The Wedding's here! Although nothing can top what we saw in the finale, I hope this is at least worth enjoying.
Chapter Forty Eight
Lois straightened her dress while staring at herself in the mirror with a small smile, "Your mother would be so proud of you" The General says with a small smile as he kisses her on the cheek and moves to the side so that Lucy could hand her the bouquet and offered a small smile while they both tried to hold in their tears.
"If one of you starts crying then we'll all be crying" Chloe says handing Lois a blue ribbon, "We want you to look good for your soon to be husband"
The door opens and Maggie looks up at Lois with the widest eyes, "Wow Lo. You look beautiful"
"As do you Mags" Lois walks over to take the girl's hand and twirls her around with a small laugh, "You look like a little princess"
"Then that makes you the queen" Maggie added before her Superman watch began beeping, "Its time" she grabs her little flower basket and leans up to give Lois a kiss on the cheek, "Knock'em dead…mom"
Once the door closed, Lois turned around to face her family with the largest smile on her face, "She called me mom."
Meanwhile at the same time…
Clark stood near the minister fiddling with his cufflinks only to have Jonathan place a hand on his shoulder, "You're going be okay son." the sandy haired farmer pats him on the shoulder, "Take a deep breath and just relax"
"I've never been this nervous before. I feel like there's kryptonite in the pit of my stomach."
Jonathan let out a small chuckle, "That'll go away the moment you lay eyes on your bride." The sandy haired farmer casts a glance towards Martha, "Trust it from someone that's been there." He looks back at Clark, "Just try not to trip on your way out" he gave Clark one last pat on the shoulder before going back to sit down at Martha's side.
The music began and everyone stood as the doors open and Maggie was the first one out as she sprinkled rose petals down the aisle while Lucy walked behind her then Chloe until finally General Lane and Lois appeared in the doorway.
The moment he turned to get a glimpse of her his heart stopped and all the air was knocked out of his lungs when he saw her dressed in white with that enchanting smile on her face that drove him absolutely bonkers.
Father and daughter made their way down the aisle when she noticed tears were forming in the hardened soldier's eyes which surprised her and rubbed the general's arm with a small smile.
Lois gave her father a kiss on the cheek before she slid her hand into Clark's, "You look…breathtaking" he whispers as they turn to look at the minister.
"You don't look half bad yourself Smallville" she responds with that smile still on her face which he matched as everyone sat down and the minister began.
When it came time to exchange their vows they turned to one another with the smiles never wavering from their faces as Lois started first, "Seven years ago I met the most extraordinary man and although we knew each other for a few weeks if felt like I knew him forever. To be standing here in this moment with that same man is something I never thought possible but I've come to learn that anything is possible if you believe in it and fight for it. I promise to keep on believing in the impossible and to love you until my last breath."
If it was possible Clark's smile was even wider and he was very tempted to just sweep her off her feet and kiss her but restrained himself with a reminder, "In a few minutes." Then cleared his throat and pushed up his glasses nervously, "When I was lost you brought me back and gave me a purpose…you are my strength and with you by my side I feel like I can do anything. If you'll have me I will love and cherish those moments we spend together and love you forever."
They continued the rest of the ceremony minutes later with the exchange of rings and they kissed sealing the bond between them as man and wife, "I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Clark Kent!"
Everyone applauded and Jimmy let out a loud, "Yeah!" only to grow uncomfortably quiet when one of the wedding guests gave him a look and went back to snapping pictures of the happy couple making their way down the aisle towards the red pick up truck that awaited them with the words: JUST MARRIED written on the back.
Lois and Clark swayed softly on the dance floor to a Whitesnake power ballad for their first dance as bride and groom, "Did you ever think we'd ever get here?" he asks while they sway slowly and Jimmy snapped photos.
"I would say no but then I'd be lying."
He smirks and leans down to place his lips over hers, "I love you Mrs. Lane-Kent"
"And I love you Mr. Kent-Lane"
"Still haven't figured it out yet?" he asks with a small laugh
"Might just flip a coin, its easier that way"
He spun her around and the song ended just as the DJ announced a father daughter dance. General Lane nodded to Clark when they passed each other but not before Clark's father in law whispered, "You hurt my daughter and I will use everything in my disposal to break you into little tiny pieces"
"I wouldn't dream of it sir" he gives a small smile before walking away with a shake of his head when Maggie ran towards him, "Having fun?"
She nodded and was about to run off again but he stopped her, "Aren't you gonna dance with your old man?"
She just smiled and was led onto the dance floor right next to her new mother and grandfather, "Does this mean we have to move?" she asks.
"If you ever want to have brothers and sisters we're going to have to move into a bigger home." He twirls her around with a small smile, "You do want a little brother or sister, don't you?"
"Yes!" she exclaims with excitement that causes both Lois and Clark to smile.
"A little early to be discussing grandchildren" General Lane states earning a small tap from Lois and a hushed whisper that quickly silenced him further while Lois mouthed an apology to her husband.
"Husband. I like the sound of that" she thought to herself while the General spun her around.
"I haven't seen you this happy in a very long time" states the General and for the first time appears to be smiling, "After everything you deserve it" She tried not to cry but a tear leaked out, "Just know though that I expect that we spend at least one Thanksgiving together once a year. I may even make room for some Christmases."
Clark cleared his throat causing father and daughter to turn towards him, "May I cut in?" The General nods then leans down to kiss Lois on the cheek before stepping aside to the let the bride and groom dance.
"Grandpa General Sir"
"Yes Margaret"
"Can I dance with you?"
The General suppressed a smile but it broke through and he held his hand out to the girl, "It would be my honor" they began dancing side by side with Lois and Clark, "And you can call me Grandpa Sam"
It seemed like they spent hours dancing until finally the fatigue hit Lois and they walked over towards their table where she took a greedy sip of ice water while Clark rubbed her back.
Kara appeared in front of them a few minutes later holding something wrapped in her hands, "There's a situation at the Metro Bank" Clark made a move to get up but she just held out her hand, "I've got it covered but I wanted to give this to Lois before I left" she handed over the wrapped item to the bride.
Lois let out a small breath when she saw the beautiful charm bracelet with a small clear crystal dangling alongside a few kryptonian charms, "I know we're not on krypton but I thought it would be nice to include some of the old traditions just this once" Kara stated while Clark helped Lois put the charm bracelet on, "You can add more charms if you want and maybe pass it down once you two start popping out those kids"
Clark immediately sent his cousin a look and she just laughed before a familiar look crossed her face, "Go" Lois stated and watched as the kryptonian made a hastily exit then looked down at her new apparel and ran her fingers over the El symbol charm then the tiny crystal but stopped when she saw a kryptonian symbol she didn't recognize, "What does this mean?"
"Hope" he answers with a small smile then leans down to kiss her but stopped when someone cleared their throat and the couple turned to see Bruce standing there.
He stood there stiff as a board and stoic as usual. If it wasn't for Diana giving him a nudge in passing they would've remained in awkward silence, "I just wanted to congratulate you both on the nuptials and to give you this" he reached into his tuxedo's pocket and pulled out an envelope, "Consider it as both a wedding present and an apology"
"You didn't have to get us anything and you certainly don't have to apologize" Clark replied with a smile while Lois took the envelope from Bruce, "The fact that you're here is enough"
He offered the couple a nod then walked away while Clark turned back to Lois and placed a hand over hers, "Care for a dance Mrs. Kent?" he asks with that same charming smile that sent her heart into overdrive.
"I'd love to Mr. Lane" she replied with a playful smirk walked as they walked hand in hand towards the dance floor.
"Still haven't figured it out yet"
"Nope but I will"
They danced the night away…
