"Ianto?" John called as he entered, looking for his friend.

"Up here" Ianto called back, looking down with a soft smile, "Hey."

"Jack will skin you alive if he catches you up there!" John scolded as he rushed forward to look up at the man standing on the ladder pinning up the banner for the baby shower.

Ianto laughed as he finished and turned on the step, throwing out his arms and letting himself fall into John's, both men taking a moment to squeeze before relaxing and Ianto turned to look up at it critically, "It is straight right?"

"Ianto, you know it's prefect but not much is straight in this house" John said softly, getting the laugh he expected.

"How is Chrys, has she smelt it out yet?" Ianto asked.

"Nope" John said in a matter of fact way, "She doesn't expect one so doesn't think one is happening behind her back, that's for sure."

Ianto laughed softly, rubbing his face, "We still don't know the sex, would make it so much more fun but really I understand the not wanting to know this time. I mean, you have one of each."

John nodded, "Just healthy, wonderfully healthy. Shit, almost forgot, the scan is on Friday and she wanted me to ask if you would come with us. Apparently you were there with Babs and you were with Monkey for the big one. She is nervous."

"Well that test is scary" Ianto agreed, "Rhiannon was so calm and sure, not that it matters. If it does come back you know it won't matter right? I mean, would having a Ton be so bad?"

"No" John said happily, "Not bad at all. You will be there?"

"Of course" Ianto laughed softly, "You think I would miss the chance of gushing at a blob on the black and white screen? Really? John, you wound me."

John laughed and helped Ianto with the rest of the decorations, the baby shower happening that afternoon.

Chrystal was going to have a cow.

Well, a baby but you know what I mean.
