A/N: New chappie thanks so much to my reviewer that gave me such wonderful ideas.

Chapter 6:

Lex awoke with his phone buzzing, sounding his every four hour alarm. He quickly shut it off not wanting to wake the other people in his bed. He turned to his son first, and felt his head, his fever had finally broke, he sighed in relief, and then took in the women sleeping soundly next to his son. He took her in quietly, she seemed to be peaceful and she was beautiful, her blonde hair was all over the place, and she was snoring just a little, but she was still beautiful because she loved his son like her own when his own mother couldn't just because half his chromosomes had belonged to Lex. He stared at her, and she must have felt his gaze because her mossy orbs opened up and saw him. "Alex is he ok?" she whispered not wanting to wake the finally peaceful child, and then looked at the baby, feeling his forehead. "He's fine Chloe this isn't the first time this has happened; I normally just watch him sleep in his room Lana didn't want him in the bed, or to watch over him, but she wasn't here so I just thought it'd be more comfortable this way. You didn't have to stay." He told her watching her watch Alex until he said that last sentence then she looked at him, "I couldn't I'm sorry if I'm crossing boundaries Lex, but he was ill and I couldn't just leave him even though I knew you could handle it I just needed to reassure myself."

"You're not crossing boundaries Chloe I promise you that. I just wanted to let you know that you don't have to stay." Even though that would have been a total lie he felt much better knowing he had back up in case he didn't wake up to give Alex his medicine.

"Yes I did. I'm hungry I'm going to make breakfast, and then go to work." She got up carefully not wanting to wake Alex up. He sighed in wonder as the blonde left the room. He gently picked up his son, and took him back to his room to let him sleep in a little. After setting up the baby monitor he joined Chloe in the kitchen. "I'm letting Alex sleep a little." He told her after she had a questioning look on her face one she reserves only for Alex. She nodded and returned to scrambling their eggs. He placed Alex in his highchair, and sat down. He felt peaceful, and content for the moment, enjoying the quiet and domesticity of the moment, he admired the blonde reporter for a moment, simply taking her in she was barefoot, and his old sweats swallowed her small frame. She'd somehow found a hair tie, and her shoulder length hair was pulled into a small ponytail. She was humming off tune softly and rocked side to side. He wanted to dance with her one day.

Chloe turned around with the finished eggs and saw him staring directly at her butt. "Lex." There was no response, and the thought that he got so distracted by her butt was very flattering, and made her stomach flip slightly. She put a few pieces on Alex's tray then prepared two plates for her and Lex. When she set his plate down in front of him it seemed to snap him out of it, "thank you Chloe."

She smiled at him, and kept an eye on Alex in her peripheral vision. "Mrs. Kent called me yesterday, and um she was wondering when I'll bring Alex by again." He told him tentatively.

"Again, she has seen him before now?" he asked her surprised and yet again wondering how much his wife kept from him when it came to their son.

Chloe sighed, "I guess Lana kept that from you too. Lex I'm sorry. Yes Mrs. Kent has seen Alex, I was in a relationship with her son, and since I was also Alex's gadmother at the time those two things were occasionally overlapped. Sometimes Lana would call me saying that she had been stressed all week, and desperately needed a break from motherhood, so I would go get Alex, and on the nights I had a date with Clark we would stay at the farm with Alex, and Mrs. Kent loves babies so she scooped him up, and didn't set him down 'til I left." She explained in an apologetic tone.

He sighed and rubbed his head, "Chloe don't be sorry we were both blind to the fact that Lana wasn't the mother of the year." He told her taking a moment to look at his son, who was happily playing with his eggs. "Mrs. Kent can hang out with Alex whenever she wants to; give her my number please so she can ask me herself."

"Thanks Lex I will, I need to get ready to go to work." She gathered the dishes up and placed them in the sink. She left, and Lex stared after her a moment. Then Alex began to get fussy, and grabbed him out the highchair, to give him a bath since he was covered in eggs.

Lex worked from home today, and Chloe had left about two hours ago, and Lex was spectacularly bored. Then his phone rang. "Lex Luthor." He answered.

"Lex hello this is Martha Kent Chloe gave me your number."

"Hello Mrs. Kent how are you?"

"Oh I'm fine, and you."

"I'm really well actually, how's Mr. Kent."

"He's fine too, now why did Chloe give me your number, especially since that I haven't heard from her since the incident with my son?" she said with a hint of sadness at the end of her statement.

"I recently found out about the time that you have spent with Alex, and I just wanted you to know that if you wish to see Alex you can, but please ask me from now on." He told her hoping that he was being respectful enough to the woman that his son would most likely view as a grandmother.

"Oh I didn't know that you didn't know about the fact that I spent time with him I'm really sorry. Next time you're in Smallville if you have time could you perhaps drop him off I'd love to see him he is such a sweetie." She said hoping he would go for it.

"How about you and Chloe go out to lunch, and Alex will be with her, just set it up with her, and she'll tell me the day that way you get to spend time with Chloe too." He said smiling because he knew that Chloe loved Mrs. Kent like a mother, he did too, everyone in their small group of friends did.

"Thank you Lex I appreciate that." He could hear the smile on her face, and that made him smile too.
