It was monday morning, the sun streamed in through the window,
illuminating the two lovers lying together in a tangle of limbs and
sheets.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

Went Clark's alarm clock telling them it was time to get up and get
ready for school. Across the hall Lana's alarms clock sounded as
well. Lana groaned and rolled over to turn off the insistent beep.
Then she rolled back to her boyfriend and nudged him. "Clark. Time to
get up." When he didn't wake up she leaned over him and kissed him.

Gradually Clark came back to consciousness, and greeted with the
lovely feel of Lana's lips against his. He started to kiss her back,
but she pulled away too soon for it to go anywhere. "It wasn't a
dream." he said half to himself.

Lana smiled radiantly at him. "Nope. It sure seemed like one,
though." she reached over the side of the bed and pulled on her
shirt. "Last night was amazing, Clark." she told him.

"Yeah. It was." he agreed. They kissed again.

When he started to get gropey she pulled away. "No way, you horny
devil. We have to get to school." she said, patting him on the
stomach before getting out of bed. She felt slightly sore from the
wonderful night she shared with Clark, it was all worth it.

Clark watched her get dressed and slip out of his room, blowing him a
kiss on her way out. He lost himself in his memories of last night,
but was jolted out of them when Martha popped her head into his
room. "Clark, time to get ready for school. You don't want to miss
the bus." she said then left him to his privacy.

He sighed heavily and got up and looked out the window. He watched
his mom leave for work and his dad go out into the field. Then he
heard the shower start. He grinned mischieviously.

~*~*~*~*~

Lana set the clothes she was gonna wear that day on the bathroom
counter and started up the shower. She stripped and stepped under the
nice warm water. She just stood under the spray, lost in thought. She
just had sex last night. It had been wonderful. She smiled to herself
and picked up the soap.

She didn't hear Clark sneak in and step into the shower behind her.
She didn't even notice him until he wrapped his arms around her waist
and kissed her neck. "Good morning." he said, taking the soap from
her and lathering his hands.

Lana still felt sore and she was scared that he wanted to make love
again. But he just lathered his hands and began to wash her. "Very
good morning." she answered, happily letting his soapy hands wash
sleep from her body. She swore that he had magickal hands. They could
save her, they could pleasure her, and they could turn her to mush.

After he had washed her completely, he started on her hair. She
turned to him and let his wash and rinse her long, raven color hair
with his careful hands. His hands could be so many things. When he
was done she returned the favor, He had to lift her up a bit so she
could wash his hair, which she was perfectly fine with.

That done, Clark turned off the water and grabbed two towels. They
both could definitely get used to this every morning.

~*~*~*~*~

Clark waited downstairs as Lana finished doing her make up. He was
making eggs for breakfast and toasted some bread with his eyes. When
she came down the stairs he caught sight of her, all dressed and
ready for school, he couldn't take his eyes off her. "You look
beautiful." he complimented her.

She smiled. "You don't look too bad yourself." she returned the
compliment. "What's for breakfast, chef?" she asked lightheartedly.
She felt so giddy and there was a certain glow about her, sitting at
the small wooden table.

"My famous eggs and toast, which smell incredible if I do say so
myself." he said, putting a plate of eggs and two pieces of toast on
the table in frongt of her.

"Thank you. I'm starving." she said, picking up the fork beside her
plate and began eating. Clark joined her with his plate of
food. "Very good eggs, Clark." she told him.

"Thanks." he replied.

After breakfast her and Clark walked hand in hand down to the bus
stop. They chatted easily about nothing really. There was a new
closeness between them and they both felt it. It was like they were
connected in some way. They waited at the bus stop together, Clark
holding her from behind. "I spy with my little eye something that is
blue." she said. They had been playing this game the whole time they
had been waiting.

"Um. The sky?" he asked, he only said it to make her giggle.

And she did giggle. "nope." she answered. "three more guesses."

"And then what?" he asked playfully.

"Then you have to kiss me." she replied, looking over her shoulder at
him.

"oh no." he said in mock hopelessness. "I guess I better try harder.
Is it a polar bear?" he asked, joking around.

She shook her head. "Nope, close though." she teased.

"It's a blue polar bear." he said with joking confidence. He knew
what she was looking at, it was a blue bird, but he wanted to kiss
her.

"Nope. Getting warmer." she told him, not minding that he wasn't
playing the game right.

"I know. It's a blue african polar bear." he said, completely making
up a new species of bear just for the fun of it.

Lana turned in his arms. "No more guesses left. I guess you're gonna
have to kiss me." she said.

"Damn, I was sure I got it right." he said before their lips touched.
He smiled against her mouth as they kissed sweetly at the bus stop.
They didn't even notice the noisy school bus roll to a stop in front
of them.

*HONK* *HONK*

The bus driver got their attention. They separated and blushed at all
the kids watching them. They got on the bus and chose an empty seat
near the back. Lana sat down in the window seat and Clark sat beside
her.

