Resistant • Jonathan Kent

iv. Uncontrollable Forces

"Are you really dragging me to a party tonight?" Tiana asked as she was looking over at Sarah and Natalie, who were both staring at her. "Guys, I am seriously not great company for a party, right now. I mean, like... At all." She said as Sarah was staring at her.

"What are you talking about? You always have fun drinking, despite the fact that you can't get drunk." Sarah asked quickly and Tiana sighed, before she stared down into the glass of water. "Tiana Lynnwood Allen, why are you so resistant to this?"

"Because I'm..." Tiana sighed heavily at the words, looking back up at her again. "Guys, I'm pregnant." She said, seeing no reason to beat around the bush and at the quick words from her, Sarah and Natalie were spitting out their water in unison.

"Are you serious?" Sarah questioned as Tiana nodded slightly. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, you are going to be a mom--" Sarah squealed, until Tiana's hand clamped over her mouth to stifle the squeal and Sarah's eyes were indignant.

"Lower your voice about this, Sarah. I mean it, right now, Sarah Cortez. I'm not ready for the entire town to know about my condition." Tiana muttered quietly and Sarah nodded quickly in understanding the words, before Tiana was carefully moving her hand away.

"And Natalie?" She asked and at the words quickly, Natalie was looking over at her. "It goes for you as well. I'm serious, because I don't want anybody else to know. Enough people in this town, already know."

"Okay, all right. But you're coming to the party tonight, right?" Sarah was questioning her quickly and Tiana sighed. "Please Tiana, please? Please?" She asked.

"I'm not drinking." Tiana warned and the two other girls were grinning at the words and they were high-fiving one another quickly. "And if either of you start to drink, I want your word that you are going to let me drive." She said and then, both of them were eagerly nodding at the words. "Then, yes, I will go." She said and then together, they were all getting up and paying.

"How far are you along?" Natalie asked as they were paying for their food and drinks as Tiana sighed.

"According to the doctors, I'm about 4 months along. But because my biology is different than a normal human, I'm probably not going to start showing for a few more weeks." Tiana admitted quietly.

"Hey." Jon said and Tiana smiled, before he kissed her forehead. "Are-are you okay?" He asked and she shrugged.

"I'm fine, don't worry." She said and he nodded, before she kissed his cheek and she was looking around him at Sarah and Natalie as they were waving at her. "Sorry, I am hanging out with Sarah and Nat for the night. I'll be home before midnight." She said and Jon nodded, before she jogged out of the diner and joined the girls.

"Oh, no. I am definitely regretting this choice to come here, already." Tiana said weakly and Sarah glanced over at her. "I'm starting to feel the baby moving, um... It's just, not overly comfortable." She said and Sarah sighed.

"Jonathan would want you to enjoy yourself." Natalie stated and Tiana was staring at them both.

"You just focus on finding your crush from another world, Nat. Meanwhile, I will be doing my best... While trying not to throw up at any of this." Tiana explained as she was walking around the house, looking around quickly at all the seemingly endless wealth that was on display.

Tiana stopped in the doorway when she heard something and Jon was looking over at her, while Eliza stood in front of him in a rather intimate position and Tiana's eyes flashed with lightning.

"So," her voice was surprisingly steady, considering the circumstances and Jon shook his head. "Are we headed out yet, Jon?"

"Yeah. Yeah, it's time for us to go." Jon recovered himself as he walked over to her and Tiana was shaking. "Tiana, let me explain..."

"Not right now." Tiana said softly and he reached out for her hand, but she brushed it away. "I cannot... Jon, I can't do this right now." She said softly and he was looking at her, before her watch was beeping and then she was looking at it. "It's your mom."

"Tiana, please..." But she was already gone and he was left staring at the empty spot as he lowered his head, feeling a sharp emotional pain spreading through him, at the sudden mistake.

Tiana appeared on the rooftop and she looked at the judge, who was getting off of the railing at Lois's words and she looked at her. Tiana saw that Clark was moving to hug her and Tiana was disappearing in a flash of lightning, not wanting to interrupt.

Tiana had her heavy-duty headphones on over her ears as she watched Netflix on her phone and she was ignoring the knock on the wall of the barn that was Jonathan right now, without a doubt.

"Tiana." He spoke up and she was dead silent, simply turning the volume up on her headphones. "Tiana, look at me. Please?" He asked as he walked over and he sat down in front of her.

Tiana's eyes flicked to look at him, before they went back to the screen and Jon sighed at the meaning. "We need to talk about this, okay? I really... I need you to understand my side of things..." Tiana turned off her headphones and she tossed them to the side as she was staring at him.

"I walked in on you kissing her, Jon." Tiana said and Jon nodded. "You were kissing your ex girlfriend, you went to a party invited by your ex girlfriend and I walk in on you two, doing the mouth on mouth tango." She said and her voice cracked with pain.

"I know that I shouldn't be this mad about something so stupid! I know that I shouldn't be screaming at you after your mother just got diagnosed with cancer! I know that I shouldn't be this angry or upset in general, I just hate these fucking hormones!" She was burying her face into her hands and she was breaking down crying, before Jon got up and he was hugging her.

"I know how it looked to you, Tiana. But I promise you, I didn't go to the party just to hurt you. I misunderstood what Eliza was saying, she kissed me first. Tiana, I am so sorry." He whispered and she was sniffling at the words. "I love you." He said softly and she was gripping his hand, before she was still trembling and his arms moved around her entirely and he refused to let her go.
