Dinner had finally arrived and everyone was once again in the boardroom eating and chatting.
"So Mac. Got any more stories about Jack that you care to share?"
"Oh yeah. Okay let's see. Well there was the time when he accidentally used some alien technology and ended up with a tale for…. How many days was that?"
"12. And it wasn't funny. You try getting a tale to fit inside a pair of jeans so people don't notice it."
"Oh and did he mention that it was a tight pair of jeans. I mean you could see everything, and believe me, as his daughter there are some things I really don't want to see when it comes to my dad."
"Why not?"
"IANTO! HE'S MY DAD! EWWWWWW! Trying to get those pictures out of my head."
"And?"
"Ianto Jones, I never in a million years thought you would have such a dirty mind. Dad, I think you rubbed off on him. Okay that was really bad choice of words."
Gwen, Ianto and Jack were laughing.
"Yes it was. But funny as hell."
"Well at least I'm not the one who got knocked out by an 8 year old girl."
Jack stopped laughing and gave Mac an evil look.
"Wait Jack got knocked out by an 8 year old girl?"
"Yes Gwen, he did."
"Was she an alien?"
"Nope, plain old fashion human."
"She was strong as hell. There was nothing I could do!"
"So she had some sort of power that made you unable to… oh I don't know, maybe like move!"
"No she didn't, but I didn't think that an 8 year old could be that strong."
"Well it's not every day you find a little girl who can knock out a full grown man."
"No it's not. I'm just glad I never have to see her again."
"Yeah I bet. Oh and speaking of being knocked out. Whatever happened to James?"
"I think he's on Jupiter this year."
"Really? What would he be doing there? That place sucks. Not one thing to do on that planet."
"Yeah, well I think that's why he went there, to do nothing."
"Yeah maybe."
"What does this have to do with Jack getting knocked out?"
"Oh sorry, I almost forgot about that. So do you wanna tell or should I?"
"I'll take this one I think."
"Suit yourself."
"So what happened was, James and I were walking down the street, tracking down some alien artifact when I closed my eyes because of the light coming from this alien artifact, and I walked into a lamppost."
"Oh no. I bet that left you with a headache after you woke up."
"Yeah I did. And now I think we've heard enough bad stories about me, but I would like to hear some stories about Ianto when you dated him Mac."
"I'm not gonna tell, cause Ianto will kill me."
"No I won't. It's okay if you wanna tell them about when we dated, as long as you leave out the time with Dylan."
"Yeah we don't wanna go back there."
"For you sake I hope you didn't cheat on my daughter Ianto Jones."
"Jack I would never cheat on anyone."
Ianto left the room, he was angry with Jack for thinking that he would cheat on anyone. Jack ran after him down to the archives and saw Ianto sitting on the floor with his head on his knees.
"Yani. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that, I know you wouldn't cheat on anyone."
"Then why did you even say it?"
"I don't know. Just me being stupid as usual."
"Yeah I guess."
"Thanks."
"For what?"
"You just agreed with me that I'm usually stupid."
"Well you are, but that's what makes you you!"
"And that's why you love me?"
"Yeah. That's why I love you."
"I love you too Ianto Jones. Always will."
Ianto hugged Jack and kissed him passionately. They stayed like that for a few minutes, before heading back upstairs to where Gwen and Mac were. The rest of the night went by quickly and Jack and Ianto were all lovey dovey towards each other, smiling kissing and laughing. Gwen smiled at the sight.
"Well guys. I'm going home if that's okay."
"Sure Gwen. Go be with Rhys. Have fun."
"Thanks. Good night guys. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Night Gwen."
"Night Gwen."
"Well, I should go to the hotel and get some sleep."
"You don't have to go to a hotel. You can stay here tonight."
"No thanks. Remember the last time I slept here."
"Oh yeah. That wasn't good."
"Why what happened?"
"Let's just say that I found her on her way into one of the cells with a weevil in it."
"May I ask why you did that?"
"I sleep walk."
"Oh and where did you think you were going?"
"The bathroom. And don't laugh. I almost got myself killed again."
"Luckily I got to her in time to stop her, or she would have been weevil food."
"Ianto I told you not to laugh."
Ianto couldn't speak, because he was laughing to hard. He finally caught his breath and spoke.
"Sorry, I just remembered something."
"What?"
"One of the nights you spend at my apartment when we dated, I found you in the middle of the night trying to make coffee in your sleep. It looked funny."
"I bet it didn't taste good."
"Actually her coffee that night was almost as good as mine."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"You know dad, I do know how to make good coffee!"
"I know you do, but to almost be as good as Ianto. That is just amazing."
"Awwww, thanks Jack."
"You're welcome. Now are you going or staying?"
"Going. Don't want another incident on my hands."
"Okay. But really we could just tie you to the bed."
"Be there, done that."
Ianto smiled a little at the memory that surfaced in his mind. Jack noticed and frowned.
"What's with the smile?"
"Just getting some ideas."
"Really?"
"Yep."
Ianto looked at Mac who started giggling, making Jack look at Mac and then at Ianto.
"You didn't!"
"It was the only way to keep her from cheating, like her father, at naked hide and seek."
Mac couldn't keep the laughter from escaping from her lips. She was almost on the floor trying to breathe in between laughs.
"I can't believe you tied my daughter to the bed."
"If it makes you feel any better she did it to me too."
Jack's eyes became Christmas lights.
"Mac, did you take pictures of that? Please say you did."
Mac managed to blurt out a little sentence before laughing even more.
"Yes…. I….. did…."
"Great."
"And here I was thinking you would feel bad for me. I guess I was wrong."
Jack had a daring smile on his face.
"Yeah I guess you were."
Mac had finally stopped laughing do to cramps.
"I think I'll leave you two to take care of whatever it is you need to take care of!"
"Okay bye Mac."
"Bye dad, bye Ianto."
Mac gave Ianto a wink on her way out. Ianto smiled at her and mouthed 'thank you'.
"Well Mr. Jones. Care to escort me to the bedroom?"
"It will be my pleasure Mr. Harkness."
