Family… it was an alien concept to her just like the notion of a best friend used to baffle her. Before Clark friendships were far and in-between while she was climbing her way up to the top of the Daily Planet. Family…before him,
before them family had been a barely there father who could only criticize, an alcoholic mother who she couldn't stand to be within 20 ft of, and finally a screw up little sister who only borrowed her clothes and money to impress
her deadbeat boyfriend of the moment. Not a very good concept of the word huh? Oh how she loathed self pitying yet here she was eating dinner with three wonderful people and she pitied herself?! Ah well not much she could
do about it. Family had been something she had never wanted nor needed. But then she met Clark Kent and irritating goody- two shoes hack from nowheresville, before him she had never had a best friend before. Hell she had
barley had friends! When she had first met his parents her and Clark had been border lining on friendship and she had insulted their intelligence and accused Jonathan of being a cross dresser not the greatest of first
impressions. After that things had gotten better she had seen them at Christmas gotten to know them more and she had become friends with them. They had been visiting the last 3 days while she and Clark had been dealing
with a shady friend of Perry's and Jonathan had been attempting to cook. Martha had said it as an afterthought, very casually "Oh I'm sorry but she's like family" I smiled, and suddenly the concept of family was a lot more
appealing.
