"Bodine" Jack said as he languished in the bathtub.

Ianto pretended to consider it as he turned a tap to let more hot into the tub Jack had been in for the last twenty minutes while Ianto finished things out in the bedroom, finally taking off his own clothes before sliding into the water.

Jack pouted until Ianto moved into his arms, leaning back against him so Jack could happily play with Ianto's chest hairs. Jack sighed "I miss chest hair."

"I know, but you look so fucking gorgeous all tan and slicked up like that… a real cross between a porn star and a mercenary." Ianto assured him.

Jack swished the bubbles around a bit, and then reached under them to fiddle with Ianto for a while. He was distracted and Ianto knew he was trying to find a way to speak to him about something. Finally, Ianto knew the best thing to do was ask.

"Is everything OK love?"

Jack hummed, then after a while he said "I had an idea."

"Oh?" Ianto asked with fake surprise.

"Douggie was excited about the babies and … well... we started talking abut a TV show" Jack said and then paused as Ianto tried not to stiffen "What if… what if we do a show based on a young gay couple with twins. We can use our own experiences and…. Ah…."

Ianto was lost here and he tried to work it out "A doco on us"

"No... a TV series. Two fake characters but we use some of our life as a base. Like… I will write a drama slash comedy series. Two gay guys that are starting out. Newly married, suddenly with twins. I was thinking… maybe have a sister die in a tragic accident and they are left with the kids, like… they were named in the will as the ones to have guardianship."

"Sounds good. We gonna have mothers from hell too?"

Jack started to giggle "Look … one. The mother of the one who had the sister… wanted the kids herself?"

"OK… sounds good. All that research and reading is great prep for both real life and the series" Ianto agreed.

"I just need to write the pilot… might not even get picked up. Just… I don't want to do anything for the first few months, I want to be near the babies ya know? This means I can be here and still be actively working." Jack explained. "I know we can live off my royalties for a long time but I worry if I am not creating something, ya know?"

"Well… the Baby and Me classes could help with some ideas too… I am sure some of those first time parents have stories that we will never experience" Ianto agreed. "Some good material there."

"Hershel"

"What?"

"What. I like that one" Jack said with a frown "Hershel Harkness-Jones. Maybe Hershel James Harkness-Jones… HJHJ… yeah?"

Ianto was about to bite when he realized Jack was messing with him and he laughed "Love it. Call the other one Reese… Reese and Hershel."

Ianto knew he had won as Jack struggled for a comeback as Reeses and Hersells candies were a thing. Finally Jack huffed and let Ianto have that one. Ianto let him considerer then said softly "I would like to call one Sean. For my twin brother that died before I even knew him. S. E A N."

"Sean. Like Sean Connery? Nice." Jack said as he considered "And Sean Bean. A hell of an actor too… yeah. A strong name."

"Maybe the second name if it does not suit him for a first… if we have a few names ready then we can see which fits when they are born" Ianto offered, knowing that would please Jack and let some of the NO names on the list to make him think he had a shot.

Did not really take much to please him, little squeezes and happy humming as Jack snuggled into Ianto's neck and they drifted happily.

"You know…" Ianto said after a while "we should enjoy this while we can because you know once these kids are here, we will be lucky to have any shag time at all for a while."

"What? Limited shag time? No!" Jack said as he grabbed Ianto around the middle and Ianto yodelled as the tickling started.

Ianto's shrieking filling the still empty house that would soon be bursting at the seams, the guest bedroom as luxurious as the master… for Owen and Toshiko… so they could be close to the twins for the first few days.

Ianto was a little unsure about this, but Jack had made the offer already and so they were now going to have so much to do, so little time and soon… no time at all.

Ianto just hoped he could survive the next few months until a routine was established.

Without interference.
