JANTO × KIDS = ♥♥♥
~*~*~*~*~
Ianto had been watching his lover, Jack Harkness, all night. Jack was normally a brooding man, but tonight he appeared especially moody. Ianto had been volunteered for DJ after the devouring of the original DJ. Since then, he’d been keeping the wedding party hopping, but his eyes were constantly on Jack.
It wasn’t until Ianto saw Jack get up and cut in on Gwen and Rhys. He pulled Gwen close, dancing slowly and gazing into her eyes. Ianto felt his blood boil slightly—the first twinges of fuzziness from the beer. Ianto didn’t know why he was so jealous; it was just sex—right?
... “If you love her—“
“I don’t.” Jack cut in.
Ianto didn’t believe him, so he pushed forward. “That’s not what it looked like across the room.”
Jack pulled away just slightly to look into Ianto’s ice blue eyes. “Ianto—“
“I understand—you don’t do domestic. I’m not sure what I was expecting from you.”
Jack looked surprised and a little sigh. “Ianto?”
The song was ending, so Ianto pulled away. “It’s your decision Jack—but I don’t just want to be some shag.”

It is an angsty, dark, graphic description of slow, painful death by radiation poisoning and there's not even a speck of WAFF until the last part of the very last chapter, so if you're looking for some light reading, this part of the series is not for you...
~*~*~*~*~
He’d had a bad feeling all morning, from the moment he’s woken up with Ianto curled in his arms.
...
Waving goodbye to his lover, Jack stepped into the sunlight. Ianto watched them carefully, this was one of the first few times they weren’t taking him in out to the field. He didn’t mind so much, he’d come to recognize that there were times when they didn’t need him. He only hoped that this too would be one of those times, though he couldn’t quite shake the eerie feeling settling in the pit of his stomach. Making his way back downstairs, he watched his team on the CCTV. Now and then he looked over to check on the rift activity, knowing that he would do whatever it would take to keep his teammates safe.
Like Ianto, Jack couldn’t quite shake off the feeling of dread that was racing through his veins.
...
Jack was just about to tap his ear bud and make a comment about being safe when he saw it there. Sitting in the middle of the room, was a piece of what looked like metal casing. It wasn’t very large, and it appeared to have some type of writing on the side. Stepping out of the doorway he moved into the room, glancing around to make sure it was safe to move towards the casing. “Hey kids, I think I may have found it, Tosh do you have any readings on it?”
“Readings are off the scale, be careful Jack. Whatever it is, I think it’s going to do something. Where are you?”
Jack leaned down close to the piece, reaching out as if something was drawing him in, he touched the casing. While dusting away some dirty and charred pieces, he hissed in pain then felt his eyes grow wide. There on the side in clear white lettering were the words Little Boy. He felt sick. “Get out!” he yelled.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: You wouldn’t believe, but I was really hoping for some fluff after the happenings of Beautiful Disaster…
Oh, how wrong I was… The proverbial other shoe drops in this story…
READ THE WARNINGS! The aforementioned “bumpy ride” by the author is very, very dark, so please, please don’t read if you’re squeamish…
~*~*~*~*~
In the days following Ianto’s transformation and Jack’s gruesome death, thoughts plagued both men. Was it too easy? It certainly seemed too easy for things to work out this well. They kept waiting for the other shoe to drop—something to happen and it would all be ruined. The metaphorical glass would be shattered and both men would crash to the ground from their stupor they’d been allowed to sneak into.
After one month had passed, both Jack and Ianto had stopped worrying about the idea of it all ending, and began to settle into a more normal routine.
…
They drove to the hub, and Jack felt like he was on cloud nine for most of the morning. That of course, ended promptly when the rift alarm went off.
…
Jack pulled up in front of a building. “Owen and Ianto, you take that way—“ Jack pointed to the left of the building. “Gwen and I will go this way. If you have any trouble get back to the SUV immediately.”
Without another word the four headed off in their designated directions. Guns in hand, drawn and prepared they wound their way through the series of empty flats. “Ianto, why don’t you go over there and check the room to see if it’s clear,” suggested Owen, pointing to one of the flats.
Ianto nodded and headed up the stairs, his eyes moving from the doorway of the flat he was about to enter, back to Owen. He glanced around then kicked the door inside. Stepping into the flat he looked around. The room itself was vacant, however for whatever reason it appeared to be filled with smoke. “Torchwood!” he yelled hoping that if someone was in the flat they’d come out. The room didn’t smell like smoke, at least not like any smoke he could recall.
“Any signals?” Ianto asked as he moved through the room, wishing he could see through what appeared to thicker smoke than moments ago. “Tosh?” He pressed his finger to his ear bud. “Jack?” Suddenly as if something had come alive he watched in horror as the smoke reared up around him. Raising his gun in the air, Ianto prepared to shoot, but he never got the chance as the smoke formation dove at him. Suddenly the world went black.

