Ianto

I got out of the Hub rather easily with Tosh and Gwen keeping Jack and Owen busy. Not that they needed too, since the two were too busy talking. I jumped into my car as soon as I got to it in the car park. I sat in the driver's seat for a second, just to compose myself for a second. I undid my tie and slid it into the bag I had left in my car, undoing the first two buttons of my red shirt. I took my jacket off, folding it and placing it on the back seats, before turning back to face the windscreen and un-tucking my shirt, undoing the buttons on the cuffs of my sleeves and rolling my sleeves up to my elbows. Whenever I visited family, I never wore my suits. Always jeans, a normal t-shirt, a jacket and trainers. This would be a little surprise for them. I buckled my seatbelt and sighed a little. I wondered how long it would take before Jack started calling me, asking why I really left work. I had to get going if I was going to have a chance to talk to Rhiannon and Steffan. So that's what I did. I took my keys out of my trouser pocket, started my car and drove off.

As I sat there, driving to my older sister's house, I couldn't help but wonder...was I really just Jack's 'part-time shag'? Did he see me as that? He probably hadn't thought about it at all, if I was being honest. I tightened my grip on the steering wheel as I willed myself not to think about it. I didn't want to brood when with my older brother and sister. Not to mention my niece and nephew.

I parked outside of Rhiannon's house when I came to it. I turned off the ignition and took the keys out. Opening the door, I slipped out, making sure I locked my car before slipping the keys back into my pocket. As I got closer to the front door of Rhiannon's house, I could hear David and Mica yelling inside. I couldn't help but chuckle to myself. I knocked on the door. All noise stopped for a second, and then suddenly I heard a stampede coming from within. The door flew open to reveal David and Mica.

"Uncle Yan!" they yelled, chuckling themselves at me.

"Hello you two." I laughed.

David stepped back a little as I picked Mica up, carrying her. I ruffled his hair before I closed the door. David turned round and started walking to the kitchen. I placed my left hand on his left shoulder as we walked and I continued to carry Mica. Mica clung to me like it was the end of the world, while David walked so close to me it was unbelievable. Now I know they say I'm their favourite uncle – well, say that to me anyway – and everything, but I would never have expected this. We walked through the door to the kitchen. Rhiannon and Steffan were sitting at the table, both with a mug of...I assumed it was tea. I placed Mica on the ground.

"Hey." I said, smiling.

"Ianto!" Steffan grinned, standing up. "Long time, no see baby bro!"

Steffan took three strides from where he was standing over to me, pulling me into a hug.

"It's good to see you too, Steffan." I chuckled. "How was all the travelling?"

"It was great!" Steffan beamed. "Rome was the last place on my list before coming back here to Cardiff. It was amazing."

"Sounds like it."

"Honestly, if you ever get the chance, you have to go."

"I have a feeling you're going to be saying that a lot about all the places you went to."

"How do you think I feel?" Rhiannon laughed, walking over to us.

Steffan let go of me, only so Rhiannon could pull me in to a tighter hug. I noticed both David and Mica were just standing there giggling to themselves, for no apparent reason.

"How are you?" Rhiannon asked.

"I'm fine, how are you?" I replied.

"Same as always. Now you sit down and I'll make you a cuppa."

Rhiannon let me go, moving towards the kettle. Steffan and I sat down at the table. David and Mica stood there, either side of me. Well, David did...Mica slipped onto my lap. It was nice spending time with my family, especially since I never got to see or speak to them very often.

"David, Mica, why don't you two go upstairs and play, or outside?" Rhiannon said.

"But we wanna stay here with uncle Yan." Mica replied, gripping onto me.

Rhiannon sighed, while Steffan and I laughed.

"How about this." I said. "You two go play for awhile, while I speak to your mam and uncle Steffan and I promise that, at some point before I leave, I will spend some time with you both."

"Promise?" David asked.

"Promise."

"Pinkie?" Mica asked.

Chuckling slightly, I linked both of my little fingers with David and Mica's

"I promise." I told them. "Now go on you two."

The pair of them, finally satisfied, ran out of the kitchen and upstairs to their room. I sat there, shaking my head at the two.

Jack

Tosh and Gwen were hiding something from me, and wherever I looked I couldn't find Ianto anywhere. To be honest, I was worried. No matter how much I pried, Tosh and Gwen weren't telling me anything. So, deciding to take matters into my own hands, when Tosh was...somewhere else, I went over to her desk.

"Jack, what are you doing?" I heard Gwen ask.

"What does it look like?" I asked, as I tapped away at the keyboard.

"Jack?" I heard Tosh ask.

