It was a good day for a picnic as the sun was shining and the sky was very clear with minimal clouds marring it's azure elegance. The spring had come at last after a harsh and bitter Norwegian winter. Rose Tyler, was smiling as she was looking over at John Smith. He met her eyes and walked over to her and knelt down on the blanket with her and kissed her forehead tenderly and gently. He then kissed the top of his son's head a moment. Rose smiled as little Johnny lay in her arms asleep and peaceful.
John went and placed out plates for them. Rose kissed her son's forehead tenderly and placed him in the traveling playpen and she watched as the baby yawned a moment and snuggled up into a more peaceful sleep.
::You look so much like your Daddy when you sleep.::
These were her thoughts as she stood up and smiled as John had come over and wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her ear. He looked down at the child with a smile and he just for a moment stood there holding Rose in his arms. They stood together and felt peace surrounding them.
"He is so beautiful Rose. I was very scared when you told me we were going to have a baby but looking at him now. It's as if we were always little John's parents. He's mine you know and sure okay maybe he's his but he is mine too and well Rose I.."
As John said this to her, Rose had been relaxed and closed her eyes and just felt the strong comforting arms that surrounded her. John Smith had become her comfort in a time of need and much stress in her life. She opened her eyes and tilted her head up to kiss her lover gently a moment and smiled. It was true technically little John was the Doctors child but since John and the Doctor were genetically the same as they were a part of each other.
John was human, John would grow old with her and the Doctor could not. Their one night of passion, a gift from the Doctor for that one night between them and as she looked over at her sleeping child, she could not regret it even for a moment.
She answered John simply as his words broke through her thoughts in that moment.
"I can't believe he'll be two soon. I'm so happy John. So blissfully happy and content. He's your son John. Our son and your his Daddy. I love you John."
As she told him this they walked hand and hand unto the blanket where their picnic fare sat waiting for them. As they cuddled up and began to eat, they became absorbed in each other. In doing so neither of them had noticed the sky growing more cloudy or felt the air become electrically charged.
"Rose I love you so much,will you marry me?"
John asked this as he knelt taking her hands in his and she nodded as he placed a ring on her finger and kissed him.
Suddenly there was a sound and they got up as it seemed for a moment the sky was full of electric charge. They both for a moment stood in awe as it was a beautiful cascade across the sky. Golden flashes and silver entwined shaping and shifting in the sky above them. Rose went to gathering the picnic basket and things as John went over and lifted their son up careful not to wake him up as he seemed to slumber peacefully on despite the now clash of thunder and the lightning that was consistently lighting up the skies above.
John handed Rose the baby and took the picnic basket from her and the portable play pen to the boot of the car and placed them inside. He smiled as he walked over and took their son in his arms walking back towards the car.
Johnny was playing with John's Fob watch as they walked to the car. John smiled and placed it in the child's pocket so he would not drop it. He looked down at his son a moment and kissed the little boy's face and felt so happy.
Rose looked up at her men a moment then down at the ring on her finger and smiled so happy she began to cry. It was perfect. Her life would be perfect now..
Suddenly as if in slow motion a flash of light hit and it surrounded the spot where John and little Johnny were standing. In that flash the two males were there and then gone. Rose looked around in absolute horror as the skies then suddenly began to clear rapidly and all the energies that had been before rocking and thundering through the skies were now absent.
"John.. come on John... John? This is not funny at all John Smith! JOHN?!? JOHNNY?!?"
Rose said this as she wondered for a moment if he had been teasing her and playing a practical joke on her. She looked around and there was no sight of John Smith or her baby boy. Rose in that moment broke down into tears and screamed in terror..
Cardiff,United Kingdom
1983
There was a flash of light filtering a moment in a lonely alleyway as the sky above moments before were clear turned a gray overcast. In that moment the sound of a small child crying out echoed off the cobble stone and walls around it.
Opening a window, Gemma Jones peeked out to see what the commotion was all about. She figured it was another stray cat that ad possibly gotten it's tail caught as it happened every so often. She looked down and her breath caught.
Gemma found herself running down the stairs from the flat she and her husband and daughter shared to take a closer look. To her amazement there it was. Her eyes hadn't deceived her after all. Gemma knelt down and lifted the crying child into her arms and rocked him. She looked around wondering where the babe had come from. She saw the sky was turning ugly and decided to bring the poor lad inside. For now she would wait for her husband Gareth to come home before she contacted the authorities.
Gemma bathed and dressed the babe in clothes that were hand me downs from her daughter Rhiannon and made a make shift cloth nappy for the baby. Once she was satisfied he was changed properly she went and fed the lad some milk and bread and rocked him gently. The child looked up at her in contentment. Soon the little boy fell asleep in her arms and she sat on the sofa looking down at him.
Gemma watched him silently and was in awe with the babes ten perfect fingers and toes, she knew that this child was a answer to her prayers as she had been trying in vain for awhile to conceive a child with her husband.
Gemma was a very religious woman and believed this was God's work for her relentless and devout faith. She had noticed that the child looked well nourished and loved and cared for and she even now believed more that it was devine intervention that had brought the baby she now held in her arms.
Gareth came home half an hour later and was surprised when Gemma had not met him at the doorway, he went to find her and was a bit surprised when she was laying on the sofa with a small bundle in her arms laying on her breast.
As he approached he saw the look in his wife's eyes ad then down to the face of the child on her bosom and for a moment said not a word. He just kissed his wife's forehead and then took the babe up into his arms.
"Gemma? Where did this little one come from and who does he belong to?"
As he asked this, Gareth was then silent as he saw the baby open his eyes and look at him. The two year old took hold of his finger in that moment and he was lost in the emotions of the whole thing. The baby's blue eyes were large and clear and he did not cry one bit but looked up with curiosity at him now.
"That's the thing he was from God Gareth. He appeared out of no place and in that dirty alley below hungry and dirty. We can keep him can't we? God surely would want us to keep him? The only thing to any clue is this fob watch he was holding it when he came to me Gareth."
As Gemma said this Gareth smiled and kissed the baby's forehead. A boy. He was holding a son and Gareth nodded quietly as he sat down and looked the child over slowly. He placed the fob watch into his pocket for now and smiled at Gemma. The sound of the bus dropping off Rhiannon and her footfalls entered the house then. Gareth smiled as Rhiannon came in and exclaimed.
"Daddy why are you holding a baby?"
She asked this with the curious mind of a six year old. She then put her school things away and begged to hold the baby. As she was doing this and Gemma showed her how to do it properly, Gareth had went round to the grocers and got the necessary needs for the young lad. He came back with baby clothes as well as some bolts of fabric. Soon all three were in love with the newest addition to the family and Gemma and Gareth decided to adopt him as their own.
The Jones, went through the necessary adoption channels and were granted the right to adopt the baby. As they did so they decided to name him Ianto, Ianto Jones. In the few weeks it took them to adopt the little orphan they had decided to name him for Gareth's Grandfather.
Ianto Gareth Jones was now official and he was loved very much. Gareth had even made him a few suits for when he was a bit older and could appreciate them. Life resumed as per normal for the Jones' and they all were very happy with the arrangement. In Gareth's eyes and that of his Gemma's God had fulfilled their greatest blessing upon them. Barren themselves after Rhiannon had been born, they had prayed for this miracle and in their eyes their baby boy was just that. A miracle from God..
The pocket watch was for the moment forgotten, however it was kept for Ianto when he was old enough to appreciate it. Gareth had no idea what the symbols or things on the back of the watch meant.To him it was very decorative and lovely and he knew that what ever had happened, that Ianto should have it. It belonged to the boy after all.
