[Angellegna]

Woooowwww!! Sorry I missed a couple updates, but they're all awesome!!

[SnarkyGirl91]

I hate that they are fighting but I am glad that they are getting these issues out of the way early on. I think you are doing an amazing job. CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE.

I wonder if Lana closed the door like in the show. And if she did what will Clark and Chloe's reaction be? I can't wait for the conversation and see what happens. I'm glad Clark is going to the wedding with Chloe and they are making more of a progress. I thought it was sweet when she said "He misses his Daddy." Because basically that's what Clark is and will be and I'm glad Chloe's finally seeing that.

[GabbieW]

I can't believe I missed three updates! they're so good! And I'm glad that Clark and Chloe are working on their issues and that Clark is going with her to the wedding, I knew that he wasn't gonna let her alone in this moments, he loves her but we do know he's a BDA so...! I loved Chloe telling Clark that the baby misses his daddy and well Clark feels like he is... so that's sweet!
I feel like now we'll have Chlark versus Lexana full force right? bc if it is I can't wait for it!! PPMS!!! I love this version!

Thanks so much for your Feedback!!! I'm Glad you're Liking it so much! I'm sorry to Say that in my Version Lana did NOT close the door because the way im writing Lana if she had seen she would have told Lex...and we can't have that at the moment LoL...

Clark and Chloe are working on there issues yes and they will be ok for a few chapters...But they haven't even hit the biggest roadblock yet...Look for my version of
Prototype and that's when there relationship will really be tested...it will lead straight into my own Season Finale which is titled Birth...LoL

Also there will be a Lex/Chloe and Clark/Lana...."Face off" sort of LoL probobly in Chapter 13...So yea again Thanks for the Great feedback and i'll be posting the last part to this chapter today!

Chapter 11 Part B

(Lana POV)

1:30pm

I was sitting in the study relaxing and writing in the baby journal that Lex had bought for me when I first found out I was pregnant. I glanced up and was startled to see Clark standing there. I can’t possibly imagine what he’s doing here…he didn’t even knock…Lex and I were going to have to put in better security when we came back from our honeymoon.

“Clark.”

He gave me a small smile that didn’t reach his eyes. His hands were in his pockets and he seemed nervous.

“How are you Lana?”

I closed the book and looked at him closely.

“I’m well…and yourself?”

He shrugged.

“I’ve had better day’s but then again I guess we all have…”

His voice faded out and he just stood there looking around. I wasn’t sure what to say to him because I didn’t know what he wanted. After a couple of minutes of silence he sighed and looked at me. His face was determined and his voice when he finally spoke was stern.

“I cannot let you go through with this... not until you know everything.”

I see what this was about now…it was another attempt to get me to back out of marrying Lex…I swear he is ridiculous. If I didn’t know he was with Chloe I’d think he was jealous. I am really getting sick of all of this and it’s time I finally put it to an end.

I stood up and waved him off stopping his voice before he started.

“First off Clark…this is not your home so I would appreciate it if you didn’t barge in like you owned the place…we have doors for a reason…knock…it takes two seconds but goes a long way.”

He looked shocked by my tone and I continued as I got closer to him. I spoke slowly and deliberately.

“I don’t need you to save me from Lex Clark…I’m a big girl. And for your information…Lex already has told me everything.”

He looked at me disbelieving.

“He’s lying to you Lana…there’s so much he hasn’t told you…About 33.1 about the Meteor Mutants…and his experiments…about kidnapping Chloe..”

His voice trailed off in desperation. I shook my head and my eyes grew cold.

“You’re wrong…He did tell me about it…all of it…”

Clark’s expression turned to one of realization and he stumbled back a bit. I nodded.

“That’s right Clark…Lex came clean…are you shocked? Are you shocked that he actually told innocent naïve Lana what he was really doing with 33.1 and everything else?”

I shook my head.

“Unlike you Clark…some people can be honest in a relationship…Lex gives me something that you never did…He gives me his trust…Even though he was afraid that his secret would make me see him differently he still told me…He gave me the option of deciding for myself…an option you never gave me…So go ahead…tell me I’m jumping into this marriage blind…”

He stood there and he was stunned.

