Ianto walked in to the bedroom with two mugs of hot apple cider and a plate of christmas cookies."Bedtime snack time." Jack clad in pajama bottoms, who was laying on the bed, sat up."ohhh,if you're my bedtime snack , then bring it on . But Ianto, you didn't have to bring cider and cookies too. "
Ianto rolled his eyes "Oh shut up you and move over." he sat the tray down on their night stand and handed Jack one of the cups along with a cookie. Jack eagerly took the cookie and the cup."Oh Coookie" Ianto smiled as he kissed Jack's bare shoulder.
"Did you get Lily settled?" Jack asked as he munched on the cookies. Ianto nodded as he took a sip of cider. "Yeah, Out like a light. What about the two livingroom campers.?" Jack grinned "Both snoring to beat the band under a comforter. You know, T is looking more and more like Tommy every day."
Ianto nodded as he stretched out beside Jack as he sipped at the cider."Yeah its a shame, he will never know his father. Tommy didn't even know Tosh was expecting ," Jack nodded thoughtfully "None of us did." He leaned over Ianto and reached for another cookies stopping only to kiss his husband on the lips "Had to pay the toll." Ianto had to laugh at that. It was then that Ianto noticed the Santa hat on Jack's head.
"Jack I thought we had a rule , only The children and I wear the red in this family." He took out The green Elf hat he had made for Jack last year. Jack pouted as he spoke "But Santa is the boss man. and I am your boss."
Ianto scowled mocklingly " You are only my boss when we are working. Not here at home and You are not the boss in our bed room." He took the santa hat off of Jack's head and replaced it with the other hat. Jack posed "How do I look?" Ianto put on the Santa hat, leaned in and kissed him and gathered his husband in his arms and kissed his chest "Much better. much much better."
Jack smiled and said in a squeaky voice "Hey Santa, whats shaken man.?" He pulled Ianto down to him and kissed him he spoke again."Now Santa," he purred as he stroked Ianto's bare chest." what would Missus Santa Claus say if she saw you and I in bed together." Ianto laughed as Jack nuzzled his neck, He was about to reply when he heard a small cry coming from Lilly's room. "Taddie." Quickly Ianto got up and pulled his shirt back on "She must not be feeling well again."
Jack got up "I'll come with." Ianto looked at him "You don't have to Jack. I can manage." Jack pulled on his shirt and went over to Ianto and took hold of his hand "Ianto, she's my daughter too. So come on the little princess wants us." Ianto smiled,as they walked arm in arm to their daughter's room.
Lily was standing in her crib with her arms out "Taddie, Daddie," she sobbed. Jack reached her scooped her up "shhh its ok. whats the matter little princess? We're here..Taddie and Daddie are here for their special girl shhhhhh," He held her close and kissed her tearstained cheek. Ianto put a gentle hand on her back.
" Would you like some juice my petite Cariad?" The little girl nodded and nestled her head on Jack's shoulder and looked at Ianto with what Jack often discribed as "Ianto's Big Doe eyes." Would you like your Daddy to sing little princess?" Again came a nod, Jack walked over to the rocking chair which stood in the corner. He sat down and began to sing softly.
