On this month where the Christmas Holidays were near and everything was starting to be in that mood , Lois was covered under a blanket , eating a big chocolate pie in front of TV and looking the news growling at every politician she was seeing .
Clark was making the last preparation in their daughter's room . He really wanted everything to be perfect for her to be comfortable .
He was giving a glimpse or two at Lois once in a while and was very amused by her behavior . She was yelling at the TV without stopping to talk at her belly .
This year he didn't even got the time to do his Christmas shopping but he didn't need anything . His best present was without any doubt their daughter and nothing could be more wonderful that a little star being born in December .
But he and Lois didn't get the time for that , their family and friends had rushed into the malls and shops . Martha had bought loads of gifts and Kara has decided to ruin every Metropolis shops since she had open an account with Martha's help . She was buying a lot of stuff for her niece , herself and the Kents .
Lois was tired to watch TV and all the lies which have been said , she just turned it off without thinking about anything else . She leaned on the couch's side to get up and put the plate in the kitchen's sink but when she stood up , she completely fell on a sit position on the couch and put her hand on her belly . She was feeling the first contractions they were very painful .
She just dropped the plate which has broken in many pieces on the ground . Attracted by the sound and very concerned about his wife , Clark had run quickly and he saw her holding her belly , she was trying not to show her pain but it was read all over her face . He walked closer to her and helped her to get up .
- you're gonna deliver honey ! I need to take you to the hospital . Did you plan to stay here without telling me anything or what ?
She gave him a dirty look as a reply and he knew he better take her at the moment . He quickly called his cousin who landed in the apartment even before he had hang off .
Kara took Lois'bag while Clark helped her to walk and by his biggest surprise , a car was already out there and he saw Chloe , Oliver , Martha and Tess on it .
- come on in ! I don't think this lady can wait anymore .
- you're right cuz ! Ollie ! You'd better drive out of the speed limit , right now , who cares about contraventions ? Chop chop ! I'm not saying anything but this is really painful … Lucky both of you , I still have abilities which are allowing me to not scream .
Clark helped her to come into the car and held her hand during the whole trip . Kara was following them trough the sky .
When they arrived at the hospital , Oliver and Clark were carrying Lois even tho Clark has insisted to carry her himself but his best friend convinced him , it would be better if they were together if they didn't want to expose Clark about his double life while carrying a pregnant woman like he was carrying a pen .
Lois was holding herself to not scream but she could feel the pain going through her veins . When some doctors saw the whole team coming with Lois in their arms , they wanted to take care of her but Clark only asked them to call Emil because he'll be the one to take care of the delivery . He has been barely biped that he was in the hall and just nodded to everyone to make them followed him .
When they arrived in front of the delivery room , he stopped everyone
- sorry my friends but from now , only Clark can come in ! You need to wait outside . I don't know how long it will be , it depends how much the neck is open . Later guys . Clark bring the woman here .
Just before Emil could come into the room , Tess gave him a passionate kiss and said
- do your job well ! Make her giving birth in the best conditions .
- don't worry about that
Lois was sweating much more and yelled
- hey ! How cute is that ?! But could you please keep your hands and lips or anything for later ? Let me remind you that some people are in labor and if it keeping in that way , I'm gonna do it all by myself so we don't care about your sex life right now ! You'd better do your job doc or I'm ripping your head off !
Emil quickly moved into the room growling and while he passed by Clark he said " Delivery hormones "
Clark helped Lois to put the hospital dress and laid her under the bed , in her labor position . Emil looked at Lois neck and looked at Clark .
- I still have the time to make an epidural . She is dilated to 1,6 inch for now . If she was dilated from 2 inch , I couldn't do anything . Lois , it could be a bit frozen so try to hold any contractions and the neck is not gonna open more while I'm doing the epidural .
Lois straight up and was about to spill in Emil's face .
- yeah right ! Easy to say for you huh ? For god's sake , you're a man ! You don't have what we have ! I'm not giving a shit about your epidural and if she wants to protest again , I will not be able to hold her , I'm not god so leave me alone and stop talking and do your job !
Emil was really confused and Clark was trying to do his best to calm his wife , rubbing her hair , saying love words to her but this time , nothing seemed to work .
- shut up Clark ! This is all your fault ! You were happy to put your super spermatozoids everywhere in my ovum so now , deal with it ! And stop playing the good Samaritan , it's not gonna work every time and certainly not yet !
