"Toot" Ton yelled as he threw his plush Thomas across the room and then he clapped as it landed right side up.

The phone went and Ton looked at it, then towards the kitchen as he waddled quickly to grab it. "Toot?"

"Is that Thomas being a loud bugger again?" Jack laughed down the phone, "Silly Thomas."

"Dadda" Ton said happily.

"Where's Taddy darling?" Jack asked softly, "Can Daddy see Taddy on the phone?"

"Daddy gone" Ton said sadly, a soft sigh, "Poor Taddy. Squashed and gone."

"Tonny?" Jack's voice was stern now, "Give the phone to Taddy."

"No"

Ton put the phone on the coffee table and reached for Thomas, yelling 'toot' as he repeatedly threw him and then laughed. Jack's voice shouting from the phone. Idris walked through and scooped the child up, eliciting a blood curdling scream as he tipped him upside down and continued outside where Ianto was asleep on the grass with the dogs.

"This one is throwing that toy about again" he told the prone figure and Ianto snorted as he opened his eyes and looked up at him.

Ianto yawned and then grunted as Ton landed on his chest with a growl and proceeded to wriggle onto him.

"Erg" Ianto grunted, his need to pee starting from the pressure.

"Squash!" Ton snarled, his face serious as he wriggled, "I Ton. Squash!"

"Like the Hulk smash?" Gene laughed as he looked over from the garden he was weeding.

"Hulk smash and Ton Squash" Gene said with wonder, "Well, there ya go. A super hero in our family."

"Yeash!" Ton said happily, "I squishy squash my Taddy bugger!"

They were all still laughing as the sound of brakes squealing made Ianto frown as Idris rose with surprise and looked towards the front door.

"Ianto" Jack called out as he closed the front door and shrugged of his coat, moving quickly through the house.

"Cariad?" Ianto said with surprise, "What are you doing home so early?"

Jack kept walking and reached for Ianto's hand, pulling him to his feet and engulfing him in a hug.

"Jack?" Ianto held him, "What's wrong. Did something happen at work?"

"I rang and .." Jack stopped talking, kissing Ianto passionately as the others hooted and clapped.

"Jack" Ianto said dreamily, a goofy smile as he stroked his cheek.

"Ton answered and said you were gone and I panicked" Jack sighed.

"Idris has his phone, Gene has his. You know it's their day to babysit." Ianto giggled, "Did you never think to ring them?"

"Oh god" Jack hugged him tightly again, "I think I'm having a breakdown."

Ianto laughed as he snuggled in and watched Ton 'squash' his uncle Idris. Gene went through to wash his hands and saw the phone sitting on the coffee table, returning it to its recharge cradle. He then got a drink, carrying out water for Ianto who was now in need of the loo.

"Please Jack, I'm busting from all the bloody water" Ianto pushed at him and raced inside.

"He's fine" Idris grunted as Ton lay on him and growled softly to show he was squishing correctly.

"I panicked" Jack sighed, "God, I'm smothering him, I know I am but … god."

"Take the weekend" Gene suggested, "Connor is full time. You can let John take the kids to Bets for the weekend, we'll go too. You two go to a bloody retreat or something. Have some rompey-pompey."

"Rom pom?" a little voice asked.

Idris laughed and wriggled, making the little boy bounce.

Ton squealed and clung to Idris as he enjoyed the ride.

"Oi!" Ianto said as he exited the house, "That was … too suggestive from that point of view."

Everyone laughed and Jack smiled as Ianto went straight to him and let his hand slide to his butt.

"The boys said they would take the kids for the weekend, to the village" Jack said, "So you and I can have a weekend of debauchery."

"Ooooo, will there be sugar free treats?" Ianto said with fake enthusiasm and Idris snorted as Gene laughed openly.
