Notes: Ianto's day is going from bad to worse. A double drabble.

Ianto slumped into the taxi, feeling miserable. It wasn't the fact that he'd lost the SUV which was front of mind, though Jack would give him an absolute bollocking for it when he got back to the hub. It was leaving his sister's house without the one thing he'd gone there to get: his niece and nephew.

At first he'd gone there because Jack needed a child to help them figure out why it was they were all starting to randomly chant in unison. By the time he'd been force fed tea and spinach dip, it was more a sense of dread he couldn't shake. He wanted to take them back to the hub for their own safety, but as with all things to do with his sister, he'd lost his nerve. She wasn't letting them out of her sight and that was going to have to be good enough for him.

It didn't stop him feeling like he'd left empty handed, and that if anything, his sister had been the one to get something from him: the first salivating details about the man he'd been spotted dining with a few weeks back.

Today was simply not going to plan.

Poor Ianto, that wasn't a good day for him.
