This part is longer this time. I'm so glad that you all like this story and I hope that you will keep reading. I will try to update this as soon as I can.

Lex sat in his office waiting for his father to get back; he wanted to know that Chloe was okay. He hated the fact that he had to watch Lana go around the room grabbing one book and then deciding that wasn't the one she wanted so she would grab another.

"Lana, would you cut it out pick one book, and start reading it." He said in an aggravated voice. He didn't understand why the girl found it necessary to be around him all the time once Chloe had left.

"Get a grip Lex." She told him not caring that he had spoke to her in a rude tone. "I'm going to the library so I don't bother you obviously you have too much on your mind." She walked out of the room calmly.

Lex glared at her as she left couldn't she see that he didn't want her around? He wanted her to go crawling back to Clark they were obviously meant for each other. Then he looked towards the door and hoped that his father would appear, and suddenly he did. Lex got up from his chair and looked at his father. "Finally I've been waiting forever, how is she?"

"She is fine." He walked over to Lex and handed him the camera. Lex looked at the pictures his face was surprised.

"She has a child?" He looked up at his father with worry in his eyes.

"Zoom in on her face." Lionel watched as Lex zoomed in on the pictures.

Lex's eyes grew wider. "She has my child."

"That she does Lex." Lionel could tell that Lex hadn't known about this before.

"Why didn't she tell me?"

"She said that she sent you several messages as soon as she knew she was having a baby. I can tell by the look on your face though that you didn't get them." Lionel looked at his son and he could see the disappointment that was written all over Lex's face.

"If only I had known maybe everything would have turned out differently." Lex looked at the picture of his young daughter. "Do you think it is too late?"

"Well it might be to get Chloe back but I think that you can still be a part of your daughter's life."

"What do you mean too late to get Chloe back? She is seeing someone?" Lex's eyes held pain in them he couldn't imagine Chloe being with anyone else but him.

Lionel gave out a small sigh before telling his son the rest of the bad news. "Yes Lex and just so you are prepared your child calls him daddy."

"Is this all you have come back with bad news?" Lex glared at his father, this wasn't what he was hoping to hear.

"That's all I have Lex I'm sorry I couldn't even get the little girl's name. I tried but Chloe kicked me off her property. She wanted you to come after her when she left and I think she still does. I have to go now Lex but you should go up there and you can keep that camera." Lionel patted his son on the shoulder and then walked out of the mansion.

Lex looked down at the camera the love of his life had found someone else and his daughter was calling someone else daddy. He felt the pain in his chest when he pictured them all together, that man in his mind should be him and it would be, at least he hoped it would be. Lex decided that he would go to their house tomorrow he wasn't about to miss another day of his child's life even if Chloe no longer wanted him.

The next day Lex took the address to Chloe's house that his father had left. Then he took the long drive to Chloe's house. His stomach was turning in knots as he drove there; he realized that he was actually nervous about meeting his child and seeing Chloe again after so many years. He also realized that he didn't want to see this new man in Chloe's life. Once he finally saw the house in view his nerves started getting worse. He parked across the street and just stared at the house for a long time before getting out. Lex was thinking of what to say to Chloe, and how to get her to believe that he had never known about his child. He soon collected himself enough to get out of his car and make his way to the front door. Once he knocked he heard feet running to the door and then a little reddish blonde head stuck out.

"Hi." She said as she smiled.

"Leah who is at the door and didn't I tell you to wait for me?" The voice said behind her at first Lex thought that it was Chloe but as the woman emerged he realized that it wasn't her. "Lex Luthor what on earth are you doing here?" The woman asked him.

"I know Chloe is she here?" Lex asked while looking around the small house to see if he could see her.

"No I'm Leah's sitter; Chloe is at work right now."

"Well would you mind if I come in and wait for her?" Lex looked at the baby sitter hoping she would let him in he hadn't come all this way for nothing and he wanted to talk to his daughter.

"I don't know I'm not supposed to let people in." Her eyes looked to Leah and then back at Lex. "I guess since you know Chloe though it would be alright but she won't be back until two."

Lex smiled he was glad that he was actually getting in at least this way he could spend some time with Leah and not have to worry about what he was going to say to Chloe at this moment. "Thank you I will wait for her to come and I will be sure that you won't get in trouble."

The woman opened the door wider and Lex stepped inside the cramped living room. "I have to go clean up the toys outside I will be right back." The woman told him as she left the room.

The little girl smiled up at Lex. "You know mommy?" She asked him plopping down on the couch.

"Yes I do we used to be friends." Lex looked at her and then sat on the couch across from her.

"Why you bald?" Her eyes held curiousness; he didn't think that she had seen anyone with no hair before.

"I had a bad accident when I was little and lost my hair."

"Oh." She said simply and just sat and stared at him.

He could see Chloe mostly in the girl but he defiantly saw himself in her eyes. "How old are you?"

"Three." She told him holding up her fingers in the process. "How old are you?" She asked him with a smirk.

"I don't think you need to know that one."

"You that old?" She giggled at him and then got up off the couch and picked up two of her dolls. "Here" she said and gave him one of the dolls.

He looked down at the blonde blue eyed girl Leah had given him. "What do you want me to do with it?" He had never played with dolls nor did he have any interest in it.

"She is stinky." Leah told him pointing to the diaper that was put on backwards.

"You want me to change her?" Lex asked although he didn't really want to change this dolls diaper. Leah shook her head yes at him. "Well where are the clean diapers."

Leah shrugged her shoulders. "No more." She said and she pointed to the diaper that the doll had on. "Just pretend."

"Alright." Lex told her as he took the dolls diaper off and put it back on the doll.

"Good she all better now." Leah said while she smiled and took the doll from Lex. Then the woman who was babysitting her came back in.

"Leah we need to eat lunch your mom will be home soon." As she said this Leah got up and walked through a hallway and Lex followed her.

"So I hate to be rude but what is your name?" Lex asked the babysitter.

"Oh I'm Jessie sorry I didn't introduce myself sooner." She smiled at Lex and then got out some lunch meat and bread and started making a sandwich for Leah. "Do you want one?" Jessie asked him

"No thank you."

"Thank you Jessie." Leah said as Jessie set Leah's sandwich in front of her.

"You're welcome." Jessie told her and then she sat down at the table and started eating her sandwich. Lex watched them eat they didn't say very much while they ate so he sat down at the table and waited for them to get done.

Then they heard a car pull up and Leah jumped out of her seat. "Mommy is here!" She said and ran to the door. Lex sat in his chair and his hands started sweating he didn't know why he got so nervous when he knew Chloe was going to be around. This time however he knew that she wouldn't be happy to see him and he truly wanted Chloe to believe that he didn't know about Leah. As the door to the house opened he thought 'Here it comes.'
