Another update everyone. Last day of school for two weeks so I'll get updates up a lot quicker. I'm working on the next chapter the now and it should be a bit longer than all the other chapters. Again I don't own anything, but Alyssa is kinda mine.


Alyssa woke with a jump. She was sprawled across her bed with the duvet on the floor. She looked out of the window and it was still dark. She couldn't face going back to sleep because of a horrible reoccurring dream she kept having.

Nearly ten minutes later, Alyssa quietly tip-toed down the hall and into Clark's room. It actually took a while to find his room. First she looked into the bathroom, then her new parent's room, and then the cupboard and then she found his room. She walked in and gently tapped him to try to wake him but failed. So she tried shaking him which actually worked.

"Huh? Alyssa?" Clark said tiredly, "What's up?"

"I can't sweep Clark. I keep having these terrible dweams and I don't want to be alone." Alyssa whispered to him.

"Do you wanna stay in here for the night?" Clark asked.

"Uh-huh." Alyssa nodded then climbed in the small bed. Then Clark gently wrapped his arms around her and hugged her.

The alarm clock went off. It was 6:15. Jonathon had to get up to do all the farm work. Sometimes he got Clark to help, but most of the time he made more mess than the animals. Last time he helped, he tripped on the hose and fell into a lot of horse mess (or as Clark calls it "Horsey doo-doo). It took Martha nearly a week to get the smell and mess out of his clothes.

Jonathon looked over at his wife. She was peacefully sleeping. He moved her hair out of her face and then left the room. While he was going down the hall, Jonathon decided to check on Alyssa. He silently opened the bedroom door, peeked his head around the door and saw that Alyssa wasn't there.

Jonathon started to worry. Alyssa had only been there less than 24 hours and she was already gone. He thought for a moment. She and Clark were getting along very well, so he checked Clark's room and here sitting up on the bed was little Alyssa and her new brother Clark.

"Hi Daddy," Clark said, looking over at his father with a big grin on his face going from ear-to-ear.

"Hey kids. What are you two doing up so early?" Jonathon asked walking further into the room.

"We weren't really tired, can we get some breakfast?" Clark asked.

"Sure and you both can help me with the farm chores afterwards." Alyssa's face brightened. She had never got asked to help with anything. She was so excited. She couldn't wait until after she ate her breakfast.


I'll update in the next few days, and thanks for your reviews and please keep them coming!
