- AUTHOR'S NOTE -

This story is a one-shot where Lois wants to have a baby with Clark. It has no particular cannon that it is following, which is kinda how I prefer it. That way it lives it in it's own world. Enjoy!

- END NOTE -

You ever had that moment where you ask yourself, "What am I doing?" What am I saying, of course you have. Everyone has. Hell, I have them six times a week! Or is it eight? It's hard to keep track.

Anyway, as I was saying: I had a moment where I asked myself, "Lois, what the hell are you doing?" Not only was I married to an alien, a superhero, but now I was seriously considering having his child. I know that was crazy! Let's set aside the sheer impossibility of humans & kyrptotians having kids for a moment (which I know is hard, but do it anyway) and consider what this would mean. I would be bringing a child into the world where his/her father could die at any moment. He or she would be at risk if anyone would connect the dots between Superman and Clark Kent.

Then again so would I, but I accept that risk. Could I ask the same of a child? It's not like they could control who they are related to. Nor could it choose to have powers or not. That choice would be made before they were ever born.

But I want a child. I want a child with HIM. No one else will do. Would I be forgiven for wanting something so selfish? For wanting something of my own. A piece of him that would always be mine.

No, that's not right. A child can't belong to someone. But they are our future, and I want my future to be one with his.

I believe that we can do it. We can raise a child. And that child will save the world! All you need to do Clark is say yes. We can figure out the rest later . . .
