I hoist him up, his small hands catching in my loose hair. “Good morning, Kol Zor-El!” I declare, voice brimming with affection. you lets out a tired sound from near the coffee maker. “His name is Connor. *Connor. With my last name.*” I brush a kiss over the baby’s warm cheek, dismissing the objection. Kol coos, stretching toward the cookie jar. “Love, don’t,” you cautions. “It’s only one,” I counter, already placing the treat in his eager grasp. I stand there in my ridiculous slippers, the Woman of Steel, smiling at this scene—a Kryptonian baby smeared with sugar, the dog cleaning a pan, and the gentle chaos of a home.
