"Rah!"

Jack couldn't help a chuckle as his youngest daughter attempted a growl at their resident weevil, Janet. The weevil responded by letting out a soft keening noise and nuzzling against the glass where the little girl stood causing Emily to giggle in delight.

"When since have weevils gone rah??" Owen asked in amusement as he came down to join them. He had come down to watch the weevil and child since he found it quite interesting on how Janet became all mother hen at the sight of Jack's and Ianto's children. Though it could all be a façade, he didn't know what she would be like if the glass wasn't between them but Jack and Ianto had pointed out that neither wanted to find out the hard way but Janet's mothering seemed to be genuine.

"You really expect Emily to do a proper growl? She's three years old Owen" Jack replied with a roll of his blue eyes. "Well her vocal chords are still developing, she should be able to reach the deep growl" Owen shrugged. "Are you making that up?" Jack asked with narrowed eyes. "Could be, guess you'll never know" Owen smirked as he crouched down to the little girl with his arms out ready for his daily hug.

"Emily" Owen grinned as the little girl brought her attention to her Uncle Owen and pouted with a shake of her head, making her dark locks bounce against her cheeks. "Want to play with Janet! No hug!" she told him.

Jack was surprised to see that Owen looked hurt at the little girl declining to have a hug with him. "But a hug is about five seconds long Emmy. Please" Owen begged, giving her his best mock pout.

"I want to play with Janet!" Emily told him again, making her lower lip quiver. "You can give your uncle a hug, Janet isn't going anywhere young lady. Now stop misbehaving or I'm taking you back up and giving you to your Da. He'll get you putting brochures in capital order in the information centre as a punishment or scarily a lesson in life" Jack warned her, raising his eyebrows as he spoke. He knew how to handle his youngest, Emily was his little princess and she was all him. Of course, she loved Ianto as much as Jack but she was Jack's daddy's girl and he used it as an advantage when their daughter was being naughty. As much as she didn't want to leave Janet, she hated being parted from Jack even more. One time, Toshiko had babysat her whilst the rest of the team went out on a mission and she had screamed the place down until Jack had returned and swooped her into his arms and made everything better again. It made his role as leader extra hard when he had a small child to take care of but he refused to ask for help and put everything onto Ianto.

Emily looked at her father with wide eyes and whimpered, quickly opening her arms up and hugging Owen with all her might, causing Owen to make a 'whoof' noise as he opened his own arms to accommodate the small child. "That's a girl" he grinned, hugging her back gently. As soon as he let her go again, she was back to the glass again and pressing her little nose against it as Janet crouched down and started to make the soft keening noise once again.

"You'll make that weevil broody Jack. Then where will we be? On the hunt for a male weevil to satisfy her needs and make her a bloody mother" Owen commented with a roll of his eyes and not looking at all enthusiastic about the idea, but scarily Jack did.

"That's not a bad idea. I'll run it by Ianto and see what he thinks" Jack chuckled. "Yeah, I bet he will be delighted since he has to feed the pets and the kids, bringing more pets in would make him the most happiest welshman on the face of the earth!" Owen replied sarcastically.

"Shut up Owen. You can go back up and finish the report that you're taking forever to work on. I'll stay with my daughter" Jack told him as he picked his daughter up and stood in front of Janet's cage. Jack decided to ignore Owen's mutterings knowing that he wasn't saying anything complimentary about him and bounced his daughter gently in his arms. "Do you want to go up baby or watch Janet for a little while?" he asked her, knowing the answer as he daughter excitedly answered, "Janet!!"
