recovering from an ordeal

[slayers_desire]

Clark and April had stayed in her home universe. It had been a day since the whole ordeal with the kidnapping and everything. April was still not talking about anything.

In fact, for the last couple of hours, she had stayed in the guest bed that the others had given the couple.

Comments

"I do, but you know me, I worry."

[slayers_desire]

She squeezes his hand. "I know you do. Our child is strong. He or she will be okay."

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"We'll be lucky to keep up with them. Any child of ours is probably going to be a handful."

[slayers_desire]

"I won't comment on that." April chuckled.

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"Hey, it's not my fault superspeed is probably genetic."

[slayers_desire]

"That's my Clark. Going with the clean response to that statement." April just shook her head, laughing softly.

[kalel_ofkrypton]

He chuckles and gives her another kiss. "You're trouble, dear wife."

[slayers_desire]

"Yes I know. Hence my point... you never had any problems handling me." She goes for the joke that was missed before.

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"Yeah, but sometimes you listen to me." When he has good points. Or she feels like humoring him. He's under no illusions that he commands her unquestioning loyalty, and is always amazed that he has it regardless.

[slayers_desire]

"You know me... I like hearing that command voice." April teases him lightly.

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"You would've liked what I had to do to find you yesterday... Lorne made me sing."

[slayers_desire]

"I missed you singing?" April is awed at what he had to do to find her.

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"I did it in Kryptonian. Just so no one would have to hear how bad I was."

[slayers_desire]

April wishes she could have been there. (Of course, that would not have made sense because then he wouldn't had to sing in the first place... but still)

"You know... you could sing to your child."

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"You want me teaching them the Kryptonian equivalent of a football chant this early, huh?"

[slayers_desire]

"Some books says talking to your baby before it is born, helps it learn faster. Why not teach him or her Kryptonian?"

[kalel_ofkrypton]

He looks uncharacteristically shy, just a little. "You won't feel silly having me talking to your belly?"

[slayers_desire]

"No." April has enjoyed the moments when he gently touches her belly. When he kisses it. She finds it sweet. Touching. And sees what a good father he will be everytime he does it.

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"Okay, but don't be surprised if the baby comes out with a terrible singing voice."

[slayers_desire]

Their conversation has been distracting April enough that she doesn't even notice when they return home. "You really that bad?"

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"Maybe sometime I'll let you be the judge of that. It's not like I can sing to the baby without you overhearing right now."

[slayers_desire]

"You do owe me a song." April laughed softly.

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"So I do." He's glad to see a lack of any bad reaction as they arrive back home, and whether or not it's because of the conversation, he's glad either way.

[slayers_desire]

She will hesitate a little at the stairs, most of her memories of dealing with Clark Luthor were in the bedroom after all.

Instead she heads into the kitchen. "I should make a list."

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"What kind of list?" he asks, leaning down to pet Shelby as he comes to greet his favorite humanoids.
