Chapter 2

10 minutes later Tosh and Gwen walk into the Hub, giggling like mad.

"Morning Ianto" they call.

Ianto grunts in reply.

"That bad, huh? What's the matter you and Jack had a falling out? He wasn't acting childish again was he?" Gwen says with a laugh.

'You could say that,' Ianto thinks.

"Where is Jack anyway?" Tosh asks.

Panicking "Shower" Ianto answers quickly. He doesn't want anyone to disturb Jack until Owen gets here, plus he hasn't heard a peep out of him since he has been colouring.

"Oh, okay. Could I get a coffee please Ianto?" Gwen asks.

"Sure, want one Tosh?"

"Yes please."

5 minutes later the alarms go off and Owen walks in, hung over as usual.

"Wow, we must be in trouble today guys, its only 09:15 and Owen is here." Gwen teases.

Owen scowls at her, "Coffee!" he demands at Ianto, who subsequently rolls his eyes and goes to make him a drink.

A few minutes later they are all drinking their coffee happily.

"Jacks taking his time isn't he!? I miss his 'Hey Kids!'" Tosh mimics, very poorly Jacks American accent.

"Yeah well about that" Ianto starts and they all turn to look at him "Jack appears to have had a little accident… Not life threating, at least I don't think it is. Not that it would matter if it was." He adds quickly as Owen glares at him.

"What type of accident? Why wasn't I called earlier? And when did you become a doctor to determine if something was 'life threating' or not?" Owen asks with a scowl.

"Come and I will show you." Ianto heads towards Jacks office with the other three in tow.

Ianto pushes open Jacks office door to reveal a room of carnage. Whilst left alone Jack appears to have ripped all of his paper into tiny pieces and thrown them all around the room, along with Iantos pencils and a few items off his desk. Jack is now sat on the couch with a piece of paper in his hand ready to rip it.

"JACK!" Ianto shouts, startling him "put that down right now you bad boy!" he walks over to Jack takes the paper off him and gives a tiny smack on his hand. Tears immediately spring to his eyes and his bottom lips quivers. "Don't you even think about it." Ianto tells him sternly.

The others stand in shock in the doorway to Jacks office.

"Jaa.. Jaacc.. Jack?" Tosh stutters.

"Ianto you can't hit him" Gwen says outraged.

"What the fuck?" is Owens response. Gwen immediately slaps him on the back of the head.

"There is a child in the room."

"Firstly Gwen, this is no child, this is Jack, a centuries old man, who just happens to look 3. And yes I can hit him because he has misbehaved and it was a gentle slap on the hand anyway." Ianto replies.

"What happened?" Owen asks

"No idea, I left yesterday, he was still Jack at that point so it must of happened overnight." Ianto says. "But he does need some clothes that will fit him and we need to figure out what happened."

"Right, Gwen you go get Jack some clothes, plenty, and other essentials, get pull ups as well" Jack shot an offended look Owens direction, Owen ignored him. "Tosh you look through the CCTV and see what you can find that led to this. Ianto you stay in here with Jack whilst I go and get some supplies to check him over." Owen ordered. They all stood staring at Jack for a moment, Owen looked around "Today people" he said and that sent everyone into a flurry of movement.

….

When Owen returned to the office Ianto had sat down on the couch and Jack had sat so he was in his lap, very happily picking up his hand and then dropping it again so it made a slapping noise against his leg and then giggling his head off before doing it again.

"Right, I need to scan Jack with this to make sure no more damage has been done to his already warped mined" Owen said holing up a hand sized scanner that look a little like a checkout bar scanner apart from the screen facing the user.

Ianto lifted Jack off his lap from behind him and then stood up. Jack didn't look very happy about being disturbed playing with Iantos hand. He then dropped Jack onto the seat by himself. "Humph" Jack looked at Ianto in a little put out.

"Now you sit good and let Owen scan you and we will see about getting you some breakfast afterwards." Ianto told him.

Jack nodded.

Owen walked forwards and moved the scanner about an inch away from Jacks body down his entire frame. Jack looked at the scanner with wide eyes, as though it was going to hurt him. He followed the scanner with his head as it went down his body the second time and Owen had to reach out a hand to lift his head back up.

"Okay, that's that done. I will get the results in about 3 hours and I will let you know what is going on. I'll leave you with him." Owen smiled a wicked smile and then left Ianto with Jack.

After Owen left Jack immediately flung his arms up in Iantos direction, demanding to be picked up and cuddled.

"Oh no Mister, you are going to get off the couch and pick up every pencil, object and piece of paper and put them back neatly where they belong." He told him sternly. Jack immediately dropped his arms and gave Ianto his best doe eyes, when Ianto didn't falter he clambered down and started to collect the pencils and put them onto his desk.

20 minutes later when every pencil had been picked up, all the paper was in the bin and all the objects were in the right place, Ianto picked Jack up and walked out of the office towards the kitchen.

….

Making breakfast was a nightmare, Jack touched everything within reach, Ianto had decided on porridge with fruit. After chopping the fruit Ianto had put the knife in the sink and Jack had immediately reached for it.

"Don't touch a thing" Ianto said as he slapped his hand away.

A minute later Ianto was carrying a bowl filled with porridge and chunks of apple in one hand and supporting Jack on his hip with the other up to the board room.

He placed Jack into one chair and put his porridge in front of him, took the seat next to him and put some food onto the spoon and held it to Jacks mouth. Jack kept his mouth firmly shut and moved his head from side to side as Ianto tried to force the spoon into his mouth.

"C'mon Jack!" Ianto sighed "Just eat your breakfast!"

"I can do it" Jack said obviously upset about the fact that he would have to be fed.

"Okay" Ianto said handing him the spoon and pushing his seat closer to the table.

10 long minutes later Jack had porridge around his mouth, down his vest and around the bowl his food was in.

"You do know that the food is supposed to go into your mouth!" Ianto teased.

Jack just giggled at him. 'Gwen really needs to hurry up, so I can get him cleaned up' Ianto thinks as he looks at the messy Jack.

At that moment the alarms blared and the cog door rolled back.