Clark wasn't even scared by his wife and was amused . They were all the same when they were giving birth anyway . Emil had warned him that she should lost her nerves quickly . She already have a tough temper but it was even worse with the kryptonian hormones .
Emil just had the time to make Lois'epidural that her neck opened again and this time she couldn't held a long scream because it seemed that the pain was endless .
- here's a little girl who's in hurry to get out - Emil said
- well so let's her get out then !
After 15 minutes , her neck was open at 2,8 inch and the contractions haven't stopped . Even she still have the abilities , the pain was there and Lois almost broke Clark's hand who was wondering if he'll be able to write again .
Emil was very professional and super quiet while he was getting Lois ready for the labor . Even Clark wondered how he could be so quiet because everyone lose their mooned with pregnant women .
They had to wait at least three hours before another contractions happened , the neck has been open in only one inch during that time . Looks like eventually the baby had told herself she was better inside her mother's belly and it will be good if she wasn't in a hurry to get out but now it was her time to know the world .
Lois started to scream and this time it was the good one . The neck opened at 3,9 inch . Emil placed himself in front of Lois legs and Clark was holding his wife's hand even he couldn't feel his own hand anymore .
- good Lois ! Now , you need to push ! She's already very down , you won't have much efforts to do .
Lois screamed again to reply and she held herself to the bed and started to push trying to think about her yoga's sessions and how she needs to handle .
As she still had abilities , she could find some breathe and pushed without being too tired but she was sweating much and got the impression nothing was moving .
She looked at Clark lengthily and while another contraction happened and she was still pushing , she yelled after him
- this all your fault Clark , only you !
Clark smiled and rubbed Lois forehead , kissing his hand .
- yes Honey ! I know this is all my fault , it always has been but I know you love me despite of that .
- yeah right ! I hate you because you're making me suffer so damn much ! Holy shit !
Clark didn't stop smiling because he knew it was a perfect natural reaction when a woman was in labor . He just stayed by her side , she needed it .
- Lois you need to do a last effort , I'm seeing her head , just have her shoulders left for her to be out . You can do it .
- Damn it ! I would like to see you do it . I can't anymore and even with abilities .
She was wondering how she would be if she didn't get any abilities . She closed her eyes and she dug her nails into Clark's hands who felt the whole blood shook his entire body . Lois completely broke the iron bar she was leaning on and with a last effort , she pushed and when she heard her daughter's cries , she knew she made it and she collapsed on the bed , bursting into tears . No one could tell if she was crying of joy or relief or both .
Clark completely lost the sense of space when he saw the baby's into Emil's arms . He looked at Clark and gave him the baby .
- do you want to cut the umbilical cord Clark ?
He looked at his wife who nodded to him . Sparkles in his eyes , he took the fragile body of his daughter who stopped crying once she was into her daddy's arms . He cut the cord and said to her
- hi you ! This is daddy ! You're so beautiful . I'm gonna introduce you to someone who cannot wait to have you into her arms .
He walked to Lois and laid the baby on her belly . Feeling her mother's contact , the baby became even more quiet and she started to close her tiny eyes . Lois laughed nervously , tears into her eyes and she softly put her hand on her baby's head and kissed her .
- hi sweetheart ! I couldn't wait for you to get out , you were a bit heavy inside . Otherwise , you have so many hair . You're the most wonderful baby girl and daddy and me , we're in heaven .
She raised her eyes to her husband who was silently crying , she pulled him to her and kissed him passionately .
- I love you farm boy !
Clark said ironically but smiling
- weird ! Few minutes ago you hated me .
She smiled and rubbed his arm
- you know I was on pain , so I was saying shit . And I'll never hate you , put that in your head Kent ! I'm so madly in love with you otherwise I will never let you marry me and made me a baby .
She winked at him and he simply smiled , kissing her on the forehead . Emil looked at them , he was very touched . He wanted to give them some time alone with their baby , it was the first contact so they needed it but Clark walked closer to him and hugged without him expecting anything .
- thanks for your work and your patience Emil and helped Lois to give birth to our little girl .
- you'r welcome Clark , this is my job . I'm happy I'm the one who did it tho . Well , if you don't mind I'm gonna take her to take her weight and her height and check if everything is ok with her but with just a glimpse , she seems perfectly fine . While I'm doing that , you can warn your friends .