“How could you do this?”

His expression held betrayal.

I never thought I’d see that look on Clarks face…at least not directed at me. I took a deep breath and quietly composed myself…this was it…I’m breaking the pattern right now and I don’t think that anything has ever hurt me this much before…but I made a decision and I planned to stick by it…to stick by my family…and that wasn’t Clark…or….Chloe anymore.

“I haven’t done anything Clark…I don’t know what you’re talking about. Now if you don’t mind I have things to attend to today…I’m getting married in a few hours.”

I walked over to Lex’s desk and Clark followed me, grabbed my arm and spun me around to face him. There was anger written all over his face and I could see his hands closed into fists so tight his knuckles were white.

“What do you mean you haven’t done anything? You know about what he did to Chloe…and you’re still with him? What the hell happened to you Lana? What happened to the girl I fell in love with? The one who was always there for her friends…who never let anyone else dictate her choices…”

I pushed his arm off me and gave him a cold glare. My voice was like ice and by the look on his face it cut through him deeply.

“She loved you…and you broke her”

He moved back as if I had slapped him.

“Get the hell out of my home Clark…and don’t come back…if you do I’ll have security escort you out.”

He gave me one last look. Hurt, pain, and disappointment was written on his face as he shook his head and started to walk out. When he got to the door he paused and his voice was quiet but I heard it anyway.

“Goodbye Lana…”

And he was gone. I clutched my stomach and sat down heavily onto Lex’s chair. I felt tears building in the back of my eyes and I tried to blink them away. It was better this way…with everything that’s going to be happening…distancing myself from them was better than trying to live a lie and pretending to be there friends while I go behind their back…

I glanced at the clock it was 2:30pm. I shook my head and stood up slowly. I have a wedding to get ready for. I left the room and went into Lex’s room and mine to shower. I stripped down and as soon as I felt the hot water beating down on me I let the tears come…I cried for the friends I willingly gave up, for the son who’d never get to know the amazing people I grew up with, and for the girl I used to be that I somehow lost along the way….

(Clark POV)

2:45pm

I walked out of the mansion….and super sped back to the farm. I stopped outside in front of the barn and stood there. I was supposed to be ready to pick Chloe up in thirty-five minutes and I could barely stand up straight. I sped into the loft and sat on the couch with my head in my hands. I felt a sharp pain shooting through my chest…and for a minute I though I was having some kind of heart attack.

Until I realized how stupid that thought was…I don’t get sick…I can’t have a heart attack. I took a deep breath. How could she say those things to me? How could she turn her back on Chloe…on me? I got up and slammed my fist through the wall and wood shattered everywhere. It looked like the wood splintered and exploded.

“DAMMIT!!”

We knew this was going to happen…but knowing it and seeing it are two different things…I just…I can’t believe how cold she was. It was like looking at an extension of Lex…I’ve been saying all along that Lana has already made her choice but obviously I hadn’t believed what I was saying because if I did this wouldn’t be such a shock.

I was going to have to tell Chloe…I was going to have to be the one to break her heart again…to tell her the girl that she has considered a sister for the past few years…knew all about what happened her and has been working with Lex for god knows how long…

I shook my head and tried to calm my self…I had to tell Chloe but I wasn’t going to do it until after the wedding…Today’s the day I said I’d come clean with her…that includes telling her about Lana….

(Chloe POV)

3:15pm

There was a knock on the door and I called out from the bathroom.

“It’s open…come in Clark.”

I heard the door open and close. I came out of the bathroom and he had a strange look on his face but when he saw me he smiled. It didn’t reach his eyes.

“You look beautiful Chloe.”

I grinned.

“Thanks. You don’t look to bad yourself.”

I came over and kissed him. He kissed me back but not as thoroughly as he usually did. I moved away from him and looked into his face.

“What’s wrong Clark?”

He looked at me and I could see the pain in his eyes.

“We’ll talk about it later when we get back from the wedding.”

I frowned.

“But Clark...”

He shook his head and his voice was firm but soft.

“No. Chloe for once…just please…I promise to tell you everything when we come back here tonight…but for now…let’s just try to enjoy tonight as much as we can…ok?”

