Chapter 10: Lana Returns
----
Two months had passed since the night Lex had unknowingly confessed his love to Chloe. She now had a slight bump, which Lois calls 'her little speed bump' much to Lex's annoyance. And Lex finds a way to touch every chance he can get. Not that she minded after all it was his kid too when it moved the first time he looked at her stomach with utter fascination, until he reached over tentatively and placed his hand over her stomach waiting for him/her to move again. Then he brought Mozart on a Walkman saying it made the baby smarter. Chloe found it cute and endearing. She realized a part of her was falling for him, and fast, but the rational side of brain blamed it on her hormones.

Chloe stood in Lex's office facing his desk with her back to the door, looking for his stapler. Then a familiar female voice made anger rise to the surface, "Hello Chloe."
Chloe whirled around to face the woman, "Lana long time no see." she didn't keep the cold edge out of her voice, had really no desire to.
She watched the brunette look Chloe over as if sizing her up, then her gaze dropped to her stomach, "Nice to see that you've watched your figure since I left Chloe." she said sneering.
Chloe rolled her eyes, "I'm not fat you idiot I'm pregnant, and before you ask yes it is Lex's; I giving him the chance at the family he's always wanted something you didn't want to do." she flew at her.
She watched Lana's eyes widen then narrow as a malicious smile curved her lips Chloe thought she just looked stupid, but didn't call her on it. "How long was it before you shared his bed especially after your small stay in 33.1" at the look of Chloe's shocked confusion, Lana continued, "I knew about you being there and the plan to make me jealous who'd have thought it would actually work."
Chloe made a sound in the back of her throat that sounded very similar to a strangled choke, "Do you have any idea what he put me through before you left him, then after it got so much worse, because I wouldn't give in to his scheme. All you had to do was tell someone, anyone after everything that has happened and all we've been through don't I at least deserve that." her voice had taken on a desperate edge and she felt utter betrayal at the woman she once she revered as a sister.
If you were there then he'd leave me alone, even though he still froze all of my accounts. Why didn't you agree immediately Chloe I mean it wouldn't be the first time you two slept together."
"What the hell are you talking about Lana." her tone now was exasperated.
"Oh come off it Chloe the whole town knows you slept with Lionel Jonior year, then whored yourself to Lex after Luthor Sr. kicked you to the curb." She moved towards Chloe as she began talking again. "How did it feel Chloe, to have Lex use you in that way then to completely discard you in favor of me hmm, how did it feel especially after Clark."
Chloe waited for Lana to move into position, unbeknownst to her, and with Lightening speed brought her palm to Lana's cheek, the sound reverberating in the room Lana held her cheek in shock, staring at Chloe completely stunned. Chloe was breathing heave, "Let me tell you something you cold hearted bitch, I have never slept with Lionel and I never will, and I have never slept with Lex until now." Chloe said keeping her voice down as not to alert anyone, and keeping up the pretense of married life with Lex, "Lex has changed with my help and and for the better and he no longer wants you, and so help me god if you do anything to undo the changes we have made I will bury you so far under ground they will never find you now get out." her voice was low and dangerous the threat evident in her tone.
"Not so fast Lana." A male voice familiar to both women in the room, sounded making them both turn in his direction. He walked over to stand behind Chloe wrapping his arms around her waist, the gesture was familiar only this time it wasn't staged and faked for their benefit in front of Lionel and Chloe's skin didn't crawl, she instead reveled in his calming presence, "Chloe's right Lana I do not want you any more in fact I adore my wife very much." he moved next to Chloe a protective stance in his posture, I could never want you after you killed our baby, your lucky I only froze your accounts instead of killing you, it was because of Chloe that I didn't; with her help and being by my side I have healed from all the pain you have inflicted upon me, before you inflict anymore take Chloe's advice and get out."
Lana narrowed her eyes at them; then turning on her heel left vowing that this wasn't over.
Chloe leaned against Lex's desk trying to calm down. She knew that her blood pressure was probably at a dangerous level due to the pounding of her head ache, and rapid heart beat. "Chloe are you alright?" Lex asked genuinely worried for his wife. She peered at her husband, and the dam that was holding back her tears obliterated. A sob escaped her throat and the tears began to fall. she buried her head in her hands, and she felt Lex pull her to him tightly wrapping his arms around her trying to comfort her.
About thirty minutes later Chloe looked up and locked her gaze with Lex's concerned one. Chloe realized this she didn't know when it had happened but she had forgiven him for everything he'd done to her to her family to everyone. She leaned up and gently pressed her lips to his, and he eagerly met hers. So they fell together body and soul. They stumbled to their bedroom, and Lex kept kissing her never wanting to stop. He did however pull away from her, "Chloe" he breathed, are you sure you want this, I need you to understand after tonight you'll be mine; after tonight I'll never let you go." she looked up at him a moment her breathing hitched a little at the intense gaze, and said, "Then make me yours tonight Lex." His heart picked up speed, and he crushed his lips to hers with every intention of doing what she asked of him.

Chloe laid her head on his chest breathing contentedly, just about to go to sleep, with the looming thought that this changed things exponentially in the back of her mind. Lex's hand rested at the top of her bump. She knew he wasn't asleep, he was thinking.
"I love you Chloe." there was a slight tremble of fear in his voice as he said that, if she hadn't known him as well as she did she wouldn't have noticed it. He then continued, "I know you could never love me back not with everything I have done to you, but I do love you."
He knew what was coming she would sigh and roll over and go to sleep ignoring him, and his chest ached, then she proved him wrong yet again, "I don't know what I feel for you Lex, I know I care about you a lot, and have forgiven you for everything you have done to me, but I don't know if what I feel has something to do with my hormones or not." they were both silent for a moment before Lex said "Thank you for forgiving me Chloe." he pulled her closer and they both fell into a deep sleep.
