A/N: This is pretty late. what happened was I was writing this and my power randomly went out. So I lost everything I wrote and was very annoyed and didn't feel like rewriting it. Sorry about that, but I finally wrote it. I like this chapter, even though I don't think it's very good. I tried putting in characters from the Superman comments like Jimmy and Perry White. Should I keep them in? Anyway, I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 2
The Test

Clark's mouth dropped open as the words sunk in. A thousand thoughts came to his mind but he wasn't sure if he should say any of them. "Clark, can you please just say something? Anything." Lois finally said. Clark stumbled for words and said the first thing that came to mind.

"Yo-you're pregnant?" As soon as he said that he wanted to take it back, that sounded terrible. But Lois didn't mind. "Well, I'm pretty sure. I'm a week late, but I want to take a test just to be a hundred percent sure." Lois answered. "Alright then, I'll go get one right now." Clark said then super-ran out of the condo.

In the blink of an eye Clark went to the closest convience store, grabbed the first pregnancy test he saw, put some money in the register (He knew it was more then the test coast but he didn't care) and got back to the condo. Lois couldn't notice it, but he ran faster then normal. "Here you go," Clark said handing Lois the test. She looked down at it like it was a thousand page book a teacher just assiagned her to read in one week. She was not ready for this.

She looked up at Clark. "Um, Clark, do you mind?" She asked and motioned for him to leave the bathroom. "Oh right, sorry." He said leaving and closing the bathroom door behind him. About a minute later Lois came out with the test. With nothing else to do for the next few minutes, the couple stared down at the screen. Listening to the ticking noise and watching the blinking clock. It later turned into a minute glass before one single life-changing word popped up on the screen.

Pregnant

The whole world stopped for a minute. Neither one was angry, sad, surprised, or worried. But once it fully sunk it, Lois began to break down crying into Clark's arms. He held her, rocked her back and forth, and shushed her. "It's gonna be ok." He told her, although he wasn't so sure himself it was going to be. Lois was finally able to stop for a few minutes to talk.

"I...I just can't be pregnant right now. We've only been married for a year and I have my job and...I'm not sure I'm ready to be a mom." She explained to Clark. "Well, do you think you would want an... abortion?" Clark asked her, worried what her answer might be.

Lois's facial experssion changed. "Oh no, no. I could never do that, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I did." She answered. That was a sigh of realif for Clark. "Well, I'll call you in sick today, and you can think about what you want to do." He told her. "But...but my deadline...and Jimmy..." She stuttured.

"I'll finish your deadline, and go over the pictures with Jimmy. You just stay here, you need rest." Clark said stopping her. "Huh, fine." Lois said who rarely gave in. Before leaving Clark gave her a kiss on the forehead and promised he wouldn't be home late and that everything would be ok. But what Lois didn't know was that Clark was just as scared, worried, and confused about what to do as she was.

Even though he super-ran to work, Clark was two minutes late. Before walking into The Daily Planet Clark put on his glasses and went into Reporter Clark mode. Walking up the stairs Clark made sure to bump into some people and apologeize to all of them. He finally made it up to his floor- well, Lois's- and the first thing he saw was Jimmy near the coffee table.

Clark wasn't so sure if he was gonna like Jimmy when they first met. He didn't know if he'd be anything his older brother who was killed by Doomsday years ago or if he'd be some metaorker photographer. But that he had worked with him for awhile they had now become good friends. And Clark could see that even though he was a lot like his older brother he was also his own person. For one, he didn't own a single bowling shirt.

Jimmy turned around and noticed Clark. "Hey, Clark, where's Lois? We need to go over pictures for her deadline." Jimmy greeted Clark before taking a sip of his coffee. "She's not feeling good today, so I'm writing her deadline for her." Clark explained.

"Oh great, we better get started then." Jimmy said giving Clark a relieved smile. Just then, there was a shout from behind a closed door that sounded very familar. "Great Ceaser's Ghost! Where is Lane?"

Without a doubt it was the Editor in Cheif for Planet Perry White. He had high standards and could be provoked easily, mostly when he didn't have his coffee, but there was something about him Clark apperciated.

White then slammed opened the door to his office and stomped over to the coffee table, probably getting his second or third cup. he noticed Jimmy and Clark right away. "Kent, where's your wife? She has a deadline." White asked Clark. "Good morning Mr. White. L-Lois is home sick, but I'm gonna to write her deadline for her." Clark answered fiddling with his glasses.

"Good, get on that right away. Stories..." He started.

"Stories don't right themselves. We've heard it before Cheif." Jimmy finished for him. "Olsen, I've told you before, don't called me Cheif! Now hurry up and get to work." White exclaimed before stomping back into his office.

"He's not in the best of moods today." Jimmy said to Clark when he knew it was safe. "He's not the only one." Clark thought to himself. But all he said to Jimmy was, "Probably just stress. Come on, we better go over those photos while me you and Lois still have jobs."

While Clark was at work having orders barked at him by White and doing Lois's work for her, Lois sat in the condo,; trying to relax but it was impossible. All she could think about was that there was going to be a little person growing inside of her. After throwing up two more times, she tried getting her mind off it.

She read some books she had laying around, watched the terrible reality shows on TV (The only other thing on was kid shows and that was the last thing she wanted to watch) and flipped through her and Clark's wedding album. Yesterday, she could hardley believe that was only a year ago. It felt like she should be getting ready for her honeymoon. Now, it seemed like it was a hundred years ago.

Lois couldn't do anything to keep her mind occupied. She knew that right now wasn't right for her to become a mother. But, at the same time...she was already begging to love her unborn child. She was a thousand percent sure she could never have an abortion, just like she told Clark. But one question kept ringing in her head.

"Am I ready to be a mother?"