Anyway, it’s not necessarily a “light” read, but so much lighter than the previous story, so enjoy it to the fullest!! ^____^
~*~*~*~*~
"Has that changed?”
Jack shrugged, moving up; he sprawled out on his side. Ianto smiled and decided to join him. Once situated they were both on their sides, staring into one another’s eyes. “Yeah, a little. Like sometimes, when I’m lying in bed with you, or making love—I forget that I’m immortal and that you could die before me. I forget the rest of the world. Or when I’m alone, I’ll wake up from a nightmare and cry because I’m so afraid of being alone. I hate feeling like that—“
“Like you’re not in control. It’s normal Jack, trust me. Jack, you realize you don’t have to always be in control anymore. At least not in this relationship. I’m here, and I’m not some weak person who needs protected. Let me take care of you sometimes.”
“You take care of me everyday.”
Ianto chuckled. “Let me take care of your emotional burdens too.”
Jack laughed at how crazy that sounded, but when he met Ianto’s eyes again, he couldn’t resist the slight nod. “I’ve wanted to die before.”
“Do you now?”
“No.”
“I love you, and I’m so sorry that this happened to you, to us. I want to fix it.”
“I’m scared.” Jack murmured looking at his lover.
Ianto nodded. “Me too, everyday, but together we can be brave and strong. Tell me what I can do to fix this.”
Jack looked at him, suddenly unsure. “Make love to me.”

It’s utterly amusing to see a 40+/150+ something man reduced to being a child when he’s sick…
*laughs*
~*~*~*~*~
Jack scratched at his arm for what felt like the hundredth time that day and refocused his eyes on the paper in front of him. He growled in annoyance as he reached around and scraped at his back. Groaning, Jack uncharacteristically unbuttoned his dress shirt and stripped it off, leaving his braces to hang at his side as he moved his arms back to his desk—and that’s when he saw it. Tiny dots, bright red dots that covered his forearms.
...
Ianto was positive by the end of the night that these would be the two longest weeks of his life. Granted he’d managed nine months with a super pregnant Jack, somehow that didn’t even hold a flame to the way Jack was acting now. However the pinnacle had been shortly before dinner, in which Ianto had a defining moment in which his daughter proved far wiser than anyone. His daughter, for all her innocence and tendency to be a bit of a drama queen—princess; was handling this far better than her papa.
... "Jack, no itching.”
“But it itches!” Jack complained again.
Rose had taken her spoon by this time and giggled again, before pointing to her father with the spoon. “Papa’s a wimp!” She cheered.
Ianto couldn’t help the smirk that came across his handsome features as he looked at his little girl and nodded. “Yes Rosie, Papa is a wimp.”
“I’m sitting right here.”

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is a “kind-of” sequel to Snippet 1.1: Connect the Dots… I was unsure on how to post and decided to do both as different posts.
Much angst, more than its counterpart, it delves into the complication of Jack being pregnant with chicken-pox… It’s ends hopeful and happy, though! ^^
~*~*~*~*~
Ianto was sleeping—not the light sleep where he would hear a child’s cries, or wake at the nudge of his lover. He was sleeping, hard core, deep in another world sleeping. The kind of sleep he only got twice a year since he’d become immortal. He’d been a fairly light sleeper before becoming immortal and having a child. Both just made him all that much more prone to being on the cusp of sleep. Tonight, however, he was so lost to the rest of the world that a herd of elephants could have trampled through his house, up the stairs, taken his daughter and partner on a magical ride to some distant planet, returned and he never would have awoken. Or at least—that’s what he thought.
…
Tonight, it appeared as though a new bar was going to be raised. Ianto was off in some world dreaming of something highly inappropriate with his partner when something permeated his dream, a sound; a distressed wail. It was unlike anything Ianto had ever heard. As he came out of his sleep, ever so slowly, he realized the distressed wail was coming from a very awake Jack, who was in the bathroom.
Ianto snapped awake at the sound of his lover puking, concerned, he hurried into the bathroom. “What’s happened?!” He demanded from his lover, unsure why he expected Jack to get it together enough to answer the question. Ianto hissed “Shit” as he raced back out of the room and dialed Owen’s phone number, praying he could pry the Doctor from his bed this late at night.
“No—no, I can’t lose them!” Sobbed Jack.

~*~*~*~*~
Five year old Roslyn Toshiko Jones-Harkness, Rose or Rosie for short, was as bright as they came for a five-year-oldimmortal. Sharp as a tack, and she never missed a thing. Since her birth Ianto and Jack had become more careful about their choice of words and phrases around the child, discovering she had the remarkable ability to pick up on all words—Welsh included—and translate them rapidly. Needless to say it had wreaked a bit of havoc when she’d begun going to primary school and could say ‘fuck’ in every language including a couple that had yet to be invented.
So perhaps, when their five-year-old daughter began school, they should have been prepared for this, but then of course Jack was never going to be prepared for the words that came out of his daughter’s mouth the Friday before Christmas.
… Ianto had been covering the front desk in place of their usual receptionist, when Rose decided to go in for the kill. Sitting upon the barstool at the desk, her most innocent look on her face she looked at her father with big, familiar, blue eyes and smiled. “Daddy, you’re daddy—right?”
Ianto, confused for a moment looked at her and smiled. “Of course sweetheart, I’m daddy. Why?” He asked suspiciously.
Instead of answering the little girl hopped off her barstool with the ease of an adult and made her way towards the door that led to the hub. “Kay daddy, bye!”
…
“Daddyyy?”
Jack, glancing up from his paperwork, smiled. “Yes, sweetheart?”
“You can’t be daddy anymore.” She said it with such assurance that Jack just stared at her in confusion.
“What!?... why?”
“Cause Daddy is daddy. That makes you mammy!”

