Unexpected news can be the best

April felt a little tired after she came home from her shopping experience. Mostly, it was the fact that she had gotten sick that made her so tired.

But at the same time, the realization of why she had gotten sick had made her feel a little energized all at the same time.

Jonathan, who was four now, and Laura, who was two, were both happy to see their mother. Especially since she detailed a plan for them to make cookies for their father -- when he came home from work.

Of course, baking with two toddlers was an interesting experience. The toddlers were going to be covered by flour. And Jonathan is liking the spoon too.

But the cookies are just going in the oven when Clark gets home.

When he opens the door and smells cookie dough, he half-expects to see his mother in the kitchen.

"Daddy!" Jonathan says, running to hug Clark, smudging him with flour.

Clark laughs and picks him up. "Were you helping Mommy bake today?"

"I think it's too late," Clark says with a smile. "I've been floured by proxy."

Jonathan giggles, leaving white handprints on his daddy's jacket.

"Special, huh? What's the occasion?" Clark sets Jonathan down and picks up Laura. "That cookie looks good," he tells her. "You did a good job."
kalel_ofkrypton: (Paying attention)

[personal profile] kalel_ofkrypton 2015-08-17 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It takes Clark a moment for that news to actually sink in. "We are?"
kalel_ofkrypton: (Adorable smile)

[personal profile] kalel_ofkrypton 2015-08-17 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, wow." He lets out a laugh as a thought occurs to him. "It's a very good thing we've already moved."
kalel_ofkrypton: (Kiss 2)

"Not yet, sweetie," Clark says with a smile.

He can't resist giving April a kiss. "We did say we wanted a big family..."
kalel_ofkrypton: (Amused as hell)

[personal profile] kalel_ofkrypton 2015-08-17 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not rolls, Mommy, cookies!" Jonathan protests.

Clark laughs. "Those too, buddy."
kalel_ofkrypton: (Family time)

[personal profile] kalel_ofkrypton 2015-08-17 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
And of course Clark has to take one or two for himself. "Another baby... wow." He's still in mild shock over that.
kalel_ofkrypton: (Can't get away with nuthin')

[personal profile] kalel_ofkrypton 2015-08-17 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"Me too. You'd think after two, we'd be entitled to skip the morning sickness," he says, taking a bite of the cookie.
kalel_ofkrypton: (Impending parenthood)

Clark thanks her for each one, although he slips most of them back when the little girl isn't looking. Can't eat the whole batch in one sitting, after all.

He gets a flash of surprise, though, when he remembers something. "When Brainiac-Five took me to the future, Lex was President and you were pregnant."

"I'd almost forgotten about that... it was a long time ago." Back before Jonathan was born, indeed.
kalel_ofkrypton: (Superman: Above the city)

[personal profile] kalel_ofkrypton 2015-08-17 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
He thinks back, remembering the experience, both in his past and coming up in the future, sometime in the coming months. "The nuclear reactor on the outskirts of Metropolis is going to have a crisis, but it's nothing I won't fix. We'll have to borrow my past self to help keep a helicopter from crashing, but it's no big deal. The really important thing is that you need to give him - me - a pep talk."
kalel_ofkrypton: (Black Blur: Love)

[personal profile] kalel_ofkrypton 2015-08-17 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"You'll do a great job, telling me just what I need to hear." He smiles and gives her another kiss. "When we get closer, I'll let you know exactly when you need to be in my office to meet me."
