Richard stared at the photos spread across his coffee table. Georgianna had left hours ago, heading to her hotel room for a few hours of sleep.
I think I'll head to Metropolis. Have a talk with Mrs. Kent, he sighed bitterly, calling in to work for some personal time before packing a suitcase and throwing the photos in on top. He'd be in the out of town before Georgianna even came back to his apartment.

"Home, finally!" Lois said, walking in a little tiredly and putting the baby carrier she'd been carrying on the floor. She stripped away layers of blankets to reveal a little pink bundle of baby. Clark did similarly with Sidha when he followed her inside. Jason was hovering nearby, held back by his equally anticipatory grandma.
Jason was so careful with his new little sisters. He sat on the couch and crossed his legs to make a lap, putting one hand behind her head and the other on her stomach. Sidha was first as Martha had scooped Elly up as soon as Lois had her out of the carrier. Sidha looked up at her brother with matching cerulean eyes and just stared at him. For awhile Jason stared back, smiling and cooing softly, telling her that he was her big brother Jason. Clark hovered nearby, crouching down with a hand next to Jason on the couch. Lois was doing similarly with Martha in the big armchair, but she was more wanting to be close to have a better view of her daughter's face than because she was worried about the what-ifs of Jason holding his little sister.
Both girls were quiet, just looking at the new faces with interest and taking in their new surroundings. They had done this at the hospital as well, taken a few hours to adjust to their new surroundings in silence before deciding it was okay and protesting about the little discomforts.
Please don't throw things! The next chapter will be up soon, and its longer- promise!!
