Rem was already in the nest and he excitedly wriggled as his Pop-pop came to join in with his kitty onesie so cute. The two queens climbed in to find the two of them cuddling happily under the large duvet.

"Come on Kittens" Ianto crooned and they hesitantly slid in and soon found themselves blissed out as he crooned and petted until Rem scolded and pretended he was stealing his birds.

Jack arrived home and called out, Ianto squealing from the nest for his Dadda and they watched Jack's face soften as he saw his little boy covered in Kats, "Awwwwww, look. A clouder of pretties. Awwwww. Is there room for a Daddy and his fish n chips?"

Squealing erupted as Jack was dragged in along with his parcel of chips and his boots flew back out followed by his coat, Ianto's hands sliding out to feel around and hook it back in. Jack's laughter and squeals as they tickled filling the house.

Bandit gave a half hearted meow from the sofa and Ianto erupted from the nest to race for his little love, crooning as he carefully carried the old cat back and they slid into the warmth. Jack lay with the feast on his chest, everyone humming as they ate, the Kats enjoying the fish bites as Ianto lovingly crumbled one for Bandit and his poor old teeth. Jack feeding Ianto chips.

"Lovely" Ianto sighed as they all cuddled in, the empty wrapper now on the floor, "So nice. Lovely furry babies all together."

"Yeah" Jack smiled as he rubbed his sweetling's back, "You've missed your babies."

"All grown and gone" Ianto sighed, "Autumn still won't give me one of hers. Not like she's not got enough."

"Now, now" Jack scolded softly, "Would you give Feather to someone else? This reprobate?"

"No!" Ianto said with open horror, "Not MY babies!"

Jack laughed as he pulled Ianto in again and Ianto snuggled for a while then looked up at his lovely man, "Daddy? What's wrong?"

"Hmmm?"

"Worried. Stalling and chewing in something, come on. Tell me" Ianto squeezed him, "What is wrong Cariad?"

"I think I'm pregnant" Jack whispered, waiting for the screams and tantrums but instead Ianto blinked as he stared at him.

"A baby?"

"Been so long since I've been on active duty, so much Hub time now" Jack sighed, "Birth control in the rain, don't get wet. Don't drink water, just what you boil to make coffee and that kills the effects. I've felt it for a wee while, keep thinking I might be wrong. Just imagining it but today I could somell the bouquet of flowers from where I was sitting. Sure sign. Smell."

"So…how do we know for sure?"

"Wow, you are taking this so well" Jack whispered.

"Until I know for sure I am not counting my chickens all in the one basket" Ianto said and Jack saw his excitement under the surface, mixing metaphors. So cute.

"I will ask Owen tomorrow, have been trying but Val is always there and I know he will panic so I need to get Owen alone" Jack admitted, "I want us to have time to let it sink in."

"Wow" a voice said in Jack's ear and he froze ad Rem reached around to hug his Grampy, "Autumn will be the one who goes mental. You know she will want to strap you to a bed and tube feed you."

Jack snorted as he accepted the hug and he wriggled to face Rem, "Secret."

"Of course. I was always the secret keeper, remember?" Rem said with excitement, "But…I know. I know and I want to wet meself!"

"Stop it" Jack smiled as he reached out to rub pretty ears, "You are such a bad boy. My lovely Remmy."

"Oh I've missed you guys so much" Rem cuddled into that big chest and snuggled, "I've been a fool trying to be all grown up and stuff. I've missed being a little boy too. It was like…I got to a stage where I was ashamed to come back, like you had all moved on and there was no spot for me. Silly."

"Ah, Remmy." Jack sighed, "The road home can be the hardest one to travel. I know that, but there is always a spot here for you. You are our boy. Always."

"I …I'm gonna be a Daddy. I want my babies here, I want them to know this life" Rem looked up adoringly as his Pop-pop "I want them to know love."

"Well, for that you have to reconcile with your sister" Jack sighed, "Autumn still hasn't forgiven you for last time."

"Aw, come on, how was I supposed to know he couldn't swim, he told me he could!" Rem pouted.

"You took Autumn's three year old Kit and threw him in the lake to check is he was telling the truth" Ianto's growl was not 'little' and Rem looked up with remorse, "You know the poor wee fella was terrified, hasn't been in the water since. Just because he could dog paddle, didn't mean he could swim the entire bloody lake."

"Awww, to be fair it was only half the lake, he only flew to the middle" Rem protested, then remembered the cardinal rule.

Don't piss off Pop-pop when he's 'little'.

Jack sighed as Rem slumped.

Ianto's growl making the girls giggle.

They loved this funny one already. Like a big cuddle tiger.
