ROTFLMAO Dave!!  I'll have to thank Wendy for making you post this.  It's really sweet, too, though. It's just like him to be this faithful to her.  ) Julie

LOL!!!! Okay, I guess I hate those "forever-pre"-relationship stories as much as Wendy possibly loves them! Ah, those stories which end by telling us that Clark and Lois may actually become friends sometime in the (far) future. Or those where Clark is contemplating telling Lois his secret, but then again, acting rashly is never a good idea.... Or those which get them stuck in a Tempus-created time loop, where they can never progress past cuddling on the couch, so that they can never have any children of their own and Tempus has made sure that Utopia can never happen. Well! Those of you who love the "forever-pre" tales, David has written the ultimate, ultimate story for you! Come back here and read it whenever you think Clark is coming on to Lois a little bit too strong. And all you wonderful writers out there, now that David has given all of us this immaculate tribute to pure platonic yearning, perhaps you can take Clark and Lois past the lull of eternal "pre" now? Pretty please? Ann

OMG, Dave I was so confused as to why they were in a hospital at first... I thought it was going to be something horrible and sad. And, well, this scenario was both horrible and sad, but just not in the way I thought. And you, mister, are just badddd!! But bad like GOOD because that gave me a really good laugh! So thank you for sharing! And thank you Wendy for pushing Dave to post this! ~NICOLE

 Gotta love satire.  And the fact that Clark is physically an old man! Thanks, Dave. c. (who is choosing to believe that although Lois never accepted the marriage proposal, the two had had a decades-long passionalte affair and that Clark's patience was not physical, but just a hope that they would marry for the sake of their kids. )

I don't get it. Why is everyone saying that this is funny? Or really horribly sad and mean? Don't you think it's just so romantic? I mean, he really will wait forever for her.  Loved it, Dave.  (And, yeah, I like Carol's interpretation too ) Wendy

I'm in total agreement with Wendy -- it's just so sweetly romantic: Clark felt his heart lighten. He couldn't resist her charms, even after all this time. "Of course," he whispered, bringing her hand to his lips and smiling softly. He was a patient man. He'd given her time, and he'd give her more. He'd give her forever. Just ... *gah.* I don't have enough words. Just ... that's it. That's love. The end. Oops; P.S. Lovely vignette, Dave -- I'm glad Wendy convinced you to post this!

ROFL!! You made me do a double-take there. It's sweet, but also twisted. He would wait forever...Awww. He has to wait forever...Boooo. Although it does make Lois look like an evil fiend for keeping that poor man waiting so long. Unless Carol's interpretation is taken into account in which case I withdraw my comment. Thanks, Dave
