With Chris Davis and Jonathan Kent as Clark's parental role models, his actions with Lois and her baby make far more sense now. He has two strong examples of selfless love and sacrifice in his heart and mind all the time. No wonder he didn't really hesitate to protect Lois and her unborn child, even though it's looking more and more like the snowy interlude at the cabin was the real deal where they were concerned.
And I love how you presented Jonathan. He loves Martha, so anyone who comes with her is automatically part of the package. Many men (like Mr. Smith) wouldn't be so eager to raise another man's child - which, to me, is false macho pride wrapped up in immaturity - he adopts Clark as hie own son. He's a real gem, and Martha was lucky to have two fine men like Chris and Jonathan in her life.
Looking for more, Carol. It just keeps getting better and better.
