She pushed against me again, this time so hard that I actually had the wind knocked out of me.
Lois is really strong...
I'm so glad that the shouting match happened. Normally, I wouldn't be cheering for a couple to act dysfunctionally, but in this instance, this was a step in the right direction. I was hoping that Lois would finally address his behavior. Clark seems to be at least thinking a bit more, even if his actions haven't actually changed yet.

But Clark actually said something that made me realize that the whole sorry situation isn't 100% his fault, only about 95% his fault
I agree, but I think I'd have to amend the percentages and give 99.89% of fault to Clark. Lois had already done her part in not retaliating with the birthday present. She could have kept the gift to herself once she realized that he hadn't gotten her anything. *And* she's pregnant and hormonal. If we are looking to defend Clark, there *might potentially* be a possibility that Kryptonian men suffer some symptoms when their partners are pregnant...
Yet another evil place to leave us, Carol! *sigh* So not fair. Lois is in labor, only she and Clark are in the room, and something feels weird--and not good weird!! I can't wait until Monday! Surely Lois can't wait until Monday! Here's an idea: you can post tomorrow. I won't complain.

(who wonders if Clark's going to have to play catch seeing as baby Chris is a bit impatient)
