A taste of Chapter 8, Part 5...
Clark followed, shutting the door and closing the blinds. Jimmy stood next to the table, arms crossed.
“Where did you and Lois get a baby?”
Clark pulled the photos out of his pocket and sat down at the table with them. There was no way he was ever telling anyone where Lara really came from. “She’s adorable, isn’t she?” He flipped through the photos. “Awe. This one with Lois and I that’s the one for my desk.”
“CK!” Jimmy slammed his hand on the table. It wasn’t like him to stand up to Clark that way. “I went out on the line for you, I deserve an explanation.”
Clark sighed. “Someone left her by our front door.”
“You aren’t planning on keeping her, are you?”
“Why not?” he asked.
“She belongs to someone else.”
“No, the note clearly read ‘Lois and Clark, this baby belongs to you.’ Finders, keepers.” He grinned.
Jimmy shook his head. “CK.”
“What do you want me to do, Jimmy? Put her up in an orphanage? That’s never going to happen.”
“Find her parents.”
“We are her parents.” About this one point Clark would never waver.
Please post feedback here. Thank you.
