Thank you to everyone who reviewed I hope this chapter is going to be liked as well.
The team followed jack out of the Hub and towards the garage to load the SUV and follow the Rift signal. Ianto could see Owen watching him darkly from the edge of his eyes. Making their way to the boxes with gear, Jack took his one hand and Gwen's in the other. Gwen give him a questioning look, but he just lifted an eyebrow at her. She reached towards his hand to snatch the case form him but Jack backed away, sniggering.
"You are not going to carry anything by your hand back from now, until the little one is out," Jack said and the only thing missing from making the situation even more nauseous for Ianto was jack sticking his tongue out playfully. Ianto's stomach twisted into a knot at the told of what it was going to happen, because he was sure that Jack was going to dump him really soon. And he couldn't tell him.
Owen reached towards Ianto's case, evidently trying to for Ianto what Jack had done to Gwen. But Ianto give him a look that clearly said: 'Cary my case for me, and your face is going to get acquainted to my right hook.'
Shrugging his shoulders Owen left the little twit to carry his own case if the so wished. The cases weren't that heavy and he still had a time until not being able to carry anything over a shopping bag. Finally getting into the SUV, Ianto traded his place in the front passenger sit to Gwen. He couldn't face staying next to Jack at the moment and having nothing but the front view to distract him from the captain.
Another bout of nausea hit him and Ianto was sure that he shouldn't have listened to Owen to quickly eat that bacon roll before they got to the car. It was threatening to come out now, as every breakfast that he had in the last couple of weeks. Just when he though that his stomach might have settled, the SUV gave a sharp lunge when Jack took a left turn way too fast. Ianto was happy to some extend to see that Gwen was actually looking quite green as well, her breakfast probably well on the way out as well.
Ianto was wondering who will be the first to crack and ask Jack to stop, so they can get out and promptly throw up. He thought he might be that unfortunate person, but then Tosh called and he had to push his discomfort down and think about the mission.
"The signal is coming at just a 100m from you, Jack," Tosh told them from the comms.
"Ok, we better go out and keep this on foot so we won't let them now we are coming by the motor of the car alerting them," Jack said and Ianto and Gwen were glad to be able to get out of the care and take a deep breaths to push the sick feeling back. Everyone filed out of the SUV and took their guns with them leaving the cases behind, everyone but Owen who took his medical kit with him in case of emergency.
"The signal is coming from the first building on your right," Tosh told them and left them to it not wanting to distract them with a chat.
"Ok, Gwen you are with me taking the left, Ianto and Owen take the right," Jack said and walked to the left side of the building followed by Gwen leaving Ianto to watch them going and feeling dejected used to being the one to go with Jack. Owen shook his shoulder to get his attention.
"We have to go mate, there's job to be don," Owen said sounding annoyed, and Ianto didn't know if he was annoyed with Ianto for getting distracted in time of the mission, of with Jack for the way he was acting. "You keep close to me and no heroics alright?" Owen told him firmly.
Ianto nodded and followed Owen to the right side of the building. He didn't feel heroic anyway. When they entered the building they were met by a dark room, the light from the outside was blocked by the blindfolds on the windows. A dark shadow hurried fast towards them, knocked Ianto on the ground and scurried outside. The impact was hart and in speed hitting Ianto right in the middle and knocking the wind out of him. Something heavy and hard hit him before he knew what was happening and threw him on the ground. He let out a quiet whimper, not even having the breath to yell and Owen shot the creature with a curse. Not even bothering the make sure that the fallen creature was really dead, Owen knelt by Ianto's side and checked the area around his abdomen. Ianto whimpered again when Owen touched his stomach. His face screwed in pain and Owen was sure he could feel swelling which could indicate starting to feel with blood internally, unless Ianto was in more advanced stage of his pregnancy and that was the baby. But Owen was mostly sure that it wasn't the baby, which only meant big trouble for Ianto.
"Shit, I told him not to take you to he field, " Owen cursed.
He could see Ianto fighting to stay conscious with too much of an effort and he was losing the colour of his face rapidly. Just before Owen could tap on his comm and connect to Jack to tell him that he was taking the SUV to get Ianto to the Hub, although a hospital would have been better because Owen wasn't sure that he could manage to save either Ianto or the baby alone, there was a shot from the left side of the building, and a distinct yelp by Gwen, and another shot that Owen was sure was from the Webley, and he was sure Jack had killed the other alien.
"Owen I need you the bastard Blowfish hit Gwen in the arm," Jack sounded worried over the comm.