His voice was scratchy and his body seemed tired. I took in a deep breath. His conversation with Lana must not have gone the way he expected it to… I nodded and rubbed his arm. I got my jacket, which Clark helped me get into…quite the gentleman I have… and we started to walk out when he stopped me. I turned and faced him and I could see he was struggling with something.

“Chloe…I love you…so much…and I know I don’t say that nearly enough…so I just…I needed you to know that. And even though we’ve been fighting lately…you and…our son…are the most important people to me…and I’m here for you…”

I looked at him closely and stood there for a couple of minutes. He was making me nervous…what in the world could have possibly happened with Lana that would make Clark this unhinged…I swallowed heavily…well he obviously needed to get that out so I smiled as best I could and grabbed his hand.

“I love you to Clark…more than you know…and I’m here for you also…whenever you need to talk…which will be tonight…just so you know…”

I saw a smile form on his face. Bingo! That’s what I was going for. We went downstairs and he helped me into his truck. He got in and we left for what The Planet was calling…The Wedding Of The Centaury.

(Lex POV)

3:55pm

Crap! I’m getting married in about an hour and I left Lana’s wedding present at the mansion… I shook my head. I don’t know where I was today…I walked into the study and found Lana sitting in her white silk robe by the fire place…What is she doing here? She should already be at the church. My voice was hesitant when I spoke…oh god…she’s not changing her mind is she? I don’t know what I’d do if she left now…

“Lana…?”

Her body shifted and she turned to me. She looked sad but when her eyes landed on me I saw her face brighten up and some of the worry I had vanished.

“What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at the church with Nell getting ready?”

She stood up and walked over to me with a hand over her protruding stomach.

“Sorry…I’m running a little behind. I wasn’t feeling well a little while ago so I decided to shower and then just a few minutes before you came in I was coming in here to get something and I had the worst wave of nausea hit me and I needed to sit down.”

I frowned and moved over so I could brush my hand against her arm.

“Are you alright now? Do you need anything?”

She smiled.

“I’m ok now…I think it was just one of those passing things…but actually I missed the Limo…so if you could give me a lift to the Church that’d be great…I didn’t even need to change because I dress is already there.”

I grinned.

“Of course Lana…I just need to grab something real quick.”

She gave me an appraising look and then her face flashed panic.

“Why are you here? You’re not….back out are you because Lex….I swear if you leave me at this alter I’ll hunt you down and you’ll wish you’d never met me…”

Her voice was only half serious and I gave a hearty laugh.

“Of course not…what would make you think a crazy thing like that Lana? I ran out of here so quickly this morning that I forgot your wedding present...”

I reached into a draw, pulled out the small box and showed her. Her face seemed to relax and she nodded.

“Oh…well I have yours so let’s get this show on the road.”

I smiled. I lead her out to my car helped her get in and we sped off to the church. Ok maybe I didn’t exactly speed…but give me a brake my soon to be wife was 25 weeks pregnant…and when I’m in my cars I seem to be accident prone…so it’s better to be safe than sorry… I glanced at her and she saw me out of the corner of her eye. She smiled and squeezed my hand…this was it…today was going to be the happiest day of my life…

(Lana POV)

4:55pm

I could hear the processional music start to play and I readied myself at the front doors of the church. I took a deep breath. This is it…when I walk down this isle to Lex…there is no going back and I’ve made my peace with that. I spent the whole day going back and forth with my emotions…but not anymore I’m about to become a Luthor…and Luthor’s don’t waver in there choices…neither will I.

I held my head high and smiled at Lex from where I stood. I saw a grin break out on his face. Chloe was standing to his left and she looked a bit pale. She doesn’t want me to marry Lex and yet she’s standing here for my benefit…I’m sorry that I couldn’t be as good as a friend to her as she is to me…because tonight before we left for our honeymoon…Lex would put the final step of his plan into action…and I’d be by his side helping him do it…

I slowly made my way down the aisle and heads turned. I saw Clark sitting in on of the front rows as close to Chloe as he could get…Pathetic…no worries he wouldn’t be able to save her…not this time… I made it to the down the aisle and stood in front of the priest facing Lex as he began to speak addressing Lex first.