She scooted closer and put her her leg over his. She grinned
flirtaciously at him, he grinned back at her and put his other hand,
the one that wasn't holding Lana's, on her thigh. He shyly looked
around at all the kids that were glancing at them trying to act like
they didn't notice and the two grade 8 girls sitting in front of them
were giggling.

One of the turned around to face them. "Hi. I'm Cara." she introduced
herself.

Clark moved his hand to Lana's knee because this girl was young and
he was still the same shy Clark Kent. "Hi, Cara. I'm Clark and this
is my girlfriend Lana." he introduced them both.

"Hi." Lana greeted the girl, she looked younger for grade 8. "What
can we do for you?" she asked.

"Are you married?" Cara asked.

Clark and Lana let out a little laugh. "No, we're dating."

Cara nodded. "You're gonna get married one day." the girl told
them. "I know that because I can see the future." she smiled, proud
of herself.

"Cara." the other girl in the seat said. "Will you leave them alone.
You're not supposed to tell people what you see." she pulled Cara
back to sit down facing front.

Lana looked up at Clark. "Married huh? Is there something else your
keepin for me?" she teased. This girl was cute. She seemed like a
really nice kid.

"Yes. I bought a ring and I'm proposing to you tonight, I'm really
nervous about it." he played along.

"Well, if it helps at all I'm gonna say yes." she said. Then Clark
sobered and looked into her eyes. "I could never say no to you,
Clark." she said.

Clark touched her face and kissed her briefly. "I know. I do promise
that I will marry you one day. But let's finish school first." he
said.

"Agreed." she said, looking into his deep eyes for a few beats, then
resting her head on his shoulder.

In front of them Cara saw Clark and Lana's whole life like a movie in
fast foreward. She smiled happily. It was like a fairy tale.

~*~*~*~*~

Clark dropped Lana off at her first class before he went to his. Pete
was sitting in the usual desk, and had saved a seat for him. "Hey
man. How was you weekend." Pete asked as Clark sat down.

"It was good." Clark replied with a secretive smile.

Pete looked at his suspiciously. "Wait how good?"

"Really good." he said crytically.

"You and Lana have fun?" he asked. "You must have because I saw Lana
with you and you two got a glowing thing happening today." he told
him.

"We had fun this weekend. I told her about my abilities and she
understands. She told me she loves me." he said with a happy smile.

Pete shrugged. "I could have told you she loves you months ago." he
said.

Clark just chuckled and opened his books.

~*~*~*~*~

At lunch time Clark sat with Pete and Lana on at picnic table
outside. It was a beautiful day and they didn't want to eat in the
cafeteria. "It's not the same at school without Chloe." Lana stated.

"Yeah. I miss her too." Pete said. Pete had a thing for Chloe since
she moved here, but now she was living in Metropolis and he wouldn't
see her until spring break.

"Me too. But she's probably back with her old friends and is happy
there. So I'm happy for her." Clark said.

"That's a good way to look at it Clark. We have reasons to be happy
too." she said, taking his hand and lacing her fingers with his.

Pete watched the two love birds. They had each other but Pete didn't
have anybody. He smiled to hide the hurt inside him. He wanted
someone to love too.

Just then a girl that looked about 16 came up to the table. "Hey. I
was just wondering if I could sit with you."

Pete looked up and saw the pretty face of the new girl everyone was
talking about. "Sure you can."

"Yeah. We're friendly people." Lana said, popping out of her Clark-
world for a moment to say something before going right back into
Clark-world.

Clark nodded absently. "What's your name?" he asked. Lana let go of
his hand to pick up her can of _Coke_, so Clark wrapped his arm
around her waist.

"Lois. Lois Lane." she answered. What a hunk, Lois thought. She sat
down next to the nice dark skin boy and reached out to shake Clarks
hand.

Clark took her hand and shook. Lana watched, and couldn't help the
feeling of jealously creeping up on her. "Hi. I'm Lana. Clark's
girlfriend." she told the new girl, emphasizing the
word 'girlfriend'.

Lois nodded. "I thought as much." she said. "How long have you been
together?" she asked, taking out her lunch.

"A week." Lana answered, putting a possesive arm around her boyfriend.

Clark nodded. "Yep. But we've been friends since we were four." he
said. "Where are you from?" he asked.

"Metrolopis. My parents moved me here to get away from the polution
of the city. I have bad lungs." she confided.

Clark nodded in understanded. He knew that Lana was getting a bit
agitated by the way Lois was looking at him so he placed a loving
kiss to her temple. "Do you want to go work on that story for the
school paper?" he asked her.

Lana smiled at him, relieved to get him away from Lois. "Yeah. Excuse
us." she said to Lois and Pete. "Nice meeting you, Lois. See you
again soon." she said, then adding 'I sure hope you stay away from
Clark if you know what's good for you'. With that her and Clark left
Pete and Lois alone.

Lois Lane just smiled after them. Lana didn't stand a chance against
her. She would have Clark eating out of the palm of her hand within a
week.

~*~*~*~*~

"Lana, don't be ridiculous. I love you. I don't have any attraction
to Lois." he promised her, taking her into his arms. He knew it was
the new girl that had been bugging Lana. After much prying and some
sweet talk, Clark finally got it out of her.

