Author's Note: Many Thanks to mithen for Advice, feedback and beta support, please leave reviews I would love getting feedback (I plan on sending the whole story through a second edit before posting the story on fanfic.net so any opinions are VERY appreciated even if they are a bit tough). Also considering my change in my personal events (i.e. me being pregnant) I'm finding it rather hard to continue writing this story so I would appreciate any words of support. I have the story plotted and beta-ed for the next three chapters but after that I'm blocked so anything will be good to hear from my readers. Without further ado here is the next installment

“Complimentary champagne,” a “Complimentary corsage…”
Clark nervously paced the lower level of the suite, “Oh, sure. Everything’s complimentary until you get the bill,” Clark said slightly derisively. ‘I can’t believe I let myself get carried away and not think of the consequences. The ironic thing is that the consequences haven’t even happened yet.’ While still intrigued at the prospect of being a father he was also quite nervous. Never had it been so certain that their coming together would be fated due to his own actions in a future that never happened. Unconsciously he crossed his arms tightly against the whirl of thoughts.
Lois looked over at Clark, ‘I’ve never seen him this wound up before, not even as Clark at his most nervous and shy.’ She walked over to Clark and brushed her hand down his firm biceps lightly to get his attention, “relax Clark…”
“I am perfectly relaxed…” Clark said distractedly.
“Then unclench your fist,” Lois replied gently with a soft smile on her face.
Clark looked down at his hand, slowly unclenched it and took a deep breath to calm himself, ‘I can do this. I can be a father. I can be a part of her life as much as I can while still balancing my duty to the world. But would Lois be able to handle only a part-time father and husband?’
Lois continued oblivious to the internal musings that ran through Clark’s mind. “Listen, we’re reporters, right? We’re here to get a story, right? So loosen up a little. Take my hand when we walk. Put your arm around me like the others do. For instance, at the newlywed’s dinner tonight…”
‘Oh god, there is no way I could handle myself in public yet,’ Clark thought before saying quickly, “We’re not going.”
Lois looked incredulous, “not going? That dinner could be the high point of our whole story!”
“Lois, you saw the sign out in the lobby…”
“Vibrators available on request?”
Clark blushed while thinking, ‘she won’t need that with me,’ and said in a quiet voice, “the other one. The one about the… kissing contest tonight.”
‘Ah so he’s reluctant to kiss me and from all the looks he’s thrown at me it’s definitely something he’s thought about more than just in passing. I bet he’s afraid he can’t hold himself back,’ Lois thought, “Come here Clark and kiss me.”
Clark stared at her with a nervous look in his eyes and gulped, ‘for all that I want to I don’t know if she’s ready for all that would entail.’
Lois slowly moved towards him, her hips swaying slightly in a sultry manner, “Come here Clark…”
“Look I’ve kissed people before, Lois…”
Lois advanced on Clark and backed him up to the wall,”I’ll bet you have. I bet if you just stripped all that shyness and feeble indecision away I would find the heart of a rampaging stud.”
‘Well there’s only one way I can convince her that it’s a bad idea.’ Clark looked down into her brown eyes and slowly put his hand on her shoulder before letting it slip behind her neck bringing her in for a long sweet kiss, chaste but full of potential.
Lois moaned, ‘Wow, Clark is definitely a good kisser at least even if he might not be Superman.’
Clark’s mouth caressed Lois’ lips slowly and methodically. The hand behind Lois’ head held her firmly but gently. Clark took his left hand and wrapped it around her waist pulling her flush to him.
Lois responded by brushing her hands up his muscular shoulders and clasping her hands behind his neck to hold her up. She leaned her head to her right to let her lips get a better angle. Clark’s lips opened to slip his tongue out and lightly caress her own. Eventually he got a hold of himself and pulled away from the kiss. “So… we probably need to talk about sleeping arrangements.”
“Huh?” Lois said breathily coming out of the fog induced by his kiss.
Inwardly Clark smirked, ‘Made her speechless and I didn’t even have to take her flying.’ “Are you sure you want to go through with going to the Banquet Dinner?” Clark said deciding to let the idea of who was going to sleep where drop for the moment. Even if they might find themselves in bed there was no way to know whether or not she would readily respond. Nor was he the kind of guy to try and take advantage of her.
Lois shook her head to get herself together and stepped away from Clark who had dropped his hands away from her. “Of course! Lois Lane never backs down from a challenge and that kissing contest is a major one!”
With a sigh Clark said, “thought so. Why don’t you go change out of your travelling clothes so we can take a tour around the Falls.”
“All right,” Lois said while placing most of her clothes in the wardrobe and pulling out her hiking clothes. She headed towards the small toilet nook before a thought ran through her mind, ‘He might look. I’m not ready for that,’ Whirling around Lois pointed a finger in Clark’s direction, “but no peeking!” Clark sputtered in incredulity over the statement while Lois shut the door with a smirk.
