Okay. So this has gotten drastically longer. That may be good or bad news, depending on how you like the story so far. But the good news? No more question mark, so you know it's set in stone. That's right. Mouse is coming at you with a fully fleshed out story.

Hope you like twists.

This is a wonderful story. I wonder what is wrong with Lois. I love how Clark hunted her down and once he looked into those big brown eyes of the little girl you knew he knew. I also like the name.

Yay for Mouse! And yay for Havana! She's got to be the cutest little two-year-old ever.

Well, we've answered the question of Kryptonian/human crossbreeding potential. And since there's no way Perry and the rest of the staff wouldn't know about Lois' daughter, it's no wonder her boss cuts her so much slack. I wonder how hostile the rest of the reporting team will be toward Clark when they find out that Clark's the baby daddy. Perry has figured it out, surely, but no one else knows yet.

And when will we know what's killing Lois? I totally get his desire to help her in any way, and I also get her reaction ("You really think I haven't thought of that, Clark?") and her fear of his raising her hopes with impossible promises. But if this tale is still mainly about saving Lois - it is, isn't it? - someone will pull a rabbit out of a hat somewhere down the line.

Will Lois tell Havana that Clark is her daddy? Will she let Clark into his daughter's life even as she tries to keep him out of hers? Surely he'll want to be her daddy! When will Lois learn of his "special" talents? And will those talents figure in her recover? (I'm an optimist with other people's stories.)

Oh, this is good! I'm so glad the story has expanded so much. There is so much to tell.

So, when will the next chapter be up?

Oh I’m so happy it’s going to be longer! Lois is dying and they have a child together? I love how Clark went to Lois’ to tell her he’ll do anything for her. So sweet! Can’t wait to see what happens next.

Maybe Clark should have taken a little more time to think about what he was doing and waited until the next day to talk to Lois and not at her home.

I wonder how much Havana knew about her father before now.

I cant wait to see what happens in the next chapter.

Wow! Thanks for all the comments!


Glad you're enjoying so far! Thanks, I thought the name gave the title a little more strength, plus it's got a lot of fun nickname opportunities (Hana, Ana, Vana, Banana, Bo-Bana...)


That is how I'm picturing her, yes.

Indeed. Lots more to come there. I wanted Perry's speech to come off as vague at first, but on re-reading it matches up way better with the introduction of Havana. And there's one more person who might already know.

Yep, it is. That thread hasn't changed (a promise is a promise, no matter how hard the evil side of me tries to off her...)

All that and more will be answered in the next... eleven chapters.


Hopefully by the end of the week, assuming the power and internet stays up (got a MAJOR snowstorm coming in tomorrow, and yes, I'm still in California. I'm not built for this!!)


Thanks! Glad you're happy about the extension. There's just too much to unpack with this one. More to come soon.


Probably. But it's much less drama if Clark and Lois approach things rationally. More to come on Havana.

It is really bad when Perry does not hire Clark for the job. In all my years of reading FoLC fandom that has rarely happened. Now how is Clark supposed to take care of his family without a job? You promised twists and turns and that is exactly what is happening. I can hardly wait for Part three!

Quite the pickle, poor Clark. Part three is coming soon, but don't expect that to be resolved yet.

Near the end of the first chapter, I was expecting there to be a kid. But after the end, I figured that that wasn't going to happen. You've got me on the edge of my seat. I'm kind of glad that I'm late to the party here so I don't have to endure the cliffhanger.

Mouserocks can’t be THAT cruel!

Havana is so cute I already love her. What a twist!!!! I didn’t expect her at all….
I’m really hooked. What a wonderful story!
