A/N Sorry this is so late ... family stuff ... looks like we might have worked out some of the reason my son has been a little s**t this last week or so! Kids ...

Martha have Ianto a reassuring kiss on the cheek before freeing him from her arms, Ianto took her hand as they walked from the kitchen back to the living room. A small smile crossed Ianto's face when he saw Gwen and Rhys struggling with trying to get nappies on the wriggling twins as they approached the spot where Jack was watching them chuckling to himself, Martha reached for Jack's hand with her free one and squeezed it before replacing hers with Ianto's and giving him a smile as Jack grasped Ianto's hand tight, not missing the smile playing on his lips.

“Think we should offer to help?” Asked Jack.

“Nope.” Replied Ianto.

They watched as Claire couldn't not help any longer and Gwen and Rhys looked on with awe on their faces as she took control and had the twins nappies on and their sleepsuits fastened securely once more in minutes.

“Practice makes perfect.” Claire grinned, handing Caden to Rhys and Eloise to Gwen.

“We should get them to bed and serve dinner.” Jack announced. “Want to do the honours?”

Rhys and Gwen didn't need asking twice, following Claire who led the way just in case the twins thought they would play up again. By the time they returned, the babies settled in their cots the lasagne was served along with a salad Jack had made and was waiting on the dining room table for them.

Jack poured everyone a glass of wine and then sat down, all of them tucking straight into the lasagne and telling a  proud Rhys how great it tasted. Jack had hoped to ask Martha about her still being at UNIT during the evening but it didn't seem an appropriate subject of conversation in front of Ianto so he decided it would have to wait and hoped he could convince her to see him at the hub in the morning to discuss it.

Gwen could talk of nothing but the twins, how big they were getting and how she and Rhys were thinking of trying again for a baby at some point later in the year. She meant when Ianto was back at work and well on the way to recovery but couldn't bring her self to say so, Rhys got on the subject of rugby and Jack was happy to note that Ianto got drawn into the conversation quite animatedly.

By the time desert was served they were all feeling a little more relaxed than when the evening had started, even Ianto looked like he wasn't going to run and hide. Martha talked about Tom, how she wanted to get a job at the hospital he worked in and that she wanted to start a family of her own soon. This got Gwen started on babies again, both of them talking about whether they wanted a girl or a boy.

Jack got up from the table and began to clear away the dirty dishes, carrying them to the kitchen. As he fitted them into the dishwasher he sensed a presence behind him, standing up straight he turned to find Ianto approaching with the empty cream jug and the salt and pepper pots. Jack took them from him and after putting the pots in the cupboard and the jug in the dishwasher he took Ianto's hands in his.

“You okay?” He asked softly.

“Yeah, better than I thought I would be. I'm feeling a bit tired though to be honest.”

“It is getting late, we've taken over three hours for dinner.” Jack laughed softly looking at his watch and realising it was nearly midnight. “How about we kick them out and go to bed?”

“I feel bad about doing that.”

“They'll understand, come on.”

Jack kissed Ianto softly on the lips and then they walked back to the living room hand in hand, standing in the doorway watching their friends who were obviously enjoying themselves before Jack made his announcement.

“Sorry kids, it's late and we have babies who will want our attention in less than seven hours and we really need to get some sleep.”

Rhys and Gwen were thanked by all for the dinner, Jack and Ianto for being the perfect host as coats were donned. After hugs all round, Martha whispering in Ianto's ear that she hoped he would be feeling better soon as she hugged him before the opened the door to the cold night air.

“It's snowing!” Gwen exclaimed.

It was falling hard and fast in huge flakes and the local world was completely white, never normally getting much snow in Cardiff it was an amazing sight.

Jack, Ianto and Claire watched as the other three walked carefully down the path before waving to them one last time, then shut the door shivering from the cold. Claire wished them a good night and then excused herself, saying she would check on the twins on her way to bed.

After finishing clearing the dining room table they turned off all the downstairs lights and headed upstairs, Ianto used the bathroom first while Jack gazed out the bedroom window at the white landscape.

By the time Jack returned to the bedroom after his turn in the bathroom it looked like Ianto was asleep, but once he had slipped into bed beside him Ianto moved to curl against him and wrapped his arms about him tightly.

Ianto tilted his head up to look at Jack. “Kiss me.”

Jack tilted his head down and kissed him tenderly, unable to stop the small sigh that was captured by Ianto's mouth as Ianto's tongue slid into his mouth and deepened the kiss.

That was a nice happy chapter. I really enjoyed that. It just felt very fresh. Weird word to decribe it but there ya go.

And you really are a bad girl leaving it there. Are we going to get an interlude now?

Oh I hope Ianto is well on his way to recovery. Those last two paragraphs were lovely and the hints we got early by how excited he was to talk about rugby. Lovely chapter.

[identity profile] missthingsplace.livejournal.com 2009-01-11 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, he sure is. Obviously the meds have a lot to do with it but on the whole, yes he's getting better.

Thank you :D

Ianto is definately getting better and better with each day. Fingers crossed he continues to go in the right direction.
