Notes: This is for the tw100 drabble challenge on livejournal - the title was 'In these walls.' It's funny what comes to you when you see some words. I was straight back to performing in Sleeping Beauty when young. I played the King! Anyway that first line led me here. I'm really enjoying these drabbles.
Fairy Story
'Walls have ears, follow me, Merryweather said.'
'Well, let's hope these don't,' Ianto observed. 'What are you doing, Jack?'
'I'm trying to get the baby to sleep; she's been kicking me to death,' he replied. 'I'm reading Sleeping Beauty.'
'She's going to be the most spoilt baby in the world. Can you hear that, cariad?' Ianto put his head on his lover's swollen stomach and felt the baby kick inside those fleshy walls.
'I think you'd better continue reading,' he advised.
Within minutes Ianto was asleep. Jack continued to read thankful that he had two sleeping beauties in his life.
