As Ianto woke up he realised that the previous night was a bit of a haze to him, he also realised he was in bed with another body, it was a man, that he could tell by the feel and smell of him. It was only when the man said his name that Ianto remembered who was with him and how it had happened.

"Ianto, are you awake yet?" Jack asked slowly

"yeah, why?" Ianto asked nervously.

"because someone keeps banging on your door and I don't want to get it."

"who is it?" Ianto asked slightly scared.

"She says she's your mum." Jack said with a smile.

As Ianto bounded to his feet putting a pair of pyjama bottoms on from one of his draws, Jack was reaching out to him, and telling him she would go away, But this was Ianto's mam and she never went away.

"I was wondering when you would answer your door." She said as he quickly opened his door for her to come in

"Sorry mum, I just woke up." He told her as she started to make her way into his flat. He heard her say hi to Jack, he turned around so he could see them and hoped to god Jack was dressed, which of course was hoping for too much as Jack was standing in the bedroom doorway stark naked and his hands on his hips.

"Hi Mrs. Jones." Jack greeted as she went past.

"so you're the boss then, you've made Ianto happier here than he was when he was at London," she said, "and put some bloody clothes on boy, you'll catch a cold if you go out like that."

"What do you mean go out?" Jack asked as he started putting his clothes from yesterday back on.

"didn't Ianto tell you I was coming today?" she asked as Ianto went and stood beside Jack, face in an expression with obviously meant he was amused at not remembering to tell Jack this small feat.

"Uh, no he must have forgot." Jack said as he gave Ianto a look.

"oops." Ianto tried to sound innocent

As Jack went into the living room after Ianto's mum, fully dressed now and curious as to where they were going and to how Ianto's mum took to him, Ianto had squeezed past him and went to the kitchen to make some coffee.

"so, where are we going?" Jack asked as he perched himself on the sofa next to Ianto's mum.

"Well, first off you can call me Morag and we are going to go to Ianto's da's birthday party." Morag answered.

It was a few hours later when they climbed into Morag's car and started to drive to where ever this party was being held. They were all silent just listening to the radio until Jack got a call from Tosh, "Jack where are you, there's a weevil sighting down near Splott?" her voice asked.

"Can you not handle this with Gwen and Owen?" He asked through his headset.

"They aren't answering their mobiles."

"Morag, I need to get to work so can you drop me off at the water tower."

"Yeah." Morag said rather disappointed.

"Tosh, I'm on my way to the hub now okay." Jack said into his headset.

"Sure thing Jack, I'll be waiting with the SUV."

"What was that about Jack?" Ianto asked from the front seat.

"Tosh has met on our friends in Splott, and neither Owen or Gwen are answering there mobiles." Jack answered.

"Do you want me to go help."

"If you want and if its okay with your mam."

"Fine, but you'd better see your da in the next week or he'll be spitting." Morag said before Ianto could ask her.

"Thanks mam." Ianto said as they stopped at the Plass and as he stepped out the car he gave his mum a quick kiss on the cheek.

"you owe me Ianto Jones." She replied with a small smile.

It turned out that the weevil had decided to go away as quickly as it came, but they still had to chase it down several alleyways until it managed to escape from them. By the time they got back to the hub Jack had told Tosh to go home and enjoy the rest of the day to herself. Ianto was trying to phone hid mam to ask how his da was, but after the fifth time Jack just picked him up and flung him over his shoulder taking him to bed.

This certainly was better than a birthday party Ianto thought as he started to realise what it was that Jack was up to.
