Title: Choosing Names

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Jack, Ianto, Gwen, Owen

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 289 – Baby Names at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: An overheard conversation puzzles Gwen.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

Overhearing an odd conversation between Jack and Ianto had Gwen puzzled.

“I like Millie for a girl,” Ianto commented thoughtfully.

“How about Oscar for a boy?” Jack replied.

“Hmmm, okay. Or Oliver, Ollie for short.”

“No, I knew an Ollie once, he was an idiot.”

“How about Jasper then?”

“I like that. Maggie?”

“No way. I dated a Maggie once. She dumped me.”

Frowning, Gwen hurried over to Owen.

“Jack and Ianto are discussing baby names. Is Jack pregnant?”

Owen snorted. “Hardly. They’ve been arguing all morning over what to name their kitten and they haven’t even got one yet.”

The End

Luke and Loverboy approve of this drabble! It shows how silly humans are. :-p

(Yes, Loverboy is the one doing the grooming. He grooms everyone he can pin down, cats or people. His name fits him well!)

Yay! Kitty approval!

Gorgeous kitties =)

Thank you!

(I was shopping today and saw ginger root on sale. I think I got a silly grin on my face and started giggling).

Thank you! They're sweet guys.

(LOL! Is it wrong that makes me strangely happy? :D Ianto sympathies and says he's had to switch produce stores because he's afraid they think he's a nutter. Twice. Jack wants to know how much you bought. :-p)

I didn't get any, I already had my arms full of other stuff and couldn't carry anything else, but I wonder if grated ginger root in hot water would make a sort of ginger tea...

It sure does, and you don't even have to grate the ginger, just cut it in thin slices: Ginger Tea recipe.

And here's Ianto's recipe for ginger and cinnamon tea: Ginger and Cinnamon Tea recipe

Both of these also contain honey, which is another of Jack's favorite foods to re-purpose for pervy purposes. ;)

Oooh, those sound tasty! Next time I'm shopping, I'll get some ginger root and cinnamon sticks.

Thanks! =)

You're welcome! Let me know how it turns out. :)

[bk_forever]

I will, although it'll probably be a few weeks before I go shopping again. I need to recover from the last trip and having to go out again yesterday to pick up some special food to syringe feed my rabbit with ('cause he's not eating post-surgery) nearly did me in. I'm supposed to take him back to the vet for a check-up tomorrow as well. Suffering from a migraine yesterday and today. Not having fun =(
