Title: Mummy Ianto - Sequel to ‘Hatchlings’

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, Tosh, OCs.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 347: Silver at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Ianto starts to adjust to his role as surrogate mum.

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

‘Great! Now I’m mummy, with thirty-seven hungry mouths to feed!’ Ianto thought with a sigh. His scalp tickled from the brood’s little feet. He’d need to persuade them to stay in some sort of nest; he couldn’t carry them around on his head all the time.

A heat-lamp over a box containing one of his t-shirts did the trick. It smelled of him and was cosy to snuggle into, silver scales shimmering in the lamplight.

The babies were already quite independent, able to flutter out and feast on the mealworms Tosh had provided. Maybe being surrogate mum wasn’t so bad.

Ianto's so glad he has a reliable helper!

Thank you!

(I couldn't access LJ at all yesterday, but whatever the problem was, it appears to have been fixed and I'm back in business.)

Wonder what Myfanwy thinks of them? Little flying critters in her domain?

Aww, Ianto is a good mum!

[bk_forever]

He's very caring and careful. He made sure to count thirty-seven little silver snouts when he put the babies in their box ;)

Thank you!

[bk_forever]

You'll find out further along, all the parts are written, there are three more ;)

Thank you!

They sound gorgeous !

I think they are, I see them as little fantasy dragons without the ability to breathe fire. Lizardy snout, four legs, one pair of shimmery wings and a long, prehensile tail.

Thank you!
