Enjoy !

At Watchtower , Clark couldn't take it anymore . He need to take her back . She should have been back since a while now. Nothing of that was normal .

Courtney was gone after Lois and just had called Tess , saying she was taking the Ferry for the prison .

- Good ! I'll be bring the truck around . Lois has been in there too long - Clark said - how are you coming on those diodes ?

- Almost there - Tess replied .

At the minute Clark was about to get out , Lois came into the tower and almost broke the doors . She made Tess and Clark jump and Tess was the first one to notice that she wasn't really herself . She covered her mouth with one hand , scared for her but also for the baby's health , especially with the diode on her .

- Lois

Clark was half- relieved / half-scarred because he saw that she was different . She had a murder face .

- Oh no ! Toyman put a diode on her neck . How long until sunset ?

Tess didn't have time to answer that Lois pushed Clark and sent him all along the tower , breaking the screens and he fell down against a wall .

Tess looked outside and at her tablet .

- You need to stall her . The sun's almost down .

Clark stood up on his knees and Lois walked toward him , still so angry .

- Lois , Toyman thinks he can control you . Don't let him .. Don't

She couldn't hear anything and put her hands on his neck to strangle him .

- Lois … You have to fight it … Do it for you , for us … Our baby .

- Hold on Clark ! Just a little bit longer , 20 seconds - Tess shouted

Lois wasn't aware at all , nothing could stop her even the words about their baby couldn't reach her . She kept forcing her hands on Clark's neck and he was barely breathing now .

- you're the most stubborn , iron-willed woman I've ever met . Don't let him win .

Lois seemed to understand some things but she couldn't make it so Clark tried a last word , the two words … The two magical words , which were always working in any case , at least he hoped so .

- I love you !

And here it happened . She fighter it for some few seconds , her face became clearer and she shook her head , completely disoriented

- Clark ..

She released him and looked at him with tears in her eyes . She wanted to hug him but the diode zapped and took over her body again . Clark wasn't up yet and call her fiancée's name .

- Lois ?

She turned around . Clark stood up and Lois looked at him confused … No mercy in her eyes . Tess screamed

- Clark not yet ! You don't have your powers back .

They looked at each other for a few seconds and Lois raised her right fist ready to finish the work but Clark was ready to respond and their hands touched together at the same moment the sun went down and Lois fell down on Clark's arms , trying to struggle herself for a few seconds . Clark could take off the diode and turned Lois to face him .

- Lois ? Answer me ! Lois wake up !

She took a few minutes before being completely aware .

- Clark ?

- It's okay ! It's over !

She slid her fingers to his cheek and looked at him with love and he did the same . They stayed longer in that position until Lois realized that she had done too much .

She quickly stood up from his arms .

- the baby .. Clark .. He is okay ? Check him out , please !

Clark was also freaking out about their baby . He made a sign to Tess and she ran to them and both , they sat down Lois on the couch .

Tess gave her some water and Clark kept her hands with his and focused on Lois'belly .

He sighed with relief when he heard the baby's heartbeat but he wasn't a doctor … He couldn't make more to be sure about his healthy .

- the baby is still there and his heart is beating normally .

Lois sighed and shoved her face into Clark's chest, crying in silence .

- I'm so sorry … He controlled me … All my body … I couldn't do anything about it .

- I know Sweetie .. I know !

She cried even more . She could have killed him and will end up alone to raise that child . He had a lot of responsibilities , she should have seen it sooner .

- Tess , I need you to call Emil please . I want him to check on Lois before the dinner tonight .

- alright ! I'm on it .

Emil quickly arrived and took Lois tension , checking if everything was fine with the baby but besides the blocks of actions he got today with her mum , he was very good .

Clark and Lois felt relieved . Tess and Emil left the tower and let the couple enjoying a moment together after all those emotions .

After a cuddle moment , Clark let Lois being ready for the dinner .

- it's almost time ! I'll be right back ! Get ready while you're waiting for me .

She nodded , he kissed her forehead and whooshed . She stayed down on the couch for few seconds , her hand on her belly . Tonight she'll make a decision .

