Part of Clark is relieved to be holding his newborn son in his arms, but he's also very concerned at how weak the cry is, and how small the baby is. He holds the boy close, staying away from April until her hunger is sated. "Come on, little guy... you'll be okay."

The hatching song stops once the baby is born, and the fire-lizards quietly chatter among themselves. One bold brown dragonet even swoops down to land on Clark's shoulder for a moment, so it can look at the newborn more closely.
