So sweet and beautiful!  Thank you for picking up the challenge. That scene deserved a WAFFy context to go along. Clark as a dad is so natural as him flying. One of the Action Comics writers said it was "almost too easy" to write him as a father. It suits him perfectly. Thank you! You brightened my day!  Now, how Lois ended up with 4 kids could be a prompt for another fic.   Andreia

I love this slice of life fic. It’s beautiful and so sweet. I can’t get enough of Lois and Clark happily together with kids. Clark would be an awesome father. Thanks for brightening my day and making me smile! I needed this!

Now, how Lois ended up with 4 kids could be a prompt for another fic. Andreia Oh boy, right? I have two kids, and they're more than enough for me! Four kids ...  especially considering they weren't even supposed to be able to have children... And, although I didn't go into that much detail, I'm picturing the girls here as twins  I do just love the idea of Clark as a dad -- as long as he is able to balance his time with being Superman, which I imagine is very difficult... I'm glad you loved this. Thanks for reading!! -Bek

Thanks for brightening my day and making me smile! I needed this! So happy to brighten your day! That was what I needed with this fic, and so that was what I wanted to give everyone else too! Clark would have been an amazing father, I think, and I do wish we'd gotten a few more seasons so we'd maybe have gotten to see that.  Thank you for reading!! -Bek

It’s all part of this dance that he and I started years ago. It’s all part of this amazing journey, this beautiful life we’ve built together.
And it may be messy and difficult sometimes…chaotic, loud, and boisterous.
But I wouldn’t have it any other way. Neither would we, Lois. Neither would we. What a lovely snapshot to see the Kent family happy and thriving! Such simple days provide joyful memories for the future.

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Wonderful memories for all of them. Glad you liked it! Thank you for reading This is so sweet! I love a little WAFFy slice of life story. Thank you! It was fun to write (and somehow came together really easily...normally these short ones are difficult for me to write!). Thanks again for reading! -Bek

Hi Bek! Oooh, a short one /squeezes it in before part 12 of Destined: Legacy/ Mornings are always a little chaotic for the Kents. But sometimes, they need to slow down and take a minute or two to just…dance This is sneaky. The ‘chaotic’ reference indicates Lois and Clark, the generic ‘Kents’ could also imply Martha & Jonathan. I pop a piece of bread into the toaster and glance at my watch. Sounds like Lois because Martha wouldn’t make toast. Post read note: Although, isn’t it dangerous if Lois prepares heated bread without supervision? At least one of their kids should be present to make sure nothing gets burned down? Maybe I’ll somehow manage to wrangle them into the van Ah, younger Kents. With young ones. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, preparing myself to issue some magical words in a nice, calm voice…words that will get everyone to quiet down and finish their breakfast with only kind things to say to each other. And with lots of sharing and generosity. /Squints/ I shake my head. Right. I’m not magical, and I won’t have those words. Oh. I really thought it would be something like ‘your dad would be disappointed to see you quarrelling like that’. I love you. Sorry I was late getting back.” So, is the fearsome foursome a reference to Lois’s quadruplets dream or just happenstance? Post read: yes, I did assume the twinuation for the girls. “Let’s go, kiddos, or we’ll be late. And you know what that means!”
With a big groan, Jon, Ellie, and Laura all grumble, in unison, “Ugh, Mom will have to drive!” no interest in adventure? And it may be messy and difficult sometimes…chaotic, loud, and boisterous.
But I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The End. Awwwwww Sweet little viggy! Which ones are Clark’s and which ones Kals. Just kidding, they wouldn’t want to know. Unless…well…to be fair…those who start to fly would give their biologic parentage away.   Michael

You're right I suppose that was a little sneaky. Hehe I pop a piece of bread into the toaster and glance at my watch. Sounds like Lois because Martha wouldn’t make toast. Post read note: Although, isn’t it dangerous if Lois prepares heated bread without supervision? At least one of their kids should be present to make sure nothing gets burned down?  Good thing there are four kids there! Hehe Maybe I’ll somehow manage to wrangle them into the van Ah, younger Kents. With young ones. Indeed! I love you. Sorry I was late getting back.” So, is the fearsome foursome a reference to Lois’s quadruplets dream or just happenstance? Post read: yes, I did assume the twinuation for the girls. Just happenstance I was going to give them five children to match the comic panel from Sara's challenge, but that seemed like a lot  “Let’s go, kiddos, or we’ll be late. And you know what that means!”

Hi Bek! Good thing there are four kids there! Hehe Let’s hope Lois never starts a five-kid-fire I was going to give them five children to match the comic panel from Sara's challenge, but that seemed like a lot Did you ever read Nan Smith’s Dagger Series? Not sure just how many there, though. And Lara Joelle Kent’s Just Like Lois. There’s 12 kids there. Some twins, though. Adventure is not the same as imminent death LOIS: I never died! And we never needed Superman on the scene when Clark was in the car with me.  Hey, wait a minute! I ... really have a few more vignettes to write ... don't I?? Lol Let me borrow Sara’s classic response:  Michael
