Walter 15 - Ianto's Nest

by Awatere11

With the 3 children all gone into the world except for Ton and Ifan, Ianto is focusing on the next wave of babies and Owen is finding the Mae is responding to Impy and the Monkey even if not to the adults around her. It's time to bring those chicks back to the nest. Ianto feels the fracture of the family keenly and I do love to pull those strings. Don't like - don't read xxxx

The evening meal was quiet, the Captain inviting them to his table which apparently was a big deal and Ianto found himself lumbered with an overtired little heathen who didn't want any food, just a bot-bot.

Ianto kept telling him softly that it was back in the room as he had been eating big people food but Imp was not in the least bit mollified, his anger turning to despair as he informed his Taddy that he was 'starvey' for his botty.

Ton shoved another boiled egg into his mouth that had been a little chicken complete with a comb made from carrot and hummed, reaching for some juice as he watched his Taddy get annoyed.

"I'll go get it" Ton offered like a wonderful big brother, "Do you want the blue one or the orange one buddy."

"Orannnnnnnnnge" Imp wailed, then sniffed and looked at Ton, "Pwease?"

"Well done, good boy" Ton said grandly as he rose, plucked another chicken from his plate and turned to his Taddy, "Tad? You need a cardy or anything?"

Ianto blinked, then tried to stop the gushing that threatened and he managed to politely tell Ton he was fine, just needed his love.

"Ah, well. Lots of that" Ton kissed Ianto's cheek and wandered off humming.

Ianto had no fears for his baby walking around the vessel now knowing he was well known and liked by the crew who were careful of all the special children on board.

"So, we only have one more day, two more sleeps and then home" Jack said to Ianto, "Tonny hasn't been counting has he"

"He is loving it but will be so happy to see his dog. This was so wonderful Jack you really outdid yourself." Ianto said happily, "Thank you Cariad, this was such a wonderful gift, I don't have words. And to include the babies, you know that's the cherry on top."

Jack leaned in for a kiss, Ianto's hand on his thigh squeezing gently and then Ton was back, "Here we are little bro. I put some banana milk in it, you want nana milk?"

"Fank Oooo" Imp said happily, accepting his bottle and settling into Ianto's chest. Ianto crooned as he rocked his little man and saw the little baby he still was when tired, a hand covering his eyes as he sighed and snuggled in.

Their last day tomorrow before the steam for home overnight, Ianto wondered what Jack was planning as he rubbed his hands in that familiar dastardly way he does when he has a scheme afoot.