"I know. I love you too. But that girl was eying you up like you were
a cut of meat." Lana said.

"Shh. She's just a girl. You're the woman I love. Nothing will ever
take you away from me. I waited too long for you." he said sincerely.

She tried to stay mad but that statement made her cave. "Thank you
Clark. You always know what to say." she said putting her arms around
him and resting her head on his chest. She sighed happily. This was
the life.

~*~*~*~*~

Part Eight

Clark walked in the door alone. Lana was working at the Talon that
afternoon and he had some choirs on the farm to finish up. This would
actually be the most time they'd spent apart since she moved in with
his family. He had some homework as well to finish.

"Clark." his mother said gravely from the kitchen.

"What is it mom?" He asked walking into the kitchen. His mother was
standing at the island in the middle of the small country style
kitchen.

She wordlessly held up the pair of black thong panties. "I found
these in your room." she told him, then placed them on the
table. "You've got some explaining to do young man." she demanded.

"Mom. Please don't over react." Clark pleaded. "It's not what you
think." he lied, it was exactly what she thought.

"Clark. Please. Don't insult my intelligence. I heard Lana go into
your room last night." she told him. Clark looked down at the floor,
embarrassed. Martha instantly felt remorse. "I'm just concerned about
what you're getting yourself into. After sex things get complicated.
It's a very serious commitment. Plus, when they break up the
friendship is pretty much destroyed." his mother lectured.

Clark clenched his jaw. "I love her." he said though his teeth.

Martha nodded. "I know you do. I'm just asking you to be careful.
You're lucky I didn't show this to your father. He would have been a
little less understanding." she said.

"Mom. I know you're upset with me, but me and Lana have been in love
for a long time we just haven't been a couple, but we are now and
we're falling deeper in love with each other the more time we spend
together." he told his mother.

Martha was silent. She was very upset. Her little boy was growing
up. "Did you use protection?" she asked bluntly.

"Yes." Clark lied. He could feel his face go white. They hadn't used
protection. He was from another planet, but he didn't know what his
genetic make up was. "I'm going upstairs to work on my homework.
Trust me, mom. I would never do anything to hurt Lana."

"I trust you, Clark." she told her son with motherly love in her
voice. "I won't tell your father about this." she promised.

"Thanks mom." he said, truly grateful. If Johnathan ever found out
that he slept with Lana, she would be outta the house before he could
blink once. With that thought he left his mom and went up the stairs
to him room.

Martha watched her son go. She knew she should be furious with him
for sneaking around behind her back. She knew she should be
suggesting that Lana move out. But on the other hand Clark was 16.
Most boys that his age have had sex at least once. A very small
percentage of them, however, had a strong and steady relationship
with the girl, and was deeply in love with her. So she considered
herself lucky.

~*~*~*~*~

Lana was just wiping down the tables and putting up the chairs when
Lex walked in the door. She jumped. "Lex you scared me." she gasped.

"Sorry. I just came by to get the profit rating." he told her.

"Of course. Hang on I'll get it." she said, hurrying behind the
courter and searching through a folder for the envelope Lex was
asking for.

Lex walked up to the counter. "A little birdy told be the other day
that you and Clark are an item now." he said, making conversation.

She handed him the envelope. "Yeah we are." she said with a radiant
smile. "Since a week ago. Who told you?"

"Chloe. She stopped by my mansion before she left to say goodbye."
Lex replied. Lana nodded sadly. "If it's any consolation, she said
you and Clark look great together." he told her.

Lana smiled and nodded. "I can't believe I went for so long without
seeing how wonderful he really was. I always had feelings for him and
an inkling that he felt the same, but I never knew those feelings
were this strong." she confided.

"Clark is a good guy. He used to come to me for advice, and I always
told him to go for it, but he held back. He was always thinking of
you, he never thought selfishly about you." Lex told her. "Just
thought you would like to know."

"Thanks." Lana said. "Speaking of Clark, I have to get going. We're
going out for dinner tonight." she grabbed her coat and keys.

"Do you have a ride?" he asked.

"Yeah. My car is just outside." she replied. "Thank for the offer."

"Anytime."

They both walked out of the Talon together, Lana locked up behind
them. "I'll see you around." she said, getting into her car. Lex just
nodded.

He watched her drive off down the street. Good for you, Clark, he
thought to himself. Then got into his own car and drove home.

~*~*~*~*~

The next day, Clark was working in the Torch office. After Chloe
left, he had taken over her duties of running the school paper. He
was supposed to be in English class, but since the paper was
associated with English, his teacher allowed him 30 minutes of the
class to work on the latest articles.

"Hey sexy." came a sultry voice from the door, Clark snapped his gaze
toward it. Lois. "Whatcha doin?" she asked, sauntering toward him and
taking a seat on the edge of the desk.

"Working on an article for the school paper." he told her. He knew
Lois was trying to seduce him, but he refused to play her game. He
was in love with another more beautiful and amazing girl.

