The Time For Giving Chapter 13
TWTWTW
The boys came down after almost 45 minutes, their baskets loaded with chocolates and goodies. Each had a smile on their faces.
Danny and Jon left their baskets with Jack, while Bobbie gave his toi Gwen.
"Doesn't he trust you, Rhys?" Joked Owen.
"Hah bloody hah!" said Rhys, giving Owen the evil eye.
The girls laughed.
The rest of the evening went well, and at 7pm, the guests went home.
Danny and Jon were so exhausted, they didn't need any coaxing to go to bed.
Jack and Ianto sat on the sofa together, Jack with his arms around the younger man.
"I can't believe it's going to happen in two days," said Ianto, leaning up to kiss Jack.
"Is it too soon to start decorating another room?"
Ianto grinned. "Unless we paint it a neutral colour like lemon or pale green, yes." Ianto shifted position. "Besides, we have to wait a see if Gwen gets pregnant."
"I have no doubts about that," said Jack, confidently.
"You know I wasn't very sexually active before you, don't you?"
"Yes."
"Lisa was my first."
"And I'll be your last." Added Jack.
"Yes you will," smiled Ianto.
Jack put the TV on and they watched a DVD, before turning in for the night.
They didn't make love, they held just each other.

The Harkness-Jones family spent New Years Day at home together. The weather was bright, but cold. They spent their time playing games on the Play Station and watching DVD's. Jack and Ianto shared the cooking chores and spent time with the boys.
Ianto did cold meat, mash potatoes and peas for lunch. Jack made pancakes with syrup.
After lunch, the boys played in their room, while Jack and Ianto looked at the spare bedroom.
Jack wrapped his arms around his husband pulling him back against his chest. They stood there like that for about ten minutes, then went back down to the living room and Ianto made coffee.
"You know, I'm kinda looking forward to having a baby in the house." Jack said, sipping his coffee.
"You are?"
Jack nodded. "Yep. Seeing you bill and coo. Talking baby talk. It will be so cute!" He laughed.
Ianto elbowed him.
"Watch it! This coffee is too good to spill all over the carpet."
By 4pm, the boys had tired of playing in their room, and had joined their dads in the living room. Ianto looked through the TV Guide and put a film on for them. 'Ice Age'.
"I love this one!" said Jon, all excited.
"It's about animals who find a baby," said Danny, looking at Jack.
"Really?"
Danny nodded.. "Yep."
Tea consisted of sandwiches, jelly and fruit. The boys, big and small, lapped it up.
After the film, Ianto took the boys up for a bath. He put them in together and played with them until they were bored and wanted to get out.
Going back downstairs, Jack read them a story before both he and Ianto took them to their bedroom and tucked them in for the night.
"Sweet dreams," said Ianto, kissing them both.
Jack did the same, then they turned off the light and stood in the doorway, looking at their two little treasures.
Jack looked at Ianto, a tear fell down the young man's face.
"Yan?"
"Don't mind me. I'm just happy, that's all."
They put their arms around each other's waists and went back downstairs.
Jack poured two glasses of whisky and they sat together in total silence.
