This is exactly the kind of discussion I was anticipating. It felt very real, which is important for such a difficult topic. Whew...I'm glad Lois didn't harbor too much anger for Clark leaving just at the wrong moment...wondering how much that's going to happen in the next few parts, leaving Lois to question Clark's commitment to her and her child. I can't wait for the next part!
<sigh of relief>
Glad it felt real to you. I was worried about how people might take this chapter, with all the heavy discussion about what to do about the pregnancy. (All things considered, especially in this kind of situation, a very touchy subject.)
More to come soon!
