Beginnings
"Sarah Jane, what's that in the sky" Luke pointed up towards the sky.
"Oh it's just a plane Luke, nothing to worry about" Sarah Jane put her arm round Luke. He gave her a timid smile.
It had only been an hour since rescuing Luke from the factory and naming him as her son.
"So are you going to send him to school Sarah Jane, I mean, he is only an hour old." Their neighbour Maria from over the road felt like she wanted to say something.
Luke gave a puzzled look "What's school?" Sarah Jane just smiled. "Don't worry Luke" she said "you probably won't start school till you're a little bit older. With that Maria went home and Sarah Jane took Luke upstairs. She had only been upstairs a few minutes when she heard Luke coming up from his room.
"Luke?" she turned round to see his shy red face "what's wrong?"
"The bed… I… It's so different and I'm not completely use to it."
"Oh Luke" Sarah Jane went over and hugged him, this was his first night and it had felt like a long one, but she couldn't just leave him awake all night. She sat him down on the couch in the attic. "Luke, it is going to be difficult, I know, now Maria knows a lot, I have to keep her with me as well" Sarah Jane's words weren't really sinking into Luke.
"I… I don't understand what you mean" Luke sighed "Maybe you should have just left me at the Factory." He said with an upset Look on his face.
Sarah Jane was shocked "what and leave you there to die, NOT A CHANCE!" Luke suddenly looked scared at Sarah Jane's shouting, almost as though he was about to cry. "Oh I'm sorry Luke" Sarah Jane hugged him "It's just, I nearly lost you, when… Mr Wormwood used her ring… I…I don't know what I would have done" now She was crying.
"But I'm going to be so hard to look after" Luke complained.
"Not really, you already know the basics" she smiled rubbing his cheeks, "now come on, you'd better get some sleep big day tomorrow!"
"Alright" Luke gave a solemn nod and left the room.
"Mr Smith, I need you for a moment" she listened to the long fanfare, "You know, you couldn't have done that any quieter could you, and I'm trying to keep Luke asleep!" Sarah Jane yelled, before realising she was being louder than the supercomputer
"You called Sarah Jane" the voice from the computer came out fairly quietly
"Yes" she replied "I was wondering, do you think Luke will be happy here?"
"I am not sure Sarah Jane, Luke to everyone else is a human teenager, but to me you and Maria, he's just a baby barely a few days old"
"Sarah Jane nodded and told the computer to let her get some rest.
Meanwhile downstairs Luke was upset, he now realised how hard it was for Sarah Jane to take care of someone who knows the first things in a baby' life, but nothing else, and he quietly cried himself to sleep.
