Well done, Iolanthe -
Let me clarify a few details...
Let's see. Canon Clark had to go off to New Krypton. He didn't know that Canon Lois was pregnant. HG Wells comes and tells Lois about the curse. He takes Lois over to the alt-world where she meets alt-Clark and her alternate father.
True. Of course, canon-Clark doesn't know she's pregnant; they made love for the first time the night before he left. She didn't know until 5 weeks later. She shares Alt-Lois's apartment with Sam Lane, Alt-Lois's father, who is a recovering alcoholic and her doctor for the pregnancy. He has come to know her true identity as the Lois of the canon dimension.
Meanwhile, Canon-Lois-of-the-past (the Lois who got amnesia after the wedding that was disrupted by the clone) is moved forward in time. This is non-pregnant canon Lois who is now undergoing the events of Season Four (I think.)
Actually, the substitute Lois (the one we see in S4) is actually 'rescued' by alt-Clark from the moment between when the car hits her and before she bumps her head on the lamp-post... so fraction of a second before she become Wanda Detroit Lois. She needs all her memories to function as Lois Lane. Well, except for those missing three months... which canon Lois told her about in a 'journal.'
Canon-Pregnant-Lois-of-the-present is hanging around in the alt-world. She's going under the name of Lucy El.
She is also working as Alt-Clark's assistant researcher; Ralph is the current Editor of the DP. Lucy El is a secret identity, wife of Kal El, who doesn't wear make-up, does wear baggy clothes, clogs, and is a vegetarian. Mayor Perry knows she's pregnant and James (Olsen) owner of the DP, knows she's married. (but not vice-versa.)
Canon-&-Pregnant Lois knows what's going on in her dimension, because she lives her substitute (younger) self's memories in her nightly dreams.
Alt-Clark likes her but knows he can never have her. Alt-Clark has a thing going with Mayson Drake.
True... for the moment.
Jaxon Luthor works at the Daily Planet as a researcher. He is aware that "Lucy El" is really Lois Lane (but I'm not sure how he knows this.)
True, except he doesn't know that Lucy is Lois. He's confusing her with someone else...
He has a brother, Lex Luthor Junior. Junior and Jaxon compete for Daddy Lex's attention.
Daddy Lex is offstage somewhere - we haven't seen him yet in this fic?
And it's implied that alt-Lois is married to Daddy Lex.
True.
If you aren't completely baffled (and even if you are), read on to Chapter 3, Part 2... it's definately worth it.
Hint: Alt-Clark learns to let go a little...
