Chapter 6

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted an update hopefully this really long update will cover for it. I had a term paper to write and I was really busy.

Chloe woke up in the morning and everything felt weird and different. She wasn't sure where she was. She got out of the bed and went out into the hallway she realized that she was at her dad's house but she couldn't remember why she was here. The last thing she remembered was being in the car with Emma on her way to see Clark. She went downstairs to the kitchen where her dad was sitting with Emma.

"Good morning Chloe."

"Dad what am I doing here?"

"What do you mean Chloe?"

"I mean the last thing i remember is being in the car with Emma and a car coming towards us."

"The car hit you Chloe you hit your head on the steering wheel and lost your memory. Clark thought that it would be better if you stayed here."

"I have to talk to Clark I have to tell him about Emma."

"He already knows Chloe. Why did you lie to Lex and to me?"

"I had to."

"Why Chloe? You really hurt Lex."

"I didn't mean to hurt anyone I needed money dad and I was stupid to use Lex for that."

"Chloe I didn't raise you to be like that."

"I know and I feel awful but I paid Lex back."

"You shouldn't have of lied you need to go talk to Lex and I think he would still like to see Emma."

"I will talk to him dad I just need to go see Clark first."

"I will watch Emma for you."

"Thank you."

Chloe left the house and drove to the Kent farm. She went up to the door and knocked on it. Martha came to the door.

"Chloe how are you and Emma?"

"We are fine Mrs. Kent did Clark tell you?"

"Yes he did. So when am I going to meet my grand child?"

"Soon I promise is Clark here I need to talk to him."

"Yes he is in his room and I was just headed out so you can go in and talk to him."

"Alright."

Martha left and Chloe went up to Clark's room and knocked on the door.

"Come on in."

Chloe opened the door to his room and smiled at him.

"Chloe hey what's up?"

"I got my memory back but I can't remember anything that has happened since I was in the car with Emma."

"Your dad probably told you about everything that has happened?"

"Yes he did and after this I have to go talk to Lex."

"Why did you lie Chloe?"

"To protect your secret and to protect Emma. Ever since she was born she was always different from normal kids she never got sick or hurt and she was incredibly smart."

"Just like me."

"Yes and I thought you were in love with Lana I thought that if I told you that we had a baby you wouldn't care and I would be hurt again. I know you never hurt me."

"I would never do that to you or to Emma."

"I know that now."

"Does she have powers?"

"I don't think so but she might develop them."

"Why didn't you just lie to Lex about who Emma's father was?"

"Because he offered to support us and I needed money I couldn't afford Emma. I have paid him back though and I never meant to hurt him the way I did."

"I know you didn't Chloe but he thought Emma was his for a long time he loves her."

"I know he does and if it is alright with you I was going to tell Lex he could still see her."

"I don't mind Emma seems to have a bond with him anyway."

"I should go talk to him. Will you come by later?"

"Yes."

"See you later then bye."

"Bye."

Chloe left the farm and went over to the mansion. She was nervous not sure what Lex would think of her. He had ever right to hate her. She just hoped he wouldn't do anything drastic to her. Chloe entered Lex's office where he was sitting behind his desk he look up as she came in.

"Chloe."

"Lex look I know you are mad at me I'm not sure how much since I forgot everything that happened since I have been in Smallville again all I remember is all the events that took place before the accident."

"You really hurt me Chloe why did you lie?"

"I'm not going to lie to you Lex but I needed your money if I didn't get any I wouldn't be able to keep Emma. I'm sorry I lied to you but I have paid you back."

"So she is Clark's?"

"Yes."

" So you used me for my money and made me fall in love with her and she isn't even mine."

"I'm sorry Lex but I am not going to keep Emma from you. You can see her whenever you want to."

"Does she want to?"

"Yes she loves you Lex ad if I kept her from you she would break down."

"I will call when I want to see her."

"I'm sorry Lex and if you can't ever forgive me I understand what I did was wrong and I hurt you that was never my intention."

"I don't think I can forgive you for this Chloe you made me believe something and I thought it was true I thought that I finally had someone who would love me unconditionally."

"Lex she still loves you and you love her."

"Yes but she isn't mine."

"I'm sorry she isn't yours if you do get a child one day though I am sure you will make a great father."

"I have a meeting to attend to so if you don't mind you should go."

"Bye Lex and again I am sorry."

Chloe left the mansion and drove back to her dad's house.

When Chloe got home she came into the kitchen and was surprised to see a frustrated Clark sitting at the table.

"Hi Clark what are you doing here?"

"Hey your dad asked me to watch Emma."

"So where is she?"

"She locked herself in her room."

"Why? What happened?"

