A/N: I managed a third drabble for this week's prompt! By popular demand, here is the prequel to my drabbles 'Night Feeds' and 'Feeding Time', proving it's all Owen's fault. Sort of.
Thank you for your reviews - apologies for any late replies, my email has rather unhelpfully decided to stop notifying me of new reviews. Isn't technology wonderful.
It all happened in a flash – literally.
Tosh was examining a piece of alien tech they'd retrieved. Owen dodged to avoid stepping on Nosy and tripped over his chair, knocking the tech to the floor.
A blinding flash of white light shot upwards, there was a startled squawk and suddenly Myfanwy was on the ground, glowing brightly and visibly shrinking.
Ianto thought later that if she had simply shrunk it wouldn't have been too bad, but when the glow faded instead of an adult pteranodon there sat a small, newly hatched, hungry chick, convinced he and Jack were its parents.
Continued in 'Night Feeds' (Chapter 75) and 'Feeding Time' (Chapter 49).
