The sun shone brightly without a cloud in the sky when Ianto looked out the castle window.
“Perfect weather for a perfect day,” he declared. “and guess who's carriage has just arrived?”
“Toshiko's?” Jack asked, stood by the crib and gazing down at the twins slumbering within.
“Yep!” Ianto grinned. “You stay here with the babies, I shall go and greet her.”
“I can't wait to see what she has made them for their naming ceremony,” Jack said. “but I know something for sure, whatever they are, they will be perfect.”
“She is so clever,” Ianto agreed. “I'll bring her straight up, if I can tear her away from Donna.”
“I'm sure she can't wait to meet the babies so it won't be hard,” Jack laughed.
“True, I'll be back soon.” Ianto said then left the room leaving Jack to continue to watch their children.
It was barely five minutes when he returned with Toshiko, who burst past him the second they reached the room and practically ran across the room to the crib.
“Oh my ...” she gasped. “they are so perfect, beautiful like their fathers.”
“You are too kind,” Jack beamed proudly.
“I am only telling the truth,” their friend smiled and then placed the cloth bag she carried down on the bed. “would you like to see their naming ceremony outfits now?”
“Of course, they will be needing them in a couple if short hours,” Ianto answered and the young woman pulled two silk bags from the first one and then opened the pull string cord of the first and there within lay something of the palest blue fabric.
Toshiko carefully took it from it's silk bag and shook it out revealing it in it's fully glory. The naming outfit was a long gown of the softest cashmere with the Royal crest embroidered on the right side if the chest.
“It's perfect,” Jack and Ianto said in unison making all three of them laugh.
Toshiko reached for the other silk bag and pulled out an identical naming gown, this time in the palest pink.
“I'm so happy you like them,” Toshiko said, laying the gowns on top of the bed. “I thought I should go for something simple.”
“They are beautiful, we knew you would make the perfect attire for the occasion,” Jack smiled. “thank you.”
“You are very welcome,” she smiled. “this day is one I have been looking too ever since you announced you were with child.”
“Us too, although sometimes I wondered if it would ever arrive,” Jack joked. “I was beginning to feel like the size of a house!”
“You were still gorgeous,” Ianto grinned, giving Jack a kiss on the cheek.
“Well, I better so and see Donna now, she told me that she has something very important to tell me,” Toshiko said. “and that it involves Owen, any ideas?”
“Not a clue, sorry,” Ianto answered but he had an inkling and was keeping it to himself.
“Then I shall go, see you at the naming ceremony,” Toshiko said and with a final smile hurried from the room and left them alone.
“I think I know what Donna is going to Toshiko,” Ianto said when Toshiko was out of earshot. “I think that after the naming ceremony she is going to announce that it will no longer be against the law for men and women to be together.”
“That was meant to happen months ago!” Jack exclaimed. “What happened?”
“Lots of things,” Ianto reminded him. “You becoming pregnant and Hart trying to kill you for a start!
“True, but I can't believe that Toshiko and Owen have had to keep their secret for so much longer than we intended,” Jack sighed.
“It's a shame, but it doesn't matter now,” Ianto smiled. “if Donna reveals this today they can be together openly and have children of their own.”
“And another wedding?” Jack asked, a huge beaming smile on his face.
“I imagine so,” Ianto laughed. “but for now we need to concentrate on our children's big day and get them ready for it, any minute now the water will arrive to bath them.”
“Do you think everyone will like the names?” Jack asked.
“If Donna's reaction was anything to go by, then yes,” Ianto answered.
“Good.” Jack grinned and helped Ianto prepare the twins for their bath.
*~*~*~*~*
“Wow, look at all the people,” Jack exclaimed when their carriage reached the edge of the very meadow where the twin had been born.
“I'd say the whole of Utopia and many more have come out today to celebrate with us,” Ianto smiled, the carriage pulling to a halt at the back of the meadow where the ceremony was to be conducted.
“You're right, but I never expected such a crowd,” Jack admitted, exiting the carriage with one of the twins in his arms, followed quickly by Ianto with the other.
The gathered crown began to clap and cheer at their arrival and neither of the two men could keep the happy grins off their faces, the babies stirring in their arms at the sounds of the crowd
