Chapter-4

Ianto knew Tosh was right, he did need to talk to Jack, but not that night, he was tired. He needed to be alone, to be able to make sense of all that had happened over the last month.

Tosh and Ianto came up from the archives and Ianto headed to the kitchen to make coffee because this always soothed him and would give him time to think. He look at Tosh, who glanced up at him and smiled. His eyes turned to Gwen, who was on the phone talking to Rhys.

Ianto shuddered. Would Rhys ever know what a deceitful bitch she really was? She said she loved Rhys, threw her relationship with him in our faces and all the time she was plotting to destroy my family.

Ianto pulled his mask up as he filled up and placed four mugs of coffee on a tray. He gave Tosh hers with a smile. She squeezed his hand reassuringly as she thanked her.

Next was Gwen. Ianto took a deep breath and handed her a cup. She took it slowly watching Ianto.

"Thanks, pet. Ianto are you ok?" she asked, fake worry inserted into her voice.

Keeping his mask in place, Ianto assured Gwen he was fine and thanked her for asking.

Ianto headed toward Owen's desk and gave him his coffee. He made Jack last, they needed to talk.

Gwen watched Ianto, slowly sipping her coffee. No decaf, she thought. He's so pathetic, this was too easy. All I had to do was plant a seed of doubt. Gwen smirked. Once Jack and I are married, I'll convince Jack to transfer him to UNIT. Jack and Ianto can share custody of Josh, we don't need a child in our life. We'll get the little brat on holiday.

Tosh was keeping an eye on Gwen, who had decided to go talk to Owen.

Owen spotted Gwen coming his way. What the bloody hell does she want? he internally groaned.

"Hi Owen, what are you doing," she asked innocently.

"Gwen, what do you want?" replied Owen sharply.

Gwen stared at Owen. "What crawled up your arse and died? I just came to talk. What's going on with Jack and Tea-boy?"

"Gwen, you can bat your pretty little eyes all you want, Jack and tea-boy's life is no concern of mine, or yours." he retorted.

"Owen how can you say that? If they're having problems, it could affect our safety in the field." Gwen faked concern.

Owen looked at Gwen and frowned. "Tosh let's get something to eat. We never did order out."

Tosh smiled. "Sure Owen, let me tell Jack."

Walking up the stairs to Jack's office to give him his special blend. He saw Jack staring at their family picture and opened the door quietly. Putting the tray down on a nearby table, he spoke.

"It's not that bad. You can barely see where I hit you for flirting with the photographer."

Jack swung around in his chair. Seeing Ianto smiling, he jumped up and pulled him close, capturing his lips in a deep and passionate kiss. They pulled apart and gazed lovingly into each others eyes. Jack took Ianto by his hand to take him down to his quarters, which led to an hour of passionate, loving sex, and basking in the blissful afterglow afterwards.

Gwen was seething alone in the main hub. She intently watched Jack's office,What the bloody hell is going on up there? she thought.
