So sorry about taking so long… I've had a little writers block, but that seems to be okay now… I hope you like this chapter, and I'll look forward to reading the reviews (Yes Diva, that means yours too!) have fun everyone.
Previously on: "Boy next door meets boy next door."
Jack held Ianto close, shuddering as his body pulsed with the aftershocks. "I love you." he whispered.
"Mmm… I love you." Ianto said, nuzzling his nose against Jack's, both falling asleep only minutes later.
Presently on: "Boy next door meets boy next door."
A week passed and soon it was time for Jack and Ianto's birthday party. They had decided it would be easier to have it together, rather than having two separate parties. It was to be held at Ianto's house, so that they didn't need to move Christina from the house. Jack's parents had agreed to that, and had visited Christina, to plan the party.
Jack was in his room changing for the party when he heard a sound, almost like little rocks being thrown at the window. Jack walked over and opened the window and looked out. On the other side was Ianto, standing in his window in nothing but his boxers.
"Ianto you're killing me."
"What? Why?... Oh sorry Cariad, I can go and put some clothes on."
"No it's okay, what's up, you do know that we'll be at your house in about 30 minutes right?"
"Yeah, but I wanted to make sure you got the CD's we talked about with you."
Jack couldn't help but smile at his boyfriend.
"You do know that it wouldn't be the end of the world if I had forgotten, seeing as I live right next door. It would take me 30 seconds to get them."
Ianto blushed a little, he knew all those things, but he also knew that Jack well enough to know that he would forget them if he didn't say anything.
"I should finish getting ready."
Jack grinned at Ianto.
"Why don't you just wear what you're already in?"
"Ha ha Jack, like I would show up for a party in my boxers and nothing else."
"My kind of party."
"I'll see you later Jack."
With that, Ianto closet the curtains and finished getting ready.
-o-
30 minutes later Jack and his parents rang the doorbell, and Ianto went to open.
"Hey Eve, James, Jack. Come on in."
"Thank you Ianto."
"I'm sorry to leave you on your own, but I got to help mom get ready."
"Of course dear, you just direct us to the living room, and we'll start decorating."
Ianto lead them into the living room and got out the decorations, and then left to help his mom.
-o-
20 minutes later Ianto came down the stairs carrying his mom, while yelling to Jack.
"JACK! COULD YOU GET THE WHEELCHAIR."
"SURE IANTO."
Jack came out of the living room with the wheelchair, and smiled at Christina.
"Mrs. Jones, you sure are a sight to behold."
Christina laughed and Ianto was shaking his head while he help his mom into the chair.
"Thank you Jack. You look quite handsome yourself."
"Thank you mam."
"Well let's get decorating."
Ianto wheeled Christina into the living room followed by Jack, who had thought it funny to walk behind Ianto, and pinch his ass making Ianto squeal a few times.
"Jack! Stop that."
"What if I don't want to?"
Ianto just rolled his eyes and kept moving into the room. Christina and Ianto could see that most of the decorations had been put up, while they had been upstairs getting Christina ready, so it didn't take them long to finish decorating the living room.
When they finished putting up the decorations, with an hour to spare before the guests would arrive, Ianto went into the kitchen and made coffee for everyone. While the others drank coffee, Ianto once again entered the kitchen, and started putting chips, cake, candy and everything else you would have at a birthday party, into bowls. After a little while, Jack came into the kitchen.
"Hey Yan, need any help?"
"No Cariad, I'm pretty much done."
"Oh okay, well at least let me help you carry the stuff to the living room."
"Sure, go ahead."
-o-
It wasn't long after everything was on the table before the guests started to arrive. Tosh, Tommy, David and Lizzie, who had been at a sleepover at David's house, were the first to knock on the door.
"Hey Ianto, hey Jack."
"Hey Tosh, hey Tommy, come on in."
Tosh handed each of the guys a gift.
"Happy birthday."
"Thanks Tosh."
Ianto hugged Tosh and then directed them into the living room, where Christina, Eve and James were sitting.
After a few more minutes everyone was there, and the party was at full speed. Jack's dad gave a speech, to both Jack and Ianto, saying that he couldn't believe that Jack was already 18, but that he was glad that Jack was well, and happy with such a fine man like Ianto.
Tommy too, got up and gave a speech, making the announcement that Cassandra was indeed his mom, by ending the speech with "Happy birthday Jack, Happy birthday cousin."
-o-
At 12.30 am people slowly started to head home. Christina had told Tosh, to let David stay, seeing as he and Lizzie had fallen asleep a few hours earlier, while Jack told Tosh and Tommy to stay in his room tonight, as he was staying with Ianto. After everyone had left and the living room was cleaned up a bit, Jack and Ianto went up to Ianto's room, to get ready for bed. Jack had his hand in one of his jeans pocket, holding something in his hand.
"Ianto?"
"Yes Cariad?"
"Would you do something for me?"
"Anything Jack."
Jack took a small box out of his pocket, and opened it.
"Would you make me the happiest man alive, and become my husband?"
"Yes."
"I mean it wouldn't be until after we finish college."
"Yes."
"And if you think it's too soon, I completely understand."
"Yes."
"I just know, that a life without you in it, isn't a life for me."
"Jack!"
"What?"
"I guess I need to say it once more. Yes, I will marry you. My life is nothing without you."
Jack pulled Ianto into a bone crushing hug, before pulling back a bit, and gave Ianto a kiss, full of all the emotions they both were feeling at that moment.
"I love you Ianto Jones!"
"And I love you Jack Harkness!"
THE END
