Wick wanted proper PJs like Tadda wore and was trying to make himself heard, his arms pumping along with his legs as he roared and struggled to evade the onesie Jack was trying to force him into.

"Wick, you need to calm down and explain like a sane idiot" Ianto said as he entered with the bottle and the baby glared at him before seeing the bottle and perking up.

SAME

Ianto canted his head as he tried to understand, "Darling, more than one word. I need you to explain."

WANT SAME

Jack was listening intently and caught something of the words, looking at the onesie as he tried to understand the meaning of the bond whisper.

"You want the same what darling?" Ianto crooned, "Just tell me."

CLOTHIES

"Clo…ah. PJs? You want a set of PJs like me and Daddy?" Ianto smiled as he pointed to the dark blue silk PJs Jack wore, then the flannelette ones on himself, "Like clothes?"

"Yeash!"

Jack lit up, "Oh. Did you hear that? Oh clever boy"

Ianto walked over to the dresser and went through it, finding several pairs and as he held them up to see their sizes the baby squealed with glee, pointing.

"Two of the sets would fit" Ianto turned to show the wee beast and the pair with little alien spaceships on got a waggling finger. "Owen?"

Jack laughed, "Definitely Owen."

Confirmed as they walked up to find Owen in his own PJs that were similar and his face lit up as he saw Wick had the pair on to match.

"Here, go to Uncle" Ianto said as he handed the baby to an excited Owen and then turned to face Rhys, "Hello Rhys. Glad you could get the time off. I take it Gwen told you what is happening?"

"Christ almighty" Rhys huffed "I thought she was bullshitting but she's not is she. This place is grand!"

"Right" Ianto turned to Tosh, "We all set?"

"Total lockdown in effect until tomorrow afternoon when one of us might brave the weather for some takeaways."

"I would rather we all hide but I know you need your chippies" Ianto nodded and Owen made a noise.

"Rhys made a huge lasagne" he said gleefully, "At least two meals worth, I am sooo hungry right now actually."

Ianto laughed as Rhys grinned and motioned towards the kitchen. "Hope you don't mind, I popped it in the over to keep warm. Mind, reheated leftovers tomorrow will be yummy too. Maybe with some tatter tots."

"If you don't marry him I will shoot you" Owen said to Gwen seriously and she smiled as she agreed.

"He's a keeper, I know" she nodded.

"Speaking of keepers, someone needs snuggles with his bottie and some sleep" Jack smiled as he watched Owen adjust his hold on the baby, "Owen? Wanna keep him with you while we sort out a nice big bed in the meeting room? We can have a slumber party with the movies on the wall screen."

Owen's eyes bugged as he looked to Tosh and she smiled as she nodded and assured him she could do that.

"Wow. Yeah, come on sweetheart, you and me can have a wee snuggle while they sort out beddies, yeah?" he crooned to the baby and Wick sighed happily as he sucked his bottle against Owen's chest, sniffing him and finding his smell pleasing too.

Pine needles and bubblegum.

Rhys got into the excitement and soon the spare mattresses were dragged up from the lower sleeping levels and the meeting room resembled a large padded cell, something that had Ianto giggling as he tried to make beds then gave up, throwing armfuls of pillows and duvets into the room.

"Wait!" Owen said from the doorway was the sleeping baby a limp rag doll in his arms, "We need a low table too. What about eats?"

"Trust you to think of food" Ianto laughed and a mattress was dragged out, one of the desks had the removable legs taken off to serve as a low table that Tosh looked overly pleased with as she sat at the table making Ianto realise they had created a Japanese style eating table.

Ianto made a mental note to keep that table in there at one end for some traditional Japanese Tea Parties with his friend, her heritage matters too.

Also, his wee man seems smitten as he sat on Owen's lap patting the table affectionately.

Ianto was starting to have fun.