"Where's you're cute little girlfriend?" she asked, leaning over
slightly to give Clark an eyeful of her cleavage.

Clark kept his eyes on the computer screen and didn't so much as
glance at the view she was so blatantly exposing. "She's in class."
he answered. "But she's supposed to stop by soon to help me with the
layout, so I suggest you leave."

Lois plastered an innocent look on her face. "Why? Doesn't sweet
little friggit Lana like me?" she asked, leaning close to him as if
to kiss him.

Clark rolled his eyes and shot out of his seat. He walked around the
desk to rifle though some papers on another table. "Lois, I know what
you're trying to do." he accused.

"Who me?" she walked up behind him. He turned to face her. "What ever
could you mean?" she asked with unconvincing innocence.

Clark moved around her. "Just leave, Lois." he ordered her.

Lana heard the whole conversation from outside. She had enough of
this boyfriend stealing bitch. So she marched right into the
newspaper office and right up to Clark, planting a deep, passionate
kiss right on his lips, completely ignoring Lois the shell shocked,
who looking on in disgust.

They kissed for a few seconds before Lana pulled away and pretended
to notice Lois for the first time. "Oh hey, Lois. What are you doing
here?" she asked with bitter sweetness.

"Get a room." Lois spat the stormed out.

Lana watched her go then turned back to her boyfriend. "I told you
she was after you." she said.

"You were right. I don't think she realizes that I love you. She was
trying to seduce me." he told her.

"I know. I heard everything. She's a little hussy." Lana said. Clark
chuckled at her choice of word to describe the new girl.

"I agree." he replied before pulling her closer and kissing her
again. he knew with Lois after him that things would get a bit rocky
up ahead, but for now he just wanted to enjoy being with Lana and cut
out all thoughts of Lois Lane.

~*~*~*~*~

Lois looked at herself in the mirror. What did he see in that tiny
asian looking girl? All she was was cuteness and sweetness. It was
revolting. "I will have you, Clark. Mark my words, Lana is going
down." then she reached into her pursh pulled out a red meteor rock,
laughing almost inhumanly.

~*~*~*~*~

Part Nine (NC-17)

It been a week and there had been no more attempts by Lois to steal
Clark from her, so Lana was beginning to calm on the subject. She
happily chatted with Chloe on the phone up in her room at the Kent's
farm house. She was lying on her stomach on her boyfriends comfy bed
as he contentedly traced the small tatoo she had on the small of her
back with his finger. The tattoo was fairly new and it still had the
redness around it, Lana said his touch made it sting less. He was
more than happy to continue making it sting less. He thought the new
addition made her look sexier, which he told her on many occasions,
not that she wasn't sexy enough to him before.

"Yeah, it's been great. How's your new job going?" Lana asked her
friend on the other end of the line. She was quite enjoying just
hanging out and chilling out with her friends, even thought one was
living in a different city and other was her boyfriend.

Clark heard Chloe's reponse. "I'm in the mailroom at The Daily
Planet, but it's a start." Clark couldn't help but smile.

"That's good. You'll be the number one editer on no time, you'll
see." Lana encouraged her friend.

"Yeah. When the rain turns green and Clark flies." Chloe said
sarcastically. Lana was about to respond to that when...

"Clark, Lana! Supper time!" Mrs. Kent called from downstairs.

"I'll call you back in a few days. It's time for me and Clark to go
eat dinner." Lana said.

"Alright, Lana. Talk to you later." they hung up.

Clark placed a soothing kiss on Lana's tatoo before getting up. "So
whats new with our Daily Planet employee?" he asked his girlfriend.
"She's seen all her old friends and even met someone. She's happy
there, says she misses us." she replied, taking his hand they walked
down the stairs to join his parents for dinner.

"I'm glad she's happy." he said sincerely.

~*~*~*~*~

The next morning was a Non-Instructional Day and Clark and Lana had
the day off. Lana was busy in the kitchen with Martha and Clark was
out in the field with Johnathan.

"I understand that you and Clark have been getting closer." Martha
said, attempting to stike up a conversation while serving the duel
purpose of having a disscussion about the status of their
relationship.

Lana smiled radiantly. "Yeah we are. I hope that's not a problem."
she said, not that it would have changed anything, she would have
stayed with Clark no matter what.

"No it's fine. Clark has told you about his abilities, right?" she
asked, drying and putting away dishes. They hadn't discussed the
topic as a family yet.

Lana moved to help. "Yeah. He told me that night in the caves." she
replied, drying some cutlery and placing them in their spots.

Martha nodded. "What all did he tell you?" putting some bowls away in
their proper places.

Lana put away a plate she had finished drying. "He told me about this
strength, and his eyes, and that he has super speed. I know there's
more for him to tell me, but I can wait." she replied. Martha got
that concerned mother look on her face. "I love you son very much. I
love him enough to give him time between romantic confessions." she
told her boyfriend's mother.

"I'm glad that Clark has you in his life." Martha told her.

Lana hugged her. "Me too."

