Chapter 10

The next day John was snoring contentedly when he heard someone knocking on the door and he groaned, whoever was knocking had better have something to drink or be someone he wanted to see.

He opened the door and saw Chloe standing there with a smile and said, "Alright guys, whenever you're ready we can go meet the Kent's."

Bobby looked up and said, "John, maybe it wouldn't hurt you to wake up before noon at times."

John simply shook his head and said, "Whatever, I was tired because that coffee gave me the runs last night."

Andrew got up and smiled at Chloe and said, "Good morning Ms Sullivan, how are you?"

"Oh, I'm fine and the reason why I'm here so early is because you should know that Mr Kent keeps farmer hours," Chloe said with a smile.

John winced and began to hum the theme from Deliverance and muttered, "Great, he's a farmer."

Andrew kicked John in the leg and said, "He's probably a very nice man."

Chloe smiled and laughed, she was enjoying these three even if Bobby did look a bit like Eric.

"Well come on boys, I want us to be there so they'll be there when they meet you," Chloe said happily as she grabbed them.

Bobby looked at John and said, "You will be on your best behaviour right? I mean Andrew probably wants to know his uncle."

It took them awhile to get to the Kent farm and Andrew thought, 'It's a nice place,' as the car stopped, he got out and a dark haired boy was outside with a smaller kid, 'Maybe they're cousins?'

Clark saw the red car pull up and saw Chloe lead three boys out and his eyes narrowed on one of them, "Eric," he growled as he rushed towards him when the smaller blonde kid jumped in front of him.

John growled, "Hey farm boy, you want to beat Bobby up, you go through me first!"

"Wait?" Clark muttered, "Bobby?" He looked at Chloe.

"I know, right?" Chloe said, "They could almost be twins but I assure you, he isn't Eric."

Clark nodded and looked at the other two and said, "Chloe, who are they?"

John shrugged and said, "We're your cousins."

"I don't have any cousins; Dad's sister disappeared years ago," Clark said remembering what his father had told him about her.

"So your dad expected her to be a nun or something like that?" John said looking right at Clark

"No but he didn't hear anything about children because he would've insisted on meeting them," Clark muttered, "Family's important to him."

"So," John said, "Where is dad? We came here to meet him and then we're off."

Bart, who had been keeping quiet until now, was staring at them; he liked these guys as they seemed fun. He looked at the younger blonde man and whistled a bit, he was a bit shy and he smiled as he looked at Andrew, he saw Andrew's head suddenly snap up and focus on him and stare at him puzzled.

He walked up to Andrew and said, "Hey, I'm Bart."

"Oh," Andrew said, blushing from the emotions that were coming from him, "Umm, I'm Andrew Xavier."

"Nice last name," Bart said, "So, where are you boys from?"

John glared, no one hit on his little brother, he stepped in front of him and said, "East Coast actually but born on the West Coast."

"Cool," Bart said, "But I did ask Andrew, didn't I?"

"Yes you did," John said, "But hey, stay away from my little brother, alright?"

Andrew kicked John and said, "I can handle myself and besides he's genuine in his feelings."

"Okay," John said, "But if he does anything to you I'll burn him alive, you know that, right?"

Bart looked at the two men whispering and said, "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing," Andrew said with a smile as he went to talk to Bart alone.

Clark shook his head and said, "My Dad's in the house and I'm sure he'll want to meet you."

John shrugged and smirked as Clark, he and Bobby went into the house to go talk to Jonathon Kent, followed by Chloe

Meanwhile Andrew was talking to Bart and he could sense so many things from him; there was shame, sorrow and despair in him plus an overwhelming sense of pride, Andrew smiled slightly as Bart told him a very edited story on how he and Clark met.

Andrew whispered, "You're lying about how you and Clark met, aren't you Bart?"

"What!" Bart said panicked, "What do you mean? I haven't been lying, honest!"

"Umm," Andrew said, "I have a gut feeling about it and let's just leave it at that," and smiled brightly at Bart.

