Who. Kit, Lyssa, Reinette & Owen
What. Lyssa's having the baby
When. Monday night

Kit had turned up after a few phone calls from Lyssa and a long explaination about how Owen wanted her safe and somewhere he knew where she was. She'd arrived on the doorstep with a lot of films and snacks. If they were going to be doing nothing for a while least let it be a comfortable nothing with things to eat and watch.

Ianto had rang a few times, Kit had laughed at that and Lyssa had shushed her in order to be nosy to find out what was going on there. Things there had been pretty much ordinary, discussing about things that Ianto and Owen probably wouldn't ever want to know they were talking about. Nothing really happening until Lyssa walked out of the bathroom and sat on the sofa and told them she was about to have the baby. She took to pacing the room a while. Telling Kit to contact Owen and saying she wasn't going near the hospital or anywhere else without him. She also said a number of apologies to Reinette for causing her any trouble before going back to some more swearing.

Kit attempted to call Owen, who wasn't answering, just going to voicemail. Until eventually she managed to contact him.

"I've spoken to dad, he's on his way." She laughed at Lyssa's swearing again. "Told him you were good with the whole breathing thing, more the swearing... and you have a bag?" There was a general gesture in a vague direction which Kit didn't find any help at all. "Okay, I'll find it, he should be here soon, try and get you to the door so you're waiting for him and can go." Kit went to find the bag and came back.

Sitting down close to Reinette. "I don't think I'm meant to be the responsible one." She whispered.

They dropped her back so she was lying on her back looking up. Lyssa held her arm out for them to put in a drip and give her the epidural she'd not been given before and hadn't wanted. Since Rain's birth wasn't going to be as normal delivery and to Lyssa's thoughts that it was typical and awkward of anyone in the family the c-section was deemed an emergency proceedure. She frowned at Owen confused and beginning to think a little hazy with the drugs that were now slowly taking effect at the sudden rush of people and other things that were going on around her. So much so that she wasn't even trying to keep paying attention to what was happening then, she just kept holding tight onto Owen's hand as they moved her again and finally she was vaguely aware of them carry out what they had to do to get Rain out.

She tugged on Owen's hand once. "Go on." She whispered. "Get her."

Owen nodded and kissed her just as she passed out. Getting up, he scrubbed up, prepped, and aided Shields in the procedure. It went fine, actually. There were no complications, other than a little blood loss. Owen, brilliant mind that he normally is, couldn't help but be nervous, which was why it was a good thing Shields performed the surgery.

When it was done, he held Rain in his arms, staring down at her. She looked just like Lyssa, with a little tuft of dark hair on the top of her head. Never before had Owen been speechless.

Sitting beside Lyssa's bed in her private room, he waited for her to wake up.

	Lyssa slowly opened her eyes, everything still seemed to be fuzzy. Whatever pain medication they'd put her on as well having a good effect as well as keeping her reactions slow. She kept blinking until things were in focus again. "Owen?" She muttered looking about til she saw him. "Hey." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Owen grinned and moved up to stand next to the bed. "Hey baby," he murmured. With gentle movements, he arranged Rain in her arms, moving her hands so that she had a good hold and could support the head. "Here, hold her like this," he murmured softly. "See, beautiful. Just like you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lost for what to say again. He was coping with this a lot better than she was. Lyssa carefully held one of her hands. "Hey Rain." Lyssa blinked again and looked down at Rain, no words just a stupid smile on her face at first that she turned to Owen with. "Means she's gonna be like you." She silently laughed. "Daddy's girl already." Rain made a noise. "She knows." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh she'll be mommy's little girl." He sat on the edge of the bed, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. He kissed the top of her head, smiling, watching them both. "My two girls." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lyssa put her head on Owen, still just happy to watch Rain. "Where'd the third one go?" She leant forwards and lifted Rain slightly so she could kiss her gently. Wondering where Kit had gone. "You should tell your friends about her, go be a proud father while I sleep some more." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Owen nodded his head. "Ok, I'll go do that, but I'll be back soon. The nurse wants to take Rain anyway, give her shots and shit." He moved down to kiss Lyssa proper, something passionate and loving before he left her for a bit. "Oh god," he murmured, staring into her eyes. "I left Kit with the keys..."

	"She doesn't..." Lyssa laughed and looked down to Rain. "Your daddy's just realised he probably doesn't have a car anymore." She looked up to Owen again. "Your car won't be fine, Kit will. Go before I don't want you to with kisses like that." She lifted Rain up for Owen to take her to give to the nurses. "See you both later. I, we expect spoiling." She whispered.
