Chapter 16

Bruce rushed into the house to find Calvin stumbling down the stairs. He caught him before he collapsed.

"I got the papers…aah!" Calvin yelled grimacing in pain.

"Where did you get shot?"

"The lower abdomen," Calvin said clearly in pain.

Bruce helped Calvin out of the house into the car, "Alfred, can you get us to the hospital right away?"

"Yes, sir," Alfred sped off.

Bruce took off his jacket and put pressure on the open wound. He knew the bullet was still in there. Calvin was losing a lot of blood and his consciousness fast.

His head was on Chloe's knees. She was trying to keep him from losing consciousness, "Hey, stay here with us, Calvin. Don't not give up on us, keep fighting."

Calvin smiled, "I-I'm trying, Chlo. Reach into my jacket pocket, I have the papers…so you guys can save Lois."

Chloe reached into Calvin's pocket. There it was the all evidence they needed to win the case and to save Lois, but they could lose Calvin. This man didn't even know Lois, but he still had risked his life to save her. Chloe couldn't stop the water works and she started sobbing.

Bruce was now concerned about Chloe. Calvin put his hand up weakly to stop Bruce from talking.

"Don't cry, Chlo…I'm going to be fine. So what, I'm losing lot of blood…I'm not losing my spirit. I won't give up that easy and neither will Lois. From what I hear she is fighter and she will keep on fighting…and I will keep on fighting…we got everything to live for…,"

Calvin now had tears in his eyes, "I-I'm not ready to die yet not yet…my parents died when I was young but I'm not ready to see them yet…I need to fulfill the things my parents asked me to do before I go…so don't cry. Stay strong a little longer because I know Lois will come out of this alive."

Chloe smiled down at him even though she was crying. She gave him an awkward hug. Bruce held her hand while they waited to get to the hospital. When they did arrive, Calvin was too weak to walk so Bruce carried him into the hospital. They rushed him to the ER where he was taken from them for surgery. Bruce and Chloe were covered with his blood and they hugged each other both needing comfort. Spencer would pay, Bruce would make sure of that.

Clark just watched Lois from afar. She was wearing a beautiful gold satin gown that showed every curve on her body. He didn't know why he showed up. Lois was Oliver's date. He admitted he was jealous but he wouldn't tell her that. Every time Oliver touched her, Clark just wanted to punch the guy in the face. It was torture for him not being with her.

Calvin walked up to Clark feeling bad for him, "Why aren't you down there with her?"

Clark looked at his friend, "What are you talking about? She's Oliver's date."

"Sooo…she wants you to fight for her. I can tell."

"She doesn't love me like that, Cal."

"Have you told her how you felt?"

Clark stared at the floor, Calvin just chuckled, "That's what I thought. Lois is one in a million, Clark, don't let her go or you will regret it."

They both watched her go outside in the garden, "Regardless of the situation you're still her husband. Go out there and talk to her."

Clark smiled, "Thank you."

"Go."

Clark ran outside. There she was standing silently looking at the garden. He walked over to her, "You look beautiful, Lois."

Lois turned around with a smile on her face, "Thank you. I thought you weren't coming."

"A certain blonde forced me to come. She said I was being stupid and immature," Clark said walking towards her.

Lois smiled, "So why are you out here, Smallville?"

"Dance with me."

"What?"

"I said…"

"I know what you said, but why?"

Clark chuckled, "Does there have to be a reason?"

"You've been drinking, right?"

Clark sighed, "No, I haven't been drinking, I just want to dance. One dance, Lo, that's all I'm asking," Clark gave her the puppy eyes.

Lois rolled her eyes, "Fine one dance. I'm sure Oliver won't mind."

Clark didn't comment. Lois was pulling Clark inside, but he stopped her. She turned around about to say something but he put a hand up.

"I want to dance out here in the garden."

"There is no music, Smallville."

Clark pulled her into the garden and out of nowhere a song started playing. Clark grinned at Lois, she smiled back, "You're something, Smallville."

