Evan's name

It was movie night at the Kent household, Evan sat between his parents on the couch with his head nestled into clarks chest. Clark looked down at his son and smiled, he looked over at his wife, she smiled back. The boy hadn't moved a muscle in several minutes and they assumed he was asleep, so it surprised them both when he suddenly sat straight up.

"You ok buddy?" Clark asked.

"What's wrong baby?" Lana inquired as she placed her hand on his shoulder.

After a moment of silence Evan stood up, turned around and looked at them both. "Momma, daddy, where did you get my name from?

Clark and Lana looked at each other and grinned.

Clark grabbed the remote and paused the movie, "Why the sudden intrest?" He asked.

"I don't know, I'm just curious I guess," Evan replied.

Lana leaned forward and slid off of the couch into a sitting position on the floor, Evan settled down into her lap. "Evan, you were named after someone who was very special to your father and I," she brushed a lock of hair from Evan's face and continued. "Years ago, when we still lived in Smallville, your dad and I were driving down the road one night, all of a sudden we heard an explosion and saw a blinding light coming from a field."

Clark leaned back and listened to Lana's words, it made him happy to hear her tell this story, It brought back happy memories. He stretched and put his hands behind his head as Lana continued.

"We got out of the car and went to see what had happened, you want to know what we found?

"Uh hu, Yeah!" Evan exclaimed.

"Laying there all alone, in a huge crater, was a beautiful baby boy!" Lana continued.

Evans eyes lit up, "No way!"

"Yes way!" Lana chuckled.

"Your mom was amazing," Clark chimed in and placed a hand on Lana's shoulder. "I just stood there baffled, but she charged right in and picked that baby up with out a second thought, she was fearless."

Lana looked up at her husband and pressed her lips against his hand, she turned back to Evan."So there we were, two teenagers and a baby who's parents were nowhere to be found."

"What did you do?" Evan asked excitedly.

"We took him to the hospital of course," Lana replied. "We we're going to have to leave him there all by himself, but luckily daddy jumped in and took control! He brought the little guy home and looked after him like he was his own."

"We looked after him," Clark interjected. "I couldn't have done it without you and mom Lana."

"Oh come on now, you were a natural and you know it," She turned to him and smiled. "From The first time I saw you holding that baby I knew you'd be an amazing father some day."

He returned her smile and gently squeezed her shoulder.

"What happened next?" Evan listened intently.

"Well daddy and I decided that we needed to give the little guy a name."

"It was Evan! Wasn't it?"

Lana laughed. "Yes, it was Evan."

"Then what happened?"

Clark picked up where Lana left off. "Well we soon found out that there was something, special, about Evan."

"What was it?" The young boy asked.

"Let's just say, he grew up too fast," Clark tried to explain. "Before we knew it he was already learning to read and write. Evan was hungry for knowledge," Clark reached out and placed his other hand on his son's small shoulder, "Just like you."

"He was a huge influence on our lives," Lana pointed out. "That's why years later, when daddy and I found out that we were going to have a little boy of our own, we knew we wanted a name that would be meaningful to both of us."

"So you picked Evan, because of how special he was?"

"That's right son," Clark confirmed. "You remind us more and more of him every day, clark looked over at Lana and their eyes met.

"That is so cool! I'm pretty lucky to have the same name as him, but I have a question."

"What would that be?" Lana asked as she hoisted the boy up onto his feet and got back up on the couch.

"Where is Evan now? I'd really like to meet him."

Clark and Lana turned to each other and somber looks came over them. Clark sighed and took on the task of explaining, "He stayed with us for a little while, but eventually he had to leave."

"Where did he go?" Evan pressed.

a melancholy look washed over Lana's face.

"He went to a better place bud, somewhere he could be happy and would never have to be alone ever again," Clark explained.

Evan looked over at his mother and saw a single tear run down her cheek. "Oh," a frown crept across his face. "Well ya know what? I don't think he's really gone. I think I've got some part of him, in me."

Clark beamed with pride for his son, "I can't argue with that."

Lana wiped the tear away and took the child's hands. "I'll tell you what I told Evan all those years ago, I think you are the most special little boy that I have ever met."

Evan reached out for both of them and they leaned in for a group hug. "I love you momma, you too daddy."

"We love you too bud." Clark replied.

"Our sweet boy," Lana kissed the top of Evans head.
