They got home and Jack was waiting, the fire lit and the lights turned down with the sofas pulled together like a large bed.
"Come here my darling" he crooned, scooping Babbit up and gasping at the lovely hair cut, "My god! You look like a fashion model!"
Babbit preened, shaking his head to show how it flapped.
Then Jack saw Walter and looked at a teary Ianto.
"Walt?"
"For my Babbit" Walter said firmly as he headed to his bedroom to change out of his uniform and Stephen did the same.
Ton was in John's arms and John threw him into the sofa bed with a shout of glee. Walter and Stephen ran out to climb into the 'bed' as Babbit hugged them.
Ianto reappeared in black silk PJs, settling in the big bed with a loving look at Jack for his quick thinking.
The two long seats as well as the sofas all joined together to formed a huge area they all fitted in and Babbit was soon in a blissful pile.
"Taddy?"
"Yes my Babbity bum?" Ianto whispered.
"Is it really OK if I wanna be girly?"
"If I tell you a secret, it's just between us, right?" Ianto said softly, as though the others were not there as well.
"Promise Tadda"
"I sometimes … well. I have some dresses in my closet baby" Ianto admitted, "I like to dress pretty for Daddy sometimes."
John had stopped breathing as he lay listening and Jack snorted softly, "I love the red dress."
"Only because you like the corseted waist Cariad" Ianto laughed softly.
"Really?" Babbit was almost frantic as he pulled at Ianto's arm, "You get girly sometimes?"
"Yes." Ianto said, kissing his child and then sliding from the bed. "I'm not a girl inside, but I do like feeling girly sometimes. Sometimes getting girly for a wee while is enough. Daddy makes me feel so pretty."
They watched the Minions Movie as Ianto went to the bedroom claiming a toilet break, laughing and feeling right again, and then the bedroom door opened and Ianto cautiously stepped out.
His beard was gone, his clean shaven face heavily made up and the cascade of blonde curls framed his face. The red corset dress was tightly laced and Ianto wore the four inch heels Jack had purchased him for Christmas.
Babbit sat up and screamed as he watched his Taddy walk like a legend, one hand on his hip and the other swinging daintily.
"Hello there" he said in the bedroom voice that made Jack whine softly, "I'm Esmeralda."
"OH. My. God!" Babbit was out of the bed, walking around his Taddy, "Real stockings?"
Ianto's discomfort was clear as he let them all see him in one of Jack's favorite outfits and only his child's delight kept him standing there to show his solidarity.
"Oh Taddy, you are so pretty!" Babbit gushed, "Oh! Oh! So pretty!"
"Fuck" John whispered as he watched Ianto turn on those heels like a pro.
"Looking only" Jack snarled, "He's mine!"
"Lucky bastard" John said with open awe as Ianto laughed at Babbit's glee.
"I'll tell you what my little chickadee, we'll go on a shopping spree and get lots of pretties, yeah?" Ianto offered.
"And for my Bethy?" Babbit asked, "We can have matching outfits?"
"I don't see why not" Ianto agreed.
"Oh Taddy. I wanna be pretty too."
"You already are" Ianto whispered.
