“Hey, Lois! How's your husband?”
Sounds innocently enough like a Season 4 story. But what have you cooked up there?
“Lois!” Cat had been passing by, and now paused in mid-swish to lean on Lois' desk. “How's the hubby?”
Why is Cat back? Is it post season 4?
Lois gritted her teeth. “He is fine. Thank you.”
And what's Clark done now?
“Why the sour mood today, Ms. Lane? Did you and your husband have a falling out?” He continued, not realizing that Lois had stilled. “Really, someone ought to put that ungrateful jerk in his place...”
So, what did Clark do? It's got to be something rather minor if he's able to jke about it. Or did she marry Claude, Dan, Lex? All of them?
The cup slammed down onto the desk, sending splashes of coffee across the keyboard. Lois shot to her feet. “That's it!” She grabbed Clark by his necktie. “You! Conference room! Now!”
Or it's Clark, after all?
“It'll be okay,” he said, tugging her into his arms. “Look, Honey, I know this is a lot to deal with, but just hang in there. It'll only be a couple of years. Then, we can start the divorce proceedings and---”
Divorce? And he's so calm? What going on between them?
“Lois?” Clark reached for her shoulder. “Lois, Honey, what's wrong? Tell me.”
Okay, so they're in honey with each other but consider their marriage to be a problem?
“I don't think this is just going to be for a couple years.”
“Why do you say that?” he asked in surprise. He covered her hand with his own. “Did you hear something from the INS? Is there a problem with the green card?”
Greencard? Did you go off and took lessons from Wendy?
“Clark...I...I'm pregnant.”
Oooh...
Cat rolled her eyes. “Ralph, don't be ridiculous. Lois would have to be crazy to cheat on Superman!”
Oooh...
So, where's the rest? And why would Clark consummate the marriage with Lois if they're considering a divorce?...
a long time later...
/slaps head/
Originally, Lois wanted to divorce Superman so she and Clark could get married officially and have a regular family. Only now she's carrying Superman's child instead of Clark's and when she's divorcing Superman... Well, first of all the child's going to be gangster bait. Second of all, Superman, Lois, and Clark are all going to look bad because of the divorce since a floating child is involved. Yep, that's a mess. Did I already mention that you need to finish this?
