded by my enduring love."

"As it encircles your finger, may it remind you always that you are surrounded by my enduring love." Lois finished the sentence and slipped the ring fully onto Clark's finger.

Lois and Clark smiled widely at each other, both wanting to kiss each other badly.

"Ladies and gentleman! I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Clark Kent! Clark, you may now kiss your bride!"

Clark smiled at Lois and waited for the man to finish his sentence before he took Lois into his arms and kissed her passionately.

Everyone stood up and started clapping and cheering for the newly married couple.

Clark and Lois wouldn't break apart, until Sam Lane got up there, "Hey, no funny business, Kent…" everyone started laughing.

"I wouldn't try it, sir" Clark said as he joined in on everyone's laughter.

Clark took Lois' hand and they began to walk down the aisle.

"What now?" Clark asked.

"Everything." Lois answered.

"What?" Clark asked confused.

"Everything is going to happen now, it's the start our lives, Clark. It's the start of our lives together. The best of our days"

Clark smiled at her comment, "I love you, Lois Kent."

Lois put her finger up, "Lane-Kent" she corrected.

He let out a small chuckle, "Lois and Clark, always and-" he tried to finish but he was interrupted once more.

"Forever" she smiled as she pulled him for a kiss grabbing his shirt.

As they broke away, they looked up into the sky to see two starts colliding into one another, signifying how their worlds have now intertwined forever.
