A five year old Griffin tore around the main hub like a mini tornado, trying his best to squawk up at Myfanwy. She screeched back down at him as she did her daily fly around the hub, she had gotten used to having a small child around the Torchwood Hub and didn't feel threatened.
"Griffin! Stop that! If I wanted noise I would have bought a parrot!" Ianto chuckled, rolling his eyes as his son grinned at him. "Yeah and it would have lasted five minutes with Myfanwy here. Why I said no to the puppy" Jack smirked, appearing as if out of nowhere.
"Daddy!" Griffin beamed, running at Jack and leaping into his arms. Jack instantly swung Griffin and placed him on his right hip where it was more comfortable to hold his wiggly and hyperactive son. "Hello Griff, you been a good boy?" Jack asked, kissing his son's forehead tenderly. "Yep! Always am! Da told me off though" Griffin pouted. The Harkness pout. From the floppy dark hair to the bright blue eyes, he was Jack Harkness's son. There was no denying it.
"Did he now? Well you're going to prove that you're a very good boy since you're going to be a big brother soon" Jack told him with a grin. Ianto rolled his eyes again, "well if he didn't misbe….what? What did you just say?" Ianto asked, blinking at Jack.
Jack chuckled and placed his free hand on his stomach subconsciously. "I'm pregnant. Just found out" he grinned. Ianto continued to blink at him until a grin broke out on his own handsome features. "Really? That's great news!" Ianto grinned, watching Griffin's expression change from confusion to mild annoyance. Jack had noticed the sudden change of expression as well and looked to his son with a raised eyebrow.
"Griffin?" he asked with a small smile tugging at his lips. "Don't want to be a big brother! You'll forget all about me and I wanna be the baby!" he pouted again, big time. Something that made Jack melt and it was impossible for him to fight against. Ianto, however, had gotten used to Jack pulling the Harkness pout and had become immune to it. "We won't forget you and you'll do a brilliant job. In point of fact, you'll be helping me and daddy looking after your baby brother or sister. Which means that you'll get to spend more time with us, especially daddy" he pointed out, watching his son's face as he started to think that out in his head.
After a few moments, Griffin nodded. "'Right" he sighed, turning and resting his head on his dad's shoulder. "Can I tell the others?" he suddenly asked, lifting his head up again and looking into his father's eyes with excitement. "That should be mine and Da's job……" Jack trailed off as he saw the start of a disappointed look from Griffin. "Of course you can! Go on!" Jack nodded, placing him on the floor and pushing him gently towards Gwen's workstation. He raised an eyebrow and Ianto started to chuckle as Griffin turned around and pointed at him. "Phone Doctor! Tell him! Want to see Doc!" Griffin told him before bounding off. Ianto pulled Jack to him and kissed him gently, "oh dear, he takes after you so much. He's got an obsession with The Doctor now, he must be starting where you left off" Ianto teased. Jack laughed lightly and nuzzled into Ianto's neck. "I'll phone him, get him to come and see Griff. He hasn't seen him since the christening…he'll be in for a shock".
