Clark glanced up from his desk, letting his gaze rest for a second on his partner as she typed the keys to send the story to their editor. He smiled reflexively at the self-satisfied grin on her face.

Lois felt his eyes on her and looked up slowly. Their eyes met and locked for a second before Lois yanked her eyes away, blushing shyly. 'Get a grip Lane!' she told herself sternly. She couldn't believe she was acting like a silly school girl. This was just Clark. Well not *just* Clark…that wasn't what she meant. He was a pretty incredible guy, she didn't mean to imply that… But, he was just *Clark*…her best friend. She'd never felt giddy around him before.

Clark moved instinctively, pulling Lois back, closer even then before. "Lois…" he whispered, looking deep into her eyes and raising his hand to cradle her face again.

"Clark…" Lois replied shakily, anticipation still battling back the nerves and fear just beginning to emerge.

Clark needed no further encouragement. In one swift move he lowered his face and captured her lips with his. Lois melted completely against him, surrendering completely to his touch. Clark ran his hands through her hair and deepened the kiss, emotions threatening to overwhelm him as he felt Lois respond hungrily. She opened her mouth and moaned softly as she felt his tongue slip into her mouth.

They basked in the glow of the kiss for another minute before pulling away. Clark caressed her cheek again and smiled. Lois smiled and ducked her head shyly. Clark took a ragged breath to clear his mind.

Leaving the sliding lock bolted, Lois opened the door a crack and peeked out. "Lucy! What are you doing here?" Lois exclaimed, unlocking the door and opening it wide. "I thought you weren't going to come to Metropolis for the holidays because you were staying with your boyfriend."

Lois was stunned when Lucy simply began to cry. "Oh, Lois. It's so complicated. I'll tell you everything, but first there's someone I want you to meet."

Lois watched in utter disbelief as Lucy reached down just outside the door, and lifted a baby carrier holding a sleeping infant.

"Lois, this is Jacob. My son."

Look, you have to help me out. You're the only one I can go to, Lois. Come on! You're my only sister!"

"Lucy!" Lois began as Lucy stood and picked up the two larger suitcases.

"I'll be back as soon as I can." Lucy brushed a kiss across the forehead of the still sleeping infant. "Mommy loves you, Jacob, but she can't take care of you right now. Auntie Lois will take good care of you. Be a good boy."

Lois sat in shock as Lucy headed quickly for the door. "Lucy, wait! Lucy! How will I get in touch with you? When are you coming back? Lucy!" Lois called, going after her. Lucy quickly ducked out the door and disappeared down the hall.

"Oh, God! How in the world am I going to take care of him? I don't know the first thing about babies… Clark! Clark will know what to do!" Lois, nearly hysterical at this point, dashed for the phone and quickly dialed Clark's number.
