"Dad? What was Tad like?"
It had been 17 years since Ianto died and Jack was sitting in their apartment with their daughter Ava, who was the spitting image of her Tad. Jack had found himself pregnant two months after Ianto died, and had been devastated that Ianto wasn't there to share the glory of being a parent.
"Your Tad was the most loving and kind man I ever met."
"You keep saying that Dad, but I'm almost 17 now and I want to know everything about him, and about your relationship. You know, when you first met, the first kiss, the first date. Stuff like that."
"Well, let's see."
Jack put his arms around his daughter and got comfortable on the couch before continuing.
"The first time we met was when I was fighting a weevil."
Jack let his memories fly back to the day they first met.

Jack was pushed up against a tree, and jumped back towards the weevil, pushing it away. He took out the weevil spray, but the weevil was too fast and hit him before he could spray the liquid in the weevil's eyes. He fought the weevil, until it knocked him to the ground. Jack luckily managed to roll the weevil around so that he was on top of it. Jack started hitting the weevil until he wasn't on top anymore, the weevil started biting him in the neck, and that's when it happened. A beautiful man, with blue eyes, dark hair, in jeans, a t-shirt and a jacket, came almost out of nowhere and started beating the weevil with a stick. The first time the weevil didn't seem to notice the stick, but the second time and the third time it did. It stopped biting Jack and looked up at the man, before getting up and attacking. Ianto Jones then started fighting the weevil, until Jack jumped on its back and got it on the ground. Jack sprayed the liquid into the weevil's eyes, pulled out a bag, put it over the weevil's head and gave it an anesthetic.
"Thanks."
Ianto leaned up against a tree.
"No thank you. And you are?"
"Jones, Ianto Jones."
Jack hold out is hand.
"Nice to meet you Jones, Ianto Jones. Captain Jack Harkness."
"Lucky escape."
"I had it under control."
"You think so? Looked pretty vicious."
Ianto walked toward Jack with his hand trying to reach his neck, but Jack stepped back.
"You're umm… you were bleeding."
Jack just smiled.
"Had worse from shaving."
Ianto looked at the body lying on the ground.
"Looked like a weevil to me."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
Ianto's head returned to face Jack. Jack watched him for a few seconds before bending down to the body.
"I'll take him from here."
Jack grabbed the weevil and pulled it over his shoulders, before turning to Ianto.
"Thanks for the assistance."
Jack started walking away, while Ianto simply stayed where he was.
"Anytime. By the way! Love the coat."
Jack just kept walking, thinking that he would never see the young man who helped him again.

"So Tad saved you from dying again?"
"Yes he did."
"But you were hurt, Tad didn't imagine that."
"No he didn't. But telling someone that you can't die isn't something you tell someone you just met."
"Yeah I guess that would have surprised Tad a bit if you told him right then and there."
"Yeah I think it would have."
