Word Count: 100
Summary: Jack and Ianto discuss the idea of throwing a baby shower
Author's Note: Written for fandom_me  who wanted a story where Jack was celebrating something, I hope planning the celebration instead is okay...

 

“A baby shower, Ianto, that’s what we need to do!  We need to throw her a baby shower!”

“A baby shower, Sir?”

“Sure!  Why not?  She’d love it.  Everyone loves a baby shower!”

“But... a baby shower?”

“Come on, it’ll be fun.  It’ll give us a chance to spruce up the place...”

“Spruce up, Sir?”

“We’ll scrub this place till it shines!  Maybe hang some decorations...”

“Decorations, Sir?”

“Of course decorations!  Baby showers need decorations!  It’s tradition!!”

“I wasn’t aware that there were traditions regarding pterodactyls, Sir”

“Very funny.  You can be such a spoilsport, Ianto.”

“Just being practical, Sir.”

Oh, that's a lot of fun! You two are having a great time, aren't you? :-)

The only thing I'm worried about is how Myfanwy got pregnant???? *g*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

errr... good point... maybe she found a "friend?"

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

ALIEN DONUTS!!!

This is adorable.

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

That's brilliant. Very cute!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

Although this is a sweetie fic, I have to say that in UK English a 'baby shower' would be some form of tot-wash (and a bridal shower is what inevitably happens when the photographer gets the camera out).

Hope this isn't what your anonymous git was ranting about. I just find the phrase amusing.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Actually that wasn't what they had complained about. Do expecting moms have parties thrown for them in the U.K.? If so, what is it called?

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

I'm a Brit from Liverpool and I've been to loads of baby showers (that were called baby showers too) so I think it just depends on the people involved what that sort of party is called. As Jack's American he would think like that, even if the rest of the team had to look up what the heck a baby shower was on wiki or google... though I din't think Myfanwy would really care one way or the other.

Brilliant! Though, who's the father? :P Thanks for sharing!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Presumedly there's another pterodactyl out there somewhere... It's be nice for her to have a friend, no?

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*snort* Excellent!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*bounces* Glad you like!

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

I love this and I'm glad that Myfanwy's finally found someone (apart form Ianto). Do we get a sequel with baby pteradactyls or not? It would be nice if we did...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

hmmm, hadn't really considered a sequel, although baby pteradactyls do have their appeal...

[ravynbryce.livejournal.com]

That was fun! Perfect start to the morning :)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Aww thanks! :D

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Aw, cute. :) I thought maybe there was going to be a twist and wondered if it would be Myfanwy who's on the nest.

If they had a baby pterodactyl maybe they could train it to do useful stuff!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Yeah, most of my stuff have some sort of funny twist at the end... I think baby pterodactyls would be cute, but training them might be difficult!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Aw, baby pterodactyls! That's adorable. And too, too funny. I can imagine the decorations!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Jack would have such fun decorating the place, wouldn't he?

[thefannishwaldo.livejournal.com]

*So* didn't see that coming. I was sure it was Gwen or something.

Sporfle! Very nicely done!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Horray! Glad you liked it and thanks for commenting!

ruh-roh... killing readers is not a good thing...

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

awww....good for her, gettin' some. lol

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Even pterdactyls need someone to love, right? :)

[lurker1860.livejournal.com]

ROFL *snort*

Wonderful!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

lol, thanks! Glad you liked it!

[coffeegirl18.livejournal.com]

Awww baby pterodactyls...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

wouldn't baby pterodactyls be cute?

[phoenix64.livejournal.com]

Hee hee. Baby pterodactyls! I have to confess my brain was going to "alien pregnancy" - Angel and Cordelia's two mystical pregnancies have messed me up - but I like this muuuuch better.

Sorry about your anonymous asshole.

I realize I'm probably the billionth person to tell you this, but "Squirrel Liberation Army" on House!

hmmm.. Squirrel Liberation Army on House? Tell me more!