"So, going to the west coast hmm?" Bart said, "Why don't I come with you? It could be fun and we could enjoy ourselves," he said with a smile, looking at him.

Andrew blushed, he knew exactly what Bart wanted and blushed harder as the boy got closer to him and heard him whisper, "So, how's about that date?"

Before Andrew could answer they heard John shout, "Andrew! Uncle Jonathon wants to meet you too!"

"Okay," Andrew said almost running from Bart who gave John a look of annoyance.

John looked at Bart and said, "Look, Andrew's my little brother and you make me nervous kid."

"Why?" Bart smirked as he looked into John's eyes.

"Because you're just like me," John growled, "And that is something he doesn't need in his life."

Bart watched John walk off and said, "Isn't Andrew old enough to make his own choices without his older brother making them for him?"

John looked back at him and said, "Yeah but I can at least keep creeps like you from him and that'll make me happy."

As Andrew walked out he saw their Uncle Jonathon looking at him and his uncle looked pale and whispered, "Your eyes, you have your mother's eyes."

"Umm, hi, I'm Andrew…" but before he could finish the sentence Jonathon walked over and took him into a hug.

"Isn't this a bit fast to believe us?" Andrew asked, "I mean we just got here, I'd thought you wanted to have to have a blood test done?"

"Oh," Jonathon said, "We're having a blood test tomorrow but you especially resemble your mother, you have her softness."

Andrew froze and thought, 'Softness! MY mother? Was Jonathon Kent talking about the same woman who slapped me for crying?'

"Now you boys are staying here for the night," Jonathon said, "And please believe me that I am shocked that your mom never told me about you."

Clark looked at his two cousins, he wasn't sure how to think about this after all he had more family now and why didn't dad's sister tell us about them?

He went over to John, who was giving him the once over and said, "Hey, we should to get to know each other better."

John looked at Clark and grinned, "Definitely," and Clark and him went to talk leaving Bobby alone with Jonathon.

"Umm great, hi, I'm Bobby Drake and sorry for just barging in on you guys like that."

"It's good that you did son," Jonathon said, "Now I know I have nephews but now can you tell me where they are living?"

"It's a boarding school," Bobby said, "From what I understand there was some unpleasantness, and John will tell you all about it, but it ended up with the professor gaining custody of both John and Andrew and he even adopted Andrew into his family."

Jonathon frowned deeply, it wasn't right; he should've been informed and he would've taken both in an instant had he known about them. He looked at Bobby and asked, "Is he a good man, this Professor?"

"Oh yeah," Bobby said, "He's really a kind man; he takes almost everyone he can in and he really cares about Andrew and John."

"Well you can tell this Professor that he can expect me to be paying him a visit now," Jonathon said with conviction in his eyes.

Bobby nodded and said, "This is a nice farm you have here Mr Kent," Jonathon smiled and started to tell him about the history of the Kent Farm and was delighted to see Bobby listening to him and in turn Bobby told them about their trip to Pittsburgh to visit the boy's aunt and uncle on their father's side.

Jonathon called them inside for dinner; Andrew was being followed by Bart who was in turn being glared at by John and even Clark gave a small disapproving glare to Bart who was focusing a lot of attention on Andrew.

"Okay boys," Jonathon said, "I decided to call for pizza, just don't tell Martha when you see her, she hates it when we order out."

Chloe had been talking to Bobby as well, she was happy to talk to him as she was explaining about Smallville's history since the meteor shower.

"Yeah," John said, "About that; there are some really cheesy tourist traps here, I mean the place we're staying at was called the Meteor Fall Inn, I mean do people want to remember that?"

"Next time," Jonathon said, "You stay with us."

Andrew was looking at his Uncle and cousin; they were hiding things from them, it was like they were guarding something but it kind of confused him, maybe he would ask them about it later.

"So," Clark said, "How long are you guys staying in Smallville? I mean shouldn't you be in school?"

John shook his head and said, "Nope. The Professor told us to meet our family and besides, if I know him, we'll have to write some sort of paper when we get home."
