You will all be pleased to know that I am adopting the attitude of Children of the Earth can go to hell, I am not killing Ianto or sending Jack away, although I may bring Ianto's sister into the story but definitely wont be bringing in Alice and just to warn you I am currently suffering from writer's block so if this chapter is terrible that's why, but I thought I owed you all a chapter. I am also skipping the birth, which went fine and going to when the twins are a month old.
******************************************
"Morning Jack, Ianto, babies", the humour of this greeting had quickly passed and become simply Owen's routine greeting. Jack had set up a nursery in the hub and every member of the team would take turns in looking after Rose, James and Gwen's 7 month Edward.
"Owen can you tell Tosh and Gwen that I want you all in my office?"
"Sure thing Jack." Random morning meetings had become a common occurrence at Torchwood, as they commonly evolved around what the twins had done or how Jack and Ianto should handle something to do with the babies.
Once everyone was in the meeting room and Ianto had made the coffees, Jack launched straight into the meeting.
"Ok Ianto and I have decided to get Rose and James christened and we would like the three of you to be godparents. What do you think?" Everyone agreed and Gwen even decided to give a round of hugs before she went for her babysitting duty and the rest of the team went off to investigate your average everyday alien stuff, very boring. The organisation of the christening was done very quickly as the only guests were the team, Rays, Martha and Ianto sister's family and afterwards they would just go to the pub for drinks.
Jack was inside talking to the vicar whilst Ianto, Rose and James waited for everyone else to arrive. A man with brown hair, wearing a brown overcoat and a pair of white trainers, who looked familiar to Ianto for some reason, was coming towards him a goofy smile on his face. Thankfully, for Ianto, Martha had just shown up behind him.
"Hello you." said the man
"HI, how have you been?" asked Martha
"Good, great even." said the man with high enthusiasm. Ianto gave Martha a pleading look, which she thankfully saw.
"Oh yeah right, Ianto this is the doctor" Ianto smiled in greeting, he had read about the Doctor on the Torchwood 1 database and he knew that Jack had, had dealings with him although he never told Ianto the details.
"Ah yes, so what's the occasion" said the doctor wearing one of his goofy grins.
"A christening." The Doctor the began to talk baby talk to Rose and James, making Ianto feel a little uncomfortable, Martha merely laughed it off.
"Oh boy here's trouble," Jack said as he left the Church and his eyes rested on the Doctor "Whenever you show up it means trouble."
"I disagree I can occasionally stop somewhere and there not be trouble."
"Very occasionally" said Jack with a laugh as he gave the Doctor a hug, "So you coming in for the christening."
"You're getting christened?"
"No, it's mine and Ianto's little angels James and Rose."
"I never thought I'd see the day when Jack Harness was made an honest family man."
"What can I say I'm full of surprises."
"Ah Rhiannon and the kids are here" Ianto said stopping Jack before he could say something embarrassing.
"And there's Tosh and Owen, honesty the amount of times they show up together you don't think" Jack had a glint in his eyes but Ianto simply rolled his eyes and replied,
"Not everyone thinks the same way as you" there was a commanding tone to Ianto's voice stating that he didn't want to go further into the conversation whilst there were children present. Everyone exchanged greetings and the time for the christening arrived with no sign of Gwen. Owen was about to ring her when a car speeded around the corner and as the doors opened the sound of Rhys' complaining could be heard,
"Bloody hell, Gwen you're gonna get us killed driving like that." Gwen quickly got Edward out of the car and ran over to Jack and Ianto,
"Sorry right before we're going to leave this one", Gwen signalled to Edward, "decided to fill his nappy, then I'm half way here and we hit a bloody weevle, don't worry it died on impact hid the body in a sewer", it was only then that Gwen paused for breath and as Jack told her it was fine they all made there way into the Church.
The ceremony was brief and simple, afterwards everyone made their way to Ianto's place as it was decided that it would be easier and cheaper to have a party there. Things passed smoothly with everyone laughing and enjoying themselves. The party ended at seven when Rose and James went to bed and Gwen drove Martha home as she hadn't been drinking, the Doctor went back to his Tardis and Owen walked a very tipsy Tosh home.
