Jack sat against Ianto as Tosh finished writing her reports on her laptop. She smiled as she looked up briefly from her screen and for the first time took in her surroundings. The sun was shining and she was laying on her stomach in a beautifully kept garden typing the monthly report on rift activity in Cardiff. It was certainly much better than the noisy hub. No Owen whinging about something or other or Gwen's incessant moaning about Rhys, no Myfanwy screeching from the upper levels of the hub. She sighed it was too quiet she missed the noise. Glancing to her side she saw Ianto, his hand resting high on Jacks thigh. They were talking in hushed tones. She could see the love in Iantos eyes as he talked to Jack. He looked up and saw Tosh watching them
"Everything alright Tosh?"
"Fine Ianto" she said and pulled herself to a sitting position
"So have you missed us?" asked Jack
"I know I have, can't guarantee the same for Owen or Gwen, all Owen has done since you left is moan that you left me in charge and not him"
"I hope you shut him up," said Jack
"Oh I did, took a leaf out of your book actually"
"Please tell me you didn't throttle him," said Jack
"Of course not, I just forced the hub into a timed lockdown at 3am while he was feeding Myfanwy and left him there until it unlocked when I came in at 8am" she said smiling
"What did he do Tosh?" asked Ianto smiling, the thought of Owen being stuck inside the hub on his own was hysterically funny
"He managed to set of the intruder alarms every single night for the first week you were away," said Tosh
"How?"
"I have no idea, I never figured it out but I knew he was doing it on purpose, you know what he's like he couldn't help but keep suggesting I looked tired and maybe it was too much for me"
"How did you do a timed lock down, the security systems aren't programmed for that" said Jack
"They are now, I wrote a new program," she said laughing
"Toshiko Sato, remind me NEVER to get on the wrong side of you," said Jack
"I'll remind you if ever the need arises" she answered
Jack reached down and picked up his cup, it was empty.
"Anyone for more coffee?" he asked getting up
"Please" said Tosh
"Yan, more tea?" he asked
"Just water please Jack," he said
"You alright?" said Jack his hand immediately going to Iantos forehead, he laughed
"I'm fine Jack, I'm thirsty that's all" he said
"Alright" said Jack and headed back into the kitchen with the empty cups.
Aggie was there preparing dinner.
"Aggie, come and meet Toshiko Sato," said Jack slipping his arm round Aggie
"Jack I need to get dinner underway" she said
"Nonsense Aggie, there's only us here, we can all help with dinner. We were just going to have a drink why don't you come and join us for a few minutes"
"Well alright, could do with a drink" she said
"Good" Jack poured an extra coffee and filled a glass with water for Ianto. He carried the tray of drinks back outside with Aggie.
"Tosh this is Aggie" said Jack
Ianto got up and went to fetch one of the heavy wooden garden chairs for her to sit on
Aggie sat with them for a while and then insisted on going to finish cooking the dinner. She refused to allow Tosh or Ianto to help her.
Jack and Ianto showed Tosh to her room, so she could get washed and changed for dinner.
Jack took Ianto in his arms as soon as their door was closed, although Ianto showed affection in public he was still more relaxed behind closed doors. Ianto stripped Jack of his shirt and ran his hands down his back. Now that Jack no longer had a bandage on his hand he was able to caress Ianto properly. His hands found their way under his t-shirt and pulled it over his head. He kissed Ianto on the lips and slowly made his way down his neck and throat covering him in tiny kisses, his hands touching every inch of Iantos torso
"God I've missed being able to touch you properly Yan" he said as his tongue darted into Iantos belly button making him giggle.
"Don't start something we don't have time to finish before dinner Cariad" said Ianto
"Oh but"
"Jack, lets try and get to dinner on time tonight Aggies gone to a lot of trouble cooking for us" said Ianto puling Jacks head up from the waistband of his jeans to meet his lips
"You promise we can finish this later" said Jack as their lips parted
"I promise Cariad"
"I guess we'd better get changed then," said Jack unzipping his trousers and stepping out of them. Ianto smiled as he watched Jack cross their bedroom and head for the bathroom. As Ianto picked up Jacks trousers and folded them over the back of a chair he heard the shower go on. He stripped off the rest of his clothes and walked into the bathroom. He stepped into the shower behind Jack and wrapped his arms round him kissing his neck.
"Thought you said we can't start anything we couldn't finish," said Jack as Iantos lips moved down his body and took him in his mouth
"Oh I can finish this Jack," said Ianto temporarily removing Jack from his mouth, he gently sucked at him until he was rock hard and screaming Iantos name. Jack came with a loud moan in Iantos throat. He pulled Ianto up from his knees and kissed him.
"I love you so much Jack do you know that," whispered Ianto as their lips parted
"I know Yan and I'll never tire of hearing you say it," said Jack as he lathered Iantos back
After dinner Jack and Ianto took Tosh down to the pub to meet Andrew, Michael and Cassie. Tosh and Cassie hit it off immediately. Jack and Ianto asked Andrew and Michael if they would be their witnesses for the union.
"We'd love to, but surely your friend would like to sign as a witness," said Michael
Jack looked across at Tosh, they hadn't thought of her.
"But we need 2 witnesses" said Ianto
"You met Drew first, so why not Drew and your friend Toshiko" said Michael
"Are you sure you don't mind Michael" said Ianto
"Of course not, its only a signature on a piece of paper but I'm sure to Toshio it would mean much more than that" he said
Jack nodded and slipped an arm round Ianto
"You're right thanks Michael"
"Have you managed to write your vows yet?" said Andrew
"I have but Jack is having a few problems"
"Only because you won't let me say what I want to" said Jack, teasing Ianto
"That's because you cannot tell a complete stranger that you want to 'screw me stupid' Cariad" said Ianto laughing
"JACK" said Andrew, "Iantos right you can't possibly say that"
"Even if its true" said Jack truthfully
"Even if its true" said Andrew laughing
