[John loves it--of course he loves it. Granted, he'd wanted to suggest Bridget more than once, but he's not sure if that would hurt Jack or not.
He thinks, briefly, of his mother, or of Co--but some small part of him doesn't want to leave his mark on this baby. Jack and Ianto are better men than him, he'd only taint the kid with--
Ianto suddenly reaches over and flicks him in the forehead, making him wince.]
Stop it, John. Whatever you're specifically thinking, stop it. You're not getting down on yourself, not while we're naming the baby.
[Jack notices that brief moment when John's mind goes to a place he's pretty familiar with, even if he doesn't know the exact lay of the land in this case, but it doesn't last long enough for him to actually get that worried, thanks to Ianto.
Then that darkness leaves John's face, which would lift Jack's spirits no matter the reason, but… He grins right back, feeling none of the sorrow he might have in another moment at the reminder of two girls he'd never see again.]
Sounds fantastic. [he leans in to kiss John, brief and almost-chaste, then turns to do the same to Ianto.]
[John and Ianto both kiss him back, then impulsively Ianto shifts to lean down and kiss Jack’s belly.]
Well hello to you, Valerian Rose, my sweet little—
[His lips just press to the spot his hand had been before, then jerks back like he’s been burned, fingers flying to his lips. John is immediately on alert, eyes wide.]
Ian?…
[Ianto blinks, then scowls at Jack’s stomach, pointing accusingly at the small distortion to the bulge of Jack’s stomach.]
Our unborn bloody daughter kicked me in the face. Right in the mouth.
[Jack manages to suppress his smile the moment he realizes what's happened, but gives up on even trying once Ianto practically glowers at his stomach.
Grinning, he turns to John] Guess you should take that as a warning [he says, half-laughing] And at least that confirms I've felt her poking around a couple times over the last week or so.
[John's eyes are wide, could be called frightened if not for the massive grin stretching even his perpetually crooked mouth wide. Reaching out, he lays a hand over the spot where Ianto had pressed his mouth, and after a minute his breath catches.]
Holy shit, that's a foot. [He breathes the words reverently, staring at his own hand.] That's a little goddamn foot right there...
[Ianto settles back to tuck himself against Jack's side, head propped in his hand again with a smile of his own.]
Getting beat up by my own unborn child is almost worth it to see John here get sappy over baby kicks.
[John flips off Ianto good-naturedly, then leans over to press a kiss of his own to the tiny swell of a foot pressing against Jack's belly.]
Watch. She's gonna be a swimmer like Ian, with legs like that.
[Jack laughs softly at Ianto's commentary and John's silent response, but is otherwise silent as he watches and feels John and their daughter really interacting with each other for the first time. He honestly hadn't thought about the possibility of anyone else being able to feel any of the strange fluttering sensations he'd been experiencing for at least a few more weeks, but considering Owen's comment about her being a little ahead of schedule compared to most babies in the 21st century it makes sense.
It's still surreal, and makes it all feel that much more wonderfully, terrifyingly real.
John's commentary keeps him from even coming close to falling into fear and melancholy, though, and he grins as he reaches to idly brush some of those dark waves away from John's forehead.]
'Least you two aren't going to be getting the full impact of her testing out all her parts. Can't say I'm too excited to find out what it's like to get kicked in the ribs from the inside once she's got a bit more weight to put into it. [but he's still smiling as he says it, so…yeah, he's not exactly upset by the prospect either.]
[Jack had been about to make some comment about how he's pretty sure Toby will volunteer herself to help out with that plenty, given how he's seen her acting with Zia, and the fact she's been willing to help with just about anything if it doesn't involve cooking or getting submerged, but then Ianto's kissing him and--
Well, he doesn't lose all language, but quite a lot of it. Pretty much anything unrelated to getting either or both of his boyfriends to have their way with him, honestly. He'd thought it was pretty much impossible for his sex drive to increase past his usual baseline, but the last couple weeks have really proven him wrong on that count.
He manages a breathy laugh as he returns Ianto's kiss.]
I'd ask if you really wanna make that promise considering, but I've got enough firsthand experience to know you're not all talk. [he tips his head to look at John again, grinning] But I know both of you can give my creativity a challenge in that department.
[John grins, and it sets off a flutter in the pit of Ianto's stomach--equal parts fear and anticipation.
He just sits and watches as John takes a turn, bowing his head to kiss Jack, slower and softer than Ianto--and absolutely filthy, making Ianto's breath catch imagining John using that gorgeous tongue to open him up for a nice, long, slow fuck.
John breaks the kiss, running a hand through Jack's hair with that same scary yet exciting smile.]
Y'know, we have ourselves a real bossy dom here in ol' Ian...what would you say if I told you I had half a mind to make him beg 'n let you watch me do it?
[...and just like that, Ianto's mouth goes bone dry as he looks between the pair of them for all of three seconds before leaning across Jack to grab John by the hair and kiss him breathless.]
[Jack moans into John's mouth, and when the kiss breaks he tips his head into the fingers raking through his hair as he catches his breath, lips parted and glistening as he looks up at John. His breath is taken away all over again at John's proposition, and he's still trying to formulate a response when Ianto pulls John in for a very hot kiss of his own.
That renders Jack speechless for several more long moments before he licks his lips, swallowing a couple times before he can trust himself to actually say something mostly-coherent]
I'd say that I'd like to see that very, very much. [he finally manages, voice clear if rough with desire]

Grinning, he meets Jack's gaze.]

Oi! I’ll thank you not to promise out me changing nappies.
[John raises an eyebrow with a smirk.]
It’s not too far along for sex, y’know. I make Jack the right promise and he’ll help me pin you down.
[Ianto just laughs, leaning down to kiss Jack soundly.]
Whatever he promises you, I’ll do it harder and dirtier.
