Chapter 9 Part C

(Lana POV)

There was a small group of friends and family minus one Maid of Honor sitting around the long table for our engagement party. I heard Lex tap his glass as he stood up. We all looked up at him.

“Could I have everyone's attention, please?”

Everyone quieted down and I smiled. I love how he could command a room…Lex was a natural born leader. He smiled around the table to everyone.

“I just wanted to thank you all for joining us to celebrate. Over the years, I'm sure some of you have placed a few bets on whether I'd settle down. But this couldn't be further from settling. I'd like to toast my beautiful fiancée for making me happier than I thought I could ever be.”

Tears pooled in my eyes and our eyes met as he finished his toast. Just then I heard the doors burst open and I saw Clark and Chloe strut in the room. They looked different. Clark was wearing black jeans and a black leather jacket…his demeanor looked harder. He smirked and his voice was loud.

“Looks like we missed dinner.”

I glanced toward Lex and his facial expression darkened. This is not happening…what is going on with Clark…I swear…and what is Chloe doing? Lex’s voice was stern.

“Clark, what are you doing here?”

He smirked and let Chloe’s hand go as he circled around the table looking at everyone he knew who was seated there. His voice was sarcastic and leaked resentment when he spoke.

“Come on, Lex. You didn't think I was gonna miss this, did you? And look. My own mother would rather raise a glass with the enemy than stand by her own son.”

I looked at Mrs. Kent and she was taking Clark in with worry on her face. Her voice was soft when she spoke.

“Clark, you're not yourself.”

He snorted and gave her a condescending look.

“It's okay, Mom. You're more a Luthor than a Kent these days anyway. I mean, dad's been, what, dead a year? But who can blame you for joining the race with Lana to see who's gonna add the Luthor monogram to their name first?”

I looked up angrily at Clark. Who the hell did he think he was that he could come in here and ruin mine and Lex’s engagement dinner? His Jekyle and Hyde routine was really starting to piss me off.

I could see Mrs. Kent struggling to keep her composure just like I was. She looked over at me and gave me a look of apology. She had no clue what was going on either. Lex started to move towards Clark but I took a deep breath and spoke to him.

“Lex, he's obviously on something, and he wants us to react. Please don't.”

He stopped himself and I could see him attempting to control his darker urges. I was almost at the point where I didn’t care if Lex tried to hurt Clark…I couldn’t believe he could do this…and Chloe…she was just standing there smirking at what Clark was saying…How could she be so cold…I’m her best friend and Martha is like a mother to her.

Clark looked over to Chloe and she smiled at him he grinned and faced us again.

“It’s good to know at least someone is loyal to me. I know Chloe doesn’t have any Luthor’s on the brain…not after what we spent all afternoon doing…”

She chuckled.

“Clark Kent! That’s private these good people don’t want to here about our sex lives…I mean jeez most of them probably don’t have sex….although with Lana being pregnant we know her and Lex do.”

Several people at the table gasped. I closed my eyes. The only people who know about the baby were Chloe, Clark, Lois and Mrs. Kent….we weren’t telling people yet. I was in the beginning of my fourth month and I just started to show so if I wore the right thing’s you couldn’t really tell. I guess that didn’t really matter anymore though huh?

Clark faced me and laughed. His voice came out carefree…like he didn’t give a damn about what he was saying to me.

“And you. You know, I got to hand it to you. If you were gonna rebound, why not choose the one person that I hated the most? But, I mean, come on, Lana. The joke's over by now, isn't it?”

Lex obviously couldn’t let that one go because he raised his voice at Clark and I saw his fists white from him holding back.

“Clark, I think you've done enough damage. Why don't you take your whore with you and leave?”

I shook my head and glanced in Clark’s direction…it almost looked like his eyes glowed red for a second. He moved toward Lex. He screamed at Lex not even trying to hide his anger.

“I'm not done yet! And Lex….I don’t care who is around if you EVER speak about my wife like that again…I won’t be held accountable for what I do to you…and if you don’t think I can do anything…I’m begging you to try me.”

When I heard him say wife I think his mother and I gasped at the same time. The only difference was I said something to him about it. My voice was loud enough to be heard but I wasn’t yelling.

