"I can't leave you here," she said, even as a tear found a path down her cheek.

"You have to. Lois, listen to me. That's my baby you're carrying. It's my choice. I want you to save my child."

Lois looked at him in stunned silence. He wished he could explain. He wanted to explain, but there wasn't time.

"Trust me, Lois. Just go," he finally said. "Tell my parents about the baby. They'll explain everything." At
least his parents could make sure that she knew what she needed to know. "Just let him know I loved him. I would have been there for him if I could." The last words were barely a whisper.

"I'm not exactly sure how to say this," she said in all
honesty as she studied her hands. There was no way to tell
him this without sounding like a tramp. "I don't know if
this is your child," she whispered.

"This is my child, Lois," Clark said, his absolute
conviction coming through on every word.

She let out a slow breath. "I know you believe that, but
even I..." She emphasized the word. "...don't know if this
is your child. It could be, but... Please, just let me say
this," she said when he looked as if he was about to
interrupt. "I've only been with two men in my life," she
began. "You and Claude."

"The man you're involved with," Clark said.

"Was," Lois corrected. He looked confused so she continued.
"I sort of lied about that. I haven't been with Claude
since you and I..." She looked down again. "I just couldn't
stand the thought of him touching me after you..." Her
voice trailed off and she began nibbling on her lower lip.
She hadn't meant to tell him quite that much.

"Why didn't you tell me all this when I asked about the
baby's paternity?" he asked.

"I didn't think you'd want the complication of being a
father - given the way you obviously feel about me."
