Clara was used to the quiet of the nineteenth century. Everyone in this century was in such a hurry to go no place. They traveled she heard from one end of the country, a country that now consisted of fifty states in three hours. That was from California to New York. How could you see the sights at such a pace? No she did not like it.

Everywhere she turned was something amazing for her to see. The telephone was something else. You could talk to anywhere in the world without even talking to an operator. The electric lights she was used to but now there were computers.

People had not changed and Marty-s family was wonderful. She was welcomed at his home anytime and his mother was heaven sent. She showed Clara how to do so many things.

Loraine McFly watched her new friend the wife of Doc Brown. There was something very strange about her. She had no clue how to even turn on an oven. When she had shown her things, she seemed surprised and unfamiliar with them. These were all common things, a doorbell a television, a radio a washer and dryer, so many things. It was as if Clara was from another time.

That sent Loraine to thinking once again of the young man that she had met when she was in high school. His name had been Marty and her youngest son was the spitting image of him. Her Marty even sounded the same. 'What was going on? Had the doc invented some sort of time machine?' she wondered. She would talk to George.

Now she and the doc were going to have a baby in about twenty-nine weeks and she could not wait. In her time the doctor would tell them spring or a season. She carried the picture that they had given her and the doc of the baby with her everywhere. She held it close to her heart.

The doc was always busy working on perfecting other aspects of the time machine, so Clara found herself with a lot of time on her hands. She walked the streets of Hill Valley and was starting to get used to the new city. She was getting to know Marty's sister Linda and had been to her shop many times.

The biggest surprise had been when she came to the school. The high school was so large that Marty and Jennifer attended. The city had grown so much that in the four grades there were now over one thousand students alone. She had gone into the school and applied for a job as a teacher's assistant. The Doc was good friends with the principal and he was glad to have Clara. She was a very nice lady.

Clara had heard so many times from the other teachers how poor their pay was she was expecting a small check of about one dollar. She almost fainted when her first check was for over two hundred dollars. She made less than that as a teacher in a year a century ago.

Each day Clara walked to the school and got to meet the students. Although, the students clothing had changed and their hair certainly was different she found that their hopes and dreams were the same of the students that she had a century before. This made teaching in the twentieth century as awarding to her as it had been in the nineteenth century. In this time it did not matter that she was pregnant and married she was welcome as a teacher until she could not work any longer. Then once the baby was born she was welcome to come back. She was a little sorry knowing that once the baby was born she and the Doc would be leaving that time once again.

As the weeks passed, Clara and the Doc settled down and become quite comfortable in this time. The Doc thought about perhaps making this his home time, but knew that was not a good idea. There were too many things in this time that might cause them to found out.

Clara kept every appointment with the doctor and just after new years she and the doc found out that they were going to have a little boy. They both were so excited. Because of their favorite author, they decided his name was going to be Jules. The doc had immediately started looking for things for a little boy. He and Clara could not wait for the day that he was born.

The Doc had been very nervous when Marty's father had started hinting that they suspected that he might have invented a time machine. He had convinced him otherwise, but the Doc knew that George and his wife suspected what was going on and eventually he would have to admit it.

Marty and Jennifer remained their best friends and came over almost everyday. They were going to be graduating from high school just after the baby was born. The couple were so sweet and if it hadn't been for them Clara might have made a real fool of herself more than once in this time.

Clara was starting to feel like she was getting very big and thought that maybe the little boy would come early. But every week she would wait and nothing would happen. She now wore maternity clothes everywhere. How strange that a woman pregnant can now walk the streets of town without her husband. She saw the ladies pushing strollers with their babies, some even doing it alone. Time certainly had changed from her time.

It was a warm spring day and Clara had not been feeling all that well. She had gone to work and had almost gone home. She had a terrible back ache and figured that the baby was getting ready to be born. The little boy was not due for four days. But as she got up from the chair in the living room her water broke and she knew that the baby was on the way.

Clara called out to the Doc who was busy at his computer. Doc knew that Clara was getting close to her delivery date and had not liked being away from her. She had insisted on keeping on working, but today she seemed to be very tired. He came into the living room and he knew it was time. He picked up the phone and called the doctor. He then grabbed the bag that Clara had packed and they headed to the hospital. Jules was on his way.
