What To Expect When You're SuperExpecting by Het Up (K+)
Fandom: DCU
Pairing: Clark/Lois
Length: 1,511 words
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Het Up at FFN
Why this must be read:
The summary of this fic says it all really:
Clark and Lois try to get pregnant. At the same time, they try Batman's patience. Multitasking is fun.
The basic idea of this fic would be amusing enough in itself but the author so seamlessly melds such a normal problem with the extraordinary circumstances of superhero life into a truly delightful oneshot. It's a short read but a marvelously funny one. If you still don't belive me read the excerpt:
“Batman, do you mind taking my shift?”
It was 8:30 PM today in Tokyo, which made it 7:30 AM yesterday in Gotham. Luckily, Bruce had finished his one-hour sleep meditation.
“I have a business meeting,” Bruce grumbled. Clark couldn’t tell if it was because he’d woken him up or if it was because he was still in Bat-mode. Or both. Maybe he slept in that damn cape. It was a very nice cape, though. Clark made a mental note to ask Bruce how he got it so swoosh.
“My wife is ovulating.”
Although Clark couldn’t see the expression on Bruce’s face, what he could hear of Bruce’s bodily processes going on strike was reward enough.
“I’ll file that information away for later.” Clark was about to ask if that was a joke when his super-hearing picked up keystrokes. “Why should Lois’s reproductive cycle concern me?”
“We’re trying for a kid.” And that facial expression Clark wouldn’t miss for the world, so he said it while hovering outside the mansion and using his X-ray vision. Rao bless superspeed.
