Who: Lyssa, Owen, Kit, Ianto, Gwen and whoever else might turn up.
What: Trying to cope with people being younger suddenly.
Where: Owen and Lyssa's place
When: Nowish

Lyssa had found Ianto, or rather the little kid in the suit that answered to Yan and babbled at her half the time in Welsh the rest English. Which Lyssa only could get a few words from. There was also a mini version of Kit running about with a toy plane that she refused to part with at that point balanced on the back of the sofa while the small slightly scared Ianto was clinging to Lyssa's hand and still staring at her. Though at that point the fact Kit was looking dangerously close to trying to jump to a chair was the least of her worries.

Those were reserved for Owen right then, she'd seen him briefly as he'd gone from one room to another. She'd gone from banging on the door to saying a few words now and then. "Please Owen, get out the bathroom. If you hadn't noticed, the very pregnant woman outside the door isn't happy that you're in there, the bedroom was better, least I can still lay out on the sofa. And I know you're still you and I care..." Ianto tugged at Lyssa's hand. "What Yan?" Lyssa turned and didn't even try to go to his level then. Ianto pointed at Kit. Lyssa hurried as she could to grab Kit before she fell.

"Is my mummy coming?" Kit wriggled.

"I don't know hunny." Lyssa put her down quickly. This wasn't helping her stress and not really wanting to have to give birth early when Owen was in no place to be of any real use.

"Owen your daughter keeps jumping off the furniture. Be nice if you could do something." She shouted at the locked door before getting Ianto to sit next to Kit on the sofa a moment. "Stay here a moment and I'll be back and we can play a game or something? Hmm?" They both nodded, she wondered what she'd come back to but still she went to the bedroom, least Owen wasn't in there and she could get what she wanted. A box from under the bed, a box she swore contained other things than it did. She carried it back and set it on the coffee table. "Lego. Go crazy." She shooed them off the sofa to play so she could attempt to relax and wait for Gwen turning up. Which couldn't be soon enough.

Gwen had gone to the chippy before turning up at Owens, and was bringing enough food to feed a small army. Or at least a teenager, herself and Lyssa. She also hadn't forgotten the chocolate milkshake.

She was thankful that, as of yet, she hadn't ended up naked, singing or turned back into a teenager. She was just hoping that she could help Lyssa and Owen.

She knocked on the door, and waited. "Lyssa? It's Gwen."

	Owen looked up. He had heard Gwen. He grinned. That meant food was here. Ah, but he still didn't want to leave the bathroom. "Can she just slide me a fry from under the door," he yelled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Stay here, be good." Lyssa told the two she was keeping an eye on, giving a glance in the direction of where Owen was holed up she stood up and headed to the door.

"No. You have to come out to eat it. Or I'll feed it to those two." She shook her head and opened the door.

"I am so glad to see you." She told Gwen straight away. "Come in, join the madness, watch out for the other two." She spoke quieter. "I found Ianto, he's little and I can honestly only get a few words out of anything he says, in either language. There's also Kit, she jumps." She thought that was fair warning. "Oh and he's still sulking, he's now in the bathroom, which isn't appreciated. At all."

"Alright," Gwen smiled at her. "Here's your chocolate milk." She handed her one of the carrier bags. "If you can deal with those two for a minute I'll try and get Owen out of the bathroom."

She patted Lyssa on the shoulder before going over to the bathroom door, she knocked once before speaking, "Owen, Lyssa needs the bathroom and if you don't come out then I wont be giving you any of the food." She wasn't joking either, she'd share it with little Kit and little Ianto if he didn't get out of there. "You've got two minutes to finish wanking before I knock the door down."

Threats sometimes worked too.

"I'm not waking! Who do you think I am, Rhys?"

He snorted and reluctantly opened the door, looking up at Gwen. He wasn't bothering to wear trousers, because his were too big. He had a pair of sweatpants too large for him, yet tied very tightly around his waist. One of his rocker shirts was hanging down to almost his knees. He was 17 years old in appearance.

He glared up at Gwen. "There, happy? Take as many jokes as you want. Look at me!!!" He went over to the sofa, slumping on it.

	"Thank you!" She went to put things in the kitchen with a little Ianto following her, talking to himself and fed up of the slightly hyperactive Kit. She ran back through past Owen thankfully on the sofa and into the bathroom. She missed the fact that Kit was about to jump on her daddy while little Ianto stood awkwardly wondering what was going on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Gwen had to try very, very hard not to laugh at Owen. However, she couldn't stop the smirk forming on her face. "Oh, Owen..." She said, and handed him the food. "Here. Eat something."

She went over to Ianto and smiled at him, he really was adorable when he was this small. She'd have to take pictures for Cooper. "Hey there, Ianto. Do you know who I am? Are you okay?"

