Back In Time

Hellloooooo my wonderful readers, how are we? Here it is, the newest chapter. Sorry about the wait, but I've been super busy. From now on I'll try to update faster. I promise. Anyway, on with the story….

Time had flown by since Lois found out she was pregnant. Everyone had been told by now and people close to the couple couldn't be happier. The idea of Lois and Clark having a child just seemed right. The most ecstatic of the people told had of course been Martha. When Lois and Clark told her the news there were tears and hugs all round. Martha had offered to stay at the farm to help out Lois and Clark, but they declined the offer, saying they had everything under control. Which was true, things were running smoothly with the pregnancy, Lois had been attending all her check up with Emil and every time the outcome was always the same. That the baby was healthy and developing exactly as Jor-el said it would. The only thing troubling- besides needing to pee abnormally frequently and her crazy mood swings- was how big she was getting.

She wasn't an idiot, she knew that her getting bigger was in inevitability, however she was only 22 weeks pregnant yet she was looking around 26 or 27 weeks. When she brought this issue up with Emil he assured her that it was expected for the baby to be slightly larger.
"Lois come on we're going to be late." Clark yelled from the kitchen as he waited for Lois to get ready. "Lois?" When Clark got no response from her he decided to go upstairs and see how she was going. When he got to the room her was surprised to see Lois sitting on the bed crying.
"Lois honey what's wrong?" Clark asked concern written all over his face. From about the 14th week onwards Lois had been experiencing mood swings no-stop, he could usually handle them pretty well, it was the people at work that got in her way that he felt sorry for.

"I'm so fat that I can't even fit into my nice maternity clothes. That's what's the matter!" Lois said between sobs. Her eyes and nose were red and Clark couldn't help but think that it looked slightly cute.
"Lois you're pregnant, what did you expect. Plus you know that you should have got some slightly bigger clothes cause of how fast the babies growing." Clark said, and realised that he put his foot in his mouth when Lois gave him a death glare.
"Oh so this is all my fault now is it! Lois Lane screws up again! Well you know what, you're right I should have bought bigger clothes cause I'm getting soo fat! Here's an idea why don't you just wrap me in a bloody sheet and put a bag on my head! Then I'll look beautiful!" Lois screamed between tears then walked off to the bathroom and slammed the door behind her. Clark sat there for a moment trying to absorbed what just happened. She had had mood swings before but this one was going on the top of the list.

Walking over to the bathroom Clark knocked on the door, "Lois? Lois can I come in?" He asked and was surprised to see Lois open up the door. "Lois I'm-"
"Please don't apologise Clark." Lois whispered and wiped her tears away. "I shouldn't have yelled at you. You don't deserve it." Clark gave her a sad smile and pulled Lois in for a hug.
"It's okay Lois, I don't mind being your punching bag."
"But you shouldn't have to be. You do everything for me and more, you shouldn't have to put up with me screaming at you for my mistakes." Lois argued as she walked over to the bed and put on the one top that would fit, a plain white baby doll shirt.
"Lois, your hormones are just going crazy at the moment, I understand and I couldn't care less." He said and walked over to her and gave her a kiss. "And for the record, you look more beautiful to me now then you ever have."

"Enough now smallville you're going to make me cry." Lois said starting to tear up. "Just wait till I'm so fat that you can't even carry me." She added a smile coming to her face when she saw Clark chuckle.
"That'll never happen."

All throughout the day Lois could not shake the feeling that someone was watching her. Try as she might to ignore it, whenever she walked past a mirror she could have sworn that she saw the same brown haired woman watching her. Lois sat at her desk and tried to shake the thought from her head. It's just the pregnancy. That's all. I don't exactly know how, but it is. Lois thought as she began to type up her article.
"Wow Lois, you really are getting big!"
Lois sighed and turned around to face Cat. "Why must it be that everytime I get some quite you always pop up and ruin it." Lois said angrily.
"Geez, those hormones making you abit on edge." Cat said raising her hands in defeat. "But seriously, how far along are you?"
"Around 22 weeks give or take." Lois answered, not seeing how it mattered to Cat.

"Really?" Cat said in genuine surprise, "I didn't get that big until I was at least 29 weeks in. Oh well" Cat said shrugging her shoulders, "I guess you already had some extra on you."
Lois rolled her eyes and seethed, "Calling me fat while I'm pregnant Cat. Low blow. I would have thought as someone who had been down this path you would have respected pregnancy enough not to make fun of it."
"Have we just met?" Cat said sarcastically and walked away.
Lois was about to tear Cat a new one when she heard someone call out her name.
"Hey Lo, working hard or hardly working?"
Lois turned around was over joyed to see Chloe and Oliver walking over to her. "Hey Cuz! What are you two doing here?"
Chloe smiled and gave Lois a hug, "Thought we pop in for the rest of the week, see how the mother to be is going."
"Plus." Oliver added, "We'd been taking bets to see how big you'd gotten."

Lois looked between Chloe and Oliver and watched as he handed over some money to Chloe.
"Well with the money you just won at my expense it looks like you can buy me lunch. I'm starving and Clark isn't here to feed me."
Chloe noticed Clarks absence and looked around. "Where is the father to be?"
"Out." Lois said and both Oliver and Chloe got the idea of what she meant.
"So anyway, lunch?" Lois said brightly and lead both Chloe and Oliver out of the daily planet.

She was ready.
Her physical powers were at 100% and her mental and spiritual powers where charged as well. Over the past few months she had been in hiding, lying low and finding out all the possible information she could about her target. She had now learnt that Kal-el did not go by his Kryptonian name here on Earth, he went by Clark Kent. She also found out that he had yet another identity, which was being talked about all over the globe. Superman. Why he would ever want to save this primitive and violent species was beyond her understanding. She had also learned that Kal-el was not alone, there were others that did the same as him, protect the weak. They were no threat however as she knew that they weren't nearly as powerful as either her or Kal-el. No, the real problem would be the weak human that he was so infatuated with.

By watching through mirrors and other portals, she was able to determine that Kal-el's bond with the woman was indeed very strong. The more trouble issue however was the baby that the woman carried around inside her. It was an abomination. Half human and half Krytonian. The idea disgusted her.
"Why would he choose such a weak women? Time on this planet has caused him to become soft." She said. "Netherless, Kal-el is the key to my father's plans. The key to creating a new and improved Krypton." The only thing that stood in her way was the woman. She has to go. She thought to herself as she took flight into the night sky. With her mission in mind her next stop would the farm that belonged to Clark Kent.
