Back In Time
By MyDreamWithinADream

Helllloooo everybody. Thank you for all the wonderful reviews, you guys are positively awesome! So here it is, the next chapter of our story, I hope that its to your liking. Also, I have written another one shot which I think you would like so jump onto my page and have a read of that :) Anyway on with the chapter.

"I still don't understand why we couldn't of made the appointment on a weekend." Lois huffed as she walked over to her desk at in the bull pen. Looking around her desk she was saddened to see that the last maple doughnut had once again been taken. Stupid interns thinking that they can just take whatever they want. We need our doughnut to function, that and coffee. Which I guess we can't have now. Lois thought to herself sadly.
"Because the sooner we figure out what this pregnancy will be like the sooner we can get prepared." Clark reasoned with Lois but noticed she was staring hungrily at the new intern eating the last maple doughnut and drinking a coffee. The coffee he knew that she couldn't have, but the doughnut, that he could get for her. While Lois was still staring at the object of her desire Clark super sped out of the Planet and returned moments later with a maple doughnut in one hand and a decaffeinated coffee in the other.

Lois hearing an all too familiar whooshing sound turned around to see Clark standing there with her two favourite morning foods.
"Have I ever told you that you're my hero?" Lois smiled as she stood up and took the food out of Clark's hand.
"It may have been said once or twice." He replied and moved around to sit at his desk opposite hers. "The appointments at 3:00, be there on time. Not Lois time please." He finished and started to write up a story. Lois rolled her eyes at Clark and continued to eat her doughnut in peace. So far she hadn't gotten any cravings, but she figured it was still early on. The day progressed much in the usual way, Lois would occasionally shout, Clark would fly off to save the world and Lois and Cat would have their usual banter. Occasionally Clark would look over at Lois and she her resting her hands and her stomach and couldn't help the megawatt smile that crept onto his face.

By around 2:30 things were beginning to slightly slow down so Lois took the opportunity to walk over to the doughnut box and take what she realised was her fourth glazed doughnut during the day.
"Lois, I know that some men like bigger women, but come on if you don't ease up on those doughnut we're not going to be able to fit you in the bullpen anymore." Cat sneered as she walked over to Lois and moved the box away from her.
"Speaking from personal experience there are we Cat." Lois retorted as she pulled the box back over to her. "Besides I work all my food off. Something you might consider."
Car rolled her eyes and walked over the water cooler. "I never imagined Clark as loving the bigger women. Especially after his last girlfriend. Wasn't she just beautiful."

Cheap shot! Lois thought to herself, not that she was concerned about Lana or anything. She realised a while ago that Lana was the past, and her, the present. She had nothing to be worried about. Still Lois started to get a knot in her stomach, but passed it off as eating that last doughnut to fast.
"See that right there Cat is why you're single. You care too much about the apperan—" Lois couldn't finish her sentence however as she realised that the knot in her stomach was actually a bout of morning sickness about to get the best of her. Covering her mouth with her hand Lois ran past Cat-knocking her down on purpose- to the nearest bathroom.

Cat picked herself off the ground and followed Lois to the bathroom.
"Lois are you okay?" Cat asked, insincerely as she tapped on the bathroom door.
"GO AWAY!" Lois yelled and managed to make Cat jump slightly.
"Okay, sorry for trying to help." Cat hissed and walked out of the bathroom, only to run into Clark waiting around Lois's desk.
"Hey Cat have you seen Lois?" Clark asked as her scanned around the bull pen.
"Yeah I think she ate one to many doughnuts today Clark, she's in the bathroom throwing up. Best to keep an eye on her, I think she may be eating her feelings." Cat answered and attempted to come off as concerned. Clark thanked Cat quickly then walked over to bathroom Cat had directed him to.
"Lois? Are you alright?" Instead of getting an answer he got a door in his face and a very red eyed Lois standing in front of him.
"Let's go, quickly before I have a chance to punch Cat out." Lois said dangerously as she walked past Clark and went and picked up her bang and proceeded to walk out of the bull pen.
Something told Clark that this was going to be a long nine months.

"It's good to see you Emil." Clark said as he and Lois took a seat in his office. Looking around Clark noticed that nothing really changed in this office. The pictures on the wall stayed the same as did the furniture and thins on the desk. "I see nothing's changed in here."
Emil laughed at Clark's obvious joke, "Why change what's working for you." Emil retorted then got down to business. "So Clark I believe that you have some questions for me."
Clark nodded "I wanted to know if this pregnancy would be safe on Lois."
"Honestly Clark, I can't imagine why not. You said yourself that your abilities only surfaced when you were a child. This leads me to believe that while the child is in the womb it does not develop its powers. As you yourself have noticed it is the yellow sun that gives you your strengths, once the child is exposed, that is when its powers will start to build." Emil explained and noticed Clarks features start to relax slightly. He could understand Clark's nervousness.

