Ianto was horrified.

The family meeting had started normally enough with Ton loudly telling everyone to shut up so he could do the minutes. Yes, he was doing minutes ever since one of the brothers who shall remain nameless but was a bit blonde had forgotten a promise to take Ton with him to town.

Then Jack calmly told everyone that Ianto had been stuck on the floor and the place erupted, Ton roaring that everyone were horrible dogs for mistreating his Taddy, then Imp pointed out he left him too and it was a free for all as Ianto threw his arms up. Sam looked over at him "They are a bit passionate."

"Stop it!" he barked.

Everyone settled with glares at others.

"We agreed that I would not be alone with her. A helper would be about the place and if I needed her lifted up or something it would be done. My hands will not EVER let her down, OK?" Ianto looked around "We don't have a roster or any sort of formal agreement as to who babysits me while I babysit her. You all know I hate that thought and you have all been good at pretending that's not the case but you all forgot. With or without her here, I got stuck and couldn't get up off the floor. She's fine, I wasn't."

"Sorry Taddy" Sam was now feeling bad for going upstairs for a nap even though Ton had been with Ianto when she went up.

"Look! Line! It is done and we will learn from it, OK? Goddess save!" Ianto was fully fuming at Jack now who was more interested in his phone, Sam upset when it was not her fault. Jack didn't catch the glare and leaned back in his chair and consulted his phone.

"Actually, it was Walter's day we do have a roster"

Silence.

Ianto blinked as he told himself to breathe.

"I see. Wow. Do I get a copy? We could pop it on the fridge" Ianto's' voce dripped with sarcasm as he glared around the table.

"Don't be mad Taddy, we all fought over it" Ton said gently, "We all wanted to be with you and it was the only way to get quiet time with you or we would all be here all the time."

"Oh. Really?" Ianto looked shocked.

"Tad, we all love the bug and you. The idea of a day here playing with her and getting fed by you, you really think we didn't fight over whose turn it was?" Walter laughed, "Typical, from feast to famine."

Ianto was touched, his anger dissipating as he looked around at his family and saw it was true.

They all thought that someone else had the prime spot.

Awwwwwwwww.

He was so touched.