It’s utterly amusing to see a 40+/150+ something man reduced to being a child when he’s sick…
*laughs*

Jack scratched at his arm for what felt like the hundredth time that day and refocused his eyes on the paper in front of him. He growled in annoyance as he reached around and scraped at his back. Groaning, Jack uncharacteristically unbuttoned his dress shirt and stripped it off, leaving his braces to hang at his side as he moved his arms back to his desk—and that’s when he saw it. Tiny dots, bright red dots that covered his forearms.
...
Ianto was positive by the end of the night that these would be the two longest weeks of his life. Granted he’d managed nine months with a super pregnant Jack, somehow that didn’t even hold a flame to the way Jack was acting now. However the pinnacle had been shortly before dinner, in which Ianto had a defining moment in which his daughter proved far wiser than anyone. His daughter, for all her innocence and tendency to be a bit of a drama queen—princess; was handling this far better than her papa.
... "Jack, no itching.”
“But it itches!” Jack complained again.
Rose had taken her spoon by this time and giggled again, before pointing to her father with the spoon. “Papa’s a wimp!” She cheered.
Ianto couldn’t help the smirk that came across his handsome features as he looked at his little girl and nodded. “Yes Rosie, Papa is a wimp.”
“I’m sitting right here.”

Summary: Ianto should have known this would cause a problem, he never thought about it, because after all how many men are 51st century guys stuck in the 21st century carrying around a baby in his implanted uterus, naturally it should have occurred to him!

Comment or Excerpt from fic: This is a “kind-of” sequel to Snippet 1.1: Connect the Dots… I was unsure on how to post and decided to do both as different posts.
Much angst, more than its counterpart, it delves into the complication of Jack being pregnant with chicken-pox… It’s ends hopeful and happy, though! ^^

Ianto was sleeping—not the light sleep where he would hear a child’s cries, or wake at the nudge of his lover. He was sleeping, hard core, deep in another world sleeping. The kind of sleep he only got twice a year since he’d become immortal. He’d been a fairly light sleeper before becoming immortal and having a child. Both just made him all that much more prone to being on the cusp of sleep. Tonight, however, he was so lost to the rest of the world that a herd of elephants could have trampled through his house, up the stairs, taken his daughter and partner on a magical ride to some distant planet, returned and he never would have awoken. Or at least—that’s what he thought.
…
Tonight, it appeared as though a new bar was going to be raised. Ianto was off in some world dreaming of something highly inappropriate with his partner when something permeated his dream, a sound; a distressed wail. It was unlike anything Ianto had ever heard. As he came out of his sleep, ever so slowly, he realized the distressed wail was coming from a very awake Jack, who was in the bathroom.
Ianto snapped awake at the sound of his lover puking, concerned, he hurried into the bathroom. “What’s happened?!” He demanded from his lover, unsure why he expected Jack to get it together enough to answer the question. Ianto hissed “Shit” as he raced back out of the room and dialed Owen’s phone number, praying he could pry the Doctor from his bed this late at night.
“No—no, I can’t lose them!” Sobbed Jack.

Comment or Excerpt from fic: *snickers* I guess this is the answer to distinguishing between two fathers… Personally, I think Jack should be called “Mommy,” but for him, I believe it was more of a question of pride… *laughing*
~*~*~*~*~
Five year old Roslyn Toshiko Jones-Harkness, Rose or Rosie for short, was as bright as they came for a five-year-oldimmortal. Sharp as a tack, and she never missed a thing. Since her birth Ianto and Jack had become more careful about their choice of words and phrases around the child, discovering she had the remarkable ability to pick up on all words—Welsh included—and translate them rapidly. Needless to say it had wreaked a bit of havoc when she’d begun going to primary school and could say ‘fuck’ in every language including a couple that had yet to be invented.
So perhaps, when their five-year-old daughter began school, they should have been prepared for this, but then of course Jack was never going to be prepared for the words that came out of his daughter’s mouth the Friday before Christmas.
… Ianto had been covering the front desk in place of their usual receptionist, when Rose decided to go in for the kill. Sitting upon the barstool at the desk, her most innocent look on her face she looked at her father with big, familiar, blue eyes and smiled. “Daddy, you’re daddy—right?”
Ianto, confused for a moment looked at her and smiled. “Of course sweetheart, I’m daddy. Why?” He asked suspiciously.
Instead of answering the little girl hopped off her barstool with the ease of an adult and made her way towards the door that led to the hub. “Kay daddy, bye!”
…
“Daddyyy?”
Jack, glancing up from his paperwork, smiled. “Yes, sweetheart?”
“You can’t be daddy anymore.” She said it with such assurance that Jack just stared at her in confusion.
“What!?... why?”
“Cause Daddy is daddy. That makes you mammy!”
