Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Falling For a Farm Boy (14/16)

From Chapter 15...

The sound of the phone cut across his thoughts. Clark moved to the phone with his lightning fast speed to stop it from waking his Mom or disturbing Lois, wondering who could be calling at such a late hour.

“Clark Kent,” he said.

“Clark, it’s Jack. There’s rain coming.”

“Yes, I know.”

“I’ll be there first thing tomorrow to help you bring it in.”


Thanks for reading!

Corrina.

I’ve been checking a couple of times every day for an update and I was thrilled to see you posted today! Thank you! Thank you! It was worth the wait.

I loved this chapter, especially the discussion between Lois and Lana. It was very enlightening. I’m
glad Lana doesn’t want to marry Clark and that she’s concerned with Clark’s happiness too. I’m still hoping Lois eventually becomes a permanent farm girl. It’s going to be fun to see what happens.

So Jack is coming back. It will be interesting to see what Lois decides to do and if Jack is her half brother.

I’m thoroughly enjoying this story! It’s beautifully written and I love the way you write the characters. They’re different but still the same - if that makes sense. I can’t wait for the next chapter! I love this story so much!

Loved the conversation between Lois and Lana. Can't wait to see what happens next.

I’m feeling a little sad that Martha believes so absolutely Clark would never leave farming. I mean, maybe she’s right, but Lois is also right: What would Clark do if he weren’t toiling under the weight of duty? I want Clark to have a real choice, just like Lois is gearing up to have a real choice. I’m also wondering if Clark is going to take 20 minutes and haul in the rest of the bales and if so, what will Lois’ reporter mind do with the knowledge of his impossible speed.

Great chapter!

I'm so glad that there's nothing romantic about Lana's feelings for Clark (Smallville scarred me for life whenever Lana is mentioned ).

I feel sorry for Clark. He likes living on the farm, but I believe this is not what he dreamed for his life (or he wouldn't have gotten a Journalism degree). I feel like he doesn't even dare to wish for something different because he worries about his mother and doesn't want to leave her alone. It's like the situation with Lana: he was willing to marry her though he didn't love her, just because this is what people expected him to do. He always thinks of other people's needs and not his own. While this is noble, it is sad that he only does what is best for others but never for himself.

It looks like Lois will have to make a decision soon. I hope she doesn't give it up on her feelings for Clark.

So. Lois and Lana talked it out. And Lana is...pulling Lois into Clark's direction. Either because she really wants to use her as a "shield" between her and Clark, so she doesn't need to make a definite decision for herself, or because she realizes these tow have something for each other. Probably both. These two (Lana an dClark) def get a lot of pressure from outside folks of whome it's absolutely not their business but who cares? That's part of the downsides of living in a small town, I assume. But people can crack under it if its getting too much even if its not healthy.
Interesting, Lois still wants to go home but still has not decided when and how. Seems like at this point, she's a bit fooling herself. Cause if she really wanted to leave, she'd probably done at this point. I feel like deep down, seh knows she nedds to make a decision between her work/carreer at the Planet and staying with Clark, but I do think she hasn't totally realized that yet. She's getting closer to that realization though.
Oh, Clark would absolutely be able to get all the hay in the barn and other stuff...but he won't because some people could see it as suspicious. THat must be so frustrating.
Hmm, looks like Clark is getting a little sloppy with his powers around Lois, here and there, to make it more comfortoble for her. And Lois also notices small things ar eoff. Now, in a world tha thas not seen a Superman or anything like that yet, "That guy has powers" won't be her conclusion, obviously, but it's also Lois. Sooner or later, there will be...a consequence of some kind if Clark continues that road.
I feel bad for Clark, that he basically has "no choice" because he feels so responsible for the farm he won't even allow himself to explore other options. Not that I think he dislikes being a farmer, far form it, but this Clark certainly shows a habit to always do what others expect/want from him and priorize it over his own wishes to an extent. I fel ultimately, it should have been his choice, I'm with the others on this - but I also get that life sometimes just doesn't work like that.
What, only two more chapters? I'm seriously not sure how you're gonna close evrything up in just two more chapters. Well, guess we'll find out.

Martha is still grieving for her husband and the life she once had. Still, that's no reason for Clark to give up on the life he wants. As was mentioned by Ultra Woman, he did not spend four years getting a degree in journalism only to live on a farm in Smallville.

Perhaps Clark can move to Metropolis while Jack takes care of the farm?

Lana.

Ouch! Whenever I hear that name I immediately think she's going to be difficult and demanding, happily she is not. So glad she isn't interested in marrying Clark just so he can take care of her and Levi. Honestly, doesn't he get a choice in this case as well?

Corrina, how are you going to resolve all this with only two parts remaining? Looking forward to those next installments.
