Ginger: Hello world! I'm back! To quote Jack from his return in 'Kiss kiss, bang bang' "Hey Kids! D'ya miss me?" I'm so sorry it took me forever, but between work and horrid writer's block and being sucked into Sherlock and other things, it's been a challenge, but I'm back with our old Torchwood favorites, and the new favorites from the family. It'll take me a while to finish, but I will do my best! For now, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I didn't own Torchwood before, I don't own it now. But I own Kit and Stella!

"Jack! Jack! Time for work!" Ianto called up stairs, trying to get his partner to wake up as he fixed breakfast for the two hyper children running around and laughing at each other. "Alright! Calm down and come eat your breakfast," Ianto told them.

Stella and Chip quickly sat down at the table and began scarfing down their food.

"Slowly! Don't choke." Ianto warned, causing the two to take smaller bites as he finished making lunches.

It was a routine now for Ianto. Every morning he would wake up, get Stella and Chip ready for school, wake Jack, make breakfast, wake Jack again, pack lunches, attempt to get Jack out of bed a third time, send the kids off to school, then go upstairs and toss Jack out of bed and force him into the shower with threats of no kisses or no sex for a week if he didn't comply and then go to work and deal with any alien crisis that arose.

Yup, Ianto loved his life.

"Here's your lunches, Stella, have fun at Russell's and don't forget to finish your project, Chip, don't forget Alice is picking you up so you and Steven can have a sleep over tonight." Ianto said setting their lunches in front of them.

"Yes sir." They both said.

Chip grabbed his bag and looked inside. "What's for om noms today Tad?" he asked excitedly.

"Your favorite sandwich, a bag of crisps and a cherry jelly cup." He said, picking up the dishes, "Alright, now out the door with you two."

"Bye Tad," was the cheerful goodbye as Ianto received hugs and kisses.

"Have a good day and behave yourselves. Chip!" he added as an afterthought knowing the young mixed-breed nephilim enjoyed using his abilities to play pranks.

"Will do Taddy!" Chip called as they ran out the door.

Ianto just shook his head with a smile before washing the dishes and heading upstairs. But he found himself surprised at what he saw.

There was Jack, dressed, but tugging on one end of his braces.

Lana had the other end in her mouth.

"Ianto! Make her let go!" Jack whined.

But instead Ianto just burst out laughing. "And here I thought I'd have to come and wake you up."

"Your cheetah decided she wanted to play tug of war with my braces!" Jack protested. "We've been at this for ten minutes! Lana! Give them back!"

"She used to be my cheetah. Now she's our cheetah. You're the one who insisted on bringing her out here." Ianto pointed out.

"Okay, okay, well our cheetah, won't give me back my braces!" he grunted, tugging harder.

But then Lana gave a hard yank back and there was a loud ripping and snapping sound sending the two competitors flying backwards.

Lana was the first to regain her balance and she strutted over to Jack with her half of the braces in her mouth, a smug look on her face as she stopped, smacked Jack in the face with her tail, and trotted out the bedroom door.

"Are you alright Jack?" Ianto asked, helping him up as he tried not to laugh.

"Yeah, yeah, remind me again why we brought her to Cardiff?" he sighed, tossing his half of the braces into the garbage can.

"Because she makes an interesting pet and you didn't want to get the kids a dog? I don't know Jack." Ianto shrugged, reaching into the top drawer and pulling out a new pair of braces. He handed Jack the braces. "Now come on, time for work."

Jack just sighed and took his braces before snapping them on and following Ianto downstairs.

"So anything interesting supposed to happen today?" he asked as Ianto helped him put on his coat.

"No idea. I'm fine as long as I can finish my sorting in the archives. "

"Three years you've been working on those archives." Jack sighed.

"Well think of how many years you've been tossing stuff in there and give me one good reason why it shouldn't take me three years." Ianto said, glancing at him with a raised brow.

Jack growled and pulled him into a hug. "Not fair! You know I'm terrible at archiving!"

Ianto just laughed. "My point exactly Jack!" He leaned up and kissed Jack on the lips. "Now then, work. Lana!"'

He quickly escaped from Jack's grasp and headed out the door the cheetah following, leaving Jack to lock the door.

"Why is the cheetah coming?" Jack sighed as Ianto opened the back door of the SUV for Lana to hop in.

"It's Tuesday Jack. Lana likes to visit Myfanwy on Tuesday." Ianto said hopping into the drivers seat.

Jack just sighed and shook his head as he jumped into the passenger seat. "The cheetah became friends with the pteranodon….. that just sounds awkward." Jack grumbled.

Ianto just rolled his eyes with a sigh.

"I mean, this really isn't normal." Jack continued as Ianto pulled onto the street.

"Nor is the rest of our lives, why is a predatory cat and a prehistoric flying reptile any stranger?" Ianto asked.

"I don't know, maybe because the two shouldn't ever meet? It's just weird that we take a cheetah to work with us."

"Lana," Ianto said in a commanding tone. "Attack."

Suddenly the SUV was full of Jack's screams as Ianto smiled.

"No! Lana! Stop! That tickles! Stop you insane cat!" Jack howled with laughter as Lana 'attacked' Jack by nuzzling his neck, nibbling on his shoulder and sticking her cold nose in his ear.

Yup, It was just another day for Ianto indeed.
