Hidden Nightmares

So, second attempt at a Torchwood story. First attempt at a Torchwood chapter story. I have a high obsession with Ianto Jones. And let me be the first to say that I cried so hard when Ianto died. I threw my ice cream at the TV too. But it's done with and I'm okay with it now. That's what fan fiction is for. We can bring him back or keep him alive. I have decided to keep him alive.

Ianto survives the poison. But he doesn't wake up in time enough to stop Jack from leaving. With Jack gone, Ianto has to deal with his hidden past coming back to him. The poison did something to his mind and the memories he kept locked away and buried deep down are coming to the surface. How can he face them without his Captain to save him? Ianto/Martha

A/N-I hope you guys like it lol this is all a bit new to me.

Disclaimer-Don't own Torchwood, if I did things would be extremely different.

When Ianto opened his eyes, he found himself inside a thin red sleeping bag. Wait no scratch that, a thin red body bag. His mind was fuzzy and he couldn't see straight. Moving his arms up to try and unzip the bag, Ianto groaned as they cracked and ached. His muscles felt as if they hadn't been moved in days. Where was Jack? Gwen? Rhys? Rhiannon? Hell Ianto would even settle for Johnny. As he grasped the edge of the zipper, Ianto squinted his eyes as he pulled it down, freeing himself from the small confinement.

Sitting up took more than two tires but once he had, Ianto took a deep breath of the fresh air. He came to the conclusion that he was freezing. Looking around and blowing a puff of air from his mouth, Ianto realized he was in a very large freezer. All around him there were body bags, frowning he drew his knees up as he tried to remember.

After a few moments of thinking it finally hit him, the children all stopping, them screaming and relaying the messages of the aliens. The 456 they had been called. He remembered being on the run with Jack and Gwen. He remembered being poisoned and he remembered dying.

Snapping his head up, Ianto looked over his own hands. He may have been cold but blood was definitely circulating through his body. Why was he alive? He should have been dead. How long had he been dead?

Stumbling to his feet, Ianto leaned against the freezer door. Searching his pockets, Ianto pulled out his cell phone and frowned at it. Shouldn't this have been taken from him? But then he suddenly smiled.

Gwen.

He loved that woman, she must have not let them take it. She was probably in denial about his death. She was probably waiting for his call. Waiting for him to tell her that he was alive and well and needed her to come get him out of here. His grin spreading, Ianto flipped open his phone and turned it on. He scrolled through his contacts. Stopping at Jack's name, maybe he should call him. Or maybe he should wait and surprise him. Ianto went back up to Gwen's name and pressed the call button. Then holding the phone up to his ear, he began to shake in both coldness and excitement.

When her face wavered into the phone, Ianto let out a cry of Joy.

"I-Ianto?"

--

Gwen had been shopping for baby clothes with Rhys. They were in the little girls section. Rhys was convinced beyond all matter that they were having a girl. Gwen on the other hand was secretly hoping for a boy. Because if they had a boy then she could name him Ianto. Her fingers shook slightly as she picked up a small pink dress.

She still was not use to the fact that Jack and Ianto were gone. Martha had agreed to come and be their Doctor but they were kind of lost without their Captain and Tea Boy. Gwen knew that Jack was hurting, he'd lost his boyfriend, his grandson and his daughter. All within six hours. But did he not think that the other three of the team were hurting as well? Martha and Gwen cried hard over Ianto, Rhys had pretended not to care but the two girls could hear him crying in the kitchen when he came to work with her.

"Gwen?" Rhys said putting his hand on her shoulder.

Turning to face him with her wide eyes she tilted her head.

"Your phones ringing love."

Looking down, she could heard the soft melody playing from her pocket. Digging it from her jeans, Gwen glanced at the caller I.D.

She stared at it.

Ianto.

Gwen blinked twice before she flipped her phone open so fast she was surprised it didn't break. Then she slowly brought it to her ear,

"I-Ianto?"

"Hi Gwen."

His voice sounded as if it hadn't been used in forever. And she could hear the excitement in it. She felt her knees buckle and she leaned against Rhys for support.

"Oh my god," She gasped out. "Ianto is that really you?"

He laughed.

"Yea, it's really me." He paused for a second. "How long has it been?"

Gwen leaned on Rhys for full support as she felt herself surge with happiness. Her arm curled around her large belly and her face broke into a smile.

