Maybe trading childcare duty back and forth, something that had worked so well for Jack and Ianto up to this point, hadn’t been the best idea. Maybe one or other of them should have stayed home with the twins for the duration. But after spending a single day with the cranky, spotty, itchy twins and their equally itchy baby sister, Ianto had been going out of his mind, so he and Jack had continued with their one day on, one day off style of juggling both parenting and work. It had given each of them a chance to regain their sanity before plunging back into the fray.
 

It hadn’t been nearly so bad with Meriel, but then, one child with chickenpox was a whole lot easier to deal with than three. Ianto had willingly stayed home with his five-year-old daughter for the duration, while Jack took care of things at the Hub, and somehow, they’d got through that ordeal intact. Now though…
 

Janet the Weevil was cranky and had developed an itchy rash that looked suspiciously like chickenpox, even though Owen had thought that Weevils were naturally immune to human diseases. Worse than that, now Myfanwy had spots as well!

I have vague memories of having had chickenpox. I do not envy anyone in this story.

I didn't catch it until I was 12! It was NOT fun.

Thank you!
