Mum. Right. Lois's imagination had been running wild the past few days with what his mother might be like. He'd mentioned her fondly on occasion - his stories were always warm, happy enough, but... didn't everyone tend to put their mother on a pedestal? Was she in for some kind of crazed, Monster-in-Law situation when she stepped foot off the plane?
In-Laws. As if this counted. She tried to shake the thought off, repeating to herself yet again that she'd find out soon enough. That she was Lois Freakin' Lane, that she'd beaten muggers into submission, held her own against billionaires and world leaders.
Which she'd gladly do again rather than face whatever insanity she was in for with the Flanagan clan. Because they truly were a clan - she'd tried to add them up in her head based on Jack's mention of them. There had to be... ten? Fifteen of them, all together for the holidays? A far cry from the holidays she spent with either her sister and father or, most recently, Clark, Ollie, and Chloe.
She swallowed heavily, Jack's comment earning a hint of a smile on her lips as she squeezed at the his thigh.
"Yeah, that's just what I need. To meet your family reeking of sex after an eight hour flight." She turned her head to press a kiss to his forehead, hand drifting up to rest over his. "I'm fine. Promise." Never mind the tightness in her voice. Or the tension in her muscles. Nope.
