I like Jonathan's ideas about him courting Lois. Also, I like how Martha helped Clark to realize what Lois' POV might be.
I have a friend who adopted two teenage girls. Their sister was a single, emancipated adult when she got pregnant. My friend called me and said, "J has never had a mom and has no husband. She knows nothing about childbirth and neither do I. You're coming over and telling her what to expect." I wish Lois had someone like that. She has no mom and Martha has never been through childbirth, just like J. But there's no one she can call, except maybe her doctor friend.