“Wife?”

Chloe turned to me and smirked.

“Yes wife….you have something you want to say about it Lana? Or maybe now that Clark and I are married you’ll want to run off and elope with Lex…how is it no matter what we’re doing we are always in competition with each other?”

I looked down to get myself together and then looked back up a mask of indifference firmly on my face.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about Chloe…”

She nodded. Her voice came out impressed but I know she was just mocking me.

“Wow Lana…living with a Luthor has made you real good at the deny it all even when proven guilty tactic. It’s probably that baby inside of you…polluting you with his DNA..”

I cut her off. That was enough…She could say anything about me but she needed to leave my son out of it. I stood up and my face contorted into a sneer.

“How dare you! How dare you say anything about my son! At least my baby will be normal…Can you say the same about yours?”

I saw her raise an eyebrow and it was my turn to smirk. My body was moving closer to her of it’s own accord. My voice was ice cold.

“That’s right Chloe I know about your Meteor freak status…You and Clark think I’m so naïve…that Lex doesn’t share thing’s with me…you’re wrong! So instead of attacking my son how about you worry about yours because for all you know he could come out with your eyes and a Meteor ability to go along with them…do you even know what’s wrong with you? What you are?”

I guess I was getting to close to her because Clark too a step forward and his voice was cold.

“That’s close enough…Lana.”

I looked up at him and as I looked in his eyes I couldn’t even recognize who he was. I felt a hand on the small of my back and I looked over into Lex’s face. I could tell he was furious. I moved into his body. He and Clark stared at each other for what felt like hours while Chloe and I stood by our respective men neither of us giving in. Chloe finally broke the silence and her voice was in no way friendly.

“If you really want to know what’s wrong with me…why don’t you ask your fiancé…he knows…I mean he kidnapped me and spent the night probing and prodding me…I bet he didn’t share the intimate details of that…did he?”

I glared at her.

“Lex wouldn’t do that….”

I grasped his hand and squeezed it.

“And you know what….to be quite honest with you if he did do that to Meteor freaks…so he could learn about them and their weaknesses…I wouldn’t care. To hell with every last one of them. If it comes down to my family or them…I choose us…my loyalties lie with Lex…and nobody else.”

I saw Clark’s brows move in together and his voice was low and hard.

“Then you’ve made your choice Lana…”

Chloe tried to cut him off and he shook his head and waved her off.

“No Chloe…Lana has made her choice she wants to stand by Lex and her family….”

He looked at Lex and his voice held amusement as he spoke.

“I wonder what’s going to happen Lex when Lana realizes that you’ve been lying to her all along…do you think she’ll take it well? I mean she’s obviously turning into a backstabber like you soo…”

It happened so quick that I wasn’t sure if I was seeing things or not. Lex jumped out and punched Clark right in the face. Clark’s head whipped around but there was nothing on his face when he brought it back around except for a grin.

“I was so hoping you would do that.”

He hit him back and Lex went flying. I went to run after him but Clark pushed me out of the way and I stumbled into a chair. Lois caught my arm so I wouldn’t fall and I gave her a look of appreciation. Everyone was clearing out of the room and the only people who were left were me, Lex, Clark, Chloe, Lois and Mrs. Kent. Everyone was trying to stop the fighting except Chloe. she just stood there laughing…cheering Clark on…I looked around the mess of the room and closed my eyes….I wish this was just all stop….I wish it would all go away…this isn’t how its supposed to be…

(Martha POV)

It’s obvious Clark wasn’t himself and I hadn’t the faintest idea what was wrong with Chloe…She would never in her right mind let Clark act like this…I needed to find a Meteor rock before Clark did something he was going to regret….I’m pretty sure I have one in the car….I keep it there so it’s in reach but away from Clark.

I ran to the car and searched around for a bit before finding it… When I got back inside Lois was trying to pull Clark off Lex and Lana was practically in tears. She looked at me and shook her head.

“What’s wrong with him? Why is he doing this…why is Chloe just standing there?”

I sighed I felt so bad for her…

“I don’t know Lana…Chloe…she seems to be on something she isn’t herself….you know how much she dislikes Lex but she’d never condone this kind of behavior from Clark….you know that.”

