Jack frowned as he woke up and found himself alone in his bed. Ianto had been sleeping peacefully beside him when he had woken up an hour ago. Had he really gone back into such a deep sleep that he hadn't heard his younger lover get up? He didn't know that he was that much a deep sleeper but that wasn't the thing that was bugging him. It was the fact that Ianto had gotten up just before eight on a Sunday morning. They always had a little lie in on Sundays before dropping the boys at their Auntie Rhiannon's before heading to the hub. He thought that today would be no different but he was obviously wrong, he just couldn't fathom out why.

Jack was distracted from his thinking as a little face peered around the bedroom door, obviously checking to see if he was awake or not. Jack grinned and patted the bed gently. "Hello Tucker! What are you doing up? Watching cartoons sneaky?" he teased, waiting for his youngest to climb up on the bed.

Tucker was now a healthy three year old, into everything and had just gotten out of the terrible twos, not that he had been extremely awful in them. Jack had a feeling that he would rebel in his teenage years since he was such a bloody well behaved child. It had to come back somewhere and bite him on the ass, it was just Jack's fate.

"Nope! Griffin said not to tell you!" Tucker told him, as he held his arms up to be picked up. "Tell me what Tucker?" Jack asked as he settled his son underneath the covers with him and tucking him in.

"Not tell!" Tucker announced, before miming his mouth shut with his index finger. "Oh come on Tuck!" Jack pouted.

"Don't you dare little bro! Or I'll feed you to Myfanwy!" Griffin warned as he came in a few seconds later. His eldest was now seven years old and starting to shoot up in height now. Jack and Ianto were both amazed at how fast he was growing.

"Won't! Daddy will smack you!" Tucker shot back, sticking his tongue out at his older brother before hiding under the covers, causing Jack to chuckle. "Stop it you two or you'll both have smacked bums. Where's your Da Griffin?" Jack asked, deciding to cut to the chase and ask where the other parent was.

"He's in the kitchen…" Griffin replied before disappearing again and heading down the stairs, apparently towards the kitchen area. Jack looked at Tucker and his son looked back at him. "What was that about then?" Jack asked him. "Mice?" Tucker shrugged. "We don't have mice….oh god. What the hell?" Jack trailed off in amazement as Ianto helped Griffin carry a breakfast tray in.

Ianto placed the tray gently on Jack's lap as he tried to work around Tucker who was getting in the way slightly until Ianto gave him a look and a scold of, 'do you want to get burnt? Out of the way young man' which got him moving.

Jack eyed the breakfast and the two cards that rested on top in confusion. "What have I done to deserve this?" Jack asked, still sounding astonished.

"Mother's day!" Griffin replied as he sat on the other side of Jack who just gaped for a few seconds before spluttering, "What? I'm not a mother!" he protested. Ianto rolled his eyes at that and shrugged, "Well I tend to disagree there. You carried them and gave birth to them that would class you as a mother. So shut up and let them spoil you for the day" Ianto pointed out, giving him a warning look. Don't spoil it for the kids, that was the look and Jack sighed knowing that he would have to go along with it, and it was actually quite touching. To be pampered like this and damn the world, he was the mother. He had quite rightly carried them in pregnancy so what was the problem with the label? It was a label, that was the problem but he quickly pushed that thought away.

"Oi! That's not for you!" Ianto scolded as Tucker stole a piece of toast from Jack's plate. Tucker looked at Ianto wide eyed with the toast almost to his mouth as he was going to take a bite. "Why?" Tucker whined, looking at Jack then at Ianto.

"Because they're your daddy's" Ianto explained patiently. "Hey, its alright Ianto. He's fine to steal my breakfast. So what are we doing today then you two?" Jack asked looking to his eldest then his youngest in turn.

"We were going to go bowling. Though Tucker can't play yet can he Da? Maybe we should do something else" Griffin sighed, disappointed.

"We can go bowling, we can always take Tucker to the movies or something after. Make it fair on both of you. Then we can have a pizza or something, sound good?" Jack suggested.

"That sounds more like the kids' day Jack" Ianto chuckled. "What do you want to do?" he added.

"Ok, we'll do the things that I mentioned but there's something that I want to do, if your Da allows it that is" Jack smiled, looking at Ianto with a twinkle in his blue eyes.

"If your sentence is going to end in roof, then no Jack. The boys are still too young to be taken up on the roof. Oh alright then, just for an hour though, I don't want them getting cold" Ianto caved as he had six pairs of eyes looking at him in disappointment.

"You're an absolute gem Ianto Jones. Right, who's going to help me with my breakfast then?" Jack grinned as Ianto sat on the bed as well. "We will!" Griffin grinned back. "Alright, then you two are having a wash, change into clean clothes and then we're going. The others have the hub under control" Ianto ordered.
