I'm sorry to hear that the baby needs surgery and will certainly put up a prayer for him.
These last few chapters have certainly been emotional given the hint of reality that is mixed in. It all makes me wonder how LnC's relationship can withstand the trials that are coming. I have no doubt that Lois will be needing support from her husband--the last thing she needs right now is his assumed rejection of her feelings to send her over the edge to depression.
That said, I can understand why Clark wouldn't tell her about the convo with Sam, even if he wanted to (in spite of Sam's order). Sure, I think that they are at at point in their friendship where he would tell her something like that, but given the stress she's dealing with--just having given birth and being extremely worried at that point--Clark could have been thinking more about her current state of mind than how angry she would be when the fact that he and Sam talked came out. Then, with the stress of the following months of having a sick baby, his intentions to tell her could have once again been set aside.
Edited to add: I do want to know what he answered to Sam's five-year question though! I can imagine Sam's not going to be nearly as approving of his son-in-law as he has been in the past. End edit.
That inner-teenager of Clark's made me laugh. He sure is fickle. First, he was all about Lana... now he wants to tush-push. I could imagine him whining 'She's your wife!'
So, Nate's being admitted to the hospital. Stress is about to get worse to an exponential power. I hope that Clark lets someone else take care of Christopher for a little while so he can focus on Lois. He needs to stay at the hospital on some of those nights as well. Will that happen? RAFO!
