Ianto wasn't sure what to make of this.
Eugene was excitedly showing Jack and John the contract as Ianto tried to understand it.
"So … they want babs to wear their stuff?" John asked.
"Clothes, jewelry, do some photo shoots and TV adverts" Eugene gushed, "Not as big as Walter's Toothpaste deal but a great offer. This would put her through college, even if the TV series isn't picked up next season!"
"Taddy, this company doesn't know they are offering this to a Trans child" Ianto pointed out.
"So?"
"So ... we don't want a lawsuit!" Ianto was getting annoyed.
"So we tell them" Babs said behind them and Ianto swung with shock and annoyance as he realized the child had not only been listening but had been told already.
"You told her?" he demanded of his father, "You told her before consulting us?"
"I'm her agent!" Eugene shot back, "I informed her, of course I did. This is my Babbity bum too!"
Ianto sighed and threw his hands in the air. "Then what do you suggest?"
"A meeting. A nondisclosure is signed and then we … we tell them" John said as he watched Babs plead silently.
So now he sat in this office, looking at these people as Babs put on the cute show.
Then he saw it. Slight, almost hidden but with his keen sense of 'gaydar' he found it. The woman sitting opposite adjusted her bracelets as she looked down at her hands , clasping them together.
"That is a very nice shade of eye shadow" Ianto said softly, What is it called?"
She looked up and smiled, then looked over at Babs who was leaning forward expectantly.
"I want some like that please Taddy" she said, "Can we get some?"
"We'll see darling" Ianto smiled.
"So, we signed these, what is so secret that it can't leave this room" the man beside the woman asked, placing the pen down.
"Babs?" Ianto said, leaning back as Babs shuffled forward in the chair.
"I was born Noah. It was a mistake because I'm actually Babs and luckily Taddy and Daddy don't mind that I got the wrong body" Babs said as Ianto watched the woman's head shoot up to stare at his child.
"I am what you call Transgender" Babbit told them, "I'm a girl in a boy's body. I have a girlfriend and that's OK too. Did you know I can still have a wife and babies and stuff coz I'm not sick or anything. Just born different."
"Babs identifies as a girl in boy's body who likes other girls" Eugene said as he watched Ianto and he wondered why he was staring at the woman like that.
"How old are you darling?" she asked and Babbit responded.
"I'm six in August" she smiled, "but I am clever. I have a genius IQ."
"Yes, I can see that you are smart" she replied, "So is your Taddy."
"My Taddy was a child prodyney"
"Progeny" Ianto corrected automatically.
"You already know my answer here" the woman smiled, "You already see it."
"It's so mild, only someone with a keen eye can see it, and I am immersed in the way of life" Ianto smiled, "You are very pretty."
"Thank you. I've been Trans for almost ten years now" she smiled, "I had no idea about Babs."
"Her godfather is a doctor, her wellbeing is well taken care of and we are doing everything we can to make her comfortable." Ianto said softly, reaching for Babbit's hand, "She is going to be whoever she was born to be and she will be spectacular. If you chose to have her in your campaign know that one day the public will know this about her. We will not hide, once she is comfortable enough to say it out loud to people we will be proud and loud."
"Well done" she smiled, "Call me Ally."
Ianto relaxed as Babs smiled sweetly while Ally signed the papers for the contract.
Babs was now a poster child for Glamorous Girls Fashion and Cosmetics.