Clark shrugged and took Lois into his arms. They started swaying to Donell Jones thanks to Calvin.
I wanna love you
Every night every day
You know I need you
In my life you stay
I wanna love you
Every night every day
You know I need you
In my life you stay

The lights died down a little bit setting the mood for the two. Clark started humming the song.

You are the reason why I live ummm
A newfound joy I can't contain (yeah)
Found myself thinking bout your love ummm
Its a feeling I get only my heart can explain
You know what

It began to rain but the couple didn't care, it was just them dancing in the rain. Lois' head rested on Clark's chest as Clark's chin rested on her head smelling the vanilla aroma.

I wanna love you
Every night every day
You know I need you
In my life you stay
I wanna love you
Every night every day
You know I need you
In my life you stay

Everyone who was inside looked outside to find Clark and Lois dancing. Calvin held Diana from behind singing the song to her, while Chloe and Bruce smiled at the couple.

I never felt so deep in love
I think its because you touched a special part of me (babe)
Hope I'm the one your thinking of
You must be feeling the same as I do
This meaning love without you (lady lady)

Lois lifted her head looking directly into Clark's blue-green eyes. Clark took Lois' face in his hands and kissed her passionately. It was their first real kiss and even though it was in the rain, Clark wouldn't have it in any other way.

Clark broke the kiss, resting his head against hers. He started singing the song while Lois just smiled.

Girl I think about you every day
hoping you'll never go away
Its so special what we have to share
Seems all I need is tender love and care
Girl I think about you every night
See a dinner and a candle light
Soon my love would be all you need
We'll be together for eternity

He twirled Lois around. There was no need for words on how they both felt. If this was how love felt then he wouldn't have any other way.

I wanna love you
Every night every day
I wanna need you
in my life you stay
I wanna love you
Every night Every day

I'm loving I'm loving you baby
Gonna say it one more time
I'm loving I'm loving you baby
I'm loving you baby
Said I'm loving I'm loving you baby
I'm loving you baby

Lois was genuinely happy; after so many months she was really happy. She didn't think Clark would take the first step but he did. That just made her love him even more. She didn't know how Clark got her to open up but she knew why.

I wanna love you
Every night every day
I wanna need you
in my life you stay
I wanna love you
Every night Every day

I'm loving I'm loving you baby
Gonna say it one more time
I'm loving I'm loving you baby
I'm loving you baby
Said I'm loving I'm loving you baby
I'm loving you baby

I wanna love you
Every night every day
I wanna need you
in my life you stay
I wanna love you
Every night Every day

Clark kissed her again and held her tight, but that one moment, that special moment, came to an end. Shots were fired. Clark pushed Lois to the floor, but it was too late. He looked down at his hands, they were covered with blood. With Lois' blood.

"Too little too late, Clark, too little too late."

Clark turned around anger coursing through his body, "Lex, you son of bch"

He lunged at Lex but was stopped. He felt weak. Lex had Kryptonite in his hands.

"Y-You killed her."

"Yea…and I'm going to kill you."

Lex shoved the kryptonite knife into Clark's chest, piercing his heart…

Clark sat up breathing hard, sweat covering his body, "Why do I keep having these dreams? What did Spencer do to me?"

He got up stumbling a little bit, but he managed to reach Lois' side, "Don't worry Lo, Spencer will pay for what he did to you. We will get you out of this."

He sat down feeling a little cold and tired, probably the effect of the drug. He started to close his eyes when he heard his name being called.

He looked up to see Chloe covered in blood. He ran to her, concern etched on his face, "What happened, are you okay?"

She put her hands up to stop his questions, "It's Calvin, he got evidence on Spencer and he was shot. He's still in surgery."

"How's Bruce?"

"Quiet," was all Chloe could say. She looked up at Clark, he seemed strange, "What happened to you?"

"Spencer drugged me and I know now that he drugged Lois but I don't know why."

"Well I guess we will find out," Bruce said quietly holding the papers in his hand.

They all nodded. This could be the evidence they were looking for, the evidence that could lead to Lois coming back but at a price. One life was in surgery fighting for his life the other in a coma fighting for hers. Would both come out alive or will one of them come out alive? Would both be dead or would one be dead? They didn't know but they did know they were running out of time.
