The day before the wedding :
Clark and Lois were in ' Bubbleland ' , especially Clark since he knew about Lois pregnancy . He cannot stop smiling and Lois found him completely stupid but cute , that she already knew she would have a wonderful family life with a man like that .
He was taking care of herself very carefully even she only had two months pregnancy .
The day before the wedding , things were rushing for everyone and Lois who has been promoted recently just got her own office and this day , she needed to clean up everything in there but she and Clark were completely dragging on and were still in pajamas .
Clark made an orange juice and some pancakes for them and looked at his fiancée with love like every-time it was breakfast time . Lois cannot took her eyes from him and he said .
- I'm really gonna be a dad … I still can't believe it .
Lois burst into laughs . It would be an usual routine , even though , she was hoping he would not repeat that the 7 months left .
- yes Clark , you're gonna be a dad ! We're gonna be parents ! It's almost three two days that you know about it and you still have the same reaction . You can't stop listening to my belly and you're smiling like an idiot , I think you'll realized for real once I'll be a big whale .
Clark smiled and kissed her nose , putting some of her hair behind her ears .
- no , I'm realizing well but it sounds so unreal that I can't explain my joy other way . And honey , I'm sure you'll be the most wonderful pregnant woman .
Lois gave him a sweet smile and quickly swallowed her breakfast .
- So chop chop ! You're taking us by super speed today because we're already late and I need to clean up my office but if Randall catching us once again being late , he's gonna think he's the most powerful man at the building and so ever .. Tess doesn't care , we are her friends but him … Anyway , go go Smallville .
Clark smiled . He loves mornings with his fiancée . She was only doing everything to make him rush but by the end she was the last one being ready . He knew he had the time to clean in super speed , get dress that Lois would still be in the bathroom and today she didn't make any exception at the rule , not more than usually .
Anyway , Clark would like her to rush a bit , that they will clean up the office quickly and he could take her to the fortress . He warned everyone about their wedding except his biological father and he was already fearing the damn things he could say to him because there were a few months since the last time he visited him .
Their last meet , was with Lois and a projection of his image and Lara . Since that day , Jor-el seems a little less bitter but with him .. He was expecting everything .
He would also taking that time to tell Jor-el about his father to be and asked some informations about the kryptonians-humans pregnancies .
Lois made her way out the bathroom thirty minutes after she had rushed Clark .
The kryptonian sighed with amusement and she looked at him , a question look on her face .
- what ? It's not my fault if Junior likes hot water .
Clark raised an eyebrow
- Junior ?
Lois raised her shoulders
- we need to call him until we know if it's a Clarkie or a Loisie and I can't seeing myself says " baby " every days so we're taking the most courant name , so no misunderstood .
Clark raised his eyes , move forward to her and kiss her cheek .
- you're unbelievable !
- I know and this is why you love me , aren't you ?
- Obviously ! Come on , time to go !
He took her into his arms and cannot stop saying to her to hung up , to shout if she was feeling bad and he will do the best to slow down to not shaking her too much .
Lois loves to see him so protected but she told him for the hundred time that he didn't have to worry , for now , she was still able to stand a super speed travel , especially with a kryptonian baby .. or almost .
They arrived at the Daily Planet really late . They walked through their co workers and Randall like nothing happened .
Lois took Clark's arm and looked at everyone with a murder look , Randall included .
The man knew he had nothing to say there , even they were the ones to be late .
Lois took Clark to her office and when they put a foot in it , they suddenly felt the urge to run away .. They looked at each other , almost laughing .
- do you think we'll survive to that ? Next to that mess , the apartment was a piece of cake .
- we could try … But you're right … This isn't how we can be motivating .
Lois sighed , pouting , leaning in the front door .
- unfortunately if I want to work in some great conditions , for me but also for the baby , we need to do it . I knew we should came here earlier . This is your fault Clark .
Clark smiled and shook his head . Anyway , he was always the one to blame but he got used to it with her .
