Choosing Names Ain't Easy
Lucinda walked into her husband’s office after her doctor’s appointment and found Ianto asleep at his desk.
Under his head was the list of names she had left for Ianto to review. They had already settled on Gia for their daughter, but choosing a name for their son was proving difficult.
Lucinda scanned the list of eight names. Thomas was crossed out as was Liam, Tristan, Ivan, Kevin and Samson.
The name Jack was gouged out with a violent NO next to the hole where the name once was.
However, Harper was circled with the note: Owen will haunt me.

Martha smiled as she read the text on her mobile and tried to hide it from her dinner companion.
“You’ve been going to San Diego a lot. Are you leaving too?” Jack said with his mouth full. “What’s Harper and Gia?” he peeked at Martha’s phone.
“It’s UNIT business. I always return.” Martha stuttered slightly. “They're the names a friend and his wife chose for the twins they're having .” She hated keeping these secrets, knowing neither Jack or Ianto might ever speak to her again. Jack because she knew Ianto was alive and well and Ianto for not telling him about Ava.
