Recap of Jones family.

Eugene sr (10) and James (12) are together. James is the original Jones.

James was married to Ianto's mum (Elizabeth) but they realised they were not compatible, he also realised he had fallen in love with her brother, Eugene Sr.

Rhia is the daughter of the new husband (Ifan), hence the anger issues and violent tendencies like her dad.

Elizabeth was surrogate for the men with James' sperm to create Eugene Jr … or Genne.

Ifan, then had mumps and became sterile.

James agreed to be sperm donor to create Ianto (After many failed attempts)

After Elizabeth and Ifan died, Eugene sr and James took the two children and raised them as their own, Rhia already in early teens and Ianto a little boy. Adoption changed their surnames to Jones as well.

Idris is the husband or Eugene Jr, who has died.

Martha was adopted and raised by Ianto's aunty Mazy … James's sister.

Walter is legally adopted by Jack and is Harkness-Jones. Noah is only listed as Ianto's, until Jack adopts him as well. Ianto put Harkness-Jones on the birth certificate so his boys would have same name.

Victoria and Carlton are Jack's parents, Gray is his brother.

Chap 23

Jack had begged for a day out and Ianto was so tired after the wedding that he really didn't care.

Noah was safely ensconced in his car seat, a tiny woollen hat covering most of his head and face as he snoozed. Walter had alternated between over exuberance and worry about Noah but Ianto and Jack both reassured him that Noah would be safe and comfortable.

Jack's parents were thrilled to see them and Jack's Mother, Victoria, was delighted to see the children filling in with them. Walter was soon settled with a bowl of ice-cream that had Ianto biting his tongue at the amount of chocolate sauce and Noah was cuddled fiercely to her bosom.

"Such a dainty wee thing" she crooned as Noah blinked back at her.

Jack's father, Carlton, was more interested in Ianto, who had always been quiet and distant. Watching the young man as he fussed over his children, Carlton saw the man his son had fallen in love with.

Ianto laughed and joined the conversation, even doing a fair impression of Rhia in labour as they all howled with laughter.

The older couple both, at times during the day, looked at the portrait of Melissa that hung in the main room and remembered their tears and fear that her death had tolled the end of their future bloodline.

Now they both knew how silly they were. This young man has won Jack's heat and given them an instant grandson of epic proportions. Now a second little boy was here to tug at their heartstrings. This lovely young man also brought with him a sister that not only fell in love with their silly young son, but gave him a child, along with two ready-made sweet children.

From a world bereft of children, they have five.

As Victoria watched Walter stroking Noah's soft hair she felt a swell of love and made the surprising discovery that she could not love these wee babies any more than of they had been created by Jack. These were her grandsons. Her beautiful boys and Walter caught her eye and winked in suck a "Jack" way that she resisted the urge to hug him to death.

Jack caught his mother's melancholy mood and asked quietly if everything was OK. She laughed softly as she assured him that everything was damned fine!

The ride home was in peace as Jack's babies slept. All three of them.

Reaching home, Walter woke as soon as the engine died and spied his Uncle Gray's car in the street. Jack let him out and he raced around the side of the house shouting gleefully.

Ianto woke and was treated to some soft kisses before Jack let him out.

"Gray's here?" Ianto stopped moving, halfway up the path and turned to frown at Jack, "I knew you had something up your sleeve."

"Hey!" Jack laughed with his hands in the air, "This is all Gray. As a thank you for everything you've done. A gift for all of us."

"Gift?" Ianto frowned as he limped through the house.

Jack sighed as he watched the limp, a sign that Ianto was still tired and he placed Noah gently on the sofa then knelt to kiss him as he slept. My little bean.

Ianto walked calmly back into the house and Jack looked up with a grin to ask him if he liked the surprise and his smile fell away.

Ianto was walking jerkily, like a marionette as he headed for the bedroom. Jack rose, confused and followed to found him climbing into the bed. He was fully clothed and didn't even remove his shoes. He just climbed in and pulled the blankets up over his head.

Jack stood there trying to understand what was happening.

"Sweets?" Jack said as he lifted a corner of the bedding.

Ianto was crying. Big fat drops rolling down his face as he lay silently in his self-imposed cave.

"Oh god, what's happened" Jack moaned as he dropped to his knees and placed his head near Ianto.

"My garden. They … Gray … it's …" Ianto struggled and then stopped talking, his bottom lip caught between his teeth.

"Oh babe? You don't like it?"

"You knew? They've done that and you …" Ianto's' eyes widened as he realised the real reason for their lovely day out as a family had been a carefully orchestrated plan to let this happen. "You fucking bastard! You let them do that? You know what that means to me and you knew? You deliberately kept me away so I couldn't save it?"

Jack was totally confused now and showed it, "Gray wanted to thank you for everything. The wedding, forgiving him about the accident and …"

"Get out." Ianto snarled, reaching for the covers and pulling them up.

"Babe?"

Jack watched the lump moving as Ianto rolled away, then soft sobbing could be heard through the covers.

Walter's gleeful scream had him walking out to see what was so wrong with the surprise.
