Idris was kneeling as he received a hug from Ton, the little man talking ten to the dozen as he stroked his uncle's whiskery face.
"Is that right Carlton, my good man" Idris said softly, kissing the fingers as he made the wee man squeal.
"Hello Idi" Jack said as Ianto helped him from the Spaceship and Idris looked up to watch Ianto fuss happily with Jack's blanket.
"Come on, lets get you in" Ianto said softly, his arm around his husband as he started to shuffle forward.
"Come on Tonny Bum" Idris scooped the boy up with one arm and the boy squealed as his uncle showed his strength, his other arm going around Jack on the other side from Ianto and together they moved Jack forward.
They got inside and Bets was waiting, the sofa made up and Jack's face lit up as he saw that we was not going to be put out back in the bedroom.
Idris sat by the bed and talked with Jack while Ianto fluffed and sizzled, well .. Jack thought he looked hot and scrummy.
Ianto finally sat and leaned against Jack while the children did what was clearly a poorly thought out play with Grub rampaging, Ton getting grizzly and Bets dropping a bowl of popcorn everywhere, to the delight of the dogs.
Jack was touched.
Tosh and Owen had photos of their renovations to the house and Jack watched Ianto's face as he examined the kitchen, his eyes lingering on the old splash back.
"Wonderful" he finally said as he handed them back and Jack reached out to squeeze his hand.
"Guess what!" Babs said, looking at her Grandy who suddenly looked alarmed and Ianto's eyes narrowed.
"What gorgeous?" Jack asked happily.
"We get to go to the Brit Awards" she crowed, "The series is nomerated as well as Walter. I got a nomeration too!"
"Nomination?" Ianto said with shock.
"Oh! And you!" she said pointing at Ianto, "Guest Staring Role!"
Ianto looked at his father who was clearing his throat as he moved to the edge of his seat, "I was going to tell you Teddy, just waiting for the right time. With everything happening with Jackie we … ah …"
"Oh my god!" Ianto looked at Jack with open horror and then frowned as Jack grinned with glee.
"We all need new clothes for that then!" he gushed, "Oh Babsy, you can get a new dress and Walter can have a wee suit to match, Oh gods, that's crazy!"
"Can we all go or is it limited seats?" Stephen asked softly, his hope barely seen.
"We can each pick a person!" Babs said, "So three people can come. Taddy takes Daddy, I take Papa and Walter can choose you! Tonny would hate the noise and stuff and find it boring but that's OK if he stays home, right?"
"Er …" Eugene knew why Ianto was looking worried and spoke softly.
"It's OK Teddy, I get one as part of the crew's table. Agents can get tickets" he assured him and Ianto visibly relaxed.
His lovely boy, still wanting to please him after all these years.
"Do I want pink … or purple!" Babs muttered, "Oh no. It's too hard!"
"We have time" John assured her, "Well all need new togs baby."
"Oh Papa, I'm so happy!"
