Chapter-9

Tosh emerged from the autopsy bay, and she looked at Gwen, giving her a sad, but reassuring, smile.

Owen smiled at Tosh, and nodded his head in approval, for he had overheard the conversation between her and Jack.

Jack later followed with his arms folded across his chest as he walked towards Gwen.

He started off in his most sincere voice, "Gwen, I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt or mislead you, and I never wanted you to stray from your life. I just wanted you to maintain some normalcy with Rhys, to have a family, and to be happy. It can happen, even in Torchwood.

Gwen was sobbing, as she felt like her heart was being ripped from her body.

Jack knelt down in front of Gwen. "I do love you Gwen, just as I love Tosh and Owen, and that will never change. I feel that you just need some time away from Torchwood and from me. Then, you will realize that you never loved me and that your heart and love still belongs to Rhys as it always did.

Gwen sniffed. "You think so?" she asked.

"Yes, Gwen, I do" replied Jack, a smile coming onto his face.

Something was still troubling Gwen.

"Jack, what about Ianto?" she asked. "Will he ever forgive me?"

Unbeknownst to her, Ianto wasn't sleeping, but watching and listening to every word on the CCTV in Jack's office."

Coming out of Jack office, he said to her, "Gwen, we all make painful mistake. Mine was Lisa, and all of you have forgiven me. Yes, Gwen, with time, I can forgive you also."

Gwen smiled at this. "Ianto, I'm so sorry. I hope we can become friends."

Ianto nodded, staying silent.

Jack spoke again. "Gwen, I'm not firing or retconing you. This wasn't all your fault, sometimes I forget that things are so much different in the 21st century. Things I perceive as innocent can mean so much more to the other person. I'm suspending you for 2 weeks with pay, so that you and Rhys can take a vacation and relax. Rekindle that special love you have for each other."

Gwen sadly kissed Jack on the cheek saying, "Jack, Ianto, I really am so sorry."

Jack turned to Tosh. "Everything is quiet, so we can call it a day. I'm transferring the rift alarm to my wrist strap so I'll know if anything new comes up."

Jack looked at Ianto. "I want to collect my adorable son and take my gorgeous husband home to celebrate our new little miracle."

Owen looked at Tosh. "

Tosh, want to hang at the pub for awhile?" he asked, almost nervously.

"Owen, I would be delight," replied Tosh, ever the lady. They both grabbed their coats and left.

Jack knew things would be tense for awhile with Gwen and Ianto, but he had faith that they could overcome this.

Jack knew that he and Ianto loved each other, and with the arrival of another little miracle they couldn't have been happier.

After making his final check, feeding Janet, and visiting Myfanwy's nest to leave her some of her favorite chocolate, Jack and Ianto Harkness-Jones left the hub to collect their son and then went home. As Jack and Ianto arrived home, Jack carried their adorable sleeping 2-year-old into their home, unaware of the dark shadow that had been stalking them since they left the hub.

Watching, the stalker smiles and taps the window, signaling her driver to leave.

The End ?
