She's pregnant. Holy Sheep! (as opposed to Cow wink )

Man alive, none of us can take another emotional pregnancy like the last one. What I want these two kids to do is commit to the now. I don't think there is much Clark can do (right now, that is) that would convince Lois that he isn't putting their marriage on the advent calendar, but maybe if they could stop talking about the divorce, Lois can breathe a little. I totally understand her guarding her heart... and her side of the bed with Mt. Pillowmore, but she's a little fragile right now.

As for Clark, he decided to stop thinking about Lana only for it to be revealed that he'd been fantasizing about her. He's the one I want to live in the moment the most. I know he thinks that his teenage inner-self ruminations are harmless, but they're not. Not by a mile.

I want to go back to the talk of love languages for a minute. It appears that Lois touches, whereas Clark spends time. When she feels threatened, she totally removes the possibility of touch (i.e. with pillows). When Clark is upset, he removes himself from the situation (mentally and physically). While I don't think Clark needs to defy Lois when she tells him no, I think he needs to push the envelope at some point. And vice versa. Lois makes assumptions about Clark left and right, and when they do talk, she hears what she expects to hear. Maybe it's time for an intervention... Navance, anyone?
