Who. Lyssa and AU!Owen
What. He suggested they meet
When. After this.
Where. Cardiff Bay

Lyssa wasn't really sure what to make of Owen not knowing her. The others, those he'd called friends calling him names and being nasty to him had made her defensive. She couldn't help but get a little defensive over the people she cared about. She ran a hand over her stomach, wondering what this Owen would make of how she looked and that she was having their son. She had to keep reminding herself that it still was the Owen she knew and loved, the love part wasn't a problem. From just talking to him she thought he was adorable. A bit of a dork but undoubtedly adorable. So it didn't worry her about agreeing to meet him.

Leaving Rain at home she headed out to meet Owen where he said he would be. She didn't rush because she couldn't really but she didn't want to keep him waiting. She looked a little anxious when she finally arrived, tugging on the sleeve of the shirt she was wearing. One of Owen's, something he'd worn because then she needed something comforting to remind her of her Owen. It was going to be a long... well however long this place decided it wanted to keep people like that.

"We met a year ago, I think it was a year now, in London, we'd both just turned up in this universe and no-one who knew you was here. We were meant to go for coffee, we never quite made it, yeah there was coffee. The next morning. Black because I had no milk. You said you'd be my hero and look after me. We never even made it to bed." She smiled as she talked to her tea and not him though she turned her hand over so she was then holding his.

"Not long after you moved in with me." Lyssa remembered telling him things before she'd asked him. There wasn't a big fuss about it, it had just happened. "Actually I think I just told you to keep the key and that was it. You asked me to marry you in New York, you'd gone missing and I'd gone out to find you. I'd told you I was pregnant minutes before, you already had a ring and said you'd forgotten. People were watching as you got down on one knee. Middle of street in New York city, not something you forget..." Se glanced up at him and her smile turned a little sad.

"Well..." She paused a moment, stopping to take a drink of her tea and think of what else she'd missed out. So much in a year to tell him. "Kit turned up, Catherine Harper-Holmes, she'll hurt anyone if you call her that." Lyssa laughed a little. "She's great and Rain loves spending time with her, which has always worked out quite well for us." Lyssa looked up long enough to give Owen a grin that left litle doubt about what she was implying.

"I had Rain, that's our little girls name. I say little, thanks to this universe she's ten. So, I had her in February, you were there, I was unconscious, emergency c-section, but you were with us both and waiting for me to wake up. I told you about this one." She paused a beat to let go of her cup and put her hand on her stomach, which now she was sat made it a little more obvious. "On fathers day, thought it was a good time to tell you. We got married in Vegas not long ago, fairytale you were my prince, I was your princess. Meant to have a big wedding, said after this one is born, but things happened and... yeah..." She trailed off.

Owen blinked. He was quiet as he listened to her tell her tale. The tale of them, really. It was almost like a fantasy or some storybook romance, although a bit modernized. He did fidget a bit as he listened, not wishing to interrupt her. He’d sip his drink or clean off his glasses. Finally he just rested them on the table. He really only needed them for reading and such, but sometimes it was just easier to keep them on. Sort of like a personal shield. Like Superman and his Clark Kent persona, he thought to himself with a small smile.

As he listened, he realized there really was a lot to them and how long they had been together. And children. Well, he honestly had wanted children, but it wasn’t like there was a long line of female suitors knocking on the door either. He almost felt like he should be taking notes, all of the information he was being thrown at him.

“Well, I am quite certain you were a beautiful princess.” He smiled at her, finishing his coffee and placing the empty cup on the table. “Life does crop up, doesn’t it. I…” He blushed a bit. “I am almost sad I don’t remember any of this. That I missed it.”

Lyssa's turn to blush then and hide behind her cup as she deliberately drank to avoid him seeing.

"Almost?" She raised an eyebrow at him. "There's a hell of a lot more. I've seen you as a teenager, actually you've seen me as one. Spent the day in the park, the photographs of that day are somewhere in the flat, along with photos of what happened when we turned back to ourselves." She smirked. "That was a a good night. I'm amazed we didn't end up with kids sooner. Spent enough time in bed. Wasn't like we were... I think when I was pregnant with Rain you actually got fed up of sex. You..." She laughed then realised it wasn't her Owen. "Well you know what I mean."

She put her cup down. "Where are you staying anyway?" She changed the topic of conversation like she was going from just talking about the weather to that.

"More?"

Owen found it hard not to laugh. It seemed that they had a more than their fair share of history between themselves. And he blushed, hearing some of the things that she said. Teens? And, well, adults as well. He blushed even redder when he realized she kept speaking about sex.

"Yes. I, uh..." He stammered. "I do know what you mean, well, in a fashion, I mean..."

He looked at his cup, briefly, then gazed up her gratefully when she changed the subject. "I moved into a hotel. I wasn't sure I should go to the address on my id. Nervous, I assume."

"Oh goddess, I'm sorry I forget myself sometimes, I'm like Jack, how you probably know him, not the arse he seems to be at the moment. Talk about anything openly. Which I forget this time hasn't quite got to." She bit her lip and looked sorry at him, not meaning to deliberately make him feel embarrassed.

"We have a spare room." She looked at him hopeful but she wouldn't force him to stay with her if he didn't want. She just felt better knowing he was around. "Okay it's a single bed in what's going to be the nursery but still it's there... if you wanted." She then added quietly. "I'd like it."

"Oh no, please Ms... Uh, Lyssa. Do not... I have no problems with hearing that kind of conversation. Between Adam, Tosh, and Jack, the chat can get quite colourful, on occasion. It's usually quite charming and a bit laughable." He smiled, leaning a bit on the table, feeling rather relaxed. He was glad that he came here and met her.

"I..." He listened to her, reaching out to gently take her hand. "I'd like that as well. I'll stay. If you want me to?"

"I would, wouldn't think of you being anywhere else, you're Owen Harper and I said I'd be there for you. So this universe likes to stretch the what happened, but I wouldn't take it back ever." She held his hand tight.

"Besides, it's always a comfort knowing that there's a doctor in the house somewhere." She smiled and started laughing. "And you can help paint? I'm kidding. You can meet Rain, if she's there and doesn't want to stay with Kit."