“Do you, Alexander Luthor, take Lana Lang to be your wife in the holy state of matrimony? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor, and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, and forsaking all others, as long as you both shall live?”

He looked at me and I could see the love shinning on his face…I felt cherished. He didn’t hesitate or waver just looked me right in the eyes and spoke deeply and emotionally.

“I do.”

I smiled and he reached over and put the band on my finger. I could feel the cold metal touch my skin and the band felt weighted when it was finally on my finger…like I could feel the weight of my decision…and I smiled…I can handle the consequences as long as Lex is by my side… The priest then addressed me.

“And do you, Lana Lang, take Alexander Luthor to be your husband in the holy state of matrimony? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honor, and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, and forsaking all others, as long as you both shall live?”

I glanced out into the audience and my face fell on Clark’s…there was a glimmer there when he saw me look at him…a glimmer of hope that I wouldn’t go through with this… I gave him an icy look, turned to Lex and grinned.

“I absolutely do”

Lex sighed heavily in what sounded like relief as I slid the band onto his finger. And just like that out of the corner of my eye…I saw Clarks face close up…and the glimmer died out… The priest spoke again present us to the people in the church.

“May I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Luthor?”

As we walked down the aisle everyone was applauding except for two people…I walked down the aisle in Lex’s arms. I’ve never seen him this happy and I grinned…I made the right choice…I’m Mrs. Lana Luthor…and I couldn’t be happier…


(Lex POV)

5:55pm

We walked into the room Lana used to get ready and as soon as the door was shut I grabbed her and kissed her. She giggled and shook her head.

“Hold on their Casanova…we have guest here…let’s save it for the honeymoon.”

I laughed.

“I never thought it was possible to be this happy. How did I ever turn out to be the man who gets to spend the rest of his life with you?”

She grinned.

“You loved me…and were honest with me…”

My smile broadened. I’m glad I came clean with her…things with us would be better for it…

She stood up and looked around.

“I left my things outside let me go get them and we can go.”

She leaned up and kissed me.

“Okay. Mrs. Luthor.”

She grinned.

“Ohhh I like the sound of that!”

She laughed and kissed me again before she left the room as my father was coming in. he stopped her in the doorway and leaned over to kiss her cheek.

“Mrs. Luthor…”

He paused and then continued.

“Welcome to the family..”

She smiled.

“Thank you Mr. Luthor.”

He waved off her formality and I shook my head.

“You’re married to Lex now my dear…there is no cause for formalities…Lionel will be fine.”

She nodded and patted his arm before walking out to grab her things. My dad walked further into the room and spoke.

“Congratulations, son.”

I raised an eyebrow but there was still a smile on my face.

“Thanks, Dad. And why do I get the feeling that's not all you came to say?”

He chuckled.

“Good to see the euphoria of your wedding day hasn't tempered your cynicism.”

I shrugged. Nothing ever would…its called caution…

“I guess old habits die hard.”

I saw his facial expression change and he looked at me with pity.

“She's made a desperate man of you, Lex.”

I looked at him and couldn’t quite decipher his meaning. He was up to something I just didn’t know what. I shook my head

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

He scowled at me.

“Don’t play the fool to me Lex...I wonder what would happen if your beautiful new bride new the truth about her pregnancy…”

My eyes went wide. How the hell does he know about that. He smirked and he nodded his head.

“Yes Lex….I know about you pumping Lana full of fertility drugs…about the lengths you went to in order for her to get pregnant…”

This was getting increasingly bad and I moved away from him….that is one secret I don’t think Lana would take well…she’d see it as a betray and I wasn’t willing to lose her now…

“Okay. You win. Whatever you want, it's yours -- control of Luthorcorp, 33.1...”

He waved his hand.

“You don't have to worry, Lex. You'll know when it's time for me to collect.”

The door opened again and Lana walked in with a smile on her face. She noticed the tension in the room and frowned.

“Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.”

My dad smiled and shook his head.

“Not at all I was just leaving…you two have a wonderful honeymoon… I’ll see you when you get back and we’ll discuss this business further.”

He walked out and Lana came over to me.

“Everything alright?”

I smiled.

“Perfect now that you’re here.”

