Well, now we know why Lois doesn't want to have kids.
I can attest to the fact that, by the end of the story, Lois will have someone's children. Just a matter of who, really.
Clark is so totally ruining Miss Lane. First, he's calling her Lois. Next, he's meeting her alone in his bed chamber for hours every night. Then, he tells her he loves her (and not just for her beauty... at least Clark is catching on in that front). Now, he's shown her the miracle of birth (very sexy thing in the olden days when noble women didn't know about sex until (or IF) their mother spoke to them about it prior to the wedding).
*Clark points to Lois* It's all her fault, I swear!!!
I'm beginning to wonder if Lex Luthor will stab Clark through the heart for ruining the reputation of the woman he's wooing as this was the era of dueling being legal.
Oh no. Now you've gone and poked my muse. She just grinned evilly at me.
If not Lex, then certainly Sam Lane. Although with Sam, I can see him more likely throwing both of them off his property with no references, money, or hope for the future.
Sam is actually on-the-ball here. He sees what's unfolding and knows the heart wants what it wants, and is certain that no one is overstepping their bounds. He's a much better father (in some respects) than canon Sam.
I cannot see a happy ending for these two.
One of the harsh realities of that era.
And, yet, I'm hooked. I can't stop reading now.
And for that, I am grateful! Thanks for sticking with it!