"Thanks for your help Lana. Now go get my son, he's been working all
morning." she said, sending Lana off into the yard. Martha watched
her practically skip up to her son and embrace him warmly, kissing
hello. They reminded her of her own relationship with her husband.
She has happy for her son, he found someone he could love who
accepted him no matter what. She just hoped their love would last the
next bombshell Clark had for his girlfriend.

~*~*~*~*~

Lana walked up the stairs of the loft. "Hey." she said when she
spotted her lover gazing through his telescope. She walked up to him,
concerned.

He took and hand. "Look." he said, then moved out of the way to give
her room. She gave him a weird look and put her eye to the lens of
the telescope. "It's Venus." he told her.

Lana smiled. "Wow. It's beautiful." she said, then looked up at
him. "You left so suddenly after dinner. I was worried about you."
she told him, moving closer in an invitation to touch her. Clark was
never one to turn down an invite, he slid his hands around her waist.

"I needed to think." he said. She nodded, there was something that
was bothering him. "Lana, I need to show you something." he took her
hand and led her out of the barn and into the storm cellar. He moved
away from her and threw off the tarp covering his spaceship.

Lana gasped.

"On the day of the meteor shower, I came to earth in this." he
confessed. "I was going to tell you that night I told you about my
abilities, but I was so afraid that I would lose you. It can't be put
off any longer though."

Lana stared, she knew he had something else to tell her, but she
didn't know it was this extreme. She was speechless staring at the
metal aircraft then turned to gaze to him. "How could you not tell me
about this?" she asked, her eyes wide and filling with tears.

"I'm sorry, Lana. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to. But I didn't
want to find out on your own or from someone else other than me." he
told her. When she didn't say anything he hung his head, certain that
this was it, she would be gone forever. But when he looked back up
she was standing right in front of him. "Lana..." he started, but
trailed off.

Lana looked up into those big loving eyes she adored so much, she
knew what she had do to. "I was just telling your mom this afternoon
how much I love you, that I love you enough to give you time to tell
me everything. I meant it then... and I still believe it now. As long
as you being from another planet doesn't effect how much you can love
me, then I'm peachy." she told him seriously.

It took Clark a second to register what she had just told him. She
wasn't mad. SHE WASN'T MAD!!! Clark couldn't contain his shining
smile and the deep belly laugh that erupted from his throat. He
scooped her up and swung her around, both laughing cheerfully. When
he put her back on the ground his eyes were wet with tears of
happiness. "I love you so much, Lana." he professed, stroking her
smoothe face.

"Dito." she said, rising to her tippy toes to join with him in and
deep, passionate kiss.

~*~*~*~*~

"That's it? She's was completely cool with it?" Pete exclaimed as he
shot the ball toward the hoop nail to the side of the barn.

"Yeah. She just told me she loved me and basically said that she
would never leave me no matter what." he said as he caught the
rebound and dribbled out of shoot.

Pete caught the ball as it went though the hoop. "Sounds like you got
yourself one winner of the girl." he told his best friend as he took
his shot. "Yes!" he exclaimed in triumpt as the ball went through the
net.

"Yeah. She's perfect for me." Clark replied.

"I knew it!" Lana said as she rounded the corner of the barn and
joined the boys on the makeshift basketball court. "There's another
woman." she teased.

Clark chuckled and moved to embrace his girlfriend. "You caught me."
he played along, leaning in for a passionate hello kiss.

"Hey hey. Enough with the PDA's. I'm 16 and I'm so young to watch you
two." Pete joked.

Clark and Lana broke their kiss. "Me and Pete were just shooting some
hoops. Wanna join us?" he asked her.

"Yeah Lana, let's see what you got." Pete agreed throwing her the
basketball.

Lana caught it easily. "Alright." she said. She dribbled the ball up
to the line they had drawn in the dirt. She aimed the ball and shot
it at the net.

Clark and Pete watched in awe as it sail through the air to plunk
right through the net. "And the crowd goes wild." Clark cheered,
running to pick up his girlfriend and spun her around a few time.

Pete watched the love sick couple, smile and making googly eyes. He
shook his head at the sickening sweetness. "Beginner's luck." he
called.

She just laughed. "Probably." looking up at Clark.

Pete understood what that meant. They wanted to be alone. They wanted
to be alone more and more lately. "Alright. I guess I should get
going. See ya at school Clark." he said, then took off to his truck
and drove away.

"He sure left in a hurry." Lana observed.

"Yeah. That was strange. But..." he pulled her close and kissed
her. "good for us." She returned the kiss, smiling against his soft
lips. She liked the fact that her boyfriend wasn't normal, there
would never be another Clark Kent.

~*~*~*~*~

Martha and Johnathan were just getting ready to leave. "Now you two
be good while we're out." Martha told them sternly. She was a bit
wary about leaving them alone together.

Clark held the door open for them. "Don't worry. We'll just watch
movies and chill out." he told them, ushering them out onto the porch.

"Remember that you have to clean the kitchen." Johnathan reminded
him. "We'll be back tomorrow morning." they were heading to
Metrolpolis to have a nice dinner for their anniversary. Lex offered
to pay. They accepted, with a little encouragement from Clark and
Lana.

