Nice to see you using Jim as a type of buffer between Lois and Clark. Lois' need to protect Clark from harm is going drive Clark to anger. I think an angry Clark would be a good piece for Lois to contend with as they continue to work around their new relationship.

Excellent as always, Jenni. I'm not quite sure what I think. I'm not sure why... It's not the writing or anything, don't think that, I'm just... conflicted. I guess part of me thinks maybe Clark isn't quite right for investigative reporting anymore. He's been through *so* much over the last few years. Maybe write a book about everything or something. I trust you'll get us wherever it is that we're going and you'll do it well . Carol

Fascinating and a bit painful.
Is Clark the reporter he used to be? Probably not. Is he good enough to satisfy himself and Lois? Good enough to satisfy Lois, yes. Good enough to satisfy himself, probably not. Can he get better at reporting again? Probably. But it is a bit painful to watch.
However, I think that Clark is right. Something was wrong and mysterious about that bomb. Maybe it really was aimed at Lois.
Looking forward to more!
Ann

I like the fact that you're not using an established super villain in this one. Good Job, Jenni, and I look forward to the next update.

Hi, James, so glad you are joining my fdk thread. I'm also happy you like the premise of the two previous stories in this series. I just hope you find that My Wife The Boss lives up to expectations. Carol and TOC, I'm sorry you find my story a bit painful. Clark went through so much in The Forgotten that I felt it would be unrealistic to expect him to get back to normal reporting without problems. However, my story is a journey ... and I do believe in safe homecomings. Yours Jenni

Hi, Well I guess not many people are reading my story, but I would still like to thank those who are taking time to leave me fdk. I'm hoping that some people are still trying to catch up with the prequels and might feel tempted to find out how Lois, Clark and the family are doing now they are all together again. Please, if you are coming late to this story, I'd love to hear from you. And if you are reading and lurking, please pluck up the courage to post. Just a few words would do. Yours Jenni

Sorry about lurking a bit lately. RL has allowed me snippets of time to check the boards and I've been bad about leaving fdk.
I am enjoying the story. Lois and Clark's apprehension about their current situation is palpable and I really feel for them. They've already gone through so much and I think they're both trying so hard to make this work. Of course, their prior experience with Lois as acting editor cannot be helping.
I enjoyed the POV change to the bomber. Not what either Lois or Clark expected, but there is definitely something worth looking into - I hope that Clark and Jimmy can bring him in. It would be a great confidence boost if Clark can do it.
Thanks for posting the story, Brenda

Hi BJ, Thanks for coming out of lurk mode and commenting. You really made my day ... and you started the fdk folder for part 4. I'm so glad you took the trouble to let me know you're enjoying My Wife The Boss, and I hope the rest of the story continues to entertain you. Yours Jenni

Hi Jenni! Just finished The Forgotten and it was a great tale. It looks as if My Wife, The Boss, is going to be a bit more of an "episode" story, ? Or not. Who knows what twists you have up your sleeves for parts 4+ Looking forward to getting around to reading the rest over the next week or two. Oh, and loved the byplay of the kids and the fade-outs on LnC are really sweet, too. Okay, so I'm a sucker for b-plots Michael

Hi Micheal, Thank you for leaving fdk on part 3. I'll have to check up just what happens in that part. It was back in May, and my poor old brain can't quite remember automatically. But it's so nice to let me know you are reading. I hope you have fun catching up. Yours Jenni

Hi Jenni! Yes, lots of fun. You're very welcome from the FDK. I sure get where you're coming from on the FDK front. Don't I know it, remembering what happened why back in a part posted a few months ago. And then you need to check continuity and figure out you have no clue where exactly the scene was Michael