She grinned and I held her tight…I’d find a way to fix this…my father was not going to get control of 33.1…I wouldn’t let him…

(Chloe POV)

6:15pm

As the ceremony came to an end I was standing with Clark and he had his arm around me for support. Lana and Lex appeared at the front door of the church and we were all gathered outside around them. I saw everyone shaking his hand giving her kisses on the cheek and congratulating them one last time before they left for there honeymoon.

Clark and I stood towards the side...glancing at them. As they walked down the steps both Lana and Lex caught our eyes…Lex’s eyes bored into Clark’s there was a knowing smirk on his face and his eyes were cold…Lana glanced at us next and the four of us were locked in a long stare.

I could see disgust in Lana’s eyes as she glared at Clark, moved closer to Lex and held onto him tighter. She had made her decision and she was letting us know it…loud and clear… When she glanced over at me her eyes grew blank and then I saw the tiniest spark of regret before she glanced away. When Lex turned from Clark to me his look sent shivers up my spine…His eyes were dark and lightly amused and the grin he sent my way was the look of a predator…

They got into the limo and as they pulled away Lana glanced back at us one last time before turning and snuggling up to Lex in the limo…Clark shook his head . He placed his hand on the small of my back and led me to the car. It was quiet on the ride home and he stroked my hand the whole way trying to send comfort my way…it wasn’t working…and I hated that he was so upset because he couldn’t make this better for me… I grabbed his hand tight and he lifted mine to his mouth and kissed it before turning his attention back to the rode.

I couldn’t begin to explain how much I was hurting inside right now…I didn’t want to have to go up against Lana…not because I was scared of her but because…she was like family…but now…now she has a new family that I’m no longer a part of…Lex was always trying to get to Clark…and now that Lana was officially a Luthor her and I would really be at odds. I wouldn’t let Lex hurt Clark…I’d do anything to protect him and my family

…and I suspect that Lana would do the same to protect Lex and her new family…I didn’t know what Lex was planning…but according to Oliver Lex was building an army…the war was starting… and the four of us were stuck dead in the center of it…And I just hopped for all our sakes that we all made it out of this alive…

[freak24]

Dum-dum-dum! There's the end of another excellent update. Lana is getting sooo evil, I guess she really does deserve the Luthor name. I liked how you wrote the Chlark/Lexana bit at the end there, and Chloe's thoughts too. I'm looking forward to the next update!!!!

[star999]

I really love how you've made Lan a true Luthor and sticking to it! Years or watching SV make me afraid that she'll magically redeem herself at any minute - but everyone loves a darker Lana (including Kristin herself) and I'm glad we're getting Chlark vs. Lexana!

[13ReporterGirl13]

Star999 and Freak24---

Thanks so Much Guys! I'm Glad you Like the Chapter!

Star999---

Years or watching SV make me afraid that she'll magically redeem herself at any minute - but everyone loves a darker Lana (including Kristin herself)

I Completely Agree with You...but I have to tell you I Always thought that Lana should have stuck by Lex....Yes he's Evil and not the Greatest person in the World....but He really does Love her...or at least that's what I've gotten out of all the Seasons of Smallville...LoL The way she would have left him in Hydro if Clark wanted her back....I Thought that was Cold LoL....So in my Fic..,She will not b redeeming herself....Sorry guys LoL

Thanks again for the Posts!

luv that endin scene wit chlark look at lexana walkin off,that stare down was drawin the battle lines.Chloe was right now its 2 the point where the girls have to stand by their man no matter if they face off themselves,cause clark/lex have a battle goin on.

I'm glad ur not plannin to make lana good again,cause now that she knows what lex is plannin on doin to chloe then she's jus as guilty.And I wonder what lex last plan is for chlark,and also to see how clark acts in ur version of combat since clark was in a fightin mood lol.

Also the chlark convo about what happen wit clana talk should be interestin but I think chloe sort of knows jus not all exactly.Nice update cant wait for more

[Chlarkfan_phantom]

I can't wait to read the conversation between Chloe and Clark now. Hopefully Chloe will be able to see once and for all what a back-stabbing b*tch Lana is....keep up the great fic!!

[TomsLove101]

Wonderful! PPMS!