"Your dad said she needed to clean her room and he told me to tell her so I did and then she said she hated me and I wasn't her boss and then she ran to her room and locked herself in."

"Clark there isn't a lock on Emma's door."

"Well it won't budge and I thought that if I broke it down it would just cause more problems."

"Come on let's go sort this out."

Chloe and Clark went up to Emma's room. Chloe tried the door but it wouldn't budge just like Clark said.

"Emma open the door please."

"Is Clark with you?" Emma shouted from behind the door

"Yes."

"Then I am not going to open it."

"What do you have in front of the door?"

"My dresser."

"How did you move that? It weighs more than you do."

"I don't know I just did."

"Emma please open the door me and Clark just want to talk to you."

"Well I don't want to talk to Clark."

"Emma if you do not open the door this isn't then you are going to get grounded."

"Fine."

Emma moved her dresser away from the door and opened the door. Then she went over and sat down on her bed and put her head down knowing she was in trouble. Chloe went into her room and sat down on Emma's bed next to her. Clark stood in the doorway.

"Now what has gotten into you? You never used to do this."

"I don't know."

"Clark has every right to tell you what to do now and you need to listen to him."

"Why? Why didn't he have the right before? Why did he hurt you? Is he going to try to hurt me too?"

Clark went over to Emma.

"Emma I would never hurt you or your mom. When your mom was hurt before that was just a misunderstanding."

"So why weren't you with us before now?"

"That was my fault Emma I should have of told Clark and you that he was your father." Chloe said

"I just don't understand why I have to listen to someone I don't even know."

"Can't you get to know me Emma can't we be friends for now?" Clark said

"Friends don't tell each other what to do."

"Sometimes friends do when they know what is best for you." Clark said

"How do you know what i best for me? You don't even know me."

"You are right I don't know you but I want to and I was a kid once trust me I know what is right and what is wrong." Clark said

"And what you did today to Clark was very wrong." Chloe said

"I'm sorry it's just I really don't understand this."

"I know and that is why we are going to figure it all out." Clark said

"Okay."

"Clark and I both love you very much and when we tell you to do something you listen okay?"

"Okay mommy."

"Now me and Clark are going to be downstairs if you need anything. Please clean your room."

"Okay."

Clark and Chloe left the room and went downstairs and sat on the couch.

"Did I do okay?" Clark asked

"Yes you did really well it's just hard for her right now."

"It's hard for me too."

"I know I wish I hadn't of been so stupid I should've told you."

"Chloe you are not stupid. You thought that I hurt you and if you told me about Emma I would just hurt her too."

"If I could've stayed for one more minute then none of this would've happened You, Emma, and me would all be a family."

"We are a family right now we just need to sort things out first."

"I don't know where we stand though Clark."

"What do you mean Chloe?"

"I mean do you still want to be with me?"

"Of course I do why wouldn't I?"

"Because of all the things I have done."

"Chloe I don't care about those things the truth is out now isn't?"

"Yes."

"Well then no more worries."

"Thank you Clark for being understanding."

"I love you Chloe."

"I love you too."

"How did things go with Lex?"

"As good as they could've gone I guess. He wants to see her sometimes."

"Can we trust him?"

"I don't think Lex would do anything to hurt Emma."

"No but he would to hurt us."

"I don't think he is going to do anything Clark but if he brings Emma back a minute late you can go super speed and try to find them."

"I'm serious Chloe."

"I am too Lex is very punctual so if he is late then you can go out and look."

"You are right about that."

"See we have plenty of plans up our sleeves."

"Yeah and I hate to leave you but I have to go do farm chores."

"It's okay I was thinking why don't you take Emma tomorrow that way she can meet your mom and you can show her around the barn so you get to know each other better."

"Sounds good I will be here around ten."

"Okay I will make sure she is ready and well behaved."

"Bye Chloe."

"Bye Clark."

They kissed each other goodbye. Then Clark left and Chloe went upstairs to check on Emma. When she got up to her room everything was cleaned up and then she noticed Emma on her bed crying. Chloe went over to her picked her up and put her on her lap. She brushed the hair out of her eyes.

"Emma what is wrong?"

"Nothing I am fine."

"No you are not tell me baby please?"

"I just don't like this."

"I know it is something you have to get used to."

"Okay."

"Is there anything else wrong?"

"Why can't Lex be my dad?"

"What do you mean?"

"He told me one time that he was."

"When did he tell you that?"

"One time when you were at work and he was watching me."

"Emma you know that Clark is your dad. I did talk to Lex though and he said you could come over sometimes."

"Really when can I go?"

"Well Clark is going to take you tomorrow to show you where he lives so maybe the next day."

"Okay."

"Are you tired?"

