A/N Back after a really really long time, I'm sorry about the wait, my Internet broke down completely... But I hope it's sorted now, and my writer's block has eased up (at least for this story), so I've got quite a few new chapters written... But some of them will have to wait, seeing as I'm going to London for the weekend - to see John Barrowman! Am sooo happy and excited! (Anyone else going?) But when I come back, I'll try to update more regularly, thanks for reading! Reviews = love!
ENJOY!
Chapter 16
On Sunday morning, as they woke up, Jack and Ianto lay in bed for a long time, just kissing and looking in each other's eyes. After a while, Myfanwy came in the bedroom, and joined her two masters on the bed, before making it known she had to go out. Ianto volunteered to take her for a run in the park, and Jack planned to make breakfast while they were out.
When Ianto and Myfanwy came back from their walk, Jack's flat was once again filled with wonderful smells; Jack had made an omelette with peppers, toast and a pot of tea, since he knew his coffee could never measure up to Ianto's. They sat down and ate their breakfast in peace, reading the paper and exchanging the occasional kiss. This was exactly what life was supposed to be like, spending a lazy Sunday morning with the person you loved, after an amazing passionate night.
After a while Jack looked at Ianto, and said:
'Ianto, there's something I have to tell you…'
Ianto suddenly felt slightly nervous, what could Jack want to tell him, he looked so serious.
'Ok…'
'Oh, sweetheart, it's nothing to worry about, it's something good! Or at least I hope you'll think so… I don't really know why I haven't told you before, I suppose I just wanted to be a hundred percent certain that this was going to work…'
'Jack, it is going to work! You know practically everything about me, and I love you! I'm sure whatever you're going to tell me, it'll be fine!'
'Ok, here goes… Ianto, twelve years ago, when I was at Uni, I shared a flat with this great girl called Lucia… She was a few years older than me, and studied anthropology… We were the best of friends, and well twelve years ago, Lucia who's gay, asked me to have a child with her…'
Ianto had been taken by surprise by Jack's story, not quite knowing what to say, but he looked at Jack encouragingly, with a small smile on his lips.
'So, I have a daughter, her name's Alice, and she'll be twelve years old soon…She's great, and I'm sure, that if you would like to get to know her, you would hit it of like a house on fire!' Jack said smiling, feeling the silent support from his boyfriend.
'Wow, Jack… I don't quite know what to say, I mean… I'm really happy you wanted to tell me! But how does this work? She hasn't been here, and you've been here for over two months now, do you ever see her?'
'Not enough… She lives with her mother in London, and I get to visit as often as I like… ' Jack smiled melancholically, before continuing, 'But, I am actually going up to London to spend the weekend with her in two weeks, and I was wondering if maybe you'd like to come with me and meet her, if you like to, I mean I don't want you to feel forced into anything…'
Ianto cut off Jack's ramblings with a kiss, 'of course I do! Jack, I really am happy you shared this with me, I love you so much!'
'I love you too, Ianto, you make me so happy!' Jack said happily, returning to his breakfast before spending a relaxed day in the arms of his lover.
