ROANA
I can hardly wait
to see you come of age.
Roana snickered at Ianto, laughing only because despite the teasing tone it did sound wonderful. ”A more romantic scene has never been painted in my mind. I just might get goosebumps.” she said with a grin, shaking her head a little. Oh yes, parenthood really would do a number on what one considered a romantic anything.
The boys watched intently as Ianto formed the frame of the basket, eyes wide with awe. ”So they are like bones then?” Cormac asked, head tilting to the side. ”Yeah, and the rest of the basket is all the squishy bits outside the bones?! Like the skin and the muscles and the organs?!” Rhett added, making their mother sigh and shake her head. ”I swear I am not raising serial killers. We just learned what bodies are made of the other day so now everything is made of body parts.” she said, clearly equal parts embarrassed and exhausted with the constant macabre similes.
”One big one!” the boys said in near perfect unison, but Roana quickly began shaking her head, holding up three fingers for Ianto to see. Trying to get them to share a basket in which a task was involved would be a nightmare and would probably result in one single basket being ripped in pieces.

But I guess we'll have to be patient,
'cause it's a long way to go.