They barely started that Clark have being call . Lois should resigned herself to start cleaning up some things alone and sent him a text to tell him to not forget to be back once he'll done with his mission or anything which needed his attention .
Whatever the price , this mess needed to be clean in all way . Clark came back after more than one hour .
- Lois ! Sorry I'm late . I got the final offer on the farm after my mission .
He frowned his eyes . She already put some things randomly in her desk which was a real mess , worse than the office itself but that has proved she could make it .
He looked for her and heard a " ow " before she stood up from behind the desk .
She was under it , doing some researches or cleaning .
- son of a bitch !
She said , her hand at her head , making Clark smile a bit .
- Whoo !
It's been more than one hour she was there , she could take a break . Maybe it wasn't the right time to bring the discussion about daddy Jor el … But he needed to do it before the end of the day .. At least , he wanted to . So he hoped that she wasn't going to spend all day in that , holding him in every ways .
- listen .. Honey .. I know you've been overwhelmed lately
She put a hand right in front of her as a stop
- challenged !
- right ! With the wedding planning , our baby and the new promotion , you will hardly left the office , especially today .
- I had everything covered !
She sighed , she was already tired . There were too much things to clean up and the more it will go and the more she will start regretting her place downstairs , at least she will be sitting quietly .
She shaped over him and looked around her … She smell a weird scent .. Like the smell of defeat … So obviously her mood could change faster than a speeding bullet , after a call which had upsetting her .
- and then we lost our crab cakes !
- Crab cakes ?
She nodded … She was in sugar miss right now … her baby needs to eat and apparently the pancakes and the donuts weren't enough . She walked by Clark and kept talking .
- exactly ! But they are the beginning of a much larger conspiracy .
Clark was lost … What was going on now ? Pregnancy hormones for sure , for changing mood like nothing .
- It's only conspiracy if someone's hiding something from you .
She looked at him , serious and thought " damn hormones " but she couldn't control them .
- yes ! And right now , you are ! So go jump in the river .
Clark was trying to understand what was going on his fiancée's mind . He left her one hour and she was ready to spent a wonderful day and suddenly she was serious as a pope .
- the river ?
She looked down to indicate some kind of plan she made .
- The river ! Clark , your size 14s are standing on a school , a church and a high-rise .
She walked towards him with a lot of book in her arms and got down to take some another ones .
- What does a map of Metropolis have to do with our Hors d'oeuvres ?
- The catering company that was covering our blessed event went under in the blink of an eye bought out by something called Marionette Ventures .?
Clark finally got why her mood has changed that way . The catering in question had called her … Still , she wasn't really motivated but plus , she was pregnant .. Her hormones were playing with her and Clark knew he would support her bad tempter all day long but he would try to go in the nice way , as he can do it , it was always working .
- well naturally … I've got a little bit huh .. Upset . So when I called to file a complaint with the Chamber of Commerce .
Clark looked at all the envelopes which were on the books , different companies names and he got it .
- then you realized it wasn't the only local company bought .
- exactly !
Clark looked at her , amused and tried to do something
- Lois .. it's just a sign of the times .
She found him a little bit too predictable .. She was about to hit him to make his way down reality but she could break her own hand .
- Then why did all the former owners suddenly skip town ?
Clark couldn't answer to that and made a wrong desolate face and then he knew she wouldn't give up on that scoop until she couldn't find some clear answers … So , in brief , it meant ' go see elsewhere If I'm there ' and he clearly got the message when she said .
- I'm sorry Clark but I need to have to slay this monster of a story before the wedding .
She walked towards her desk , eating on an apple that Clark hadn't notice before .
But there was no way he was giving up . Jor-el needed to know about their union and in Krypton , they've got their own way so they needed to do it quickly . Even the day before the wedding , it was too much and well , Jor-el wasn't real , so he wouldn't know .
- Ok but there's only one thing left on my wedding list that you can help me check off .
