One of the stipulations for Jack was that they have a house at each site. One at Holdfast, one at Shangri-la and one here at Fallback.
This one had been made as a log cabin by someone who loved wood with a vengeance and when he had seen it, Jack had gone into raptures. Who was Ianto to deny him, especially when he found how deep the cellar went and how close the rock wall was to a tunnel.
Yep.
Fallback was living up to its name with more than one escape route to the underground tunnels once they had pushed through and Ianto found he quite liked the spiral staircase, even if he had freaked out the first time their baby had tried to get down it.
Even now, Dean was happy to sit on his wee butt and bounce down, Frank copying as Bella refused to go up or down without an adult to carry her.
Afraid of heights that one.
Ianto let his hand slide around the tree trunk that the staircase wrapped around and slowly twisted upwards towards the bedroom that was more of a wardrobe as they slept on the first level when here so their babies could find them in the night without those stairs being a worry for Ianto.
Jack was changing his clothes when Ianto walked in to watch him silently, chewing the inside of his cheek.
"Our wee man OK?" Jack asked and Ianto nodded.
"The 3Ms are in the tunnel house" Ianto answered and Jack turned to speak, finding himself getting lifted and dumped onto the bed as Ianto advanced.
"Holdfast?" Jack squeaked as Ianto snarled and pulled his t-shirt off, descending on him.
There were no words spoken as Ianto crushed their mouths together as well as their bodies, his hard-on straining against Jack's thigh as Jack moaned happily. He squirmed under Ianto as lips swept over his body like Ianto was licking him clean and soon he was panting as he begged silently with his hands for Ianto to finish him.
For delicate, soft hands that denied Ianto's hard work they were strong and he kneaded skin and muscle, making Jack tense and moan as he probed and examined him and their eyes were locked together as they moved in unison.
Panting into each other's mouths as they moved, only a slight widening of Jack's eyes a warning that he was getting close to losing his mind as Ianto teased him.
Ianto slid in and started to pound out a rhythm, his frustration at finding the children like that spurring him on as he growled and leaned in, biting into Jack's neck as he came and he snapped his hips as Jack grunted and clung to him, his mouth wide open as he struggled to pull in air, only to have it forces out with each thrust from his glorious husband.
Gods, it was glorious.
Jack loved the way Ianto took him so savagely sometimes.
As they lay debouched and gasping for air, and soft huffs of laughter, their skin cooled on the spring air and Jack watched goose bumps appearing on his love's skin.
"Like braile" Jack whispered.
"Huh?" Ianto grunted.
"Your skin is covered in Braille" Jack rolled and ran his fingertips over it, "This says you are angry. You are frustrated and satiated as well."
Ianto huffed as he watched Jack's face, so full of love as he brushed his stomach, "This says soon. Maybe. Not yet."
"No Cariad" Ianto reached out and stroked his hair back from his forehead, "Not yet. Maybe later this year, once the harvest is done we can look at that. Yeah?"
Jack looked up with raw hope as he had been denied last year due to the thaw not arriving, "Really? Another? You sure?"
"Yeah" Ianto pulled him up to cover him with his warmth, "Maybe by Christmas I will have fallen again."
Jack nuzzled the neck of his wonderful Welsh Wolfling and hoped it would be so.
A pregnant Ianto over the winter months when he would rest and let others fuss would be best. Lovely and so damned exciting to even dream about. Jack imagined cuddling with him down in the Stronghold, crooning and rubbing a bump as their children celebrated the holiday. The well earned break from work that winter demanded of them.
"Babies, babies everywhere" Jack whispered.
"And not a one to nurse" Ianto laughed as Jack snorted and leaned in to kiss him some more.
"Come on baby" Ianto sighed, "Let's go see how that little boy is doing. We promised a CB radio so they can contact their own family back where they came from."
"How do you feel about it?" Jack asked.
"Hopeful" Ianto thudded. "I feel no fear or worry at their arrival. I wonder if this is the beginning of the new days for us. Somewhere else to barter with, to trade with and maybe an alliance."
"Would be nice to have someone friendly for a change" Jack agreed as he watched his love rise and walk naked to the rack of clothes. "I've had enough nasties."
"Oh I am sure that there are plenty of those Cariad" Ianto sighed, "We will never have a shortage of foes."
Jack flopped back and sighed as he was forced to agree.
