Ianto was woken by soft kisses being peppered along his neck. He smiled, keeping his eyes closed as his lover continued to kiss him softly, gradually moving up his jaw line and towards his lips. He moaned happily, turning over to look at his partner,
"Morning" he smiled, rubbing his eyes.
"Do you know how adorable you are in the morning?" Jack asked, stroking Ianto's cheek with his fingertips. Ianto sighed blissfully, snuggling into Jack's chest and closing his eyes again. Jack laughed quietly, wrapping his arm protectively over the young Welshman. Ianto was just drifting off to sleep again when the phone started to ring shrilly next to the bed. Ianto groaned in frustration, reaching blindly for the phone.
"I'll get it" Jack said, seeing as he had been wide awake anyway,
"It's probably Tosh, she said she was gonna ring this morning" Ianto said, burying his head under the covers. Jack smiled fondly at him before picking up the phone.
"Hello, the gorgeous Mr Jones' phone, his equally handsome boyfriend speaking" Jack grinned as Ianto poked his head out and smirked at him tiredly.
"Well, I'm glad you find my son attractive, but is there any chance I could speak to him, please?" said the woman on the other end of the phone, which was definitely not Tosh.
Jack paled visibly, "I, um.....I mean, I...Yeah, he's right here" he said weakly, holding the phone out to Ianto, who was looking at him confusedly.
"Hello?" Ianto said hesitantly, gasping as he realised who it was.
"Mam, this is a surprise!" he said nervously, "Is something wrong?"
"What, I can't ring my son without there being something wrong?" she said haughtily
"Well, you never have before" Ianto stated, nodding to Jack who silently left the room to give him some privacy.
"Well, I'm glad I did! When were you planning on telling me about this boyfriend, Ianto?"
"Um....I was going to, really, it's just I've been really busy with work"
"Yeah, of course you have!" his mother laughed, "I'm not sure that was the best way to get acquainted with him, I don't even know his bloody name!"
"Jack" Ianto stated, "Jack Harkness"
"What does he do, then?"
"He's..." Ianto sighed, "He's my boss"
There was a pause, then his Mam burst into hysterical laughter. Ianto rolled his eyes and waited patiently for her to get it out of her system.
"Sorry" she finally choked out, "You've got to admit it's funny, you shagging your boss!"
"MAM!" Ianto almost shrieked, "I'd rather not have the conversation about what I do with him"
"Come on, Ianto, I'm not completely old-fashioned" she sighed, "You're 27 now, I know what you get up to"
Ianto chose not to say anything, so his mother carried on.
"So, will I get to meet him anytime soon?"
"Do you want to?" Ianto asked reluctantly
"Of course, I wanna see what he looks like, if he's apparently just as handsome as you!" she teased.
Ianto grinned, "Oh, he is"
"And....you're happy with him?"
"Insanely," Ianto sighed, glancing out into the living room to where Jack was nervously pacing.
"Well, that's all that matters" said his mother, "Anyway, I better be going, I'm meeting Rhiannon for lunch"
"No doubt to talk about this phone call" Ianto muttered.
"Oh, I'm sure we'll have a nice chat about this" she giggled, "Keep in touch, son"
"I will, I promise" Ianto smiled.
"Love you, bye"
"Bye Mam"
Ianto hung up with a sigh of relief. He called Jack back into the bedroom, and watched as Jack hesitantly peeped around the door. Once he saw Ianto was indeed off the phone, he rushed in, jumping on the bed and hugging Ianto fiercely.
"Yan, I'm so sorry, I really thought it would be Tosh, I never would've...I can't believe I called myself gorgeous to your mother!"
"You also called me gorgeous" Ianto pointed out, "She seemed to appreciate that"
"So...she's ok with us?"
"She seems to be" Ianto nodded, "She wants to meet you"
"Do you want me to?" Jack asked,
Ianto sighed, "If you want to, I mean... I would love you to" he admitted.
Jack broke into a grin "I'd love to meet her, Yan, your whole family, for that matter!"
Ianto smiled, patting the space in bed next to him, which Jack gladly occupied.
"Let's not get too carried away, Jack" Ianto smiled, "Maybe we'll just get my Mam and sister out the way first"
"Your sister?"
My Mam's meeting her for lunch today, no doubt to tell her all about your little phone encounter"
"Shit"
"Don't worry" Ianto laughed, "She said she'd love to meet you, seeing as your apparently as gorgeous as I am"
Jack chuckled, "Well, I don't know about that, you're pretty hard to live up to"
"I'm pretty hard to live up to? Have you seen yourself recently?"
"Yep, and I look pretty hot, even if I do say so myself" Jack winked, "But I'm nowhere near as adorable as a certain gorgeous Welshman I share a bed with"
"Ooh, should I be jealous?" Ianto smirked, which caused Jack to hit him with a pillow across the head. The action became a full-blown pillow fight, so all thoughts of meeting the Jones family fell from their heads. Little did they know that the opportunity would come sooner than they thought.
