Ianto was sitting with some papers and things on the desk, two large envelopes sitting to one side. One had "Gigga Jen" written in it and the other had "Grammy Daph" written on it. So far, after a few months of deliberation, the women had decided these were the titles they would accept once they both accepted that 'Mama" would not work.
Ianto and Jack had to be decidedly strict on this rule. No 'Mama' titles allowed. No. They could have Granny, grandmamma, grandma, me-maw… this one had horrified them. Ianto had been pleased with the level of horror and had taken the time to tell each woman the wrong thing. He told Daphne that Jennifer was liking Grammy and told Jenny that Daphne had liked Gigga. Sorted. Everyone wins.
Ianto rules LOL
Ianto looked intently at one of the sonogram 3D photos and then wrote on the back of it "Look Gigga, I have Tadda's nose" before slipping it into an envelope. The other one he picked up was already written on "Look Grammy, I have Daddy's chin" and he slid that into the correct envelope. This was like a war room in full swing as Ianto checked the list to make sure each envelope had an equal amount of things in it. The last thing he wanted was one in full melt down as the other posted on-line more than her rival's envelope had.
Why Ianto had yet to let them see the sex of the twins. They were already sharing everything with the tabloids and their social followings as they gushed of their surprise in becoming grandmothers at such a young age. At first he had scolded, yelled and threatened to cut off information but Jack had been the one who caved and remind Ianto that these were their only sources of enjoyment right now.
Yes, Ianto had bitten his tongue as he almost reminded Jack this their … I say… 'THEIR' special time ta muchly. Such a soft touch.
"Ianto?"
Ianto sighed as he rose from the desk, another moment where he bit his tongue as he knew Jack was well aware of the annoyance level he caused in shouting. Ianto hated that. He found Jack in the huge living room looking to at the back yard. "Cariad?"
"Tiger, they are about to break ground for the pool" Jack said excitedly, "I can't find the camera."
Yes. Ianto got his house he wanted and had done so by saying quietly that the pool at the other house was not 'Hollywood' enough for pool parties. Jack had then been allowed to consider the fact that the other house with all that wardrobe space might have ample room out the back of the section to create their own pool area and party spot.
Ianto had even acted surprised and pleased with Jack's idea. Clever man, such a great idea Cariad.
SNORT
Ianto wandered into the nursery to look at the large cot. Jack had originally purchased two and then Ianto had shown him all the pictures of the large cots for twins, telling him when they were bigger they would need their own space but for the first few months they would need one another.
Jack had found that adorable.
Ianto was then surprised to find a cot in their bedroom and been forced to agree that maybe for the first few months they should be closer. He smiled as deep down he had been so touched by Jack's earnest begging. Like he could ever say no.
Toshiko was due any day, totally over it and happy to hand over the bubs. She and Owen were assured Godparent status so they would be in the babies' lives forever. Basically, things looked good so Ianto was more than nervously watching his husband who seemed to be talking to Rhiannon's husband a little too much for his liking.
He got the feeling a movie or something was in the works and once upon a time he knew these things before they were even spoken out loud. To have the feeling that Jack and Douglas were up to something behind his back was not good and the last thing he needed right now when the twins were so close.
Ianto drummed his fingers on the edge of the large crib and considered things knowing he was probably making this harder than it needed to be and if he just let things go a little… It might not be so bad.
Cue a sarcastic snort at himself as he chastised for stupidity.
Right.
Let Jack loose on the world.
Bound to end well.
Right.
The peppermint and crisp white of the room was more to annoy their mothers than anything else as they were both well aware that those little munchkins about to be released into the populous were both little boys. Sweetlings. Two little boys.
Awwwwww.
Names were the only thing they really needed to lock down, finish the arguments over and prepare for this next step in their lives.
The only role Ianto was interested in was being a Taddy.
The role of a lifetime.
