Jack watched his sons as they both worked on capturing a weevil, there was a look of pride on his face as well as the protectiveness that was always there for his children. Griffin was sixteen and Tucker was twelve but he would always see them as his babies. Griffin was catching on quick, he had become a very handsome young man and worked well with his younger brother. Tucker, however, was going through his little troublemaking stage which Jack was trying his best to nip in the bud. The last thing he needed was his middle son to go over to the dark side so to speak.
"How're they doing?" Ianto asked, Jack turning to look as he heard the deep welsh accent of his husband, sixteen years they had been married and they were still going strong, just the occasional argument or so but otherwise everything was perfect in the Harkness-Jones household. "They're doing amazingly well….wait, what are you doing up sweetheart?" Jack asked, raising an eyebrow as his gaze rested on his youngest child. In Ianto's arms was the cutest little girl that anyone could come across. She was five years old and a proper daddy's little girl.
Jack had been overprotective over Emily-Rose since day one. Since she had been born premature and the cord around her neck. It was through Owen's quick thinking that he had gotten her out and straight into the incubator. She was the tiniest baby imaginable and Jack had requested that the baby be in his sights at all times, just so he could see that she was going to be alright.
"She was put down for her evening nap but she had a little accident in her bed, so Auntie Gwen is sorting it out for us….and as usual she was missing daddy. You can hold her if we're at a safe distance from Chompy over there…boys be careful!" he called over as they nearly became lunch to the weevil before working together and gaining the upperhand again. Jack nodded and took his daughter into his arms, holding her close to him and kissing her dark hair tenderly.
"Did my baby have a bad dream?" Jack asked softly as Ianto made his way over to sort his two boys out and to bring the weevil down. Emily-Rose looked at her father with big blue eyes and nodded. "Bad! Wanted daddy but you not there!" she pouted. It was getting to the point that all three children could pull off the Harkness pout and Jack fell for it everytime, more so with his youngest. "I was looking after your brothers…I'm sorry, you know daddy loves you and will look after you Emmy" Jack apologised, cuddling her in his arms after tracing her slight trace of a chin dimple. "Me know! Da said you would get me a teddy!" she told him with a little cheeky grin. "Oh did he now?" Jack asked making it loud enough for Ianto to hear before shrugging, "I guess I could get you one tomorrow though and a bowl of ice cream…what you think?" Jack laughed as Emily kissed all over his face in tiny butterfly kisses in response. "Guess that's a yes right?" he chuckled. "Yep yep yep!" she replied, gaining a roll of the eyes from Ianto. "You are not Ducky young lady. Jack get her in the SUV it's freezing out her" he scolded his lover. Jack nodded and started towards the car, and opening the back with his free hand. "Right, let's get you in your car seat" he smiled, already placing her into it. Completely unaware as were Ianto and his two sons that they were being watched in the distance.
