Hi Sara!
but RL seemed to be against me.
Super tired?
So... now it’s Happy Monday,
/Points at Mary’s “One Day”/
helped me do way more troubleshooting/brainstorming about logistics than maybe was required for a fic this length,
It’s the same with Lois prepping a complicated meal, like toast with butter and a hardboiled egg.
Metropolis Fire Department:
Being a new parent is exhausting—rewarding but exhausting—even when you have superpowers.
Now Clark has to take care of two girls who can’t survive without his constant attention.
He wouldn’t make it home any faster to Lois and the baby if he clipped the side of a building on the way
Actually, he might. Depends on just how much of the turn he’s able to shave off.
holding little six-month-old Ellie,
Cute, from his family name and Lois’s mother, too!
LOIS: yes, that’s what people are supposed to think.
Tylenol. You know, I’m still not entirely sure that works on her, but in any ca—
“Okay, right. Leaving,” she said, straightening and adjusting her suit coat and the shoulder strap of her briefcase. “I love you.”
No last minute check for baby residue?
“Oh, almost forgot—Perry said he needs the follow-up on your shelter piece by morning. Bye! Love you!”
even more work!
Just like Lois, he hated seeing her sick and miserable, especially when there was nothing to be done but hold her.
Its funny how you can put ‘Lois’ in there in either position.
Though, there was something to be said for the feeling he got when she was snuggled and sleeping, warm against his chest.
This, too!
What should we do while Mommy is off intimidating allegedly corrupt politicians, huh?”
‘allegedly’?
LOIS: I don’t have proof yet. Perry’s a stickler for that sort of thing.
they’d failed to make a plan for if Ellie was ever sick for longer than a day or two at a time.
Did they already sweep for green dust in house?
And now here they were, on day five of Ellie Watch, and they were both exhausted.
RALPH: Lois was so much easier to be around before the baby. Now, you don’t even need to compliment her figure for her to take your head off.
Maybe they should think about bringing his mom up to Metropolis next time Ellie got sick, or if she didn’t feel better by morning.
Sounds like a plan!
but failing to grab hold of the spandex.
Jimmy’s coming by later! Clark might want to change before answering the door.
“Hey, Jimmy,” he said softly. “Oh!” Jimmy almost yelped, though he seemed to realize he was too loud and immediately lowered his voice. “
Jimmy has a key? So, he eyes Papa Supes and marvels at this unconventional family.
It’s okay, thanks, Jim,” Clark whispered back. “We’ve been looking forward to reviewing that research. Thank you!”
I think Jimmy might know …
he started backing his way up to the front door. “You’re, uh, welcome...I’ll see you...soon enough, I’m sure. Uh, bye!”
Okay, he knows now.
, “Did you get Superman to babysit again? That’s so cool that he does that for you! And I thi—”
Smooth, Jimmy. Real smooth. You did not check if Clark knows that Superman’s involved before spilling the beans.
“Huh?” Clark interrupted, confused and panicked for a second.
See? Clark doesn’t know that Superman is back in the picture with Lois.
“Sweet!” Jimmy said, grinning. “I wonder if I could get a free flight sometime.”
Yes, but carrying Jimmy and Date … not sure how romantic that is.
but it’s not like he’s an airline or a babysitter.”
LOIS: and yet Ellie is a product of the Mile-High club.
Another cute one! I really thought it would just be a sleep-deprived author. And then you put a baby in the mix, too!
