This chapter was so emotional.
I liked how Lois and Clark were so eager to get married again. (Of course, that makes sense, if they've been there for four months!)
I loved how Lois much it meant to Lois to spend Easter with her mother Lucy, and Dave, but at the same time it tore at her heart that her sons weren't there.
She's right, Nate is probably walking by now. That's so sad that they both missed his first steps!
And I liked that Lois is obviously worried about how her kids are coping, too.
Not sure how I feel about this, though.
I shrugged. "Not too bad. I've been worse, but I think it's starting to get a bit better. I'm just hoping to avoid bed rest this time." I wasn't sure why but the all-day sickness hadn't been quite so bad this time, but I was already nearly seventeen weeks already and it hadn't been debilitating like it had been with the boys.
Some women DO have different synmtoms in different pregnacies, so it's possible that's what it is.
But, given the difference in her relationship with Clark, I think the implication is that she's not as sick for that reason.
The idea has merit, to a certain extent.
Clark is probably making sure she's eating better, etc. which would help her.
Still, On the Other Hand
, they haven't been sleeping in the same bed. That means Clark can't give her backrubs in bed, etc. like he did when she was pregnant with Nate. (Although he has probably given her some out of the bed...or would that be too far since their not married?
I'm not sure where the "line" is here on their phsyical relationship between filing for divorce and getting remarried.)
Besides, I'm not sure I like the implication that the severity of pregnacy nausea is related to the attention of the father.
Like I said, there are things Clark can do, yes.
But really, it's going to be there or not, severe or not, on it's own.
