It took an hour and a half to get home and the twins were exhausted and didn't even wake up when Jack and Ianto unbuckled them and carried them to their room.

"Should we wake them up?" Jack asked.

Ianto shook his head. "No."

"But they'll never sleep tonight." Jack protested.

"Yeah but they obviously need the sleep. If we wake them up now they'll be grumpy and looking for arguments with each other. I don't really want to deal with two grouchy children. I'd rather they wake up later and don't want to go to sleep. That way we can just sit them down with some paints or use all the extra energy to tidy their bedroom and put all their new toys away in proper homes." Ianto explained and took Jack's hand and led him out of the bedroom.

Closing the door behind him, Ianto leaned closer to Jack and kissed him. Jack was surprised at first but it only took a second for him to return Ianto's kiss. He wrapped his arms around Ianto's waist and he pulled him closer. Jack basked in the contact but Ianto pulled away and pressed a few smaller kisses to Jack's mouth before he detached himself from his boyfriend and walked teasingly back down the stairs; leaving Jack dumbfounded.

"Jack? Are you coming downstairs to help me with the suitcases?" Ianto called up to him. Jack could hear the smile in his voice.

"Yeah." Jack quickly made his way to where Ianto was standing with the cases. He took one handle and helped Ianto wheel them into the utility room.

"Thanks for making the weekend so special, Jack." Ianto said whilst unloading clothes that needed washing into the laundry basket.

"I didn't really do anything Ianto." Jack raised his eyebrows.

"You were there Jack. I know it's not fun staying with my family but it means a lot to me that you do." Ianto explained.

"Ianto, I love your family. If I had my way, we would be visiting them a lot more often." Jack started sorting through the dirty washing and separating it into light and darks so the colours wouldn't run.

"How can you love my family? Whenever we go to visit them I'm constantly worrying that somebody will bring something embarrassing up from my childhood." Ianto pouted and Jack couldn't help but stare. He was so cute when he pouted.

"What embarrassing stuff?" Jack asked. He was curious now. Ianto had never mentioned anything like that before. To be honest, Jack had never thought of Ianto doing anything embarrassing; he was almost always calm and collected.

"Nothing." Ianto answered quickly and started shoving the first load of washing into the machine. He adjusted the settings and walked out of the door and into the garden.

"You can't just leave it there Yan. Tell me some embarrassing stuff." Ianto shook his head as he sat on the bench in their garden. The grass was littered with toys from the twins and Ianto wanted nothing more than to just get up and start tidying everything away but he knew that he wasn't about to get out of this conversation. "I've told you tonnes of stories about my past."

"Fine, it's not exactly embarrassing but I'd rather not have it brought up again." Ianto tried to stall.

"Spit it out Yan. I'm dying to know what you're afraid of everybody knowing!" Jack bounced up and down like a small child on Christmas Eve.

"I stole some clothes from Top Man." Ianto blurted out. He instantly went that cute shade of red that Jack loved so much and buried his face in his hands.

"Is that it?" Jack stopped bouncing and looked at Ianto.

"I was doing it to impress the guys I was hanging around with." Ianto explained.

"What did they look like?" Jack asked, the mischievous grin was spreading across his face once again.

"Jack! Is that all you ever think about?" Ianto scowled.

"Well you said that you were trying to impress them so I assumed that you meant that you like them." Jack said innocently.

"No, I wanted to be in their gang and I thought it would make me cool. I got caught though and tried to escape the security guards by stamping on their feet but they just lifted me up until I stopped kicking." Ianto looked down shamefully.

A moment of silence passed and then Jack burst out laughing.

"What happened when they finally stopped you from having a tantrum?" Jack wiped the tears from his face and tried to stop himself from laughing so hard.

"I was taken to the security office and my Tad was called to the shop and made to pay for the clothes. I then had to go to court." Ianto added quietly.

"Seriously? What did they say?" Jack asked. He was getting into Ianto's story.

"They originally gave me six weeks community service." Ianto admitted.

"What do you mean 'originally'?" Jack said.

"I started kicking off because that's what the other kids in the gang would have done and I got twelve weeks community service instead." Ianto hung his head.

"Awww. Poor Ianto." Jack cooed and stroked Ianto's head.

"I was also grounded by my Tad and my Mam made me do the dishes for three weeks." Ianto moaned. "And do you know what the worst part is?"

Jack shook his head.

"I still wasn't allowed in their gang!" Ianto grumbled.

Jack couldn't help bursting into laughter again. Ianto playfully hit him but soon joined in the laughter when he saw the funny side.

A little voice at the door finally stopped their laughing.

"Daddy? Can you play Barbie's with me please?" Bethan stood at the door with her hair tousled from sleep.

"Sure sweetie. You go and get everything ready and I'll be there in a minute." Jack told her.

Ianto smiled into the kiss that Jack had suddenly planted on him. Their lips lingered for a few more moments before Jack pulled away, chuckled slightly and went back inside the house to play Barbie's with their daughter.

Sighing happily, Ianto thought to himself that he wouldn't change his family for the world.
