Lois hated waiting rooms. She had never been known for her patience so it only made sense for her to hate a room that was specifically designed for waiting. Looking around Lois got the feeling that the other people in the room were of the same opinion. There was a mother and child who were especially making her edgy, as the child keep running around and sneezing on everything he touched. I hope they sterilize everything at the end of the day, she though and decided to preoccupy herself with a magazine. After what felt like an eternity Lois finally saw Emil give her the signal to come into his office.
"So Lois it's been awhile, how are you and Clark?" Emil asked as he took a seat behind his desk and invited Lois to do the same. Lois smiled at her old friend and became a lot less agitated then before.

"We're good. Clarks saving the world one person at a time and I'm staying out of trouble- for now." Lois added and smiled when Emil gave a light chuckle. Lois's ability to get into trouble was starting to become her most recognizable trait.
"So then, what brings you into my office Lois?" Emil questioned straightening his glasses, "it can't just be for a jellybean."
"Honestly, I wouldn't be here if Clark wasn't the nervous nelly that he is. Lately I've been feeling really tired all the time and as of two days ago I started throwing up." Lois explained and watched as Emil typed her information into the computer.
"Have you been eating something lately that you think you may be allergic to?"
"No. It's basically after I eat anything I get a queasy feeling and just-you know." She replied.

Emil nodded and then continued to type some information into his computer.
"Lois when are you do for your next period?" Emil asked looking up from his computer. Lois felt slightly awkward telling Emil that but remembered that he was a doctor and she was his patient at this time. Counting back in her mind Lois was surprised to work out that her period should have come at least a week ago. After telling Emil what he needed to know and ordering a urine test, Emil asked Lois to wait patiently while he obtained the results. When Emil walked back into the office Lois noticed that he had a confused look on his face, this slightly worried Lois.
"Well what's the verdict Doc? Should I start drawing up a will?" Lois said, brushing off her anxiety with humour.

"Honestly Lois I don't know what to say." Emil said and read over the papers in his hand. "I never thought that this would be the cause of your illness."
Lois studied the look on Emil's face and when she couldn't read it she decided to just straight up ask.
"Well what is it? You're giving me a heart attack with all this suspense."
"Lois." Emil said placing the paper down on his desk and running a hand through his hair, "you're pregnant."
The two sat in silence while Lois absorbed what Emil just said. It was a joke right? He himself had told them that conceiving a child would be near impossible due to the differences in their biological make up.

"I thought you said that it was impossible." Lois said while she thought about the fact that she had a baby Lois or Clark growing inside her as she spoke. "You told us that our bodies were just too different."
"It was your genetic make up that lead me to believe that. But by some miracle you have in fact conceived a child. Now while I am happy for both you and Clark I must warn you that this type of thing has never occurred before, which means we have no knowledge as of how this pregnancy will play out or what the potential risks may be." Emil warned as he saw Lois's face begin to light up. "I will have to ask Clark what he knows of Kryptonian pregnancies and durations."

Lois still couldn't believe it, now it all made sense, the tiredness, sickness and dreams-they were all signs. She actually felt stupid for not seeing it before. She couldn't wait to tell Clark, to see the look on his face when she tells him that he's going to be a father.
"Listen Emil I was wondering if I could tell Clark first, just to see the look on his face, then we'll come back to you and discuss all that stuff." Lois said in a rush as she got up and was basically running to the door. "Thank you so much Emil." She added as she closed the door behind her and ran out of the building. Emil was staring at the door after Lois had left with a smile on his face.
"Good luck Clark."

Pregnant. Lois Lane was going to be a mother.
The whole idea both excited and scared her at the same time-which she assumed, was normal. On the drive back from Emil's office to the Daily Planet Lois's mind kept thinking about the life that was growing inside of her. Would it be a boy or a girl? Human or Kryptonian? Have Lois's hit 'em hard attitude or Clark's gentle farm boy nature. All the possibilities kept swirling around in her head. As she walked into the bull pen the first thing she saw was Clark- not that he was hard to miss. Suddenly a new question popped into her head, perhaps the most important one- how to tell Clark?

She figured that a simple pat on the back and "congratulations Smallvillie." Just wasn't gonna cut it.
As she walked over to her desk she couldn't help but notice the snide look that Cat gave her. Oh this will just piss Cat off! Lois thought will glee, as the idea about telling Cat of her and Clarks child came into her head. Easy Lois, one thing at a time. Step one: tell the father. Lois decided as she sat at her shared desk across from Clark.
"So how did it go?" Clark asked looking up from his work to see Lois caught up in her own thoughts. Not that he'd say anything, but the whole time she has been gone he was driving himself crazy with worry. Lois broke away from her thoughts and looked up at Clark and could tell that he was waiting for her to give him the all clear.

"Maybe we should wait until we get home. I have kinda big news." Lois said quietly, being purposely vague, just for her own enjoyment. Despite how much their relationship had evolved since the early years, she still liked to annoy Clark from time to time.
"How big is big Lois?" Clark said standing up and walking over to sit on the edge of her desk, his mind beginning to panic.
"Massive."

So whatya think? Love it, hate it, review it :)
