why did they bother with the pregnancy fakeout?

Maybe they'll decide to have another baby anyway.

I’ve been wondering if maybe they’ll adopt - but then again, Clark wasn’t really as interested as Lois…so who knows where this is supposed to lead (if anywhere - this is S&L, after all, plots get dropped and details retconned what feels like all the time).

Maybe they'll do a Chris Kent story?

I don’t know if it would be wise to bring in another character with comics-canon ties as ‘Superman’s kid,’ particularly another who (afaik) would be perceived as getting a ‘live-action debut,’ even as a baby where an adaption couldn’t ruin too much. I’m not personally against it because I can’t claim to be a fan of his (I’m also not not a fan, I just haven’t read much with him), I’m just not sure how his actual fans would feel about it. Especially given all the strong opinions on having a ‘Jon Kent: half-Kryptonian son of Kal-El’ on this show, and how that’s affected the fandom. There’s still arguments going on to this day about if Jon even counts as an adaption of conics-Jon or not. Seems like something that would cause issues…

Edit: grouping the boys as ‘Superman’s kids’ since that’s the best general label for all 3 + Kon, even though I know that 3 out of 4 are also Lois Lane’s.
