Hehe. Love this.

aw! what else can I say?

Maria

*Giggles* Loved this fic!

Amazing fic! Loving it!

very cool story, i really like it; your writing style, the storyline and especialy the end ;) no i am going on readint the "first" part

AW. That is the most adorable thing I've ever read.

And she's calling him Clark! /me confusded but glad. I guess she was just calling him Kal-El because they were in the Fortress, the heart of his Kryptonian nature.

‘please, underestimate me, I’m cute and clueless’ ROTFL!

Great story.

Lovely! And don't think that I didn't catch that little "when the twins were missing" line.

Interesting that you've had him take Kal-El has his "real" name, the name that Lois calls him. He even referred to "Clark" in the third person. I always think of Clark as his real name, just as I think of the Kents as his real parents.

This chapter was possibly even sweeter than the last! I could practically ~feel~ the warmth. The love these characters have for one another fairly radiates off them. It’s really amazing how clearly you can portray emotions. Oh, how I hope and pray this is the future of LS…they deserve this happiness after all the crap they’ve gone through. I only hope Richard gets his happy ending as well. Cheers!

MMQ: “If that frikkin’ hologram convinces him to … if he’s that stupid again, especially after last night, I’ll just strangle him and do the whole world a favor. Oh, one of these days I’m going to use that damn father crystal for target practice!” I don’t blame her! Jor-El may mean well, but he’s in no way infallible!
“ ‘It is through loving her that I come to love all of humanity even more.’” Seriously.
“‘Upon you and your family, I bestow a mother’s blessing of love. Love is the key that unlocks so many doors, my son. Cherish it…’” Beautifully spoken! I love that you’ve given Lara a say!
“‘All of a sudden I remember why I don’t argue with you.’” Hah!
“‘Told you we were in her range,’ Clark said to Lois, and she stuck her tongue out at him in return.” I love this image!
“Martha cut Clark a knowing look, but didn’t say anything more. Her point had been made.” Mothers are all-knowing.
“‘You’re part of their lives now, that’s what matters. And having you for a dad is the coolest gift they’ll ever get. Honestly, it does wonders for me, too.’” Aw.
“You’re a better b.s. artist than your son, Mrs. Kent.” Hehe.
“The dark-haired woman laughed, quickly making a snowball behind her back. ‘I’d love to, honey, but let’s have girls against boys instead. Okay, Kala?’ The snowballs hit Clark and Jason simultaneously.” HAHA! Girls rule, boys drool? ;)
“As Lucy grabbed Lois’ hand and started showing it around like a courtroom exhibit, and Lois scowled like a cat dropped into the bathtub, Clark met Ron’s eyes above the excited women’s heads. The other Lane husband just grinned and gave him a thumbs’ up. From the mutter of excited voices, Ella’s was suddenly clear. ‘Good Lord, Lois, you aren’t pregnant again … are you? Two more babies within a year – that’s all we need!’” AHAHA! You gotta love the Lane-Kents.
“Clark’s jaw dropped. Lois’ head smacked into her palm. ‘What else?’ the dark-haired woman muttered. ‘Mom? You shackin’ up with the mailman or something?’” HEHE.
“‘CLARK! Jason! Get this god … forsaken lizard out of my tree!’” Ah, that darn lizard. Always providing for plenty of laughs!
“‘But never on a major holiday. God. Christmas with the Lanes, ladies and gentlemen.’” You know you love it, Lois. ~I~ love it!

It’s so lovely to read such a ~happy~ chapter! I hope, hope, HOPE this is the future of LS, ‘cause this is just so gosh darn awesome and squeeworthy! Really, I have no words. Let it suffice to say that it puts a big smile on my face, this chapter. A BIG smile. :)