“Please, may I have silence,” the Queen called out, her voice loud and clear and those gathered began to settle down until they were silent. “thank you. Before we start I wish to thank each and everyone for coming today to witness the naming of your future queen and her brother. Please, remain silent for the ceremony.”
The Doctor stepped into view, Jack and Ianto joining him, one either side of where he stood with their infant children.
“Good afternoon, and welcome to the naming ceremony of Jack and Ianto of Utopia,” he began, a smile upon his face. “the ceremony is short but I am sure the celebrations won't be.”
A laugh came from the crowd and then they became quiet once more.
“Today is a very important day for Utopia, today we name our future queen and her twin brother,” he continued. “this is a day that for some time it appeared might never happen and now we have been blessed with twins.”
There was a small pause while the Doctor reached out to the Queen and she passed him a small silver dish. He dipped his fingers into it and then dripped a couple of drops, first on the little boys forehead and then the little girls.
“Today I bless you with the names you will carry with you for eternity, in this life and forever more,” the Doctor proclaimed, then turned to Jack who held the baby girl.
“Today I name you, in accordance with your parents wishes,” he continued. “and your name is Arianwyn.”
The crowd cheered at the name of their future queen and the Doctor turned to the Ianto and the baby boy.
“ Today I name you, in accordance with your parents wishes,” he continued. “and your name is Alejandro.”
The crowed roared with pleasure again, this time taking a little longer to settle down.
“May they live long and happy lives,” the Doctor finished, to more cheers with Jack and Ianto holding their children close, small tears of happiness sliding down their cheeks.
Donna moved from where she stood at the side of the proceedings and placed a kiss first upon Jack's cheek, then the forehead of Arianwyn. She then moved and repeated her actions with Ianto and Alejandro before moving to stand next to the Elder.
“I have an announcement to make,” she said clearly. “from today, from this moment on I decree that it will no longer be illegal in Utopia for men and women to become more than just friends. They shall be able to marry and have children of their own. The law is outdated and I believe that if allowed women will be able to bear children too and perhaps then we shall have more girls born to us. I hope everyone can accept this law because there is one other detail I wish to declare.”
With that she reached for the Elders and and their fingers entangled, the crowd gasped, along with Jack and Ianto.
“The Doctor and I would like to make our own announcement,” she said with a big beaming smile. “We have known each other a very long time and over the past few months we have found ourselves becoming much closer and we hope with the blessing of you all to be betrothed.”
The crowed roared, the sound of their cheers and the clapping of their hands finally rousing the twins from their sleep and they began to cry in their fathers arms. Jack and Ianto slipped away back to the carriage where they had feeding bags prepared for this moment and climbed inside to feed their children.
“Did you have any idea? About Donna and the Doctor?” Ianto asked Jack once the babies were feeding quietly.
“Not a clue,” Jack admitted. “but I am so happy for them, I always wondered of Donna would find someone to become betrothed to.”
“Then perhaps we will have two weddings in the near future,” Ianto smiled.
“I hope so,” Jack smiled back, the crowd beginning to dissipate in the meadow and head back to the castle where a banquet was laid out for the naming ceremony feast. “we should head back and settle these two so we can celebrate with everyone.”
“And interrogate Donna and the Doctor?” Ianto grinned.
“Of course!” Jack laughed and gave instruction to the carriage driver to take them back home.

As for the announcement...I didn't really see that coming!

It's wonderful that Donna and the Doctor are getting betrothed - it will take the pressure off Tosh and Owen too, as they won't be the first. The Queen will set the precedent.
Now everyone can enjoy the celebration and start preparing for the next one!

I figured the change in the law was what Donna wanted to talk to Tosh about. It was unexpected when she also announced her and the Doctor's relationship, though there were times they acted a bit a bit suspicious when someone came into the room they were in together. They make a good couple and now they, and Tosh and Owen, can be openly together and get married.
