Lois was resting since a few weeks but she was still doing journalism and was sending her articles from her mail box to Perry who finally became their new editor in chief .
Clark was still going to the Daily Planet even though Perry often told him to stay at home with his wife so sometimes they were both working at home .
Otherwise , Lois was well following Emil prescriptions who had warned her to spare herself quietly especially with the abilities . She was using them very carefully and didn't push except when she was in bed with her husband .
During the time she had Clark's abilities , she also wanted try to better understand the consequences but with her pregnancy , she couldn't push much if she didn't want to have some allergy or more as Jor el told them . So she was learning to live with the abilities all above being careful even for the bedroom sport , how much it was funny for both of them to use super speed during sex , Lois needed to slow down a bit despite herself .
Consequently , she was a pregnant woman who handled her super hero husband's abilities , writing articles and was getting ready for her baby's birth just like any other pregnant woman and especially with the help of Martha who was completely over the moon . Kara , Chloe and also Tess who was her best-friend now , were helping her .
Clark couldn't be more happy to see how much Lois was giving a lot of her time to welcome their baby in the best conditions and she was doing that every days and he never saw her with so much self-confidence and he was falling deeper seeing her that way .
When she reached 8 months pregnancy , her belly was very huge and she had some troubles to walk normally . Everything was ready for the Big day . The baby's room was full of new stuff , without even counting the gifts from their close friends and family . They already protected all the plugs even their daughter couldn't reach them before a certain time but better safe than sorry .
This time , Lois was really in maternity leave and even Perry had ordered her to rest and that she better not doing anything stupid and being tempted by any scoops , no matter how important it could be .
But well , one day , Lex was doing his come back and for that , he was giving a press conference to talk about any points that he was judging important .
Of course , Lois knew about that and she found a way for trying to stick her nose under his business . She was fighting with Clark hoping she would have the last word and he would give up his argument .
- honey ! Come on ! I need to be there by myself ! It could one of the best moments of our career . And besides , we could ask him some questions which could embarrass him .
Clark sighed for the billion time . He was desperately trying to not concede over his wife .
- No way Lois ! You are so staying here ! I'm gonna be there myself and I'll ask some questions for you if you want to but there's no way you're moving out of this apartment . There are only a few weeks left before she'll be born and next week you'll have your last ultrasound to check if everything is fine for the delivery . So , honey , I know it's hard for you but you're not going anywhere . The conference will be airing on TV , you could follow it . You're in maternity leave so there's no reason for you to work ! Have a rest .
Lois pouted and muttered as she was always doing with her bad faith .
- you know work is important .. I want to make him spit it out this son of a..
Clark interrupted her
- Honey ! You don't need to be rude . I don't wanna hear our daughter repeating all your forbidden words in three years .
Lois sticked her tongue to him and she melted into the couch , looking at Clark with her own puppy dog eyes .
- no ! Even with that look , you'll not buying me . You're staying here , that's all !
She added a child pout with her look . Clark started to lose his ways and he gritted his teeth .
- how women can do that with only their charm !?
A huge smile crossed Lois face . She heard him even he had muttered for himself .
- so it means I can go with you ?
Clark sighed and laid his both hands on his hair , about to rip it . He walked all along the apartment and looked through the window , wondering what he needed to do in some case like this . He didn't want to let her alone in the apartment because he knew in one way or another she'll show up at the conference but in the meantime he couldn't ask their friends or his mum to baby sit her , she wasn't the one who needs that but she was so stubborn .
And as it wasn't enough , Lois walked to him after 5 minutes trying to stand up , she leaned her head on Clark's back and she slid her hands under his shirt , touching his abs . He chilled ! This woman will drive him crazy . Lois laid her chin on his shoulder and moaned sensually into his ear .
- come on ! It would be our little secret and I promise , tonight … You'll do whatever you want .. Well not so much because the whale there has some troubles with some positions lately .
Clark turned to face her and put a finger on her lips . Lois smiled , hoping he was about to give up but instead of this , he caught her into his arms .. In the meantime she was wondering how he was doing that without breaking any muscle even with his strength .
He laid her on the couch and changed quickly in super speed for the conference .
- I love you and I love our baby so I care about both of your health so today you're staying home . Your feminine charm didn't work that time , even it was about to .
He laughed and quickly kissed her on the lips . Lois jaw dropped and she yelled when he came out .
- well suit yourself ! Tonight I'm doing a sex hiatus !
Clark was already gone but he knew she wouldn't keep her promise , at least not so long . Lois completely laid on the couch and turned on the TV , crossing her arms and pouted .