"So there's nothing we need to worry about?" Lois asked, her hands resting on her stomach, protecting the life inside her. "Clark just had his panties in a bunch about nothing."
Clark looked at Lois with disapproval over her less than classy expression.
"While I do not believe that the child growing inside Lois can do any harm to her, Clark does raise some legitimate concerns." Emil answered.
"How so?" Clark asked then looked over at Lois who seemed to share his curiosity.
"As Clark pointed out to you, the child could indeed be half kryptonian. Which means that this pregnancy may in fact turn out to take on traits of a kryptonian pregnancy, something we know little about. Which is why I wanted to ask Clark some questions."
Clark could sense the types of questions that Emil was going to ask and knew that he would be little help.
"Emil, I know really nothing about a kryptonian pregnancy, but I know someone who might."

"Who?" Emil asked, more than a little curious.
"Jor-el. Would it be alright if I take you to the fortress to ask him the questions? As a man of science I'm sure he'd know more about this subject then me." Clark asked.
"I would be honoured. This would be a great leaning experience." Emil answered. Lois heard the excitement in his voice and couldn't help but chuckle. To her he sounded like a child on Christmas day.
"When would we be going?"
"Now if you haven't got too many things to do. The sooner we know about this stuff the better." Clark answered truthfully. He wanted to get some straight answers to put his mind to rest, plus he also wanted to know how long he would have to put up with a pregnant Lois.

"No no. Now is fine. You were my last appointment for the day." Emil said, trying to hold in his excitement.
"Okay." Clark nodded. "Lois are you alright to drive home?"
"I think I can manage that." Lois said then stood up and gave Clark a kiss on the cheek. "Tell ice daddy to be nice." She joked as she walked out of the office.

The drive back to the farm had been too long in Lois's book. It was times like these that made her wonder why they didn't stay in their apartment in Metropolis more often. She knew that Clark loved the farm, and she too thought of it as a second home, but it was just so far away. However considering the baby that she would bring into the world soon, she figured that the farm was the best place for a baby. Especially if there was a chance of it having Clark's abilities. By the time Lois had gotten to the farm she was starving. Looking in the fridge she found some chicken and salsa and decided just to put them together. The idea not completely disgusting her as it usually would have. After making her food she sat on the couch and began to eat, looking at the clock she realised that Clark and Emil had been at the fortress for around 4 hours her time. They better be getting some good information. I miss Clark's cooking. Lois thought as she finished her meal.

After sitting on the couch for a while Lois decided that she should go for a shower and get cleaned up. Walking to the bathroom Lois couldn't help but get the feeling that someone was watching her, looking around she couldn't see anyone but Shelby and realised that she was being stupid. After having a nice relaxing shower Lois walked into the room that her and Clark shared. She stopped when she came to the full length mirror and couldn't help but drop the towel and look at her currently flat stomach. Lois couldn't stop the smile that spread onto her face at the idea of having a life inside of her. Just as she was about to turn away she caught sight of something in the mirror, for a second she could have sworn that she saw someone else staring out at her through the reflection. After taking another look Lois couldn't see anything but herself. I think I need to sleep more. Lois thought to herself as she shook her head and walked over to the bed, slipped on a top and decided to take a nap.

Finally she caught a glimpse as to where Kal-el was. Her powers, both physical and mental, were not yet at full power, but she could still channel her priestess powers enough to use a simple channelling spell. Standing up from her meditative state, the kryptonian beauty looked around the room she was currently residing in. The human's had not put up much of a fight, not that they could of anyway. Walking over to the bathroom the women looked in the mirror and noticed that the yellow sun was slowly healing her damaged skin. Her face was now healed and seemed to look like a woman of 26 or so and her raven hair was fuller and longer than before. Perfection. Thought the women as she walked back out into the main room. One question still plagued her mind however, who was the woman she saw through the mirror.
"Surely she could not be Kal-el's life mate." She whispered, her voice smooth and seductive. "Whatever she is, she will need to be removed in order for me to complete my plans." With that in mind the kryptonian priestess returned her to meditative state and began to form a plan.

So what did you think? Read and review :)
