Chapter 18

One Month Later

Clark and Lois were still working on their marriage. They have been seeing a marriage counselor.

Clark finds himself missing Diana more and more. He sees her once a week at least but it's as if there is a wall between them. They have drawn a line in the sand and neither will cross it. They don't discuss anything of importance anymore.

Clark knows that he will have to come clean about his affair to his friends and colleagues at the Daily Planet. Lois wants him to say that they have hired a surrogate to have their child. Clark is not comfortable with this lie. The child is Diana's and will live with her most of the time. How does Lois plan to explain that. They still need to tell the rest of the League. He was not looking forward to that.

Clark saw it was almost lunchtime. He wanted to stop by the farm and check up on Ma, Diana and the baby. He smiled. Just thinking about his son brought a huge smile to his face.

When Clark arrived to the farm, he flew to the barn and changed clothes.

When he walked into the house, he heard Diana giggling.

"Hello? Ma, Diana?" Clark called as he opened the front door.

"We're in here Clark?" he heard his mother call from the kitchen.

As Clark entered the kitchen he was met with two pairs of eyes watching him.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"I was just showing Diana some of your baby pictures, Clark." Martha smiled, turning his baby book towards him.

"I hope our son doesn't inherit your penchant of ripping off his diaper, Kal" Diana laughed.

Clark blushed. He was about to respond when he realized that Diana had called him Kal. Every once in a while, when they are discussing personal things or their child, she will slip and call him Kal. It has happened exactly 14…no 15 times now. Clark smiled.

Diana was laying in the grass outside. She had not slept all night. After Kal left, the child grew very active and kept her awake all night. She was just drifting to sleep, when she heard the car drive up the walk. She turned to greet Martha and was surprised to see Lois Lane-Kent walking towards her instead.

"Hello Lois," Diana greeted.

"I am not here for niceties Princess."Lois was upset.

"Then why are you here?" Diana had always respected Lois because of her relationship to Kal, but she was tired of giving respect to a woman who refused to do the same for her.

"I want you to leave and never come back. You have ruined my life."

"That is something I will not do." Diana turned to walk away, when Lois grabbed her arm.

"I am serious Princess, Clark loves me and only wants to be with me! The only reason he is putting up with you is because you are pregnant with his child." Lois sneered when Diana looked down.

"Why are you here? I have done nothing to stand between you and Clark's reconciliation." Diana responded.

"I am just sick of you, you fucked my husband!" Lois yelled.

Diana looked directly in Lois' face. "I made love to Kal. I know you don't want to hear it, but I loved him with my entire being. No, I do not regret making love to him, nor do I regret this child. I do regret that he was married, and that I helped him break his wedding vows. I am sorry about that Lois."

"You fucked, Diana, he never loved you. He told me. He wanted to know what it would be like to fuck someone and not have to hold back. He just used you just like the whore you are. He doesn't even want this child, but since you never gave him a choice, he will suffer for it."

"Kal loves his son." Diana held her bump.

"Clark and I think it would be best if you were not involved in the child's life. We would raise it as our own, and you could just go to hell!"

Diana hadn't realized she had hit Lois until Lois was no longer standing, but sitting on the ground holding her cheek.

She looked down at Lois, "even Zeus himself will not stop me if you ever come near me again, and we already know I am capable of protecting those I love however I need to."

Lois stood up. Her face felt like she ran cheek first into a brick wall. She knew she was going to have a very ugly bruise in a short time. She stood up and got in her car, she needed to get some ice.
