Her drive to Smallville was an uneventful one. But she was nervous about how her father would react to the news. When she arrived at her dad's house he opened to door to greet her. "Chloe, why have reporters been calling be since 7am?"

She cringed and she shifted Anthony's weight, "lets get inside first, you better sit down." He led the way into the living room. And sat in his chair. Chloe put Anthony and his toys down and sat on the couch next to him. "Dad, you know that the other day I went to see Lex. I just wanted him to meet Tony. Maybe be a part of his life. But Lex proposed to me yesterday and some photographer saw it."

"Your marrying Lex?"

"Yeah, all I want right now is a stable family for Tony. We both know Lex is his father. He said he just wanted to do what was right."

"Chloe, what ever you decide is fine with me. Lex was my boss. He can be a good man. I'm not mad if that's what you were wondering. You are a grown woman, and don't need my approval. Just do what's right for both of you." Gabe said

"Thanks dad." Chloe said with a smile.

A few months later, Lex and Chloe were married. It was at Lex's house in

Smallville. Their old friends were there. Pete and Lana had gotten together shortly after college. Clark and Lois showed up, but they had to promise that neither of them was there to cover the story.

Lex, Chloe and their son, lived happily together for the rest of their lives.

The End
