Chapter 12
"Child?" asked Clark.
"Yes, Diana is pregnant." The Martian replied.
Clark felt dizzy, Diana was pregnant!. "But, J'onn, I can't have children! You know this."
"Not with a human woman." Replied J'onn.
Clark looked at Diana, he saw the small baby bump, he used his x-ray vision and could see a child growing in her womb. His child. He stumbled back and sat on a chair, shock covering his face.
"The child is draining her life force to sustain itself. I do not know what I can do? If we lose Diana, the child will not survive, it is not developed enough. If we abort the child, Diana should live, but is that what she would want."
It was Donna who answered, "No, she would not. She would give her life to protect this child, why else would she hide in Valhalla. She wanted to make sure it was safe. There must be another way."
Clark stood up, "I am going to the Fortress, maybe Jor-el will have information. I am not letting either one die." Before Clark left, he leaned down to Diana's ear and whispered, "Diana, please stay strong, fight, I will keep you and our child safe, just stay with me!"
Lois was not waiting patiently outside. She had her ear pressed to the door, trying to hear whatever she could. Unfortunately, she could not hear anything. As she was straining to catch even a whisper, the door opened and Lois fell to the ground. She looked up and her husband didn't even bother to help her up, he was already flying down the hallway. As Lois stood up, she brushed off the dirt and took the opportunity to look around the room. All she was met with were angry eyes.
Hippolyta had reached her breaking point (granted that didn't take very long, but still…). She grabbed Lois by the arm and physically threw her from the room. Hippolyta stepped out of the room closely followed by an angry God, sister, and Martian.
"Lois Lane! I am in awe of your tenacity. It is a great quality in a woman. I would be quite impressed if I was not so furious. You have completely disregarded the will of a Queen, but most importantly the will of a mother. My daughter is dying. Do you have no compassion for your fellow sister?"
"She is no sister of mine!" Lois quickly spat.
"I see. You have allowed your jealousy over my daughter to erase your common sense. I can see you have lost control of your faculties. This is where I must step in and help you!" The Queen turned toward J'onn.
"J'onn Jones, I will have you remove Lois Lane from my sight, and kept under lock and key. If you cannot keep her under control, I will. If she comes near my daughter again, I will consider it an act of war and I will take charge of her permanently. Are we clear?"
Lois was left sputtering. "I am Superman's wife, you can not treat me this way!"
