Summary:When Chloe dies again Edward and Alice hurry to Smallville to take care of her despite her desperate attempts to convince them that dying really isn't that big a deal for her. And how is she supposed to get better if she and Edward are always arguing?
Note: Should be a three-or-four-shot.

The fact that Lois didn’t barge into Chloe’s bedroom immediately upon entering the Sullivan residence didn’t do anything help the blonde’s nervousness, on the contrary, it only served to heighten the experience. She tried to use the precious seconds of Lois-less-ness to come up with a good enough excuse for not only standing her cousin up at a bar but for the presence of her two friends, but if Edward’s scoffs had anything to say all of the excuses were lame and ridiculous.

Then the bedroom door flew open and Lois Lane strode into the room, Alice sauntering in behind her with a grin, as the tall, statuesque brunette headed towards Chloe and before the blonde could sputter out some hurried apology she was enveloped in her cousin’s warm, urgent embrace.

“You idiot!” Lois’s voice was half angry and half scared as she hugged Chloe tighter. “Why didn’t you call me?”

Chloe’s eyes were wide and surprised. She tried asking Alice with her eyes what in the world the vampiress had told her cousin, but the tiny brunette only grinned back.

“Of course, you were dead so calling would be impossible.” Lois was growling to herself, pulling away from Chloe, hazel eyes scanning her pale face worriedly. “Times like these are when my idea of tattooing ‘if dead, please call Lois Lane’ on you doesn’t sound half as insane, does it?”

Chloe nodded because she had no idea what Alice had said and she didn’t want to say anything that might contradict the vampiress’ story.

Lois turned to Edward, who jolted straight when her eyes landed on him. “You. How long was she out?”

“A day and a half.” He answered slowly, cautiously.

“Around normal then.” Lois was now speaking to herself before she shook her head and glared at Chloe. “What are you doing out of bed? You know the day of rebirth is like hell! If you don’t lay down your muscles won’t be able to keep you up on their own for long and you’ll---.”

Just as Lois was saying that Chloe winced as she felt her muscles, still weak from being dead and then brutally revived, gave out on her. The blonde’s whole world titled and she grabbed for the blinds in the window to try and keep upright, but her weight dragged her down, tearing the blinds off as she fell. The only reason she didn’t crumble to the ground was because Edward had moved quickly and grabbed her, pulling her up into his arms bridal-style.

Chloe groaned, her body killing her for having abused it so soon after rebirth, and she leaned her cheek against Edward’s chest, the coldness of his body battling the heat in her forehead as it throbbed in pain. And the bright light shining in the room from the torn blinds wasn’t helping.

Green orbs suddenly flew open in horror.

Bright sunlight----.

She looked up at Edward and saw that indeed the bright sunlight was shining on his skin, lighting it up like millions of diamonds.

How---beautiful.

“Wow.” Lois whistled.

Chloe’s eyes widened in horror as she tore her gaze from Edward’s skin and turned her head to look at her cousin, trying desperately to find some excuse---to try and---.

“That’s some mutation for you.” Lois announced, shaking her head as she looked from a sparkling Edward to a sparkling Alice. “So which meteor shower were you two caught in? The first or the second? Or were you mutated by exposure like Chloe?”

“We believe it is exposure.” Alice announced calmly from where she was sitting Indian Style on Chloe’s bed. “Our family has been to Smallville before and we all ended up with that mutation, so it has to be exposure.”

“All of you turn into Girl’s Best Friend when in direct sunlight?” Lois raised an eyebrow. “That’s gotta suck for you. How do you live like that?”

“We live in Forks, Washington, so it really doesn’t matter.” Alice replied, throwing herself back into a laying position. “It’s gotta be the dreariest place in the world, there’s never any sunlight and it’s always rainy or cloudy.”

“Oh, I’d die in a place like that, but its gotta be heaven for you.” Lois smiled in a friendly way. “So how did you hear of Isis in the first place and meet Chloe?”

“Chloe met our sister and we met her that way.” Edward finally spoke, shifting Chloe in his arms slightly, bringing her closer to him, tighter to him. “We’ve kept in contact and visited each other ever since.”

Chloe blushed darkly, wondering if he realized that he’d just rested his chin on the crown of her head.

Lois looked from Chloe to Edward, a small mischievous smile upturning the corners of her lips. “You don’t say.”

Chloe didn’t like that look, she didn’t like it at all. “Edward, I think maybe you should take me back to bed.” Her eyes widened when she realized how that might sound. “I mean lay me back in bed! I mean---just put me down!”

