The beasts were off at school and the Firehouse seems unusually quiet. Babs was still at the village with John. All the noise makers gone. Well all except for Ton whose preschool was closed today due to flooding.

Ianto wondered where the Ton was then heard some noises, hunting down the sound to find Ton in the cupboards of the wet room. After a few moments he left him to it knowing there was nothing he could hurt and he settled on the sofa with a paper he wanted to read for his course.

When Ton came over he was distracted and it wasn't until a little hand was smacking his knee that he looked over at his youngest beast.

Ton stood with his binky in his mouth, chewing furiously and the old front pack in one hand.

"Baby?"

Ton growled and thrust the front-pack at him.

Ianto sighed as he leaned forward to place the paper on the coffee table, "Baby, Taddy's brain isn't working. You have to tell me what you want."

Ton thrust the front-pack at him again, "Baba."

"Ah" Ianto smiled, "You miss the babies? Yeah, I had to leave them there kiddo."

Ton, to Ianto's shock, had a meltdown. He jumped up and down up the spot screaming around the binky with arms failing and tears starting.

"Hey, hey" Ianto held out his arms, "What's wrong little man."

"NO" Ton screamed, his binky flying out to hit the sofa, "I A BABBA!"

Ianto blinked.

Ton was trying to climb into the front-pack and Ianto finally got it, groaning as he face palmed.

"Oh my darling, you wanna be my baby again?" he asked and Ton whimpered as his foot got stuck. Ianto looked back at the weekend and he had spent quite a large chunk baby cuddling. Poor Ton was feeling left out.

Ianto helped Ton into the front-pack and adjusted it, lifting the little boy onto his lap so he could put it on.

Ton reached for the binky, struggling until Ianto handed it over and he plastered himself against Ianto with a growl, furiously chewing on the binky.

"Careful, you'll chew through it" Ianto said softly, "You know it breaks your heart every time."

Ton growled again as Ianto held him and rocked, singing and crooning as he felt the little boy start to relax.

"My poor little Tony wonny piddly diddly bum" Ianto was crooning, "My special, gorgeous, perfect little baby."

Ton had a huge sigh and stopped growling, his little hands tucking between them to clasp together as his face nuzzled into his Taddy's neck.

"My perfect, gorgeous little baby boy" Ianto said softly, rubbing a little back and rocking gently. Then he retrieved the paper and read over his sleeping baby.

After a while Ton shifted in the pack so Ianto rose and started to sort the tea out, little legs dangling down the front of his with a little boy humming happily.

"Wanna piece of carrot?" Ianto asked and a little hand popped out, shooting back in to chew.

Ianto giggled.

"Feeding time at the zoo" he muttered as he got out the Sippy cup and offered some milk.

Ton growled.

Ianto considered and then huffed softly, walking back to the sofa to sit and release the pack so Ton could lay in his arms.

"Does my baba want a drinky-poo?" Ianto asked and Ton wriggled.

Ianto offered the Sippy cup and held it like a bottle, pulling faces and crooning as Ton happily drank.

"Full?" Ianto asked and Ton sighed theatrically.

Ianto rose and got the one of the binkies he had forgotten to take for the twins, the two new binkies now Ton's.

Ton squealed with delight as the new Binky was offered and the chewed remains were spat out into the floor with vigor.

The binky shaped like huge lips was plugged in and Ianto re-attached the pack then walked to a mirror so Ton could laugh at himself.

One happy baby.
