Clark looked at Conner confused.
"What did he just call me?" Clark asked extremely confused.
"Clark, honey, your father and I found him out on the road, he says his name is Conner and he came down in some sort of flash of light." Martha said knowing it was now ok to reveal that piece of information since Chloe knew Clark's secret.
"Daddy!" Conner yelled again as he super sped over to Clark and pounced on him with a hug that knocked him down to the ground.
Clark studied Conner as he happily sat on Clark's chest bouncing up and down. He had the same exact hair as Clark's only it was dirty blond and his eyes were exactly like Chloe's. On some level Clark knew that this child had to be his and Chloe's because the resemblance was uncanny. Then there was the fact that he had just used two super powers that Clark had himself. Clark gently lifted Conner off of him and stood up. He looked over at Chloe and suddenly felt very embarrassed, as did she. Chloe got down on her knees and gestured to Conner for him to come over to her. Conner stood in front of her embodying the perfect picture of innocence.
"Conner where did you come from?" She asked gently.
Conner reached out his hand and softly touched Chloe's hair.
"You're pwetty mommy." He said.
A warm smile spread across Chloe's face and she playfully ruffled his hair.
"Hey kiddo maybe you can you tell me that last thing that you remember?"
"I remember that Daddy showed up and I was happy because I didn't see him in a real long time. But you were both real sad cause you said some mean people were after me because I was special and you had to send me somewhere safe for a while."
"Hey mom, dad, would you mind giving Chloe and I some time alone with Conner." Clark asked.
"Sure son, come on Martha let's go." Jonathan said ushering Martha out of the kitchen.
Chloe stood up and walked over to Clark. Conner sat down on the floor and started to play with Clark's dog Shelby when he trotted into the room. They looked at each other slightly blushing.
"Well I guess I'll state the obvious and say that this is extremely weird." Chloe said.
"No kidding." Clark responded. "At first I though the kid was just confused but look at him Chloe, he's the spitting image of both of us."
"I know it's kind of eerie. So what do you think he's from the future or something?" Chloe asked.
"Hey stranger things have happened."
"Yeah." Chloe laughed out.
"What?" Clark asked.
"I was just thinking that it's really weird to think that we had a kid I mean after all you are in love with Lana Lang and we did agree to be just friends."
"I guess things changed." Clark said smiling at her.
Chloe smiled back at him and then looked over at Conner who was now curled up next to Shelby fast asleep. Clark walked over to him and scooped him up.
"Come on we'll bring him up to the loft." Clark said as Chloe opened up the back door and they brought him up to the loft.
Clark gently placed Conner down onto the couch and draped an old quilt over him.
"God he's so adorable." Chloe said.
"Yeah he look's exactly like you." Clark said gently nudging Chloe.
"So he said something about us having to send him away because someone was after him." Clark said.
"Well if he's your son then he probably got most of your powers. I'm guessing someone found out and they wanted to take him away."
"But why would we just send him away like that? Don't you think with my powers I would've been able to stop who ever was trying take him?"
"Clark maybe they were stronger then you."
Clark and Chloe sat down next to Conner on the couch and watched in silence as their son slept.
Back on the country road where Conner had first appeared another bright light flashed and a group of men in army fatigues appeared. A tall strong man who looked to be the leader of the group crouched down and ripped up a piece of the cement and smelt it.
"The boy has been here." He said coldly. "Spread out and search the fields for him."
At his command the men in army fatigues immediately spread out and started searching through the cornfields.
