"Don't you go pulling the wounded partner card on me. You're gone nearly every night at some meeting or banquet or function."

"But not until all hours of the morning."

"I'm only gone as long as it takes me and Lois to get the story."

"Right. You and Lois are 'getting a story'."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means whatever you want it to mean."

"You think I'm having an affair? With Lois?"

"I didn't say that, but a guilty mind always fills in the blanks."

"I can't believe you!"

"Sam?" Sam jumped away from his parents' bedroom door and spun around. PJ stood behind him with wide eyes, looking between him and the closed door. The shouting got louder and her lower lip trembled.

Sam put on his adult face, as Colleen called it, and petted PJ's shoulder. "Don't worry, PJ. Dad and Papa Lex are just having a misunderstanding."

"They're very loud," PJ said, sounding upset.

"Why don't we go to my workshop, where we can't hear them? You can help me finish putting together the new dog."

"I want to make a cat," PJ said, taking Sam's hand and tugging him down the hall.

Sam followed her, away from the fighting. "But it's halfway done already, as a dog."

"I want to make a cat!"

"Well, I guess I can change the shape of the ears and tail…"

    Sam takes good care of PJ, doesn't he? He would BUILD a dog and then turn it into a cat just for her.

    Maybe PJ and Sam could make that "cat" especially hate Lois.

      PJ has a thing for cats, too. It's come up twice now. :) Sam takes his role as big brother very seriously and very cutely to us readers (and me writing!)

    I really love the way you have this family interact. Yay for more FFL stories!

    I think you want "hear" instead of "here" in the sentence that starts "Why don't we go to my workshop...."

    Sometimes you just want to shake both of them, huh? It's so easy to forget that there are little guys around who can be more wounded by your angry words than your partner ever would be.

    I love Sam as PJ's hero. He's got a lot of the best of both his dads in him.

      Thank you. I like to think they're very close, even with the sibling fighting that happens. And CLark and LEx aren't perfect, either, which paints this world in more realistic colors.

    I love the bond between Sam and PJ. Even when he's calling her a pimp and she's threatening to buy him a hamster so he can get laid, the love is there. So sweet. (I've been rereading the older drabbles lately, if you can't tell from the comment.)

      I'm happy you're re-reading! And yes, the sibling relationship is one of the great things about this 'verse. It's not perfect, it's messy and reliable and full of what family is all about.

        I have to admit, it's very easy for me to re-read, since I have the whole thing printed out. I found and printed the original story back in late fall of 2002, and then once I discovered the Wednesday 100 drabbles, I printed those, too. It's just easier for me that way, all the scrolling down the computer screen gives me a headache after a while. Besides, I love curling up in bed with a stack of pages, there's just something so comforting about it.

          I have a few like that, the longer stories, that I love curling up in bed with, or take a bath with!

            I have a whole lot of Smallville stories printed out, long and short. Some of them include, "Date With the President", "With This Ring", "No Longer Friends" and "Haunted Heart", just to name a few. Sound familiar to you?

    Sam is such a good older brother!

      He really is. He ended up being the best of both Clark and Lex, and PJ... got everything else. :P

    Good thing PJ has Sam! *grin* I'd like to see Lex explain 'why parents fight sometimes' to PJ as well... :)

    Wow... I'm always impressed by siblings taking care of each other. And this must be tough... *hugs Sam and PJ*
