His aurora eyes gazed into the six identical, very light blue eyes as he and his three children all stepped through the door of 86 Drive Road.

That same feeling emerged inside him of guilt and pleasure. In all his years, he faced crises, not of his own making. He handled the diabolical mastermind, Lex Luther. Also, he faced the Dark Knight, and both threatened him to discover his weakness (Kryptonite). However, Superman met the challenges simultaneously. After the battle, Superman and Batman became allies, but with Lex Luthor, they stayed the same, foes for each other. Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, and Lex Luthor were multi-billion-dollar heirs and playboy business geniuses, but they couldn't be more different.

"Mind the step, children."
Clark smiled at the beautiful sight on the other side of the door, at Lois eagerly swinging the door open, which surprised the children and him.

"Welcome to your new home!"
Lois and the kids hollered, smiling at the three Kumars. The children smiled back at them.

Clark looked smitten by his wife's beautiful violet eyes, which melted him all the time, even before they married. Since the first day they worked together as journalists at the Daily Planet.

He couldn't believe that he had married such a beautiful person, and felt like such a lucky man to be chosen out of all the men who tried to get with her. She fell in love with Clark with love and a deep affection for him, and they became soulmates from then onwards.

They built a family together by buying a house in an area with a friendly neighborhood, and a few years later, had four wonderful boys living in their home. Christopher and Conner were adopted children, and their fathers each were Superman's foes. Jason and Johnathan were their biological children. And now, they had been blessed with three more children.

Clark had yet to make the huge confession to his wife.

Every day and night, Clark/Superman hoped to tell Lois about what had happened ten years ago. Still, whenever an urgent warning alert arrived from his earbud from the Watchtower, the sound alarm beeped into his ear like someone beat a drum. He apologized to Lois for rushing out, and she understood him leaving in a hurry. She got asked by her youngest children about their father's urgent absence.

It was easy to explain. He had to cover a breaking story for the Daily Planet.

This would not be easy to explain with Lois.

Clark/Superman was so worried and intense thinking that his wife, after hearing about S-Woman and these beautiful triplets, who now looked different ages, would be crushed.

But he had to lie to their four children. She had to pretend. He could not keep this secret from her. There were too many secrets.

He shook his head to clear his thoughts, still standing frozen on the doorstep facing his wife and their three boys, and his early teenage son.

Lois was stunned to see her husband wore his Clark Kent journalist clothes instead. She didn't know why Clark/Superman revealed his secret identity to the unknown children. Lois shook her head. A simple explanation, surely. He must have somehow rushed away, making excuses as he usually does to transform into Clark or Superman.

Lois felt like a lucky and remarkable woman to have married Superman/Clark ever since he revealed his true secret identity to her. Superman could marry any woman, especially one with superpowers. However, he chose her. Her dream came true to marry the Man of Steel.

Years went by after their wedding. Lois covered stories all around the world while Superman flew out saving the world. Lois always got anxious every day, thinking something could happen. And the last ten years, Clark was troubled. Something dominated his mind and mood. That damn airpod always interrupted them, and so did the calls from Perry White of the Daily Planet. But next time would be different.
