I was going to leave you with a bit of a cliff hanger (wondering if Lois had a boy or a girl or if everything went all right), but then I thought - no. This is where this section should end - with the first meeting between mother and son. (See - I’m not completely evil. I have a mushy side, too.)

Lois stared down in wonder at the bright eyes looking back at her and decided in that moment that only one name seemed to fit. “Charlie,” she said.

Another wonderful part, and what a great way to end it. Now you need to come back and satisfy us on Clark's side of the tale! laugh

Another great part! So she named him Charlie, uh? Bet that'll jog the memories of some of the girls who thought they knew who the father was. What's going on with Clark? We haven't seen him in a couple of parts. I love this story so far and can't wait to find out what happenes next. Any chance of getting the next part early? grovel


I heart Clark Kent.

Back for another two cents worth, LOL.

I was thinking... Clark hasn't been back to 'visit' Lois in at least 6 months. Now I really am wondering what has been happening with Clark in the future!

Seems to me that Lois is subconsciously remembering Clark, but she just doesn't realize it. Wonder what it will take to trigger full memory!

Loving where you are taking this story. Keep the parts rolling on in.

I do hope she remembers something soon, maybe some of the sorority girls will help jog her memory.

Looking forward to the next chapter. Hoping its early.

That was a lovely, moving chapter. Sam and Ellen's reaction to Lois was heartbreaking. Perry's, though, was wonderful. He is assuming his role as surrogate father to Lois. It is a role that suits him so well.

And the sorority girls assumed the role of Lois's surrogate sisters, or at least they stood up for her and supported her. That too was wonderful. And they, her sorority sisters, figured that they knew who the father of Lois's baby is. I'd say they are right. Lois, you should ask them.

And the baby is a boy! And Lois named him Charlie! That was the best thing of all here. Yes, some part of Lois does remember Clark.

I was really touched by the sorority sisters. Having a baby in college is rottenly difficult even now, but imagine 1988.

Maybe 1997 isn't all blown up because of time paradoxes. Maybe it's all blown up because Lois didn't even *investigate* the Congo story, and the gunrunners became nukerunners who blew everything up.

I also think that Lois' subconscious remembers Clark - but because she knew him as Charlie longer than as Clark, the name "Charlie" somehow stuck - and it was so sweet of her to name the baby Charlie! clap

Great that the sorority sisters supported Lois like that smile

Will the next part be Clark's perspective and what happened in 1997?

clap clap clap Well done.

Well, it’s odd... but I think one or two of them think they know who the father is.”

“Are they saying it’s Stafford?”

“No. In fact, one of them asked me if it was that guy who was hanging around here for a week or so last November.”
Quote
she stared in awe at the cute little denim overalls and leather jacket Linda had given her. They reminded her of her baby’s daddy.

So when Clark shows up and Charlie looks just like him...
But then I got to thinking, if Lois doesn't die in the congo there won't be any opening when Clark applies. so he will end up in another city working with Linda King, who will recall she'd seen him somewhere and who when she see Lois and her son Charlie....

First, to deal with a subject I raised in the comments for the last part... What does Beta Beta stand for?

Michael guessed: Boobs and Booze.

That was incorrect.

Lynn guessed: Beers and Babes

Also incorrect. Then Lynn asked:

Quote
If not, are Michael and I on the right track at least?
Sort of, but... there is no 'and' between the two words.

Anyway, I'm enjoying the comments. And for those of you wondering... Clark will indeed get some face time in the next section.

I did miss Clark this part but I do understand why you couldn't include him. After all, then we would have known that Lois didn't abort or offer Charlie up for adoption. As if.

As for why he hasn't shown up. Well, if this new timeline means Lois will be safe and sound till they meet again he wouldn't come back just to tell her she wasn't raped and that the kid is his and drop off some money. Which would probably be forgery anyhow. One needs to keep things in perspective here.

I do wonder if Sam and Ellen are simply trying to enforce their will or if they do it because they don't want Lois to raise a child they think was conceived by rape. And how did they know about the GHB, as in, did Lois tell them after Clark was gone that she was the one drugged but got away?

Perry was great. LOL on the amendment. Isn't it great if the law protects you from having to admit to your fluffy side? And allows you to teach a hotshot reporter a lesson.

The broken water scene was hilarious.

I kept wondering about Lois moving into the sorority house. Say, is Ellen also paying for it?

Plus Linda of all people dropped the first hint about the father shock

As for the quotes...
Quote
He was a guy I met around that time. He was just visiting some friends at the University. One thing led to another and... It was only once, but I guess you know what they say, once is all it takes.
To be fair, she did try more than once laugh

Quote
“I’m not joking,” Lois objected. “Once is sometimes all it takes. Or was something left out of the sex education you gave me?”
Yes. Condoms. And what they are meant for.

Quote
Molly tilted her head as she studied the baby. “Yeah, I guess I can see that. Well, Charlie... how exactly do you feel about being the first male member of Alpha Nu Rho?”
/C-3PO voice/ Wonderful! We are now a part of the tribe.

And even if it's pointless, I'm going to reiterate my plea for you to show mercy to your poor, tortured followers.

Oh, and did I mention I loved the part, even if I kept reading with the tightly knotted stomach?

A truly sad turn of events.

Another terrific part!

How about "Bagging Babes" or "Bedding Babes" for Beta Beta? Or maybe just "Bad Behaviour"?

Lynn is the closest so far, but still no cigar.

Tank - I did consider putting a 'Tank Warning' on this story (of course, I would have meant something different by it than is normally meant by such a warning. laugh ). Would it help to know that when Lois realized she was pregnant, she got her hair cut to make it easier to take care of? laugh