"Six months." She said tears blurring her vision, Ianto swore in Welsh. "Oh god Ianto you have no idea how good it is to hear your voice."

He chuckled.

"Can you come and get me out of here?" He asked after a moment or two.

"I'm on my way." Gwen said motioning to Rhys that they were leaving. "We'll see you soon?"

"Gwen?" Ianto paused, hesitating as if he didn't want to ask the next question.

"What is it love?" She asked her brow furrowing as she and Rhys left all the stuff they were planning on buying in the middle of the aisle.

"Can we not hang up the phone?" Ianto asked quietly. "I don't want to be alone."

"Of course." Gwen said. "I'll stay on the phone with you until we get there."

She heard Ianto sigh in relief and a smile spread across her tear stained face.

"Your stomach." Ianto said suddenly.

"What about it?" Gwen asked as Rhys practically sped towards the Hub.

"It must be big now." He said. "You're six months pregnant."

Gwen laughed and nodded.

"I'm bloody huge!" She exclaimed. "I still have a hard time wrapping my head around all this, I'm going to be a mom soon."

"And a wonderful one you will make." Ianto said.

Gwen smiled.

"Do you want kids Yan?" She asked.

"I did." He sighed. "Before I met Jack, put now I'm not so sure."

Gwen froze. Jack, how could she bloody forget about Jack? He wasn't here, he was off on some space adventure. How was Ianto going to take this? Jack would be one of the first people he'd want to see. He's been dead for six months, but it was Jack who was the one with him when he died.

"Gwen?" Ianto's voice cut through her thoughts. "You still there?"

"I'm here Ianto." She just about squeaked.

"Do you know what you're having?" He questioned.

"Rhys is convinced it's a girl but I myself want a boy." Gwen replied as she jumped from the car and walked as fast as she could towards the Hub.

"Why?" Ianto asked. "I thought you'd want a girl."

"Well, I was planning on naming the boy after you." Gwen said as she walked through the door of the Hub. The alarm ringing loudly.

"You were?"

Gwen could practically feel him blushing through the phone.

"Yea I was, hang on a second love." Gwen covered the phone with her hand. "Martha! Martha come on!"

The dark skinned woman appeared from down in the medical bay. Hands on her hips,

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"It's Ianto." Gwen said waving around the phone. "He's alive we've got to go get him!"

Martha's eyes widened.

"What do you mean he's alive?" She exclaimed rushing towards her.

Gwen handed her the phone and began to drag Martha towards the door. Martha looked at the phone in confusion before putting it up to her ear.

"Ianto?"

--

This voice was new, this was not Gwen. But Ianto got the feeling that he new this voice. It was a familiar voice that was for sure. But it was not Rhys, Jack or his sister. When the person repeated his name it hit him.

"Martha?"

He remembered Martha. The doctor that had given Owen a run for his money, the one that Jack spoke very highly of. The pretty one who was always nice to him.

"Oh god Ianto!" Martha just about squealed. "It's really you!"

He laughed, he and Martha didn't even know each other that well and here she was getting excited over the fact that he was alive.

"Yes it's me." He said. "How are you?"

"Forget how I am!" Martha said. "How are you? Does anything hurt? Are you standing up?"

Ianto smiled as Martha went into full medical mode.

"I'm not really sure how I am." He said after a moment. "My whole body hurts now that I think about it and yes I am standing up."

"Your muscles must be stiff," Martha commented more to herself.

"I haven't moved in six months apparently." Ianto said dryly.

Her could hear the smile in her voice.

"I missed that." She murmured.

"Missed what?" Ianto inquired.

"Your sarcasm and humor." She said. "Granted I wasn't with Torchwood long but still you always made me laugh."

"I try my hardest." Ianto replied.

Martha chuckled.

"We'll be there in five minutes Yan." She said suddenly. "We're pulling into the parking lot right now okay?"

Ianto bit his lip, he could by himself for five minutes couldn't he?

"Okay," He said quietly. "See you soon?"

"Of course." Martha replied.

"Martha?" Ianto muttered.

"Yes Ianto?" She asked.

"Please hurry."

It's short and I'm not entirely happy with it. But still, I want to know what you guys think about it. Cause whether or not I continue is completely up to you guys.
