[Filtered to Jack and Lorne]

Just so you're aware of the state of things, I'm not going to be a godfather after all.

[Filtered to Lorne]

Martha may be coming to stay with me for a bit.

[Private Entry]

Times like these I realize how much I miss Lorne's . . . physicality. Not his body as such, though Lord knows I do, but just being able to experience him.

Though I suppose I'm lucky that if I want someone to talk to and help me feel better, I'm hardly starved for choice.

Is she okay? Are you okay?

What can I do?

I think she will be, once she's had some time to recover. I'm all right. I'm worried for her and Sheppard, mostly.

Just . . . you know. Be around. I miss you.

Christ. Yeah, Sheppard asked me to be on duty tonight, and he's got a mission tomorrow, so I'm sure he's just...keeping it together. There's never any time to breathe here.

I miss you too, darling. And I'll be around.

I can't imagine how he's dealing with it. I think it's fair to say Martha's wrecked.

*lays my head on your shoulder* Tell me something good?

*slides my arms around your waist*

Something good, eh?

...I love you. I love you and we'll be together soon.

I love you too. I love you. I want to be with you so much.

God, baby. Soon. Any news from the Brigadier yet?

No, not yet. I'm calling him tomorrow if I don't hear from him in the morning. I want to be firm but not, you know, pushy.

Okay. That makes sense.

I'm just...antsy, you know?

I am asking him for a favor, so I don't want to make a nuisance of myself.

I know you are, love. So am I.

Right. By all means, don't annoy him. Maybe you should send him chocolates? Or make him some of your legendary coffee?

Is this really happening? I mean, I'm not just imagining this, am I?

*laughs* He doesn't drink coffee: he has an ulcer.

God, I hope this is really happening. I'm trying to make it really happen.

I haven't talked to anyone at Torchwood about it yet. I'd rather hold off on that until ti's closer to the time.

Chocolates then. Or you could send him some homemade jam.

I know you are, babe. And I'm trying to be patient.

Not even Jack?

[ooc: How's the editing going?]

Jam! That's a good idea. I should make up some strawberry--I know he likes strawberry.

*kisses you* It may take months. I hope it doesn't, but it might.

Not even Jack. I'm . . . not really looking forward to seeing his reaction.

[ooc: Just fine :). Having only one thread helps. Sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed.]

Ooh, expanding your talents. I'm impressed. You've got to do something with all that equipment you bought.

*kisses you back* I know. I keep telling myself that.

Because you're afraid he'll be upset?

[ooc: Just checking ;). Wanted to make sure I wasn't keeping you from anything. Speaking of which, I'm off to choir rehearsal. I'll be back in a couple hours.]

I gave away most of the jars . . .

*hugs and kisses* Though maybe I'll just show up on your doorstep.

Yes.

[ooc: No problem. Enjoy singing!]

That could make things slightly more difficult. You could make freezer jam though. I'm pretty sure that doesn't require jars.

*kisses your nose* I'd like that. But I'd appreciate at least a little warning. You know, so I can make sure my quarters aren't a mess and work out the little matter of whether or not we can actually be together. I'd rather give my commission up voluntarily than have it taken away.

Sorry, I'm not sure why I asked that. Of course you're afraid he'll be upset.

Oh, it's fine. Jars are cheap.

Oh, fine, spoil my fun. I was rather liking the thought of just showing up and saying, "Surprise!" as I jump into your arms.

It doesn't matter. I'm still coming.

I kind of like that idea too. I'd suggest that you should give me a general idea but not tell me exactly when you'll get here, but...well, new personnel are kind of my responsibility, so unless you come here under an alias, I'll know you're coming.

Okay.

*laughs* So I can forget about surprises, then.

Will you be deciding where my quarters are? Or--even better--our quarters?

Yeah, that's not terribly feasible. Which is really too bad.

Yep. That's my job too. Do you want me to look for quarters we could share?

Well. There's the thing. I'm still worried about you resigning your commission. It's such a big step and I don't want to take anything away from you, you know?

So . . . I wonder if maybe . . . I don't know. I don't want to hide anything. I'm so torn.

I'm more than willing to do this, Ianto. I don't want to hide anything. If we're going to be together, I want us to really be together.

Think of how it was when I was in Cardiff. We couldn't keep our hands off each other. Would you want to have to pretend we were nothing more than friends?

I'll let her know. Thank you.

I could use a talk, yeah. I'll call your mobile.
