First of all, of course the "other shoe" is going to drop eventually. It's called life. And life isn't always as happy as they are right now. They'll have external problems (with stories, with Trask(who is long overdue for entrance), with their kids, with Perry, etc.) And they'll have internal problems with each other.
Any couple that believes they will never have any problems because "we already had our problems getting together" or "we're soulmates" or "we're so compatible" are setting themselves up for disappointment. (rather than a commitment to work through their problems.)
Of course, I think Lois's definition of "the other shoe dropping" is different than mine and maybe Clark's as well.
I hope when a problem DOES occur she doens't take it as a sign that Clark doesn't really love her.
And I still maintain they "jumped the gun" as far a lovemaking is concerned. He did go a long way to show he was serious in the last chapter of "On the Other Hand." But Lois obviously still has some doubts, even though she trys not to think of them when their "in the heat of the moment."
But given the fact that she still has doubts, I think the fact that the had sex multiple times this night (and what ever may happen with that in upcoming chapters), is going to come back to haunt her (and Clark to, consquently) when she sees the "other shoe" drop.
I'm glad Clark isn't keeping any secrets from Lois anymore. He told her about his thought process concerning her, his worry about what happened when they had sex/made love the first time, his conversation with his brother about Kryptonian mates. Hopefully, this will be a policy he will keep, not just something he does when it's convenient.
And I love the "date" idea. And I'm glad Clark explains he doesn't want something "idealic" with Lois, he wants something REAL.
