( January 2001 )
"It's snowing in California, is it a parallel universe?" Stephanie blurted brushing the snowflakes out of her hair as Clark and she walked through the park, hand in hand.
"It's very odd, but it's nice. It's always sunshine and rainbows here." Clark replied
"Yeah, but it's gonna get cold soon I just know it." Stephanie bellowed
"Yeah like 70 degrees, is cold, we're from Riverdale, it snows in it snows in October there, Steph."Clark pointed out
"I know but I'm just saying....but you wanna go back to your place and have fun? We have some hot cocoa. Or just watch some Roswell?"Stephaine suggested
"Aw hell...What's with you and Roswell? It's all over my DVR and it's all you talk about half the time."Clark groaned in annoyance
"It's a great show! It has me hooked." Stephaine exclaimed
"Really? I don't get it." Clark joked, Stephanie rolled her eyes
"You're annoying, but do you still wanna take up my offer on hot cocoa, sex, and Roswell?"
"Sounds about good, but Steph, we've been at this for a month now, what do we call this. We're friends but we're...."
"Fucking, but one of us is married with a child. We're both horrible humans either way. An affair really, but I don't really wanna call it that."
"We're not those horrible ass humans, Steph. I'm the home-wrecker here."
"Look I'm ruining my family by being with you and you're ruining my family by being with me. But we both know what my husband gets down to on his "business trips.." Stephanie sighed "I just have a connection with you, it just has to be hidden for the sake of Delilah." Stephanie explained referring to her daughter. Clark rubbed her on the back
"I know she's too young for all of this, but I have the right to be happy too. But to answer your original question, we're friends with benefits, if anything." Stephanie added
"Nice way to sum it up."Clark replied awkwardly
"Pretty much. This is just us having fun. Just along as no one finds out or I get pregnant, we'll be fine."
"Like you'll get pregnant Steph. I always use protection."
"I'm just saying, I'm reckless but cautious."
"Complete but a fixer-upper."
"Oh, shut up."

"Clark," Stephanie said on the verge of tears.
"Hi, Steph, what brings you here?" Clark said shutting the door of his apartment
"There's something important I need to tell you...I'm pregnant."Stephanie revealed taking a seat on his couch
Clark was awestruck. They literally made a pact that they wouldn't get pregnant.
"What?"Clark asked out of complete shock
"Yeah, and it's yours. I know because you were the last person I had sex with within the last two weeks." Stephanie admitted
"But what about your husband didn't you-"
"We did but remember when I came over after and we drank a bunch and-"
"Oh. I don't know what to say...." Clark cut her off
"I'm gonna get rid of the baby. I don't want it." Stephanie replied firmly
"Steph, wait, what no. Don't please."Clark pleaded
"This will indefinitely ruin my family, Clark. As soon as my child comes out with tan skin or black hair. It's gonna ruin my family. I can't do this. It was a mistake. We have to abort it." Stephanie explained
"No, Steph. Don't do that, please."Clark pleaded once more
"It's the only way. I know you don't wanna miss out on your chance on being a father but this isn't the right way."
"Steph, I'll take the baby."
"What?"
"You can carry it and once born, you can give me the baby and I'll take care of it. I know you don't want it, but this is my child too, and I don't want them to grow up without a family or at least even get a chance to live. You don't even have to be there. Just don't leave this baby."
Stephanie started to cry
"I fucked myself over so bad and I dragged you into it."
"It's ok. I know we both did something bad. You know what? I'm sorry for pressuring you...do what you want Steph." Clark said comforting her
Stephanie cried for a few more minutes soon calming down.
"It's ok. I'm gonna have the baby. I'll tell my husband it's his and get my divorce papers ready I guess."
