I beg of you to forgive me for taking so long with updating this fic, but I wasn't happy with what I did for chapter 20 and I lost my inspiration and I was distracted by my crossover fics. Anyway, I redid chapter 20 so I suggest you reread it, in fact I almost insist upon it. But if you don't have the time, I'll tell you. I took out all mentions of Jack having an older brother and sister. Though I like the idea myself, I feel it's too soon to do anything with it. Things were getting entirely too complicated.
That being said, this chapter is really short but it's meant to be. See, I remembered that I decided to make "Not Unbreakable" a collection of short stories. I do have a very interesting idea for a storyline that involves Ianto's maternal grandfather, but I have a lot of planning to do. Please review, tell me your thoughts, I haven't abandoned this fic, I like it too much. I will not take so long with the next update, I promise. In fact until I have the next major storyline written I intend to keep you interested with little blurbs like this one. I ask you though to wish me inspiration.
The following takes place in between chapters 19 and 20.
Ianto paced in front of Cory in the dinning room, this was not a conversation he'd been looking forward to, especially after what the boy had been through.
"Tad, is something wrong? Are you angry with me?"
Ianto kneeled in front of him "What? No, of course not; I'm more worried about you being angry with me. You see, Cory, I have something I need to tell you, something about me and Jack."
Cory cocked his head to one side "What about you and Jack?"
"Well" Ianto gulped "you know how Jack is my boss and my friend, right?"
"Uh huh"
"See, we're a bit more than friends, see, we uh…" Ianto stood up "let me try this again. Cory, there are different kinds of people in the world, different kinds of friends" he tugged at his collar "Cory, are there any girls at school you like?"
Cory blinked "Huh? Tad, what you talking about?"
"Er…"
"Need any help?" Jack stood in the doorway, Rini by his side.
"No" Ianto said flustered "I got this"
Rini giggled and went over to Cory "Our daddies like each other, like Cara Johnson likes Jake Plum"
"Oh" Cory nodded "I knew that"
Jack covered his mouth suppressing a chuckle.
Ianto looked at his son "How did you know that?"
"Well" he shrugged "it's kind of obvious Tad"
"It doesn't bother you?"
"No, why should it?"
Jack put a hand on Ianto's shoulder "See, how hard was that? Cory, I think you might just be smarter than your Tad. I'm gonna have to hire you one day"
Ianto glared at Jack "You will do no such thing"
Again, so sorry for the shortness but I really wanted to update this today. Remember reviews make me happy, and a happy Janto shipper is a productive Janto shipper (especially if she gets enough reviews to make an even 200…not that she deserves it after taking so long to update…)
