Ianto was chewing over the old blueprints for the house Jack had built for him and the thought of moving walls had him more than flummoxed as he had loved the entire thing as it was in the first place.
The huge living room at one end … he could turn that into the master bedroom for the couple, the large bedroom that is Ton's could become the baby's room. Hawk would not lose any space except for the living room which he does not use much, mostly when Ton is in there anyway and turning it into a bedroom slash living room loft style apartment thing might work?
"Whatcha doing?" Ton asked as he leaned over to look at Ianto's scribbling and doodles.
"Well… if I turn your living room up there into a bedroom with a couch and TV in one end it … your room you have now can become bubba's room." Ianto said as he tapped his pencil.
"But I like my room."
"I know, but it is not big enough for bubba too."
"Then give it the spare room!"
"Nope, it will be too far away if it cries in the night" Ianto looked up at the large man and smiled "Come on darling. Did you want Hawk in there? Remember?"
"And the baby monitor worked fine" Ton said as he pouted "I don't want to lose my TV spot."
"Oh no… no darling. If I put your bed and stuff this end, the other end can still fit a sofa and the TV and stuff … it will be like a little apartment, even maybe a fridge and stuff since there is already a bench sink … like a little kitchenette? A microwave?" Ianto offered as he tapped the paper.
"Will that all fit? I don't know... I like my room" Ton repeated sullenly and Ianto knew he was going to dig his heels in soon.
"Let's go upstairs and look, you can get your measuring tape" Jack offered from the other side of the table, closing the paper "come on son. Growing a family is all about changes, didn't I build a whole house for mine? I liked the firehouse, and the house at the chalets… but this? This place is so much better right? We didn't know it until we were here and settled, how happy we are? Or would you like your own house? Wanna move out?"
Ton nodded "True. OK, let's measure upstairs Dad."
Ianto mouthed his gratitude to his husband as he rose and kissed him, letting his hand slide to Jack's waist as he smiled and whispered while patting his arse "Later cowboy."
Jack swaggered upstairs with delight as he knew me might make two family members happy today.
PLUS himself.