She has been an idiot to let herself being manipulated that way and she knew it but to protect Clark , she was ready to do anything but it couldn't just work anymore .

Everyone was going through her to reach the man she loved … She knew they were all doing that to have what they wanted .. But even tho , she was a burden to him , especially when they'll have a child to raise , she will do the best to take care of this baby when Clark will be on some mission. She already loved this sweetheart but something was wrong … She couldn't let Clark losing his hero's responsibilities as the ones he'll get as a father to be in few months but also he will have some as a husband . With tears in her eyes , she decided to take a shower , telling herself she will see clearer that way.

Clark has visited Toyman in jail where in threaten him and took away his phone for good , then he went to the fortress .

He had one thing or two to say to his father . After what he had done to Lois , who could have lost the baby , he didn't want to deal with his father anymore , he was going to cut the contact for good . Too much , it was too much and after ten years , he was fed up of him .

- Kal-el , I trust you found my gift to the both of you illuminating .

- It wasn't a gift . It was a trial . And it wasn't about Lois appreciating what it was like to have my abilities or me realizing what it was like to be human , it was about control .

Even it was only a voice in the ice , Jor-el wasn't emotionless and he didn't like to hear those words from his son's mouth , especially when this one have one thing or two to learn about the kryptonians-humans pregnancies .

- your trials are not a riddle Kal-el , they are stepping stones on long path .

- Path that I could blindly walk forever but I understand now . This whole time , it's up to me to decide when to take control of my own destiny . The trials end when I'm ready for them to end .

- your journey is far from over .

Clark went silent for a while , trying to ask himself the good questions to say but he quickly vanished this idea from his mind . He will not get caught another time by his father , he walked toward the center of the fortress , the ice bloc where Jor-el voice's was coming from .

- But I can only be what the world needs , when I can finally admit I'm no longer just the son of Jor-el or Jonathan Kent . And you knew the time would come when neither of you could guide me anymore . And that time is now .

He took away the crystal and the fortress shut down .

- I wanted to ask you a lot of questions about Lois pregnancy but as often , I'm gonna find the answers by myself . Goodbye Jor-el .

He quickly got back to the tower . Lois was already dressed and was standing in the middle of the tower . She was rubbing her belly and she finally moved her hand to touch her ring , almost taking it off …

She was scared , she was nervous , she was the most stupid woman in the world .

Clark walked behind her and slowly put her scarf around her shoulders . She raised her eyes to him when he faced her , she fake a smile , tears in her eyes .

- are you feeling better ?

She looked at him deeply in his eyes and softly smiled to him .

- yeah .. You know Clark , walking a mile in your shoes is so different than I imagined it would be .

Clark looked at her with some sweetness in his eyes , feeling sorry she had to endure things like that .

- When you're just a reporter with a story the world hits the paper and the paper hits the stands and it's over . .. But for you , it's never over is it ?

- no !

Lois sighed , she was excepting another answer , even though she knew .

- I guess I tell myself there will always be a balance of good and evil in the world but it's up to me to tip the scale .

She shook her head , trying not to burst into tears .

- I always knew that you had a big heart . I just never realized how strong it was .

He smiled to her and hugged her , never wanting to let her go . His big arms wrapped all around her tight waist , 'as it was still tight' - she thought and he gave her a sweet kiss on the lips .

Through the window, Kara was watching them . She had listened to their conversation by curiosity . She heard the baby's heartbeat … She has been so touched that she didn't want to listen more , she was just happy for her cousin who deserved everything that what was happening to him and Lois . No one knew she was back , except Oliver that she had met earlier this day .

She will make a big surprise appearance at their wedding and she also wanted to be there for the child's birth . Lois would probably needed a kryptonian woman's help when she'll get powers .. Kara knew how it was working , Clark was a rookie blue and she feared he could do something stupid so she will be there for them , if they'll welcome her , of course .

She smiled , a tear crashed down in her cheek . She looked at the sky , floating .

- See you soon Clark !

