Well, the baby is born and healthy, and so is my sister. Noah was 8 pounds seven ounces at birth and is a beautiful baby (though described tersely by his twelve year old brother as wrinkled.)

Thanks for those of you who have held on this long. We're in the final stretch here. Let me know what you think!

Hi,

Congratulations to the family!

Shane, this is great and congratulations! A healthy fat wrinkled baby!

I felt like I was on Spencer Spencer's Island. Please hurry and post the next part!

Wow Congrats Uncle Shayne! That is wonderful news. I am sure you are going to be the best Uncle any kid could have!

Meanwhile... I loved this part of the story. Very romantic and Lois is dead on! Clark has to let Lilah take some fault here and let go of his guilt. He needs to put the shoe on the other foot.

I love that Lois is so good for him.

And I loved how you left off with this.

I am looking forward to the rest but enjoy that new little baby! Laura

Congrats!!!

Love this part, even though Clark's mental walls are frustrating, at least he isn't shutting Lois out.

Congratulations Uncle Shayne.

I really liked this section. (Read what James said.)

Lois and Clark needed some time together...a date if you will to get some important stuff cleared up. And Lois is right: Clark needs to talk to someone because he's carrying a heavy burden.

I thought back to the opening parts of the story and it now surprises me that Clark was so "normal" on his date with Lois. None of his hang-ups were evident. (As readers we had no clue that he had major issues.) I wonder if there needs to be something subtle nagging at him about his dating and interest in a woman. (Or was there something subtle that I missed because I was enjoying their interaction so much? Or was it written from Lois's POV?) It's been a while since I read the beginning.

Anyway, help Lois and Clark catch the bad guys and help Clark get over his hang-ups.

Love this! A truly powerful ending to this part!

Great part! It was sweet and beautiful!
Lois's love can help Clark's healing, but he needs to talk to someone to get over his guilt - Dr. Friskin, maybe?

More soon, please!
