Chloe watched Charlie leave there home with a heavy heart. She realized that he needed some time to sort things out for himself. She had hurt him by not telling him about the baby, but if truth be told she hadn't known there was baby until a few hours ago. She had been planning to tell him about her pregnancy right after he had proposed, only to have it be interrupted by Clark Kent and Lex Luthor.

Chloe felt a pain zig zag threw her abdomen, and she wrapped her arms around her middle because of the intense pain. Oh god, the baby! Her first thought was she may be loosing the baby. She knew that intense stress could cause you to miscarry, and she was having a very stressful moment. She did the first thing that came to her mind, she picked up her cellphone and dialed Nora's home number.

"Hello?" A sleepy Nora answered.

"Nora." Chloe moaned as another sharp pain ripped threw her abdomen.

Nora's voice was suddenly full and awake. "Chloe? What is it? Whats wrong? Is it Charlie?"

Chloe somehow found the strength to answer even though her insides felt like they were on fire and tearing her apart from the inside. "Charlie left, Clark and Lex my friends from back home showed up..." She gasped in pain. "Lex accidently found my pregnancy test, and told Charlie and Clark I'm pregnant. Charlie was upset and he left, went to your parents. Nora I-I think I am loosing the baby. I need help...please."

Chloe never got a chance to hear the reply because the next moment found her passed out on the floor.

-----------------

Charlie was at his parents house. The only ones who were awake at this time of night were Lorraine and his parents. He had told them everything that happened down to the last detail. It was Lorraine who reacted first.

"You left her alone? In her condition?" She grabs her purse from the table and slams it over his head. Charlie never realized a womans purse could be such a lethal weapon. It had really hurt. "You are the dumbest person alive! Have you ever thought of how hard it must be for to be with you? She loved this Clark Kent guy for years. She was so hurt by his actions that she left her home. Have you ever thought of how she must feel being with you? How hard it must be to look at you when you resemble him so much? She must love you my idiot brother or she wouldn't put herself threw all of that."

That thought had never even occured to Charlie. "I never thought of it like that."

Lorraine smacked him again. "No you didn't." They all stopped talking when the phone rang. Kate was the one to answer it. Worry filled her features as she heard the person on the other line speak. "We will be right there Nora." She hangs up and looks at everyone. "Lorraine wake up the kids and get them ready to go. We need to get to the hospital now."

Charlie looked at her with concern. "Is something wrong with Bud or Nora? It's not Tommy is it?"

Kate took a deep breath. "No Charlie, it's-it's Chloe."

Charlie immediately looked at her, his face a mask of worry. "What happened? Is she ok? Is the baby?"

Charlie's dad Tom stood next to his wife as she answered. "She called Nora. The stress of the evening caused her to almost loose the baby. She is being admitted for atleast tonight because there is still the chance that the baby may not make it."

Charlie felt tears well up in his eyes. "Oh god, this is my fault! I caused this. I shouldn't have gotten so upset. I didn't even think about what it could cause to happen." He slings on his jacket. "Well what are we waiting for? We need to get over there."

Lorraine had waken the children and now was heading out the door. "I'll meet you there. I have a few things that I need to do first."

--------------

The first thing Chloe noticed when she woke up was she was hooked to a bunch of machines that were beeping and making all sorts of noise. The second was that Charlie was sitting next to her bed, his head in his hands.

"Charlie?" He looked up at her. "The baby..is the baby ok?"

He grabbed her hand in his. "The baby is fine. But you almost lost it. It is my fault Chloe. I should never have gotten so upset with you. I should have tried to see things your way."

She looked at him with a sad smile. "No, I should have told you when I suspected I was pregnant. You were right to be upset Charlie."

He shakes his head at her. "No, I wasn't. I almost lost you both. I never want to go threw that again. Chloe if you'll still have me, I still want to marry you."

Chloe smiled widely at him. "Of course I will marry you Charlie Baker. I love you."

And they hugged eachother, but knowing things would be alright. This had worked out for the best. They knew that there love could survive anything. They were stronger together. They had survived death, almost death, a huge fight, and they came threw stronger than ever.

Lorraine had went straight to Clark and Lex's hotel room. She banged on the door until they answered.

"Yes?" Lex asked as he opened the door.

"You must be Lex Luthor.." And she slapped him, hard. "You have some nerve showing up here with that Clark Kent guy. Do you realize that she and my soon to be neice or nephew almost died? It was because you and that farmboy put alot of stress on her. Now I know that your a Luthor and probably don't care about her or her baby, but I do, and I wont allow you and plaid boy break up my family."

Lex raised an eyebrow at her, his expression was amused. "I never intended to do that. I know Chloe and the baby are fine, or well they will be fine Ms. Baker, Chloe called me too warn me that she was afraid you may be on your way. I think she feared for my safety. Now are you done yelling at me?"

She narrowed her eyes. "For now, but I have one thing to ask of you."

"And that would be?" Lex prompted.

"Because of the trouble you caused for my family..I think you should pay for Chloe's wedding."

"Your so sure it is still happening?" He asked her.

She grins, "But of course. My brother knows that if he doesn't fix things with her, I will hit him with things alot heavier than my purse."

And for the first time in a long time, Lex Luthor let out a real smile.