She was at the top of the stairs. I didn't know because I looked up, it was because I heard her walking down them. She was too late when she finally got over to her desk. I had already found where Ianto's car was parked.

"Jack, I don't think that's a good idea." Tosh told me.

"And why not?" I asked.

"Because he left for a reason." Gwen replied.

"Well, another reason. The other being he wanted to spend some time with his family." Tosh added.

"Tough. I need to talk to him." I said, moving towards the stairs to grab the SUV keys from my desk, as well as my coat.

"I don't think now would be a good time." Gwen sighed.

"And why not?!" I demanded, stopping in my tracks and turning around, hands on my hips.

"Ask yourself this. Have you ever talked to Ianto about what you two actually are?" Tosh asked. "There's a reason why he believes what Owen called him."

"Well...no, but..."

"Have you told him that you love him?" Gwen asked.

"No...but..."

"Then there you go. That's why it's not a good idea." Tosh told me.

I stood there mutely for a few moments, not really knowing what to do or say. Why hadn't I told Ianto that I loved him yet? I've had plenty of opportunities, but I hadn't said. Sure, I had wanted to. I guess I just knew that because one day I would lose him, not voicing how I actually felt about the Welshman would spare me from at least a bit of the pain. I knew it was a stupid thought, but I thought it could work. Now I realised that it was just really, really stupid. I ran up the stairs and into my office. I slipped into my grey coat as fast as I could before running back out and down the stairs. I didn't stop as soon as I reached the bottom. I kept running until I reached the invisible lift.

"Jack! What are you doing?" Tosh asked, panicked.

"Going to Ianto." I replied, bluntly. "This needs to be sorted. Now!"

They didn't have time to reply as the lift starting making its way up to the surface. As soon as the lift was locked in place in front of the water tower, I stepped off. I only remembered then that I had forgotten to pick up the keys to the SUV. Looks like I was running there.

Ianto

Steffan, Rhiannon and I talked about practically everything. Steffan told us about the places he visited, showing us the pictures he had brought. And I was right, he kept saying 'you ever get the chance, you have to go'. But then, of course I'd be right, I know everything. Rhiannon told us about everything that had been going on with her, the kids and Johnny since the last time Steffan and I had seen them...which was quite a lot surprisingly. I just told them that work had been keeping me busy, not going into any detail about Torchwood. Of course they asked about the suit, I just shrugged and say it was what I normally wore to work. While I was talking to them and laughing, my phone had gone off three times. It was the same person. Jack.

"Aren't you going to answer it?" Steffan asked, gesturing to my phone that was sitting on the table.

"It's just my boss, it doesn't matter." I replied.

"You sure?" Rhiannon asked, curiously.

"Positive. It's fine."

"Ianto. What happened?" Steffan sighed.

"Nothing."

"Liar. But hey, if you don't want to tell us, don't tell us." Rhiannon shrugged.

There was silence between the three of us then. I stared at the table for a moment, before sitting up properly.

"Maybe I should go see what David and Mica are up to." I said, standing up. "I won't hear the end of it if I don't keep my promise."

Without waiting for either of them to say anything, I walked out of the kitchen and made my way upstairs.

Jack

Three times. Three times I had tried to get a hold of Ianto, but all three he let it go to voicemail. But I wasn't giving up. I would keep ringing him until he answered or until I reached his sister's house. Maybe this time, the fourth time, he would answer. Well, there was only one way to find out. As the phone rang, I slowed down to a walk. It rang and rang and...

"Hello Jack." a Welsh woman's voice greeted me down the phone.

I recognised that voice. I knew who that was. But why did she have Ianto's phone? Where was Ianto?!

"Rhiannon?" I asked, confused.

"Oh, so you do remember my name." Rhiannon laughed. "So, any reason you keep calling our baby brother."

"Our?"

"She means me." a male voice came through the phone. "I'm Steffan, Rhiannon and Ianto's older brother."

"Oh...hi. Now, speaking of, where is Ianto?"

"Upstairs with David and Mica." Rhiannon replied.

"Right, ok... Can you tell him I called and that I really need to talk to him?"

I heard a little muttering on the other end of the line. I waited impatiently for a reply, which didn't take too long.

"Why don't you come on round, Jack?" Rhiannon said.

"Really? You sure?" I asked, a little surprised.

"Sure!" Steffan replied – I could hear the grin. "Everything I've hear about you came from Rhi. Ianto never goes into depth about anything involving friends or work. It's annoying really."

"Um...ok. I'll be there in a few minutes."

"See you then, Jack." Rhiannon said before ending the call.

Well...looked like I was meeting the siblings.
