A/N: This series is very AU and i haven't written anything like it before! For the purposes of this story Jack is seventeen and mortal. I have absolutely no idea where this came from but i hope you like and enjoy. Written for [info]wrianojune

The following morning the girls came down to breakfast together, hands held and settled at the kitchen table. There was no denying the Roberta was still in some pain as she wriggled a little on the wooden chair trying to get comfortable, without saying a word Ianto left the room and returned a few minutes later with a cushion and handed it to the teenager who took it shyly, blushing a little as she thanked him while lifting herself off the seat and placing it beneath her before sitting down again with a small sigh of relief.


Jack dished out bowls of porridge he had prepared for them all, joining them at the table just as Sarah arrived with the two younger children who, after saying hello politely to their fathers ran straight up to their rooms to get ready for school.


Good morning Roberta, I didn't know you were staying the night?” Sarah said politely, helping herself to a bowl of porridge, she had fed the children but hadn't bothered herself in her hurry to get them back home to change for school.


Roberta looked down at her now empty bowl, not sure what to say.


Why don't you go and dress girls, I don't think you should go to school today though.” Jack told them, trying to spare Roberta's blushes. “One day off won't hurt you.”


Thanks daddy.” Eirween told him, both of them vacating the kitchen quickly.


What's wrong?” Sarah asked, looking questionably at then two men sat opposite her.


Roberta's father caught the girls kissing on Roberta's bed and he didn't take to kindly to it.” Ianto told her.


So he thought he'd take his belt to her, she's in pain but she won't let me get a doctor to check her over.” Jack added.


He beat her?” Sarah gasped horrified.


His reaction to their budding relationship isn't as open minded as ours.” Jack said sadly. “I wanted to ask a favour of you?”


Go on.” Sarah told him.


When I confronted her father he said he'd caught them kissing and touching.” Jack replied. “I'm worried they are rushing into things despite Eirween's reassurance to me that they hadn't gone past kissing, he might have been lying but I think they might need a woman to talk to rather than Ianto or I, I was hoping you would feel comfortable enough to do that for me, us?”


What exactly do you want to know?” Sarah asked.


Just that they aren't rushing into things, they're only sixteen and still so young.” Jack told her. “I know how hard it is to control yourself when you think you're in love, I just don't want either of them to get hurt of they take it as far as they can and then find out it wasn't what they really wanted.”


So, what you're saying it your worried one of them will realise it is just a phase and will break it off in favour of boys?” Sarah asked bluntly.


That about sums it up.” Jack admitted. “It looks like they have genuine affection for each other but I couldn't bear for them to end up hurt.”


I'll talk to them for you but I won't push them into telling me anything their not comfortable with.” Sarah replied. “Do they know about this?”


No, but Ianto and I will head off to the airfield when Thomas and Lizzy go to school and then maybe you can fine some way to broach the subject?” Jack asked.


I'm sure I can think of something, not go and gee up those two for school or they'll be late.” Sarah urged.


Less than fifteen minutes later Sarah found herself alone in the house with the girls, making up a batch of Eirween's favourite biscuits she called the girls down to the kitchen as soon as they were out the oven, placing the plate of warm biscuits on the table and handing them both large glasses of cold milk.


How are you girls?” Sarah asked, still not sure how to ask what she needed to.


I'm fine thank you.” Roberta told her with a small smile.


Great.” Eirween told her.


Eirween's father's told me what happened Roberta, I know it's upsetting and a little embarrassing but they told me you were in pain.” Sarah told her carefully. “Are you sure you don't want anyone to examine you?”


The pain isn't as bad as it was.” Roberta told her, blushing a little.


If you change your mind then don't feel you can't ask me to get my husband to help, okay?” Sarah told her.


Roberta nodded. “Thank you.”


There was something they wanted me to ask you as they thought you might feel more comfortable talking to another woman.” Sarah added. “Both of you, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. When Jack confronted your father Roberta he told him he'd caught you kissing and touching ... both Jack and Ianto are worried you're rushing into things.”


He told ... he told him that?” Roberta asked with a stutter.


We were, we did but ... we were completely dressed.” Eirween spluttered out. “We'd never done it before and it felt nice ...”


Both girls blushed furiously as Eirween trailed off.


Girls, there's nothing wrong with wanting to explore each other and how it feels and I believe you, just promise me to take it slowly? Jack and Ianto are just worried about you, nothing else.” Sarah reassured them.


But it felt so good.” Eirween blurted out before she could stop herself.


Sex is one of the best feelings in the world.” Sarah told them with a smile. “But no one should rush into it, it brings so many emotions with it, some of which can be confusing at first. You should take the time to know your own bodies before each others, it'll help.”


What do you mean?” Roberta asked.


Sarah sighed, this wasn't a path she had intended to go down and now she had she wasn't sure how to put it.


Sarah?” Eirween asked when she didn't answer.


Sarah could feel herself blushing as she began to explain.


It's called masturbation, there are people who consider it wrong but it's nothing more than touching and exploring your own body to find out what ... makes you excited.” Sarah told them. “It won't cause you any harm and it should never make you feel dirty or guilty.”


Both girls were staring wide eyed at her, neither of them ever having heard the term before.


Really?” Eirween asked. “People do that?”


Yes.” Sarah told them with a smile. “More people than would ever admit it.”


Even ... even my dads?” Eirween asked, screwing up her face. “Eww.”


Sarah laughed. “It's always best not to think about your parents and anything to do with sex at the same time.”


Don't worry, I've wiped that thought from my mind completely.” Eirween told her.


Okay girls, I think that's enough for one day.” Sarah told them with a chuckle, picking up their empty milk glasses. “Or we may go down a route that none of us are ready for.”


The girls got up from the table, Eirween reached for Roberta's hand and before they left the kitchen they both hesitated as if not knowing what to say to Sarah.


It's alright girls, I understand.” Sarah told them with a smile. “Why don't you go and groom Myfanwy, she's getting old and would be grateful of the company.”


We will.” Eirween told her with a smile.


Sarah watched them go and then let out a sigh of relief, that had gone a lot easier than she thought it would.

Nice chapter. You handled the subject matter well, considering how uncomfortable the subject can be to a lot of parents. And, yes, it was better addressed by a woman.
