Please, please don't hit me! All I'll say is that we haven't reached the end of the story, so anything could still happen.

Sorry this isn't longer, but I'm short of new material at the moment.

Yvonne,

I know it seems like I'm coming late to the party, but I have been reading along avidly.

Just finished this part, and couldn't NOT comment on how gut-wrenching it is, in all the right ways.

So horribly sad, but so beautifully done. And completely in character.


You are really gifted. I am eagerly awaiting what comes next.

CC

Oh, Yvonne! No, I'm not going to hit you, but you have me in tears.

Looking forward - cautiously - to the next section. Maybe a miracle will occur...

KathyM (who has just realized that I idiotically neglected to comment on the previous section. Well, let me tell you belatedly that, like everyone else, I loved it! Clark's reaction to the red kryptonite was hysterical and he made such an adorable drunk. Don't know how I missed the comments folder earlier...)

Excellent part

That's blackmail

more soon,

Jose

What more is there to say?

Hi,

Great part.

*sob* I expected this outcome, but it still doesn't prepare me for it. You say it's not the end, so I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens next. So hurry up!

Interesting.

Tank (who likes the fact that Lois isn't ready to become a baby machine just to 'please' Clark or 'replace' Jon which they are both smart enough to know would not be the case)

Remember, you promised us a happy ending for everyone

This was so sad. And it will be even more sad for Jon. Especially not having a mommy.

Please keep posting soon!

Yvonne

This part is heart-wrenching. Their conversation is beautifully written. I like how CK realizes why they're crying.

I can't wait to see what happens next.

more soon please

Lucky me (or something like that)...the power outage has forced me to remain home (where I *do* have power) and I can play on the boards.

Yvonne, this is both heartwrenching and exactly what I would have expected them to do. I realize there's probably a twist or two to even out the emotions at the end, but this was magnificently done.

Best,
Sherry

Well, phew. You didn't hit me.

You also didn't seem to think this was too sudden, so that's a relief, too. I wanted to move the story along, but I also didn't want it to feel rushed.

A few points to answer:

I know exactly what you mean, Kathy. I'm not sure I like it either, but then I'm not sure if there is a solution we *will* like. (/me thwaps herself yet again for coming up with this story idea).

'Purpose' didn't really come into it, Maria. If you remember, CK virtually forced Wells to hand over the device.

I'm working on it, Trenna, I promise!

Thank you! And you've been peeking into my hard disk, haven't you, Sherry?

Thanks to all of you for your continued support. I really do get a tremendous boost from reading all your comments, even if I'm a little tardy in replying to them.

Yvonne
