Jack stared at Ianto silently as Ianto stepped back and opened his arms wide.
"Here we go … I have fallen in. I am up the duff, a bun in the oven … stuffed. Get it?" Ianto demanded, "She wants me to step back so I do not get in danger, so I do not die. A death kills the baby, right? Decay would kill the baby."
Jack sat heavily in the rocking chair, his feet still planted as he looked up at Ianto "you… really… I mean… really?"
"Yes. I was not sure, felt something was not quite right but the moment Godi smelt me she knew, she recognised it" Ianto turned to fiddle with some little toys on the dresser "I am with child. Your child."
Jack stood and asked softly "and where do I stand in all of this?"
Ianto leaned back, openly confused "Jack… that is what I am asking you! Do you want to be part of this? Or would you rather I step back into the shadows … this might…"
Anything else Ianto was about to say was lost in the searing kiss as Jack revelled in the news, then he stepped back and whooped, leaping up and down as he pumped the air. Then he stopped and looked at Ianto like that had not all just happened "Like … sure."
Ianto blinked and then laughed as he slapped at him, then let him embrace him as they danced around the room.
Then once they were calm again Jack led Ianto back to the bedroom where he pulled him onto the bed, kissing and petting him as Ianto giggled and slapped at him "Oi, that is what got us into this fix!"
"Fix" Jack said as he kissed Ianto's belly, Ianto resisting him as Jack tried to get to the flesh "This is a fix. A wonderful fix. Our family united, a reason to retreat and hand over the reins to Rex more… yeah. A great fix for the problem of us needing time. We get it now."
"One thing though… I think we need to stop shower sex, I am sure both of our children came from water games!" Ianto muttered into Jack's chest as Jack roared with mirth.
"I am in shock. I mean… shit. What do we do?" Jack started to see the real problem here. Ianto was not Torchwood now, they were working long hours for different people and things were not exactly all roses and sunsets.
"I think we need to tell Her Nibs, then get the lashing" Ianto grimaced, "You know she will either be really happy or…"
"Not amused" Jack groaned, flopping back onto the bed "Right."
"But, that is tomorrow. Tonight we stay here, we enjoy our son and we just take a breath." Ianto reached over to pat that washboard stomach of his mate, then rolled to kiss him.
"Enjoy… just our son? This is a really big bed ya know" Jack muttered and Ianto squealed as they fumbled about and soon Ianto was slapping him away.
"Cut it out. Tonight… if you behave. I mean it about the shower sex though … I really should have thought that one though. You are always so… explosive in the morning" Ianto said as he rose from the bed and Jack started to shriek with mirth, Ianto frowning as he asked him "what?"
"I just got this image of my dick spraying the shower unit like a fire hose. Like Whoooooosh" Jack sniggered "Stand back, he's gonna blow."
"Trust you" Ianto smiled, used to the boyish humour. Missing Owen who would have been trying to one up Jack by now, buying the largest diapers he could find… dummies… you name it to remind Ianto who the real baby was.
"What are you thinking?" Jack asked softly "You are shielding."
Ianto let him see the man sized nursery in his head with Owen chortling as he plants things and Jack smiled softly "Owen. Right. I know. I miss him too. You know, sometimes I swear I hear Toshiko in the mechanisms of things… I miss her analytical mind."
"I considered making Danny's middle name Owen but… I knew he was going to be nothing like an Owen so … no. But a little girl, I would love to call her Toshi." Ianto turned to the mirror to fix the clothing Jack had pulled at like a nutter.
"So… we go to see the big mama tomorrow" Jack agreed as he got up and pulled off his shirt, then he looked around the room "Ah... shirt?"
Ianto walked to his wardrobe and handed over one in Jack's size without talking. Jack looked at him with shock as he recognised it as one from before the end of all things. He stared at it for a moment.
"The laundry… I hadn't picked it up when the kids started talking and we started running. I went back after everything… thought it would be gone but it was still there and.. well. They still had some of your clothes as well as mine. Of course I took them. I knew I was going to have your child and even if I never saw you again … it was all I had for Daniel one day. That and the few things I managed to swipe while UNIT were going through the old Hub."
Jack smiled as he wondered what else Ianto had ferreted away. Right under their noses, he would have loved to have seen Ianto in there walking around those idiots who had no idea that he was Ianto Jones. Right there in plain sight retrieving his things while they all saluted.
"Hoi … I can see that and … well… OK. I did do it like that in plain sight in a UNIT uniform… and… don't do that!" Ianto lsicled.
"What?"
"Do not EVER call her the Big Mama again" Ianto growled "She's the queen for the love of gods!"
Jack sniggered as he said softy "yes but I AM the big daddy!"
"Oh for Godsake."