	Ianto looked up at Gwen, unsure a moment and looking like he had to think, then nodded. "Gwen." He smiled proud of himself. He pointed at Owen and told Gwen in mostly Welsh if it was less than understandable that 'Owen was in trouble'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genius_mind 2008-01-15 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	Owen didn't know much Welsh, so he just looked up at Lyssa. "Lys, I... OOF!" Kit jumped on him and it took all his effort not to swear in front of her. He wrapped his arms around her for a hug and pulled her up on the sofa with him. "Oh god, what has happened to my flat..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gwen could understand Welsh, and if that was what little!Ianto (as she was calling him in her head) wanted to talk in, then she could use it to talk back. "Well, Owen is often in trouble." She said, smiling. "Do you want some food? I can share my chips." She looked over at Owen, and switched to English, "Children and insanity, I think." She smiled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lyssa sat down on the sofa, she couldn't help but smile as she watched Owen with Kit then and Gwen with Ianto. "Which would be what happens when you leave me alone like this with Kit and Ianto." She put a hand on her stomach. "Which is why you're better waiting til your father is back to himself before you arrive." She told the baby with a smirk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-01-15 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	Ianto looked round Gwen to Owen and Kit on the sofa then back to Gwen and nodded moving closer to hug her, if Kit got treated like that, he wanted to be and Gwen he somehow guessed would hug him and keep him safe from those two who were trouble. "Please." That time he spoke in English. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genius_mind 2008-01-15 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	Owen looked over at Ianto. "Bloody hell, teaboy, do you even know what denim is? Did you have suit diapers as a kid too?" He gently rubbed up and down Kit's back, chuckling. He looked over at Lyssa. "Please don't have the kid now. I... I'm not really equipped. Don't think the hospital would believe that I'm your doctor." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sympathyandtea 2008-01-15 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	Gwen hugged Ianto tightly and smiled at him, "Okay, come on then." She said in English, taking him over to the food, and she offered little!Ianto some chips. "Oi, short arse, watch it, alright?" She said to Owen, feeling oddly protective of Ianto. "You're really not in a position to talk about clothes, are you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-01-15 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	Ianto was happy and he was being looked after, he looked a bit upset about the arguing for a moment but he'd moved on from Lyssa who didn't quite understand him to Gwen and she did which was better. This just meant he'd follow her round like a little lost duckling. He sat down close to her and ate quietly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kit rested her head against her daddy's shoulder and closed her eyes still clutching the toy plane like others had a teddy. Running about and jumping had finally worn her out. Which maybe was for the best. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I didn't say I wanted to." She moved to try and get more comfortable. She watched Ianto sat quietly next to Gwen. "Really seems to like you Gwen, just looked scared with me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"And he bloody hates me. Big suprise there." He glared up at Gwen. "It's not normal if I don't harrass the shit out of him. Why doesn't he say something back? Why do I have to be the bleedin' adult here. I'm changed too!"

He held Kit close, gently stroking her. Who ever would have thought he'd be a good father? He looked over at Lyssa and wrapped one arm around her shoulders, effectively sandwitched between the two women now. "Where is Jack when we need him?"

Gwen kept an arm around Ianto's shoulders as she talked to the 'adults'.

"It's the Welsh," Gwen said. At least, that was the only explanation she could think of. "At least I think it is."

"Because, Owen, there is a big difference between a child and a teenager," Gwen pointed out. "So you can at least try to be nice to him, for now." She sighed. "I think Jack was getting naked." Really, what else was new?

"Why am I not suprised. Does Jack ever wear clothes anymore? Some leader he is supposed to be. Swans off whenever he feels like." He sighed and gently held Kit. He looked over at Lyssa, then back to Gwen and Ianto.

"I'm not ready to be an adult yet, Gwen. Me, a father? I can't hack this..." He almost said this shit, but stopped himself. That should be progress.

"Ask him, in Welsh, if he needs anything." Owen sighed. "And tell him I'm sorry..."

Lyssa smiled at Owen then leaned to kiss him, but ended up just kissing him on the nose before she stood up.

"Don't think I am either." She said mostly to her self as she headed for the bathroom. Her turn to go hide for a while. She was scared, terrified and the fact Ianto had just looked scared most of the time and she couldn't control Kit hadn't helped with her realising too that even though she wanted this was she ever going to be a good mother. Seeing Owen through all his doubts be like that with Kit made her worry more.

"This is a strange world, Owen, I'm sure he's just getting used to it." Gwen said, she couldn't help but feel like she needed to stand up for Jack. Even though she did think that Owen had a point.

"Owen, you're going to be a great dad." She smiled. "And Lyssa will be a great mum. You're both going to be fine. Plus, you know you can always call on me to babysit and help out."

Gwen smiled at little!Ianto, "Do you need anything?" She asked in Welsh. "Oh, and Owen says he's sorry. He might even mean it this time!"

	Ianto shook his head. "No, thank you." He blinked at Gwen when she said Owen was sorry, then looked round to Owen then back to Gwen again. He got up and headed over to Owen, climbed up next to him and gave him a hug. "Sorry too." He said in Welsh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genius_mind 2008-01-16 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	Owen blinked. "You're welcome te... You're welcome Ianto. Sorry I said what I did. It wasn't right." He used his other arm to hug Ianto, pulling him up on him as well. He now had one kid on each leg, both arms wrapped around their waists, and he was smiling, God help them all. "Gwen..." He sighed. "Thanks." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lyssa stopped before she sat back down again, smiling at Owen being so good with the two mini adults. As she was about to sit that was when it hurt. "Um. Ow." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genius_mind 2008-01-17 01:13 pm UTC (link)
	Owen looked over at Lyssa, raising an eyebrow. Ow? That was never a good sign. He looked down at Ianto and Kit, then back up at her, trying to figure out how he was actually going to do this. One arm wrapped away from Ianto and he reached over to pet her stomach. "Lyssa?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Lyssa put a hand over his to hold. "Give me a moment." She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. "I've been feeling them a while. Don't panic now." She opened one eye to look at him. "I'll say it what you were telling me about Braxton-Hicks or whatever as nothing else has happened. See sometimes I do listen to you, you know, going on..." She waved her other hand about briefly.

"Did he always go on about everything like it was a lecture back when you worked with him?" She opened her eyes properly to ask Gwen, trying to take her mind off another annoying moment of pain.

	Owen pouted. "I'm not that bad," he mumbled, looking towards the kids instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lyssa sqeezed his hand. "Yes you are." She smirked. "Oh great, one big conspiracy against me, can you feel the baby moving? I think it means they agree with me already. Least know the sound of your voice." Ianto turned round and reached out a hand to put next to Owen's, he wanted to find out too. (Reply to this) (Parent)