"I remember, Dad. See you tomorrow." he said, waving them off. They
drove off to the field where they were getting picked up by the
chopper.

Clark smiled like a giddy boy on Christmas morning. Alone with Lana
all night. She quickly got back in the house where Lana was making
hot chocolate. He came up behind her and put his arm around her
slight waist, tilting his head to kiss the side of her smoothe
neck. "We're all alone now. What do you wanna do?" he purred into her
ear.

Lana shivered with excitement. She would have taken him up on his
offer right away, but she had been dying to see Sweet Home Alabama
since for ever. She poured the hot water into each mug and stirred
the chocolate into them. Then turned around to wrap her arms around
his neck. "I would love nothing more than to spend the entire night
in your arms, but... I really wanna see that movie we got." she told
him. She waited for him to get ticked off.

But he didn't. "I know. This is just a preview for later." he said in
that sexy voice.

Lana shivered again. How did he always know how to push her buttons.
Her thoughs were cut off when he bent his head and kissed her hard.
Lana thrilled at the carnal feeling that was induced by his
passionate and deep kiss. He started to lean her back against the
counter, but the mugs got in the way. There's the brakes. Lana
thought. "Movie." she reminded him as the kiss broke.

"Right." Clark replied, breathless and arroused.

Lana reluctantly slipped out of his tender embrace and grabbed the
movie. "Can you get the hot chocolate?" she asked from the living
room. Clark took a deep breath and picked up the steaming hot mugs
with his bare hands. "Watch out its..." she looked and saw him with
the hot mugs, he wasn't even flinching. She smiled, "hot." her face
flushed at how that sounded.

"That's another thing." he told her. "I don't feel it."

"Cool. You are just full of surprises." she said, popping the movie
into the player. He handed her a mug and they both sat down on the
comfy sofa.

"Is this a chick flick?" he asked, putting his arm around her and
delighting when she snuggled up to him.

"Yeah." she replied as the movie started.

Clark knew he was in for a long night.


Lana was in tears by the time the movie was over. She clutched his
shirt as the two main actors played out the touching scene.

Clark just watched in awe, that was how he felt about Lana. He had
bought a beatiful promise ring one day while Lana was working at The
Talon... it was time to make his promise of a life with Lana
official.

Lana turned off the tv and straddled him and planting a full kiss on
his open mouth. "So, how about I take you up on that offer, lover."
she whispered against his lips.

~*~*~*~*~

They burst through the door of her bedroom, clothes flying off, the
love sick teenagers toppled over onto her bed. When they finished
stripping each other, Lana pinned him on his back. She reached down
and stroked his length before lowering her hot body onto his. She
hissed in pleasure as his massive girth stretched her to her limits.

Clark's eyes rolled back in his head, his eyes tightly closed. This
first time they made love had happened by chance, but this one was
more planned. It was exhilerating that Lana wanted him as much as he
wanted her.

Lana dug her nails into his chest as she sank all the way down, his
erection going deeper than it had the first time, touching different
area inside her. "OOOOHHHH...Clark." she breathed.

He watched her as she just sat still on him, not making any move at
all. He slowly sat up and took one of her diamond hard nipples into
his wet mouth. She gasped loudly as the movement caused him to shift
inside her. She clutched his head and began to move up and down,
riding him at an easy, unhurried pace.

She threw her head back, indulging in all the sensations that coursed
through her in huge bursts of energy. The first time there had been
pain, but this time all there was to feel was reckless pleasure. And
they could be as loud as they wanted. She gripped his shoulders as he
kissed his way up her chest, neck, face to settle on his lips.

He caressed her cute back and ran his a hand through her tousled
hair, letting his emotions take over. His control slipped completely,
his mind shut down, but by some strange miracle and his nature to
keep her safe, his abilities remained in check. He broke the kiss,
opening his eyes to look at her.

She was totally lost as well. Her body took over, speeding up her
movements in the rush for fullfillment. She opened her eyes to look
into his, they were intense and dark with sex. It excited her over
sensitized senses further.

She couldn't have been more beautiful to him. Her face flushed, her
skin glowed, her eyes filled with primal desire. He gripped her hip
gently with one hand while the other moved up to stroke her face,
feeling the heat emanate from her. He saw her eyes fill with tears,
the love she felt for him overshone all else. She moved faster,
kissed him more wantonly.

She felt her orgasm approaching, the intense pleasure started deep in
her womb and radiated outwards. He reached between them and gave her
swollen clit a slight flick and she flew over the edge into the
abyss. Her body convulsing around him, bringing him with her, his
jets of fluid bathed her walls as they rippled and contracted, taking
all that he had to give.

This orgasm lasted longer than than the last one, she screamed with
the intensity of it, then yielded against his strudy chest. Both
struggling to regain their breath.

After they both had time to recouperate Lana lifted her head lazily
from his chest and looked at him in loving awe. "That was
incredible." she said.

