Another great chapter. I like the totally different vibe there is when Clark doesn't have to keep his secret, when Lois knows right from the beginning.
"So you remember that I'm... different?" He still didn't look at her.
It seems as if there hasn't been any discussion about her publishing the secret - obviously. First, she's pregnant with his child. Second, in the absence of Superman, it's not as newsworthy. Certainly an alien would be newsworthy, but all we have is a good-looking guy who says he's an alien. No proof. Right?
I like how you capture Clark's hesitancy (and fear!) about revealing himself, all in that one little line.
And now he was staying with her for a few days.
That *did not* mean he was going to end up in her bed. Even if he was her husband.
Tee-hee! So you say, Lois, but you are at the mercy of the Queen of Tantalizing Moments.
Again, great move bringing Lucy into the mix. She forces L&C to sleep in the same bed. And poor Lois! Her apartment is Grand Central Station - everyone that comes to Metropolis hangs out in Lois's apartment!
He's borrowing your toothpaste. You don't let *me* use your toothpaste."
"That's because you squeeze it in the middle."
Go, Lois! That's my pet peeve too!
And the preview: I have found, that when someone asks, "What were you thinking?" - never a good sign. Argument to follow.
You've got me hooked! Please post more soon!