Inside , Clark and Lois stopped kissing and were keeping to hug each other and Lois started to cry over him .

- I was so weak Clark .

Clark frowned , without never letting her go .

- You know , the very moment that Toyman threatened you .. I put on that diode and I let him control me … I put in danger our baby's life , it's a real miracle if he's still there and without any troubles .

She cuddled much more to him, rubbing his hair

- because you are my greatest weakness . And I'm afraid that I will be yours

Clark saw she was freaking out too much . Well he understood , with the day she has just had and she felt guilty that she could put in danger the baby but Clark was so understanding and it wasn't his fiancée's fault .. Whatever , the baby was fine and she didn't have to being worry like this .

- you're not my weakness . You're my strength . Okay ?

She was surprised he thought such kind things of her , she was touched and nodded .

- And I'm sorry that Jor-el dragged you into one of my trials , but it's over . Jor-el is as much a part of my past as the farm . My destiny is marrying you and raising our child in love and happiness . And for us to create our own future together .

Lois smiled , her tears were at the corners of her eyes .. She was happy to hear that but she was thinking anyway , she was still a burden to him .

Clark smiled back to her and released her hands .

- come on, everyone's waiting .

He turned back and she watched him … She will be weak and would have all the reasons for it . She would hate her until the end of time for what she was about to do , it was hard even for her . Clark had a destiny much more bigger than marrying a poor reporter , he would carry too much on his shoulders and she didn't want him to rest on her , she was too weak for that .

- Clark .. I'm sorry .

He turned to face her and gave her a questioning look .

- After today , I realized that us being together makes you vulnerable . And I can't just sit and watch a movie and eat ice cream , take care of the baby when at that very moment you could be saving five people . Clark , every moment of your life that I take for myself , I am stealing from people who need saving .

He walked closer to her , feeling his heart beating down his ankles , what was going on with her ? The strong and brave woman wasn't going down ,was she ?

- Lois what are you saying ?

She looked at him and burst into tears . It was hurting her but she was standing on his way , he needs to be hero not a perfect husband who comes every day to take care of his family , his wife and his baby . She could handle that side , she had a lot of people around her to help her when Clark couldn't get home for taking care of their child even if his mission needed him for a few days but he didn't have to sacrifice everything to put her forward anyone else .

- I'm so …

She looked down and looked at her ring … She couldn't stop crying and she had a broken voice , she couldn't make it but she had to . Clark wasn't moving and tried to understand .

- What it is ?

- I'm sorry Clark .

He seemed to understand and shook his head .

- No .. Lois .

If she wasn't already feeling bad , she would shot herself . She hated her so much at this moment .

- I can't marry you !

He looked at her .. His face just distorted , no expression . He didn't know how to react to this … He've got the impression that a piece of his heart has been stolen and didn't know what to do while Lois kept bursting into tears , putting her head on his shoulder and in a broken voice said " I'm so sorry " .

He didn't know what else to do than give her hug back and put his head on hers .

After the hug , Lois was in tears and couldn't say anything more . She sat on the couch , feeling she was about to faint . Clark leaned against the door and looked at his phone .

- I .. I'm gonna take you back to the apartment and I'm gonna stay there for tonight . I'm warning our friends to tell them the dinner is canceled because you're not feeling well .

Lois was grateful he was so kind . She laid on the couch and put a hand on her belly .

Clark wasn't going to say the wedding has just been cancelled . He'll let Lois breathe but he would make Lois have his name , she loved him and he loved her . Nothing could tear them apart and she was only in shock after the day she has been through and she was so scared about the baby that Clark thought she said that under fear but she really meant it .

After canceling the dinner , he got back to his fiancée who had fell asleep in the meantime. He smiled and kissed her belly , bring her into his arms to take her at the apartment and lay her on their bed .

- I love you Lois ! Don't forget that !

He kissed her forehead and whooshed back to Watchtower hoping she would change her mind the day after … Because doing something like that the day before the D-Day , that was big . But Lois was Lois and when she says something she rarely made her way back but he hoped so this time .
