Ok Guys...Here Goes the First Part to Chapter 10...Hopfully You Like it!


Chapter 10 Part A

(Lana POV)

I was sitting at the vanity in mine and Lex’s room brushing my hair. I haven’t spoken to Chloe or Clark in about two weeks. Clark came by and apologized to Lex but I didn’t want to see him. According to Lex Chloe sent her apologies as well…apparently Clark didn’t want Lex anywhere near her. The two of them are ridiculous with there accusations when it comes to Lex…

I don’t really understand what happened…Chloe and I used to be so close and now…it’s like I don’t even know her. Even through everything though...I could really use her right now i'm angry with her but i miss her too I felt a small flutter in my stomach and put my hand over it. I started to feel the baby moving about a week ago…It felt…indescribable…absolutely amazing.

I smiled and continued brushing my hair…I can’t believe Clark and Chloe are married…I mean I’m happy with Lex. I love him and we’re going to have a family, but I guess I just never thought that Clark would move on…let alone with Chloe…

My thoughts were cut short when my cell phone chimed. My brows drew together and I picked it up and opened it. There was a photo message for me but it wasn’t from a number I recognized. I opened it and gasped. It was a picture taken of me…right here now! I looked frantically around the room and then I opened the door and ran out straight into Lex. He saw the panic on my face and he frowned in concern.

“Lana, what's wrong?”

“There's someone in the room.”

Lex got his security team together and they sweeped through the room with their guns on the ready but found nothing.

I heard on of the men on the team speak.

“Clear.”

Then another as Lex stood by my side holding me tightly.

“It's all clear, sir.”

I glanced around the room and saw the window wide open…I didn’t leave that open.

“Lex, over there.”

I motioned to the open window and Lex went over to the window and searched outside of it but didn’t find anything.

He turned to the security team and his voice was hard and commanding.

“Check the roof and initiate a full perimeter sweep of the grounds.”

“Right. Yes, sir.”

And they left the room to do as Lex asked. I was slightly shivering and Lex rubbed my arms and turned me towards him.

“Lana... what did this guy look like?”

I shook my head. That’s when I remembered the picture message. I was debating whether or not I should show it to Lex…I didn’t want to worry him….but I didn’t want to lie either because I don’t want him lying to me…

“I don't know. I didn't see him, but...”

I pulled out my cell phone and handed it to Lex.

“Whoever was here they took this…and sent it to me…that’s how I know s…someone was here…”

His eyes grew cold and his jaw tensed. I sighed and my voice was quiet when I spoke.

“C-could you close the window?”

He snapped out of whatever he was thinking and when he looked at me his face softened.

“Yeah.”

As he closed and locked the window I sat down on the bed. He turned back around and knelt in front of me.

“How long ago was this message sent to you?”

I shrugged.

“Not long before I came outside and you came in here…maybe a minute or two.”

He nodded. His voice was comforting when he spoke.

“You didn't actually see or hear anyone thought right?”

I shook my head.

“No”

“I’m going to keep your phone for now if that ok…I want to send it to my people…see if they can trace the number that sent you this picture.”

I gave him a weak smile and nodded. I knew when things got tough I could always count on Lex. He has always been there for me. He must have seen the anxious look on my face because he rubbed my arm gently and spoke in a calm voice.

“Hey…where gonna find this person Lana…and when we do…I’m going to personally teach them what happens to someone who messes with the people I care about.”

I leaned my forehead against his and took a deep breath.

“I love you…”

He smiled.

“I love you too. I'm going to go downstairs, and get you some tea to calm your nerves.”

I smiled.

“Thank you.”

He nodded kissed my head and placed his hand on my stomach for a second before he left the room. I don’t care how Lex is with other people…because with me he’s a good man. Clark and Chloe needed to stop trying to convince me that Lex was some kind of monster…because I’d die before I’d ever betray him…

(Clark POV)

I walked into The Daily Planet and I saw Chloe at her desk typing away on the computer. I smiled. Things have been a little strained between us the last couple of weeks. Ever since we kind of got married…which by the way according to Chloe is my fault… we have kind of been stepping on each other’s toes trying to settle into the reality of actually being married. Chloe’s way of dealing with it is to ignore it and pretend it didn’t happen. Me I’ve been trying to integrate our lives together without changing the things we each love as individuals…but Chloe is always getting mad at me when I do that…

Then last night we finally sat down and had a little discussion about everything. We agreed that we’re going to try and make this marriage work…all the kinks are definitely not out of this relationship but we’re working on it and that’s the important part.

