Finding Light in Darkness

Almost Losing him

Lillianna lay in the bed, by this point the doctor had put her arm in a sling across her chest so she couldn't move it. But she wasnt allowed to go home yet, they figured another week or two before she would be healed enough for them to feel it was a good idea to let her go home. But she was getting restless, it was driving her crazy just being stuck in a hospital room and of course she hadn't seen Clark that day so that didnt help. She watched people walking down the hallway. Lillianna finally gave up and buzzed the nurse.
"Yes?"
"Can I go outside?"
"In a little while sure. I'll have someone come get you."
"Thank you." Lillianna sat back and waited decided to watch tv while she waited. She heard the door open and turned toward it. Lana walked in tears in her eyes.
"Lana? What's wrong?"
"It's..its about Clark."
"What about Clark?" Lillanna asked. She threw her blanket back and slowly stood. "Lana what about Clark?"
Lillianna looked past Lana to see Johnathan and Martha standing just down the hall. She walked unsteadily out of the room, a nurse trying to stop her only resulting in the nurse being tossed to the floor.
"What happened?" She asked looking at them. She turned her head following their gaze to see the room he was in.
"Oh my god." She made her way into the room. A nurse pushed her back out as they worked on him.
When she heard the words time of death, her knees buckled and she fell to the ground sobbing. The doctor went down to tell Johnathan and Martha their son had died. A nurse had come and helped Lillianna back up off the floor and started her back towards her room when they both stopped when they heard that Clark's body was missing. Lillianna looked towards Johnathan and Martha, they knew she wouldn't stay another day in the hospital that had lost Clark.
"We need her discharged."
"Miss Blackwell isnt to be discharged for another couple weeks."
"Now doctor or we just leave with her."
"Fine."
Martha helped get some clothes on Lillianna and they headed back to the house.
"Go lay down we will figure out what is going on."
"Ok. But they will find him right? "
"We will. Just please stay calm. We just fixed the house."
"I will." Lillianna answered, she walked into the livingroom and sat down on the couch. She barely listened to Johnathan yelling at people about losing his son, and then he stopped talking. Lillianna turned to figure out why, her eyes locked with his.
"Clark?"
"Lilly, why are you here?" He asked coming to her side.
"You died. But how?"
"I kept it from you. I lost my powers for a while. Jor-el just gave them back. I got shot trying to keep a kid from blowing up Smallville."
"Since we arent dust my guess you stopped that. Which would explain your clothes."
"Yeah. But I am here and alive and still doesnt explain why your home?"
"Your dad made them let me leave. Kind of didnt give them much of a choice. They lost you he didnt want them to lose me. So here I am."
Clark hugged her carefully, he could still see the pain in her eyes.
"They give you anything for the pain?"
"Your dad has it." Lillianna answered him.
"Ok sit down let me get changed and then get you something for the pain."
"Alright." Lillianna sat back down, her arm was already starting to throb, she never noticed the pain before. Clark reappeared before her with two pills and a glass of water. She took the pills and lay back against the couch. Clark looked toward his parents who nodded knowing what he was going to ask. He lifted Lillianna into his arms and carried her upstairs. She seemed confused as he lay her on the bed and once he kicked off his boots and pulled off her shoes he lay next to her on the bed. He pulled her close letting her lay against him. He put both of his arms around her and let her finally relax.
"I love you."
"I love you too." He said to her. Lillianna just let herself finally fall asleep. Clark himself relaxed and fell asleep.
"They are both safe."
"Yeah and we are going to find a way to keep it this way."
"I hope we can."
Johnathan led his wife downstairs so they could get dinner prepared and they would wake the kids when dinner was done.
