CHRISTMAS SHOPPING,
Ianto stood on the corner waiting for the light to turn green. In his arms he held his three year old son Cooper Owen, They had just spent the morning at the local mall and of course Cooper had wanted to sit on Santa's knee,
As he held the little boy, Ianto listened intently as Cooper chatted on about his visit with Santa. Ianto smiled at his small son and tickled his son's chin, "And did you have Fun today CARIAD?" the little boy nodded and put his head on Ianto's shoulder. Ianto held him close and glanced up at the light which was finally green. He then looked both ways and then across,
Suddenly Cooper looked up and squealed in delight. He pointed to the other corner "Look Tad it's Daddy. Its Daddy." Ianto smiled at the person who had heard the little boy and was grinning from ear to ear that devilish grin that Ianto so loved
Again the little boy repeated his question "Tad do you see him?" Ianto began to cross the street and kissed the little boy's cheek and smiled at him "Yes I do, CARIAD. "
When they got to where Jack stood waiting. He put his arm around Ianto and pulled him close, "Do you have a kiss for Daddy," Ianto grinned as he replied " Are you kidding?" They kissed softly and then Jack took Cooper out of Ianto's tired arms.. Hey Slugger. " And he too tickled his giggling son's chin, the little boy grinned as he spoke "Daddy guess what ! we saw Santa.!" Jack's eyes sparkled as he looked at his young son, "You saw Santa? No way how coool is that." Jack held his son in his one arm and with his free hand he took hold of Ianto's hand, "Did you know I once dated San,,,,," he then felt Ianto's hand give his hand a squeeze and a warning look that said "Don't you dare ." he looked back at the child " I mean I sooo wanted to meet Santa, I am soooo jealous ."
"So ." Ianto looked at them both "Whose for hot chocolate?" Jack and Cooper exchanged gleeful glances and then back to Ianto as they both responded Together "Me,"
