Good clean-up.

I get the feeling River is going to go mental when she finds out 12 undercut her by giving the rings to Jack, so likely still some family drama to come...probably more than "some" when Owen's scan shows twins (snicker...might even get Jack to faint with that one).

And when Alice comes clean to Stephen about Jack being his Grandfather, (he's handled Torchwood weirdness like a pro so far, so why not) there'll be drama on both sides of the family (though I think with Stephen it won't be so much drama as mad-dog wild abandon because he thinks it's so incredibly cool).

We'll have to work the Bonding in there, but I honestly think it'll have to wait until after the meal, or Ianto's liable to kill someone (do NOT deprive the pregnant Welshman of his meal).

Who knows...maybe a month down the line, Andy will get a big surprise when Kev tells him he's expecting (ooops...did he forget to mention that Bakuu normally have litters of 5...amazing how Kuu's start out so tiny and get so bloody big when they mature).

Hmmm...yeah, I think that'll keep things rolling for a bit. Hehehehehe.

1-Ianto has a pet Kraken?! How does IANTO wind up with all the cool pets?!
2-OMG The-Ianto-Jones-Stare-of-Death-Before-Mayhem-Starts look... Now THAT's how one gets rid of annoying parentals and partner! (Somehow I'm getting a 'visual' of GDL doing this exact look ...)
3-Owen, a shotgun hurts more than a handgun in Ianto's hand. Don't be stupid. You have to help Andy...
4-OOOoooooohhhhh there's gotta be more of that 'talk' between the Doctors, Jack and River over Ianto and the baby...

This whole ride has been too much fun.

So, the Beepa are digested. The Bakuu are gone. And Taddy has wiped everyone's minds of the whole event. Good show.

Now, Jack, officially bring Andy and Rhys into Torchwood. Kev too, I guess. After that, you've got a bonding to prepare for.

…

Right… hang on… um….

…

"So … you are my Granddad?" Stephen asked as he looked up from a file "Like… hundreds of years old?"

"Yes" Jack said with concern, watching his grandson's face light up as Stephen nodded.

"Cool"

He went back to the file like it was no big deal and Alice shrugged, leaning over to read the file too.

"Well ….OK. Cool" Jack said slowly as he stepped away and looked over at the two men in conversation. Kev and Rhys. Rhys was a good man, clear headed and calm. Jack decided to talk to Ianto about that, maybe he would be a good addition to Torchwood, Andy for sure. Kev? Not sure what to do with him. Still a bloody sleeper but… he was sort of… well … nice eye candy if nothing else. Andy was clearly smitten and some extra muscle was never a bad thing.

Jack turned to ask Ianto his opinion only to finally notice that he had slipped off somewhere and he went in search of him, if only to comfort him if he could. It had been a trying day, a very annoying one for Ianto who hated being looked at, talked about and noticed at all really. Ianto liked being a wraith, a wall flower. A Watcher. He could gave the Silence a run for their money he was so good at it.

Jack entered the bunker and accepted that his mate was clearly not there, the place smelt … empty.

He pondered then went to the other place he knew Ianto like to go and that was a back room in the archives deep in the bowels of this place below the standard archives everyone used. Down at the bottom of the stairs a plain red door sat and Jack pushed it open to step into Ianto's room full of books, tat and a comfortable set of mismatched furniture that seemed to work. Ianto was currently standing behind an ugly wing backed chair with his jacket and shirt thrown over the back, his naked chest with that fuzzy hair Jack loves so much getting checked over by Owen.

Huh. He hadn't noticed that one slipping out either.

"Ianto? Are you OK lover?" Jack asked softly as he entered and walked around the chair, his eyes going to the barely there pot belly now able to be seen without the suit to flatten the area. Now Jack could see a life within and he felt such a rush of excitement from it.

"He's fine. I was not going to examine him in the bay with Alice and Stephen there. Rhys would be cool with it but… not in front of the woman and child yeah?" Owen said without looking up, "besides they have trashed the place."

"So?" Ianto asked.

Prefect. Little bottler is perfect. Great heartbeat, everything… hang on. Why do you only have one? Don't your sort have two?" Owen asked.

