Ianto slipped quietly out of bed the following morning leaving Jack sleeping peacefully and headed for the en-suite bathroom, closing the door so the sound of the shower wouldn't wake his husband.


Emerging some twenty minutes later he smiled at his still sleeping husband and pulled on his dressing gown over the towel wrapped around his waist - dressing could wait until Jack was awake – and made his way down to the kitchen where he could hear the twins chatting with Claire.


Can I smell coffee?” Ianto asked, sniffing the air rather dramatically and making the twins giggle.


You do,” Claire smiled, reaching for a mug while he kissed his children and wished them a good morning.


Why do you drink so much coffee dada?” Eloise asked. “And why can't we have any?”


Coffee is for grown-ups sweetheart,” Ianto told her, accepting the mug of coffee from Claire and taking a long sip before continuing. “but it contains something called caffeine and you're teachers wouldn't appreciate the after effects.”


That's not fair, grown-ups get all the best things,” Caden pouted.


Like what?” Ianto asked, amused, wondering what on earth his son was about to come out with.


Cars ... and stuff!” Caden exclaimed. “I want to be big so I can have a big car like the SUV.”


You'll get big soon enough,” Ianto sighed. “make the most of being a kid, because believe me, once you're a grown-up you'll wish you were a kids again.”


Won't!” Caden pouted again.


We'll see,” Ianto chucked while Claire looked on amused.


When I get big I want to work for Torchwood,” Eloise announced, looking excitedly at her dada. “I want to help aliens.”


I'm not sure that's a good idea,” Ianto told her gently. “or that daddy will agree either.”


I can make the coffee and look after them,” Eloise continued just as Jack walked into the room carrying Dylan in his arms.


We'll have to see when you get big,” Ianto told her with a smile. “you might want to do something else by then, like being a nurse or a vet.”


Would you like me to take Dylan?” Claire asked Jack, getting one of his bottles out of the fridge and popping it into the bottle warmer.


Thanks but I'd like to feed him,” Jack answered, settling himself on one of the kitchen chairs while the bottle warmed. “so, Eloise, what is it you want to do when you're older?”


Work for Torchwood daddy,” she told him with her cutest smile.


And like I told her, we'll talk about it when she gets big,” Ianto told him, hoping he wouldn't pursue the matter.


That sounds like a sensible plan,” Jack agreed, offering Dylan his bottle and feeding him his breakfast. “Claire, how would you like the day off? I was thinking we would spend the day with the kids, rift permitting.”


You know I'll always have my mobile one me, should you need me,” Claire smiled. “I could do with some time to pamper myself a little, that would be great, thanks.”


Then the day is yours, hopefully,” Jack told her. “we can get these little monsters washed and dressed.”


I'll go and shower and dress then, have a good day,” Claire answered and then left the kitchen.


It's a nice day out and by the looks of it it's going to be warm,” Ianto said, getting up to prepare Jack a mug of coffee and glancing out the window. “we could go to the park?”


Are we still not going to school?” Caden asked carefully, just in case they had forgotten a school day.


Yep,” Ianto told him. “the school know you won't be in until Monday.”


Both twins gave yelps of excitement and Ianto told them to go up and start getting ready to go out and then he'd be up to help them in a few minutes.


Once the twins had left the room he picked up the little pot of pills from behind the toaster where he had hid them the night before, popped off the lid and tipped Jack's second dose of the antidepressants into his hand and then offered it to him.


Jack to it and put it in his mouth without question, swallowing it down with a gulp of coffee and then replaced the mug down on the table to lift Dylan over his shoulder to burp him.


No more dreams last night?” Ianto asked, leaning against the edge of the kitchen table beside his husband. “How are you feeling?”


Not that I remember,” Jack answered. “I still feel like I was to scream, shout and kick something hard but much less than I did yesterday.”


Then the pills are working, that's a relief,” Ianto nodded. “I don't want you to forget your family Jack, but I couldn't watch you hurting so badly.”


Nor could the twins, putting them through my emotions wouldn't be fair,” Jack agreed. “It would be bad enough having to get through it myself without the pills.”


Do you think their sensitivity to your emotions will get stronger?” Ianto asked him.


Yeah, as they grow so with that,” Jack sighed. “I think they're telepathic powers between each other are growing too, I noticed that they don't talk much while they are playing before all this happened but they seem to know exactly what each other is thinking or wants.”


That could be very useful for them if one of them ever got into a ... situation when their older,” Ianto mused out loud. “they could get help without anyone knowing.”


Situation?” Jack asked, smiling when Dylan let out a loud burp finally.


You know what boys can be like,” Ianto shrugged. “if one ... well, you know ...”


That's a long way off,” Jack grinned. “but I can see where you're coming from, lets get this one dressed and check on the twins.”


Good idea, letting them dress themselves is never a good option,” Ianto chuckled, following his husband out the kitchen and upstairs where the twins were still in their pyjamas, distracted by a game they had left out in Eloise's room the night before.


Do you want to take Chewie and Princess to the park?” Jack asked, smiling as he watched them, feeling Ianto's arms slide around his waist.


Yeah,” they both yelled in unison.


Then you better get dressed!” Jack exclaimed and then suggested to Ianto. “you help these two and I'll get Dylan sorted.”


I think I got the short straw,” Ianto chuckled, sending Caden off to his own room while he pulled out jeans, a jumper and underwear for Eloise and then went off after his son.

Nice homely, family thing. Good to wind down from all the anxiety. Now don't start ratcheting us up again for another plunge into despair, please. (I like the rollercoaster theme...)I do notice you still haven't put a chapter total on the header...It could still go so veryvery wrong again..

Short straw indeed, poor Ianto having to deal with the twins. Such a sweet domestic scene is loved so much after the events that have taken place so far.

It's good to see Jack reconnecting with his family after all he's been through. Glad to see the pills are working (and that he's taking them) too! :)

He knows he needs to take the pills if he's to ever recover from the ordeal of remembering.

Thank you so much :D

I love this story! SO glad Jack seems to be coping ok so far! But who knows with you evil ways lol!
BTW I think at the end where you say "Ianto chuckled, sending Dylan off to his own room" you mean Caden not Dylan! XD

I'm glad Jack's starting to get better, but he knows he has a ways to go. It'll be good for him to have some family time. :)