MMQ: “No visions of sugarplums there, only Jason’s stubborn belief that Superman knew Santa Claus.” Of course he does. He’s Superman! He knows everybody! Hehe.
“‘You sure it won’t make the ducks explode? Alka-Seltzer does, you know.’” HAH!
“One dark eyebrow lifted momentarily, as if to say, Notice, observant reporter, that I didn’t say sleep.” Hehe. I love Lois.
“‘As fast as you drive, I can fly faster. Come here, love.’” I dunno why, but I adore this line.
“‘Okay, be cute, keep secrets…’” Oh, the irony.
“‘Mommy says no man ever could figure what a woman was thinking,’ Kala retorted proudly.” Damn straight, Kala!
“The smooth cadence of his voice told her he had rehearsed this moment for quite some time.” Aw, Clark.
“‘We can’t stay up here forever, looking at the stars together, and I want you to have something to remind you of my love when we come back down to earth. Because I always love you, no matter where we are or what I’m doing or who I have to be at the moment. Lois Lane, will you marry me?’” SQUEE!
“‘All you really need in life are a few simple things: the twins healthy and happy, a story to chase, and the knowledge that if you really, totally, completely, absolutely, utterly have to have one … you can smoke a cigarette.’” He knows her almost as well as she knows herself!
“The expression on his face was one she’d treasure for the rest of her life. Relief, a little surprise, and overwhelming joy. He hugged her even tighter and kissed her hard, kissed her laughing smile. And then, with a strange combination of delight and solemnity, he slipped the ring onto her finger.” This paragraph makes me all kinds of happy.
“‘They’re good at keeping secrets. Wonder who they get that from?’” HAH! Good one.
“‘There’s another reason right there – as Jimmy would say, the Kents don’t leave ‘baby mamas’ running around.’” AHAHA! Coming out of Clark’s mouth and all!
“‘If you insist – but I’m warning you, Lois, we’re actually going to have this wedding, if my mother has to prod you down the aisle with a shotgun.’” What an image!
“Oh, now I definitely know what he’s up to. How can I not love this man?” (Insert gushy sighing here.)
“ ‘It’s one thing out of uniform, but this is like, ‘Oh my God, Superman is hitting on me!’ I feel like I should squeal like a high school girl or something.’” Heh. Squeal away, Lois.
“Lois’ eyes widened again. ‘All of a sudden I’m reminded of Perry’s cheesecake comment the other day. Try and make it sound a little less scandalous, would ya?’” HAHA!
“‘And quite a few other things, as I recall.’” Loaded comment indeed!
“‘You just omit like hell.’” Ah! Nice one, Lo.
“Hazel eyes met cerulean and there were no more words between them until the candles had burned down…” Lovely. Absolutely lovely.

What a great story. Loved his proposal. :D and the twins are adorable.

On with Part Two...

'Burrowed down into the warmth of the bed, Lois whimpered softly in her sleep, moving to curl into her lover and chase the cold away.' - Ah, domesticity. Makes me think of my own bed and the warm sheets... currently in... the... washer... *facepalm*

'“Again you would defy me? Did you learn nothing from your prior mistake, my son?”' - Aw, CRAP! It's like SII mixed with an odd feeling of deja vu! ARGH!

'In desperation, she snatched up the uniform top and yanked it over her head.' - A la SII:DC. Noted. : )

'“Through you, Kal-El, our glory lives on in your new home. Upon you and your family, I bestow a mother’s blessing of love. Love is the key that unlocks so many doors, my son. Cherish it…”' - *wibbles* Aw, this was beautiful! I really loved this part. Almost makes Lara's part in SII more bearable! : D

'Just as he reached the threshold, his uniform came flying at him, the shirt catching him right in the face.

“She shoots, she scores!” Lois crowed, scrambling into her clothes.' - Buahaha! Classic Lois and Clark!

'She would’ve yelled at Kala for setting up a Grinch trap and catching Daddy, but she was too busy laughing hard enough to cry.' - OMG, this scene is brilliant! What a hoot for the twins to have a trap set up! Haha!

'Somewhere up the hallway, Lois stifled laughter as Clark simply replied, “About as well as expected.”' - *giggles and waggles her brows*

'And having you for a dad is the coolest gift they’ll ever get. Honestly, it does wonders for me, too.”' - Aw...

'In a way, he’d imagined having a son even when he thought it was impossible, a boy to whom he could pass on his legacy as Jor-El had passed on his own knowledge. But he’d never envisioned Kala, never realized how much a man could love his daughter.' - Beautiful picture of fatherhood. Just beautiful.

'“Good Lord, Lois, you aren’t pregnant again … are you? Two more babies within a year – that’s all we need!”' - *laughs*

'“Ugly ol’ dinosaur-wannabe,” Kala murmured in fond tones. “Jason’d kill me if he caught me pettin’ his stupid lizard.”' - *laughs harder*

'“What else?” the dark-haired woman muttered. “Mom? You shackin’ up with the mailman or something?”' - *still laughing hard*

'“CLARK! Jason! Get this god … forsaken lizard out of my tree!”' - *ROTFLMBO!!*

'“Cute,” Lois said, and they were already swaying to the music.'- Oh! It's the dance! *squeals happily*

'“For once I’ll stay home and keep an eye on the kids while you go save the world. Ron’s world, anyway.”' - Lois CAN multi-task, after all...