Checking her files and still eating her apple , she replied
- Well , we booked the chapel , bought the rings and the League is on part to protect the city while you're MIA and everybody is converging on the rehearsal dinner . What could we possibly have left do to ? Except make the announcement about the baby but we'll do it tonight .
She gave him a question look , frowned her eyebrow . Clark stumbled a bit .
- I told your father about the wedding but I didn't tell mine .
Lois closed her mouth which has been opened like she was ready to cut him but her face became softer , even she found that really big to did it at the last minute . But Clark was Clark , he always has been retarded , especially when it comes to warn the voice in the ice .
She throw her apple in the bin and gave up on the clean up . For now .
- well ! I can't wait to see how it works there . Here we go for the land of ices .
Clark smiled and took her in his arms and in few seconds they were in Arctic .
- wow ! So how does one ask for permission to marry on Krypton ?
He put her down and took her hand , walking side by side into the center of the fortress .
- the last time that Kara was in town , she told me in Kryptonian culture , the head of the house has to approve all life unions .
She looked at him with a love smile and put the other hand on his , squirming against him .
- life unions ? Will you stop being so romantic ?
A huge smile crossed his face and they came in the center of the fortress , welcomed by Jor-el voice .
- Kal-el my son ! You have returned !
Clark has expected a less warm welcome . His old father , was clearly feeling better in his frozen mind .
Clark and Lois exchanged a love look and Clark released Lois hand and walked forward .
- Jor-el , I come here today as a Kryptonian as a member of your house and your son . In honor of our home , I'm here to declare my desire to start a life bond with this woman …
He turned to her , his eyes sparkled
- Lois Lane !
Lois smiled back to him , feeling a little bit shy now . Jor-el talked to her .
- Lois Lane , do you truly intent to initiate a life union with my son ?
Lois felt a shiver all along her body , she cannot believe she was about to say those words , even it was not in the official way .
- I do !
- your pledge is observed . If your lives are to be joined then you must both understand
Clark frowned … His father will never done talking like that . He turned around , wondering what kind of things he was preparing when a quake shook them and a light wrapping Lois , as a big ice bloc fall down on her .
She felt her body goes under the snow but she weirdly didn't feel anything .. She was aware and was feeling no pain … And for a few seconds she had panicked for her baby but she knew everything was alright because she was alright and was wondering how that could be possible .
Meanwhile Clark has been scared to death . He ran way to the bloc , trying to move it but he can't . His heart was running through his brain , he didn't wanna lose the woman he loves and the mother of his child .
- Jor-el , what the hell are you doing ? Please … She's carrying our child … Give me my powers back !
No reaction . If Jor-el wasn't already dead , Clark would probably kill him … If they'd lost the baby , he would never forgive his father .
- Lois ? Can you hear me ? Are you okay ?
Lois felt a strength she had never felt in her whole life . So she knew she could move the bloc.. So she took it like she was carrying anything else .
Clark was speechless and walked backward when Lois stood up , without being hurt .
He wanted to make sure everything was alright with the baby but he just heard his own breathe ." crap .. Forgot " .
Lois has got his powers and didn't seem disturbed by it … He had nothing smarter to say ..
- Lois are you okay ?
Lois who was still carrying the bloc , smiled .
- I'm more than ok … I'm super !
She let down the bloc and Clark was still in shock . What happened in Jor-el's mind to give Lois his powers ?
She came back to him , putting her hands in his cheeks and kissed him .
- That's really a good thing ! Thanks Daddy Ice . Let's go !
- huh .. Wait .. Lois , are you sure you've really got my powers ?
- do you want me x ray your pants to prove it ?
He shook his head not without blushing , Lois was excited
- anyway , maybe with the baby , I would have powers too . I need to make it right now . Come on !
She took him by the arm and they left the fortress . Clark didn't even have the time to asked more about Lois pregnancy . Jor-el just had the time to tell them one thing about the day which was going .
