Chapter Four

"I love Ianto that's all there is to it." Clark said simply.

"What would you parents think?" Lana said snidely, this was not the way things were supposed to be. Clark should be over the moon that she was asking him out on a date.

"Actually they have already adopted him into the family." Clark said grinning. His parents were the greatest the way the accepted Ianto and were so excited about becoming grandparents

A cell phone started to ring and they all turned to Lois as she fumbled through her back and pulling it out. She clicked it open and placed it to her ear.

"Yes, ok I'm on my way. I have to go. I have a job interview." She said with a laugh. "We might end up working together cuz."

Chloe's face fell. "You have an interview at the planet?" That was a disaster waiting to happen she loved her cousin but working with her, that just was not the greatest idea.

"Yes I do." With that Lois ran out of the Talon.

Lana stood staring at them, she was being ignored by Clark. She had to do something.

"Well we have mom's shopping let's head back." Ianto said quickly noticing the look on Lana's face.

"Your mother is here?" Lana asked confused.

"Uh no Clark's, she asked me to call her mom. I'm trying to get used to it." Ianto smiled brightly at her. He had no idea what he had walked into but Clark was his and the quicker she understood that the better.

"Let's go." Clark said standing followed by Chloe and Ianto. The both waved to Lana

"I'll come out with you guys. I'll talk to you later Lana." Chloe said smiling.

They all took a deep breath when they got outside.

"That was the girl you loved in high school?" Ianto asked his face full of disbelief.

"Well we've all changed. I've grown up and met the man of my dreams." Clark said smiling his face full of love as he looked at Ianto.

"It's going to like the Spanish Inquisition when I next see her." Chloe muttered. "So does Ianto know…?" She waved her hands around as they walked towards the truck.

"My origins?" Clark asked laughing.

"I guess that means he does." Chloe grinned

"Chloe get in the truck with us we need to talk. There are a few new things that you need to know."

Chloe climbed out once they got to the farm.

"You're really pregnant." She asked staring at Ianto's stomach waiting to see if she could see something move.

"Yes I really am and yes we are going to be together for a long time." Ianto shrugged his shoulders.

"Well any help you need just let me know. I can do the whole distraction thing." Chloe said laughing. "God Clark you're going to be a parent."

"Thanks Chlo I knew I could count on you." Clark hugged his best friend.

It was a boiling hot day and everyone was heading down to the beach.

"I know a quiet area." Chloe said.

Lana and Lois trying to spend time with Clark. Ianto stood next to Chloe laughing at Clark's attempts to escape.

Clark walked over and grabbed Ianto's hand. "Time to head off right?" He glared at the two of them.

Chloe nodded. "Yeah let's get some rays."

It was only a short drive to the beach, everyone laid out the blankets on the ground. Ianto in his trunks swam out to a floating platform. He sat on it for a few moments. Everything was so different now. His life had completely changed. It wasn't as exciting but he had never been this happy.

He stood up and dived in but he Ianto was still to close to the platform and hit his head hard as he went down.

Chloe and Clark were grinning and watching him, the smiles soon left their faces when Ianto didn't appear.

"IANTO." Clark shouted and ran towards the water but suddenly walking out carrying Ianto was a man.

A tall muscular man who carried Ianto with ease.
