Flynn did the yucky dance for Owen as he hooted with glee.

Jack looked up from the sofa where he sat cradling his elixir of the gods, commonly known as coffee, frowning at the noise "Owen my head is still splitting."

"Well, bugger off then" Owen quipped, "Look at 'im. Just like his Tad."

Flynn grinned and danced some more, complete with cuff shooting at the end and Owen roared with mirth.

"Right, it's contained" Ianto said as he finally sat and looked at Jack, "You ok? Did Owen give you something for your head?"

"I offered him a plastic bag but he said no" Owen quipped as he wandered past with Flynn following, his little hands clasped behind his back in a mirror to Owen's.

"Funny ha-ha" Jack groaned as Owen laughed and went over to annoy Gwen.

"Right." Ianto looked at his son, "Flynn, since you have the day off school, would you like to come see my archives? Where I work?"

"Actually your Tad does a lot more than just file reports" Jack said as he rose, grimacing from the residual effects of the taser, "We have some aliens he looks after too. Would you like to see some?"

"Er…Jack" Ianto's uneasiness was obvious as he used Jack's name and not the title and Jack smiled softly as he tried not to show how much he liked hearing his name on Ianto's tongue.

"Ianto, Gwen was right. This wee fella is the reason we fight, right? Why not have a little fun. He deserves to know how brave his Tad is. You yourself said only the other day that this job has limits" Jack warned softly and Ianto nodded. "Come on soldier, bet you never saw a man with a fish for a head before!"

Ianto watched his son slip a little hand into Jack's and follow meekly as Jack talked about blowfish and the planet of their origin.

"What if he tells someone?" Ianto said to Owen nervously, "He's just a baby. He might slip, not his fault right?"

"Mate, at that age their imaginations are immense" Owen laughed, "If anyone ever asked tell them yes. You are an alien too and you eat through your nose or some shit. Then laugh and say 'Kids and their games, eh?' before shaking you head. Everyone will think he's making it up like a game."

"Jack seems to like him" Ianto said as he leaned against Owen's workstation and looked in the direction they had gone, "Never thought of him as a family man."

"Nah, me neither to be honest" Owen swung in his chair to look in that direction as well, "Mind you, he has been here forever. Goes to reason he might have kids out there, he does like to sow those wild oats."

Ianto snorted and rose awkwardly as Owen internally kicked himself. He had just upset the Welshman by reminding him that Jack was promiscuous. Good one. Owen tried to think of a way to save the situation but Ianto was already moving away. Shit.

The klaxons sounded as Gwen wandered in, her laugher as she spoke to someone called 'Brenda' grating and Ianto saw Owen's frown so mouthed 'Mother-in-law' to him. Owen grimaced and rose to follow Jack.

"Coffee please Pet" she called out as she settled at her workstation, "And a chockie bikie!"

Ianto blinked.

Tosh swung slowly in the chair to look at Gwen who was oblivious to the team's annoyance as she placed her purse down and started to riffle thorough it. She found the lipstick and applied some using a little mirror from her top drawer. She smacked her lips and then perked up as Jack's laugher started to come closer, checking her boobs quick and then pertly turning to look at…

Flynn had some sort of lizard in his hands and he looked at her breasts with wide eyes as the lizard wriggled about.

"Cripes. Those look heavy. Aunty Rhia sez hers are like bowling balls" he said to the woman, "Do you have a special bra thing to keep them still too? Aunty Rhia calls hers her Wrangler."

Jack had paused as the sight of the low cut top and he stated to snigger as the lizard looked at the breasts as well, the little green tongue waving about in the air as it tasted things like it was trying to lick her.

"Flynn, what have you there young man?" Ianto asked his son with a gentle smile.

"A lizard. He was in a box of things" Flynn grinned, "Uncle Jack sez I can keep him."

"Uncle Jack huh?" Ianto looked at Jack with a soft smile to show he didn't mind and Jack grinned back with his hands in his pockets as he shrugged.

"He really is just an iguana" Jack promised, "I ordered the mice for Owen's snake things and they mucked it up. I was gonna send him back but someone took a liking."

"OK" Ianto shrugged.

"Wait" Gwen said as she looked up from the top she was adjusting, "Did you say snakes?"

"Yeah" Owen snorted, "What else do you think I get mice for? The rats are too big."

"Rats?" she spluttered, "You buy rats too?"

"Don't' be stupid" Owen snorted, "Nah. I just trap the ones running loose in here for the larger things to eat."

Gwen went deathly pale as Ianto resisted the urge to snigger.

Nice one Owen.
