“The guests took it well,” Donna smiled, sitting down on the comfy sofa on the Doctor's office. “I was worried they might be shocked and adverse to the idea.”

“We will have to wait and see I would guess, people were caught up in the moment.” he answered. “I think. But if there is any objection I think they will be in the minority.”

“I really hope so,” Donna frowned, her smile disappearing.

The Doctor walked over to her and held out his hands, she took them in her and let him pull her into his embrace, their lips meeting in a soft kiss.

“It was the right decision, you know that,” the Elder said softly. “not just for us for for Toshiko and Owen. I know there aren't many women in all the kingdoms but why should they be denied love when this might actually help the situation.”

“I know, you're right,” the Queen sighed. “this law hasn't helped in any way. I actually don't understand why I didn't revoke it earlier?”

“You needed love to show you the way,” the Doctor smiled.

“Yes, yours and mine, along with that of Toshiko and Owen,” Donna said, smiling once more. “we will deal with any prejudice when the time comes, if it does.”

“We will,” the Elder agreed, dipping his head to kiss her when a knock on the door interrupted them.

“Are we interrupting something?” Jack asked, pushing the door open and spotting their embrace.

“It certainly looks like it,” Ianto smirked, following his husband into the room.

“No, we were only talking,” Donna stated.

“So that's what they are calling it these days are they?” Jack chuckled.

“We can come back later if you want?” Ianto suggested.

“No, no, stay,” the Doctor told them, releasing the Queen from his embrace and taking her hand in his to kiss the back before letting her sink back into her chair and then perched on the arm of it beside her.

Jack and Ianto perched on the edge of the Doctors desk opposite and smiled at them.

“Where are the babies?” Donna asked.

“In their cribs, Toshiko and Owen and watching over them,” Ianto answered. “talking about maybe having one of their own. I have never seen them looking so happy.”

“How long has this been going on then?” Jack asked. “You two?”

“As you know we have been firm friends for a very long time,” Donna explained. “and as time progressed we got closer and closer. It's hard to pinpoint when we realised it was more than mere friendship … we, I found myself wanting to be with the Doctor more and more. I missed his company when we were apart and … I wanted to be … even closer to him.”

“I was feeling the same but I knew it was forbidden so I kept my feelings to myself,” the Elder added. “I found myself seeking out Donna just to be close to her, making up reasons just to be in the same room and then one day it happened. We were looking over a parchment together and our lips met in a brief kiss.”

“At first we pulled apart in horror at what we had done, but instead of rushing off we sat and talked,” Donna smiled. “it took us a while but we finally admitted our feelings to each other. We kept it a secret for so long and thought it would always be that way.”

“Then we learned of Toshiko and Owen's secret – they couldn't keep their eyes off each other and it was so obvious to us – perhaps because we were keeping the same secret,” the Doctor added. “that we knew it was time to consider changing the law. We have no idea if the other realms will agree to follow suit but it's a start.”

“If they have any sense they will!” Ianto huffed.

This caused the other three to laugh.

“Time will tell, but we hope so.” Donna said with a big grin.

“Jack, I think we should tell them about Myfanway?” Ianto suggested quietly.

“If you think it's the right time?” Jack whispered back.

“I do,” he nodded.

“What are you two whispering about?” Donna asked, curious.

“Something happened not long after I arrived here in Utopia,” Ianto explained. “I know it's going to hard to believe but … Utopia has a Dragon.”

“A Dragon?” The Doctor gasped. “But … I heard the rumours but I dismissed them as such. Are you sure?”

“I am, Jack has seen it too,” Ianto grinned.

“And Toshiko and Owen actually,” Jack put it.

“Where is it? Do you know where it's nest is? Have you any idea how important this is?” The Doctor gushed.

“We do, Jack has been filling me in with all the details about the return of the Dragons and what they symbolise.” Ianto replied.

“With the new change in the law and the return of the Dragons … this is so exciting,” the Doctor grinned madly. “the realms should enjoy more female births.”

“I know,” Ianto told him, the Elders excitement filling the room and flooding through all of them.

“Ianto hasn't told you everything,” Jack put in. “he neglected to tell you that he has a connection to her, the Dragon.”

“You mean?” The Doctor gasped.

“Yeah, he's a Dragon Lord.” Jack answered.

“I should have known,” the Elder admonished himself. “I felt the magic in the air. The day of your betrothal it was so strong when the elements were called but I dismissed it as one of those things. Ianto, your coming here to Utopia was your destiny!”

Ianto's eyes went wide. “I didn't want to come, I was so angry at being dragged here to marry a man I had never met. What if my parents hadn't been so insistent that I should come?”

“I have no idea, but I am guessing that the Goddess would have made it happen one way or another,” Donna put in, finally getting a word in edgewise.

“It doesn't matter now,” Jack smiled. “you are here and for that I am truly grateful.”

“Me too,” Ianto agreed, not caring when Jack leaned over to kiss him softly on the lips in front of the other couple.
