Well, the 2011 12 Days of Clois Christmas challenge is officially closing tonight. However! Since we got a late start, and because I'm without internet at home for the time being and have been having to hit the local wi-fi hotspots to check in, those of you that are still working on your fic should be able to sneak them past me over the next few days. ^_~

I hope everyone's had a good holiday season so far, and here's to a wonderful New Year!

Title: Embracing Destiny
Author: babettew54
Category: Superman Returns
Pairings/Characters: Clark/Lois, Jason, Conner, Martha
Rating: PG
Word Count: 3,000
Prompt: #32 – Christmas Cabin
Summary: Lois and Clark’s first Christmas as a ‘true family’ does not turn out quite the way they had planned.
Disclaimer: DC Comics/Warner Bros. Entertainment owns these characters. This is strictly for my own amusement.
Author's Notes: This story will serve as a prologue for a story coming in the New Year, but it’s also a sequel to Now or Never written earlier this year. Here are a few things you should know: it’s post-SR where Lois, Clark and Jason are a family, but suddenly and quite unexpectedly, Conner came into their lives and everything has changed. Their first Christmas as a ‘combined family’ will begin the story. I hope you like it. Read on and please leave a comment. Thanks guys! :D