Lois, you know how much I adore this fic, but seeing it here in its completed form only makes it better. What a wonderful addition to the 12 Days community, and an even better addition to the holiday fics everywhere! Bravo!

Now, there's another 'dance' around here that needs some attention... *hinthint, nudgenudge, pushpush, shoveshove* ; )

Holy cow! Could it be that I'm JUST NOW noticing that these are here?! *facepalm* So sorry, ladies! I'll get right to it!

'No visions of sugarplums there, only Jason’s stubborn belief that Superman knew Santa Claus.' - Why not? They both fly, share an affinity for red, have... jolly... laughs... *get confused and scratches head*

'“From the look of them, they were translated into English from Korean by a Mexican.' - This STILL cracks me up. How many times have I thought something like that myself? Ha!

'“I have no idea why Mom likes the weasel and the dinosaur. Probably because she doesn’t have to clean up after them.”' - BAH! Would certainly change my opinion about them, that's for sure!

'One dark eyebrow lifted momentarily, as if to say, Notice, observant reporter, that I didn’t say sleep.' - Uh, *I* noticed. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? : D

'She could only look at him with a stunned expression for a moment before closing her eyes heavily, groaning. The savior of the human race, ladies and gentlemen.' - HA!

'“And you’re going to go shopping in the uniform?” Lois said, arching an eyebrow as she walked toward him.' - Oh, God... now THAT'S comedy! I can picture him going through WalMart in that uniform with a shopping cart in front of him... *giggles*

'...he was taking one hand off her waist and reaching into the pocket in his cape.' - Ah, heading into the world of the novelization? Or did he have this in the comics, too?

'“Lois,” Kal-El said softly, and his true self was speaking to her, neither of his disguises.' - Oh, good line! I like thinking of that! : D

'All you really need in life are a few simple things: the twins healthy and happy, a story to chase, and the knowledge that if you really, totally, completely, absolutely, utterly have to have one … you can smoke a cigarette.”' - GOD, I love this man. He knows everything about her, and even things like the motherly side of her (which is something he's only known for a 'while'). He's so dedicated to little details.

'Give me a ring that looks a lot like the one thing on this earth that can harm you.”' - Look closer, Lois. I have a feeling it means more than that. I believe he's marking her as the one thing on this Earth that can bring him to his knees. Am I right? Even close? A little? : )

'There’s something to put on your resume, Lois – ‘I was Superman’s baby-mama’.' - God, this still makes me break into a giggle-fit whenever I read it. Baby-momma... *snort!*

'Far below and behind them, Kala frowned and said, “Jason, we gotta remember to ask Uncle Jimmy what a baby-mama is.”' - And I SILL love this addition! Including the kids is SO Clark and so wonderfully perfect!

'“I love you,” he replied. “Want a strawberry?”' - Yup, it's official. I'm in love with this man. Here she goes, borderline insulting him, and he just keeps going. Gotta love him. *hugs Clark*

'“I am not,” he protested. “I’m practically the definition of a good man. Including a healthy sexual desire for the woman I love.”' - *bursts out laughing* Yeah, I'd say that's pretty healthy! Being able to fly and lift things helps too! : D

'the underwear I wore during that interview weren’t supposed to be pink, either… M, that’s nice… I’d washed them with my red blouse…”' - Buahaha! Nice comedy in the heat of the moment!

'Their intimacy came from having saved each other’s lives, from having worked so closely together for so long, and not just from being lovers.' - This, I think, is so key to their relationship. It's so much MORE than the intimacy they share. It's the moments that bring them closer together, like the moments mentioned.

'“No, you don’t lie,” she whispered teasingly, kissing his collarbone. “You just omit like hell.”' - *laughs*

And then they... enjoy spending time together... which leads us to the next part. I STILL adore this part. And the second is just as good!

Onward!

That was amazing. The family all together at last. Yes!! But I really do get excited when you write about the twins, I'm wondering what mischief can they get into, and what headaches are they going to give Lois? The funniest part was Clark and the Grinch. LOL funny stuff. Thanks so much for this wonderful Christmas story. Happy Holidays.

Ah, that was so sweet. They are so adorable. I was hesitant at first to read this because I love your LS fic so much, so I just couldn't resist it. It is Christmas night, after all. I didn't want to be spoiled, but there was only a tiny bit of spoilage, so it wasn't bad. And wow, what an incredible proposal and Lois' answer was perfect. Clark is such a romantic, and of course, the icing on the cake, the FOS. Memories, memories! Love it.
