“What was that?” cried Martha.

Soon, a hissing sound filled the crater. A metal panel on top of the strange object began to open up. Martha and Jonathan both froze.

Two tiny hands rose up from the opening. A small head covered in dark hair peeked over the edge.

Martha ran down into the crater. “It’s a baby!” she said.

“It’s a little boy,” said Jonathan, stunned.

A toddler looked up at them from the shiny object. A wide grin stretched across his happy face. He held out his arms, wanting to be picked up.

“Where did you come from, little man?” asked Jonathan.

“A baby!” repeated Martha.

“Yes, I can see that, Martha,” he said.

“We always wanted to have a baby of our own,” she said.

“He doesn’t belong to us,” Jonathan pointed out.

Martha reached out and lifted the toddler into her arms. “I don’t think his family is from around here,” she said. “Unless you see someone else falling from the sky.”

“Oh, Martha,” said her husband.

Martha Kent stared happily at the little boy. He smiled and grabbed at her hair. “I think we’ll call you Clark,” she said. “I’ve always liked that name.”

Jonathan shook his head. “We can’t do this, Martha,” he said.

Martha stuck out her chin. “We’re only going to take care of Clark until someone else comes looking for him,” she said.

Martha looked up at the sky and then back at her husband. “But somehow I don’t think that’s going to happen. Do you?” she asked.

Jonathan put his arm around his wife’s shoulders. The new family walked away from the crater and headed toward their house.
