The Tardis had outdone herself and she knew it.

The nursery had appeared the next morning, Lily Rose's adjoining room becoming middle door in the wall as the nursery fitted behind it.

"I still don't understand how she can make walls fit and appear then disappear at will" Ianto enthused as he stroked the wall reverently, "Look. These doors are all side by side so you would expect the rooms to be the same size as this wall but open this one and …"

Ianto made a 'tahdah' noise and looked at the large bathroom. "My perfect bathroom, complete with hot tub bath. God I love this room."

The Tardis hummed with pleasure at the praise.

"Then I open this room …" Ianto took a step the side and reached for the next door handle. Another 'Tahdah' and Ianto grinned at Jack, "Bug's perfect room all pink, shiny and glittery complete with butterfly walls. "

Ianto shut the door and stepped one step further and reached for the third door handle, another 'Tahdah' and he sighed, "A gorgeous nursery. Look at that frieze on the wall. All those aliens all looking so happy and kind."

Ianto enthusiastically kissed the doorframe and the Tardis lights flickered as she blushed. Really. How sweet this wee chickie is.

"Oh Jack" Ianto enthused as he bounced over, "I love this place!"

"Seems that she likes you as well" Jack smiled from the bed, Lily Rose still asleep in the middle.

Jack lifted the blankets to peek. She was on her knees, her wee bum in the air as she sucked her thumb. Jack felt full up and he sniffed.

"Cariad?" Ianto rushed over, "You OK?"

"Yeah" Jack sniffled, "Just so happy and in love."

Ianto grinned as he climbed into the bed and kissed Jack, pushing him back into the pillows.

"Careful hon, buggy sleeping" Jack pointed to the mound and Ianto snorted.

Lily had tried a new fruit at their last stop and it had given her a tummy ache so she had been allowed in the big bed for the night and enjoyed the cocoon of love that was her parentals.

"She's always slept like that. Bum in the air" Ianto giggled.

"You do too" Jack pointed out and Ianto frowned.

"Do I?" he asked with honest surprise.

"Yeah" Jack smiled lovingly, "Not sucking your thumb but you pout instead. Maybe you did suck your thumb as a baby, like her."

"Huh!" Ianto frowned, "That explains why the covers are always so mussed up when I've had a restless night."

"I love you" Jack enthused, so much love it was overflowing.

"Oh Cariad" Ianto stroked his belly, wondering if the wee life knew how loved it was.

The Tardis told it so, just in case it needed to know and also sent strengthening hums, hopeful that this baby would be heathy. For all of them.

Lily Rose snuffled and Jack lifted the covers again to watch as she popped out the thumb and yawned.

A little pop of a fart exploded and Ianto buried his face in Jack's shoulder as a giggle escaped.

"Buggy bum, your butt demons are escaping the dungeon of despair" Jack said as he giggled as well.

Lily opened an eye and looked at them. Another small demon burst into the air and both men chortled.

"I fart!" she tell them as they howled.

"Me big fart of doom!" she sighed and rolled her eyes looking so much like Ianto that Jack wanted to eat her up.

"That's our girl" Ianto coughed as he choked, "The harbinger of doom!"

"Yep" Jack sighed with fake sorrow, "One fart at a time, ending the world as we know it."

Lily didn't know what they were saying and simply let her knees slide until she was on her tummy and she stretched, starfishing across her side of the bed.

"Oh-oh" she said as she looked at them.

"What baby?" Ianto clung to Jack as he waited for what he knew was a clanger given her look of glee.

"My bum buggers coming again!" she growled and a series of machine-gun farts sounded through her nappy.

Ianto rolled off the bed and presented his arse as she had done in the bed as he howled into the floor and Jack shook the bed as he rocked with mirth.

"Oh no" he cried, "They come, they come!"

"Oh-oh" Lily crowed with glee.

She let off a tremendous boom and patted her nappy, "Wow, he big. Not heavy tho!"

"Not heavy, he's a brother" Ianto was hyperventilating as Jack pulled a pillow over his face to scream into.

Lily knelt and looked over the edge of the bed and grinned, "Look out Taddy, coming in!"

"Oh god, I think she means incoming" Jack screamed as she flopped forward and let rip again.

"Oh-oh" they all crowed as the Tardis glowed with happiness at her family.
