Worst Timing Ever

Epilogue

Six Years Later

The glimmer of the city cast a glow around the happy couple as they stood at the altar. The crowd erupted in applause as the two were finally announced to be husband and wife to the crowd for the very first time.

"I now present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Queen," The minister boasted proudly to the small crowd that had gathered on the rooftop of the Metropolis Public Library. The newly married couple began to walk down the aisle.

Lois clapped along with the other guests. She was just as happy for the couple as the other invited attendants but inside, she was breathing a sigh of relief.

She leaned into whisper something into her husband's ear, "Finally, it took them long enough."

Clark smiled at her, "They could say the same thing about us."

Lois rolled her eyes. "They have been dating for twelve years. Once we figured out we were meant to be we quickly decided to make it permanent and not leave our loved ones hanging."

Clark slowly began to nudge her into the aisle as they crowd made its way into lower parts of the library where the reception was being held. As they began to blend in with the other guests, Chloe and Jimmy quickly became visible.

Chloe shared Lois' sentiment. "Finally, they put us out of our misery by finally tying the knot."

Lois turned to Clark and raised an eyebrow, "I told you. They waited way too long; they should have been married years ago."

Chloe and Lois looped arms as they began to slowly trek through the crowd of very important people that had assembled to see the billionaire get married. Although, half of the people there were only interested in Oliver's deep pockets, a faction of the people that attended did care.

So that is why when they found their table it was with the married couple. Lois approached the table, which was one among the many round tables and not a cliché head table, she could see the bride and groom focused on the most important person in the room, their daughter.

Jade was four years old with a mop of curly red hair and sparkling blue eyes. She was currently seated on her father's lap. Oliver looked up as he saw them approaching and smiled warmly, "Hey you guys, did you like the ceremony?"

Jimmy chimed in, "It was beautiful. I am so happy for you."

Tess smiled. "Thanks Jimmy. I appreciate it. Jade, look Junior is coming to sit by you."

"Yep, but to be warned, he did not have his nap today," Chloe said as she put Junior in the empty seat next to Jade's, "So he might be really cranky."

Jimmy Junior was Chloe and Jimmy's two year old son who was the spitting image of his mother but already showed an interest in photography. He was always seen with his play camera hanging around his neck so that he could be just like his father.

Lois sat in her seat and Clark sat next to her.

She had to admit that he was a very charming and sweet little boy. It was a surprise how attached she had gotten to him. Jimmy Junior was constantly over at his Aunt Lois and Uncle Clark's house. Her opinion on kids had drastically changed since the people in her inner circle started having them.

Not only was Junior adorable but Jade was just a wonder to watch as she grew and the affect that she had on making her parents' world seemingly the happiest ever had been was making Lois think about a lot of things lately.

Lois stared at Clark. He was a gorgeous man with the biggest heart of anyone she knew and all she had been able to think was what kind of father he would make. Lois had a hunch that he would be the best father in the world.

The conversation turned to things like the meal, and Tess' dress, and when the cake was going to be served but Lois was lost in thoughts of the last few years.

Since Clark had swept her off her feet in England and brought her back stateside, they had jumped right into a very serious relationship. Lois had no idea what her life would be like if she had decided to stay with Bradley.

It might have been rather comfortable and interesting to most women in the world.

Bradley was handsome and charming and very well off. After all, he was connected to royalty. Even though he had been initially very upset about her breaking off their engagement, he has eased up over the years.

They had been forced to see one another over the years because Lana had ended up marrying his cousin Philip and was currently residing in London with her husband and their first child, Lauren who was only six months old. That was why they had been unable to the attend the wedding.

The most awkward meeting with Bradley had been at the wedding of Lana and Philip which had occurred four years after she had left him at the altar. It was also only two months after Lois and Clark had married in a small ceremony in Smallville.

Now, they had not flaunted their marriage in his face but the rings on their fingers and the hyphen of her last name certainly led Bradley figuring it out.

He had taken it well and according to Lana, he had recently begun dating a young lawyer in London and the relationship was apparently going very well.

Lois was glad to hear it because now, when they ran into Bradley maybe all of the lingering tension would finally evaporate.

Clark turned over his shoulder and glanced at Lois. He must have noticed that she was deep in thought. He leaned back and slipped his hand in hers underneath the table. When Lois felt the contact she looked into his eyes.

He furrowed his eyebrows, "Everything okay?"

Lois shook her thoughts from her head. She leaned into to whisper in his ears. "Actually, I was thinking maybe it's time you and I joined the kiddie club and had a baby of our own, what do you say?"

Clark leaned back to stare into her eyes. The joy reflected in his gaze made Lois tingle with excitement. He raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice, "Yeah?"

She nodded, "Yeah."

Clark leaned in slowly and kissed Lois so deeply that her bones felt the emotion coming from him in that moment. She was not sure what her life would be if she had chosen another path but she knew deep down, that no other path but this would be as happy as this made her right now.

The End.