"Yes."

"Take a nap then I will be downstairs if you need me."

"Okay mommy."

Chloe tucked Emma and then she went downstairs.

The next day Emma and Clark had just gotten to the farm. Clark took Emma inside to meet Martha. Martha was in the kitchen making food for them all she was nervous about meeting her grandchild. When Martha heard the screen door close she turned around and smiled at Clark and Emma. Clark came over to Martha and Emma followed.

"Hey mom."

"Hi sweetheart and you must be Emma."

"Yes hi."

"So what is for break feast mom?"

"Bacon and eggs I just finished. I hope you like bacon and eggs Emma."

"Yes I do thank you for having me over Mrs. Kent."

"You are very welcome."

Clark pulled out a chair for Emma and she sat down and Clark went over and helped Martha put the food on plates. Then they all sat down to eat.

"Where was mommy going today?"

"She is trying to get a job at the Daily Planet."

"Oh ok."

"Is your food okay?" Martha asked

"Yes thank you it's very good. Mommy never makes anything like this usually she burns it."

Clark laughed remembering how many times Chloe had tried to cook for them. They always ended up going out or Clark making something.

"Are you going to be here all day Mrs. Kent?"

"No sweetie I have a meeting."

"For what?"

"I am senator we have a big meeting today. I have to leave after break feast. I hope you will come by more often and your mom too I would love to see both of you."

"I will tell her."

Emma had finished eating before Clark and Martha so she sat there waiting for them to finish.

"You sure are a fast eater." Martha said

"I was very hungry."

"Well I am glad you enjoyed it. Now I hate to leave so soon but I really have to go. Don't worry about the dishes Clark I will do them when I get back you two just have fun."

"We will mom."

Martha cleaned up her plate and took Clark's and Emma's too she put them in the sink.

"Bye Emma."

"Bye Mrs. Kent."

"Bye mom."

"Bye Clark."

Martha went out the door and they heard the car start up and leave. Emma stared at Clark.

"So what do we do now?" she asked

"We can go see the animals. Do you like animals?"

"Yes do you have horses?"

"Yeah come on I will show you."

Clark and Emma went out to the barn and Clark showed her the horses. She petted them all.

"You like horses?"

"Yes mommy won't let me ride one though she says they are too dangerous."

"Maybe when you get older."

Shelby ran into the barn and he ran up to Emma and licked her face.

"You have a dog?"

"Yes his name is Shelby."

"Mommy won't let me get a dog either I asked her for one before. I guess I asked about it too much though because one time she got really mad and we haven't talked about it since."

"Well you can come play with Shelby but he is getting old."

"What's up there?" Emma asked as she pointed towards the loft.

"It's like my fortress."

"Can I see?"

"Of course."

Clark led Emma up into the loft and showed her around. Emma was looking through the telescope. Clark was looking through his boxes when a piece of red kryptonite pierced his finger. His eyes burned and he turned towards Emma. Emma had finished looking through the telescope and was looking at Clark.

"What do we do now Clark."

"You are to call me dad."

"I thought you said it was okay if I called you Clark."

"Well it isn't okay anymore."

"Clark why are you acting funny?"

"What did I tell you? And quit asking questions it is annoying."

Emma stared at Clark with scared eyes she had never seen him like this before.

"Don't look at me like that. Let's go I want to show you something."

"I don't want to go with you."

"I am your father and you will do whatever I tell you too."

"No I don't have to."

"Didn't your mommy tell you to listen to me?"

"Yes."

"So listen and come with me."

"I don't want to."

"I don't give a damn what you want now let's go."

Clark grabbed Emma by her arm and dragged her down the loft stairs she was trying to fight him but he was too strong. Emma knew that this wasn't Clark something had happened. He was dragging her across the field when she slipped from his grip and started to run. But Clark caught her and hit her hard across the face.

"You need to listen to me."

Tears filled Emma's eyes and she ran again this time she ran faster and when she realized that she had no clue where she was going she ended up at a mansion. She wondered how she had gotten there so fast and who lived there but she knew that if she wanted to get away from Clark she would just have to go in. Tears were still in Emma's eyes she was scared and confused and she was hurt. She went into the mansion a security guard was there and he stared at her.

"Can I help you miss?"

"Do you live here?"

"This is Mr. Luthor's home."

"Lex?"

"Yes do you know him?"

"Yes can I see him please."

The security guard stared at the child's face fear was written all over it and he thought what could a kid do. So he brought here into Lex's office where he was sitting behind his desk.

"Mr. Luthor you have a visitor."

Lex stared at Emma she stood near the door she had obviously been crying and she looked so scared he came over to Emma and knelt in front of her.

"Emma what happened?"
