As you can probably tell by now, the prologue occurs some time after this chapter. I hope this eases some concerns even as it raises others.

And yes, I anticipate some pointed feedback.

I'm super excited about this fic! The risque beginning is more daring than I'd write, but I admit I loved every word! And it's all so well written, too!

Got nothing negative to say!

Anecdotally, I will point out that Lynn just posted a fic dealing with Lois' issue in 'Full Partners.' Though that was more tightly in the context of the episode, 'We have a lot to talk about,' it's interesting that this issue has come up in two totally different stories so recently.

Looking forward to more!

I am also excited to see where this story will go!

And I don't have anything negative to say either!

i remember 35 and the associated angst. great job!

Their love seems so idyllic... gee, could something possibly go wrong?

First, hahaha @ Iolanthe's comment.

Second, yikes! How in the world does it come to what we see in the prologue? You've definitely brought up a lot of questions. It's especially interesting to see Lois so insecure when she's alone alongside of being happy when she's talking to Clark. I guess the child thing is really weighing on her.

I'll be interested in seeing where in the world this is going!!
