Arriving home they were more than happy to find the wonderful aroma of what smelt like a casserole wafting from the kitchen. It wasn't the job of their children's nanny to cook for them but she was doing it more and more of late, telling them it was just as easy to cook for five as it was three.

They were barely through the front door then the sound of excited children filled the air followed by their five year old twins bursting into the hall with squeals of delight at the sight of their fathers. Ianto grabbed Eloise under the arms and swung her around as she giggled while Jack crouched down and pulled Caden into a big hug until the kids swapped and welcomed their other parent home in the same excited manner.

“Claire said we're going back to school soon daddy, different school?” Eloise asked as they walked into the living room.

“Yeah, we found you a better school that has very good security, which means no one can take children from it that don't belong to them.” Jack replied honestly.

“We have to make new friends again.” Caden pouted. “I like my friends at the other school.”

“You only knew then two days bub, you'll make new friends easily.” Ianto told him.

“I wanna go to the new school dada.” Eloise told him. “One where no one bad can take me.”

“No one will ever take you away from daddy and I again.” Ianto reassured her. “No one, or your brother.”

“Promise?”

“Promise.” Ianto told her again.

“Where's Claire?” Jack asked.

“Kitchen.” Caden replied. “Making casserole, yummy.”

“What would we do without her.” Jack sighed.

“Die of starvation or from eating junk food.” Ianto grinned.

“You still don't eat enough vegetables.” Jack chuckled.

“Don't start on that again.” Ianto replied rolling his eyes and making the twins laugh.

“Lets go and see if dinners ready yet.” Jack said, leading them all in the direction of the kitchen.

They walked into the kitchen just as Claire was lifting a huge casserole dish from the oven, she smiled at them as she set it on the table. “Just in time for dinner.”

“You're an angel Claire.” Ianto told her. “I'm starving.”

“Plenty for everyone, sit.” She told them.

Claire got out five large bowls and filled them one at a time and handed them out starting with the twins, they all dug in hungrily helping themselves to the chunks of buttered bread she had already put on the table. As they ate Claire wondered if Jack would have any weird food cravings which made her smile when she imagined his wanting ice cream and pickles or sardine and strawberry sandwiches.

“Any plans this evening?” Jack asked her, knowing their odd hours made it hard for her to arrange her own personal life.

“Some friends are going to the movies, I said I'd meet them there if I was able.”

“Feel free, just keep your phone on vibrate in case something crops us, we'll bathe the kids and get them to bed.” Jack told her.

“Thanks.” She smiled finishing her bowl of casserole, she got up to clear the table.

“Leave it, we can do that.” Ianto told her. “Go get ready.”

“Okay.” She agreed, placing the empty bowl back down and running from the kitchen and up t her room.

“So, who wants to help dada fill the dishwasher?” Ianto asked, looking at Jack and the twins.

“Not me.” Caden shouted, getting down from the table and running from the room.

“Or me.” Eloise told him, following her brother.

“I guess that leaves me then.” Jack laughed as he collected the empty dishes.

“I'll go and start their bath.” Ianto suggested. “Won't be long before they demand separate baths I imagine.”

“Yeah, before the 'whys he got one of them and I haven't' questions preferably.” Jack joked.

“You know I can't wait until we have to give them the 'birds and bees' talk and I so want you you tell them while I watch.”

“Why?” Jack asked.

“Well, you're all 'you and your quaint little categories' and how no one should be ashamed of sex and the like, I want to see how you handle telling our children about it.”

“I shall tell them that they're not allowed to have partners till they are at least thirty and no sex till they are forty.” Jack said somewhat seriously.

“I don't think that'll work.” Ianto laughed pulling Jack into his arms and kissing him softly.

“It might if we locked them in the hub.” Jack said thoughtfully.

“Jack, not going to happen, we will just give them any information they need and inform them of the risks. Also telling Caden he how he could get pregnant will be interesting, we don't need any accidents with either of them.”

“Okay, okay, I concede.”

“Good, now get that dishwasher filled and I'll get the kids in the bath.”

Jack grinned to himself as he filled the dishwasher, if only Ianto knew just how serious he felt about locking the kids away but he knew he couldn't. They had to experience life and it's ups and downs just like everyone else, but hell, no one liked to think of their kids having sex.

Jack also tided the kitchen and straightened up the living room, picking up some wayward toys and straightening the cushions on the sofa before venturing upstairs where he found the kids out the bath and wearing their pyjamas while they brushed their teeth.

“Who wants daddy to tell you a story?” Ianto asked them when they finished, Jack was stood in the doorway leaning against the frame watching them.

“Me me me.” They both chanted, heading off to their room.

“You go read to them while I take a shower, I do believe you promised me an early night?” Ianto whispered to Jack.

“So I did, won't be long.” Jack replied and left the bathroom after pressing a small kiss to Ianto's lips.

Ianto pushed the door closed and sighed happily as he stood under the cascading water of the shower.