"Synchronicity. Our hearts beat as one so not even sounding like a murmur unless you listened right here by this rib, there might be a slight echo." Ianto pointed and Owen tried, grinning as he finally heart a slight echo.

"Right, you are fine and I am out of here."

"Thank you Owen" Jack said as he let Owen leave then turned to Ianto as the door slowly closed as if automatic "Right. I wanted to say something to you without other ears too."

"Ah… OK?"

"Ianto … sorry I am so wrapped up in my work. I know it is something you both like and hate in me… my determination. I will try harder OK? But we both know I am a twat prone to twat-like tendencies and you will have to remind me sometimes. Please forgive me and know I will feel horrible each time you do remind me?" Jack pulled him closer, his hands running over his lover's back as he whispered "And can we shag now? A quick one? I really…REALLY.. don't think it is fair that you are half naked and I am not!"

"Jack…" Ianto laughed, letting him kiss him and as Jack lowered Ianto to the sofa he could have sworn the lighting changed to something softer.

Nice room this.

"What do you mean you gave him the rings?" River hissed at her husband(s) with anger "It's too soon. He needs time to think about it and you know it will be an issue if he says no!"

"He wouldn't say no!"

"How do you know that? This is Ianto we are talking about, the one who refuses to even call himself by his given name let alone fly that TARDIS he keeps like a …a…a…storage room!" she waved her arms around and 12 frowned.

"Hey, come on now. He loves his TARDIS and you know it is so much younger than mine. Of course it does not want to travel much and neither does he. Nothing wrong with being a homebody and we have argued this point in at least four different incarnations. If he prefers Ianto to Archivist then ... that is his decision!"

"I agree" 11 nodded "Squishy is more than capable of flying his girl, he chooses not to. Do we not take time out sometimes and let it all burn? He has us to do stuff, he is still so young and now seeded … River. You are hard on our son."

"He has so much potential!" she snapped.

"Your parents wanted everything for you, I never heard Amy scolding you" 11 whispered as 12 made a face in warning that his younger self was now getting close to a smacking.

"The fact is… Jack has the rings. I am sorry you feel it is not fair that our own wedding was not Gallifreyan but I do not think theirs will be either. If I know Jack some Boeshanninan crap will be rolled into it and Sol3 have lovely ceremonies… let's just let them have this time yeah?" 12 soothed and she sighed softly.

Kev chose that moment to wander past and pause to look at them and crook a finger "Woman. Come here, I see flames in your hair. Where did that happen from?"

"I am a redhead. It's the colour of my hair" she said as she let him touch the curls with interest, "Same as Andy's hair is sort of blondish. We have different appearances, not all identical as your kind are. Reliant on smell to tell one another apart must suck, we have individualities that are clearly visible."

"I like that about this place, these species. I like his" Kev hooked a finger at Andy who was passing with Rhys as they headed to the kitchen to sort some food "A good mate. Our spawn will be mighty."

"Oh dear" 11 said softly "He didn't."

"Oh… I think he did" 12 replied as he whipped out his sonic and waved it at Kev "Oooohhhhh boy. Yep. Look at that."

He held the sonic to his younger self's face and they both took a moment to look at one another than the sniggering started "Junior is gonna have a Ferboliddac Cow!"

"Imagine all of them when they start walking?" 12 was giggling "It's going to be like an infestation."

"Don't tell him" 11 grabbed his older self's shoulder "Don't' say. Let's watch. Oooo, it will be…"

"What are you two up to?" River demanded.

"Just saying that it is exciting, children…birth… all that. Maybe we need to stick around and be there… for them." 11 was trying to keep a straight face "Yes?"

12 had a better poker face of course "Yes. Come on River dear. Sweetie, he will need a mother's touch when he starts to get …fatter… his self image is so important to him. Your love and guidance… yes. We need to stick about for this."

"Both of you agreeing like this" she frowned "what are you up to?"

"Nothing" they said as one, wide eyes like two little boys with their fingers in the cookie jar together.

Yes. Kev had eggs and it was gonna be soooo epic when they hatch. Two sets of hands rubbed together and River's eyes narrowed as she caught it, not sure if she liked this or not.

Rule number one.

The Doctor Lies.
