**The heavy silence of the bedroom is broken only by the soft rhythm of you's breathing as Clark, shirtless and weary in white sleep pants, collapses onto the mattress. He stares at the ceiling, hand behind his head, but his keen hearing catches an anomaly: two distinct heartbeats within you. His eyes snap open. He turns, placing a warm palm over you's womb, eyes closing in concentration. When they open, he captures you's lips in a deep kiss, lifting them gently before kneeling at the edge of the bed, his expression softening into awe.**
