The Family Hour Interlude

I think that the scene after this (where Clark returns to the Planet and tells Lois that, according to Dr. Klein, they are unable to have children together) is pretty much the saddest scene in the entire series, and I cry every time, every time I watch it.

So, I wrote this a while ago, to give just a little bit of behind-the-scenes hope, but never got around to posting it.

Let me know what you think.

Thank you for this. Love it

Ahh, I'm glad you loved it!!

Thank you for reading!

Really loved this!
I want more

Dr. Klein really is an awesome character.
Thanks for writing this

Yay!! Glad you loved it!

Dr. Klein is indeed an interesting character, and I've never tried to write from his POV before, so this was a challenge! Plus, maybe even more of a challenge since he needs to be quite serious -- somehow -- to deliver this news to Superman.

Thanks for reading!!

Hi Bek!
Superman reported that he attempted conception on the full moon, half moon, quarter moon, new moon, and even during a blood moon. He tried it after dancing the Ngongu tribe fertility dance. Every conceivable measure had been taken, but to no avail.

Which means they now have to do it the normal way – cloning. Maybe they can even track down the scientist who created the Lex-Superman chimera.

The genes are backwards?

Awwww…he figured out that the child must appear before the conception for human-kryptonian reproduction to be successful

I do wonder now if that is just a happy tag-on to give us hope, or if it shows how Bernie is toiling away at his own version of Sysiphus' labor.

Thanks for the little interlude, and now back to our regularly scheduled Bek story.

What a thoughtful way to fix an episode that always made me sad. After so many adventures, misunderstandings and joy Lois and Clark endured, not being able to conceive a child had to have been the most heartbreaking, still there is light at the end of the tunnel.


Bernie to the rescue!

You said the bad "c" word! No! No clones!!



I'd like to think that it's a happy tag-on to give us all hope

Thanks for reading! (And good luck catching up with Destined... Chapter 3 of Friends will be posted...tomorrow. You're a few chapters behind still)

Definitely, I thought the scene with Clark telling Lois what Bernie had said was the saddest scene in the whole series.

And it's always been my headcanon that Bernie's assessment was wrong and that Lois and Clark were indeed biologically compatible and could have children. So...I thought I'd write this little interlude to fix that right up there.

Thank you for reading, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

Hi Bek!

This reminds me of Harley Quinn (the HBO animated one)

Yes, so we are not supposed to call Lois the c-word, I gather.

LOIS: Ya think?