Edward chuckled in amusement before walking the few steps from the wall to her bed and tenderly laying her down on it, drawing the blanket around her and making sure the pillow was comfortable.

Chloe blushed and pouted as she glared at her hands. Lois was so going to get the wrong idea about this---she probably wasgetting the wrong idea about it, and since Edward could read minds he’d decided to be an evil monster and encourage those mistaken ideas.

Didn’t he know from Lois’ thoughts how much danger Chloe was in? Lois thought that most of Chloe’s problems could be done away with if the girl only got laid, frequently, and she’d dedicated her free time to trying to set Chloe up with every Tom Dick and Harry. If she even thought that Chloe might have found a love interest on her own Lois wouldn’t rest until she had physical evidence that her cousin was getting laid.

She’s a pervert like that.

Edward chuckled in amusement as he leaned down and evillypressed a cold kiss to her forehead, kneeling down besides the bed and softly pulling a strand of blonde hair out of her face much like a lover would.

I hate you---you evil evil Lois-tricking person you. Chloe tried to convey that message with as much anger as possible.

This is payback for weeks of endless stalking from Jessica Stanley. Edward’s grin was loving and sweet as his mischievous voice echoed in her mind.

Chloe’s eyes widened as she looked at him. Had---did you just say something?

The smile wiped off of Edward’s face, shock written plainly on it.

Oh my god. The blonde couldn’t tear her eyes away from the bronze-haired vampire.

“Well, Alice,” Lois announced in a voice that was obviouslysupposed to be innocent. “I need some help in the kitchen. When Chloe goes through this she needs protein and vitamins. How about you help me prepare something healthy and nutritious for her?”

“Of course Lois.” Alice announced just as horribly un-innocent. “Edward should stay here though just to make sure that nothing happens while we’re in the kitchen.”

“Exactly.” Lois nodded, grin wide, before both brunettes sauntered out of the bedroom, smiling conspiratorially at each other.

Thankfully neither Chloe nor Edward had been paying attention to them, otherwise they would have been annoyed and embarrassed by how obvious the brunettes were being.

Say something. Edward narrowed his eyes slightly as he glared into green orbs.

“I didn’t realize Jessica Stanley was that much of a pain.” Chloe whispered, confirming what they’d both suspected.

Edward blinked, standing up and backing away from the bed. “How did you---?”

“I don’t know.” Chloe whispered, bringing her knees to her chest and hugging them, voice soft and confused. “I don’t know.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lois knew that rebirth took a lot out of her baby cuz, so it wasn’t surprising to find that by the time she and Alice had cooked up some beef steak for Chloe and brought it to her room the blonde was out like a bulb, sleeping soundlessly while hugging a pillow. What’d been surprising for Lois was to see the look on Edward Cullen’s face as he sat on the edge of the bed and watched her cousin sleep.

His expression had been fascinated.

Lois was a little ticked that Chloe hadn’t mentioned Edward to her before, but she knew Chloe, the blonde was still half in love with Clark Kent (whom Lois was more and more sure each day was a metahuman in denial) and it would take a while for her to finally see that Clark would never take his Lana-blinders off and see what a wonderful woman he was truly missing out on.

But if there’s anyone who could make Chloe love again, it’s this Edward guy, I’m sure of it.

That was one of the reasons why she’d finally left the house and gotten into her RAV4, driving towards the DP, where she was meeting with Jimmy to go and investigate some unusual happenings downtown. Honestly Jimmy might have some weird theories and could be a total geek sometimes, but at least hewas dependable.

Unlike someone ELSE I know.

Growling, Lois reached for her cellular and rung the number she was used to calling to bitch out on. As it had for the last three weeks, it just rang and rang until Clark’s voicemail picked up. It was an old voicemail that had Lana’s voice in it giggling in the background while Clark left the usual “can’t pick up right now leave a message” message.

“Now listen here Smallville and listen good.” Lois growled, at the end of her rope. “You promised me you’d take care of Chloe, remember? You promised. So why is she still dying every Tuesday? Where the hell are you? I’m so damn pissed at this whole situation! If you’re going to promise me something know that I’ll hold it to your dying day. I—I can’t take care of Chloe on my own, I---I’m not strong enough.” And God, it hurt her to admit that. “But I trusted you to be. Seems I was wrong.”

Hanging up, knowing she’d been unfair to Clark, Lois threw her cellular in the back of her car and drove away.
