Chapter 30
She looked back at the mirror, taking in a deep breath nervously. She swallowed hard as Chloe walked in gasping, "Awww, you look even more beautiful than your first wedding."
Lois smirked and rolled her eyes, "Thanks Chlo. You're looking bigger than usual."
Chloe squinted at her, she stuck her index finger up at Lois, "Watch it missy. I'm getting very sensitive over my weight." Her voice started to go into a higher pitched as tears started to form her eyes.
Lois widened her eyes and walked over to hug her cousin, "Ohhh I'm sorry Chlo. You still look gorgeous as hell."
"Really?" Chloe sniffled, "What if I stay fat like this forever?"
Lois stroked her back, "You won't! It's just the hormones talking!"
Chloe sniffed, "You're right. Besides, this is your day. How are you feeling. Getting cold feet yet?"
Lois laughed, "I've done this before, cold feet is the last thing on my mind. I can't wait to marry him again." She looked back at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a short simple white dress that stopped just above the knees, with a halter neckline. Her hair had grown longer, so she was able to make it into a loose bun which was placed at the side of her head.
Chloe walked up to her cousin, "I have something to make you more perfect."
Lois smiled as she turned around, "And what is that?"
Chloe took out a red rose headpiece, Lois gasped, "Chloe it's beautiful." Chloe clipped the flower behind her ear.
"Ollie gave this to me as a wedding gift. And now I'm giving it to you. I find it's brought some good luck to us and I thought you and Clark could use some. I figured you would like to have something borrowed since it was the only thing missing."
Lois nodded, "Dress is something new, my blue sapphire earrings are something blue of course, and our rings are something old." She grinned to herself.
Chloe grinned at her, "It's good that you guys are using your original wedding rings. It's been long overdue since you had a ring on your finger." Lois chuckled. They both heard a knock on the door.
They turned to see Diana peeking in, "Is the bride ready to renew her vows."
Lois slowly sighed, "Ready as I'll ever be."
"Okay that seems about right." Clark finished fixing Chris' bow tie. "You're gonna be the most handsome one today."
Chris straightened his bow tie like a grown up, he turned back to his dad, "Hey daddy, when you first married Momma, was it the best day ever?"
Clark chuckled, fixing up his own tie, "I think that was my second best day. My first best day ever was the day you were born kiddo." He knelt down in front of his son. "Now you're gonna be walking down the aisle before me and your Momma do. You're gonna be standing next to me, holding these." Clark held out a box with both his and Lois' gold wedding rings.
Chris' jaw dropped, "Whoa! Treasure!"
Clark chuckled, "I trust you won't lose them so be extra careful with these."
Chris put his hand on his chest where his heart was, "Cross my heart I won't lose them!"
"I know you won't" Clark tasselled Chris' hair and tied his shoes for him.
He suddenly heard a knock on the door, he turned around to see Lois standing before him with the biggest smile on her face. Clark's lips parted as he was stunned to see the beautiful woman standing before him. She was holding a small bouquet of lilies as she took a couple steps to her boys, "Clark Kent, you ready to marry me again?"
Clark walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, "Absolutely."
Lois chuckled as he placed a kiss on her lips, they suddenly broke the kiss when they heard their son making disgusted noises. Lois laughed under her breath against his chest. Clark turned to Chris, "You ready best man?"
Chris nodded rapidly and raced out of the room, Lois wrapped her arms around his as they walked out of the room together. It was a beautiful small ceremony in the backyard of their new home. Chloe and Kara had decorated the place with a white flower pedal aisle and a grand white arch filled with flowers and ribbons. Chris walked slowly and steady as he rehearsed before with Oliver. He gripped the box holding the rings tightly. The guests who were present was the entire JLA crew, Martha, and Chloe. Not so far behind were Clark and Lois arm in arm as they walked together with smiles on their faces. Once they got up to the arch, Lois handed Chloe her bouquet and turned to Clark holding both of his hands staring back at him lovingly.
The minister started the ceremony, "Friends and loved ones. We are gathered here today to witness the renewal of a commitment. A commitment between Clark Kent and Lois Lane-Kent. To love one another, unconditionally and endlessly. Clark and Lois, there are many things I can say to the two of you today. But instead I choose to listen to the words you have for each other. Lois..." He gave the attention to Lois. It was her time to say her vows to Clark.
She took a deep breath and squeezed Clark's hands, "Clark, it's said that, love is not love which alters when it alteration finds. When life gets hard, when things change. True love remains the same. We've been through a roller coaster of obstacles in this hectic relationship. I never admitted it before, but my love for you never faltered during those times. I have always believed in you. I have always believed you would come back to me, because that's how strong our love for each other is. I feel safe around you. You give me a kind of hope which can never be taken away. I gave you my heart, and even when we fall short, I promise to always have hope that we'll find our way back. You give me that feeling that I know you would make sure that everything will be okay. I believe with all my heart that we have a love that will not alter. I have always loved you, and I will stand by you through anything that comes our way. You gave me the kind of happiness that I never thought I could find in my life. Without you, I would still be lost. I promise to never give up on us no matter what kind of weight falls on our shoulders. This I vow today."
Hearing her words made Clark's heart sink, he rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb, smiling back at her as he wiped a tear at the corner of her eye. "Clark..." The minister proceeded to Clark to say his vows.
Clark began, "You said long ago, when I was conflicted with letting go with someone I thought I was destined to be with, that one day, when I crack open that piggy bank jar saved up for a bike, I might come to realize, I wasn't just saving for a bike... I've really been saving for a Harley. I don't know if I ever told you this, but I've found my Harley Lois. It was you all along." Lois grinned back at him, remembering the advice she gave him when he was pawning over Lana. Clark continued, "I've made mistakes in the past that I can't take back. But you've given me a second chance to make things right. I will forever be grateful for that. Today, I renew my promise, to try always to bring out my quality of compassion, integrity, and reprise my role as a loving father and husband. I believe that our love can free us from the weight and the pain of life. That doesn't mean it hasn't been hard, or that it won't be. I've found strength in myself with you. You give me strength. And you complete me, my other half. That is why I wanted to marry you all over again, and show you how my love for you will always grow. With every moment passing by from this point, Lois I promise you that I will spend every day making you happy, because that's all that matters to me, as long as I have you by my side, I am complete. This I vow today."
Lois mouthed the words 'I love you' to Clark, who mouthed them back to her. The minister started his speech again, "Lois, on this day, do you reconfirm and rededicate yourself to the vows you promise to uphold."
Chris handed her Clark's ring, she smiled back at her son as she slipped the ring on Clark's finger, she looked up into his eyes, "I do."
"Clark, on this day, do you reconfirm and rededicate yourself to the vows you promise to uphold."
Clark stroked his son's hair once he handed him Lois' wedding ring. Clark slipped it on Lois' finger and kissed it, "I do."
"And now, before the eyes of god, I now pronounce you husband and wife once again. You may kiss your bride."
Clark bent down and swooped Lois into his arms while pressing his lips against hers, "Finally! I love you so much Lo."
Lois moaned against his lips, "I love you too husband. I am proud to be a Kent once again!" Clark chuckled, causing him to breathe into Lois' mouth. They heard clapping all around them as they finally broke their kiss reluctantly.
Clark bent down and picked up his son, Chris hugged both of his parents and whispered to them, "I love you Momma, and Daddy." They both had huge smiles on their faces as Clark hugged his son and kissed his once again new bride.