He nodded and while Lois gave the baby to Emil and stayed quiet in the bed . She was exhausted but really happy and she never thought she will be , not like this .
Clark had warned everyone and he was over the moon
- Here we are … Our little girl is born … Lois is fine , she's very exhausted but she really did a good job .
Martha burst into tears into Kara's arms and she didn't even see the baby yet . Clark told them to follow him and the most adorable scene ever was happening .
Emil had laid the baby on Lois belly again and she just couldn't stop rubbing her hair and kissing her on the forehead , playing with her tiny hands . She was so fragile that Lois was afraid to break her and was very gentle with her .
Clark walked closer to them and kissed Lois on the lips while their friends and family were very touched by this wonderful love story and family .
Martha was frozen , her eyes were completely blurred by tears . As she couldn't have child naturally she was dying happy to become a grand mother and especially to see her son who wasn't even human could reproduce with an human woman .
All those emotions gave her the hiccup , Lois gave her the baby and everyone could carry her .
Emil enjoyed that moment to tell the baby's weight and height .
- so your baby girl is fine ! Well I wasn't doubting anyway . Her height is 19,7 inch on the dot and her weight is 8,4 Ibs . A beautiful baby . Did you find her a name ? It's just for the birth bracelet or it could wait .
Tess who had the baby in her arms , laid her into Lois arms and Lois and Clark looked and each other , nodding .
- we talked about it during the pregnancy and it's pretty obvious . We're gonna mix both our mother's names and I wanted to Lois mother's name being first so let us introduce you : Ella Lara Kent .
Emil smiled and wrote her name in her birth bracelet and tied it on her wrist . Lois was everywhere but not here .
- she's so cute ! I just can't believe she's finally there . You have no idea how much I'm happy .
Everyone smiled . They were all happy . Happy for this couple who deserved their happiness and happy to have a baby in their big vigilantes family .
Oliver walked closer to Lois and put a laptop on the TV table dinner and said
- speaking of that ! I think there are two people you love that would like to see the baby .
Lois gave him a questioning look but he only started a Skype videoconference where the general Lane and Lucy were connected . Lois felt her heart raced by seeing them .
- Hi sister ! Chloe had warned us that you're gonna give birth so we're both connected in our side . Even daddy had interrupted his training to see the new family member .
- It's not every day a general becomes grandfather for the first time ! So let us see this cutie .
Lois knew her dad was hiding his emotions but she could see in his eyes that he was proud of her and happy . She straighten up and with the help of her husband , she slowly turned the baby in front of the screen . She was already sleeping .
Lucy raised her hand on her mouth , tears crashing down her cheeks and the general was keeping an indifferent expression but everyone knew he was an happy grandfather .
- Damn it Lois ! My niece is just so beautiful ! She's really big and hairy , not like daddy .
Sam gave a dirty look to his youngest daughter .
- Hey ! I'm not allowing you to say things like that young lady .
- well , only the truth !
Lois rolled her eyes and shook Ella's hand .
- sweetheart ! Good for you you're sleeping because the two weirdo who can't stop arguing in front of you aren't no one but your grandfather Sam and your aunt Lucy , you're not seeing them yet but you'll quickly understand that on the Lanes side , we're a bit crazy .
Everyone burst into laughs even both Sam and Lucy .
- this baby is utterly adorable - Sam said - congratulations Clark , you'd gave to my daughter a wonderful baby.
Clark showed a face with a huge smile .
- thank you sir !
- and how did you call my niece ? - Lucy asked
Lois smiled knowing that her dad will chill and even her sister but as she was only 4 when their mum died , the effect will be different on her .
- Ella Lara Kent !
Sam paused for a while , thinking about his wife who must been happy that her name has been used for their granddaughter . . He smiled and simply nodded to thank his daughter but also to hide his emotions , a general wasn't weak . Lucy was sure she completely destroyed her screen because she couldn't stop crying and she was seeing blur .
Everyone stayed with Lois and Clark for a while including Sam and Lucy but they ended up letting them alone , knowing Lois needed to rest and Ella needed some calm . Clark kissed his two love life and he told his wife who was becoming sleepy
- tomorrow or after tomorrow , we'll be at home and our little family life will start for good .
