Jack did the best he could to get Gwen to her car while trying to get everything together. Gwen's contractions had become quite close together and she didn't seem to have the capacity to carry herself anywhere. He practically carried her down the stairs to her car. Placing her in the passenger seat of the car, Jack ran to the driver's and started the car. Gwen was now thoroughly in labour and struggling to get regular breaths. 'Gwen, you need to keep breathing in deep breaths. In and out.' Gwen just glared at him and he knew that she didn't really need him telling her what she was meant to be doing. Jack planted his foot on the accelerator and the car lurched into traffic.

Rhys had begun to panic. The day had finally come and he was panicking about what Gwen would need at the hospital. They had made a list of things but for the life of him, Rhys couldn't remember where they had put it. The baby had been the only topic of conversation for months and they had planned everything to the last detail. He grabbed the emergency bag Gwen had stashed in the baby's room. As usual she had everything under control. He pulled the door closed and hurried down the stairs to the street. He didn't even know where they were going to be so as he got into the car he dialed for Gwen as he pulled into the street. The phone rang and it was no surprise that Jack answered. 'Rhys?'

'Jack. I forgot to ask before, what hospital are you going to?' Rhys got no reply but from the noises he could, something wasn't going according to plan. 'Jack!' With again no reply Rhys hung up.

Jack didn't have time to listen to Rhys. Gwen was seriously panicking and he was trying to drive without killing them let alone anyone else. 'Gwen, you need to calm down, this isn't going to do the baby any good.' Gwen grabbed Jack's leg and squeezed. 'I'm sorry Jack, you don't really have you hands free.' Jack tried to smile but Gwen's fingernails were sharp and now thoroughly imbedded in his leg. They were still at least 15 minutes away from the hospital and Jack was certain they weren't going to make it. 'He pulled the car over onto the side walk. 'Jack what are you doing. This doesn't look like the hospital.' Jack turned to her, 'Gwen were not going to make it.' Gwen's gazed turned steely and murderous, 'We'd better make it sunshine or your seriously in trouble.' Jack needed her to understand, she wasn't going to make it to the hospital and she was going to have to have the baby here. 'Gwen, please listen. You're going to have to have the baby here.' She scoffed, 'What! You're not serious. Who is going to deliver it?' Jack just smiled intently. He may not be an obstetrician but he knew a thing or two about delivering a baby. He certainly knew what it was like to have one. 'I will. How hard can it be?' Gwen just looked at him. Another contraction over came her and she squeezed her hand around Jacks. 'Please jack, we need to get to the hospital. Jack turned Gwen's face towards him, 'Gwen, trust me. Everything is going to be fine.'

Rhys had no idea where he was going but he would get there. Jack had been no help what so ever in giving him the directions so he decided to head for Ianto's flat. Gwen might have thought he was asleep last night when she left but sleep had evaded him over the last couple of months. He drove past the flat and towards the nearest hospital.

Jack had moved Gwen to the back seat and made sure she was as comfortable as possible. He knew it would a bit awkward him doing this but he had to make sure this baby would be ok. 'Ok, Gwen, I can see the head, now when the next contraction happens you need to push ok.' Gwen gripped the back of the seat as a contraction came, 'Arrrggghhhh. Jack I'm gonna kill you.'
