***Part 10

"A doctor? You mean a real doctor, not just 'play doctor'? Jack questioned.

Ianto sighed as he set himself down next to Jack and put his feet into his lovers lap to be rubbed. "Yes Jack, a real medical degree doctor, specifically a neurosurgeon. Owen is quite single minded these days. Doctor Smith is wondering if he's the same child who started with his academy four years ago."

Jack beamed, "My son the doctor. It sounds so much better than my son the delinquent."

"Oi!" Ianto objected, "No son of mine is a delinquent, nor is anyone who is/was/or will be one of my charges."

Jack smiled over at Ianto as he softly rubbed his feet eliciting a delightful moan that did wonders for his ego and libido, "And how are you settling in at the Academy? You know you didn't have to seek employment elsewhere. Gwen misses you."

Ianto sighed, "We've been over this Jack; I couldn't stay employed with you, not after our relationship changed. Owen's nearly fifteen he doesn't need me and Gwen has me wrapped around her little finger every time she calls me 'Tad' so I'm useless at a child minder for her. Besides, they didn't need a nanny, they just needed to reconnect with you, and now they have."

"Do you realize that you just called Owen your son and referred to yourself as Gwen's Tad?"

"Well, I mean… I know I'm not really… that is to say…" Ianto stammered. "I know that they're your children Jack, yours and Estelle's. I've no right to claim them and just because you and I have got a relationship going and that I live here and no longer work for you…mmpf"

Ianto's ramble was cut off by Jack's quick kiss, "I love it when you get flustered like that. So not the normal unflappable nanny we've come to love. And I mean that, we all love you, Owen, Gwen and especially me."

Jack held Ianto's hand, his thumb running across bare knuckles, he seemed transfixed for a moment, then his eyes met Ianto's and it was if time stood still for both of them.

"Ianto… would you like the right to call them your children too?"

Ianto caught his breath as he realized what Jack was saying. "Jack, what exactly are you asking me?"

"I know that I'm older than you, and that you're not even double Owen's age, and you have your whole life ahead of you and you probably don't want to be saddled with kids and everything despite the fact that you're a teacher now…mmpf" Jack's ramble was cut off much the same way Ianto's had been earlier only a bit more heatedly.

When Ianto lifted his lips from Jack he whispered, "Ask me proper."

"Marry me?"

"Yes."

"A carousel?"

"Yep"

"A Carousel?"

"Yep."

"Your Great Aunt Mary rented a carousel for our commitment ceremony? "

"Yep."

"And you agreed?"

Ianto finally turned to face Jack's incredulous look, "You try saying no to her. It's impossible. She twists you around her finger and makes you do and say the most ridiculous things, by the time she's done you think it was your idea!"

As the day turned into night and the stars and fairy lights turned the park into magic and Jack and Ianto danced in each other's arms surrounded by their friends and family, Martha and Doctor Smith, Andy and a heavily pregnant and glowing Tosh danced alongside the happy couple. Owen and his new girlfriend Katie, with Gwen following in Great Aunt Mary's wake rode the carousel one last time.

"You were right." Jack chuckled, clasping Ianto's hand and gazed at the matching gold bands.

"Of course I was, what about?" Ianto replied happily.

"Great Aunt Mary and the carousel, she really does get you to do amazing things, she told me it was her idea for you to apply for the job."

Ianto smiled looking around the park, "It was. I had applied to the Academy and had been waitlisted for a teaching position. I had nothing to do with myself so she gave me the advert and told me to follow the wind. And look where it took me."

"Straight into my arms." Jack said kissing his new husband.

"Happily ever after?" Ianto smirked, his eyes shifting around slightly.

"Yes, happily every after." Jack agreed. "What are you looking for?" Jack asked Ianto curiously.

"Dancing Penguins."
