"What will you call him?"
Ianto looked up from the book he was reading, laying on the sofa with his feet in Jack's lap as Jack watched the birds eating from the feeder on the deck outside the window.
Peace shattered.
"Ug?" Jack grunted, tearing his gaze for the idyllic scene on the balcony.
"My brother, he well have a name right?" she asked, "Something other than Ug?"
"I always liked the name Kai actually" Ianto said after considering, "a strong name. One of King Arthur's men was called that ya know. Said to be magical."
"Well if it's magical!" Jack grinned and Kara blinked.
How do ypu spell it?" she asked.
"Well you say 'Key' sometimes, it's K A I. Some say 'Kye' like 'why' but it's origionally key" Ianto explained the Welsh vowels.
"Kai. Key. Kai" she said softly and Ianto hummed with raised eyebrows.
"Sweet pea?"
"Remember the guy who attacked me in my quarters? Was asking for a Key, kept saying where is the Key. Devon. First the attack at the intersection and then in my quarters. Key. They were trying to say Kai weren't they. They were looking for him then too." She watched her fathers, their matching looks of horror.
"Kai means key yes, or keeper of the keys. If the person was more of a traveller or visitor they might have called him 'the key' as Kai would have been translated for them through some device plus it is pronounced that way" Jack agreed as he googled on his VM, "South African it means beautiful. In Hawaiian is means the ocean. Wow, I like it."
"Obviously it's what you choose" she giggled, "Oh wow, this timey wimey shit is a trip."
"Language Sweet Pea" Ianto warned, "Gonna have to remember little ears."
"Awww, Sydney hear what …oh. Kai." She roared with mirth and Ianto shook his head as he turned to Jack.
"I like it" Jack agreed, "In Boeshanninan it means strong."
"It does? Well then" Ianto smiled softly as he let a hand rest on the little bump, "Seems like we have it all sorted then."
"So, why do they want him then?" she frowned.
"Because he is going to have the gift I think" Ianto said softly, "you don't but I am immortal, Daddy is Immortal so it stands to reason Kai will be too, right?"
"Bloody hell, Rex will have a cow!" she laughed, her head falling back to let her dark locks bounce and Willem looked at her with raw affection. Ianto liked the way he looked at her, not just affection but pride as well.
"So, the market day" Ianto decided to change the subject, already annoyed that it was all about him again.
"I'm going down to play with Daisy later" Jack said happily, "We are setting up the White Elephant Stall. I can't wait to do some bending over so she smacks my arse."
"You are such a tease" Ianto huffed with amusement.
"She does hit hard though" Jack grinned, "I might have to yelp now and then, just warning you if I come home with a red cheek."
"On your arse or your face?" Ianto asked, "She might smack that as well, ya cheeky Twypsn."
Jack grinned as he waggled his eyebrows.
"I have another box of clothes I sorted too" Kara nodded, "Gonna add them to the…Taddy? They have an area of maternity wear. Some of the shirts and stuff are quite unisex."
Ianto considered, "Well … I don't know. Sort of advertising isn't it?"
"So what are you going to do, go into seclusion and then say a stork got through the barrier?" she asked, "Or are you going to say it's mine? The horror. The shame!"
"Cut it out" he scolded as she wailed and flopped about.,
"My unwed father, about to pop one out … such a hussy. At least both children are to the same father I guess."
"Kara!" Ianto frowned as Jack started to laugh.
Gino canted his head "So … different bloods would be worse?"
"No, she's being a bloody bitch!" Ianto growled, "She is excited about her baby, just wants to make me wriggle for a while."
"I am excited too" Gino said as he shrugged, "My mate has not blessed me, I fear it may never happen."
"Never say never my friend" Ianto smiled, "She has the taint of want about her. I think the moon is about to become full, this is the best time according to her scent."
"You can smell her?"
"I can smell everything at the moment, horribly so. Was the same with Kara" Ianto sighed, "Why the dog really has to start getting better with the toileting."
"I shall be more vigilant" Willem promised, "Also we are going to do the extensions starting next week. Will you be OK here or when we have the side of the house open will you want to sleep on town?"
"I hadn't thought of that, there will be at least one night without a sealed house" Ianto said as he looked at Jack.
"I will ask Martha" Jack promised, "The B&B might be best, her Nibs here probably wants to slum it here with Willem."
"Too right!" she laughed as Willem grinned as well.
The kids were being left home alone?