I walked over to her desk and stood there waiting for her to notice me. I glanced down and noticed the ring on her finger glittering while she typed. The ring was huge and I felt really bad about swiping it…but after returning everything else I took while we were on red K I just couldn’t bring myself to take the ring from Chloe. It looked right on her.

“Why are you staring at me Clark?”

I looked back up at her and she didn’t even take her eyes off the screen as she spoke to me. I smiled.

“I can’t admire my wife?”

She scrunched her nose and shook her head. Her hands stopped typing as she clicked print and she faced me.

“It’s so weird to hear you call me that…I mean you’re not just my boyfriend anymore…you’re my husband…”

I shrugged.

“You almost finished? We had lunch plans today didn’t we?”

She shook her head no and I saw sadness over take her face.

“What’s wrong Chlo?”

She pointed to the calendar on her desk. Today’s date had a blue circle on it with a smiley face. I raised an eyebrow. She sighed.

“Lana is five months pregnant today…we had plans to go baby shopping together for the boys. It’s unlucky to get things before the fifth month…in case anything…you know goes wrong. So we were all excited about today and we planned it months in advance and now…Lana and I aren’t even speaking to one another…it’s just…I miss her Clark…I miss our friendship…Lois is great but Lana knows what’s I’m going through…how I’m feeling…and she just…she chose Lex over us Clark!”

By the end of Chloe’s little speech she had tears coursing down her cheeks. I sat down and pulled her to me. I said what I hoped were comforting words in her ear as I rubbed her back. Chloe’s been kind of an emotional wreck lately. My mom said it’s normal for pregnant women to be emotional but I wasn’t so sure.

The other night Chloe kicked me out of my own bed because I made a comment about how round her stomach was getting. I didn’t mean it offensively. I think it's cute...really. We were laying in bed and I had her shirt up over her stomach and I was talking to our son…he was moving around a lot and I said it looked like she had a small basketball inside her skin…Is that so bad? Well she apparently thought so because I slept on the couch and not in my bed. A hard slap to the head knocked me out of my thoughts. I looked at Chloe confused and she looked pissed. Crap…

“Clark Kent do you even listen to me when I talk to you?”

“Huh…”

I didn’t have a chance to finish because she cut me off.

“Of course not. I’m sitting here crying my eyes out because I miss my best friend and you’re sitting there ignoring me. Go home I don’t want to have lunch with you.”

If I was still alive by the time Chloe gave birth I actually might be a little surprised…with the way things were going I was afraid during one of her “emotional” times she was going to take a piece of kryptonite and beat me with it… All though that might be harder now that it effects her too. We still haven’t figured out why that is…not for a lack of trying though. I shook my head.

“Chloe I’m sorry I know how upset you are about Lana…why don’t you call her…see if maybe you guys can work things out. It can’t hurt to try right?”

She shrugged.

“I guess not but what would I say…By the way sorry I crashed your rehearsal dinner and announced your pregnancy to a room full of strangers…wanna go shopping for baby clothes?”

I grinned. If she was making jokes it couldn’t be that bad. Besides I went and apologized to Lex…even though I would rather have impaled myself with kryptonite…We all do things we don’t wanna do…

“That could be a start. Besides if I went and apologized to Lex you can apologize to Lana.”

“Yes but the difference is Clark you aren’t trying to be Lex’s friend…that ship has sailed. I still want Lana in my life…We still need to convince her Lex is the devil…I can only imagine what would happen if her son grew up with him. It would be like Dr. Evil and Mini Me…without the cuteness.”

I chuckled. I would say she’s highly caffinated but she’s only had one cup…

“Well what’s the verdict? You going to call Lana…or are you letting me take you to lunch?”

She smiled at me.

“I think I’m gonna try to call Lana…you don’t mind do you?”

I shook my head.

“Not at all.”

She tilted her head to the side.

“I’m sorry you had to come all the way here…I appreciate it though.”

I smiled and leaned over to kiss her.

“It’s fine Chloe…it only took me a couple of seconds to get here. You do your thing and I’ll see you at home.”

I stood up and was about to walk away when Chloe pulled on my arm. I turned and she leaned up and kissed me. Her voice was soft and intimate when she spoke.

“I love you.”

“Love you too.”

And I took off. I went back to the farm and ran into Lois. She was in the kitchen helping herself to a glass of juice. I glanced in her direction and continued to the closet in the hallway as I spoke.

“Chloe isn’t here Lois…go home.”

