Nine Months Later

Summary: Its nine months since the Kent's lives forever.

"Jonathan, the only word he has spoken since we brought him home is "Lara". What do you think it means?" Martha asked as she looked over at the little boy playing on the floor. She walked over to Jonathan and embraced him in a hug.

"Sweetheart, it may take time for him to say something else." Jonathan pointed out as he wrapped his arms around his wife's waist. He rested his chin on her head as they both looked at their little miracle. They both saw Clark walking over to them and looked up at them with a smile on his face.

Martha saw him looking at them. She looked down at him and asked, "Clark, baby, what is it?"

She saw that he had his arms up in the air. "Do you want me to pick you up, baby?"

Clark nodded his head yes.

Martha picked Clark up in her arms. "Oh, honey, what is it? Clark who am I?" Martha asked her little boy.

He smiled at her as he said, "Mommy." Clark saw her face light up when he said that word.

"Oh, Jonathan, did you hear that? Clark called me mommy. She rocked him in her arms as she turned around to the man with sandy blond hair.

"Yes, sweetheart, I did. My son knows who his mommy is." He looked down at their little boy who was laughing at the moment in his mother's arms.

Clark's eyes met his father's. He latched one arm around his father and the other arm around his mother. He saw both his parents look at him with smiles on their faces.

Martha walked over to the couch with her little miracle in her arms. Now, let's see if you can sleep for awhile. He started to cry when he heard his mom say that. "It's ok, Clark… Mommy will be right here when you wake up. Now, baby, I will rock you until you fall asleep." Five minutes later, Clark was sound a sleep in her arms.

Jonathan was watching over Martha's shoulders, seeing their special little boy lying in his wife's arms. He whispered in Martha's ear, "You will make a great mother." After he told her that, he gave her a kiss on the forehead, and then walked into the kitchen, sitting down on a chair at the table.

Martha walked over to the table with Clark in her arms. She saw her husband sitting on a chair at the table. "What's wrong, honey?" Martha asked as she kissed Jonathan on the lips.

"Nothing, sweetheart, I feel like the luckiest man in Smallville. I have a wonderful son and a beautiful wife." He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her neck. He looked down at Clark, giving him a kiss on the forehead.

A few minutes after Clark woke up from his nap, he started screaming for no reason. He ran right pass his parents and went up to his room. Jonathan and Martha tried to stop him but they couldn't. They ran upstairs after him, following him into his room.

They walked into their son's room to see what was bothering him. Martha and Jonathan knew he couldn't talk to them because the only two words he knew how to say were "Lara" and "Mommy"… Even though Martha and Jonathan had no idea what "Lara" meant.

"Baby, did you just have a bad dream while you were napping?" Jonathan asked Clark. In response, he nodded his head yes.
