OMG that was adorable, E! I LOVE it! I always love the idea of Jimmy finding out and I can relate to Lois and Clark's sadness/jealousy/but still happy for you feelings when Lucy and Jimmy made their announcement. Being the ones left waiting stinks. But I'm glad to see Dr. Klein was wrong and their happy ending is on the way too.

Awesome fic, please give us more! smile

Thanks Queenie! laugh

I always worry that I'm either writing children as too cutesy or too mature, I'm glad you felt like Joey hit that middle ground of adorable!

Thanks Vicki, I'm glad you liked it! I'm actually kind of ambivalent about anyone but Lois (and maybe Dr. Klein) finding out, but the revelation scene popped into my head and wouldn't go away - thank goodness I had Feli to help me with the medical bits!

I'm also relieved to hear that I got Lois's reaction to Lucy's pregnancy right, I was really worried about accidentally writing something hurtful there.

Yes indeed, happy ending on the way! I guess Dr. Klein will have to do some recalculating! goofy

Endelda, what a great little summer story! laugh I could taste the lemonade and feel the happiness vibes at that backyard gathering. So nice to see Lucy married to Jim Their son, Joey, is adorable. He will be a great older cousin.

Thanks Morgana, I'm glad you liked the story! I could see them so clearly in my head, all having a great time at Lois & Clark's special announcement BBQ, and I'm glad that at least some of that came through on the page.

Thanks for reading! laugh

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I actually played around with the ending a bit to get the announcement down to five words lol
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)!

Hi Terry, thanks for reading!

Honestly it never occurred to me to have anything irrevocably horrible happen to Lucy or her baby (the ladies in Hangouts chat assure me that I have some Lex-level evil in me somewhere, but I can't seem to get it onto the page) grumble

I really enjoyed writing Joey's enthusiasm for making sure Aunt Lois stays safe. Apparently her status as Superman's #1 Frequent Flier is even obvious to the tots in Metropolis. I'm glad it made you laugh!

I have little plot bunnies nipping at my heels and a big (for me) multi-chapter one that I'm struggling to finish. I don't know about better, but I'll try not to do any worse huh grin

Hey E! wave

First, off I have to say how much I absolutely love little Joey. I am just in awe of how much he reminds me of Wyatt and his little antics. Great job on your Original Character!

Second, what a delightful twist on this challenge. I love it! This is such a sweet little WAFFY tale and it absolutely made my day!