She talked to her baby
- did you see how daddy's acting to me ? He doesn't want me going on a scoop but you know it's also to raise you if we're doing this job. This is upsetting , I wanna go there . Okay ,well , you're not gonna say anything to daddy huh ? I'm counting on you . Oh and you're a nice girl , every troubles , you're getting in with mum so I know you're not gonna say anything . Come on , let me stand .
She hardly stood up and finally thought she should have never lie again but some huge kick made her understand that she wouldn't go anywhere so she gave up the idea of getting out .
- no ! You're not doing your part of the deal sweetheart ! Don't be shy as your father , don't forget you also have my temper .
As the baby was directly talking to her , Lois felt two others kicks , probably meaning that she hadn't forgotten who her parents were and that she'll have both temper .
Lois laughed and rubbed her belly , couldn't believe she was communicating that way with her baby . She was very touched and tears were at the corner of her eyes and dropped all along her cheeks .
- oh baby ! You're gonna make both your father and me so happy when you'll be there . You have no idea how much we can't wait . We already love you so much sweetie .
She laid under the couch and kept rubbing her belly while her baby seemed happy and was getting quiet under the touches .
Lois was watching the conference without being able to stop growling and she could see Clark who was asking some questions she would ask herself , she smirked . They were thinking alike , they had found each other well .
Lois was happy Lex didn't have any memory left , thanks to Tess . At least Lex wouldn't hurt Clark , well he hoped so because he was still obsess by Superman and Lois hoped he wouldn't remember that her husband and the hero were the same and that he had a family and knowing Lex , he was the kind to attack the closer people first .
But suddenly Lex said something and Lois felt some nervous blood running through her veins . Clark just asked about the " economic crisis " and how Lex will re open the latest companies which had failed and were closed and even the President himself couldn't avoid it .
- Mister Kent ..If I'm not mistaken , Lois Lane is your wife , isn't she ?
The camera turned into Clark's face who nodded . Lois feared what he could say and she felt her heartbeat racing faster .
- I heard well more saw because I've seen her on the street one day , she's pregnant and well pregnant . Don't you want a better future for your child to be born soon ? As the new generation , he'll be in the middle of the crisis and I bet he will have a lot of troubles to find his place in the world . If I re open those companies and give another perspective to the economy , it's to allow those people in ten or twenty years to find something that will lead them into their professional life .
Lois laughed nervously . He was even better than a politician , he still knew how to lead his people by lies . Clark was thinking as his wife and replied to Lex
- well I'm not sure money is the most important thing to make a child happy , of course they'll need to learn the value but the most important thing for a child is to be raised well by his parents, and my wife and I are gonna make everything we have in our hands for our child to feel good in his life . Economy crisis will still be there , no matter how hard you'll re open companies and propose a billion to help . The world has already changed too much .
Lois was exulting on the couch
- great talking honey ! Daddy is really the strongest of them all Sweetie !
Clark's answer left Lex speechless and he changed subject by taking another question . Clark was happy to shut him and hoped Lois didn't miss any of it .
This is why when he came back home , Lois was standing since 10 minutes because she had anticipated her own reaction and she jumped into Clark's arms and kissed him hungrily .
- that was awesome honey ! I can tell you that the girl and me are very proud of you . You completely shut his big mouth , so that he couldn't even say a word . I like the way you were talking about our family . Looks like I have a good influence on you .
He smiled and kissed her forehead and her belly .
- I think you have been having a good influence on me for years now and I'm not complaining at all.
Lois smiled foolishly and made her way to the kitchen to take a piece of apple pie before she let herself down on the couch again and she sighed so hard than every paper work had been throw all along the room .
Clark caught them all before they went through the window . He looked at his wife harshly and she gave him an apologize look .
- sorry ! Sometimes I forgot I still have that super breathe . But god , I can't wait for her to be born . I don't wanna sound squeamish but she started to be really heavy on there and I can feel she really want to go out . She must be fed up to stay in it . I can't stop talking about life to her so she's probably curious to see how it's like at the surface .
Clark smiled and joined Lois on the couch , rubbing his hand on her belly and the baby who was a bit excited , became completely calm when she felt Clark's touch .
He whispered
- sweetie , you don't need to be so hurry to come out ! If I was you , I'll wait the good moment because once you'll be out , you'll want to come back because honestly you're better on mummy's belly , it's warm and safe than outside where it's cold and dangerous and daddy has to stop every dangerous situations when he can .
He kissed Lois belly like the baby was already into his arms . Only a few weeks left , both were thinking without any words needed .
