And Baby makes...

Summary: A short, WAFFy picnic scene with the family Kent. 

***

Scene:  Some wilderness area with spectacular views, obviously
out in the middle of nowhere, probably in North America

Cast:

Clark Kent        Dean Cain
Lois Lane         Teri Hatcher
Baby Kent-Lane    any sweet under 4 year old you've seen recently


Lois:    [Carrying Baby in sling] This is the spot, this is where
         we came last time. It's just wonderful.  I never thought
         I'd love the great outdoors but I love this spot...

Clark:   [breathing deeply; he's carrying the picnic basket; he
         has also carried the two other people] Yes, this is a
         great place, though I think I like parts of Switzerland
         better...

Lois:    Next time.

Clark:   Umm, when we get your suit fixed up... [spreads out
         blanket] Okay. Give her to me.

Baby:    [gurgles]

Lois:    No way, I know exactly what you'll do.

Clark:   No, I won't, I promise.

Baby:    [gurgles]

Lois:    Yeah, I bet... [but she hands the baby over anyhow
         because she needs both hands for other things]

Clark:   Hi, doll... Daddy promised he wouldn't, but...

Baby:    [gurgles]

Lois:    Clark...

Clark:   Just once.  [Toss]  Look at her go!

Baby:    [gurgles] "Wheeeeeeeeeee!"

Lois:    Clark, go get her, you know she's not good at landing yet.

Clark:   She just needs practice and this is the perfect place for
         it.

Lois:    Go get her. Now.

Clark:   [pointing toward the horizon] Oh, look! She's making
         friends with an eagle! I never got to do that when I was
         little...

Lois:    Your parents had no idea - and I can't see her! Clark, if
         you lose her again I *really* won't forgive you this
         time!

Clark:   All right, all right [takes off]

Lois:    [sighs] And they say fatherhood makes men mature...

Clark:   [distantly]  I heard that...

Lois:    [addressing the air] Well, hear this, buddy: if she gets
         her clothes dirty or torn, *you're* fixing them - *and*
         you can explain it to your mother!

THE END

[Hmm, maybe I should have named this "Neverending Battle"....]
