So here's the next chapter for some reason i'm not really fond of this chapter, but enjoy reading.
Ianto woke that morning feeling great he had over thought what Jack had said that he couldn't handle losing more loved ones. He wondered what it meant it sounded sad, but he was happy they finally figured it out and would give it a try. While Ianto was eating his phone buzzed.
Rhiannon had send him a picture of destiny covered in flour and a rolling pin in her hands as she was rolling out some dough.
Baking cookies was the text underneath it.
He smiled for a second thinking about sending the picture to Jack, but he didn't he would just show him late on today. His phone buzzed again.
From Jack to Ianto.
I'm picking you up at five make sure you're ready.
Ianto made sure of it, but it took him quite some time to get ready most of the time he was deciding on what to wear. A suit would make it feel to formal although he felt really comfortable wearing suits as he wore them daily for his work. Jeans and a shirt would just be to simple. Eventually he wore Jeans with a button up shirt. He was just rechecking if he had everything right as the bell rang.
Jack was looking at Ianto speechless for a minute. " You look great. " he said and kissed Ianto. " So are you ready. I booked a table for dinner and after that we have nothing planned yet and can do what we want." He said winking.
They left with Ianto's car as it was smaller and easier to find a parking spot for.
They had fun during dinner telling them about their family and friends. Jack told Ianto about Owen, Gwen, and Toshiko as his friends not that they were his team.
They finished eating and Jack insisted on paying even though Ianto protested. "You have enough to pay for already." Was Jack's answer on it. Ianto didn't have a comeback as he knew what Jack said was right.
He earned enough for sure but there was not that much extra and most of the extra were for savings for Destiny's future.
After paying Jack drove them back to Ianto's place. They sat down at the couch together. "Thanks for dinner it was great." Ianto kissed Jack as a thank you.
"About tomorrow are you still coming with me?" Ianto asked.
"Of course I will. If I can be honest I quite missed Destiny." Ianto loved that Jack got along with Destiny it made things much easier.
"Believe me she missed you to. She's even talking about you to her friends. And I have a feeling she believes we are together." The last bit came out a bit unsure.
"Well at least she won't mind, But you're afraid how she will react if this doesn't work out." Ianto nodded "How about we go on a couple more dates or just hang out and after a month we see how we feel about it. If it's still the same how we feel now about each other or better we tell her. And if it's not working we will explain it together. " Ianto agreed with that as it was a good option.
Time flew as they talked and soon it was midnight. "Jack look at the time, we have to pick up Destiny in eight hours. I won't let you go home only to get a couple of hours of sleep only to come back here early morning. Why don't you stay. I don't have guest room though, but my bed is big enough for both of us." Ianto didn't believe he just said that.
He closed everything of downstairs, and waited for Jack to follow him upstairs. They both undressed themselves till they were only in boxed and got in the bed. Ianto was really tired and quickly started to drift off. "Sweet dreams." Jack said and gave him a kiss and turning to his side to drift off as well.
Ianto woke from the sound of his alarm, but had trouble turning it off as a pair of arms were wrapped around him. He felt Jack shifting as Ianto removed his arms. A good twenty minutes and three alarms later they were both awake. And got ready to go.
Ianto felt at ease in the car with Jack beside him in the passenger seat. They both got out when they arrived at Rhiannon's place. Destiny opened the door and smiled, once she saw her father she hugged him after she let go she saw Jack. While she was hugging him as well he picked her up and they went inside. Ianto got Destiny's stuff they drank something and then they had to leave to be on time at the swimming pool.
They watched the lesson of the girl from behind the glass in the canteen. Destiny seemed to enjoy it Ianto figured that it was a good he had took her swimming before and thought her a bit already. He would see later on how many official lessons she would need, but the lessons for the next coming half year were paid for by Jack.
After the lesson was finished they went back home. Destiny was tired and they didn't have anything more to do as it was a Sunday. Destiny asked if she could watch a movie. She ended up watching the fox and the hound curled up on the couch between her father and Jack. They ended up watching bambi and the lion king as well. Before Jack got a call.
"Jack , there are wheevils all over town and something else as well we need your help." Jack told Gwen he was on his way.
"Sorry Ianto I have to go it's important. See you next time Destiny."
Ianto walked him to the door he could see Jack was in a hurry. Ianto was surprised by Jacks kiss and words.
"I love you. I'll call you later." Jack said in his hurry and left slamming the door shut before either of the two realised what was just said.
Hope you liked it.
