The cabin.
Ianto was worrying about the girls, their little one and his first plane trip as they flew to Bali for the duration and he was checking the time for their phone call while keeping half an eye on Ton as he danced with Badger in the long grass. The large black dog Ton had found in the clearing seemed content as he basked inside by the fire that Jack was feeding with glee.
"Babe?" he called again, "Come on, come sit with me and let me rub your hands."
"Oh! Me hands is it?" Ianto chortled as he walked in and sat next to his husband safe in the knowledge that his older children would lovingly care for the little nutter who was currently controlling them with more power than even Babbit wielded at that age.
"They promised they would ring once they were settled" Jack crooned, knowing baby Impy was on his mind, "The girls will take plenty of photos."
"I know, I just…I worry that those little bather naps I got are too big" Ianto frowned, "I hope they can get more there if they need to."
"Ianto, you all but packed the baby for them. You know they love all the fussing and will come home exhausted looking for free baby minding for the first few days."
"I am so happy that we all live together" Ianto sighed and Jack laughed softly.
"You make it sound like a commune or something" Jack snorted, "The end of the world, we are surviving an apocalypse together, just our friends and family crowded together trying to survive against the Zs."
"Zs?"
"Zombies" Ton said grandly as he wandered past, "You always call Zombies Zs, or if there are a lot of them they are a snarl."
"A snarl" Jack repeated, "That's a good one love."
"Yeah" Ton smiled then wandered back out.
"Babe?"
"Hmmmm?"
"Did he just take the fly spray out there?" Jack asked and Ianto sighed, rising to go see what his son was doing.
"TON!" he roared as Jack adjusted the cushions on the sofa, "Stop spraying that poor old dog! He does not have fleas!"
Jack sniggered softly as he shook his head.
That kid was a bloody nutter.
Gods he loved him so.
