Wedding reception!

[chloesullivan]

[ooc: open party thread! Mingle, thread-hop, crash the party, cause drama. Whatever you feel like.]

The wedding had gone smoothly. Her dad had walked her down the isle like it should be. They had exchanged their vows and rings once more. Even if the ceremony had been just a formality, since they had been married for two weeks now, but it had still been nice to be there with their family and close friends.

After that, they had been dragged to another room in the hotel for pictures and only now were they being introduced back to their guests, this time as Mr. and Mrs. Queen.

The reception was taking place in the ballroom of the Metropolitan. The decoration was, unsurprisingly, green. Dinner would be served but drinks and appetizers were already available for those who wanted them.

Chloe just hoped his part of the day went as smoothly as the rest of it had.

Lois's mind was drifting, most likely to places she'd be mortified to confess. Her head perked up when she heard her name, eyebrows raised.

"Clark?"

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

Clark shook his head quickly. "Nevermind."

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

"What?" she insisted, voice softening.

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

"This is nice."

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

Lois smiled at that, nodding once.

"Yeah, it is," she replied, tipping her head towards him a bit.

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

He looked down again to make sure he wasn't about to step on her feet, then lifted his head. He gazed down at her, moving a tiny bit closer.

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

Lois could, very archaically, feel her heart pounding in her chest. She leaned closer to him, lips parting ever so slightly...

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

He licked his lips and moved in, close enough to kiss her but letting her choose whether or not to close the gap between them.

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

Lois leaned in closer, lips just close enough to graze his before-

"Hn-" She sucked in a breath, wincing and pressing a hand to her stomach.

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

"Lois?" He kept a hand on her back, frowning down at her with concern.

"What's wrong?"

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

She shook her head, backing away from him and attempting a small smile.

"M'fine. Just uh... Nh." She winced again, blood slowly draining from her face. "Just... gimme a sec."

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

He let go of her, but he didn't let her go too far, not liking how ill she suddenly looked.

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

She backed away from him, looking nauseous as she scanned the room and made a beeline for Tony. Wrenching him away from whoever the hell he was flirting with at the moment, she gritted her teeth and dragged him outside.

[astarklandscape.livejournal.com]

Tony didn't say anything as Lois dragged him away from his conversation, merely nodded, following her out, hand settling against the small of her back. The look on Lois's face told him enough. Either she needed someone to hold her hair, or he was on deflect and absorb if her friends got too nosy.

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

Lois confirmed Tony's suspicions by promptly depositing the entirety of her stomach's contents into a nearby bush. After that was done, she sucked in a shaky breath, clutching her stomach and groaning.

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

Tony was a known alcoholic, so Clark wasn't surprised that Lois aimed for him to help her. He figured she'd had too much to drink, and she knew he disapproved of that, but he was still concerned.

It was a little early to be that wasted, so he hung back and watched from afar.

Tony rubbed Lois's back, noise wrinkling. Morning sickness, which was incorrectly named if Lois was any indication. Anytime-it-wanted-to-happen sickness. At least she hadn't thrown up on him.

"You gonna make it, or do you need an exit? I can have Happy bring the car around."

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

Lois pursed her lips, wincing a moment and clutching her belly.

"I d... I don't know. This feels... different." She was panting, the blood quickly drained from her features.

[astarklandscape.livejournal.com]

Tony frowned, a fissure of unease shoot down his spine. "Different how?" he asked, voice low. "Do y-- Hospital?" He pulled out his phone, hitting the button to call Happy.

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

Clark heard the entire conversation and chose that moment to step in. He was by Lois's side in a flash, looking incredibly worried.

"What do you need?"

[astarklandscape.livejournal.com]

Tony waved Clark off, firing quick instructions into the phone. He could already see Happy approaching, headlights cutting through the night air. He ended the call, sliding his phone back into his breast pocket. "We're fine."

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

He didn't even look at Tony, his entire focus on Lois. "She's in obvious pain. No one here is fine."

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

She winced again, waving Clark off insistently.

"I'm fine, Smallville," she muttered, lowering herself onto a spare chair outside. "No hospital, Tony. Just get me home, okay?"

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

"Lois, what's going on?"

He hovered over her, fretting. He could tell this was more than just a few too many drinks.

[astarklandscape.livejournal.com]

Tony ignored Clark, moving around to look at Lois. This didn't fit with her normal pregnancy symptoms and it had him worried. "Fine, no hospital," he said, acquiescing, "but I'm havin' Jarvis scan you. I brought the Mark V." His head turned as Happy pulled up. He held out his hand to Lois. "C'mon, sweetheart."
