Baby Love Page #5

---

I left you our mobile numbers.

Plus our friend's mobile

and her land line.

Don't worry, she'll be fine.

You reckon?

Goodnight, princess.

Don't forget to change her

before bed.

Come on, we're late!

See you later, pet.

And don't forget to burp her.

Don't forget.

Bye.

I'll be quick, as I can't hear.

I've no network.

How's it going?

Which wine?

What do you mean, no burp?

She has to burp, we told you!

Okay, massage her tummy.

And then tap her on the back.

No, you tap her...

Can't hear you, I'm hanging up.

Red or white, Philippe?

Pisses me off!

We told her to burp her.

Told her loud and clear.

Nods her head,

but doesn't listen.

How'd you like the lamb?

Rare?

Sh*t! Did we tell her about Teddy?

- I'll call back.

- No.

I'll do it.

Laetitia, it's Manu.

Did you remember

to give her Teddy?

You're an angel. Thanks.

I'll let you go.

We won't be long.

See you in a bit.

It's okay.

She did it off her own bat.

But she's so immature, it's scary.

So...

We tell her?

Yes.

Right.

We were thinking...

we'd be really happy

if you'd agree

to be Zlie's godmother.

Something up, Cathy?

Not happy?

Yes, I am.

It's just that...

I don't understand.

It should be me who...

Yet here I am sitting pretty,

while you two bugger away!

It's just not f***ing fair!

Dammit!

I enjoy contact with children.

I always wanted to have kids,

but so far it hasn't happened.

And as time goes by

I feel an ever deeper need.

I guess it's quite normal.

Why not do this with a man?

Let's say, my personal history

has led me to be single

and I don't really want

to base my life

on the hope of a possible meeting.

Fine.

Shall we visit?

This is the kitchen,

small and functional,

entirely fitted.

Fine, perfect.

Excuse me.

My fault.

The bedroom.. .

Nice and bright.

Next to the child's room.

I hope.

She's coming.

There she is.

She's so pretty.

Wonderful.

Isn't she just.

Thanks for the outfit.

Like it?

The outfit?

That we gave them.

Where's Zlie's mom?

Zlie's mom?

She's gone.

On a trip.

- To America.

- To Japan.

To Japan.

So we're looking after her.

Drop of wine anyone?

Sure, I'll have some.

When's she coming back?

Well, it's not.. .

I don't know.

Nor I.

Kids, why don't you go play

in the yard?

Dad, it's snowing!

- Make a little snowman.

- A big snowman.

Sleep tight, my beauty.

Nighty-night...

Goodnight, my pet.
