THE HAPPY DAY PT1
'This dress is beautiful, where did you find it?' Gwen was going to give Jack away at his wedding this afternoon. 'I have my way with things.' Gwen was in an emerald green dress. It was very elegant and by the way it fell from just below the bust hid her very slight bump on her stomach. The designer dress had thick shoulder straps and a bow on the left one. The hem of the dress had small green sequins attached all the way round. Jack had a massive grin on his face and had a look of excitement like a five year old at Christmas. 'So what will you do if Ianto doesn't show up at the altar? All this money on a new suit on my dress wasted.' Gwen was teasing him as she knew he was doubtful that Ianto would actually show up. Jack thought he was too good to be true. Like he was just stuck in one good dream which would turn out to be a nightmare when he woke up, split from the love of his life, the love of his universe.
'Hey you're coming to my 'hen night' tonight right?'
'Yeah, that's the plan and I'm bringing Rhys. Hang on; you are having more than me and Rhys?' Gwen was a little worried now because she knows that Jack lives his life on torchwood and torchwood is a twenty-four seven job. "He has his friends at torchwood, but who else?" Gwen was a little puzzled now about Jack. 'Yeah, Alice will be there but I can't trust my daughter not to leave, she hasn't forgiven me. Not that I can trust you to not get a bump in your stomach just before get married, even if it is only just see able.' Jack was too hyper now to be serious.
'Yeah, well as long as my baby doesn't come out tomorrow I think I'll be fine. Anyway will give me some privacy I need to get changed.'
Ianto was sitting alone in his flat getting ready for his stag night. He was glad he didn't have to play the more feminine role in this wedding, what would his sister think. For starters she only found out that he was bisexual a couple of weeks ago but to then find out her baby brother was getting married to a man, she was completely freaked out. Ianto wasn't exactly expecting the proposal himself.
It happened on the Friday Ianto nearly died. The day the 456 nearly took 10% of the children population. The 456 let a poisonous gas off when he and Jack were trying to save the population. He was knocked unconscious for a long time but somehow they managed to save him. He did loose life for seven minutes. That's when Jack realized, he realized that he loved Ianto more than anyone had loved ever. He was staying on the Earth because of this guy and he could not live without him, he would live in a tank of fire if this guy left him and by some miracle this guy loved him like that too. It was the moment he knew for definite that Ianto would survive that Jack left his bedside to get him the most magnificent proposal watch you could ever buy. He ran all the way to the best jewellers in Cardiff and bought Ianto the most diamond encrusted watch he could find.
He ran to the torchwood hub to make himself look presentable and to get his newly bought black Mercedes convertible. He drove back to the hospital and went to Ianto's bedside. Luckily for Jack Ianto hadn't awoken. Jack sat by Ianto watching over him being his guardian Angel for eight hours until Ianto became conscious. At the first sign Ianto was awake Jack knelt on one knee, opened the box with the watch in it and said to Ianto 'you are the most incredible person in the world, I have never known such a large amount of love to be possible, but I love you more than anyone else could possibly love someone, which is why I'm asking you, will you marry me? Will you make me the happiest person alive and be my husband? Will you be the love of my life? Please, I love you so, so much, Will you marry me?'
Ianto was smiling whilst retelling the story to himself. It always made him laugh when Jack tells him "your face was so funny, you looked like you had swallowed a pebble. At least you did choke out a yes though because what would I do without my honeybunch?"
Ianto looked at the clock and realized he should probably set out to the bluebell – a new pub in town. He hoped so much that Jack wouldn't be at the same place because although he loved him dearly, he really didn't want anything to go wrong and with Jack anything could turn out to be trouble.