I could here her snort from where I was pulling out a large box covered by a blanket. I brought it into the living room and Lois followed me.

“Please…not every time I come here is about seeing my wayward cousin. I was looking for your mom.”

I sat on the floor and pulled the blanket off the box. I was concentrating on getting it out while I spoke to Lois.

“She’s in Metropolis with Lionel…some kind of charity thing…I think she’ll be…”

Lois’s voice cut into my sentence. Her voice was soft.

“Is that…is that a crib?”

I looked up at her and the expression on her face was a mixture of surprise and awe. I smiled.

“Yeah…well kinda. It’s a bassinet or a rocker…what do you think? I mean it’s not finished yet I still have to add a few things here and sand it down…but this is pretty much how it’s gonna look. Lois…earth to Lois…”

Her head snapped from the crib to me.

“You made this?”

I nodded.

“Smallville…that’s really…you know…you’re not so bad of a guy and I think Chloe will really like it.”

My smile widened. I just got a compliment from Lois…I should buy a lottery ticket today! Just...think I’d win millions…

“Thanks Lois…listen I’m actually kind of glad you’re here.”

She raised and eyebrow at me and was about to say something but I spoke before she could.

“I need to talk to you about something.”

I wiped my hands on my jeans and stood up. I was pacing around the room and finally Lois got tired of it.

“Smallville you’re gonna burn a hole in the floor. Whatever it is it can’t be as bad as you running off and eloping with my baby cousin…”

I glared at her for a second before sitting across from her. I wasn’t really one to put my feelings out there…I was a private guy…and I definitely didn’t get all sentimental in front of Lois…but there was something I needed help with and in order to get it I had to such it up and ask Lois.

“I know that um…Ok listen…I know that you and I don’t really do the emotional stuff and that’s…good cause it would be kinda weird. That being said I need a favor. Now that Chloe and I are married…”

She glared at me but I ignored it.

“And she’s going to be having the baby in a few months…I figured that maybe you could help me redo my room. The farm isn’t small but it’s not equip for more people either. I spoke to my mom and she told me I could combine my room and the spare room since there right next to each other.”

She didn’t say anything but she nodded so I knew she was at least listening. I continued.

“ I was thinking I could connect the rooms that way we could be close to the baby…I like to think I know Chloe better than anyone…but when it comes to decorating and what Chloe likes in that department…I’m lost. But you’ve lived with her and you know what she likes. I’d really appreciate the help Lois…So…what do you think?”

Lois gave me an appraising look before rolling her eyes and standing up.

“Like you even had to ask Smallville jeez…you make it seem like I’m the big bad wolf…of course I’ll help it’s for Chloe and my nephew.”

She looked at her watch and sighed.

“I have to go I have a deadline and I’m not nearly done with my article. I’ve wasted too much of my time on you already. Tell you’re mom I stopped by.”

And with that she left. I shook my head. She’s ridiculous…


(Chloe POV)

I called Lana and wound up leaving a message because no one answered. I shook my head. I really hoped Lana and I could work this out. I hate the way she’s been acting lately and things have been tense with us lately but I didn’t hate her. I looked at the clock and it was getting late.

I sighed I haven’t eaten lunch yet because Lana never answered and I was getting hungry. I’ll just go out and grab something myself…no big deal. I got up grabbed my purse and headed out the door banging straight into Lana. I looked up startled and she moved from foot to foot. We both stood there for a couple of minutes and when I finally couldn’t take it anymore I broke he silence.

“Lana…listen I know I already said this on your voicemail but I’m really sorry about ruining your dinner…I never meant for any of that stuff to happen.”

I shook my head.

“And I’m so sorry about telling everyone about the baby.”

She nodded and gave me a hesitant smile.

“The lipstick sure caused a lot of grief huh?”

I nodded and smiled back.

“It defiantly did.”

She was quiet and then her voice was careful when she spoke next.

“And Clark…it sure seemed to give him an unusual amount of strength…I don’t remember you or Lois being any stronger…it must affect males differently.”

I could tell she didn’t believe what she was saying by the way she spoke. I wasn’t going to correct her though I just smiled and nodded.

“I was actually just on my way to lunch…do you feel like…maybe coming along?”

She shrugged.

“I could eat…and it’ll give us time to talk…maybe work things out? I miss having you around Chloe…you’re the only other person going though what I’m going through…plus you’re my maid of honor and the wedding is in two weeks…”

I forced a laugh for her sake. Yeah Lana would be worried about her wedding to Lex…unfortunately it wasn’t the kind of worried she should be. We left The Daily Planet and went to lunch. While we were there we both acknowledged that we said some awful things and they couldn’t be taken back…but we could work through them and maybe our friendship would be stronger because of it.

