Angel walked around the room taking it all in as Owen stood nearby with the maternity staff and Ianto "OK love?"
"And where will Taddy sit?"
"Here… a seat by the pool and here by the bed" Owen pointed to each place as her eyes rolled that way.
"No … I don't get in the water" Ton said calmly s he followed her around "gross. Taddy will be in the water with her... I will sit."
"Oh... is that right, is it?" Ianto laughed as he looked at the birthing pool "I will need my swimming trunks then."
"Oh Taddy… you will do it?" Angel asked with glee "You will be his first person to see?"
Ianto nodded, to happy to argue as the ultrasound had just confirmed a boy and Ton was still on such a natural high as he had REALLY hoped for a boy and the air punching really showed everyone that.
"Right… so do you like this room? The other three are exactly the same so on the day, this will be what you will be seeing" Owen explained as he moved to hug her happily "I am going to be here too. I have to fuss and squeal and flap."
"I want the lights low and I want the music I choose and I want the drugs" Angel said calmly as she stared the maternity staff down "I will want ALL the drugs. Just because I am DS and have a higher pain threshold, I still want it to be good and real."
"Angel… the list of things that can be given do not have to be given but I am sure anything and everything everyone else gets in this room will be available to you too" Owen assured her "you are not a DS patient in here sweetie… you are a mama."
Angel nodded with satisfaction. "My baby will be special and important, right?"
"In the moment, in this room… there will be no other baby in the whole world as important as our little boy" Ianto assured her.
"OK" she shrugged and stopped turning in a circle "Maccas? Please? Bubba needs Maccas."
"Oh, does he now!" Ianto laughed, "Well… I guess we all could use some celebratory Maccas to toast the little boy!"
"YAY!" everyone crowed, most of all Jack who had been laying in the empty birthing pool to check its length.
Not worth saying anything really, just thank god John was not there too or they would both be in there doing fake breast stroke or something.
