Wow I'd never have expected things to turn out that way. Lois nursing Clark - it's just too sexy. Are you sure you don't want to write nfic?
I can't say that I would be adverse to that title, Mellie [Wink] Anyway, I'll see what I can do about earning it...So here you are with part 9. I don't really know what you consider a cliffhanger, but maybe this one does it for you? Huh? [Big Grin]
No, I wouldn't call it a cliffhanger this time. It's rather like having reached the mountaintop and enjoying the view. There are so many possibilities... <Sigh!>
“Whatever happens, don’t send Becky away from me. She wouldn’t understand and she’s already frightened.” His voice was low, barely audible.
Lois assumed that he didn’t want Rebecca to eavesdrop. His tone was urgent and uncommonly bidding.
“What do you mean, Clark?” Lois asked, slightly confused.
“Don’t send her to bed, don’t tell her that she can’t come to see me,” Clark replied.
Lois was about to disagree, to tell him that he needed rest. But she noticed the firm expression on his face, telling Lois that he wasn’t going to give in on that topic. So Lois gave him an affirmative nod.
I so totally loved that part that I had to quote it wholly. I love to see Clark act as daddy. He's truly great at it. (I wish my daughter had a daddy like that. But that's another story altogether.)
“Can you show me where the towels are, Becca?” Lois asked. She remembered that Clark didn’t use her full name when talking to her.
Lois is coming around! Wonderful!
“Can I sleep in your bed?” she asked, shyly.
Becca looked from Clark to Lois, expecting one of them to send her away.
Is this what happened to her when Lily died? Poor girl!
Clark squealed as the cold cloth made contact to his hot skin.
ROFL!
So, when will you be back?
