15 minutes later, Lois parks her car about a yard from the house. She gets out and Clark follows suit still using the towel she gave him to cover up Clark Jr. Lois turns to him and giggles before taking his hand. "You're covered, Hunny. Lighten up a little."

Clark nodded and pulled her inside the front door to the kitchen. Martha turned around hearing the door and smiled. "Back so soon, Sweetheart?"

Lois raised an eyebrow at her new boyfriend at the statement. Clark blushed a little. "Moooom." He whined.

Lois giggled at the blush and found his little whine kind of cute. She kissed his cheek. "Tone down the blushing, Smallville. Otherwise you'll end up with a permanent blush."

Clark looked at her slightly mortified which made her giggle. Martha laughed at the exchange. "Clark? Care to introduce me?"

Coming back to his senses, he looked at his mom. "Sorry. Mom, this is Lois Lane. Chloe's cousin."

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Kent."

"Nice to meet you too, Lois. Chloe's cousin, huh? She never mentioned you before."

"I asked her not to. I don't really like being talked about. She's told me all kinds of things about you guys though. Mostly about Clark and his natural instinct to help people in danger. Even if it gets him killed in the process."

Martha looked a little confused. "What do you mean by that exactly?"

"I mean, he is only human, but yet he prefers to help other people. Even if that means getting himself killed in the process of the help. He prefers others safety over his own."

"Oh." Martha replied feeling a little relieved that Lois didn't know Clark's secret.

"I admire that about him. He saved me from destroying myself trying to go after Chloe yesterday. We had or I guess HAVE this connection that's REALLY hard to explain. We just met and yet, it's like he knows me better than anyone."

"I see what you mean. He has that effect on people."

"I guess. I hope you don't mind, but Clark invited me to stay with you guys until we figure out who killed Chloe and why."

"If you're ANYTHING like Chloe, you can stay as long as you like."

Lois smiled. "Thanks, Mrs. Kent."

"I'll get your bags, Hunny." Clark said and quickly ran out to get them from her car. He had quickly ran upstairs during the girls' chat to change, so he's dressed in pajamas now.

Martha caught his name for Lois and raised an eyebrow. "Hunny?"

Lois giggled. "Long story. I'll tell you another time."

Martha nodded as Clark came back in along with Lois' bags. "Follow me, My Beautiful Lois." He said. Lois giggled and followed him up to his room. "This is my room and you'll be sleeping in here."

"But where will you sleep, Sweetheart? I don't wanna kick you out of your own bed."

"I'll sleep on the couch downstairs. It's not that comfortable, but I can handle it. Besides, your my guest and girlfriend and you deserve the best treatment you can get."

"Aww. Such a romantic. Who knew." She half teased and pecked his lips. "I love you, My Smallville."

He sat her bags down and made some room in his drawrs for her. "I love you too. You can put your clothes in here and if there's anything else you need, just call me. I'll be right downstairs." He said as he started walking out the door.

"Smallville?"

He turned around. "Yes, My Love?"

"Where's the bathroom?"

"Right across the hall. Anything else before I go?"

She shook her head. "No. Thank you though. For everything."

He nodded. "Of course. I'll be right downstairs if you need me." And he was out the door.
