Bodie and Doyle were lounging in the agents' restroom. They were waiting at CI5 headquarters, until Cowley could give them another assignment. Various bits of paper adorned the coffee table and nosy ex-copper that he was; Doyle was looking through them.

"What's that?" Bodie asked indicating the sheet of paper that Doyle was holding in his hand.

"The Baby of CI5. It's a new story by that new author you were telling me about, Kiki Smith."

"Okay Doyle which one of us gets turned into a baby?"

"Neither of us. Didn't you read the script?"

"Must have missed it. So what's it about then?"

"It's about us looking after baby Lesley."

"Oh."

"Hey, where're you going?" Doyle asked as Bodie started to leave, "Aren't you going to read it?"

"Don't need to now, do I? You already told me what happens. Hey Illya and Napoleon aren't going to show up are they?"

"I don't think so."

"Why not? We showed up in theirs."

"Yeah but that story was longer. Besides, the story's only an excuse for her to write about her niece."

"Has Cowley authorised another crossover?"

"No and woe betide anyone who tries to make it one. You remember what he did the last time?"

"You mean when he forced us to go to dinner with him and the men from Uncle. Not really, I think I fell asleep half way through."

"Yeah well, you're lucky. It got worse after that."

"Doyle?"

"What?"

"About this baby we're looking after."

"Yeah?"

"We're not really going to be looking after her all by ourselves are we? I mean her mum'll still be there."

"Of course her mum'll be there, Bodie. Do you think she'd be dumb enough to leave her with us? Besides she's breast feeding, so we wouldn't be able to feed her if she got hungry."

"Breast feeding? Isn't that supposed to… you know?"

"Yes I know, trust you to think of that. You've got a one-track mind, old son. Tell you one thing for nothing though, I'm not changing any dirty nappies, so she can throw that idea out from the start."

"Dirty nappies? I forgot all about that."

"Yeah well you get to change her. Be good practise for you."

"Practise?"

"Yeah."

"You're not pregnant are you sunshine?"

"No, but I wouldn't be surprised if it turns up in one of her plots."

"So if you're not pregnant, what'll I need practise for?"

"For when one of your old girlfriends shows up with a baby."

"It'll never happen, Goldilocks."

"Why not?"

"Cause I always wear a condom. So that's one story line she isn't pinning on me."

"Oh I dunno, it could still happen, even with a condom, they're not exactly foolproof you know."

"Could still happen?" Bodie asked, raising his voice slightly in an annoyed tone, "The way she writes me? How many girls have I slept with in all her stories put together?"

"Well there was that one…"

"Yeah one… and she was only mentioned briefly. We might not have even done anything."

"Not done anything? You really expect anyone to fall for that one?"

"Doyle the way she writes me… us, I've got a better chance of getting you pregnant than any girl."

The End

and I'll pass your comments along to Kiki.
