Disclaimer: how many times do I have to say the obvious? I don't own Torchwood...

"Jack! Jack get up!"
"But Ianto….." Jack protested, rolling over on the bed.
"Don't 'but Ianto' me Jack Harkness. You promised the kids you would take them to school today." Ianto growled as Jack buried his head under his pillow. "Fine, if you want to play, we'll play Jack. CHIP! CHIP!"
Suddenly there was the loud patter of a child's footsteps.
"Daddy!"
Jack screamed as the strange little boy launched himself on top of Jack's back.
"That's playing dirty!" he grumbled at Ianto who sat laughing as he buttoned up his waistcoat.
"Get up daddy!" Chip protested, bouncing on Jack's back.
"Chip! Stop!"
"But daddy! You promised to take me and Stella to school in the SUV today!" Chip protested.
"Fine! I'm up, I'm up!"
Chip just giggled and ran out of the room as Jack sat up.
"Remind me again why we adopted two kids?"
"Just go with it. You promised to take them to school though." Ianto said with a smile.
"Alright. Do I at least get a good morning kiss though?" Jack pouted as he stood up.
Ianto walked over and gave Jack a small kiss. "I'll see you at the hub in a bit Jack."
"Alright." Jack sighed, then he headed to the bathroom for a shower.
Ianto smiled and walked out of the room where he found Chip and Stella eating breakfast at the table. After greeting each and getting a hug and kiss he left for the hub and found himself smiling at the bit of routine in his life.
It had been nearly three months since the 456 incident and Ianto couldn't be happier.
According to Alistair Ianto would no longer be able to die because he was now something like his brother…. Not quite human. But it was for his benefit because his purpose in life was to be with Jack, so he would remain immortal and stay by Jack's side till Jack did eventually die… a few billion years from now. But Ianto tried not to dwell on time, instead he enjoyed the here and now.
Now he and Jack were living in a small house on the outskirts of Cardiff with a back yard and three bedrooms. Stella now had Chip as a little brother and Chip was happy having a family.
Tucker was still in school with the others, though explaining he was still Tucker Midnightstar to the headmaster was a challenge.
Lois Habiba had been rescued from prison and was given a position within Torchwood making their team grow to eight team members. Ten if you included Stella and Russell….. Even more when you included the entire choir that enjoyed coming around to help out and hang out.
But for Ianto, life was perfect. He was happy. He had Jack, Stella and Chip. Alice and Steven came around often for family dinners. Torchwood was running smoothly and expanding to help protect Cardiff and the world. In other words, the world was right, at least until the next alien invasion, or world wide alien epidemic, and Ianto wouldn't have it any other way.
