Ianto was zapping his lovely lavender beanie in the microwave, the cup of water beside it so it didn't dry out and he removed it to place against his face with a soft smile. The smell of Rhiannon soothed as much as the warm wheat and he was ever so pleased with the offering of love from a sweet girl who had no idea how much she had touched him. Probably as much as he didn't know how much he touched her to be honest.
"Hey Tadda" Babs said happily "Take the grandchild would you?"
Ianto turned to take his oldest grandchild and sat with him in his arms. He examined him as Babs got some mincemeat out of the fridge then commented "He's got bigger, is that new play area any good?"
"Oh yes, he loves it" she turned to smile at him sweetly "Sheila is not so enthused. You know her, just wants to sunbathe."
"Never mind Bert my old china" Ianto crooned to the lizard now the length of his arm and just as thick as his bicep "Sometimes a man needs time alone to think."
"Exactly" Babs turned and gathered her lizard-child lovingly into her arms then picked up the bowl of mince "Come on baby. Mama has the num nums for you two. Ah …. Well …."
Ianto looked up with a frown "Well?"
"That latest batch of eggs? Ahhhhh….. they seem heavier" she said with glee "I may have finally cracked it, if ya pardon the gun…damn … pun. I might be a grandmother!"
"Oh wow after all these years Sheila and Bert might have finally got their act together long enough to be fertile?" Ianto asked with glee, sharing his daughter's enthusiasm as each time she declared eggs too old to be any good seems a blow to her personally. Ianto knew the bloody lizards didn't care and would likely eat the young. Luckily she was no old enough to know this too.
"I will get Animal and Skiddy to sort out the old aquarium later in the corner. We can't have a mass murder on our hands" she said happily, leaning over to kiss his cheek and she sniffed "Lavender?"
"Mmmmm" Ianto didn't dare open his mouth as a tongue rasped over his chin and she gushed as her 'baby' gave his 'Grandy' a kiss too.
Is it just me or is that thing getting bigger?" Curtis turned to watch them leave and Ianto sniggered.
He had no idea.
Really.
