Author: badly_knitted

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 267 – Starting Over at tw100

Spoilers: None.

Summary: Ianto contemplates the sudden changes in his life.

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

A/N: I’ve finally managed something fluffy!

 

 

 

A new year and a new life; Ianto couldn’t get his head around how much had changed in the last few days.

 

First had come the New Year and with it, an unexpected question.

 

“Happy New Year, Ianto! Will you marry me?”

 

Then, just a few days later, had come an even more unexpected pronouncement.

 

“Ianto, I don’t know how to tell you this, but… I’m pregnant.”

 

Ianto glared at the tangle of yarn in his hands; he’d master this if it killed him. Unravelling the mess, he started casting on again.

 

How hard could it be to knit bootees?

Men don't understand multi-tasking ;)

The only sewing I'm any good at is cross stitch, I was useless in my sewing classes at school. Mum used to make clothes for me and my sister, I guess the skill didn't get passed down, lol!

My mum was the youngest of 6 and didn't have me until she was in her early thirties, so I missed out on knowing her parents and granparents. I've seen pictures of her gran though, a very austere looking woman who apparently never left her room.

Me, my mum and my grandma are all the oldest children, so it's a bit different for us. It makes me sad that there are cousins being born who will never meet our awesome great-gran.

I've never tried my hand at making clothes. My mum used to do it when I was little (and she had time, somehow), but the sewing machine died so I never learned myself. I can hem things, and do buttons, but that's about it. Cross-stitch is something I'm quite good at, but it takes a lot of time and patience that at the moment I don't have. I'm not even sure where I've found the time to write, tbh.

That's the problem: All the things I like doing take a lot of time and are incompatible with multi-tasking.

I'm trying to find to write but even that's proving near impossible with life as it is since mum's stroke.

My cousin's two children were born after his mother died, so they never even got a chance to meet their grandmother. She so wanted grandchildren, but I guess fate had other ideas.
