These quotes were so familiar and since no one else has anwered in a while, I cheated and looked it up. It's
Growing Pains by Ann McBride.
Here's another great story!
Lois stood at the door leading to her small backyard. It seemed like
ages since she'd been happy here. She could clearly remember nights
spent on the patio with her husband, sharing wine or dinner over
conversation or the latest story they were working on. She could even
recall the night they made up after their first big fight. Those times
seemed like years ago now.
So much had happened in the last few years. Finding out Clark was
Superman, which was a good thing since she was in love with both men.
She didn't have to give up her fantasy because she'd chosen to have a
life with her best friend. They'd taken forever to get married, over a
year. This brownstone was their first home. It held many memories, some
good, some bad. It was here they shared passionate nights together. It
was here they found out they couldn't have children. It was here she
remained when Clark walked out of her life. And it was also here where
she found out Dr. Klein's fertility tests were wrong. Kryptonians were
indeed compatible with Earthlings. At least Clark was compatible with
Lois. She was rubbing the proof in her very pregnant belly.
Lois would deliver hers and Clark's baby in three short months. She
would also raise that baby alone. Clark had made it clear that he could
not, or more to the point, would not be part of the baby's life. In
fact, he'd told her to abort it. She had slapped his face hard for that
one. She could still remember that painful night so well.
