Yes, Lois had to give up something she never knew she wanted (the baby), something she had thought she had always wanted (her career as world-famous investigative journalist), and her name.
/slaps head/ The baby was easy. I kind of completely forgot about the rest, though.
Wait! The note he wrote to her when she was blind, apologizing for not telling her who he really was. He had signed it, Love Superman. What had she done with that? She ran to her room and found it still tucked into the pocket of her robe.
Oops/
She would put this with the rest of the chocolate that she had already relocated to Smallville.

And the rest of the newsroom is kind of oblivious? No one’s standing around in shock? Confusion? Despair? Perry’s not rushing to the Planet?
“Cat,” Lois said as her voice shook a bit. “Tell Lucy I think I accidentally took her shower this morning.”
“Oh and Cat,” Lois continued.
“Uh-huh,” Cat had replied.
“Could you tell Clark I need his help, please?”
She sounds very calm to me.
“Once I figured out that he was Superman, I realized he wasn’t the real story, she was. That’s why I went looking for Ultra Woman. Thanks for giving me a reason to stay out of the office.”
*G*
“Tell me who Ultra Woman is!” Cat had demanded on the tape.
Really, Cat? Does this mean Cat’s now in danger of getting dunked into the Hobbs River by Superman?
Clark opened the envelope Lucy had handed to him. The message inside read, Boom! Best of luck replacing your assistant. Intergang
Oh dear. So, what will Lex say when he learns of this? Will this cause a nasty divorce in the once happy Luthor-Intergang family? Will Lois become a widow?
“Your reaction?” Cat asked.
Is that…wise?
“Clark, wait! The body…” she called out to him, but he was gone.
In pieces? briquettes?
Sitting there on his bed was his old letterman jacket from Kansas State. He picked it up and a note fluttered into the air.
Clark,
Thank you for always being my hero. Now, it’s my turn to rescue you.
LL
Is she…? Telling him?
He thought Lucy was lost to him forever. He hugged the jacket tighter. Now, she really was.
