Very nice, Endelda. I'm glad you answered the challenge with something closer to Val's expectations. I'm also glad you showed us Lucy's difficulties at childbirth in a flashback after we knew both she and her son were fine and dandy. Letting something happen to either Lucy or the baby would have been Lex-level cruel.

And this was precious:

Everyone smiled at Joey’s happy shouts as Clark started to spin around slowly, then burst into laughter when the small boy flung his arms out in front of himself and cried “I Supaman! I save you, Aunt Lois!”

Lois glared at her sister. “Oh, ha ha, very funny. Did you teach him that?”

Lucy grinned back with sparkling eyes, completely unrepentant. “I didn’t have to!”

I admit it, I laughed. Tempus would have loved the irony. Not the announcement, of course, but...

Cool story! Do another one! Even better (assuming that's possible)!
