I can't believe they did that! They weren't supposed to do that until they told each other they loved each other, and that they wanted this to be more than a five-year countdown. Instead, they have an unconventional marriage, that has been consummated, where Lois is in love with her husband, and Clark is still in love with his ex-girlfriend. They really didn't need to sleep with each other. I'm afraid these people had enough complications with their lives. They really have made a mess of things.
Now, Lois has the possibility of being pregnant? As the career driven person that she is, I can't imagine what having two kids before graduating college will do to those dreams. But, this couple would certainly have some success rate in the fertility department...I mean two times creates two babies.
Lois has been depressed since Chris' birth. Some of that may post-partum, but we have heard her voice depression triggers as rejection fears from both Clark and Chris. I can't imagine giving your "virginity" to your husband when you're your most vulnerable, but giving him permission to practically think that you're someone else. I mean how unhealthy is that?
I really wonder about Lois' self-esteem in this story. She truly deserves better and deserves to be happy. Giving her body to Clark, at this stage, will not increase her happiness, it will just worsen her feelings of rejection. This whole situation is beginning to be unhealthy for all involved.
Clark, still tied to Lana, will be guilt-ridden for cheating on his ex-girlfriend. He'll wish the whole event would never have happened, which will send Lois into a tail spin!
Have I mentioned that they shouldn't have slept together at this stage?
It really seems that these people are their own worse enemies. What Navance can do to them pales in comparison to the heartache everyone is feeling!

PS: Carol did say at the beginning of this adventure that she puts her toys back together at the very end. Considering it's December 1st, we have sixty more posts to go. There's so much angst already, I really don't know how things can be happily ever after so quickly. But, I'm ready for the angst to be over.
