Little more than three hours later, the twins bathed and fed and baby Dylan asleep in his Moses basket in the living room they were disturbed by a knock on the door.

Jack glanced over at Ianto who shrugged at his unasked question about who it might be, pulling Caden who was sitting on his lap up and setting him down in his vacated space he headed to the front door a little annoyed that their peaceful evening with their kids was being disturbed.

“Jack!” Martha beamed as Jack opened the door.

“What ... how did you get here so fast?” Jack asked a little shocked to see their friend standing there.

“I had a little help.” Martha grinned as the Doctor appeared from just out of sight.

“Well, that certainly explains a lot.” Jack chuckled as Donna appeared next to them.

“So, where the new sprog then?” Asked Donna

“Sorry, come in.” Jack replied.

Jack let them past and followed them through to the living room after closing the door to excited squeals of the twins, little Dylan fussing at being woken by the commotion in Ianto's arms as he gave up trying to shhh them.

“Oh he's just perfect!” Donna exclaimed, her arms out to take him as she greeted Ianto.

“Uncle Doctor, uncle Doctor.” The twins were chanting, sitting one either side of him as he settled into the armchair.

“So, what do you think of your baby brother?” The Doctor asked them.

“He's so small.” Eloise replied.

“He's boring and cries too much.” Caden pouted.

“He'll soon get bigger.” The Doctor replied.

“That's what I told him.” Jack replied with a grin.

“How are you feeling Jack, all healed?” Martha asked.

“Yeah, some little twinges inside but I'm okay.” Jack told her.

“You may heal fast Jack, but you still need to look after yourself, okay?” Martha told him.

“Yes ma'am!” Jack grinned.

“So, do I get a hold of little Dylan now?” Martha asked Donna.

“He's such a sweetie.” Donna replied, carefully handing Dylan into Martha's waiting arms.

“I'll never get over the marvel that you had these children.” Martha told Jack.

“I'm more than happy he can.” Ianto replied, moving to Jack's side and winding as arm around his waist and kissing his cheek.

“You two are so cute.” Donna grinned, watching the Doctor interacting with the twins, seemingly like he was telling them some story the way his was gesturing with his arms.

“Look.” Donna whispered to Jack, Ianto and Martha. “At the Doctor.”

The Doctor, Eloise and Caden were all so engrossed in whatever it was he was telling them that none of them noticed they were being observed.

“Sometimes I wonder if he wants kids of his own one day, he's so good with them.” Donna said.

“He did have a family once, his granddaughter travelled with him, he told me once he couldn't bare to lose anyone that close again.” Martha replied.

Donna nodded. “I think that's why he never let Rose as close to him as he wanted to, the way he still speaks of her now ... he misses her more than he'd ever admit.”

“He loved her.” Martha agreed. “I used to be so jealous of her.”

“He's a skinny spaceman in a suit, an alien!” Donna replied. “I can't see it myself.”

“Oh I have to agree with Martha, and Rose for that matter.” Jack laughed.

“Oi!” Ianto retorted.

“He's not as beautiful as you.” Jack replied, kissing Ianto on the softly on the lips as he tried to redeem himself.

“Smooth talker.” Martha laughed as Ianto rolled his eyes at his lover.

“He loves me really.” Jack told her, giving his best pout.

“Always have.” Ianto admitted.

“Oh get a room!” Donna told them laughing.

“We did, you're in it.” Ianto retorted.

“So, when do you want that contraceptive implant put back?” Martha asked. “I can do it while we're still here, tomorrow?”

“The sooner the better.” Jack told her with a wink.

“You've just given birth!” Martha exclaimed.

“And?” Jack grinned.

“Daddy, dada!” Caden shouted, running over to his fathers before Martha could reply. “Uncle Doctor said he'd take us on a trip in the TARDIS.”

“Oh did he?” Jack asked.

“Yep, he said he would take us to see the dinosaurs!” Caden replied excitedly.

“You don't think that might be a little dangerous?” Jack asked the Doctor with a grin.

“They were telling me all about Myfanwy and how they wished they could see other dinosaurs.” The Doctor replied, Eloise now sat on his lap. “It wouldn't hurt for them to take a little trip, I'd make sure they were safe.”

“If they go and see the dinosaurs we'll be going with them.” Ianto told him. “It's not that we don't trust you or the TARDIS but, well, I want to go to!”

“I think Dylan's getting hungry.” Donna told them, Dylan trying to suck on her top. “And maybe a nappy change.” She added, wrinkling her nose.

“I'll take him.” Ianto replied, lifting the infant from her arms and leaving the room.

“Time you two were in bed.” Jack told the twins, glancing at the clock. “You have school tomorrow.”

“But daddy, we want to listen to the Doctor's stories.” Eloise moaned.

“We'll still be here tomorrow, when you get home from school.” The Doctor promised. “You go to bed and I'll tell you more stories then.”

“Fine.” She grumbled, climbing off the Doctor's lap. “Come on Caden.”

“Don't we get a kiss goodnight?” Martha asked, looking upset.

“Night auntie Martha.” They called out in unison, kissing her on the cheek then repeating it with Donna and the Doctor before heading up to bed.

“They're growing into great kids.” The Doctor said to Jack.

“The best.” Jack replied proudly. “Now, I'm going to find my husband and take over the baby duties so he can make us all coffee.”

“I thought you'd never offer.” Martha replied, sitting down on the sofa with Donna.

“I won't be long.” Jack replied, leaving the room.

Jack found Ianto in their bedroom, Dylan lying in the middle of the bed as Ianto tugged a jumper over his head.

“I thought I should get dressed.” Ianto said, eyeing the dressing gown Jack was still wearing. “As we have guests.”

“They don't mind.” Jack told him, wrapping his arms around him and kissing him tenderly.

“But I do.” Ianto said as they watched their tiny son sucking on his fist.

“Would you make some coffee? I'll feed Dylan.” Jack asked. “I'm gasping for my first real cup of coffee on months.”

“I guess you deserve it.” Ianto grinned.

“Put a bottle in the warmer and we'll be down in a moment.” Jack told him, releasing him from his arms and picking up Dylan.

“Okay.” Ianto replied, leaving Jack with the baby.

“So Dylan, what do you think of the world so far?” Jack whispered to the infant.

Dylan appeared to look deep into Jack's eyes, neglecting his fist as he focused on his father.

“You have your dada's eyes.” Jack smiled at his son. “Those eyes will be in my memories for eternity.”

A tear ran down Jack's face as he thought about what that meant, brushing it away angrily Jack cuddled Dylan close.

“Nope, we can't think like that today, come on little'n, time for supper.” Jack smiled again, carrying him downstairs again for his feed, forcing any sad thoughts of the future from his head.

Reaching the kitchen he found Ianto just finishing pouring the coffee into the mugs and setting the pot back down, Jack moved over to him quickly, holding Dylan carefully and kissed him breathless.

“What was that for?” Ianto panted.

Jack shrugged. “I love you.”

“Are you okay?” Ianto frowned.

“One of the best days of my life.” Jack replied, giving Ianto his widest grin. “Go and take our guests mugs of your nectar.”

“Bottle in the warmer.” Ianto said, still frowning a little as he carried the mugs of coffee out on a tray.

Jack grabbed the bottle of milk and followed him, Martha and Donna sitting either side of him as he fed his son.

Within a few minutes Jack was back to his normal self, laughing a joking with the others and all his sad thoughts forgotten.
