Not by a long shot and I have pretty good aim. Love Crumbly, no flamersxxxxx

They arrived home to find Chrys on the sofa with the baby asleep in her chest as she watched TV, Ianto buzzing about with plates of food on the table waiting, "I bet you didn't eat, come on"

"That's right, Daddy was gonna get pizza but then we didn't" Ton agreed as he wrinkled his nose to sniff and then he crowed as the pizza came out of the oven, "Oh Taddy!"

They settled to eat, a plate placed by Chrys who lovingly got a kiss as well as her lump before Ianto settled at the table and watched the children, "So. Harley. You got a ball?"

"TWO!" he screamed, still hyper from the rush of the win, "Purple came with a pinky. Look. I gave the pink one to Nevey."

"That was kind, don't you think Queenie?" Ianto asked and the little girl nodded happily, still excited to have come back to the village with her uncle. "How long are you staying?"

"Idris says we can drop her off tomorrow" Jack said around a mouthful of pizza then gave an apologetic look at his frowning husband.

"I see, wonderful. We can do cupcakes later" Ianto said and the kids all gasped with glee as it meant an afternoon of fun and John slid over to the sofa to cuddle his wife and daughter with satisfaction.

After a while Ianto started to clear the table and the little ones started to jiggle as they knew icing was about to appear when cupcakes appeared from nowhere showing Ianto had already baked them and they had been cooling the whole time.

As they settled for some fun Harley slid from his char and toddled over to help Ianto with some of the play things for the table and Ianto smiled as he let him open the low drawer with their cooking things in there, "Careful now wee Monkey Man, wouldn't do to get stuck again."

Harley snorted with mirth as he pretended to be stuck in the drawer and Ianto laughed, singing the 'happy' song to make him clap.

Jack felt his face go slack as he finally realised how Ton had known to stop the madness and he looked up at the man moving past him to place some icing down in piping bags, "Babe? Ton rang you didn't he."

Ton rolled his eyes, "Don't be a divvy Daddy. Of course I did, I have so many things in my brain box that I couldn't remember the song."

Ianto looked at Jack and grinned as Jack saw that he was not in trouble but still squirming. Ianto wouldn't let them off Scott free for losing the kids for a moment or two.

He would pounce like a little Monkey on a purple ball.