I told her about what the doctor said at my last appointment and then Lana started telling me about the new happenings in her life. Apparently Lana has a new stalker in her life and Lex had his whole team of security on the case trying to figure out who this guy was…but with no luck as of yet. I sipped my juice as Lana told me what was going on.

“Lex was hoping to find out right away who it was because he needs to go away on business for a couple of days and he didn’t want to leave me alone while all this was going on…”

I nodded.

“Well of course not. When is he leaving?”

She sighed.

“Tonight.”

Hmmm. With everything going on we can’t just leave Lana and the baby to fend for herself.

“Why don’t you come stay at the farm with Clark and I while Lex is gone…I know it might be a little awkward but I’d never forgive myself if anything happened to you…what do you say?”

She looked like she was thinking about it and then I saw a smile appeared on her face.

“That’d be great Chloe…thanks. When I get back home I’ll tell Lex and I’m sure he’ll feel a lot better about going on his trip. Speaking of that I should probably get back to the mansion…I have some stuff to do and I want to spend some time with Lex before he goes.”

She started getting her stuff together and I was confused. That was weird…it was almost like she was waiting for me to invite her back to the farm…but why would she want me to do that when she and Clark aren’t really speaking right now. She smiled at me and I gave her a small smile back.

“I’m really glad we worked things out Chloe…I missed you…what time do you want me to come by tonight?”

Crap I had to talk to Clark about this…

“Umm I guess whenever Lex leaves just come by.”

She nodded and said bye and left. My head was spinning something was just not right with this and I’d figure it out eventually but right now I needed to get back to The Planet and hand in my article so I could go home and talk to Clark. I’d owe him big after this one…

(Lex POV)

Lana just told me she’d was going to be staying at the farm tonight…I can’t say I’m happy about it I don’t want Clark and Chloe polluting her mind against me…but she’d be safe and in the long run that’s all that mattered. Plus I’m sending half he security team with her so she’ll be fine… I looked at the clock and it was just about time for me to call Dr. Rhinehouse and give him the ok our first test. It was supposed to happen when Chloe left the engagement party but things didn’t exactly go as planned. I picked up my phone and dialed his number.

“Hello?”

“Hello doctor.”

“Mr. Luthor…everything is all set up I just need you to tell me when to put everything in motion.”

I grinned.

“Do it now.”

And I hung up. If all of these tests panned out I was going to become an icon in this world…Chloe doesn’t even realize the powers she carried inside her…and hopefully she never would…not until I learn how to harness it of course…my other favorite patient was helping me with that…well maybe helping was to strong of a word…but either way I was on my way to getting all the answers that I needed…things are about to get very interesting…

(Clark POV)

I had just finished up the crib as my mom walked through the door. She looked over and smiled at me.

“Clark…it’s absolutely gorgeous. I’m sure Chloe’s going to love it.”

I smiled and picked it up to put it back in the closet.

“I hope so. I talked to Lois today she said she’d help.”

“That’s good. When is Chloe coming home do you know?”

I shrugged.

“Soon I think though…last time I talked to her she said she was gonna be home early because she had something to tell me.”

“Alright well i'm gonna head upstairs and change…I’ll make dinner when I come back down.”

“Thanks mom”

She nodded and went upstairs. I started putting away all the tools I was using and cleaning up for my mom. I heard a car coming down the road so I went over to the door and saw Chloe’s Yaris turning into the farm. As she pulled up I was standing on the porch smiling and she saw me and waved from inside the car. She shut the car off and I saw her getting her stuff together…As soon as she opened her car door I heard a loud bang and it knocked me back a few feet.

I landed right on my back. I shook my head and looked up and my whole body went slack. About twenty-five feet in front of me was Chloe’s Yaris in a mountain of flames. I picked myself up and as I was super speeding over to the car there was a second explosion and flames came off the car in waves the whole thing was burning to the ground.

As I got closer I saw parts of Chloe’s shirt singed on the ground. I could hear myself frantically screaming and my mom came running out yelling my name right as I ran into the roaring fire and disappeared in it…I didn’t care who saw…the only thing that mattered was Chloe….she was standing here right when the car blew up…I saw her body engulfed by flames….I heard her scream…I’d get to her and the baby…it can’t be too late…it just can’t…
