Who: Owen and Ianto
What: Talking and drinking
When: Monday night

Ianto was greeted at the door by Lyssa who smiled at him then looked mournfully at the beer he was carrying. Instead for her there was milkshake which she seemed happy to wander off to the kitchen with while he went to the living room where he hoped he'd find Owen.

"Hey." He held up the beer. "My way of saying thanks. Amazed you still want to see me after the last week." He looked slightly awkward standing about for a moment. Then he suddenly spoke.

"I think I just asked Gwen out on a date."

	Owen snorted. "We can call her teagirl? Ianta?" He was so sure he would get smacked, by either of them at that moment. "See now why we have to be nice to her?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Nothing personal Yan, but like hell we are Owen." He was right, he did get hit. "Wait it's a girl?" Lyssa didn't know, she'd wanted to find out but never really bothered to. "We're having a girl?" She looked at Owen confused. "You..." She frowned, completely speechless what to say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Ow. Fuck, Lyssa, that hurt!" He let go of her stomach and stepped back, rubbing his shoulder where she plowed him one. Damn, she could hit. He'd have to start learning to duck quicker. He grabbed his beer and took a drink, looking at her.

Owen blinked. "Not sure. Have to do an ultrasound to be sure, but I think it is. From the last time we checked you, didn't see no... um, no little thing making it a boy." He winked at her. "You didn't ask so I thought you'd want to be surprised."

Then he looked over at Ianto. "Oh fuck I'm going to have a daughter. She's not dating till she's fucking fifty."

She stood looking down at her stomach, then up at him. "I..." She shrugged and stepped forwards arms around him, hugging him as she could. "I don't care. We have to check make sure. We're gonna have a daughter. Kit's gonna have a sister." So technically halfsister but Lyssa was too happy to care about that triviality then.

"She will get to date before then, you get to scare them though. Give you that." She rested her head on his shoulder.

"I can't believe it." Lyssa grinned at Ianto. "Better start thinking up names."

	Ianto raised his beer. "To your daughter." He took a drink. "You'll have fun trying to enforce that. I don't even want to know what Cooper gets up to. I feel responsible even if she's not mine. You kow what it's like though, with Kit right?" They had something new they could both discuss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Owen smiled a bit wider. He couldn't help but notice that fact, that he and Ianto had more in common now. "Oi, right. Kit! I don't even want to think about what she might be doing. She's mine, but she's not mine. Different universe and all... And I wish to god Diane was here right now to help me with her."

He smiled over at Lyssa, making sure to keep his eyes looking between the two of them. "She was a good person. She would have been a bright mum. Totally brill..."

He looked over at Ianto. "How much time 'ave you spent with Cooper?"

	"Not very much, she's 26, rather likes her mother's company more than mine. I feel like I just get in the way and hear things I shouldn't." Then he felt he could confide in Owen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"She sounds like she could be useful round about now and when Kit was 5." Lyssa curled up on the sofa. "You were adorable Yan." Getting in practice of being embrassing, maybe... "You're not really her dad yet though?" Lyssa looked up to Owen, hoping he had some idea was she was meaning to say and failing spectacularly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Owen handed a beer to Ianto and took his own, motioning for Ianto to follow them back out to the living room. Sitting on the sofa at her feet, he began to massage them, placing his beer on the table.

"We're really not, Ianto. Not really. Sure, we look like their fathers. And, we probably are genetically of the same dna, but... We're not them. We're..." He sighed. "We're carbon copies. Same, but different. We have to learn to be their fathers, start all over in their eyes, practically."

	"I want to, but I don't think I can. Is it selfish of me I just want to be able to worry about what I need to do for a while." He sat down in a chair opposite. "I think that's why it's taken me so long to work things out. That and I couldn't exactly make a proper choice being five apart from where to hide." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nothing_of_note 2008-01-28 01:36 am UTC (link)
	"You were clearly one of a few" Lyssa pointed at Ianto. "The hiding places give it away. He'd be useless." She pointed a toe at Owen. "Only child." She giggled. "I was the brat, youngest of the family." She stuck her tongue out at Owen as if it wasn't clear already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Owen shook his head. "Aw sod it, both of you. Not my fault my mum only got preggers the one time. Knocked up, she did." He sighed. "I'm not always useless. Why do you both torture me so?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-01-28 02:03 am UTC (link)
	"You're right you're not always." He opened his beer and drank. "Because it's funny?" Ianto smirked. "Second of five." He told Lyssa. "So you were sort of right." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"And you're special for it." Lyssa looked over at him best she could, deciding against trying to pull her to him as she was lying on her back, she sat up, turned round and lay back down head on his knees looking up. "We're not, just bit of fun, know I love you." She smiled up.

"Sister the brother, three of us named after Greek deities." Lyssa rolled her eyes and looked back up to Owen. "Can we not do that to ours. Please?"

	Owen nodded his head. "Whatever you want, Lys." He looked up at Ianto. "Funny for you, ya prat. Ok, so... What would you name a kid? What names are nice names to ya? What do you think?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well whatever we pick it's gotta sound okay with Harper, no hypenated last name, just Harper." She closed her eyes to think, not going to fall asleep there at all now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-01-28 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	"What about your mothers name Owen?" Ianto wondered if it was a good idea to have suggested that. "Since Lyssa seems to want to go with Greek deities have to think of something else." Possibly quickly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genius_mind 2008-01-28 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	Owen closed his eyes and leaned back against the sofa, rubbing his face with his hands. "No. Not my mum." Owen sighed, shaking his head a bit. "What about you, Lyssa? What was your mum's name?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nothing_of_note 2008-01-28 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	Lyssa opened her eyes looking up to then glare over at Ianto, trying to resist asking why not. "I said we weren't going with anything Greek or deity...-y." One family 'tradition' that would die quite nicely then and there. She hmm'd. "Poppy? Lily? Molly? Daisy? Maybe no flowers either. Why not your mum?" She reached up to take one of his hands.

	Ianto tried to make himself as unnoticable as possible, then decided it would be easier to go find more beer, for Owen not just to get away from any awkwardness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genius_mind 2008-01-28 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	He looked up at Ianto, then back down at Lyssa. He didn't want Ianto to feel bad or leave. He was just starting to feel close to the prat. "My mum wasn't around much when I was growing up. She did the best she could, but dad ran off when I was real little and she drank a lot..." He sighed. "What about..." He smiled. "We could steal the name from a celebrity?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nothing_of_note 2008-01-28 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	Lyssa sat up and pulled her to him to hold and hug. "You're gonna be a great dad you know that." She whispered. "What no ideas of your own? So which one then? Or is it now too much choice?" She looked over to Ianto who she spotted standing the doorway to the kitchen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-01-28 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	Ianto smiled and headed back setting more beer on the table between them. He wanted to say something but wasn't really sure if he should then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genius_mind 2008-01-29 12:17 am UTC (link)
	Owen frowned. "Why again can't we call it Ianta?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nothing_of_note 2008-01-29 01:52 am UTC (link)
	"Rain." Lyssa said suddenly. "She should be called Rain." She grinned at Owen hopefully. "Ianta can be her middle name. Rain Harper, Rain Ianta Harper, hmm?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
