I loved it. My favorite lines were the end when she realized it was Lois and Clark that visited them. Great little ficlet.

Oooh what a lovely ficlet! Martha's feelings and introspection are so well done!

And OMG, the ending!! That was brilliant!! How mind-blowing must it be to recognize your son in the person of a man you saw 27 years ago?

Great job!! So emotional! love

k Callan was the perfect actress to portray the updated version of Martha Kent. When I first saw the pilot I thought, 'this is the best Martha ever! This sensitive tale was beautifully written and shows her strength and deep inner beauty.

The ending was a sweet surprise. It figures Martha would remember that unusual couple they meet so many years ago. It is a pity that was never mentioned in the series.

Again, a wonderful story. wave

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Thanks for a lovely story! It made me melt, especially the surprise at the end. Martha would remember that. Keeping Martha and Jonathan in the show was a great idea and the casting was brilliant.

Hi Sara!
Quote
From the moment she held him in her arms, her heart knew that he was hers. But given the bizarre day they had, her mind took a little longer to catch up.
Ah, I see, you sure set up expectations rather quickly. Indeed, death by waff rather than laugh.

Quote
she doesn’t actually have superpowers (I don’t think...at least not of the Kryptonian variety).
Aww…careful with any lasso-like rope-implements that may have come with the baby blanket.

Quote
and a cloth diaper she had already hand-laundered twice.
Is it red? On an unrelated note, in Madame Ex, his red briefs have quite a lot of padding around the leg holes. The whole getup got a bit of a diaper feel going on.

Quote
He’d had no clothes, only the deep blue blanket he’d been swaddled in and a cloth diaper she had already hand-laundered twice.
CLARK: Mom! Do you have to tell Lois that story?
LOIS: Super-dookie laugh

Quote
If she had to guess, she’d say the little guy was only a few months old.
And 143 light years.

Quote
He was a relatively calm baby, too, though her heart twisted at the thought that maybe he’d learned to be silent from being put inside that capsule.
It’s how Kryptonian parents try to get their babies to sleep. Three orbits around Krypton usually do the trick.

Quote
and the capsule back to the safety of their home.
Makes you wonder, what about a radio tracker that would surely be built into the capsule.

Quote
But he’d been warningly cautious in telling her that they were not to keep the baby—he wasn’t theirs.
Finders, keepers!

Quote
That’s not what you say when a couple comes to your home and tells you they're looking for a baby!” Martha fussed.
You never know, them city folk might try to buy one. Best get them out of here quickly.

Quote
And she didn’t look like... well, not that I know what a mother who’s lost her baby looks like, but she wasn’t it. She was...she didn’t seem like a mother in distress, but I do know she cared about the man a great deal—that was plain to see.”
She was one of them company women who run around with guns and shoot them foreign spies in their beds.

Quote
She’d need to tell Jonathan to get rid of the spacecraft, somewhere no one would find it. And anyone who came searching for a baby now?
Get rid of them, too. Jonathan should hide them where no one would find them.

Quote
but the last thing she’d ever do was let anyone hurt her boy. Her boy.
And yet, she allowed Clark to hang out with Lana.

Quote
Martha was struck by the sight of her there across the town square, the woman standing next to Clark in the middle of the Smallville Corn Festival
Oh boy.

Quote
However they’d managed to get to 1966 that day...well, she’d probably never know. But there was something about all this that was always meant to be. She just knew. The End
That’s a twist clap

Yes, this was certainly more heartfelt than funny. smile1

Aaaaaaaggggghhhhhh! What a fantastic way to tie that all together. So many feels! I wondered what Martha and Jonathan would have said/felt when Clark grew up to loom like the visitor from their past. This explained it all perfectly.
