BITTERSWEET

Jack brushed white hair back from his daughter's face. Watching your children die of old age was the curse of being immortal.
.
     “It's okay, Dad. Tad told me that the bond with parents is the closest we'll ever experience. To be with you when you come into this world... and when you go out, that's an amazing gift. He was right. I'm glad you're here.”

.

Jack blinked back tears. Ianto's gift to him, that their children would not hate him for what he was as others had, but appreciate that they'd never have to be alone. Especially at the end.
