A/N: Triple drabble.
Ianto wasn’t sure what had come over him, offering to take his niece and nephew into Cardiff for the afternoon. He was useless with kids, usually just gave them money so they’d go away, yet here he was with Mica hanging onto his hand and David trudging along at his other side, wending their way through the shoppers, looking for last-minute gifts for their parents, and for their unexpected and totally unplanned brother or sister, due in less than three months.
Perhaps that was what had motivated him. He’d messed up so badly with these two and wanted to do better this time. Besides, Rhi was tired, she needed a break. She was having a tough time with this pregnancy.
“Uncle Ianto, can we visit Santa?” Mica begged. She was pointing to where children were queuing to enter Santa’s grotto just inside the shopping centre.
“Excellent idea. David, d’you want to visit Santo too?”
“I’m too old for that stuff,” David grumbled, but he tagged along anyway.
When they reached the front of the queue, Ianto frowned; there was something about Santa, a familiar twinkle in bright blue eyes.
“HoHoHo! Merry Christmas!” Santa boomed. “Come sit on Santa’s knee and tell me what you’d like for Christmas. Ladies first.”
Mica didn’t hesitate, bounding into Santa’s lap and whispering in his ear.
“I’ll see what I can do,” Santa assured her. “Now, young David, what’s on your wish list this year?”
David’s eyes widened in amazement. “He knows my name!”
“Well go on then.” Ianto nudged his nephew forward, and David went, beaming as he told Santa what he’d like.
“And now, Ianto Jones.” Santa winked. “You deserve a present too.”
“Go on, Uncle!” Mica urged.
Blushing, Ianto perched on Santa’s knee. “I’ll get you for this, Jack!” he hissed.
“HoHoHo!”
