When they got to the dinner table everyone was looking hopefully at them.
Ianto smiled reassuringly at them as Jack pulled his chair out for him and they settled down to eat.
They had taken a few mouthfuls before Hector spoke.
"You two sort out your problem?"
"Yes Heck" Jack answered, "I recognised that I was being an arse and I apologised."
"And I accepted the apology and the fact that I didn't pull him up sooner" Ianto said as he reached lovingly for Jack's hand. "Sorry Cariad. We're both just so tired."
"Oh dear" Betty sighed, "Of course you are sweetheart. So much has happened and this poor wee lamb needs you both in full fighting mode."
"Full fighting mode?" Ianto repeated with wide eyes.
"One of Sean's favourite sayings" she giggled and Ianto smiled, glad she could think of him with happiness.
"What you two need is a night off!" Eugene said as he reached for the gravy. "Why don't the two of you go into the village? There's a film revival on at the hall. They're playing some old black and white silent movies."
"Oh" Ianto sat up with interest, "I love old movies."
"Well, if you think you will be OK with the olds" Jack said to Stephen who nodded.
"I can help look after Babbit with Walt." Stephen said excitedly, "We can all go to bed in my room and watch a DVD."
"See?" Eugene smiled, "The boys will be fine."
Ianto turned to Jack with glee and Jack's heart melted at the same expression he saw on his husband's face as Walter, whenever it was time to go to Legoland.
"Well, Mr Harkness-Jones." Jack smiled, "Would you like to come out with me tonight?"
"Why, Mr Harkness-Jones" Ianto simpered coltishly as he fluttered his eyelids in such a way that Jack had to shift in his seat, "Are you propositioning me?"
"Oh my baby" Jack said softly, "You have no idea how I would like to "proposition" you when you do that."
Ianto grinned and winked, "I know Cariad."
"I'm sorry" Jack said again and Ianto reached out, stroking his face.
"Me too."
They excitedly got ready and after a few kisses, they left the boys to their lovely grandparents.
The old theatre was cold and they enjoyed cuddling under the blanket provided. Old silent images crossed the screen and they laughed at the sideshow antics.
One of the performers had a striking resemblance to Jack and they wondered if he had any circus blood in his family.
Ianto quipped that it certainly explained his drama queen flapping which led to Jack pointing out that Eugene was Ianto's side of the family.
Stolen kisses in the dark and fumbles under the blanket made them both very excited and they knew they wouldn't last until they got to the cottage, pulling into a side road.
Jack knew they couldn't risk a full sexcapade so he slid around the vehicle, pulling Ianto sideways on the passenger seat so his legs were dangling and deep throated him.
The gasps of pleasure in the night air as Ianto haphazardly bucked under Jack's administrations were light and full of laughter as he carded his fingers through Jack's hair.
Finally lulled enough to continue to the cottage, the two men kissed and struggled through the front door.
Neither man saw the flash of the camera.
