On her way home from the hospital, DJ Tanner & Tommy Fuller were driving home in Tommy'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 DJ 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 DJ & Tommy's family from her, what had she ever done to deserve it all. After DJ & Tommy 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 DJ'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 DJ's surprise, it was getting closer, right to her location...

Tommy 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. DJ & Tommy 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?!" DJ gasped, while still catching her breath.

"I have no idea, Deej..." Tommy said, while catching his breath back aswell.

DJ 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.

"DJ, What are you doing? Where are you going?" Tommy called with worry, as he got out of the truck aswell, while grabbing a torch also...

DJ & Tommy 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. DJ & Tommy knew judging by its shape, design & features, it was surely not of earthly design. DJ & Tommy may have come from families of very unusual & supernatural beliefs, but she had other beliefs outside of them. Tommy 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 DJ 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 DJ & Tommy to cough a bit. When the steam and gas cleared, DJ & Tommy was able to see, as she & her husband gasped in shock, to see what was inside the ship.

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

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

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

DJ slowly, and gently got the infant boy out of the ship,and held him close to her chest, not taking his eyes off him for one micro-second. DJ gave a big smile, seeing how beautiful the infant boy was, despite her being not of earthly origin. As DJ & Tommy looked at her, a tear fell from DJ's eye, before falling on the little baby Kal-El's head, causing her to slowly wake up, opening his eyes, which gave a slight glow of red light, before turning baby, as he gurgled, before looking at DJ & Tommy in curiosity. The baby Kal-El than gave a loving smile before gurgled and laughing sweetly at DJ & Tommy, as DJ then began giving her a gentle rocking, as she & Tommy then noticed an odd word from inside the ship. DJ & Tommy weren't sure whether that was the baby Kal-El's, or where the baby Kal-El 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... DJ & Tommy knew now she didn't just have a new 'son', they had a lifelong mission: Protect this infant alien, while keeping her true origin a secret...

"Don't worry, we'll protect you, son..." DJ gently whispered, before gently kissing her new infant son 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..." Tommy said & wondered what to name their new alien son...

"I know, how about: Jackson? Jackson Michael Fuller for her full name?" DJ asked in wonder...

"I like it, we can even help him. Son." Tommy smiled, as he let baby Kal-El/Jackson grab one of his fingers, before nearly breaking it accidently with his grip...