Suddenly Lana’s face lit up with recognition.

“It’s the lipstick.”

I was confused.

“What?”

She nodded and ran over to the table. She pulled a bottle out of her purse that looked a lot like liquid kryptonite.

“What is that?”

“Last night at the Talon some lady who was running an herb booth or something gave Lois lipstick that was infused with red Meteor rocks…it was like a love potion or something…it made Lois completely different…she was going on and on about Clark…look at Chloe’s lips Mrs. Kent…there red! All we have to do is spray this on her and she’ll go back to normal…”


I nodded. Red kryptonite…that definitely explained Clark’s behavior. We snuck up by Chloe and when Lana called her and she turned I sprayed the serum in her face. As soon as it hit her skin her face went blank and then she shook her head. She looked at us and her face was confused.

“What’s going on? How’d I get here?”

Lana looked relieved and I gave her a small smile. She heard the commotion behind her and turned. I saw horror register on her face and she moved closer to Lex and Clark. Lana and I followed close behind…Her voice was shrill.

“CLARK!”

He stopped and turned and Lex knocked him down. He stood up glared at him and picked him up by his neck and held him against the wall. It was time to use the kryptonite as much as I didn’t want to. I got closer and it started to glow in my hand…I saw Clark stumble and then fall to the ground.

Lana moved by Lex helped him up and he held her. I turned to say something and saw Chloe hit the floor clutching her stomach. I was confused. I spoke softly as I went by Chloe, which only seemed to make her writhing worse.

“Lex…Lana…I am so sorry about this I don’t know…Lana said Chloe was infected by some kind of red Meteor rock lipstick…her and Clark were probably kissing and it infected him too…I’m so sorry…If you can have someone help me hoist Clark in the car I’ll get them out of your hair.”

Lex didn’t look happy but he nodded. He had two people drag Clark to the car while I stood near by. I helped Chloe to the car but she kept pushing me away and trying to move as far from me as possible. Everyone got was in the car and I drove off…the two of them were pale and breathing heavy…Clark spoke..

“Mom…throw…out…Meteor….please…mom…”

I wanted to cry but I had to let it go a few more minutes. The only way to get rid of the red Meteor rock inside him was for him to sweat it out. Halfway home I through it out the window and both Clark and Chloe looked immediately better. If I didn’t know better I’d say Chloe just had the same reaction to Meteor rocks that Clark did…but that was impossible….Chloe wasn’t Kryptonian Meteor rocks didn’t make her sick.

We got home and Clark was well enough to help Chloe upstairs…I didn’t bother them now but we would be talking about this in the morning….sometimes having a son from another planet had it’s advantages and other times…it was just a handful…Clark is just lucky that I love him no matter what…

(Chloe POV)

I woke up and my head it. It felt like I went on a drinking binge yesterday, which I know didn’t happen because hello….pregnant. I moved and hit into Clark. He groaned and rolled over. I moved my hand over my face to scratch my nose. As I was moving it away I saw something shiny so I turned my hand. I shot up in bed and stared at my finger….No….that’s…not possible.. I yelled at Clark to wake him up.

“Clark Kent! Get up…NOW!”

He sat up and looked around frantically.

“What? What’s going on Chloe?”

I showed him my finger and he just sat there.

“It’s not my fault.”

I glared.

“Ok it is my fault but only indirectly.”

“Tell me we aren’t married…”

“Well…ummm…should I lie?”

I gave a scream of frustration.

“I’m sorry Chlo….I was dosed with red kryptonite…I couldn’t help myself.”

I shook my head.

“What is it with you and wanting to get married when you’re on Red K?”

He shrugged and gave a small smile.

“I dunno but I’m getting better at it…this one was legal.”

He grinned but I didn’t smile back….

“Ok…your not seeing the humor in this…I understand that. Chloe I’m sorry for infecting you…god…this just….sucks…please don’t be mad…”

I was about to say something when we heard Clark’s mom call us downstairs. We looked at each other and he flinched. She didn’t sound happy. We got dressed and went downstairs…when we got down their breakfast was waiting for us and after we ate she explained everything that happened to us.

