Title: Merry Chlexmas Darling
Rating: R
Genre: Holiday
Disclaimer: I own nothing, not the characters nor the songs
Description: Chloe wishes she was with Lex for Christmas, her children want their father home as well.
Author's Note: Although this is not a song fic, I will be using lyrics from songs, because I'm a music nut and the main Christmas song I'll be using is "Merry Christmas Darling" by the Carpenters and most if not all of the Chapter titles will be names of Christmas songs. Also this takes place in the future so it may be kind of AU.
Chapter One: Where are you Christmas
Greeting Cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one wish to make
A special one for you
"Is Daddy mad at us?" my five year old son Julian asked me, his blue eyes were staring up at me with such intensity it sent chills down my spine, he reminded me so of Lex.
"No honey." I told him soothingly. "Daddy isn't mad at us...he just has some business to take care of." I said pulling the covers over him and kissing his forehead.
"How will Santa find daddy?" I heard from across the room, it was my other son, Julian's twin brother, Gabriel. I'd named him after my father. He too had his father's eyes, which made sense because they were identical twins.
"Santa is very smart." I told them, that's what my dad had always told me when I wondered if he'd find us when we were away, and he always had. "He'll find daddy no matter where he is."
It was this time that little Lila decided to come into her brother's room dragging Mr. Snuffles and rubbing her eyes. "You loud" she told us, she was three and probably the most honest person I know. "Sleepy mommy..." she said and wandered over to me, still rubbing her eyes. She glared at her brothers for a few seconds.
"We're all tired, Lila" Julian told her getting out of bed and coming to comfort his little sister.
"It's not Christmas without daddy" Gabriel agreed, and also got out of bed coming over to join the group hug.
"Christmas is in a few days." I told them. "It will be okay, I promise. It will be a great Christmas, Uncle Clark's coming...and Grandpa and Grandma." My father had remarried when I was 19, all I could say was it was about time, his wedding day and Julian and Gabriel's birthdate were one and the same. It was probably the best year of my life.
"Yay Uncle Clark!" Gabriel said jumping up and down. You'd be surprised how strong a five year old is until they knock you down. "But I still miss daddy..." he said calming down and sniffling a little. The kids missed their father, I could understand that. I missed Lex too, he was my husband...my love and my soulmate, and I would have loved for him to be there with us, but I understood that he could not. Business knows no holiday...He had told me sadly. Despite everything, I was determined to make this a great Christmas for my children.
Now if someone told me when I was 16, that at 24 I'd be married to Lex Luthor and have the three most wonderful children in the world, I'd have laughed at them and recommended therapy, but it had all come to pass, and I couldn't be happier. The kids brought so much joy into our lives, and even though Lex was away, I knew we'd find a way to be happy at Christmas.