Clark didn't know what to say. "I love you." was what he felt. Lana
smiled. He smiled back and lowered then down to relax on the bed, she
rolled to the side and pillowed her head on his chest. "I have
something I want to give you." he told her, reaching into the top
drawer of his bedside table, he pulled out a small velvet box. Lana
spotted it and her heart started racing. She sat up and pulled the
covers around her. Clark sat up as well. He held it out and opened
it.

The ring was an exquisite sterling silver Claddagh ring. Lana gasped
and took the small box from him. "It's stunning." she stated.

Clark lifted the small ring from the box and took her left hand in
his. "It's a promise ring. I promise that one day I will marry you,
Lana if, when the day comes, you'll have me."

"Yes, of course, Clark." she said, her eyes getting all teared up
again. He grinned and slipped the ring on her left third finger, a
perfect fit. She hugged him tight, "I love you."

"I love you, too. Forever."

~*~*~*~*~

Lois sneered as she watched the disgusting scene take place through
the window that was right beside Lana's bed. "Alright, have fluffy
fun. But I have a delightful little surprise coming your way Kent.
You will be mine. Tina may have lost Lana, but I won't make that
mistake." she said to herself. "See ya soon." she said, then turned
on her heel and walked away into the night.

~*~*~*~*~

Part 10

Lois crept into the cemetery. It was dark and the shadows from the
tall trees danced across her smoothe features. She glided up to the
gravestone that she visited every night...

HERE LIES TINA GREER
1985-2002
LOVING DAUGHTER
DEVOTED FRIEND

Lois scoffed at that. Devoted friend? Yeah right. The rabid bitch
left her in the institution while she ran out free as a bird. They
had been friends since Lois was tossed in the Loony Bin, and Lois was
sure she could trust the shapeshifter. But she was wrong... way wrong

FLASBACK

"Are you doing it tonight?" Lois asked as her and Tina sat in the
darkness of their shared room. Tina nodded. "Good, let's get the piro
then." Her and Tina snuck out of their room without a peep and tip
toed down to Melissa's room, the local piromaniac. She liked fire.

Melissa was on her bed playing with an imaginary lighter. "Hey Mel."
Tina said, walking up and handing her a real lighter. "We have a
proposition for you." Melissa nodded without a word and began
flicking the lighter on and off. "Glad your with us." She placed a
forged note on the bed saying Melissa had escaped, the stupid
orderlies would believe anything.

The trio snuck out of Melissas room and into the art room where Tina
and Lois doused her with paint thinner. The unknowing mentally ill
girl flicked the lighter again, and went up in flames. Tina laughed
evilly and grabbed Lois, making a run for the door as all the
orderlies rushed to the art room not even noticing them.

"Gotcha!" cryed a male orderly as he grabbed Lois.

"Tina. Help me!" Lois cried to her friend who was still running.

"Help yourself!" Tina called back as she got out the door and ran out
into the night. Free at last. Lois was in tears as the orderly took
her back to her room.

After a while the coroner came and took the body of Melissa away. "It
was Tina. She did it. Melissa escaped." Lois lied. She loved her
friend very much, she would never double cross her. The police and
staff of the institution believed her and made arrangements to get
Lois moved in with another patient.

END FLASHBACK

"You stabbed me in the back. But, from what I hear though, you got
stabbed in the front, so I guess you got what you deserved. But you
know what?" she crouched down in front of the stone grave
marker. "Clark will be mine. I've been doing my homework..." she held
up the red meteor rock. "...Clark has Achillease heel, you know that
hero in greek or roman times who was flawless except for his heel."
She watched the rock start to glow. "Oh yea, Clark will see the light
when this baby gets to him."

~*~*~*~*~

As the sun came up, it lit up her room with it's glow of a good
morning. She smiled at it's warmth and reached out beside her...
finding herself alone in the bed. Curiously she picked up her shirt
and pj pants and dressed herself. But when she got up to put on her
robe, a wave of nausea hit her and she had to run for the bathroom.

After she had emptied all that was in her stomach she flushed the
toilet and to stood and brushed her teeth. Then gripped the edge of
the counter as a dizzy spell made her feel tipsy. She shook her head
to clear it and finished brushing her teeth, running a brush through
her hair, and taking her daily birth control pill, the amazing little
pink pill that allowed her to get busy with Clark and still not get
pregnant.

When she got downstairs she spotted her boyfriend mopping the kitchen
floor... in an apron. She giggled, this caused him to look up. "Are
you mocking me?" he asked, leaning the mop against the counter and
removing the apron.

"Uh, yeah." she replied as her took her in his arms and gave her a
lingering good morning kiss. "Mmm. I'm not so sure we should kiss. I
think I'm coming down with something." she told him.

"I can't get sick." he reminded her, kissing her again. Lana suddenly
felt lightheaded and her knees buckled. If Clark hadn't had his arms
so firmly around her, she would have fallen. "Are you okay?" he
asked, his face a mask of concern.

Lana took a deep breath and pressed a hand to her forehead. "I...
I..." was all she managed before she passed out. Clark's heart sped
up with fear as he watched the love of his life slip into
unconsciousness, he supported her easily. "Lana..." he called to her.
His heart racing he picked her up and ran at full speed to the
hospital.

