On her way home from the hospital, Pamela Katsopolis & Danny Tanner were driving home in Danny's pickup truck as normal, but inside, they were sad as ever, they'd been through a tough life recently. They had recently learned that Pamela was infertile, & could never had children naturally. She had only just been released from hospital, and it felt like the whole world around them was against them. Nearly everyone she knew had started having their own families, & it all felt like God had taken Pamela & Danny's family from her, what had she ever done to deserve it all. After Pamela & Danny had got married years ago, they had tried for a baby for so long, it was hard enough that nothing was working, but to learn of Margaret's infertility was the final nail on the coffin of their happy future life… or so they thought…

As they were driving along further, she then noticed, in the starry sky above her, that one star seemed to get bigger and bigger, like it was getting closer and closer, to Pamela's surprise, it was getting closer, right to her location…

Danny suddenly slammed his foot on the brakes, stopping the car just in time, just as the star, which was more like a meteor or a comet, crashed into the road in front of her, before crashing into the woods at the side of the road, leaving a long burning earth trail behind from the impact. Pamela & Danny were breathing heavily with fright, having narrowly escaped the surprise impact, before slowly calming down and catching their breath back.

"What in God's name was that?!" Pamela gasped, while still catching her breath.

"I have no idea, Pam…" Danny said, while catching his breath back aswell.

Pamela built up the courage to get out the truck, and go out and investigate the crash site, while using a torch to light her way down the trail to the crash site.

"Pamela, what are you doing? Where are you going?" Danny called with worry, as he got out of the truck aswell, while grabbing a torch also…

Pamela & Danny walked cautiously down the slightly burning impacted trail, being careful that there no wild animals were going to attack them, but was very unlikely to happen, from the impact of the unknown object that fell from the sky, until they finally found & saw what fell from the sky, as they gave a slight gasp each… it was a ship, a pod like comet shaped ship. Pamela & Danny knew judging by its shape, design & features, it was surely not of earthly design. Pamela & Danny may have come from families of very unusual & supernatural beliefs, but she had other beliefs outside of them. Danny had beliefs about life on other planets & in other Galaxies, he was determined to find evidence, but in these moments, it looked like it was best to keep this discovery a secret… As Pamela got so close to touching the metal hull of the spaceship, some steam burst out of a gap in the hull, before opening up, with lots more steam and gas coming out, causing Pamela & Danny to cough a bit. When the steam and gas cleared, Pamela & Danny was able to see, as she & her husband gasped in shock, to see what was inside the ship.

It was a little sleeping baby Kara, a baby girl, who was wrapped in a red blanket with red trim. Pamela cautiously but slowly got closer to the baby Kara, knowing she was surely something alien, but see looked so human, not sure of what could happen.

"Pamela, be careful, we have no idea who this baby is, or even what kind of baby that is…" Danny said cautiously.

"Daniel, keep your voice down, we don't want to wake her & upset her…" Pamela whispered cautiously told her husband to lower his voice.

Pamela slowly, and gently got the infant girl out of the ship,and held her close to her chest, not taking her eyes off her for one micro-second. Pamela gave a big smile, seeing how beautiful the infant girl was, despite her being not of earthly origin. As Pamela & Danny looked at her, a tear fell from Pamela's eye, before falling on the little baby Kara's head, causing her to slowly wake up, opening her eyes, which gave a slight glow of red light, before turning baby, as she gurgled, before looking at Pamela & Danny in curiosity. The baby Kara than gave a loving smile before gurgled and laughing sweetly at Pamela & Danny, as Pamela then began giving her a gentle rocking, as she & Danny then noticed an odd name-like word from inside the ship: Kara Zor-El. Pamela & Danny weren't sure whether that was the baby Kara's name, or where the baby Kara had come from, but they knew if anyone saw or found that word, or found out about this new infant they had found was alien, she'd be treated as an outcast, or rejected but nearly all of humanity… Pamela & Danny knew now she didn't just have a new 'daughter', they had a lifelong mission: Protect this infant alien, while keeping her true origin a secret…

"Don't worry, we'll protect you, little Kara…" Pamela gently whispered, before gently kissing her new infant daughter on her forehead…

"Well, for a start, we're gonna need to give her a different name, a more earth bound name for that matter…" Danny said in concern & wonder of what to name their new alien daughter…

"I know, how about: Donna? Donna Jo Tanner for her full name?" Pamela asked in wonder…

"I like it, we can even nickname her: DJ." Danny smiled, as he let baby Kara/DJ grab one of his fingers, before nearly breaking it accidently with her grip…
