"So?" Jack asked as he rocked the little boy in his arms, watching Ianto stuff clothes into the laundry bag, "You decided?"
"I can do a trial, see how it goes I guess" Ianto nodded as he glanced up at him, "Maybe a couple days a week, Quinn wouldn't mind that. Don't want him to pine."
"I love you" Jack blurted, then cleared his throat, "I meant to say … that sounds good."
Ianto snorted, "Silly man."
"You think you can fit any more treasures, last island tomorrow" Jack glanced at the bags already heaving with stuff for everyone, even the staff.
"Oh gods no love" Ianto snorted, "I was sort of thinking of sitting this last one out. Maybe enjoy the deck chairs while we don't have people on board hogging them…actually thinking Bunny might like to sunbathe in that little one piece."
Jack grinned as he straightened up, "Yeah? The red one with the pretty sarong?"
"Yep"
"Lovely, Quinn here will be happy anywhere there is his tablet" Jack yawned, then frowned "Is he too young for that? I worry letting him watch it .. is it bad for his little eyes."
"Not like it's all the time" Ianto soothed, "Parents that don't' make sure their children do other things as well let them down, we let him watch a movie then we play and go see things, his eyes get a rest. Besides, way of the future. One day we will all be in spaceships and they will be born with the ability to text without looking at the buttons."
Jack sighed at the logic, "I think I would be a rubbish space man."
"Because of the farting?"
"Hey! Because I would miss you" Jack grabbed at him as Ianto laughed and slapped him away, then leaned in for a kiss.
"Come on. Bed."
"I am glad you like Ham, not everyone does." Jack said as he snuggled in, a beast in there with them.
"He comes across as a nerd, sort of … clumsy but he has a good heart and a wicked sense of humor once he gets over his shyness" Ianto said softy, "I like them. I think they should come over for a meal when we get back, maybe some plans as couples."
"Yeah?" Jack grinned, "He is a great rider but she is scared of them."
"Perfect" Ianto snorted "We can hide with our margaritas while you men folk go off and ride about … with Mimi of course."
"She's such a little horsewoman, you know…. I have been thinking about teaching her some rodeo stuff. Barrel racing and such" Jack said, then came the long explanation of what he meant and he turned his head to find Ianto asleep, his eyelashes fluttering against his cheekbones as he rested, so handsome.
"Goodnight lover." Jack whispered happily as he tried to follow.
Always.

Elle saw Jack coming with the little boy in the pushchair and tapped Ham's arm "There we are!"
Ham spun and grinned, "Hey missed you today, not shopping?"
"No, we took in some sun" Jack smiled as he turned and a vision was wafting towards them, her gold coloured hair bouncing in large waves about her face, falling below her shoulders to curl around her breasts as those long legs seemed elongated with the four inch heels. The one piece swimsuit was pinched at the waist and the sarong hooked about the hips wafted out like a skirt and Jack called out, "Babe. They were looking for us."
"Well I did tell you to send them a message that we were not going ashore Cariad" the musical voice was soft and velvety, "Silly man."
"Yes love" Jack said enthusiastically as Quinn squealed and reached back.
"Mama"
She knelt, the silk puffing out around her to settle clinging to her and showing the nice arse. "What monster?"
Quinn made a kissy face and she laughed, leaning in to oblige and her hair slid forward, the burn mark on her upper arm it had covered now visible.
"Holy shit balls" Elle said softly, "Ianto?"
"Bunny" Jack corrected, "This is Ianto's other self she is Bunny Rabid the singer. She's internationally renowned ya know. Ham didn't warn ya?"
"Listen to him" Bunny tittered "Should be my agent."
"Wow I forgot" Ham said stupidly, as he stared at those lips now pursed as Bunny checked her lipstick in a compact, "Like…shit balls for sure I thought I had said."
"Well, the less said about my balls the better" Bunny quipped, winking as she added, "And don't even start about me shy willy eh?"
Ham roared with glee as his wife clapped and asked to know is it was true.
"What?" Bunny asked with a cant of her head.
"Do men really like pantyhose or is that a lie?" she demanded.
"Oh golly, they ride up something fierce and damn if your package isn't positioned right that seam cuts into you, damn!" Bunny flapped her hand over her crotch, "Not so much a tuck as a nip"
"Damn. I liked you, now I think I love you" Elle finally said with fake annoyance, "How am I ever gonna quit you?"
"Well, I am addictive" Bunny winked and smiled as laugher in the pushchair showed Quinn agrees, his hands out for another hiss.
Well now.
Cheeky.
OK.