~*~*~*~*~

Hours later, Clark paced back and forth in the waiting room while the
doctors tried to figure out what was wrong with her. "Young man, will
you please sit down. You're making me dizzy." a nice old lady asked
him politely.

Clark looked over at the tender face of a nice old lady. "Sorry." he
said, sitting down in the nearest seat.

"Wife having a baby?" the old lady asked gently.

Clark found himself wishing that was what it was, at least then he
would know what it was. "No, my girlfriend passed out this morning
after she said she felt like she was coming down with something."
Clark confided.

"Ah. There is a nasty bug that's going around this parts. I caught it
myself. Took me through the ringers I'll tell you." she said, with a
smile and a laugh.

Despite himself, Clark found that he was smiling. "Why are you here?"
He asked.

"Third grandchild being born just down the hall." she said. "The
name's Francis by the way."

"I'm Clark." he introduced himself. "My girlfriend is Lana."

Suddenly Francis placed a hand to the side of her face. "Lana Lang?"
she inquired. Clark nodded. "Well, I'll be. My vision was right after
all." she said.

"Vision?" Clark asked, his brow furrowing.

"Oh my. The women in our family have a nack for it. We get dreams of
things that will come to pass. We see the path that certain people
can make to get to certain parts of their life. Me and my grand
daughter really have the gift. Her name is Cara. Perhaps you know
her." Francis told him, knowing full well that Cara had spoken to him
and Lana in the bus that day.

"Yeah. She said me and Lana would get married." Clark told her. "We
thought she was just kidding around."

"Ah, you see that's where people make their mistakes. They have no
faith." then she leaned closer. "Things are going to get rough up
ahead, I won't lie to you. But you have to remember that the
physically lost can be found, but when you lose a part of you inside,
that is not so easily brought back." Then she got up and walked off
down the hall.

"Wait!" Clark called. Francis turned to him. "What about your
grandchild."

"He was just born. They'll name him Clark." she said, then turned and
walked out of sight, leaving Clark with the cryptic message she had
given him.

"Clark Kent?" the doctor questioned.

Clark looked up and saw Lana's doctor standing over him. He stood up
right away. "Is Lana okay?" he asked immediately.

"Yes. She's fine. We think she may have a touch of the flu, but we're
running some blood tests. I just need to ask you a few questions."
Dr. Emanuel told Clark.

"Okay." Clark agreed, thankful to high heaven that Lana was going to
be alright.

"Let's sit down." they sat. "Have you and Miss. Lang had sex." the
doctor asked bluntly. Clark turned a deep shade of crimson, but
managed a nodd. "I trust you've used protection." the doctor assumed.

"She's on the pill." Clark said.

"Ah, well the pill it's 100% effective and it definitely doesn't
protect against STD's. It's recommended that couples that are using
the pill as a method birth control use condoms as well." he
explained.

"It was the first time for both of us." Clark told him. He was
incredibly embarrassed, but if it helped find out what was wrong with
Lana, he could bear it.

"Okay. We still ran all the STD tests just to be sure. We've run a
pregnancy test as well." with that the doctor stood.

Clark stood up too. "Wait. There's not really much of a chance that
she could be pregnant... right?" he asked. If his mom and dad found
out that he had gotten his girlfriend pregnant... that was all he
needed.

"Not a huge change. I'd say a 5% chance. It's procedure to run all
tests when female patients show the symtoms of pregnancy. You can see
her now." then the doctor turned and practically ran off the avoid
any more questions.

Clark watched him go, then moved to open the door to Lana's room. He
heart broke when he saw the IV in her hand and the oxygen tube in her
nose. Her eyes were closed. He moved to her bedside and took her hand
in his. "I'm sorry, Lana." he whispered.

"For what." came her voice. It was hoarse and dry. "It's just the flu
Clark." she told him. "It's not your fault."

Clark nodded. "I was so scared. You looked so pale." he confessed.

"Yeah. Seems I have the flu that's been sweeping Metropolis for the
past few weeks." she said, moving to sit up and patting the bed
beside her.

He gave a weak smile and sat down on her bed. "When can you get out
of here?" he asked. He loathed seeing her in a hospital bed. He'd
much rather her bed at home in her own bed.. preferabley his... he
mentally smacked himself for thinking of that when his girlfriend was
sick.

"They want to keep me overnight for observation. We get the results
of those awfuls tests in a few days." she told him. His eyebrows
popped up when she refered to the STD testing. "Trust me Clark. You
don't want to know." she said.

He couldn't help but chuckle. Even when she was sick and in a hard,
uncomfortable hospital bed, she never ceased to make him smile and
amazed him further. "I love you." he said, his voice cracking.

Lana smiled and reached out to touch him face. "I know. I love you
too." Then she scooted closer and hugged him rejoicing in the feel of
his arms surrounding her, making her feel safe once more. "Did you
call your parents?" she asked.

Clark shook his head. "I will... later." he told her, holding her
tigher, tight as he could without suffocating her.

Lana nodded and let herself be held.
