Chapter 17
One Week Later
Diana had just finished feeding the horses when Clark dropped next to her.
"Good Morning Clark!"she smiled.
"Diana, how are you feeling?" Clark had flown in from Metropolis a half hour ago. He saw Diana feeding and talking to the animals. He had been watching her the whole time, he was in awe of her beauty.
"I am a little tired, but I am fine, and have been fine for the last 30 minutes you have been watching me."
"Whoops! You caught me! I just worry about you and the baby." Clark smiled. He was on edge worrying about Diana when he wasn't here. As soon as he saw her, he calmed down considerably.
"I know, and I promise you, we are fine. Although, you would know that better than anyone." Diana laughed as she gently placed a hand on her baby bump.
It was true, every time he visited, the first thing Clark did was look at the baby. He was constantly checking on him. Clark laughed as well. It struck him again, how beautiful Diana was.
He was staring at her again. Every once in a while, Clark would get a funny look on his face and stare at Diana. He would look at her with a hunger she recognized from the night they created their baby.
"How is Lois?" Diana asked. It was the quickest way to bring Clark out of his thoughts.
Clark sighed, "She is better, she says she is not sure if she wants a divorce, but she can't forgive me yet. The one thing she wants me to do is the one thing I can't do…" Clark sighed again.
"Are you sure? What is it? Maybe I can help?" Diana didn't know what else to do.
One Week Ago
Clark returned home to the apartment in Metropolis. He could see Lois was asleep on the bed. He decided to make dinner so they could talk.
When Lois came out of the kitchen, she was greeted by the smells of cooking food.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Making you some dinner." Clark explained. " I know you are upset, and we have a lot to talk about, but Lois…"
"A lot to talk about, Clark, you cheated on me with the super slut! There is nothing to talk about. She is having your baby."
"Lois, I love you so much, please, just…can't we find a way to work this out!" Clark begged.
Lois was quiet all of a sudden, "Okay, you want to prove to me you love me, I want you to swear you will never see Diana again."
"Lois, I swear I will never do that to you again. I promise. I love you!" Clark felt happy, he could make Lois happy, this was an easy promise.
"No Clark! I want you to swear you will never see her again. No talking to her, or looking at her, no more working with her at the league. I never want you to set eyes on her again. Do you understand?"
"Lois, she's pregnant with my child, I am going to have to talk to her, and see her."
"No you don't, she can drop the child off with your mother, and then you can go pick the child up. We can have lawyers draw up a custody agreement, and we won't ever have to see her. I want her out of our life."
"Lois, please, that is just not possible." Clark had been trying to reason with Lois, but she was too angry.
"Then I want a divorce!"
"Sorry, Diana, I don't think this is something you can help me on." Clark responded. "She has agreed to wait on filing for divorce. I am now trying to see if she will go to a marriage counselor."
"It sounds like she is trying, that is good news." Diana smiled for her friend.
