A/N: Okay, so now you find out why Owain's nickname is Oops. I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 14

Christmas Day Pt 3

A.k.a. Why Oops?

Jack left the room, and came back with light snacks, the agreed upon substitute for lunch. He paused in the doorway to watch the scene in front of him. His newest family were laughing at a shared joke. A wave of melancholy caused Jack to frown; he had no idea how long he could stay with this family- his favourite adoptive family, if he was being honest. He knew they would all leave him, even his fiancée would. Sighing, he shook of the depressive thoughts before they utterly destroyed his joy in the day, and he continued into the room. Sitting down next to Ianto after placing the food on the table, he sighed once more. He hadn't managed to shake the huge fear of his future; the future in which Ianto would be gone, and he would have to carry on.

Sensing Jack's mood, Ianto gripped his face gently and kissed him. It took Jack a moment to respond, as he was surprised by the suddenness, but as he did, the kiss grew more and more passionate, until both men could only think of the feelings their lips created together. Jack raised a hand to Ianto's face, stroking his cheek tenderly before reaching to his neck and pulling him in closer.

Their kiss was interrupted by Owain's shout of "Oi, boys, get a room!"

Ianto broke the kiss, and, turning to his baby brother with a raised eyebrow and sardonic tone, said "As it happens, Oops, we have a room. It just so happens that you're in it." He then turned back to Jack and began kissing him once more. The kiss lasted about a minute before the couple had to break apart as their laughter could no longer be restrained. Everyone else joined in, and Owain sat and pouted.

As the laughter died down, Jack frowned slightly before asking "I've been wondering for a while: Why Oops?"

That brought another wave of laughter from Mairwyn, Rhi, Cai and Yan. Owain scowled, Seren and Alistair looked confused, David and Mica shrugged and returned to watching 'Miracle on 34th Street', and Jack pouted for being left out of something obviously amusing.

As the laughter abated once more, Rhi said "Mam and Tad had gone to a funeral in Aberystwyth, and I'd been left in charge as I was 16, so, of course I decided to leave Yan looking after the twins."

"I was 11, and the twins were 6" Ianto injected, receiving a glare from Rhi for his interruption.

"As I was saying, I'd gone out with Johnny, leaving this tall, gangly, mature 11 year old in charge of the terrors."

"So, of course, I took them to the park." Ianto said, receiving an eye roll from Rhi and Cai.

"Oops had a secret hiding place he would sneak off to. It was under one of the slide towers, and the floor above where he was was made of red metal mesh, so he could still see the sky. Anyway, that day, he went straight to his spot and lay down, eyes closed, daydreaming. I'd gone off to the swings- I loved swinging high- and Ianto had gone to sit on the bench with a book."

"One minute I'm reading Jules Verne, and the next there's this shrill scream, followed by high-pitched 'You skanky little bastard, what the fuck are you doing'."

"So of course you went to investigate." Jack said, pleased he was keeping up with the story, before muttering "sorry" as Ianto glared at him for interrupting.

Cai sighed and continued "From where I was swinging, I could hear the stunned 'oops' escape from Owain's lips before he jumped up and ran to Yan. I ran for Yan too, and we met in this big open space in the middle of the playground. Owain said oops again as he realised that to large rugby players were chasing after him."

"Hey, it wasn't so much the rugby players I was worried about; that girl could scream, and I really didn't want to look up at her, well, whatsit again. I swear she wasn't wearing any knickers. It was terrifying!"

This confession left everyone, bar a scowling Owain, wiping tears of laughter from their eyes. Once everyone calmed down, Ianto continued. "So anyway, there we were, scrawny me stood with Owain cowering behind me, mumbling oops over and over, and Cai stood beside him. The boys stopped in front of me, and said 'Move outta that way, titch. We gotta knock some manners into that whimpy brat.' I, of course, rolled my eyes and said 'That 'whimpy brat' happens to be my brother, and a six year old boy. Now, you're what, fifteen/sixteen, and you and I both know that my brother had no intentions of looking up her skirt. Plus, look how bad it would be for you if you beat up a child, in a playground, for playing. I'm pretty sure you'd both end up in a Juvenile Detention Centre until you were eighteen, and your rugby carers would go down the drain. So why don't you back off, and we can ignore this little escapade into child abuse that you both seem extraordinarily excited to pursue.'" Ianto grinned in remembrance. "They shrugged and walked away. Couldn't argue with me; I was to clever for them."

"Yeah, him and that damn eidetic memory." Rhi added, sticking her tongue out childishly.

"Aaaannyway," Cai said with an eye roll, "The girl squealed-quite shrilly, really- before trying to reach round Yan and grab Owain. Yan grabbed her wrist, and, turning, threw her over his hip onto the ground. He was still holding her wrist, and decided to pinch the pressure point before saying in that cold anger voice of his 'Don't you ever dare lay a finger on him.' He then grabbed our hands and marched us home. Owain was still saying oops; I think he was in shock."

"Best bit was, though; the girl was in my year." Rhi stated "Charlotte Elizabeth Williams- no relation to Rhys, before you ask- and yes, she was the biggest slut in our year. Was pregnant at sixteen."

The room filled with laughter as Owain declared 'Well, I'm officially never going to live this down!"

Eventually, Owain joined in, and the family calmed down slightly and continued cracking jokes and telling stories.

A/N: So, I hoped you enjoyed that. I was trying to come up with something embarrassing, and this is all I could think of, well, all I could think of that made Yan into a ninja genius, and to be honest, if you think the scene unlikely, as Yan was, at the time , being abused by his Tad, I'd like to remind you all that it was due to Yan that none of his siblings were physically abused. He stood up for them, so of course he'd do this.

Anyway, rant over *deep breath* I've decided that I'm going to write a completely AU story, but I won't begin posting it until this fic is complete, which will hopefully be within the next few months, although maybe not, as I've got AS exams in January, so...

Thanks again, and please remember to review. TTFN and DFTBA x
