I do not own the rights to torchwood if I did then Ianto Jones would not have died and there would be no need for fanfiction about him coming back.

Well here's chapter 3 – I'm so glad you guys liked it and thanks for the reviews =)

Chapter 3

The next day Gwen stood by Jenny's desk and watched as the screen displayed all these numbers that Gwen didn't have a clue how too make sense off. Jenny was saying something about getting in touch with her father. She thought maybe he could help. Gwen gave Jenny a caring smile and walked over too Ianto as he walked into the hub.

"Hey there!" she said smiling brightly, "How are you feeling?"

Ianto smiled – he wondered why Gwen had left him sleeping but didn't bring it up. He nodded his head before answering.

"Hello Gwen – I think I'm alright!" he said unsure, "I guess I'm just tired!"

Gwen nodded her head – after all the screaming he had done in his sleep she didn't blame him for being tired. It broke her heart too see her best friend in so much pain. She had laid in her bed as tears had flowed down her face. She missed Jack but not as much as Ianto did and he didn't even remember who Jack was.

"Well love we'll get you back on your feet!" she said smiling, "Right do you want to get too meet your new coffee machine!"

Maya took a deep breath in – she knew that the coffee machine had been his in the old Torchwood – it made sense Gwen would give him the coffee machine again – even if it were a new one he'd never seen before.

"Maya why not you help Jenny?" Gwen suggested, "I've got this!"

Maya gave an unconvincing smile and walked off towards Jenny.

"There we go Ianto!" she said hoping the machine would help him.

The coffee machine was an exact double of the old one. She had done this on purpose too make sure that nothing was changed. It had been her way of remembering her friends. She watched as Ianto's hands trailed over the machine. He pulled the leavers and placed a mug under the end where the coffee came out. He smiled as Gwen jumped up and down.

"Ianto you remembered!" she said excited.

"I…It just came too me!" he said happy that his memories were coming back, "I touched the machine and knew how too work it!"

Gwen smiled, "Good because to be honest Maya doesn't really know how too work it!" she laughed, "Its good too have you back!"

Gwen felt like she had said that a million times since she had saw him again but she couldn't help it – her best friend was back and this time she was going to make sure he wasn't going anywhere.

"Thank you Gwen!" he said as he walked to the couch and sat down.

Gwen watched and smiled – she sat down beside him and rested a hand on his shoulder.

"Ianto they'll come back – your memories – you will be you again!"

He smiled – an Ianto smile – a proper genuine happy smile. She was happy too see it. He was just hoping she was right. His biggest fear was if they didn't come back. What if he was the man with no memories forever?

Matthew and Maya had been in the autopsy bay. Maya had walked over too Jenny's work station to find out she was working on something that would help Ianto. She had stormed down too the autopsy bay and Matthew had been raging as well.

"What makes him so special?" Matt repeated his statement from the previous day, "He's an old Torchwood officer who slept with his boss and now Gwen bloody Cooper is acting like he's the most amazing person on earth!"

Maya laughed, "You are so right Mattie!" she said as she walked towards him and kissed him, "But "Gwen bloody Cooper" is our boss!"

Matt laughed as he kissed her back, "Well maybe we should overthrow the boss!" he said.

"And how do you suggest we do this?" she asked him.

Maya didn't really think Matt meant it but Matt was dreadfully serious. He really wanted too get rid off Gwen and take over. She looked at him and backed her way – her eyes flashing.

"Matt you can't just get rid of Gwen!" she said – serious now herself, "She's our boss!"

"And?" he asked her, "What of it Maya?"

"And? She's our friend – she helped us – god Matt she saved us!" she said a little angry now, "Look I'll see you at home – Gwen told me too help Jenny!"

Maya climbed the steps out of the autopsy bay and back over to Jenny's work station.

"Hey Jen want some help?" she asked trying too put what Matt had said too the back of her head.

Jenny turned her head and smiled, "Sure thing Maya – so what do you think of Ianto then?" she asked her friend smiling.

Maya smiled brightly, "He seems nice – okay my job was his and now he's got it back but it's not like I've been fired – I think he's a good guy!"

"I think he's kind and nice too!" she said smiling, "I think he's the kind of guy who would help anyone!"

"And he's definitely gay!" Maya said laughing.

"Maybe I don't know!" she said looking at her, "Maybe it was just this Jack guy – the famous Captain Jack Harkness!"

Maya smiled, "Maybe!" she sighed.

"You alright? Maya" Jenny asked her concerned.

"It's nothing just something Matt said!" she answered looking at her.

Jenny gave her a comforting smile and turned her attention back too her screen. Maya gave a weak smile in response as she helped her with the numbers.

Ianto sat on the couch looking around him. He remembered the hub – he felt at home here but at the same time it wasn't the same. Not without Jack and even that was strange too him. He couldn't fully remember Jack but he knew he had loved him and that now he was gone it was hard for him.

"Where are you Jack?" he whispered too himself.

He stood up and walked to the cog door. He took a glance backwards and walked up the stairs too the bay. The minute he walked out the door – the cold air hit him. He wrapped his jacket round him tighter and walked too the railing that separated the wall from the water. He sighed as he looked up at the sky. He pretended he could see the stars and that somehow Jack was watching Earth from space. Waiting for the right moment too come back. Ianto sighed as he sat down on the wall – he wanted the nightmares too end. He wanted Jack too come back and too tell him it was all going too be okay. Memories or not Ianto Jones needed his captain – there was nothing else to do about it.
