“Besides, when will we find a better time to tell your family about the baby? If we duck out now, you know how hard it will be to bring this up later. And it won’t be very long before your condition will be too obvious to ignore.”

As the door opened, she realized that she had come face to face with—an abomination! Lois stared openmouthed at the space above her sister’s head.

Lucy laughed and said, “C’mon Sis, it’s not that bad.”

“It” was a huge, broad brimmed green hat shaped like a Christmas tree. It must have been a foot tall and was covered with tiny ornaments, flashing lights and fake snow. On the brim of the hat was a Santa’s sleigh complete with tiny reindeer and Santa himself. At the top of the tree was a crystal star that was rotating and every so often would twinkle with the refracted light from miniature lights on the tree.

Before Lois could answer, Clark spoke up. “Yeah. That was some vacation.” Then Clark leaned in and started nuzzling her neck.

This seemed to catch Sam’s attention. “So, was it someone’s private island? It must have been difficult to get there.”

Clark now seemed happy to answer every question that came his way. “Nobody owns it. I found it flying and we just flew there.”

Ellen replied, “Why yes. I found this odd red one in a curio shop in Kansas City a few years ago.” Ellen got up and stepped over to the tree. She reached in among the branches and took out what was obviously a chunk of red Kryptonite carved into the shape of Santa.

Sam interjected, “Lois, your baby… Is it … well, Clark’s?” This brought four angry stares from the rest of the room. Very quickly Sam tried to explain. “I’m sorry about how that sounds, but Son, you’re an alien, aren’t you?”

He’s a very human-compatible alien.

Clark elevated his eyes slightly then answered. “I will on one condition. I want to borrow that hat to wear to the Planet’s office Christmas party this year. It’ll go perfect with the tie that I plan to wear.”
