I hadn't planned to write more to this story. It was originally intended to just be a small story where Clark lets his mom know he's okay. However, I decided to include this extra portion after requests to continue the story. Thanks to everyone for their reviews.

Lois sat curled up in her favorite chair. She had always been a light sleeper and was even more so since becoming a mother. This night was no different. She had too much whirling through her brain to sleep. It had been over a week since the man of Steel's return. Everything that had followed had been a lot to take in within a short period of time.

She looked over at Richard as he slept peacefully and smiled. He was a good man. He was great with Jason. She knew that she should have married him a long time ago and didn't really know why. A part of her brain starting nagging at her. She really did know why she hadn't; even if she wouldn't admit it to herself.

Lois got up noiselessly from the chair and may her way down the hall to the next room. She slowly opened the door and peered in on Jason. She had never thought she could love anyone as much as she did that little boy. She walked over and brushed a stray hair away from his face and kissed him lightly on the forehead.

Movement out of the corner of Lois's eye caught her attention and she saw the curtains sway slightly. She looked over and saw the tail end of a red cape starting to go up. She walked quickly but quietly over to the open window. "Wait."

"I didn't mean to disturb you. I just wanted to check on him." Superman gave a slight smile as he landed effortlessly on the patio.

"You weren't bothering me. I was just doing the same thing." Lois said as she pulled her robe closer around her. There was an awkward moment of silence between them. She could tell that he wanted to say something but couldn't seem to figure out how to say it. Finally it seemed he had figured it out.

"Has Jason done anything unusual?" It was a question that had plagued him since he had found out. He remembered when his abilities starting making themselves known and how confusing and frustrating it could be.

"Just once"

He was a little surprised. He thought Jason was a little young, but then again he was pretty young when he first lifted the car up and nearly scared his parents to death.

"He's going to be a very strong boy." Lois smiled up at him, but turned when she heard Jason make a small noise in his sleep.

Lois turned back as Superman began to rise again. "I'd better be going."

"See you around." Lois turned and walked by inside.
