Chapter Three

"Twins?" Jonathan said looking at the very pale Ianto Jones.

Clark looked at his father and nodded.

"How are you doing Ianto?" Martha asked as she rubbed his shoulder.

"I'm not really sure Mrs Kent." Ianto said politely.

"I think you should call Martha or Mom don't you think."

Ianto looked at her and smiled.

"What do you think we should do?" Clark asked his parents.

"Well, while Ianto is not showing that's not too much of a problem so we have a couple of months at least." Martha said.

"Will it affect your business if people find out about Clark and I?" Ianto asked knowing that some people were from the dark ages.

"Well that is their fault." Jonathan muttered. "You are a couple and there is nothing to be ashamed off."

Ianto smiled at his in-laws in a way, he hadn't been close to his mum because of how he let Ianto's father be too rough with him and didn't do anything about it.

"Thank you both." Ianto whispered. "This is going to take a little while to get used to so please be patient."

"Of course Ianto, you've had so much happen to you in such a short time. If you need anything including just someone to talk to come and see me no matter the time." Martha said and smiled as Ianto hugged her tightly.

"So Ianto how do you fancy having a look at Smallville?" Clark said with a grin. He was excited about showing his boyfriend off.

"Are you ready for that?" Ianto asked.

Clark held out his hand. "More than ready and if people can't see how wonderful you are that is their fault." Clark held out his hand and his eyes sparkled with happiness when Ianto took hold of it.

"Boys if you take the truck can you pick up some shopping for me?" Martha asked.

"Of course," Ianto paused, "mom." He tried. Martha smiled at him.

Clark took hold of the list and the two men headed out.

"He seems a nice young man." Jonathan said wrapping an arm around his wife.

"He's going through a lot. I'm glad we can be there for them and the twins." Martha shook her head. "Twins."

Lex and Tosh sat down having a meal.

"Have you heard from Clark or Ianto yet?" Tosh asked, a bit worried that she hadn't heard from her best friend.

"Yes I have." Lex paused. "There is something that I need to tell you."

"What's wrong? Is Ianto ok? What about the baby?" Tosh said quickly.

Lex leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. "Breath Toshiko."

"Sorry." Tosh said embarrassed.

"Ianto's not coming back, the help he needs is over there. It's his best chance of survival. Anytime you want to visit him I'll fly you over ok."

"Oh he's not coming back, but that is going to be the best for the baby." Tosh sighed she was going to miss him so much.

"That was the other thing."

"What is the other thing?" Tosh asked confused.

"It's babies and not baby." Lex said laughing

"Babies?"

"Ianto is having twins."

"Oh my god really." She hugged Lex tightly and kissed him.

Lex wrapped his arms around her and pulled her tightly to him deepening the kiss.

"Ok let's you get a drink water, juice." Clark said as they headed towards the Talon.

"Coffee and lots of it." Ianto muttered.

"Ok one coffee." Clark said with a smile.

Ianto couldn't help but grin. "I know cut down the caffeine."

The two young men walked into the coffee shop. "I spent a lot of time in here." Clark said.

"Why?"

"Well there isn't a lot else to do and Lana worked here."

"Lana, ahh your schoolgirl crush." Ianto said laughing.

"Yeah she was, the girl next door." Clark saw a familiar blonde head. "There's Chloe let me introduce you."

Clark grabbed hold of Ianto's hand and pulled over.

"Clark." Chloe said with a smile. Her eyes brightening as soon as she saw him.

"Aren't you going to introduce me?" The brunette asked, eyeing up Clark.

Chloe turned and grinned. "Sorry Clark this is my cousin Lois."

"Nice to meet you, this is Ianto, my boyfriend." Clark said his face shining with happiness.

Chloe opened and closed her mouth. "Your boyfriend, you're gay." She squeaked.

"Actually the term would be bisexual." Ianto added politely. "It's nice to meet you both."

Lois eyed the other man. "So you're not from around here." She asked Ianto.

Ianto looked at Clark. Chloe noticed the look and realised that Ianto knew of Clark's origins.

"I'm from Wales." Ianto replied.

"You have a wonderful accent Ianto." Chloe said. "Would you care to join us?"

"Yes please do Clark you sit next to me." Lois said.

Clark shrugged his shoulders as he sat down next to Lois and Ianto sat next to Chloe.

Clark looked over and stared at Ianto smiling. Chloe shook her head in amusement watching the two men look at each other. Lois chatting away to Clark who wasn't listening to her.

"Clark you're back." Lana said smiling at him.

Chloe sniggered Lana was her friend but always got everything she wanted. This was going to be interesting.

"Hi Lana, yes I am." Clark said. "This is Ianto, he…"

"Uhh hello Ianto." She said quickly and turned back to Clark. "I was wondering if you wanted to go out, you know catch up."

Ianto looked at Chloe and struggled not to laugh. "Well uhhh." Clark stuttered. "Well we could all meet up and chat." He said to Chloe.

"Oh I was just thinking of just the two of us, you know a date."

Clark opened and closed his mouth how long had he wished she asked him out and when she does he had found the person he was going to love for the rest of his life.

Ianto Jones.

Jack glared at Tosh. "What do you mean he's not coming back?"

"Look Jack if there is something there that is going to make sure Ianto survives having these twins then that is where he will stay." Tosh placed her hands on her hips and glared at him.

"Twins, Ianto's having twins?" Jack asked.

"Lana I'm flattered really but things have changed." Clark said.

"Changed how?" Lana asked Clark had always liked her.

"I'm dating, its serious, very serious." Clark glared at Ianto who was trying not to laugh hysterically.

Chloe had her head on Ianto's shoulder hiding her face. Lois sat with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Who are you dating?" Lana said coolly.

"Ianto." He said a smile appearing on his face.

Lana looked across at Ianto who waved at her. "But he's a guy."

"Yes he is." Clark replied simply.

"Your gay?" She screeched loudly and everyone in the Talon turning to her.