I couldn’t stop shaking my head. This really wasn’t good. Nothing was ever gonna be the same after eveyrhting that was said last night. Mrs. Kent cleared the plates then sat in front of us quietly for a few minutes. Before speaking.

“I'm upset. But more than that, I'm disappointed in the two of you.”

Clark spoke right away trying to defend himself and me but it was no use.

”I was on red kryptonite, mom and Chloe was dosed with that lipstick..”

”That’s no excuse...My god, you two ran off and got married! Didn’t you learn your lesson last time Clark?”

“Mrs. Kent we really didn’t mean to do this…I don’t even remember it.”

She nodded sadly at me and looked at Clark.

“You of all people know Red kryptonite isn’t an excuse. It has never made you do thing’s you didn’t want to do…it just gets rid of your inhabitations…the two of you really have to start being honest with other people…that is part of the reason everything went to hell last night.”

Clark looked down.

“I’m sorry your mad mom but there are some things about yesterday…that I just can’t regret.”

Her voice was stern but not mean.

“That's not even the point Clark and you know it. Marriage is sacred. It's about two people who trust each other and are willing to go through life together, no matter how difficult it gets. I thought your father an I had taught you that.”

Clark looked back at her and frowned.

“Ok so maybe I hadn’t planned for things to happen like this mom but what makes you think I’m not serious about this? I love Chloe…she’s having this baby and I plan to be there every step of the way. I trust Chloe with everything I have and I’m ready to go through life with her…we've already been through hards times and i know we can get through more if we're together...if she wants me that is…”

He trailed off and I had tears in my eyes. I gave him a small smile but couldn’t speak at the moment because my voice was all choked up. I squeezed his hand under the table. His mom shook her head again.

“Clark…Chloe didn’t even have an honest choice in deciding to get married…Is that the way you want to start out your life together…either of you?”

She looked at me and sighed.

“You're an amazing young man, Clark. You make life and death decisions every day. But then you turn around and -- and you do this. I just don’t know what to say to the two of you….unfortunately though…this is not the most pressing matter at hand and so I’m going to leave it alone for the time being.”

I smiled at Clark and he grinned in my direction. Mrs. Kent looked back over at us and her expression was serious.

“Last night…when I took out the Meteor rock to stop you Clark…it had the same reaction on Chloe that it did on you.”

I frowned. I remembered that…I felt a sharp pain like I was getting sick and every time she came closer I could feel something eating away at me… Clark looked over at me worried and confused. His voice came out worried.

“How is that possible?”

She looked at us again.

“I don’t know but it’s something that the two of you need to work on finding out about…”

I nodded. Things were never normal with us but that was off the charts weird…and I was a little nervous…I felt Clark rubbing my hand to calm me and I leaned into him…Well who would have thought that on Valentines Days I’d be pregnant at twenty, with my ex boyfriends baby, feuding with the enemy while he’s engaged to my female best friend and married to my male best friend who is an alien from outer space…hmm…and I thought Smallville couldn’t get any weirder…Guess i was wrong huh...

[attitudejc]

OMG OMG is Clark's baby!!! I knew it!!! awsome updates!... I just can't believe they got married!... I loved how Clark defended his wife when Lex said she was a whore!... I loved the chages you made! great job!
I really can't wait for more! PPMS!

[Baily007]

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!

[Chlarkislove]

Yeah, I'm wondering if it's Clark's baby or if consummating the marriage somehow changed Chloe.

I loved it when he went "It's not my fault!"

Perfect Chloe reaction to being married without knowing. LOL

[QueenC]

Gabe's reaction to this should be interesting.

[freak24]

That was such a good update! I love how Clark reacted to Lex calling Chloe a whore. Perhaps Chloe's reaction to the kryptonite is something to do with the baby.... Can't wait for more!!!

[13ReporterGirl13]

I'm Glad You Liked the Update...In regards to Chole's reaction to the Meteor Rock...I guess you're just gonna have to wait and see...LoL The First Part to Chapter 10 will be Posted sometime tonight LoL Then I'm done Posting until Monday...I have a Project that needs my attention this weekend...
